Particles and Droplets at High Speeds and Cryogenic Temperatures: “Far Out Applications of Aerosol Science”
Aerosols, particles and droplets suspended in gases, exhibit behaviors that have no analogue in bulk solids and liquids. This talk will focus on how these behaviors manifest under extreme conditions, and how they can be exploited. First, solid particles can be accelerated to supersonic (Ma > 1) and even hypersonic (Ma > 5) velocities. Using converging–diverging nozzles, we accelerate particles to
