The invention discloses a device and a method for measuring
liquid jet on an outermost boundary. The device comprises a computer, a camera, a test section and a
laser generator, jets are injected in the test section,
laser sheet-light emitted by the
laser generator irradiates on jet droplets, a focal plane of the camera, the laser sheet-light and an observing plane are on a same plane, the camera is used for shooting droplets in a
laser plane, a camera shooting face and a laser sheet-light incident plane are transparent, the measuring device is disposed in a
darkroom environment, and the computer collects shot images and binarize the images to obtain a jet boundary figure and calculates physical boundary distance information of the jet boundary figure. The method includes: A, demarcating the measuring device; B, utilizing the camera to
shoot the droplets, and obtaining image results; C, converting the image results into a
grayscale map, and extracting a boundary; and D, calculating the physical distance information of the jet boundary. By the device and the method for measuring
liquid jet on the outermost boundary, quantitative information of the droplets, formed after the liquid jets are crushed, on the outermost boundary in a whole flow field observing plane, can be obtained.
