Impingement of an unsteady two-phase jet on unheated and heated flat plates

Abstract
This paper is concerned with an experimental investigation of the oblique impingement of an unsteady, axisymmetric two-phase jet on heated surfaces. Size and velocity were measured simultaneously with a phase-Doppler velocimeter, and the spatial distributions over the wall jet were found to be correlated with the interfacial activities as inferred from vertical velocity measurements in the vicinity of the wall. These results are discussed together with size measurements by a laser-diffraction technique to quantify the effect of the approach conditions of the inflowing jet droplet field and wall temperature in relation to mechanisms of secondary atomization.
