EXP 1-4 Description
Axisymmetric drop impact dynamics on a wall film of the same liquid
Description of Study Test Case
A sketch of the general set-up of the experiment and the geometry is shown in Fig. 3 in Section Lib:EXP 1-4 Experimental Set Up. The principal quantities measured are given in Section Lib:EXP 1-4 Measurement Quantities and Techniques.
The liquid used in the experiments is silicone oil (density ρ = 920 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity ν = 5 ⋅ 10-6 m2/s, surface tension σ = 0.0177 N/m) and the ambient gas is air (density 1.2 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity 1.52 ⋅ 10-5 m2/s). The film height h = 500 μm as well as the drop diameter D = 1.5 mm are kept fixed, resulting in the dimensionless film thickness δ = h/D = 0.33. The drop velocity U is varied from 1 to 3 m/s. Accordingly, the Weber number We = ρDU2/σ is in the range 78 – 702 while the Reynolds number Re = DU/ν is in the range 300 – 900.
| Impact energy | Impact velocity | Weber number | Reynolds number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 1 m/s | 78.0 | 300 |
| Moderate | 2 m/s | 311.9 | 600 |
| High | 3 m/s | 701.7 | 900 |
