Shock Tube Investigation of the Breakup of Drops by Air Blasts

Abstract
The breakup of drops exposed to blasts of air is studied in a shock tube. Results are obtained for water, methyl alcohol, and three viscous oils. An acoustical drop holder has been developed in which radiation pressure is used to support the drops at rest in the shock tube. Photographs showing new details in the breakup process are presented.
