Breakup of planar liquid sheets injected at high speed in a quiescent gas environment
Mohan Ananth,

Abstract:Using a combination of mean flow spatial linear stability and two-dimensional volume-of-fluid (VoF) simulations, the physics governing the instability of high-speed liquid sheets being injected into a quiescent gas environment is studied. It is found that the gas shear layer thickness
$\delta _G$
plays an influential role, where for values
$\delta _G/H\lesssim 1/8$
, the growth of sinuous and varicose modes is nearly indistinguishable. Here,
