同轴旋转可压缩流动中液体射流稳定性

基于线性稳定性理论,建立了描述同轴旋转可压缩流动中超空化条件下液体射流稳定性的数学模型,并对数学模型及其求解方法进行了验证;在此基础上,对模型中考虑的射流及气体可压缩性、气体同轴旋转以及超空化等因素对射流稳定性的影响进行了分析. 分析结果表明,模型中考虑射流及气体的可压缩性后,与不考虑可压缩性相比,计算得到的射流稳定性明显变差,最小液滴直径减小,分裂液滴直径变化范围变宽,且小液滴数量增多. 气体的同轴旋转在轴对称与非轴对称扰动下对射流稳定性的影响完全相反;轴对称扰动时,气体旋转使射流稳定性增强,而非轴对称扰动时则正好相反;气体旋转有可能导致影响射流稳定性的扰动模式发生根本性变化. 超空化使射流稳定性变差;超空化程度较弱时,超空化使分裂液滴最小直径减小,分裂液滴直径变化范围增大;而超空化达到一定程度后,进一步提高超空化程度,分裂液滴最小直径几乎保持不变.

几何构型对流动聚焦生成微液滴的影响

流动聚焦型微流控装置能够方便、高效地生成均一度好且大小精确可调的微液滴(气泡),故被广泛应用于颗粒材料合成、药物封装、细胞培养等诸多领域. 进一步优化通道结构有助于实现对合成微粒粒径、均一度和尺寸范围的精确调控. 本文数值研究了通道深度、缩颈段长度以及两相夹角等几何构型因素对流动聚焦生成微液滴直径及其生成周期各个阶段的影响. 控制液滴生成方式为滴流式,发现液滴直径随通道深度d 的增加近似呈线性增大,且当通道深度小于30 μm 时,随着通道深度的下降,微液滴生成周期在毛细力的强烈作用下出现骤升,通道深度超过80 μm 时,微液滴的生成周期基本接近恒定. 连续相和离散相的夹角θ接近90°时,液滴直径及其生成周期最短,夹角太大或太小均不利于生成均一度好且粒径微小可控的液滴. 调整缩颈段长度l引起液滴直径及其生成周期的变化幅度仅为其平均值的3%~5% 左右. 此外,缩颈段宽度也是影响流动聚焦生成微液滴直径及其生成周期的重要因素,在通道深度固定时,缩颈段越宽,微液滴直径及其生成周期越大.      

可压缩旋转气体中超空化射流的热稳定性

液体射流热稳定性研究是对射流稳定性问题的更深层次的探讨,可以进一步加深对液体射流分裂与雾化机理的认识,具有重要的学术意义和工程应用价值. 基于射流稳定性理论,在同时考虑射流周围气体旋转、射流和周围气体可压缩性以及射流液体中含空化气泡的条件下,建立了描述可压缩旋转气体中超空化射流热稳定性的数学模型,并对数学模型及其求解方法进行了验证分析;在此基础上,分析了液体射流表面与周围气体间温差及射流内部温度梯度同时作用下对射流稳定性的影响;并进一步探讨了超空化射流的热稳定性. 结果表明,射流表面扰动波的最大扰动增长率、最不稳定频率以及最大扰动波数皆随气液温差的增大呈近似线性增大趋势;射流内部温度梯度的存在使得气液温差对射流的失稳作用更加显著;射流内部温度梯度会抑制超空化对射流稳定性的影响,但气液温差会在一定程度上促进超空化对射流的失稳作用.

Numerical modelling of film cooling with and without mist injection

Two-phase CFD calculations, using a Lagrangian model and commercial code Fluent 6.2.16, were employed to calculate the gas and droplet flows and film cooling effectiveness with and without mist on a flat plate. Two different three dimensional geometries are generated and the effects of the geometrical shape, size of droplets, mist concentration in the coolant flow and temperature of mainstream flow for different blowing ratios are studied. A cylindrical and laterally diffused hole with a streamwise angle of 30° and spanwise angle of 0° are used. The diameter of film cooling (d) hole, and the hole length to diameter ratio (L/d) for both of geometries are 10 mm and 4, respectively. Also the blowing ratio ranges from 1.0 to 2.0, and the mainstream Reynolds number based on the mainstream velocity and hole diameter (Re _d) is 6,219. The results are shown for different droplets diameters (1–10 μm), concentrations (1–5%) and mainstream temperatures (350–500 K). The centreline effectiveness and distribution of effectiveness on the surface of cooling wall are presented.     

Droplet combustion experiments in varying forced convection using microgravity environment

A new microscopic model of the interaction between droplet flames and fine vortex tubes which compose a coherent structure of turbulence was developed. Three non-dimensional numbers were introduced to extend the length scale and time scale so as to be suitable for microgravity experiments using droplets of combustion of about 1 mm in diameter. An experimental apparatus for combustion of a single droplet and that of an array of two droplets in varying airflow was developed, and experiments were performed in microgravity and normal gravity at pressures up to 2.0 MPa for n-nonane and ethanol as fuels. Variations of the instantaneous burning rate constant, K_i, in response to the varying flow velocity was successfully observed. At high pressure, the effects of droplet Reynolds number Re on K_i was clearly seen, while the effects of natural convection, which increases K_i with Re, was seen in normal gravity even in the forced airflows. As for the experiments on combustion of an array of two droplets, K_i reduction of the downstream droplet became weak when the flow direction was varied. However, the K_i reduction of the downstream droplet for flow direction variations was clearly seen for n-nonane droplets but almost not for ethanol droplets. The interaction mechanism between upstream and downstream droplets is considered to result from the elimination of oxidizer supply to the downstream droplet, indicating strong interaction effects of n-nonane droplets for a stoichiometric oxygen-fuel ratio of n-nonane (i.e., 14.0) greater than that of ethanol (i.e., 3.0).

Drag coefficients of spherical liquid droplets Part 2: Turbulent gaseous fields

The drag of non-evaporating, spherical, liquid droplets was measured in turbulent flow fields at parametric ranges relevant to spray combustion, characterized by the droplet Reynolds number, and the intensity and spatial scales of turbulence. The experimental apparatus comprised a wind-tunnel and a piezo-electric droplet generator. The procedure was to inject water droplets of uniform size co-currently and continuously with vertical turbulent air flows while droplet velocity was measured at different elevations using laser-Doppler velocimetry. Turbulence was characterized using hot-wire anemometry prior to droplet injection. Drag coefficients were calculated using these main measurements and the law of conservation of mechanical energy. Reynolds numbers were investigated in the range 10–100, in terms of the equivalent spherical diameter of a droplet, and the mean relative speed between the ambient gaseous field and the droplets. Weber numbers were much less than unity so droplets were effectively spherical. Relative intensities of turbulence were investigated in the range 20–65 percent, in terms of the mean relative speed. Spatial scales of turbulence were large in comparison to the droplets; the ratio between the spatial integral scale and the droplet diameter was in the range 11–38, and the Kolmogorov scale was comparable in size or smaller than the droplet diameter. Experimental data showed that the drag in turbulent fields under these conditions is not significantly different than that of solid spheres in a quiescent field at the same Reynolds number.The financial support of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Manufacturing Research Corporation of Ontario is gratefully acknowledged.     

The periodicity of droplets emanating from interconnected orifices

The periodicity of droplets emanating from a single and from two orifices with a common fluid reservoir between them was investigated. Experiments were conducted in which the effects of variations in mass flow rate, orifice diameter and common reservoir volume were determined. The results reported herein indicate that dripping from an orifice at relatively low mass flow rates is singly periodic and that the period between droplets is inversely proportional to the imposed mass flow rate. A simple model of the singly periodic droplet emission process is developed and supported by the experimental results. Period doubling initiates and continues to develop with further increases in the mass flow rate. It is marked by the introduction of additional, smaller diameter droplets that are interspersed temporally among the larger, primary droplets. The presence of a common fluid reservoir volume between two orifices of the same diameter is shown for the singly periodic regime not to alter the droplet emission rate of either orifice as compared to its single orifice counterpart. The volume of the reservoir, however, does affect the mass flow rate per orifice necessary for initial period doubling, with this mass flow rate being lower for a smaller reservoir volume.     

Experimental investigation of penetration performance of shaped charge into concrete targets

In order to develop a tandem warhead that can effectively destroy concrete targets, this paper explores the penetration performance of shaped charges with different cone angles and liner materials into concrete targets by means of experiments. The penetration process and the destruction mechanism of concrete targets by shaped charges and kinetic energy projectiles are analyzed and compared. Experimental results suggest that both kinetic energetic projectile and shaped charge are capable of destroying concrete targets, but the magnitudes of damage are different. Compared with a kinetic energy projectile, a shaped charge has more significant effect of penetration into the target, and causes very large spalling area. Hence, a shaped charge is quite suitable for first-stage charge of tandem warhead. It is also found that, with the increase of shaped charge liner cone angle, the depth of penetration decreases gradually while the hole diameter becomes larger. Penetration depth with copper liner is larger than of aluminum liner but hole diameter is relatively smaller, and the shaped charge with steel liner is between the above two cases. The shaped charge with a cone angle of 100° can form a jet projectile charge （JPC）. With JPC, a hole with optimum depth and diameter on concrete targets can be formed, which guarantees that the second-stage warhead smoothly penetrates into the hole and explodes at the optimum depth to achieve the desired level of destruction in concrete targets.     

High-throughput generation of uniform droplets from parallel microchannel droplet generators and the preparation of polystyrene microsphere material

To prepare uniform polystyrene particles with ten microns of diameter, a parallel scaling-up strategy for the capillary-assembled stepwise microchannel was developed, which created uniform droplets with high-throughput and formed a large amount of emulsion templates for the polymerization of styrene and cross-linker. The microchannel droplet generator was robust for the flow rate deviation of the continuous phase in the jetting flow, and droplet generation frequency up to 2.8 × 10⁴ Hz was achieved with only four parallel droplet generators, which were much more efficient than the parallelly scaled microfluidic devices working in dripping flow. 32–52 μm average diameter droplets with 4.5%–8.4% diameter variation coefficients were successfully prepared from the microchannel device fabricated by low-cost 3D-print method, and the droplets were subsequently turned to solid particles via a two-step polymerization in the platform. The polystyrene particles were further reduced to 16.9–23.5 μm with 5.0%–8.6% diameter variation coefficients due to the accompanying emulsion polymerization, and the working capacity of the platform reached hundred milligrams of particles per hour.     

Measurement of parameters of a gas suspension behind a shock wave in foam

A study has been made of the propagation of a shock wave in dry polyhedral foam with cell diameter 1 cm. The experiments were made in a shock tube in the range of Mach numbers M < 1.4 of the shock wave. The interaction of the shock wave with the foam was photographed. This established that the destruction of the foam by the shock wave leads to the formation of a gas-droplet flow behind the shock front. To determine the parameters of the suspension, the flow was probed by He-Ne lasers with different radiation wavelengths. The spectral-transparency method was used to find the modal diameter of the droplets of the gas suspension and the volume concentration of the droplets in the flow. The modal diameter of the droplets was 2m, and the volume concentration of the droplets decreased downstream.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 134–141, May–June, 1993.
