| Abstract | The structures of aerated-liquid jets were explored using the X-ray phase contrast imaging (PCI) and X-ray radiography available at the Argonne National Laboratory. Water and nitrogen were used as the injectant and aerating gas, respectively. An axisymmetric aerated-liquid injector equipped with an exit adaptor was utilized for the investigation of external spray structures. A total of three adaptors with various internal configurations and a throat diameter of 1.0 mm were selected for testing. The major motivation of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the near-field structures of optically-dense aerated-liquid jets. In the peripheral region of aerated-liquid jets, the measurements from the X-ray PCI technique give both a qualitative understanding of microscopic structures, such the presence of small droplets, ligaments, and even bubbles, and also quantitative size distributions of the disintegrated small objects. The measurements from X-ray radiography provide quantitative liquid mass distribution profiles within the dense near-field region of an aerated-liquid jet. A combination of the two sets of measurements gives a more complete picture of the near-field structures of aerated-liquid jets. |
