Study on the influences of interaction behaviors between multiple combustion-gas jets on expansion characteristics of Taylor cavities

The purpose of this study is to investigate means of controlling the interior ballistic stability of a bulk-loaded propellant gun(BLPG).Experiments on the interaction of twin combustion gas jets and liquid medium in a cylindrical stepped-wall combustion chamber are conducted in detail to obtain time series processes of jet expansion,and a numerical simulation under the same working conditions is also conducted to verify the reliability of the numerical method by comparing numerical results and experimental results.From this,numerical simulations on mutual interference and expansion characteristics of multiple combustion gas jets(four,six,and eight jets) in liquid medium are carried out,and the distribution characteristic of pressure,velocity,temperature,and evolutionary processes of Taylor cavities and streamlines of jet flow Held are obtained in detail.The results of numerical simulations show that when different numbers of combustion gas jets expand in liquid medium,there are two different types of vortices in the jet flow field,including corner vortices of liquid phase near the step and backflow vortices of gas phase within Taylor cavities.Because of these two types of vortices,the radial expansion characteristic of the jets is increased,while changing numbers of combustion gas jets can restrain Kelvin-Helmholtz instability to a certain degree in jet expansion processes,which can at last realize the goal of controlling the interior ballistic stability of a BLPG.The optimum method for both suppressing Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and promoting radial expansion of Taylor cavities can be determined by analyzing the change of characteristic parameters in a jet flow field.     

Study on Expansion Characteristic of Twin Combustion Gas Jets in Five-Stage Cylindrical Stepped-wall Observation Chamber

The five-stage cylindrical stepped-wall observation chamber is designed to investigate the method of controlling the interior ballistic stability in bulk-loaded propellant guns. The expansion and mixing process of twin combustion gas jets in liquid is studied by means of high speed photographic system. The influence of multiple parameters on jet expansion shape is discussed. Based on the experiment, the three-dimensional mathematics model is established to simulate the expansion process of twin gas jets in liquid. The pressure, density, temperature, velocity contours and evolutionary process of vortices are obtained. Results show that vortices behind the corner of the steps are formed due to the inducing effect of steps. The jets can expand along the axial and radial direction simultaneously, weakening the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The numerical simulation results of axial expansion displacement are in good agreement with the experimental data.

An investigation on near wall transport characteristics in an adiabatic upward gas–liquid two-phase slug flow

The near-wall transport characteristics, inclusive of mass transfer coefficient and wall shear stress, which have a great effect on gas–liquid two-phase flow induced internal corrosion of low alloy pipelines in vertical upward oil and gas mixing transport, have been both mechanistically and experimentally investigated in this paper. Based on the analyses on the hydrodynamic characteristics of an upward slug unit, the mass transfer in the near wall can be divided into four zones, Taylor bubble nose zone, falling liquid film zone, Taylor bubble wake zone and the remaining liquid slug zone; the wall shear stress can be divided into two zones, the positive wall shear stress zone associated with the falling liquid film and the negative wall shear stress zone associated with the liquid slug. Based on the conventional mass transfer and wall shear stress characteristics formulas of single phase liquid full-pipe turbulent flow, corrected normalized mass transfer coefficient formula and wall shear stress formula are proposed. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The shear stress and the mass transfer coefficient in the near wall zone are increased with the increase of superficial gas velocity and decreased with the increase of superficial liquid velocity. The mass transfer coefficients in the falling liquid film zone and the wake zone of leading Taylor bubble are lager than those in the Taylor bubble nose zone and the remaining liquid slug zone, and the wall shear stress associated falling liquid film is larger than that associated the liquid slug. The mass transfer coefficient is within 10⁻³ m/s, and the wall shear stress below 10³ Pa. It can be concluded that the alternate wall shear stress due to upward gas–liquid slug flow is considered to be the major cause of the corrosion production film fatigue cracking.     

Hydrodynamic and mass transfer characteristics of slug flow in a vertical pipe with and without dispersed small bubbles

In this work, we present a numerical study to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of slug flow and the mechanism of slug flow induced CO₂ corrosion with and without dispersed small bubbles. The simulations are performed using the coupled model put forward by the authors in previous paper, which can deal with the multiphase flow with the gas–liquid interfaces of different length scales. A quasi slug flow, where two hypotheses are imposed, is built to approximate real slug flow. In the region ahead of the Taylor bubble and the liquid film region, the presence of dispersed small bubbles has less impacts on velocity field, because there are no non-regular intensive disturbance forces or centrifugal forces breaking the balance of the liquid and the dispersed small bubbles. In the liquid slug region, the strong centrifugal forces generated by the recirculation below the Taylor bubble lead to the effect of heterogeneity, which makes the profile of the radial liquid velocity component sharper with higher volume fraction of dispersed small bubbles. The volume fraction has a maximum value in the range of r/R = 0.5–0.6. Meanwhile, it is usually higher than 0.35, which means that larger dispersed bubbles can be formed by coalescences in this region. These calculated results are in good agreement with experimental results. The wall shear stress and the mass transfer coefficient with dispersed small bubbles are higher than those without dispersed small bubbles due to enhanced fluctuations. For short Taylor bubble length, the average mass transfer coefficient is increased when the gas or liquid superficial velocity is increased. However, there may be an inflection point at low mixture superficial velocities. For the slug with dispersed small bubbles, the product scales still cannot be damaged directly despite higher wall shear stress. In fact, the alternate wall shear stress and the pressure fluctuations perpendicular to the pipe wall with high frequency are the main cause for breaking the product scales.

水下爆炸近壁面流场局部空化形成机理

为深入认识水下爆炸近壁面流场局部空化的形成机理,采用自行研制的转镜式分幅相机,获得了炸药水下爆炸近壁面流场局部空化效应的光学图像,结合数值模拟和Taylor平面波理论、空泡动力学理论,分析了近壁面空化效应的形成过程。结果表明：界面反射的稀疏波作用和水中空化核的膨胀发展是水下爆炸近壁面流场空化效应形成的原因;外界流场压力对空泡初期膨胀运动影响较小,对空泡后期运动行为影响较大;低压环境下不同尺度空泡的运动行为存在较大差异,小尺度空泡（半径小于10μm）在低压环境下处于快速膨胀、溃灭状态,对流场空化影响较小;大尺度空泡（半径大于10μm）可失去稳定性,半径持续增大,对流场空化区的形成影响较大;水中不同尺寸空泡空间分布的随机性可导致空化区成长过程中呈现非规则形状。     

Experimental study on hydrodynamic characteristics of upward gas–liquid slug flow

To clarify the impacts of the hydrodynamic boundary layer and the diffusion boundary layer in the near wall zone on gas–liquid two-phase flow induced corrosion in pipelines, the hydrodynamic characteristics of fully developed gas–liquid slug flow in an upward tube are investigated with limiting diffusion current probes, conductivity probes and digital high-speed video system. The Taylor bubble and the falling liquid film characteristics are studied, the effects of various factors are examined, and the experimental results are compared with the data and models available in literature. The length of Taylor bubble, the local void fraction of the slug unit and the liquid slug, the shear stress and mass transfer coefficient in the near wall zone, are all increased with the increase of superficial gas velocity and decreased with the increase of superficial liquid velocity, whereas the length of liquid slug and the liquid slug frequency are changed contrarily. The alternate wall shear stress due to upward gas–liquid slug flow is considered to be one of the major causes for the corrosion production film fatigue cracking. A normalized formula for mass transfer coefficient is obtained based on the experimental data.     

PIV measurements of a plane wall jet in a confined space at transitional slot Reynolds numbers

Wall jets are important for a wide variety of engineering applications, including ventilation of confined spaces and cooling and drying processes. Although a lot of experimental studies have been devoted to wall jets, many of these have focused on laminar or turbulent wall jets. There is a lack of experimental data on transitional wall jets, especially transitional wall jets released into a confined space or enclosure. This paper presents flow visualizations and high-resolution Particle Image Velocimetry measurements of isothermal transitional plane wall jets injected through a rectangular slot in a confined space. As opposed to many previous studies, not only the wall jet region but also the recirculation region in the remainder of the enclosure is analyzed. The data and analysis in this paper provide new insights into the behavior of transitional plane wall jets in a confined space and will be useful for the validation of numerical simulations of this type of jets.     

Flow and breakup characteristics of elliptical liquid jets

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on liquid jets discharging from elliptical orifices into still ambient air. The experiments were conducted with a set of elliptical orifices of approximately same area of cross section but varying orifice aspect ratio using water and water–glycerol mixture as experimental fluids. The flow behavior of liquid jets was analyzed using their photographs captured by an imaging system. The measurements obtained for the elliptical liquid jets were compared with the circular liquid jets discharging from a circular orifice of the same area of cross section. Elliptical geometry of the orifice results in a flow process by which the emanating liquid jet periodically switches its major and minor axes as it flows downstream of the orifice. In this paper, we attempt to characterize the axis-switching process through its wavelength and amplitude. For a given elliptical orifice, the axis-switching process is dominantly seen in a particular range of flow conditions. The effects of the orifice aspect ratio and liquid viscosity on the axis-switching process are revealed through this study. The experimental results on jet breakup show that axis-switching process has a destabilizing effect on elliptical liquid jets within a particular range of flow conditions and it results in shorter breakup lengths compared to the circular jet. The extent to which axis-switching destabilizes the jet is dictated by the viscosity of liquid. An increase in orifice aspect ratio destabilizes elliptical liquid jets with low viscosity like water; however, this behavior seems to get obscured in water–glycerol mixture elliptical jets due to high viscosity.

Studies on heat transfer and flow characteristics in subcooled flow boiling—Part 1. Boiling characteristics

Measurement of wall temperature profile and photographic observation are performed for R-113 subcooled boiling flow in a channel with heat fluxes up to the CHF. The incipient boiling superheats measured are little affected by mass velocity and liquid subcooling. Hysteresis in boiling observed by increasing and decreasing heat flux seems to be ascribed to variation in size of active nucleation cavities on the wall. Increasing heat flux up to the CHF, the bubble density on the heated surface increases and remarkably large coalescent bubbles appear periodically near the heating section outlet.     

Upwash formation on splash plate atomization

The present study investigated the formation of upwash by the impingement of two liquid sheets on a solid wall. Here I considered the case when two liquid jets impinge on a solid wall, generating two liquid sheets, which in turn generates an upwash. The upwash greatly affects the spray characteristics and the spatial dispersion of spray droplets of a splash plate atomizer. Therefore, the upwash formation should be taken into account in the design of an atomizer. The formation of an upwash was experimentally observed under different experimental conditions, and the shape of the upwash was classified. Furthermore, the formation conditions and the shape of the upwash were theoretically analyzed, and the results of the theoretical analysis were verified experimentally.     

Experimental study on near wall transport characteristics of slug flow in a vertical pipe

In this work, the wall shear stress and the mass transfer coefficient of the gas–liquid two-phase upward slug flow in a vertical pipe are investigated experimentally, using limiting diffusion current probes and digital high-speed video system. In experiments, the instantaneous and averaged characteristics of wall shear stress and mass transfer coefficient are concerned. The experimental results are compared with the numerical results in previous paper of the authors. Both experiment and numerical simulation show that the superficial gas and liquid velocities have an obvious influence on the instantaneous characteristics of the two profiles. The mass transfer coefficient has characteristics similar to the wall shear stress. The instantaneous wall shear stress and mass transfer coefficient profiles have the periodicity of slug flow. The averaged wall shear stress and mass transfer coefficient increase with increased superficial gas velocity. However, there is inconsistency in the variation trends of the averaged wall shear stress and mass transfer coefficient with superficial liquid velocity between experimental result and numerical simulation result, which can be attributed to the difference in flow condition. Moreover, the Taylor bubble length is also another impacting factor. The experimental and numerical results all shows that the product scale can not be damaged directly by the flow movement of slug flow. In fact, the alternative forces and fluctuations with high frequency acting on the pipe wall due to slug flow is the main cause for the slug flow enhanced CO₂ corrosion process.     

Construction of liquid flow past a solid body with an air layer

It is known that the friction drag for a body moving in a liquid may be reduced by varying the physical properties of the liquid at the body surface and, in particular, by creating an artificial air cavity on the body surface.The question of the magnitude of the drag gain in the case of the presence of a wall fluid layer with different physical constants was considered in [1–3].In [4, 5] results are presented of theoretical and experimental studies on the question of determining the parameters of artificial air cavities created on the lower surface of a horizontal wall in order to reduce the drag.In the following an attempt is made to construct the three-dimensional flow of an ideal liquid past a body which is enveloped entirely in an air cavity.     

Numerical solution of the two‐phase expansion of a metastable flashing liquid jet using the dispersion‐controlled dissipative scheme

This paper presents a study of the stationary phenomenon of superheated or metastable liquid jets, flashing into a two‐dimensional axisymmetric domain, while in the two‐phase region. In general, the phenomenon starts off when a high‐pressure, high‐temperature liquid jet emerges from a small nozzle or orifice expanding into a low‐pressure chamber, below its saturation pressure taken at the injection temperature. As the process evolves, crossing the saturation curve, one observes that the fluid remains in the liquid phase reaching a superheated condition. Then, the liquid undergoes an abrupt phase change by means of an oblique evaporation wave. Across this phase change the superheated liquid becomes a two‐phase high‐speed mixture in various directions, expanding to supersonic velocities. In order to reach the downstream pressure, the supersonic fluid continues to expand, crossing a complex bow shock wave. The balance equations that govern the phenomenon are mass conservation, momentum conservation, and energy conservation, plus an equation‐of‐state for the substance. A false‐transient model is implemented using the shock capturing scheme: dispersion‐controlled dissipative (DCD), which was used to calculate the flow conditions as the steady‐state condition is reached. Numerical results with computational code DCD‐2D v1 have been analyzed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fluctuating flow in a liquid layer and secondary spray created by an impacting spray

A spray impacting onto a wall produces a flow of secondary droplets. For relatively sparse spray these secondary droplets are produced by the splashing of the impacting drops and their interactions. For dense sprays, like Diesel injection sprays, these secondary droplets are created by the fluctuating liquid film created on the wall. In the present paper hydrodynamic models are presented for these two extreme cases. The velocities of the secondary droplets produced by the crown splash in a sparse spray are described theoretically. Next, the fluctuations in the motion of the liquid film created by a dense impacting spray are analyzed statistically. This motion yields the formation of finger-like jets, as observed in experiments of a Diesel spray impacting onto a rigid wall. The characteristic size and velocity of the film fluctuations are estimated. These two theoretical models are validated by comparison with the experimental data.
