An experimental and theoretical investigation of spray characteristics of impinging jets in impact wave regime
Neil S. Rodrigues, Varun Kulkarni, Jian Gao +2
The current study focuses on experimentally and theoretically improving the characterization of the drop size and drop velocity for like-on-like doublet impinging jets. The experim…

On interdependence of instabilities and average drop sizes in bag breakup
Varun Kulkarni, Nikhil Shirdade, Neil Rodrigues +2
A drop exposed to cross flow of air experiences sudden accelerations which deform it rapidly ultimately proceeding to disintegrate it into smaller fragments. In this work, we exami…

Bag breakup of low viscosity drops in the presence of a continuous air jet
Varun Kulkarni, Paul E. Sojka
This work examines the breakup of a single drop of various low viscosity fluids as it deforms in the presence of continuous horizontal air jet. Such a fragmentation typically occur…
