A physically-informed sea spray generation model for splashing waves
Kaitao Tang, Thomas A. A. Adcock, Wouter Mostert
Large sea spray drops - of up to 2mm in diameter - constitute one of the most uncertain factors controlling the intensification of hurricanes and severe storms because their genera…
Droplet Bag Formation in Turbulent Airflows
Kaitao Tang, Thomas A. A. Adcock, Wouter Mostert
We present novel numerical simulations investigating the evolution of liquid droplets into bag-like structures in turbulent airflows. The droplet bag breakup problem is of signific…
Fragmentation of Colliding Liquid Rims
Kaitao Tang, Thomas Adcock, Wouter Mostert
We present direct numerical simulations of the splashing process between two cylindrical liquid rims. This belongs to a class of impact and collision problems with a wide range of…
Bag Film Breakup of Droplets in Uniform Airflows
Kaitao Tang, Thomas Adcock, Wouter Mostert
We present novel numerical simulations investigating the bag breakup of liquid droplets. We first examine the viscous effect on drop deformation before the onset of bag breakup, co…
