T study of a liquid jet injected normal to a supersonic gas crossflow is one of significant practical import and stimulating theoretical interest. There has been, however, a relative scarcity of experimental data pertaining to many details of the process, particularly the primary decomposition mechanism. The immediate stimulus and sources of the initial direction for this study were the experiments of Sherman and Schetz, wherein the presence on the jet of large axial waves, which appeared to create the dominant means of jet decomposition by gross detachment of large masses, was noted.
Kush et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
