Analysis of liquid sheet flowing under gravity

In the framework of an informal cooperation with Y. Le Guer and K. El Omari who are supervising the PhD thesis of A. Kacem, we have been involved in the experimental and the numerical study of liquid sheets falling under gravity [14]. The various flow regimes have been characterized in terms of the relevant dimensionless numbers (Weber, Reynolds, Ohnesorge) with a particular emphazis on the regimes leading to the appearance fo holes within the liquid sheet. A journal paper has been submitted mid-2017 and is presently under revision.
