Identification and Mapping of Three Distinct Breakup Morphologies in the Turbulent Inertial Regime of Emulsification—Effect of Weber Number and Viscosity Ratio
Turbulent emulsification is an important unit operation in chemical engineering. Due to its high energy cost, there is substantial interest in increasing the fundamental understanding of drop breakup in these devices, e.g., for optimization. In this study, numerical breakup experiments are used to study turbulent fragmentation of viscous drops, under conditions similar to emulsification devices su
