Secondary atomization of a liquid droplet can be achieved by subjecting it to a high-speed
gas stream. This is referred as the aerodynamic breakup, and is encountered in various …

This work investigates the breakup of liquid metal droplets experimentally using a shock
tube. Droplets of Field's metal melt are produced and their flow-induced deformation and …

The present study uses Galinstan as a test fluid to investigate the shock-induced atomisation
of a liquid metal droplet in a high-Weber-number regime. Atomisation dynamics is examined …

For producing fine metal powders, the critical step is ligament dynamics of molten metal,
while the thinning and breakup processes subjected to the interfacial heat and mass transfer …

We present a theoretical framework for capturing the coalescence of a pendant drop with a
sessile drop in polymeric fluids. The framework is based on the unification of various …

Deformation until the beginning of disintegration (ie, the first rupture time) is the first stage of
a droplet's secondary breakup in a gas stream. Experiments were performed to examine the …

The growing demand for high-quality metal powders as the raw product for metal additive
manufacturing requires a better understanding of the physics involved in their production by …

We experimentally investigate the morphology and breakup of a droplet as it descends
freely from a height and encounters an airstream. The size distributions of the child droplets …

The deformation and breakup of metallic droplets during gas atomization were simulated
using a volume of fluid (VOF) approach that considered droplet cooling and solidification …

Metal-based droplet deposition technique is a promising method for obtaining 3D circuits
and micro-sized conductive structures. Practically, direct part manufacturing can be …
