Abstract
An experimental investigation into the effect of surrounding air pressure on liquid jet impingement on a moving substrate was performed. The study was carried out with Newtonian liquids impacting dry substrates. A variety of jet speeds, substrate speeds, and liquid viscosities were studied. It was observed that, as is the case for Newtonian droplet impact, the surrounding air pressure plays a crucial role in the splashing behaviour of jet impingement. There exists a threshold pressure below which splash does not occur. It is proposed that for certain impingement conditions lamella detachment from the substrate occurs due to aerodynamic forces acting on the leading edge of the lamella, which destabilizes the balance between surface tension and fluid pressure forces.
