Atomization of an Undulating Liquid Sheet
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an experimental study devoted to the understanding of break-up mechanisms of liquid sheets. A shear instability develops at the interface liquid/gas resulting in an undulated motion of the liquid sheet. These undulations trig a Rayleigh-Taylor instability leading to azimuthal thickness modulations. A model including the development of both instabilities allows us to predict the sheet and drops sizes.

Towards Controlled Liquid Atomization
The present study discuss controlling mechanisms of air-blast atomization and the prospect of external triggering for enhancing atomization quality of a planar liquid sheet. The investigation builds on previous experimental evidence provided by flow visualization of 2-D liquid sheets formed between two co-flowing air streams at variable velocities, and is particularly aimed to improve our under...
متن کاملEffect of temperature on atomization in gas centered coaxial injection systems
This paper summarizes the current status of research work carried out at IISc on the characterization of liquid sprays developing from gas centered coaxial injection systems. The coaxial system injects an annular swirling liquid sheet and a central gaseous jet. The interaction process between the swirling liquid sheet and the non-swirling gaseous jet results in a fine spray. The present study a...
