Experimental study on temperature effecton deformation and drag characteristics of supercooled large droplet

In order to explore the influence of temperature on the dynamic characteristics of the supercooled large droplet (SLD),SLD dynamics experiments were conducted in room tem-perature and low-temperature environments.Studies have shown that:when a supercooled large droplet is moving in a rapidly accelerated stream,the changing history of the drop’s deformation characteristics and drag characteristics with the variation of the We number can be divided into three stages:fluctuation stage,step stage and smooth stage,and it is subj ected to the influence of the low-temperature environment.The deformation rate and drag coefficient of the droplet with the same We number decrease with decreasing temperature.In the fluctuation phase,tem-perature has the largest influence on SLD dynamic characteristics,but the temperature effect weakens in the step and smooth stage.
