Drop deformation and breakup due to shock wave and steady disturbances

An experimental study of drop deformation properties induced by both shock wave and steady disturbances is described. Three test facilities were used, as follows: a shock tube facility for measurements of effects of shock wave disturbances on drops in gases, a 10 m high drop tube facility for measur...

Description
Summary:An experimental study of drop deformation properties induced by both shock wave and steady disturbances is described. Three test facilities were used, as follows: a shock tube facility for measurements of effects of shock wave disturbances on drops in gases, a 10 m high drop tube facility for measurements of effects of steady disturbances on drops in gases and a 1 m high drop tube facility for measurements of effects of steady disturbances on drops in liquids. Various dispersed and continuous phase gases and liquids were considered to provide dispersed/continuous phase density ratios of 1.15–12,000, Ohnesorge numbers of 0.0006–600, Weber numbers of 0.004–700 and Reynolds numbers of 0.03–16,000. At low Ohnesorge numbers (
