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 …

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 …

Gallium-based liquid metals (GBLMs) have both high fluidity and electrical conductivity and
have recently raised great hopes with the promise of realizing soft electronics. By soft …

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 accurate sedimentation of metal droplets is of great importance in metal droplet-based
three-dimensional printing. Detailed investigations of the process of metal droplet collision in …

Molten metal droplet impingement and subsequent solidification phenomena in both inert
and non-inert gas environment exist widely in various industrial applications. Exposing a …

Boger fluids are viscoelastic liquids having constant viscosity for a broad range of shear
rates. They are commonly used to separate the effects of liquid elasticity from viscosity in any …

The influence of an ambient fluid flow on the fragmentation of hot molten tin droplets (initially
at 800° C) and cold low melting point alloy droplets (initially at 70° C) in water is investigated …

The three publications presented in this thesis are based on multiphase experiments that
were conducted with the shock tube facility at AER at TUM. The first publication investigates …
