| Abstract: | An experimental investigation was made of the flow of electrically charged aerosols with solid or liquid disperse phase past bodies. Air flows with solid particles (sand, iron) and water drops were produced by special apparatus. The regimes in which the disperse particles and the bodies were charged or neutral were studied. A system of dimensionless numbers and their values are indicated for the different gas-dynamic and electric flow regimes. The main features of the flows are explained and the integrated electric characteristics of the bodies determined. The possibility of controlling the flow of a disperse medium by means of electric fields is demonstrated. It is shown that the inductive charging of liquid films near sharp edges of a body has a strong influence on the electric characteristics of the body (when air with water drops flows past it).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 71–79, July–August, 1982. |
