Abstract: | Studies have been made on the fragmentation of liquid metal drops falling through a waterglycerine mixture containing small
amounts of nitrogen bubbles owing to the passage of a strong shock wave. The apparent drop volume increased with lime, but
neither stripping of small droplets nor misty wake formation was observed in the high-speed photographs. The drop flattened
initially into a spherical cap which increased in radius, but remained smooth, within the time period of interest. Hence the
Taylor instability is not the principal fragmentation mechanism at these Weber numbers (5-644). Entrainment of liquid into
the drop was the cause of breakup, and was postulated to be due to turbulent mixing resulting from vorticity generation near
the plane of separation. A hydrodynamic fragmentation model was developed which predicts the rale of drop volume increase
reasonably well. The breakup time constant was presented, and drop trajectory can also be predicted from the model. |
