Breakup of Round Nonturbulent Liquid Jets in Gaseous Crossflow

چکیده
An experimental investigation of the primary breakup of round nonturbulent liquid jets in gaseous crossflow is described. Pulsed shadowgraph and holograph observations were made to determine the following breakup properties: primary breakup regimes, conditions required for the onset of ligament and drop formation, ligament and drop sizes along the liquid surface, drop velocities after breakup, rates of liquid breakup along the liquid surface, conditions required for the breakup of the liquid column as a whole, and liquid column trajectories. These observations were made for round nonturbulent liquid jets in subsonic crossflow at normal temperature and pressure. The results suggest qualitative similarities between the primary breakup of nonturbulent round liquid jets in gaseous crossflow and the secondary breakup of drops subjected to shock wave disturbances. Phenomenological analyses were effective to help interpret and correlate the new measurements of the primary breakup properties of nonturbulent round liquid jets in gaseous crossflow.

Anexperimental investigation of the deformation andbreakupproperties of turbulent round liquid jets in uniform gaseous crossflows is described. Pulsed shadowgraphandholographobservationswere obtained for turbulent round liquid jets injected normal to air crossflow in a shock tube. Crossflow velocities of the air behind the shock wave relative to the liquid jet were subsonic (36–90 m=s) and the ...
متن کاملBallistic imaging of the liquid core for a steady jet in crossflow.
A time-gated ballistic imaging instrument is used to obtain high-spatial-resolution, single-shot images of the liquid core in a water spray issuing into a gaseous crossflow. We describe further development of the diagnostic technique to improve spatial resolution and present images and statistics for various jets under crossflow experimental conditions (different Weber numbers). Series of these...
متن کاملDetailed simulations of primary breakup of turbulent liquid jets in crossflow
The problem of breakup of a liquid fuel in a crossflow finds relevance in applications such as lean premixed prevaporized (LPP) ducts, afterburners for gas turbines and combustors for ramjets and scramjets. Combustion efficiency and pollutant formation are directly determined by the efficient mixing of the fuel/air mixture, which is in turn controlled by the breakup of the fuel jet. Liquid jet ...
