Physics of liquid jets
Jens Eggers,Emmanuel Villermaux +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the fundamental and technological aspects of these subjects can be found in this article, where the focus is mainly on surface tension effects, which result from the cohesive properties of liquids Paradoxically, cohesive forces promote the breakup of jets, widely encountered in nature, technology and basic science.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Infotaxis" as a strategy for searching without gradients
TL;DR: The proposed search algorithm is relevant to the design of olfactory robots, but the general idea of infotaxis can be applied more broadly in the context of searching with sparse information.
Journal ArticleDOI
On spray formation
TL;DR: In this paper, the successive steps of atomization of a liquid jet when a fast gas stream blows parallel to its surface are depicted and analyzed, showing that the liquid destabilization proceeds from a two-stage mechanism: a shear instability first forms waves on the liquid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-drop fragmentation determines size distribution of raindrops
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the raindrops' polydispersity, generically represented according to Marshall-Palmer's law (1948), is quantitatively understood from the fragmentation products of non-interacting, isolated drops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Break-up and atomization of a round water jet by a high-speed annular air jet
TL;DR: In this article, an entrainment model of the stripping of water sheets, or ligaments, which subsequently break into smaller lumps or drops is proposed, and shown to describe the measured liquid shedding frequencies.
