油滴撞击油膜层内气泡的变形与破裂过程的数值模拟

旋转工作的机械零部件和机械设备的润滑系统工作过程中普遍存在着油滴和油膜的碰撞行为,这一行为易引起气泡夹带现象.气泡将对油滴撞击油膜时的运动过程和附壁油膜层的形成质量造成不可忽视的影响.基于耦合的水平集-体积分数方法,对油滴撞击含气泡油膜的行为进行数值模拟研究,考察油膜层内气泡的变形运动过程,分析气泡大小和位置等因素对撞击过程中气泡变形特征参数的影响规律,并探讨气泡破裂的动力学机制.研究表明,随着气泡直径的增大,油滴撞击含气泡油膜后气泡会依次出现自由表面破裂、稳定变形以及油膜内部破裂等现象;直径d=20μm的气泡能较稳定地存在于油膜层内,同时该值也是气泡发生自由表面破裂和油膜内部破裂的临界值.此外,气泡所在位置同样对气泡变形历程有一定影响,气泡越接近油膜表面,其变形量越大;位于油膜底层的气泡会附着在壁面上.在自由表面破裂和油膜内部破裂过程中,气泡破裂是由气-液界面不稳定引起的,表面张力对这两种现象起重要作用;而黏性剪切力对油膜内部破裂现象也有着不可忽视的影响.

Optimum bubble temperature for the sonochemical production of oxidants

Numerical simulations of bubble oscillations in liquid water irradiated by an ultrasonic wave are performed for various acoustic amplitudes and various ambient pressures. In the numerical simulations, effect of non-equilibrium evaporation and condensation of water vapor at the bubble wall and that of chemical reactions of gases and vapor inside a bubble are taken into account. The oxidants such as OH radicals, O radicals, H(2)O(2) molecules, and O(3) molecules are created from water vapor inside a heated bubble when a bubble collapses strongly. They are dispersed into the liquid and solutes are oxidized by the oxidants, which is called sonochemical reactions. The computer simulations have revealed that there exists the optimum bubble temperature, which is about 5500 K, for the production of the oxidants inside an air bubble because at higher bubble temperature the oxidants are strongly consumed inside a bubble by oxidizing nitrogen. Correspondingly, there exists an optimum acoustic amplitude for the production of the oxidants, which is about 2.2 atm when the ultrasonic frequency is 140 kHz and the ambient pressure is 1 atm. For an oxygen bubble, on the other hand, the amount of the oxidants created inside a bubble becomes nearly independent of the bubble temperature at the collapse above about 6000 K because nitrogen is absent.

Qualitative and quantitative flow visualization of bubble motions in a plane bubble plume

Overall, as well as individual, bubble behavior of a plane bubble plume which is confined by two parallel plates is investigated by means of several qualitative and quantitative flow visualization methods. These include observation, measurement of time-averaged void distribution, surface tufts and particle imaging velocimetry. Several kinds of unstable motion of the bubble convection, which depend on the free surface initial height and on the gas flow rate, are observed. The bubble motion along the bubble plume is precisely measured by an image-processing method which also delivers velocity vectors, number density and size of the bubbles.

Numerical simulation of gas bubble motion in a flow-through resonator

The problem of gas bubble motion in an acoustic resonator with a fluid flow is solved using numerical methods. It is shown that the distribution of the bubble concentration, which is nonuniform over the resonator length, is formed upon homogeneous introduction of bubbles. The problem on the bubble concentration distribution the along the resonator axis (with fluctuations of the bubble introduction period taken into account) is considered, and the fluctuation parameters are determined at which the periodic structure of the concentration distribution is preserved. The distribution of bubbles with different sizes over the resonator length is determined. It is shown that a resonator with a fluid flow accomplishes bubble selection by size (the average bubble concentration in the resonator increases with an increase in bubble size). The field in the resonator was calculated taking into account the effect of bubbles on sound velocity and damping.     

过热液体中蒸汽泡上升过程的格子Boltzmann三维数值模拟

应用格子Boltzmann相变模型,在三维空间研究蒸汽泡在过热液体中生长、上升和变形等动力学行为.为研究传热传质对蒸汽泡运动的影响,对比模拟相同条件下气泡在等温环境中上升的物理过程.结果表明：蒸汽泡在过热液体中上升发生的变形程度较小,意味着相变对蒸汽泡的影响和表面张力一样使汽泡保持初始的形状.蒸汽泡在过热液体中的上升速度较小,说明随着汽泡生长拖拽力的影响比浮力大.蒸汽泡生长率在初始阶段达到最大值,随后会趋于一个恒定的值.随着汽泡体积增大和上升速度的增加,其对流场的扰动也越来越剧烈.蒸汽泡生长和上升引起的对流运动对温度场的演化造成很大的影响.     

Conical bubble photoluminescence from rhodamine 6G in 1, 2-propanediol

A modified U-tube conical bubble sonoluminescence device is used to study the conical bubble photoluminescence. The spectra of conical bubble sonoluminescence at different concentrations of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) solution in 1,2-propanediol have been measured. Results show that the sonoluminescence from the conical bubbles can directly excite Rh6G, which in turn can fluoresce. The light emission of this kind is referred to as conical bubble photoluminescence. The maximum of fluorescence spectral line intensity in the conical bubble photoluminescence has a red shift in relative to that of the standard photo-excited fluorescence, which is due to the higher self-absorption of Rh6G, and the spectral line of conical bubble photoluminescence is broadened in width compared with that of photo-excited fluorescence.

复杂微通道内气泡在浮力作用下上升行为的格子Boltzmann方法模拟

本文采用气-液两相流格子Boltzmann方法模拟了复杂微通道内气泡在浮力作用下的上升过程,主要研究障碍物表面润湿性、浮力大小、障碍物尺寸和气泡初始位置对气泡变形、分裂、合并的动力学行为以及对气泡上升速度、终端速度和气泡剩余质量的运动特性的影响.研究发现,障碍物表面接触角较小时气泡能够完整地通过障碍物通道,随着障碍物表面接触角增加,气泡通过障碍物通道时严重变形,并会发生分裂行为,使得部分气泡黏附在障碍物表面,从而导致气泡到达终端时质量减少.相应地,气泡上升速度以及终端速度也随着微通道表面接触角的增加而减小.另一方面,随着浮力的增加,气泡在上升过程中更容易发生分裂和合并现象,且气泡剩余质量和终端速度随着浮力的增加呈对数形式增加.此外,随着微通道障碍物半径增加,气泡剩余质量首先缓慢减小然后快速减小,而气泡终端速度近似呈线性减小.最后,数值结果还表明当气泡初始位置偏离管道中间时,其上升速度、气泡剩余质量以及气泡终端速度都与初始位置在管道中间时的变化趋势一致,然而对应的数值均减小,且气泡在上升过程中变形更严重.

Inflation of small true vacuum bubble by quantization of Einstein-Hilbert action

We study the quantization of the Einstein-Hilbert action for a small true vacuum bubble without matter or scalar field. The quantization of action induces an extra term of potential called quantum potential in Hamilton-Jacobi equation, which gives expanding solutions, including the exponential expansion solutions of the scalar factor a for the bubble. We show that exponential expansion of the bubble continues with a short period, no matter whether the bubble is closed, flat, or open. The exponential expansion ends spontaneously when the bubble becomes large, that is, the scalar factor a of the bubble approaches a Planck length lp. We show that it is the quantum potential of the small true vacuum bubble that plays the role of the scalar field potential suggested in the slow-roll inflation model. With the picture of quantum tunneling, we calculate particle creation rate during inflation, which shows that particles created by inflation have the capability of reheating the universe.     

On the thermodynamic behaviors and interactions between bubble pairs: A numerical approach

Thermodynamic behaviors and interactions between bubble pairs are important to better understand the cavitation phenomena. In this study, a compressible two-phase model, accounting for thermal effects to investigate the thermodynamic behaviors and interactions between bubble pairs, is developed in OpenFOAM. The volume of fluid (VOF) method is adopted to capture the interface. Validations are performed by comparing the simulation results of a single bubble and bubble pairs with corresponding experimental data. The dynamical behaviors of bubble pairs and their thermodynamic effect at different relative distances γ are investigated and discussed, which help reveal the bubble cloud dynamics. The quantitative analysis of γ effects on the maximum temperature during bubble collapse is performed with three distinct stages identified. For a single bubble collapsing near the rigid surface, the thermodynamic characteristics at different relative distances are similar to that of the bubble pairs, but the maximum temperature is higher since the single bubble can collapse to a smaller volume.

基于气泡边界层理论,引入黏性修正,采用边界积分法,考虑黏性效应和表面张力在单气泡以及双气泡耦合作用过程中的影响.首先将建立的数值模型与Rayleigh-Plesset的解析解进行对比,发现二者符合良好,验证了数值模型的有效性;在此基础上,建立考虑流体弱黏性效应的双气泡耦合模型,研究流体黏性和表面张力作用下,气泡表面变形、射流速度、流场能量转换等物理量的变化规律;最后研究雷诺数和韦伯数对于气泡脉动特性的影响规律.结果表明,流体黏性会抑制气泡脉动和气泡射流发展,降低气泡半径和射流速度;表面张力不改变气泡脉动幅值,但缩短了脉动周期,提升气泡势能.     

光在水中吸附膜层气泡上的散射特性

光在水中大尺度气泡上散射特性的研究多是基于Davis模型.该模型没有考虑到吸附膜层对光在气泡上散射的影响,而海水中的大多数气泡都有膜层附着,这些膜层会影响到气泡的光散射特性.本文从几何光学的角度出发,建立了吸附膜层气泡的体积散射函数简化公式.在此理论基础上,模拟计算了尺度远大于入射光波长的大气泡散射光强分布曲线,得出光照射下气泡上散射光强的远场特性,讨论了影响气泡散射光强分布的主要因素.并与无膜气泡光散射分布曲线比较,讨论了油膜膜厚、折射率等参量对气泡的光散射特性影响.得出结论:吸附膜层气泡的光强分布曲线与无膜气泡相似,但吸附膜层会削弱前向散射光,增强后向散射光.

Modified Bubble Core Fields and Bubble Shape in Laser Driven Plasma

Bubble core fields as well bubble shape modification due to the nondepleted electrons inside the bubble is investigated theoretically. It is found that the slope of transverse fields are reduced significantly, however, the slope of longitudinal electric field, which plays a key role on electrons acceleration in bubble, changes little. Moreover a modified longitudinal compressed bubble shape leads to a shorter dephasing distance which makes the electrons acceleration energy reduced to some extent. As a comparison we perform particle-in-cell simulations whose results are consistent with that of our theoretical consideration.
