An experimental investigation is conducted to determine the effect of liquid viscosity and density, nozzle diameter, and flow velocity on the break-up length and spreading angle of liquid sheets formed by splash plate nozzles. Various mixtures of corn syrup and water were used to obtain viscosities in the range of 1–170 mPa s. Four different splash plate nozzle diameters of 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm, with a constant plate angle of 55 deg were tested. The liquid sheet angles and the break-up lengths were measured at various operating conditions. An empirical correlation for the sheet spreading angle and a semi-empirical correlation for the sheet break-up lengths are developed.

AbstractThe aerodynamically driven annular liquid sheet exhibits a complex nonlinear instability. Novel interfacial velocimetry experiments suggest that two distinct physical sources of instability may be present. The first is the well-known free shear layer instability, which is quasi-sinusoidal and nonlinear. The second is a distinct nonlinear rupturing instability, modulated on the previous one. It may be directly driving primary atomization. This instability has not been previously observed in isolation and is inherently nonlinear and non-sinusoidal. Novel application of Koopman analysis and the Hilbert transform permit investigation of these distinct instabilities. A greater understanding of the rupturing instability may lead to a better understanding of atomization phenomena.
