双自由面溶质?热毛细液层的不稳定性

溶质?热毛细对流是流体界面的浓度和温度分布不均导致的表面张力梯度驱动的流动, 它主要存在于空间微重力环境、小尺度流动等表面张力占主导的情况中, 例如晶体生长、微流控、合金浇筑凝固、有机薄液膜生长等. 对其流动进行稳定性分析具有重要意义. 本文采用线性稳定性理论研究了双自由面溶质?热毛细液层对流的不稳定性, 得到了两种负毛细力比(η)下的临界Marangoni数与Prandtl数(Pr)的函数关系, 并分析了临界模态的流场和能量机制. 研究发现: 溶质?热毛细对流和纯热毛细对流的临界模态有较大的差别, 前者是同向流向波、逆向流向波、展向稳态模态和逆向斜波, 后者是逆向斜波和逆向流向波. 在Pr较大时, Pr增加会降低流动稳定性; 在其他参数下, Pr增加会增强流动稳定性. 在中低Pr, 溶质毛细力使流动更加不稳定; 在大Pr时, 溶质毛细力的出现可能使流动更加稳定; 在其他参数下, 溶质毛细力会减弱流动稳定性. 流动稳定性不随η单调变化. 在多数情况下, 扰动浓度场与扰动温度场都是相似的. 能量分析表明: 扰动动能的主要能量来源是表面张力做功, 但其中溶质毛细力和热毛细力做功的正负性与参数有关.

Direct numerical simulation of thermocapillary flow based on the Volume of Fluid method

A numerical method for direct simulation of thermal Marangoni effects at dynamically deformable interface of two-phase incompressible fluids is developed. The approach is based on the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method with special focus on the numerical treatment of the temperature surface gradient because of its decisive role as the driving force of the flow. The surface gradient calculation is split into computing its length and direction in order to satisfy the correct thermal boundary condition at the interface without losing mobility of the interface. The method is applied to three different types of thermocapillary flow, namely thermocapillary migration of a droplet in an ambient fluid with linear temperature gradient, thermocapillary convection in a liquid layer under linear temperature gradient along the interface, and Marangoni convection due to Bénard–Marangoni instability. In the first case, different aspects of the dynamics of the migration are considered for validation such as the terminal migration velocity, the initial acceleration and quantification of the wall effects. The simulation also considers high convective heat transfer and covers a wide range of Marangoni numbers up to 5000, where good agreement with both theoretical and experimental results is achieved. In the second case, the convection velocity in the liquid layer is compared with an analytical result. In the final application, pattern formation due to the Bénard–Marangoni instability in a liquid layer in square geometry of small aspect ratio is investigated for realistic Biot number and dynamically deformable fluid interface. The results show good agreement with experiments from literature, where our numerical simulation also predicts cell pattern for a particular aspect ratio which is outside the limitation of the above cited experimental work.     

界面张力梯度驱动对流向湍流转捩的研究

Effect of vertical heat transfer on thermocapillary convection in an open shallow rectangular cavity

In order to understand the effect of the vertical heat transfer on thermocapillary convection characteristics in a differentially heated open shallow rectangular cavity, a series of two- and three-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out by means of the finite volume method. The cavity was filled with the 1cSt silicone oil (Prandtl number Pr = 13.9) and the aspect ratio ranged from 12 to 30. Results show that thermocapillary convection is stable at a small Marangoni number. With the increase of the heat flux on the bottom surface, thermocapillary convection transits to the asymmetrical bi-cellular pattern with the opposite rotation direction. The roll near the hot wall shrinks as the Marangoni number increases. At a large Marangoni number, numerical simulations predict two types of the oscillatory thermocapillary flow. One is the hydrothermal wave, which is dominant only in a thin cavity. The other appears in a deeper cavity and is characterized by oscillating multi-cellular flow. The critical Marangoni number for the onset of the oscillatory flow increases first and then decreases with the increase of the vertical heat flux. The three-dimensional numerical simulation can predict the propagating direction of the hydrothermal wave. The velocity and temperature fields obtained by three-dimensional simulation in the meridian plane are very close to those obtained by two-dimensional simulation.

Numerical and experimental study of the heat transfer and fluid flow by thermocapillary convection around gas bubbles

 At liquid–gas or liquid–liquid interfaces thermocapillary or Marangoni convection develops in the presence of a temperature or concentration gradient along the interface. This convection was not paid much attention up to now, because under terrestrial conditions it is superimposed by the strong buoyancy convection. In a microgravity environment, however, it is the remaining mode of natural convection. During boiling in microgravity it was observed at subcooled conditions. Therefore the question arises about its contribution to the heat transfer. Thus the thermocapillary convection was intensively studied at single gas bubbles in various liquids both experimentally and numerically. Inside a temperature gradient chamber, the overall heat transfer around single bubbles of different volume was measured with calorimetry and the liquid flow with PIV and LDV. In parallel to the experiment, a 2-dimensional mathematical model was worked out and the coupled heat transfer and fluid flow was simulated with a CV-FEM method both under earth gravity level and under microgravity. The results are described in terms of the dimensionless Nusselt-, Peclet-, Marangoni-, Bond- and Prandtl-number. Received on 23 August 1999     

Influence of rotating magnetic field strength on three-dimensional thermocapillary flow in a floating half-zone model

The effects of rotating magnetic field (RMF) on the three-dimensional thermocapillary flow of semiconductor melt (Pr?=?0.01) in a floating half-zone model under microgravity are investigated numerically by the finite volume method. The results indicate that the thermocapillary flow without magnetic field is a steady three-dimensional convection for Ma?=?40 in a floating half-zone model with As?=?1, and the convection evolves to an oscillatory three-dimensional flow by applying 1–6?mT RMF with 50?Hz rotating frequency. Based on the fast Fourier transform spectrum, the convection is confirmed to be a periodically oscillating flow, the oscillatory main frequency, 1.59?×?10^?3?Hz for 1?mT RMF and 5.84?×?10^?2?Hz for 6?mT RMF, increases with the magnetic strength. However, with increasing the magnetic field strength up to 7?mT, the three-dimensional thermocapillary flow is effectively controlled and the convection turns into a steady axisymmetrical one.     

Two bifurcation transition processes in floating half zone convection of larger Prandtl number fluid

Processes of the onset oscillation in the thermocapillary convection under the Earth's gravity are investigated by the numerical simulation and experiments in a floating half zone of large Prandtl number with different volume ratio. Both computational and experimental results show that the steady and axisymmetric convection turns to the oscillatory convection ofm=1 for the slender liquid bridge, and to the oscillatory convection before a steady and 3D asymmetric state for the case of a fat liquid bridge. It implies that, there are two critical Marangoni numbers related, respectively, to these two bifurcation transitions for the fat liquid bridge. The computational results agree with the results of ground-based experiments.

Numerical prediction of turbulent thermocapillary convection in superposed fluid layers with a free interface

The present paper introduces a new numerical method for predicting the characteristics of thermocapillary turbulent convection in a differentially-heated rectangular cavity with two superposed and immiscible fluid layers. The unsteady Reynolds form of the Navier–Stokes equations and energy equation are solved by using the control volume approach on a staggered grid system using SIMPLE algorithm. The turbulence quantities are predicted by applying the standard k–ε turbulence model. The level set formulation is applied for predicting the topological changes of the interface separating the two fluid layers and to provide an accurate and robust modeling of the interfacial normal and tangential stresses. The computational results obtained showed good agreement when compared with the previous experimental, numerical and analytical benchmark data for different validation cases in both laminar and turbulent regimes. The present numerical method is then applied to predict the velocity and temperature distribution in two immiscible liquid layers with undeformable interface for a wide range of Marangoni numbers. The laminar-turbulent transition is demonstrated by obtaining the turbulence features at high interfacial temperature gradient which is characterized by high Marangoni number. The effect of increasing Marangoni number on the interface dynamics in turbulent regime is also investigated.
