Abstract
In the present paper the impact of strong incident shock waves on monodisperse droplet streams is investigated in a shock tube. The droplets are produced with a vibrating-orifice droplet generator, With a new injection technique the monodisperse droplet streams are introduced into the test section of the shock tube. Droplet diameters range from 50 to 200 /µm, Weber numbers from 100 to 15000 and Reynolds numbers from 50 to 15000. Droplet spacing is adjustable between one and three droplet diameters. Shock Mach numbers can be varied between M s = 2 and M s = 6.
