| Abstract | A liquid jet is emitted from a submerged plane nozzle in a
direction normal to the interface created by a heavier immiscible
liquid. The impinging liquid jet deforms the interface, creating
a cavity of a certain shape and size.
The aim of the present study has been to relate the size of
the cavity to the various jet parameters and liquid properties.
The cavity depth, width and lip height were measured. A water
jet impinging on carbon tetrachloride, and an oil jet impinging
on water were studied.
The experimental data were analyzed in terms of analytical
models and the results were quite consistent with these models. - However, some discrepancy was observed between the water-carbon
tetrachloride tests and the oil-water tests. Furthermore, the
liquid-liquid experiments carried out in the present study gave
results which were somewhat different from results obtained in
previous tests using an air jet impinging on water. It is believed that viscosity and surface tension effects are responsible
for these discrepancies.
Nevertheless, the results of this investigation enable one to
determine the cavity depth, cavity width and lip height with a fair
degree of accuracy. Such results may prove useful in connection
with the phenomenon of scouring of erodible material by liquid jets. |
