Abstract:The paper presents novel analytical droplet breakup criteria, on Weber number (We)-relative turbulence intensity and We-Ohnesorge (Oh) representations, based on the critical Weber number. The We-Oh analytical criterion stressed the importance of turbulence effects on We-Oh breakup criterion at high We-Oh applications. In developing the analytical models the energy criterion for a disturbed parent droplet to disintegrate and the dual-timescale for turbulent shear in droplet dispersion were considered. The prese… Show more
