Ultrasonic Atomization—From Onset of Protruding Free Surface to Emanating Beads Fountain—Leading to Mist Spreading by Katsumi Tsuchiya, Xiaolu Wang

“…High-speed, high-resolution imaging made it possible to qualitatively identify <i>four</i> representative transitions/demarcations: (1) the <i>onset</i> of a protrusion on otherwise flat free surface; (2) the <i>appearance</i> of undulation along the growing protuberance; (3) the <i>triggering</i> of emanating beads fountain out of this foundation-like region; and (4) the <i>induction</i> of droplets bursting and/or mist spreading. Quantitatively examined were the two-parameters specifications—on the degrees as well as induction—of the periodicity in the protrusion-surface and beads-fountain oscillations, detected over wider ranges of driving/excitation frequency (0.43–3.0 MHz) and input power density (0.5–10 W/<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mrow><mi mathvariant="normal">c</mi><mi mathvariant="normal">m</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) applied to the ultrasound transducer of flat surface on which the nozzle was either mounted or not. …”
