Abstract

Shadowgraphs, tube-source X-ray radiographs, and synchrotron X-ray radiographs from a coaxial two-fluid spray are analyzed to measure the liquid core length of the spray. Two flow conditions: Rel = 1,100, Reg = 21,300, We = 40, and Rel = 1,100, Reg = 46,700, We = 196 are investigated. The standard deviation of the fluctuating intensity values are calculated and analyzed to estimate the liquid core length. Additionally, the largest connected domain is used to find an instantaneous breakup position of the spray. The results show that the high standard deviation region is related to the ligament development region, and the instantaneous position identifies ligament formation in the spray.
