滴状凝结全过程液滴尺寸分布数值模拟

研究液滴在冷凝表面的尺寸分布特征,不仅有助于了解冷凝表面换热机理,同时也为疏水表面的设计提供参考依据。本研究中,借助于液滴生长、合并和脱落全过程的数值模拟方法,研究液滴凝结核密度和液滴脱落尺寸对液滴尺寸分布的影响。模拟中采用热阻模型对液滴生长进行描述,利用链表搜索算法加速液滴聚合及新凝结核确定的搜索过程,再现大液滴脱落和表面清扫过程。模拟结果与实验结果及理论模型吻合良好。模拟结果表明,随着凝结核密度增大,小液滴数密度相对增加,液滴平均半径减少;随着液滴脱离半径减小,液滴尺寸范围减小,液滴尺寸分布整体升高。

研究了低压条件对滴状冷凝过程液滴生长特性的影响。首先,研究了超疏水表面上空气环境和蒸汽环境中附着液滴的接触角,发现蒸汽环境中的接触角比空气环境中的小,而蒸汽压力对接触角没有显著影响。第二,实验研究了冷凝过程中的液滴的生长周期和脱落尺寸,液滴的脱落半径随压力的降低而增大,生长周期也随之延长。第三,实验研究了液滴合并生长速率,并结合理论分析直接冷凝长大的生长速率,直接冷凝生长速率随压力的减小而减小,并随过冷度的减小而下降,而实验范围内合并生长速率不受压力影响。第四,根据滴状冷凝液滴分布的时间序列模型,分析了不同压力下液滴生长的临界尺寸,随着压力的降低,液滴生长方式的临界尺寸增大。

The exciton model is applied to a multi-nucleon emission process after fusion caused by heavy-ion collisions.

The equilibration process is discussed, and the results are compared with those of the equilibrium statistical theory and experimental data.     

Photon Doppler Velocimetry and Simulation of Ejection of Particles from the Surface of Shock-Loaded Samples

The results of photon Doppler velocimetry of ejecta from shock-loaded metal samples are reported. The experiments have been performed with tin and lead samples of a given thickness and a given surface roughness. The direct numerical simulation of the process of mass ejection from the surface of shock-loaded samples is performed for conditions close to experimental by the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method. The areal density and initial velocity distribution of the volume density of ejecta are determined. Using these results, we calculate the time dependence of the profile of the volume density at the expansion of the formed dust cloud to air. Applying an approach based on the transport equation for the correlation function of the scattered field, the main parameters of the velocity distribution of ejecta, areal density of ejecta, etc. are reconstructed from spectral photon Doppler velocimetry data. The experimentally observed temporal dynamics of spectra, which is caused by the drag of dust in air, is described at an appropriately chosen size dispersion of dust particles. The masses of ejecta reconstructed from experimental data are in agreement with the smoothed particle hydrodynamics results.     

A Predictive Model for the Initial Droplet Size and Velocity Distributions in Sprays and Comparison with Experiments

The distribution of sizes and velocities of droplets initially formed in sprays is an important piece of information needed in the spray modelling, because it defines the initial condition of the spray droplets in the predictive calculations of the downstream two‐phase flow fields. A predictive model for the initial droplet size and velocity distributions in sprays is formulated in this study. The present model incorporates both the deterministic and the stochastic aspect of spray formation process. The deterministic aspect takes into account of the unstable wave motion before the liquid bulk breakup through the linear and nonlinear instability analysis, which provides information for the liquid bulk breakup length, the mass‐mean diameter and a prior distribution for the droplet sizes corresponding to the unstable wave growth of various wavelengths. The stochastic aspect deals with the final stage of droplet formation after the liquid bulk breakup by statistical means through the maximum entropy principle based on Bayesian entropy. The two sub‐models are coupled together by the various source terms signifying the liquid‐gas interaction, the mass mean diameter and the prior distribution based on the instability analysis. The initial droplet size and velocity distributions are measured experimentally by phase‐Doppler interferometry for sprays generated by a planar research nozzle and a practical gas turbine airblast nozzle. For the two nozzles, the liquid bulk sheet is formed before its breakup in a coflowing air stream. It is found that the model predictions are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data for all the cases measured. Hence the present model may be applied to a variety of practical sprays to specify the initial conditions for the spray droplets formed in practical spray systems.     

Comparison of experiments and computations for cold gas spraying through a mask. Part 2

This paper presents experimental and simulation results of cold spray coating deposition using the mask placed above the plane substrate at different distances. Velocities of aluminum (mean size ~ 30 μm) and copper (mean size ~ 60 μm) particles in the vicinity of the mask are determined. It was found that particle velocities have angular distribution in flow with a representative standard deviation of 1.5–2 degrees. Modeling of coating formation behind the mask with account for this distribution was developed. The results of model agree with experimental data confirming the importance of particle angular distribution for coating deposition process in the masked area.     

对风沙输运中起跳沙粒运动状态分布的讨论

本文用Lagrange方法结合起跳沙粒初始运动状态分布模拟了稳态风沙输运过程。根据已有的对地表沙粒撞击起跳现象的研究成果,列出四种典型的沙粒起跳初始运动状态分布形式。将在各分布形式下模拟得到的宏观量与风洞实验测量得到的宏观量的变化规律相比较,通过考察依据各分布形式所作数值模拟得到的风沙宏观运动的特征量与实验测量结果的一致程度,得到了其中较合理的分布形式。分析表明稳定风沙输运中起跳沙粒的初始速度和角度的分布曲线均应为一单调下降曲线,根据实验数据本文构造出由指数分布和正态分布组成的分段函数形式来描述这一曲线。并通过进一步的实验验证了这一分布形式的合理性。     

Dynamical scaling in branching models for seismicity

We propose a branching process based on a dynamical scaling hypothesis relating time and mass. In the context of earthquake occurrence, we show that experimental power laws in size and time distribution naturally originate solely from this scaling hypothesis. We present a numerical protocol able to generate a synthetic catalog with an arbitrary large number of events. The numerical data reproduce the hierarchical organization in time and magnitude of experimental interevent time distribution.     

Analysis on plasma chemistry and particle growth in corona discharge process for NO/sub x/ removal using discrete-sectional method

The particle formation and growth combined with plasma chemistry in the pulsed corona discharge process (PCDP) to remove NO/sub x/ were analyzed by the discrete-sectional model. In the PCDP, most of the NO is converted into NO/sub 2/ and, later, into HNO/sub 3/ which reacts with NH/sub 3/ to form the NH/sub 4/NO/sub 3/ particle. In the beginning of the reactor, we have the high concentration of small size particles and, later, the particle size distribution in the reactor becomes bimodal with the large size and small size particles and, finally, becomes monodisperse with the large size particles. As the average electron concentration increases, it takes a shorter reactor length to remove the NO/sub x/. As the initial NO and H/sub 2/O concentrations decrease, the NH/sub 3/ is consumed more slowly to form the ammonium nitrates particles. As the averaged electron concentration and initial H/sub 2/O concentration increase, the large size particles grow more quickly and the particle size distribution becomes bimodal earlier. As the initial NO and NH/sub 3/ concentrations increase, the diameter of large size particles becomes larger by the faster coagulation between particles. The predicted NO/sub x/ conversion and particle size distribution were in close agreements with the published experimental results at the averaged electron concentration of 2/spl times/10/sup 5/ cm/sup -3/ in this study.     

Experimental determination of superheated liquids boiling-up expectancy time probabilities distribution

Results of statistical measurement of n-pentane and n-hexane boiling-up expectancy time near the boundary of attainable superheating are presented. Experiments were carried out in glass capillaries with various volumes of superheated liquid. Several samples with the volume from 100 to 200 measurements of life time for preset metastable state have been obtained (p, T = const). Their histograms contain small empty initial section, maximum and long “tail” in the area of large times. Non-monotonous dependence of probability distribution density on time proves non-stationary character of the random process resulting in the production of supercritical embryo. Two simple approximations of non-stationary nucleation flow well describing experimental data have been considered. For exponential distribution, the probabilities of experimentally found peculiarities of boiling-up expectancy time distribution density have been evaluated; they prove incompatibility of this distribution with the experimental one.
