Study of atmospheric-turbulence effects on the formation of a thermal film in the near-surface water layer and the dynamics of air-water heat exchange using measurements of thermal radio emission

On the basis of radiometric measurements of thermal radio emission from water at wavelengths 2.3 and 5 mm, we study the dynamics of heat and mass transfer through a water-air boundary, which is related to atmospheric turbulence, and reconstruct the behavior of the water-temperature profile and the heat flux through this boundary. The heat-flux components due to evaporation and thermal conductivity and the evaporation rate from unit surface are determined. Turbulence-induced variations in the depth of the atmospheric viscous sublayer are studied. Statistical parameters of the water-surface temperature variations are calculated. We find that these variations were much greater than the turbulent fluctuations of the air temperature under the measurement conditions.

Heat transfer in locally heated liquid films moving under the action of gravity and gas flow

Heat transfer in a viscous liquid film moving under the action of gravity and a gas flow on a substrate with a locally heated rectangular area is investigated. The heat exchange coefficient is given on the liquid-gas surface; the heat flux to the liquid is given on the heated area; the substrate surface outside the heated area is heat-insulated. An analytical solution in a form of a convergent series is obtained for the liquid temperature distribution in the film. The influence of the dimensionless criteria on the obtained solution is analyzed. The effect of heat flux inhomogeneity on the temperature distribution is considered.

Deformation of viscoelastic coating in a turbulent flow

The rate and amplitude of compliant coating deformation by turbulent pressure pulsations were calculated. Complex compliance determined by a 2D model has two components: along and across the coating. Dependence of the components of dimensionless compliance on the wavelength — coating thickness ratio was determined for 0.3 < λ/H < 30 and dependence of these components on the ratio of flow velocity to velocity of wave propagation was determined for 0.1 < V/C < 10. Deformation amplitude and rate of surface displacement for the hard compliant coatings which can be used in practice were calculated within the range of 5–55 m/s for the water and air turbulent flow. The effects of the loss tangent and Poisson’s ratio of the coating material were also studied. It is shown that the mean-square displacement of their surface does not exceed the thickness of a viscous sublayer. However, the velocity of surface motion is comparable with velocity pulsations in a boundary layer near a wall. This can be a reason for drag reduction on a compliant wall. The calculated value of ratio between energy absorbed by the wall and energy dissipated within the flow because of drag was 10⁻⁴ for water and 10⁻⁶ for air. This estimate does not confirm the hypothesis explaining drag reduction by energy takeoff from the flow.     

Laser-induced optical recording in thin films

A model is presented to describe the hole opening in ablative optical recording. The model accounts for changes in geometry of the sensitive film, for adhesion of the film to the substrate, for surface tension gradients in the sensitive film and for evaporation or sublimation at the film-substrate interface. The changes in geometry during hole opening are shown to be responsible for an energy barrierF _act=10^?16 to 10^?15 J, corresponding to 1.5–6J/cm³ which is much too large to make thermal activation of hole opening possible.F _act is reduced by surface tension gradients in the liquid film and/or evaporation at the filmsubstrate interface. The predictions of the model are compared with laser recording experiments performed with Te-alloy films on various polymer sublayers. Experiments and model show that the threshold energyE _th for hole opening (andF _act) can be reduced by (i) lowering the surface tension and/or polarity of the polymer sublayer, (ii) reducing the dynamic work of adhesion, e.g. by decreasing the crosslink density or the mean molecular weight of the sublayer, and (iii) increasing the concentration of low molecular weight material in the sublayer, which reduces the adhesion of the film and stimulates evaporation at the interface.     

微液膜动力学特性与稳定性实验研究

气-液两相流设备的性能受限于临界热流密度,开展流动微液膜动力学特性及其稳定性的相关研究是深入理解沸腾危机及临界热流密度机理的关键。采用光学玻璃制成的矩形通道作为实验段,使用微流量齿轮泵驱动去离子水,使其在实验通道入口处与在其上部流动的压缩空气接触形成同向流动的分层流。利用共轭光学探测器对流动微液膜的厚度进行了测量,利用高速摄像机对气-液两相分层流波动特性进行了可视化观测。研究表明,在绝热情况下,当液速一定时,液膜的平均厚度随着气速增加而减小,当气速增加到某一阈值时会导致液膜破裂。     

液滴撞击加热壁面传热实验研究

本文采用高速摄像仪对水滴和乙醇液滴撞击加热壁面后的蒸发过程进行了实验观测, 分析了液滴撞击加热壁面后的蒸发特性参数. 实验中, 两种液体初始温度均为20 ℃, 不锈钢壁面初始温度范围为68-126℃. 水滴初始直径为2.07 mm, 撞击壁面时Weber 数为2-44; 乙醇液滴初始直径为1.64 mm, Weber数为3-88. 结果表明, 液滴受到重力、表面张力及流动性的影响, 在蒸发过程的大部分时间内, 水滴高度持续降低而接触直径几乎不变; 蒸发后期, 液滴发生回缩, 水滴的接触直径、高度和接触角出现振荡现象. 乙醇液滴的接触角随时间的增加呈现先减小随后保持不变的趋势, 而接触直径和高度则持续减小, 直到液滴完全蒸发. 液滴蒸发总时长与液体物性和壁面温度有关, 随壁面温度的升高而减小, 与液滴撞击壁面时的Weber 数无关. 同时, 随着壁面温度的升高, 液滴显热部分占总换热量的比重增大, 显热部分能量不可忽略, 本文实验条件下得到水滴的平均热流密度为0.014-0.110 W·mm^-2.

Investigation of transient processes at liquid boiling under nonstationary heat generation conditions

The paper presents results on experimentally investigated dynamics of boiling development and formation of film boiling zones under stepwise heat generation on a horizontally and vertically oriented cylindrical surface in a large volume of Freon-21. Experimental data on the expectation time and boiling temperature, the propagation velocity and structure of evaporation and boiling fronts for different heat flux density both in saturated liquid and in subcooling conditions are obtained. Results of experiments on investigating the nucleation forms under development of nonstationary heat release crisis caused by heat loading on the vertical heater immersed into the volume of liquid (water, ethanol) subcooled to saturation temperature are presented. A calculation ratio for determining the expectation time to the beginning of intense vaporization in water is proposed and compared with experimental data obtained on surfaces with different-size roughness. Peculiarities of evolution of evaporation fronts from incipient bubbles are investigated in the experiments with ethanol. Data on the evaporation front velocity as a function of wall overheating are obtained. The obtained experimental data on the propagation velocity of self-sustained evaporation fronts are compared with the known calculated data.     

纳米尺度下气泡核化生长的分子动力学研究

采用分子动力学方法模拟纳米尺度下液体在固体壁面上发生核化沸腾的过程,主要研究壁面浸润性对气泡初始核化过程和气泡生长速率的影响以及固-液界面效应在液体核化沸腾的能量传递过程中所起到的作用.研究结果发现：壁面浸润性越强,气泡在固壁处越容易核化.该结果与经典核化理论中“疏水壁面易于产生气泡”的现象产生了明显的区别.其根本原因是在纳米尺度下,固-液界面热阻效应不能被忽略.一方面,在相同的壁温下,通过增强固-液相互作用,可以显著降低界面热阻,使得热量传递效率提高,导致靠近壁面处的流体温度升高,气泡核化等待时间缩短,有利于液体沸腾核化.另一方面,气泡的生长速率随着壁面浸润性的增强而明显升高.当气泡体积生长到一定程度时,会在壁面处形成气膜,从而导致壁面传热性能恶化.因此,通过壁面的热流密度呈现出先增大后减小的规律.     

Lubricant film flow and depletion characteristics at head/disk storage interface

The characteristics of lubricant film at head/disk interface(HDI) are essential to the stability of hard disk drives. In this study, the theoretical models of the lubricant flow and depletion are deduced based on Navier–Stokes(NS) and continuity equations. The air bearing pressure on the surface of the lubrication film is solved by the modified Reynolds equation based on Fukui and Kaneko(FK) model. Then the lubricant film deformations for a plane slider and double-track slider are obtained. The equation of lubricant film thickness is deduced with the consideration of van der Waals force, the air bearing pressure, the surface tension, and the external stresses. The lubricant depletion under heat source is simulated and the effects of different working conditions including initial thickness, flying height and the speed of the disk on lubricant depletion are discussed. The main factors that cause the lubricant flow and depletion are analyzed and the ways to reduce the film thickness deformation are proposed. The simulation results indicate that the shearing stress is the most important factor that causes the thickness deformation and other terms listed in the equation have little influence. The thickness deformation is dependent on the working parameter, and the thermal condition evaporation is the most important factor.     

Simulation of viscous flows with undulatory boundaries: Part II. Coupling with other solvers for two-fluid computations

We extend the direct numerical simulation (DNS) capability developed in [D. Yang, L. Shen, Simulation of viscous flows with undulatory boundaries: Part I. Basic solver, J. Comput. Phys. (submitted for publication) ] to the simulation of two-fluid interaction with deformable interface. Two approaches are used to couple the DNS of one fluid with the simulation of another fluid. In the first, the DNS is coupled with a potential-flow based wave solver that uses a high-order spectral (HOS) method. This coupled method is applied to simulate the interaction of turbulent wind with surface waves, including single wave train and broadband wavefield. Validation with previous theoretical and experimental studies shows the accuracy and efficiency of this coupled DNS-HOS method for capturing the essential physics of wind–wave interaction. In the second approach, both of the fluids are simulated by the DNS and are coupled by an efficient iterative scheme, in which the continuity of velocity and the balance of stress are enforced at the interface. The performance of this coupled DNS–DNS method is demonstrated and validated by several test cases including: interfacial wave between two viscous fluids, water surface wave over highly viscous mud flow with interfacial wave, and interaction of two-phase vortex pairs with a deformable interface. Comparison with existing theoretical and numerical results confirms the accuracy of this coupled DNS–DNS method. Finally, this method is applied to study the interaction of air and water turbulence. The nonlinear development of interfacial wave by the excitation of the air and water turbulence, and the wave effect on the instantaneous and statistical characteristics of the turbulence are elucidated.     

Evaporation of a particle into chemically reactive carrier gas

After a general discussion and classification of physicochemical processes contributing to aerosol particle formation, evaporation of a particle into chemically active carrier gas is studied in more detail. The vapor flux from the particle surface is shown to increase if the carrier gas contains components reacting with the evaporated molecules. A method for determining the chemical correction to the Maxwell formula for evaporated flux is proposed. The correction to the heat balance of the evaporation process due to heat production by the chemical reaction is considered. The temperature of the particle is found to depend on the total evaporated flux, specific heat of the reaction, and the latent heat of evaporation. Main results are listed in the concluding part of the paper.     

Investigation of the third heat transfer crisis on a vertical surface

The process of development of the third heat transfer crisis for vertical orientation of the heating surface was studied experimentally. Experiments were carried out with acetone under the conditions of saturation for the pressures in the working volume from 20 to 28 kPa. In all experiments, the third heat transfer crisis was preceded by propagation of evaporation front along the heating surface. The threshold values of heat flux densities, above which a stable vapor film is formed on the whole heating surface, are lower for vertical orientation of this heating surface than for the horizontal one. Data on the threshold heat flux densities and overheating before boiling-up were obtained. Above these values, formation of evaporation fronts was observed. The range of operation parameters corresponding to formation of the sites of unstable film boiling on the heating surface after boiling-up was determined.     

Experimental investigation of heat transfer in a rivulet on the inclined foil

Heat transfer at rivulet water flow over the constantan foil with the length of 80 mm, width of 35 mm, and thickness of 25 mm was studied experimentally. The foil surface temperature was measured by an IR-scanner. Distributions of heat flux density on the surface of the foil, where the liquid flowed, were obtained. To determine the heat flux density from the foil to liquid near the contact line, the Cauchy problem was solved for the stationary heat equation using the thermographic data. Calculation results showed that the maximal heat flux occurs in the area of the contact line and exceeds the average heat flux from the entire foil surface by several times. This is explained by the influx of heat from the periphery of foil to the rivulet due to the relatively high value of heat conductivity coefficient of the foil material and high evaporation rate in the region of the contact line.
