Collection description
This work deals with the numerical and experimental investigation of unsteady plane liquid jets interacting with an external gaseous environment. Two flow configurations are analyzed: the gravitational liquid sheet (curtain) flow issuing into still air, and the planar air-water mixing layer developing past a splitter plate. The curtain flow is mainly investigated through theoretical and numerical methodologies, including volume-of-fluid simulations, linear stability analysis based on a simplified theoretical model, and data-driven modal decomposition techniques. Air-water mixing layers are characterized through time-resolved particle image velocimetry measurements, performed simultaneously in gas and liquid phases. As regards the major results, three flow regimes are distinguished in the curtain dynamics: supercritical, transcritical, and subcritical regimes (depending on the Weber number), each of them revealing different features and stability properties. In particular, a discontinuity of the flow natural frequency is found numerically and experimentally in transcritical conditions. The mixing layer configuration is characterized by the presence of a wake region just behind the splitter plate, which is strongly affected by both gas and liquid physical parameters. The flow dynamics exhibits a rich variety of unsteady behaviours, including global mode oscillations at high gas Reynolds numbers and air-water dynamic pressure ratios.
