An effect of initial disturbance on the breakup mechanism of liquid jet

초기교란이 액주의 분열기구에 미치는 영향

The present experimental study investigates the effect of an initial disturbance on the breakup mechanism of a liquid column. With varying the maginitude of the inital disturbance, we measure the surface wave of liquid column with adopting laser shadow method and analyze the growth rate of liquid column and breakup frequency. The experimental results show that thebreakup characteristics of liquid column is significantly influenced by the frequency of the initial disturbance. We concluded that the most uniform droplet occurs when the frequency of initial disturbance coincides with the natural frequency of the liquid column.
