Here, the analysis is restricted to a region near the orifice where s N z, or to the lowest order dz -= uo dt and (A61 from Equation (16) into Equation ( A l l ) gives, with some rearrangementwhereat t z w -1 and R > 1 . 0 (A12) where 1 < 2K < 2.4 and l~/ l~ = O(1) for 1 < R < 01.Thus, the assumption that jet fluid parcels near the orifice travel a distance equal to that of the ambient fluid for times on the order of u--1 appears to be a reasonable one. Surface Ablation in the Region of a Liquid Jet Impingement A theoretical and experimental investigation of a water jet impinging on a melting solid surface has been carried out. Ice, octane, p-xylene, and olive oil served as the meltable solid materials, comprising a Prandtl number range of 5 to 2 800. An available laminar stagnation flow model was utilized to describe melting heat transfer in the jet impingement region. Melting rate measurements were found to agree quite well with the values predicted with this model.
SCOPEFluid jets impinging on surfaces resdt in high rates of heat transfer as compared with most other forced convection flow geometries. This fact has led to the recent application of hot liquid or gaseous jets to drill through solid material (hlellor, 1974). An important feature of the flow in this application is the insulating effect of the thin layer of melt which forms between the impinging jet and the melting solid. Melting in the impingement region of a fluid jet is also important in other practical situations; for example, the aerospace industry relies on meltable materials to relieve aerodynamic heating in the stagnation Correspondence concerning this paper should be addressed to Michael Epstein.

An experimental investigation of an impinging water jet freezing on a melting solid surface has been carried out. Attention was focused on the stagnation region of an axisymmetric jet. In the experiment, a water jet was directed upward against the lower end of a meltable rod, having a diameter about twice that of the jet orifice. Solid octane (m.p.—56.5°C) and solid mercury (m.p.—38.9°C) served as the meltable materials. A laminar‐axisymmetric flow model was developed to describe melting heat transfer in the presence of jet solidification within the impingement region. Measurements of the melting rate and conditions for the onset of jet solidification were found to agree quite well with the values predicted with this model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
