Simultaneous Droplet Size and Gas-Phase Turbulence Measurements in a Spray Flow using Phase-Doppler Interferometry

A recently developed method to increase the sensitivity of a phase-Doppler interferometer (PDI) has been applied to an annular air flow interacting with a spray under isothermal conditions in order to demonstrate the applicability of the method to obtaining velocity and turbulence characteristics of the gas-phase in a two-phase flow. A conventional PDI system operated in the first order refraction mode cannot be configured to efficiently detect small seed particles in the presence of large droplets due to the limited dynamic range of the photodetectors. It is therefore difficult or impossible to obtain seed particle detection rates sufficient for turbulence measurements. Doping the spray with a very small quantity of dye preferentially attenuates the light intensity scattered by large droplets, thus allowing the PDI system to detect small seed particles without damaging the photodetectors when large particles are present in the flow. Application of this method to a two-phase flow produced by a pressure-swirl atomizer coaxially located within an annular air jet has resulted in profiles of axial mean and fluctuating velocities and shear stresses as well as integral time scales and turbulent energy spectra.     

Flow visualization of a compound swirl jet with a thick rim

The conventional push-pull type ventilating system has two different functions: collection and ventilation. The entrainment flow of the jet is available for collecting suspended materials such as smoke, vapor and dust. In order to achieve more effective cleaning of dirty air, a compound swirl jet, which is composed of a coaxial annular swirl jet and a round free jet with a thick rim was proposed by the authors. A compound swirl flow has been shown to be very useful for the push-pull type ventilator by selecting the flow ratio of the annular swirl jet to the round free jet. As a fundamental study on the compound swirl flow, flow visualization was carried out using the smoke method to clarify the structure of the flow interaction between the round free jet and the annular swirl jet, respectively. As a result, a most suitable flow ratio for a push flow of the push-pull type ventilator was found to exist.     

Characterization of the boiling width on metal quenching with spray cooling

A hot aluminum alloy AA6082 and nickel disc of 560°C and 850°C was cooled by water spray of various spray flux under different condition of experiment. Temperature history was recorded with use of an infrared camera. During the quenching process, it was observed that the area with no apparent boiling and the outer annular region with vigorous liquid boiling have formed the boiling region. The width of the boiling region is essential as the maximum heat flux point is within the boiling region. Boiling width increases with initial temperature but decreases with water subcooling, spray flux and salinity.     

Further Development and Application of a Tomographical Data Processing Method for Laser Diffraction Measurements in Sprays

Using a tomographical transformation, a data processing method is developed to extend the Malvern line-of-sight measurements based on laser diffraction theory into pointwise spatial distributions of various spray characteristics including droplet volume and number concentrations as well as all mean diameters of practical interest. The method has been applied to characterize the structures of sprays injected into still ambient air and annular air streams with various liquid and air flow rates. It is found that the various mean droplet diameters may have different tendencies of radial variations, exhibiting their respective importance in characterizing sprays, and that the air flow can significantly modify the spray structure along both the radial and axial directions and may cause the dilution or accumulation of droplets in certain regions.

Structure of Liquid‐Sheet Sprays

Spray characteristics and their spatial distribution have been investigated experimentally for sprays generated by the breakup of thin liquid sheets in co‐flowing air streams. The spray characteristics such as droplet mean and fluctuation velocity and Sauter mean diameter have been measured by using phase Doppler anemometry under various liquid and air flow conditions at the nozzle exit. The results show that at a given spray cross section the droplet axial mean velocity has a maximum value at the spray center, and decreases towards the edge of the spray; whereas the Sauter mean diameter has a minimum value at the center and increases monotonically towards the spray periphery. Data analysis indicates that sufficiently downstream of the nozzle exit the droplet mean velocity attains a jet‐like self‐similar distribution in the transverse direction, and such universal distribution is also observed for the turbulent fluctuation velocity and turbulent intensity, although it is achieved further downstream compared to the mean velocity profile. The Sauter mean diameter at the spray center has a complex variation in the downstream direction due to secondary atomization at high air velocity near the nozzle exit and droplet entrainment, migration and possible coalescence farther downstream.     

等离子体激励器的静特性与高速特性仿真研究

A parametric study of high-frequency plasma jet actuator was carried out, using the experiment- tally measured energy distribution law of arc discharge as an ideal heat source. The influence of the exit angle of the actuator on the flow field was explored. The jet flow field characteristics of the spark discharge actuator under supersonic flow (Ma0=2.0) were investigated. The results show that the energy density of heat flux increases and the jet front and forward shock wave moves faster with the decrease of discharge region, and the smaller the exit angle of the jet is, the stronger the momentum injection ability of the actuator along the flow direction is. The rule still applies under high-speed air flow conditions. Compared to the static condition, the momentum injection capability of the jet is stronger and the influence domain is larger under supersonic flow conditions.     

An Improved Method to Determine Particle Dispersion Width for Efficient Modeling of Turbulent Two‐Phase Flows

An improved approach is presented for the hybrid Eulerian‐Lagrangian modeling of turbulent two‐phase flows. The hybrid model consists of a nonlinear k–ε model for the fluid flow and an efficient Lagrangian trajectory model for the particulate flow. The improved approach avoids an empirical correlation required to determine the dispersion width for the existing Stochastic‐Probabilistic Efficiency Enhanced Dispersion (SPEED) model. The improved SPEED model is validated using experimental data for a poly‐dispersed water spray interacting with a turbulent annular air jet behind a bluff‐body. Numerical results for the number‐mean and Sauter‐mean droplet diameters, as well as mean and fluctuating droplet velocities are compared with the experimental data and with the predictions of other dispersion models. It is demonstrated that higher computational efficiency and smoother profiles of Sauter‐mean diameter can be obtained with the improved stochastic‐probabilistic model than with the eddy‐interaction model.     

Large eddy simulation of a turbulent spray jet generated by high-pressure injection: impact of the in-nozzle flow

The turbulence properties of a gas spray jet generated through the injection of a high-pressure atomising spray were studied in the context of the Euler–Lagrange formulation using a large eddy simulation (LES) approach. The study's main aim was to investigate nozzle flow effects on flow and turbulence statistics for a two-phase jet flow in the near and far fields of the spray. The study investigated the injection of an existing in-nozzle flow at the spray inlet. Simulation results were compared with measurements obtained for non-evaporating sprays under quasi-steady conditions, which, in practice, correspond to a long-duration injection. Both simulated high-injection pressure cases showed a good agreement with experimental data. A two-stage evolution of the spray was observed. The flow of the gas jet first developed along the spray cone, followed by the appearance of highly vortical structures around and within the spray. Cavitation in the nozzle flow resulted in an observed asymmetry of the generated gas spray jet: on the gas spray jet side of the nozzle (relative to the cavitation side), stronger jet spreading occurred, and droplets were smaller and slower. The spray jet typically exhibited an ellipsoidal cross-sectional shape. The paper provides a characterisation of the asymmetry that persisted for the duration of the spray evolution (at least for the distances considered here).

Gas jet as a waveguide for air-coupled ultrasound

The directional characteristics of an ultrasonic signal have been studied during propagation within an axial gas jet. The effects of nozzle shape, nozzle diameter, and variations in jet velocity, temperature and gas composition have been investigated. At high flow velocities of an air jet, divergence of the ultrasonic beam was observed. This was attributed to the effects of refraction, caused by increased acoustic velocities in the direction of the flow. An effective waveguide was also demonstrated by cooling the air jet to below ambient temperatures, so that the acoustic velocity in the air jet was lower than that in the surrounding atmosphere. This could also be achieved by using carbon dioxide mixed with air, whereas the use of helium led to increased divergence. The result is likely to be of use in air-coupled ultrasonic materials inspection.     

Prediction of soot and thermal radiation in a model gas turbine combustor burning kerosene fuel spray at different swirl levels

Combustion of kerosene fuel spray has been numerically simulated in a laboratory scale combustor geometry to predict soot and the effects of thermal radiation at different swirl levels of primary air flow. The two-phase motion in the combustor is simulated using an Eulerian–Lagragian formulation considering the stochastic separated flow model. The Favre-averaged governing equations are solved for the gas phase with the turbulent quantities simulated by realisable k–? model. The injection of the fuel is considered through a pressure swirl atomiser and the combustion is simulated by a laminar flamelet model with detailed kinetics of kerosene combustion. Soot formation in the flame is predicted using an empirical model with the model parameters adjusted for kerosene fuel. Contributions of gas phase and soot towards thermal radiation have been considered to predict the incident heat flux on the combustor wall and fuel injector. Swirl in the primary flow significantly influences the flow and flame structures in the combustor. The stronger recirculation at high swirl draws more air into the flame region, reduces the flame length and peak flame temperature and also brings the soot laden zone closer to the inlet plane. As a result, the radiative heat flux on the peripheral wall decreases at high swirl and also shifts closer to the inlet plane. However, increased swirl increases the combustor wall temperature due to radial spreading of the flame. The high incident radiative heat flux and the high surface temperature make the fuel injector a critical item in the combustor. The injector peak temperature increases with the increase in swirl flow mainly because the flame is located closer to the inlet plane. On the other hand, a more uniform temperature distribution in the exhaust gas can be attained at the combustor exit at high swirl condition.
