Liquid jet disintegration in pools
The mathematical description of jet breakup has attracted the attention of outstanding scientists in the past. Lord Rayleigh analyzed for the first time in 1878 the instability of jets. Nils Bohr extended Rayleigh’s analysis to include viscous effects, in a prize-winning paper on the evaluation of surface tension in 1909. Constantin Weber went on to obtain the breakup length for a viscous jet in 1936. In 1936 after his experimental observation with a high-speed camera (200 to 12000 frames per second) Wolfgang von Ohnesorge classified four different regimes of jet breakup, introduced a dimensionless number quantifying the properties of the jet, and described successfully two jet transition boundaries. Weber in 1936 and later Taylor in Batchelor (1958) introduced in addition to the previous analyses the influence of the environment on jet breakup. These are the fundamental works in jet fragmentation theory used in almost all later works on this topic. In recent times nozzle geometry has been found to strongly influence jet dynamics. Geometries not allowing the establishment of a turbulent boundary layer produce more stable jets than those that promote turbulent boundary layers at the jet interface – see Iciek (1982).
