为了了解水平温度梯度作用下双层流体内热毛细对流的特征,实验观察了环形池内由1cSt硅油和氟化液FC-40组成的双层流体内热毛细对流失稳后的不稳定现象。实验表明,随着上层或下层流体厚度的增加,流动稳定性减弱。当上层厚度为1.5 mm时,内外环间温差超过临界温差后在外环区域产生三维稳态的直条纹、并在内环区域产生热流体波,波纹产生于上层流体。当上层流体厚度为2mm时,液层内三维稳态直条纹占主导。环形池旋转使稳态条纹变为弯曲波纹,并且液层内只有一组传播方向与环形池的旋转方向相反的热流体波。

数值分析环形池硅熔体旋转-热毛细对流及其稳定性

数值模拟了内半径20 mm、外半径40 mm、深5 mm环形池内硅熔体在旋转和热毛细力共同驱动下的热对流,通过线性稳定性分析确定了旋转-热毛细对流失稳的临界Marangoni数等临界条件。研究结果表明,液池低速旋转会降低轴对称热毛细对流的稳定性,而较高速度的旋转能增强热毛细对流的稳定性。临界条件下旋转-热毛细对流耗散结构波纹的传播方向与液池的旋转方向相同,临界周向波数随旋转速度的增加而增加。在较大的旋转速度下,液池底部出现涡胞,底部涡胞对热毛细对流的稳定性具有削弱作用。     

Soret效应对环形浅池内溶液热毛细对流的影响

采用三维数值模拟方法研究了Soret效应对深宽比为0.1的环形浅液池内双组分溶液热毛细对流的影响。结果表明,当热毛细Reynolds数较小时,溶液流动为二维轴对称稳态流动,相同热毛细Reynolds数下双组分溶液热毛细对流强于纯工质。由于双组分溶液中Soret效应的作用,冷壁面附近溶质浓度大于热壁面附近溶质浓度,且溶质毛细力方向与热毛细力方向一致,因此,溶液流动加强,相比纯工质更易失稳。流动失稳后,双组分溶液中呈现出热流体波与三维振荡流动并存的流动结构,且Soret效应对热流体波波数和主频有明显影响。

Coupling of Evaporation and Thermocapillary Convection in a Liquid Layer with Mass and Heat Exchanging Interface

We propose and analyse a new model of thermocapillary convection with evaporation in a cavity subjected to horizontal temperature gradient, rather than the previously studied model without evaporation. The pure liquid layer with a top free surface in contact with its own vapour is considered in microgravity condition. The computing programme developed for simulating this model integrates the two-dimensional, time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation by a second-order accurate projection method. We focus on the coupling of evaporation and thermocapillary convection by investigating the influence of evaporation Biot number and Marangoni number on the interracial mass and heat transfer. Three different regimes of the coupling mechanisms are found and explained from our numerical results.     

Experimental Investigation of Thermocapillary Convection in a Liquid Layer with Evaporating Interface

Thermocapillary convection coupling with the evaporation effect of evaporating liquids is studied experimentally. This study focused on an evaporation liquid layer in a rectangular cavity subjected to a horizontal temperature gradient when the top evaporating surface is open to air, while most previous works only studied pure thermocapillary convection without evaporation. Two liquids with different evaporating rates are used to study the coupling of evaporation and thermocapillary convection, and the interfacial temperature profiles for different temperature gradients are measured. The experimental results indicate evidently the influence of evaporation effect on the thermocapillary convection and interfacial temperature profiles. The steady multicellular flow and the oscillatory multicellular flow in the evaporation liquid layer are observed by using the particle-image-velocimetry method.     

基于Level Set方法的双层流体热毛细对流的数值研究

基于Level Set方法建立了双层流体热毛细对流的数学模型,通过变密度二阶投影法求解控制方程,C-N隐式技术用于扩散项更新,三阶龙格库塔技术用于对流项的更新,采用连续表面张力模型(CSF)模拟Marangoni效应。三维数值模拟了微重力环境下双层流体系统中交界面变形的热毛细对流,结果显示,在Marangoni效应的作用下,交界面在热端凸起,在冷端凹陷;随着Marangoni数增大,双层流体交界面的变形率随之增大,对流强度也随之增大;交界面与壁面的接触条件会影响热毛细对流的流场和温度场。     

Heat-flux measurement in high-Prandtl-number turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection

We report Nusselt number measurements from high Prandtl number turbulent thermal convection experiments. The experiments are conducted in four fluids with the Prandtl number Pr varying from 4 to 1350 and the Rayleigh number Ra from 2x10(7) to 3x10(10), all in a single convection cell of unity aspect ratio. We find that the measured Nusselt number decreased about 20% over the range of Pr spanned in the experiment. The measure data are also found in good agreement with the prediction of a recent theory over the extended range of Pr covered in the experiment.     

Combined action of different mechanisms of convective instability in multilayer systems

The nonlinear regimes of convection in a system of three immiscible viscous fluids are investigated by the finite-difference method. We study new phenomena caused by direct and indirect interaction of thermocapillary and buoyancy (Rayleigh and anticonvective) instability mechanisms. Two variants of heating-from below and from above-are considered. The interfaces are assumed to be flat. We focus on nonlinear evolution of steady and oscillatory motions and selection of stable convective structures depending on the parameters of systems. The influence of the lateral boundary conditions is also investigated. A classification of different variants of interaction between Rayleigh and thermocapillary instability mechanisms is presented, and several typical examples are studied. Specifically, we considered six different configurations where the Rayleigh convection arises mainly in a definite layer, and the thermocapillary convection appears mainly near the definite interface. Also, the case where both interfaces are active and alternatively play a dominant role is investigated. Some configurations of interaction between anticonvective and thermocapillary instability mechanisms are considered.
