冲蚀磨损与冲蚀、空蚀交互磨损的对比研究

基于计算流体力学(computational fluid dynamics,CFD)方法,数值对比研究了在模拟水轮机工况中不同转速时,冲蚀与冲蚀、空蚀交互作用时,转盘表面的流场(压力场、流体浓度分布),然后在转盘式磨损装置上,进行了汽液固三相冲蚀与空蚀交互磨损试验.结果表明:对于冲蚀磨损来说,随着转速增加,压力增大,在冲蚀作用下加入空蚀磨损,压力增高,磨损加剧;而对于交互磨损来说,随着转速增加,转盘表面的空蚀磨损区域从空化孔附近开始沿着转盘旋转的反方向偏移,并且磨损程度加剧;数值计算的气泡较多且压力梯度较高区域和试验转盘磨损区域基本一致,数值计算结果和试验结果吻合得较好.

Numerical investigation of the effect of dual frequency sonication on stable bubble dynamics

A computational study aiming to simulate an oxygen single acoustic bubble oscillation under a dual-frequency sonication was presented in this paper. The non-linear response of the bubble to the superposition of two fields of ultrasonic waves was investigated through dynamics parameters, collapse ratios and average velocities. The main goal of this analyze is to link the properties of the wave resulting from the dual-frequency excitation to the dynamics behavior of the bubble. The obtained results prove that, in contrast with the mono-frequency, coupling a wave to lower frequencies enhances the collapse duration and raises the compression ratio in the case of 35 kHz, while associating any of the studied waves to a higher frequency elevates the number of bubble oscillations during a time interval as compared to mono-frequency. The total sonochemical production has been investigated in accordance with the dynamics results, as well as the proportions of the three predominant free radicals, that show a dependency on the value of the basic frequency.     

State-dependent diffusion coefficients and free energies for nucleation processes from Bayesian trajectory analysis

ABSTRACT

The rate of nucleation processes such as the freezing of a supercooled liquid or the condensation of supersaturated vapour is mainly determined by the height of the nucleation barrier and the diffusion coefficient for the motion across it. Here, we use a Bayesian inference algorithm for Markovian dynamics to extract simultaneously the free energy profile and the diffusion coefficient in the nucleation barrier region from short molecular dynamics trajectories. The specific example we study is the nucleation of vapour bubbles in liquid water under strongly negative pressures, for which we use the volume of the largest bubble as a reaction coordinate. Particular attention is paid to the effects of discretisation, the implementation of appropriate boundary conditions and the optimal selection of parameters. We find that the diffusivity is a linear function of the bubble volume over wide ranges of volumes and pressures, and is mainly determined by the viscosity of the liquid, as expected from the Rayleigh–Plesset theory for macroscopic bubble dynamics. The method is generally applicable to nucleation processes and yields important quantities for the estimation of nucleation rates in classical nucleation theory.     

Spherical void expansion in rubber-like materials: The stabilizing effects of viscosity and inertia

Dynamic cavitation is known to be a typical failure mechanism in rubber-like solids. While the mechanical behaviour of these materials is generally rate-dependent, the number of theoretical and numerical works addressing the problem of cavitation using nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive models is scarce. It has been only in recent years when some authors have suggested that cavitation in rubber-like materials is a dynamic fracture process strongly affected by the rate-dependent behaviour of the material because of the large strains and strain rates that develop near the cavity. In the present work we further investigate previous idea and perform finite element simulations to model the dynamic expansion of a spherical cavity embedded into a rubber-like ball and subjected to internal pressure. To describe the mechanical behaviour of the rubber-like material we have used an experimentally calibrated constitutive model which includes rate-dependent effects and material failure. The numerical results demonstrate that inertia and viscosity play a fundamental role in the cavitation process since they stabilize the material behaviour and thus delay failure.

Compressible simulations of bubble dynamics with central-upwind schemes

This paper discusses the implementation of an explicit density-based solver, that utilises the central-upwind schemes for the simulation of cavitating bubble dynamic flows. It is highlighted that, in conjunction with the Monotonic Upstream-Centered Scheme for Conservation Laws (MUSCL) scheme they are of second order in spatial accuracy; essentially they are high-order extensions of the Lax–Friedrichs method and are linked to the Harten Lax and van Leer (HLL) solver family. Basic comparison with the predicted wave pattern of the central-upwind schemes is performed with the exact solution of the Riemann problem, for an equation of state used in cavitating flows, showing excellent agreement. Next, the solver is used to predict a fundamental bubble dynamics case, the Rayleigh collapse, in which results are in accordance to theory. Then several different bubble configurations were tested. The methodology is able to handle the large pressure and density ratios appearing in cavitating flows, giving similar predictions in the evolution of the bubble shape, as the reference.     

The influence of air content in water on ultrasonic cavitation field

Cavitation is a complex physical phenomenon affected by many factors, one of which is the gas dissolved in the medium. Researchers have given some efforts to the influence of gas content on sonoluminescence or some specific chemical reactions in and around the bubble, but limited work has been reported about the influence on the ultrasonic cavitation field distribution. In this work, the intensity distribution of the ultrasound field in a cleaning tank has been measured with the hydrophone. After analysed and visualised by MATLAB software, it was found that the cavitation intensity distribution in degassed water was much better than that in tap water. And further study proved that degassing process can improve the cavitation effect dramatically both in intensity and scope. Finally, the cavitation fields in mediums with different gas content were measured and the specific influence of air content on cavitation field was discussed.     

Sonication effects on non-radical reactions. A sonochemistry beyond the cavitation?

The kinetics of pH-independent hydrolysis of 4-methoxyphenyl dichloroacetate were investigated under ultrasonic irradiation with an application of 10% of the maximum power of the equipment and without sonication in acetonitrile–water binary mixtures with a content of acetonitrile ranging from 0.008 to 35 wt.%. Similar kinetic investigations were performed at intensities corresponding to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of the input energy in solvent mixtures containing 10 wt.% and 25 wt.% acetonitrile. In parallel, the responses of KI and terephthalic acid dosimeters at applied irradiation levels were registered under the same experimental conditions. Significant kinetic sonication effects were found at sound intensities presumably not inducing cavitation in the solution. This result provides an experimental evidence of kinetic effects of ultrasound in the absence of cavitation. A disturbing impact of cavitation on the ultrasonic acceleration of the reaction was found. The implications of these findings were discussed.
