    Notes: Improvements to an existing piezoelectric droplet generator are reported. This instrument produces monosize droplets from the periodic breakup of a liquid jet. Droplets tend to be closely spaced because of the method of generation, so increased separation is obtained by selectively charging and deflecting some of the droplets from the main stream to a drain. A phase-shifting circuit is used to synchronize the charging signal with droplet formation so that droplets are properly charged or discharged, as required. Originally, charge synchronization was obtained by controlling the amplitude of the piezoelectric transducer voltage and thus, altering the breakup length of the jet which was observed to lead to the production of satellite droplets or loss of control at large amplitudes. The present circuit avoids these problems.

    A piezoelectric droplet generator for use in wind tunnels (1991)

    Notes: This article describes a compact piezoelectric droplet generator. A unique feature of this instrument is the small size of its nozzle assembly which includes a cylindrical piezoelectric ceramic transducer, an interchangeable orifice, a charging ring, and deflection plates. The nozzle assembly is housed in an acrylic tube, 19 mm in outside diameter and 150 mm in length, which can be placed inside a wind tunnel without causing a significant blockage. The main mechanical components consist of a pressurized system which discharges liquid through the orifice to create a free liquid jet in the nozzle assembly. The transducer causes this jet to break up into uniform droplets by exciting the instability mechanism of symmetric varicose deformations. Droplets tend to be closely spaced because of this method of generation so increased separation is obtained by selectively charging and deflecting some of the droplets from the main stream to a drain. One droplet out of 1–9999 droplets can be selected to exit from the nozzle assembly. The electronic circuitry consists of a transducer driver, and circuits for charging and deflecting the droplets. Power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors are used in an H bridge and a push-pull configuration to provide rapid operation of the transducer-driver and droplet-charging circuitry. A transient analysis is performed to obtain the gain factor between the applied voltage and the corresponding flow modulation of the liquid jet. This analysis provides operating characteristics of the transducer and may be used to calculate the breakup length of the jet for a typical applied voltage. Uniform droplets can be produced reliably with this instrument over a large range of size and speed. For the current research application, involving droplet drag in turbulent flows, droplets with diameters from 150 to 1000 μm are required at speeds from 3 to 20 m/s. For other studies, the range of size can be changed by using different orifices.

    Notes: Abstract An experimental investigation of heated vertical and inclined plane air jets discharged into quiescent surroundings is described. A unique feature of this data is that Pilot tube measurements were used to define the mean trajectory of the inclined jets so that subsequent hot-wire traverses could be made normal to the curved path. While the mean velocity and temperature profiles are self-similar for the range of exit conditions studied, other aspects of the mean jet development depend on the exit Reynolds and Froude numbers, or the discharge angle. It is noted that variations between this study and other published data suggest further measurements of this flow situation are needed, with particular attention to specific features of the jet apparatus and ambient surroundings, and to the exit Reynolds number.

    Notes: Abstract The drag coefficient of non-evaporating, spherical, liquid droplets in quiescent gaseous fields is measured using a novel experimental methodology at Reynolds numbers from 20 to 120. The experimental uncertainties are typically less than 8 percent, and the results are on average within 6 percent of the drag coefficient of liquid and rigid spheres, based on an accepted relationship. The methodology described in this article is therefore validated so it can be extended with confidence to measurements in turbulent gaseous fields.

    Notes: Abstract The drag of non-evaporating, spherical, liquid droplets was measured in turbulent flow fields at parametric ranges relevant to spray combustion, characterized by the droplet Reynolds number, and the intensity and spatial scales of turbulence. The experimental apparatus comprised a wind-tunnel and a piezo-electric droplet generator. The procedure was to inject water droplets of uniform size co-currently and continuously with vertical turbulent air flows while droplet velocity was measured at different elevations using laser-Doppler velocimetry. Turbulence was characterized using hot-wire anemometry prior to droplet injection. Drag coefficients were calculated using these main measurements and the law of conservation of mechanical energy. Reynolds numbers were investigated in the range 10–100, in terms of the equivalent spherical diameter of a droplet, and the mean relative speed between the ambient gaseous field and the droplets. Weber numbers were much less than unity so droplets were effectively spherical. Relative intensities of turbulence were investigated in the range 20–65 percent, in terms of the mean relative speed. Spatial scales of turbulence were large in comparison to the droplets; the ratio between the spatial integral scale and the droplet diameter was in the range 11–38, and the Kolmogorov scale was comparable in size or smaller than the droplet diameter. Experimental data showed that the drag in turbulent fields under these conditions is not significantly different than that of solid spheres in a quiescent field at the same Reynolds number.

    Notes: Abstract An experimental investigation of the turbulence structure of a heated plane air jet discharged at various angles into quiescent surroundings is described. Hot-wire anemometry was used to obtain the profiles of mean and turbulent velocities and temperature normal and tangential to the curved path of the flow. Measurements in the buoyancy induced curved region of the jet show the relative influence of the stability induced by both buoyancy and jet curvature on the turbulence structure.

    Notes: Predictions are reported for two-dimensional, steady, incompressible flows over rearward-facing steps for both laminar and turbulent conditions. The standard k-∊ turbulence model was used for the turbulent flow. Attention was focused on obtaining accurate solutions to the differential equations. It is concluded that some of the serious discrepancies that have occurred between prediction and observation, and attributed in earlier studies to the inadequacy of the turbulence model, may have been due to the inaccuracy of the solution.

    Notes: Using a flow cell design which ensures fully developed laminar flow, the influence of various hydrodynamic and physical factors in determining the extent of erythrocyte adhesion to various polymer surfaces has been examined. Specifically we have investigated the effect of exposure time, flow rate, erythrocyte concentration, and substrate surface tension on the extent of erythrocyte adhesion. The results indicate: (1) the extent of erythrocyte adhesion is most extensive on the more hydrophobic surfaces; (2) the rate of adhesion is higher on the more hydrophobic surfaces; (3) saturation coverage occurs after 7-10 min of exposure to the erythrocyte suspension for all substrates examined. No „lag-time“ in the onset of adhesion was observed; (4) The level of saturation depends on the bulk erythrocyte concentration, increasing with increasing cell concentration; (5) the extent of adhesion decreases with an increase in flow rate; and (6) substrate surface defects such as roughness have a major effect on the pattern of erythrocyte adhesion.

    Notes: An exact discrete numerical solution to the Grabowski model for predicting cell adhesion to polymer surfaces is discussed. The solution technique allows the possibility of taking into account cell-cell interactions within the flow situation and the multistep process involved in thrombus formation. The proposed solution also allows modification of the wall reaction rate model into a two specie reaction rate which distinguishes between the kinetics of contact adhesion and irreversible adhesion. The solution allows determination of effective diffusivity (De) and surface reaction rate (k) constants. Use of the model to examine available experimental data results in the following conclusions: (1) static or dynamic cell adhesion cannot be considered to be diffusion limited; (2) for flow conditions De is a monotonically increasing function of shear rate; (3) under static, i. e., zero flow conditions, De appears to be markedly larger than for flow conditions.
