Fragmentation of a molten metal droplet in an ambient water flow

The influence of an ambient fluid flow on the fragmentation of hot molten tin droplets (initially at 800°C) and cold low melting point alloy droplets (initially at 70°C) in water is investigated with high-speed photography and flash radiography. The water is accelerated using a converging nozzle to...
