Experimental study of the Ohnesorge number effect on the size of droplets formed as a result of the jet capillary breakup

Resumo

The theoretically calculated dependence of the sizes of the main and satellite droplets on the dimensionless wave number of the perturbation of the surface of the Newtonian fluid jet is proved experimentally. It is also shown that an increase in the fluid viscosity significantly changes the dynamics of development of capillary waves in the jet and the mechanism of formation of satellite droplets.
