Abstract

A high speed photographic study was conducted to investigate the mechanisms of breakup of falling liquid Fe–5 %C drops in the horizontal flow of a stationary oxygen gas jet of varying velocities (0.2 to 1.3 Mach number). High speed motion pictures, at 5000 frames/s, were taken to show the deformation and subsequent breakup of freely falling liquid drops in the gas jet. The parameters which were varied during the study included the gas jet velocity and droplet size. The operation of the experimental equipment is described and the results obtained are presented and discussed.RésuméOn a utilisé une technique de photographie ultra-rapide (5000 images/s) pour étudier les méchanismes de déformation et d'eclatement de gouttes de fer liquide (5% carbone) par un jet d'oxygéme stationnaire de vitesse variable (Mach. 2 à 1.3). On a étudié l'effet de la grosseur des gouttelettes et de la vitesse du jet. On présente également une description du montage expérimental utilisé, ainsi qu'une discussion des résultats obtenus.
