Characterization of droplet/vapor/vortex interactions in a two-dimensional shear layer
Abstract
This note describes a vaporline visualization technique and associated numerical model that are useful in characterizing the convective transport of vapor from evaporating droplets. The physical process has been modeled successfully, and the correlation between experimental data and model predictions is excellent. This visualization technique is easy to apply to low-velocity, two-dimensional flows, but its application becomes increasingly difficult in three-dimensional and high-velocity flows. However, it is anticipated that this visualization technique will be applied with some success to flows that are more complex than a two-dimensional shear layer.
