Abstract
The dynamic characteristics of the stable formation of a single droplet in a gas-liquid co-flow device are studied experimentally. The scaling laws of the dimensionless necking radius R of a droplet with dimensionless remaining time τ for different parameters are analyzed, and the reasons for the transformation between these scaling laws are discussed. The results show that the change in the main pressure has little effect on the scaling law. In the earlier necking, R follows a 1/5 power law with respect to τ. In the later collapse, a 2/3 power law is matched. When the auxiliary pressure changes, the pneumatic shear force has a large impact on the earlier necking, causing the scaling law to change, but only a slight effect on the later collapse. Simultaneously, the droplet size and jet limit length decrease significantly with an increase in auxiliary pressure. The results are of great significance for revealing the mechanism of droplet formation and reducing droplet formation size in gas-liquid co-flow devices and provide a theoretical reference for further study of stable droplet formation.
