Atomization characteristics experiment of impinging jets with power-law fluid
airflow disturbances and metal particles on the atomization characteristics were studied by PIV (particle image velocimetry) technology. The experimental results indicate that when the two asymmetric jets impinges at low weber number
the chain sheet appears
and as the eccentricity increases
the link-length decreases. Fish bones regime can be found when the jet is with different length. Additional airflow disturbances can increase the atomization quality
because when the surface wave's intensity is increased
it will break up more easily
as a result
the width of fluid sheet and the SMD (sauter mean diameter) of droplets decrease. When power-law fluid contains aluminum particles
its strength is smaller and its max length decreases obviously. The droplets' SMD convergence does not change
as well
the SMD reaches convergence in shorter time. In conclusion
proper jet asymmetry
airflow disturbances and metal particles can improve impinging jets' atomization performance with power-law fluid.
