Abstract
Herein, planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) is used in combination with shadowgraphy to study water-droplet aerobreakup. The acquired shadowgraph data are in agreement with previous visualization studies but differ from the PLIF results, yielding new insights into the fragmentation process. In particular, the PLIF data reveal changes in droplet topology during fragmentation that result from the entrapment or formation of gas cavities inside the liquid phase. In some instances, topological modification can be observed to arise from the presence of these cavities. In addition, the cavities may act as weak spots, facilitating droplet split-off.
