泄爆过程中二次爆炸的动力学机理研究

在容积为0.00814m3的柱形泄爆容器中，对泄爆现象进行实验研究. 容器内充满当量比为1的甲烷-空气预混气，采用底端中心点火，泄爆压力为230±15kPa. 基于k-ε湍流模型和EBU燃烧模型，利用同位网格的SIMPLE算法，对该现象进行了数值模拟. 实验和计算获得的外轴线上4个测压点的压力曲线和外流场的阴影和数值照片，形象地描述了高压泄爆时外部流场的变化. 数值结果与实验结果基本一致. 根据实验和数值结果，详细地讨论了泄爆过程中二次爆炸产生的动力学机理. 泄爆的初始阶段，在破膜激波的引导下，泄出的未燃气体因欠膨胀在外流场形成稀疏波低压区和悬激波高压区. 高压区可燃气体密度和温度上升，成为高密度的预热区域. 随后，火焰以射流形式从泄爆口泄出，点燃可燃气云. 受湍流等因素的影响，特别在高密度的预热区域，燃烧速率可能迅速增大，从而导致二次爆炸.     

Turbulence,vortex and external explosion induced by venting

The process of explosion venting to air in a cylindrical vent vessel connected to a duct, filling with a stoichiometric methane-oxygen gas mixture, was simulated numerically by using a colocated grid SIMPLE scheme based on k-epsilon turbulent model and Eddydissipation combustion model. The characteristics of the combustible cloud, flame and pressure distribution in the external flow field during venting were analyzed in terms of the predicted results. The results show that the external explosion is generated due to violent turbulent combustion in the high pressure region within the external combustible cloud ignited by a jet flame. And the turbulence and vortex in the external flow field were also discussed in detail. After the jet flame penetrating into the external combustible cloud, the turbulent intensity is greater in the regions with greater average kinetic energy gradient, rather than in the flame front ; and the vortex in the external flow field is generated primarily due to the baroclinic effect, which is greater in the regions where the pressure and density gradients are nearly perpendicular.     

A numerical study of three-dimensional laminar natural convection in a vented enclosure

A three-dimensional numerical investigation of steady laminar natural convection in vented enclosures is carried out. A discrete flush-type heat source mounted on the substrate is used to simulate an electronic component. Four different vent locations are investigated. Combined natural convection in the air and conduction in the heat source, the substrate, and the enclosure walls are solved. Solutions are obtained for Rayleigh numbers ranging from 10⁴ to 10⁶, different substrate thermal conductivity ratios, and varied vent sizes. The calculation domain is extended beyond the cubic enclosure in x-, y-, and z-directions. Appropriate boundary conditions are prescribed on the extended computational domain. The resulting flow and temperature patterns are discussed. Also, the local and overall heat transfer from the heat source and the substrate, in terms of Nusselt numbers and the surface temperatures, are presented to illustrate the vent effects.     

泄爆诱导二次爆炸的实验研究

在不同泄爆压力、不同泄爆面积和不同当量比的甲烷/空气预混气的实验条件下,采用容积为0.00814m3带导管的柱形泄爆容器和底端中心点火方式,进行了一系列泄爆实验。实验获得了内外流场测点的压力历史曲线。结果表明泄爆后外流场出现典型的破膜激波和二次爆炸波的双峰变化特征,前者不断下降,其强度随泄爆压力的增大而增大,而后者经历了上升和下降过程,强度随泄爆压力、泄爆面积和甲烷/空气当量比的增大而增大。     

点火位置对氢气-空气预混气体泄爆过程的影响

利用高速纹影和压力测试系统对不同点火位置及不同破膜压力条件下氢气-空气预混气的泄爆特性进行研究。研究结果表明:在所有情况下,中心点火时火焰传播速率和面积最大,产生了最大的内部压力峰值,尾端点火时火焰传播速率和面积次之,产生的内部压力峰值也次之;前端点火时火焰传播速率和面积均最小,产生了最小的内部压力峰值。前端点火时,容器内部压力出现了3个明显的压力峰值,中心和尾端点火时,只能观察到第1个和第3个压力峰值。并且,随着破膜压力的增加,中心和尾端点火时,火焰面积均增大,产生的内部压力峰值均增大。在前端点火的条件下出现了声学振荡的现象,对内部压力产生了显著的影响。     

高压泄爆导致的二次爆炸

基于计算结果和相关实验结果，通过理论分析，对高压泄爆导致的二次爆炸机理进行了系统的阐述。泄爆后，泄出的高压可燃气体在泄爆口附近形成可燃云团，由于欠膨胀，云团内存在稀疏波低压区和Mach干高压区。火焰射流泄出后，在一定条件下，可使Mach干高压区内的可燃云团爆炸式燃烧，压力迅速上升，以致产生二次爆炸。     

泄爆诱导的湍流、旋涡和外部爆炸

基于k-ε湍流模型和Eddy-dissipation燃烧模型,采用同位网格SIMPLE算法,对充满甲烷-氧气预混气的带导管柱形泄爆容器向空气中泄爆的情形进行了数值模拟．根据计算结果,分析了泄爆后外流场中可燃云团、火焰和压力的变化过程．结果表明,外部爆炸是因射流火焰点燃高压区中的可燃云团,从而引起的剧烈湍流燃烧所致．同时还讨论了外流场湍流和涡量的分布特征．射流火焰进入外部可燃云团后,湍流主要分布在平均动能梯度较大的区域,而不在火焰阵面上．涡量分布主要受斜压效应的影响,在压力和密度梯度斜交区域,其值较大．     

Thermal Management and Modeling of Forced Convection and Entropy Generation in a Vented Cavity by Simultaneous Use of a Curved Porous Layer and Magnetic Field

The effects of using a partly curved porous layer on the thermal management and entropy generation features are studied in a ventilated cavity filled with hybrid nanofluid under the effects of inclined magnetic field by using finite volume method. This study is performed for the range of pertinent parameters of Reynolds number (100≤Re≤1000), magnetic field strength (0≤Ha≤80), permeability of porous region (10−4≤Da≤5×10−2), porous layer height (0.15H≤tp≤0.45H), porous layer position (0.25H≤yp≤0.45H), and curvature size (0≤b≤0.3H). The magnetic field reduces the vortex size, while the average Nusselt number of hot walls increases for Ha number above 20 and highest enhancement is 47% for left vertical wall. The variation in the average Nu with permeability of the layer is about 12.5% and 21% for left and right vertical walls, respectively, while these amounts are 12.5% and 32.5% when the location of the porous layer changes. The entropy generation increases with Hartmann number above 20, while there is 22% increase in the entropy generation for the case at the highest magnetic field. The porous layer height reduced the entropy generation for domain above it and it give the highest contribution to the overall entropy generation. When location of the curved porous layer is varied, the highest variation of entropy generation is attained for the domain below it while the lowest value is obtained at yp=0.3H. When the size of elliptic curvature is varied, the overall entropy generation decreases from b = 0 to b=0.2H by about 10% and then increases by 5% from b=0.2H to b=0.3H.

为了得到球形容器内可燃气体的泄爆强度产生机理以及燃烧火焰与压力传播的基本规律,从流体力学和化学反应动力学守恒出发,采用-湍流模型和EBU-Arrhenius燃烧模型,利用SIMPLE算法对带泄爆导管的球形容器二维空间内甲烷-空气预混气体的泄爆过程内外场进行了数值计算,获得了气体燃烧过程中火焰和压力传播特性以及气体流动特性,能够比较清晰地反映泄爆的整个过程。研究表明,燃烧火焰在泄爆过程中发生湍流,传播得到了极大的加速,泄爆导管对于容器内的高压气体泄放有很大的约束作用。     

泄爆外流场的可视化

通过实验和数值方法,对泄爆外流场进行了可视化研究。实验中采用YA-16高速阴影系统,拍摄了泄爆外流场的时序阴影照片。基于K-湍流模型和漩涡破碎（eddy dissipation）燃烧模型,利用同位网格SIMPLE算法,对泄爆过程进行了数值模拟。根据计算结果,由计算光学获得泄爆外流场的时序计算阴影图。实验阴影图与计算阴影图较一致,都形象地揭示了泄爆后湍流火焰的发展及二次爆炸的产生和变化过程。
