Abstract:
The following study investigates splashing of impinging water droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces with and without the presence of a stagnation flow. Droplets were accelerated by either gravity or gravity and co-flow. By changing the height and the air flow velocity different combinations of stagnation flow and droplet velocity were created. The spreading diameter, spreading velocity and contact time were studied for different air and droplet speeds. It was clearly observed that for a fixed impact velocity (i.e. constant Weber number), the presence of the stagnation flow promotes splashing a

Abstract:
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter purifiers are a recommended method for eliminating respiratory airborne droplets. In this study, the movement of airborne droplets exhaled by occupants in an unventilated, two-bed dormitory room with an air purifier was simulated using computational fluid dynamics. The air was modeled using an Eulerian scheme while the droplets were modeled using a Lagrangian method. The airborne droplet number, the rate at which droplets are removed, and the rate at which droplets accumulate were calculated. A larger HEPA flow rate increased the droplet removal ef

Abstract:
The present paper deals with oil droplet flow phenomena in aero engine bearing chambers. An experimental investigation of droplet sizes and velocities utilizing a Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer (PDPA) has been performed for the first time in bearing chamber atmospheres under real engine conditions. Influences of high rotational speeds are discussed for individual droplet size classes. Although this is an important contribution to a better understanding of the droplet flow impact on secondary air/oil system performance, an analysis of the droplet flow behavior requires an incorporation of nume

Abstract:
Air-assisted sprayers are widely employed in orchards, but inappropriate spray parameters can lead to large droplet losses, pesticide waste, and environmental pollution. To investigate the factors affecting the droplet loss of an air-assisted sprayer behind canopies, a two-factor, five-level full experiment was conducted in an actual orchard, where the two factors were the power gradient and foliage area volume density (FAVD). In addition, the location of the sampling point was also considered in the data analysis, including horizontal distance, forward distance, and height. The results show t

Typical dependences of the time of droplet heatup before disintegration or fragmentation on the temperature, flow rate, structure and regime (laminar and turbulent) are established. The studies are conducted with heated air and flue gases to ensure the application of the research results in the technology of thermal and flame cleaning of liquids from irregular impurities.

The impact of supercooled water droplets is the cause of aircraft icing, and the acquisition of impingement characteristics is the key to icing prediction and the design of ice protection systems. The introduction of water droplet collection efficiency is required to obtain the characteristics for the Lagrangian method.

Abstract Inlet air filtration of ships and coastal installations is mainly used to filter out salt aerosol particles, so researches on the inlet filter needs to simulate spray aerosol state in the marine environment. The sea salt aerosol particles have multiple sizes, thus salt aerosol generator should have the ability to produce salt aerosol particles of various diameters. This paper investigates the factors that affect the particle diameter of a salt aerosol generating device.

The lubrication and heat transfer designs of bearing chamber depend on an understanding of oil/air two-phase flow. As initial and boundary conditions, the characteristics of ligament and droplet generation by oil film on rotating parts have significant influence on the feasibility of oil/air two-phase flow analysis. An integrated model to predict the oil film flow, ligament number, and droplet Sauter mean diameter (SMD) of a rotating disk, which is an abstraction of the droplet generation sources in a bearing chamber, is developed based on the oil film force balance analysis and wave theory.

Abstract The droplet–gas flow in effervescent atomization was simulated using a comprehensive numerical model. Liquid film thicknesses in the nozzle exit orifice and droplet size distribution at the downstream of spray were calculated. The thickness of liquid film in the nozzle exit orifice increased and approached the droplet size in the primary atomization, as the air–liquid ratio increased. The primary breakup model can accurately predict the Sauter mean diameter in the primary atomization when gas–liquid two-phase flow belongs to the annular flow in the nozzle exit orifice.

Abstract:
The oil–air lubrication method is specifically employed for high or ultra-high-speed spindle rolling bearings. Under high-speed conditions, the air curtain formed inside the bearing cavity obstructs oil delivery, thereby limiting further increases in spindle rotation speed. To enhance oil delivery capability, a guiding-structured nozzle has been developed to concentrate the jet flow and improve penetration through the air curtain. Tests were conducted on an oil–air lubricated bearing test bench to investigate the impact of nozzle structures and oil types on torque and temperature rise. The res

The gels are atomized using an air atomizing nozzle.
