采用介观格子Boltzmann方法模拟界面张力作用下三维流体界面的Rayleigh-Taylor (RT)不稳定性的增长过程,主要分析表面张力对流体界面动力学行为及尖钉和气泡后期增长的影响机制.首先发现三维RT不稳定性的发生存在临界表面张力(σ_c),其值随着流体Atwood数的增大而增大,且数值预测值与理论分析结果σ_c=(ρ_h-ρ₁)g/k~2一致.另外,随着表面张力的增大,不稳定性演化过程中界面卷吸程度和结构复杂性逐渐减弱,系统中界面破裂形成离散液滴的数目也显著减少.相界面的后期动力学行为也从非对称发展转向始终保持关于中轴线对称.尖钉与气泡振幅在表面张力较小时对其变化不显著,当表面张力增大到一定值后,可以有效地抑制尖钉与气泡振幅的增长.进一步发现,高雷诺数三维RT不稳定性在不同表面张力下均经历4个不同的发展阶段:线性阶段、饱和速度阶段、重加速和混沌混合阶段.尖钉与气泡在饱和速度阶段以近似恒定的速度增长,其渐进速度的值与修正的势流理论模型结果一致.受非线性Kelvin-Helmholtz旋涡的剪切作...

高雷诺数下非混相Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性的格子Boltzmann方法模拟

本文采用相场格子Boltzmann方法研究了竖直微通道内中等Atwoods数流体的单模Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性问题,系统分析了雷诺数对相界面动力学行为以及扰动在各发展阶段演化规律的影响.数值结果表明高雷诺数条件下,不稳定性界面扰动的增长经历了四个不同的发展阶段,包括线性增长阶段、饱和速度阶段、重加速阶段及混沌混合阶段.在线性增长阶段,我们计算获得的气泡与尖钉振幅符合线性稳定性理论,并且线性增长率随着雷诺数的增加而增大.在第二个阶段,我们观察到气泡与尖钉将以恒定的速度增长,获得的尖钉饱和速度略高于Goncharov经典势能模型的解析解[Phys.Rev.Lett.200288134502],这归因于系统中产生了多个尺度的旋涡,而涡之间的相互作用促进了尖钉的增长.随着横向速度和纵向速度的差异扩大,气泡和尖钉界面演化诱导产生的Kelvin–Helmholtz不稳定性逐渐增强,从而流体混合区域出现许多不同层次的涡结构,加速了气泡与尖钉振幅的演化速度,并在演化后期阶段,导致界面发生多层次卷起、剧烈变形、混沌破裂等行为,最终形成了非常复杂的拓扑结构.此外,我们还统计了演化后期气泡与尖钉的无量纲加速度,发现气泡和尖钉的振幅在后期呈现二次增长规律,其增长率系数分别为0.045与0.233.而在低雷诺条件下,重流体在不稳定性后期以尖钉的形式向下运动而轻流体以气泡的形式向上升起.在整个演化过程中,界面变得足够光滑,气泡与尖钉在后期的演化速度接近于常数,未观察到后期的重加速与混沌混合阶段.

表面张力对高雷诺数Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性后期增长的影响

采用多相流的相场格子Boltzmann方法数值研究了微通道内高雷诺数单模Rayleigh-Taylor (RT)不稳定性的后期演化规律,重点分析表面张力对相界面动力学行为以及气泡与尖钉增长的影响.数值实验表明,随着界面张力的增大,可以有效降低演化过程中相界面结构的复杂程度,并抑制不稳定性后期相界面破裂形成离散液滴.另外,增大表面张力可以先促进后抑制气泡振幅的增长,而当表面张力较小时,尖钉振幅增长曲线之间并无明显差别,当表面张力增大到一定值后,它对尖钉振幅的抑制效果可明显地被观察到.进一步,根据不稳定性速度增长曲线,将高雷诺数单模RT不稳定性的演化划分为线性增长、饱和速度增长、重加速、混沌混合四个发展阶段.数值计算获取气泡与尖钉的饱和速度符合包含界面张力效应的势流理论模型.另外还统计了不同表面张力和Atwood数下表征RT不稳定性后期演化的气泡与尖钉增长率,结果显示气泡与尖钉后期增长率随着表面张力的增大总体上呈现出先促进后抑制的规律.最后,从数值计算和理论分析两方面研究了不同Atwood数下RT不稳定性发生的临界表面张力,发现两者结果符合得很好,并且临界表面张力随着流体Atwood数的增大而增大.

Analytical model of nonlinear, single-mode, classical Rayleigh-Taylor instability at arbitrary Atwood numbers

An analytical model of the nonlinear bubble evolution of single-mode, classical Rayleigh-Taylor instability at arbitrary Atwood numbers (A(T)) is presented. The model is based on an extension of Layzer's theory [Astrophys. J. 122, 1 (1955)] previously applied only to the fluid-vacuum interfaces (A(T) = 1). The model provides a continuous bubble evolution from the earlier exponential growth to the nonlinear regime when the bubble velocity saturates at U(b) = square root of [2A(T)/(1+A(T)) (g/C(g)k)], where k is the perturbation wave number, g is the interface acceleration, and C(g) = 3 and C(g) = 1 for the two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometries, respectively.     

On generating initial conditions for turbulence models: the case of Rayleigh–Taylor instability turbulent mixing

A new approach to generate initial conditions for RANS simulations of Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) turbulence is presented. The strategy is to provide profiles of turbulent model variables when it is suitable for the turbulence model to be started, and then use these profiles for the turbulence model initialization. The generation of turbulence model variable profiles is achieved with a two-step process. In the first step, a nonlinear modal model assuming small amplitude initial perturbations, incompressible and inviscid fluids is used to track the growth of modes that exist in a given initial perturbation spectrum, and also modes generated by mode interactions. The amplitude development of each mode represents the penetration distance of the light fluid into the heavy fluid (bubble penetration), for a given mode perturbation. The penetration distance of heavy fluid into the light fluid (spike penetration), for a given mode perturbation, is inferred from the bubble's height by an empirical relation valid for small initial amplitudes, and established by DNS simulations that depend on a nondimensional time, and the density contrast (Atwood number). It is hypothesized that the bubble front position of the RT mixing layer can be approximated by the largest penetration distance among all existing modes. The spike front position is approximated in the same fashion. The nonlinear model is evaluated by comparing the bubble front height evolution predicted by the model against the bubble front height predicted by an incompressible implicit large eddy simulations (ILES) code. Comparisons of results for “top-hat” and two-band initial perturbation spectra at Atwood numbers, A_T =0.3 and A_T =0.5 for the former, and A_T =0.01 and A_T =0.5 for the latter, show reasonable agreement. In the second step, the bubble and spike front positions, their derived velocities, and simplified profiles of the mixture fraction distribution of each fluid between the bubble and spike fronts are used with a two-fluid approximation to derive profiles for the turbulence model variables. When initialized with modal model profiles at start time τ₀, (i.e., the time when the turbulence model variable profiles are inferred from the modal model results), the RANS simulations provide at all times τ>τ₀ profiles that show good agreement with ILES simulations. The procedure for determining the time at which the RANS model should be started is a representative use, other parameters can be used depending on the application. In this paper, for the purpose of demonstration of the full strategy, τ₀ is taken as the time at which the mixing layer growth rate parameter α has reached its asymptotic value in the corresponding ILES simulation.     

Statistical mechanics of two-dimensional shuffled foams: prediction of the correlation between geometry and topology

We propose an analytical model for the statistical mechanics of shuffled two-dimensional foams with moderate bubble size polydispersity. It predicts without any adjustable parameters the correlations between the number of sides n of the bubbles (topology) and their areas A (geometry) observed in experiments and numerical simulations of shuffled foams. Detailed statistics show that in shuffled cellular patterns n correlates better with √A (as claimed by Desch and Feltham) than with A (as claimed by Lewis and widely assumed in the literature). At the level of the whole foam, standard deviations Δn and ΔA are in proportion. Possible applications include correlations of the detailed distributions of n and A, three-dimensional foams, and biological tissues.     

A three-dimensional renormalization group bubble merger model for Rayleigh-Taylor mixing

In this paper we formulate a model for the merger of bubbles at the edge of an unstable acceleration driven (Rayleigh-Taylor) mixing layer. Steady acceleration defines a self-similar mixing process, with a time-dependent inverse cascade of structures of increasing size. The time evolution is itself a renormalization group (RNG) evolution, and so the large time asymptotics define a RNG fixed point. We solve the model introduced here at this fixed point. The model predicts the growth rate of a Rayleigh-Taylor chaotic fluid mixing layer. The model has three main components: the velocity of a single bubble in this unstable flow regime, an envelope velocity, which describes collective excitations in the mixing region, and a merger process, which drives an inverse cascade, with a steady increase of bubble size. The present model differs from an earlier two-dimensional (2-D) merger model in several important ways. Beyond the extension of the model to three dimensions, the present model contains one phenomenological parameter, the variance of the bubble radii at fixed time. The model also predicts several experimental numbers: the bubble mixing rate, alpha(b)=h(b)/Agt(2) approximately 0.05-0.06, the mean bubble radius, and the bubble height separation at the time of merger. From these we also obtain the bubble height to the radius aspect ratio. Using the experimental results of Smeeton and Youngs (AWE Report No. O 35/87, 1987) to fix a value for the radius variance, we determine alpha(b) within the range of experimental uncertainty. We also obtain the experimental values for the bubble height to width aspect ratio in agreement with experimental values. (c) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

Lattice Boltzmann study of three-dimensional immiscible Rayleigh–Taylor instability in turbulent mixing stage

In this paper, we numerically studied the late-time evolutional mechanism of three-dimensional (3D) single-mode immiscible Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) by using an improved lattice Boltzmann multiphase method implemented on graphics processing units. The influences of extensive dimensionless Reynolds numbers and Atwood numbers on phase interfacial dynamics, spike and bubble growth were investigated in details. The longtime numerical experiments indicate that the development of 3D singlemode RTI with a high Reynolds number can be summarized into four different stages: linear growth stage, saturated velocity growth stage, reacceleration stage and turbulent mixing stage. A series of complex interfacial structures with large topological changes can be observed at the turbulent mixing stage, which always preserve the symmetries with respect to the middle axis for a low Atwood number, and the lines of symmetry within spike and bubble are broken as the Atwood number is increased. Five statistical methods for computing the spike and bubble growth rates were then analyzed to reveal the growth law of 3D single-mode RTI in turbulent mixing stage. It is found that the spike late-time growth rate shows an overall increase with the Atwood number, while the bubble growth rate experiences a slight decrease with the Atwood number at first and then basically maintains a steady value of around 0.1. When the Reynolds number decreases, the later stages cannot be reached gradually and the evolution of phase interface presents a laminar flow state.
