title = "Investigation of Water Droplet Breakup in a Shock Environment with High-Speed Imaging",
abstract = "The deformation and breakup of water droplets impacted by a shock wave have been largely attributed to mechanisms related to surface tension. This study investigates the possibility of cavitation-induced droplet breakup utilizing shadowgraph imagery and varying water concentrations. Shock waves of Mach 2.8-3.0 are used in this study to impact groups of droplets of different concentrations: deionized, degassed deionized, and doped, degassed deionized water. Water droplets on the order of 1-3 mm in diameter are introduced into the shock tube. High-speed images are used to explore the existence of cavitation in the droplets, as well as how they deform comparatively.",
