Abstract

In various industries, effective removal systems are essential for detecting and eliminating surface contamination. We report an experimental study to quantify the characteristics of impinging supersonic/sonic jet flows pertinent to contamination removal over solid surfaces. The research explores different heights and nozzle types of impinging supersonic/sonic jets to understand how the impinging jets interact with the solid surfaces. Schlieren imaging and particle image velocimetry (PIV) are employed to analyze the characteristics of the impinging supersonic jet flows. The experiment results suggest that supersonic jets are more efficient compared to their subsonic counterparts in removing contamination from solid surfaces.
