A peculiar behaviour of liquid jet impact

Coalescent masses of fluid, formed upon liquid jet impact, should exhibit either dripping or jetting regardless of the distance between the nozzles. The study reveals that above a certain flow rate, by increasing this distance, the coalescent mass enters a dripping state, when only a jetting regime...

Description
Summary:Coalescent masses of fluid, formed upon liquid jet impact, should exhibit either dripping or jetting regardless of the distance between the nozzles. The study reveals that above a certain flow rate, by increasing this distance, the coalescent mass enters a dripping state, when only a jetting regime is previously present. This is followed again by a jetting regime before breakup which occurs at a critical distance. The upper limit of this dripping state is achieved when Bond number is equal to unity, this result being valid below a certain critical Reynolds number.
