| Abstract: | Some results of an experimental investigation into the deformation and atomization of drops of liquid at low Reynolds numbers are presented; these were obtained in a specially constructed apparatus in which a low-pressure flow of helium was used in order to reduce the Reynolds numbers. The values of the critical Weber numbers in a state of static deformation were equal to 15–22, in fair agreement with theory.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 182–186, March–April, 1971. |
