EXP 1-4 Description
Axisymmetric drop impact dynamics on a wall film of the same liquid
Description of Study Test Case
This section should: * Convey the general set-up of the test case configuration (e.g. airflow over a bump on the floor of a wind tunnel) * Describe the geometry, illustrated by a sketch * Specify the flow parameters which define the flow regime (e.g. Reynolds number, Rayleigh number, angle of incidence etc.) * give the principal quantities of interest that were measured - these should include global parameters but also mean-flow and turbulence parameters. The description can be kept fairly short if reference can be made to a publication or a link to a data base where details are given. For other cases a more detailed, self-contained description should be provided.
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) while 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 and the Ohnesorge number Oh = 0.03, respectively. The drop velocity is varied from 1 to 3 m/s. Accordingly, the Weber number We = is in the range 78 – 702 while the Reynolds number Re = We0.5/Oh is in the range 300 – 900, see the Table below.
| 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 |
