In order to provide the experimental data for validation and improvement of the sodium-water reaction analysis code, a visualization experiment on liquid droplet entrainment in a high-pressure air jet submerged in a water pool was carried out. Diameter and velocity of the entrained liquid droplets were successfully measured at different locations in the jet. This experiment indicated the possibility that the fluctuation of the jet boundary affects diameter, velocity, and generation rate of the liquid droplets.
