Bubble-induced atomisation measurements

Characterisation of liquid breakup in the near nozzle region of a jet in which well-defined bubbles are introduced. The size, location and number of bubbles will be controlled via hypodermic needles. Reynolds and Weber numbers will be controlled independently by using different fluids. Nozzle flow rate will be kept at nominal steady-state conditions in an effort to minimise or eliminate the influence of pressure and flow rate variations on atomisation.
