表面活性剂溶液与壁面纵向微沟槽协同减阻研究

采用直接数值模拟方法对表面活性剂溶液在不同尺寸宽肋矩形微沟槽通道内的湍流流动进行了数值模拟研究。结果表明表面活性剂溶液的减阻性能在合适尺寸的微沟槽通道内能进一步得到强化,同时微沟槽的最优减阻尺寸在表面活性剂溶液中也可以得到放大;表面活性剂溶液在微沟槽通道内的协同减阻强化效果是由微沟槽的“约束作用”和“尖峰作用”这两个主要因素相互博弈的结果。微沟槽尖峰处具有较高的剪切应力,槽谷内部剪切应力很小。当微沟槽能有效防止近壁湍流涡侵入槽谷内部,且又能对部分流向涡的展向运动起到较好的约束作用时,微沟槽将表现出减阻强化性能,反之则会出现增阻性能。微沟槽在槽谷内诱导的数量多、尺寸小且旋转强度弱的二次流向涡是其在表面活性剂溶液中能增大“约束作用”和发挥减阻强化性能的本质因素。     

壁面微沟槽与表面活性剂耦合对管道中湍流减阻特性的影响

通过矩形管道压降实验研究了壁面微沟槽和表面活性剂的减阻性能及联合减阻的增益效果,用粒子成像测速仪分析了流场特性。实验所用的微沟槽为3种不同结构的顺流向V形沟槽,表面活性剂为十六烷基三甲基氯化胺(CTAC),水杨酸钠(NaSal)作为补偿离子。结果表明,壁面微沟槽和表面活性剂溶液均有减阻效果,二者耦合后减阻率进一步提升,最高减阻率为48.26%。微沟槽的减阻性能主要作用在近壁区,通过影响边界层平均流速、速度脉动强度和涡结构,减少表面活性剂的湍动能损耗。当超过表面活性剂的临界雷诺数后,沟槽尖端的高剪切力会加剧胶束结构分解。表面活性剂能抑制湍流涡的演变,扩大微沟槽有效减阻的雷诺数范围。     

电场对竖直矩形微槽群润湿及表面温度的影响

微槽群在热流密度较大时会达到其毛细极限,可通过主动换热方式之一——电水动力学效应对其进行强化。本文为了研究电场对微槽群表面润湿特性和温度分布的影响,采用平板电极提供电场,蒸馏水作为工质,使用高速相机拍摄微槽内液体润湿长度,测量误差为2.97%～7.46%;使用红外热像仪拍摄电场作用下微槽群表面温度分布,测量误差为2.1%～2.39%。热流密度测量误差范围是9.66%～11.11%。结果表明：电场通过驱动微槽内流体向加热区域流动而提升其润湿性能,且较低热流密度下提升更好。因润湿性能的提升,微槽表面温度得以下降。随着电场增强,微槽横向温度分布的“波峰”、“波谷”差别加大,微槽纵向温度明显降低。当热流密度加大时,温降更为显著,1.4W/cm²热流密度、6kV电压下温降可达到30℃以上。温降的增加反映了电场对微槽的强化润湿进一步提升了微槽换热性能,且电场对较高热流情形下的微槽换热有着更为显著的强化效果。     

Surface microstructure evolution of Cf/SiC ceramic matrix composite microgrooves processed by ultrafast laser

Modern aviation components have higher requirements for high temperature resistance, high strength and lightweight materials, and ceramic matrix composites have superior overall performance. However, its high brittleness and anisotropy lead to a challenge for manufacturing. In order to understand the formation conditions and the evolution of surface microstructures of the C_f/SiC microgrooves processed by ultrafast laser comprehensively, we designed a single-factor experiment and performed sensitivity analysis. The experiment results showed that the pulse energy had great effects on the depth of the microgroove, and the intense ablation caused more active oxidation of SiC to occur, generating more SiO(g). However, too much pulse energy may cause the material removal mechanism to be more due to the photothermal effect rather than the plasma effect. Low repetition frequency caused a large number of laminated connections in the microgroove and the oxide gradually changed from lumpy to flocculent as the repetition frequency increased. The more scanning times, the more ablation products sputtered onto the sample surface, including unablated carbon fibers. Shallow depth and ablation residues remained in the microgroove occurred under few scanning times. Although too fast scanning speed leaded to a rapid decrease in the microgroove depth, too slow scanning speed also generated more unablated carbon fibers sputtering out of the microgrooves. The microgroove depth had the highest sensitivity to the repetition frequency, followed by the pulse energy and scanning speed. The pulse energy and scanning speed had a greater effect on the oxide layer height, the repetition frequency affected the oxide layer width, and the scanning speed affected the microgroove width significantly. According to the processing requirements and the hot spot map, the processing parameters that can be adjusted effectively will be able to be obtained.

Time‐series and extended Karhunen–Loève analysis of turbulent drag reduction in polymer solutions

Direct numerical simulations and statistical analysis techniques are used to study the drag‐reducing effect of polymer additives on turbulent channel flow in minimal domains. Additionally, a new formulation of Karhunen–Loève decomposition for viscoelastic flows is introduced, allowing the dominant features of the polymer stress fields to be characterized. In minimal channels, there are intervals of “active” and “hibernating” turbulence that display very different structural and energetic characteristics; the present work illustrates how the statistics of these intervals evolve over the entire range of drag reduction (DR) levels. The effect of viscoelasticity on minimal channel turbulence is twofold: first, it strongly suppresses the active turbulent dynamics that predominate in Newtonian flow and second, at sufficiently high Weissenberg number it stabilizes the dynamics of hibernating turbulence, allowing it to predominate in the maximum drag reduction regime. In this regime, the stress fluctuations become delocalized from the wall region, encompassing the entire flow domain. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 1460–1475, 2014     

表面活性剂湍流减阻研究进展

表面活性剂较高分子聚合物在流体管道输运中具有可逆机械降解特性的优点,更适用于存在高剪切的场合以及封闭的循环回路进行减阻,但存在对其复杂流变特性及减阻机理认识不完善的问题,使得其在减阻领域的应用受到了限制。本文回顾了作者近年来在表面活性剂溶液微观结构、复杂流变学特性、湍流结构以及其与减阻和传热性能之间的内在联系方面的研究进展;介绍了表面活性剂减阻和壁面微沟槽协同作用减阻的研究成果;指出通过拉伸流的方式能够在压损较小的情况下更有效地提高表面活性剂溶液的传热性能。针对表面活性剂现有研究的不足,本文提出4条建议作为表面活性剂的未来研究方向,分别为开发环境友好型高效表面活性减阻剂、强化换热装置的优化设计及优化布置、表面活性剂与其他减阻方式耦合特性的深入研究以及表面活性剂在尺度放大、防腐和减阻持久性方面的实际工业应用研究。     

Controllable fabrication of micro/nanostructures by electrospinning from polystyrene/poly(vinyl alcohol) emulsion dispersions

In this article, controllable micro/nanostructures were successfully obtained by electrospinning with the emulsion dispersions of polystyrene and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PS/PVA). The micro/nanostructure of electrospun PS/PVA emulsion dispersions such as corn‐like, spindle‐like, and bowl‐like (or bracelet‐like) were precisely controlled by regulating the electrospun parameters including the surfactant, the applied voltages, and the compositions of PS/PVA emulsion dispersions. The non‐ionic surfactant (Poloxamer) was crucial for the stability of the PS/PVA emulsion dispersions although the surfactant in PS/PVA emulsion was in tiny amount. The high applied voltages were beneficial for the forming the “lined‐fiber” structure but not for spheroids structure (bracelet‐like structure). Moreover, the increasing content of PS in PS/PVA emulsion resulted in more spheroid structure than the “lined‐fiber.” This work was meaningful for the forming mechanism of micro/nanostructure in emulsion electrospinning and made a potential contribution for controllable fabrication of micro/nanostructure of the electrospun PS/PVA emulsion dispersions. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of multi‐hollow opaque polymer pigments

A new generation multihollow opaque polymer pigment was synthesized by suspension polymerization of “water‐in‐oil‐in‐water” emulsion method, where methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomer mixture was used as oil phase. The effects of surfactant and cosurfactant composition in terms of “hydrophilic/lipophilic balance” on the stability of the “water‐in‐oil” emulsion and the size of water droplets were studied. Low droplet sizes and the optimum stability were obtained with “Span 80&Tween 80” surfactant mixture at an HLB value of 8. The desired size distribution was obtained at “monomer/surfactant/water” ratio of 75.5/9.4/15.1 at an ultrasonic mixing power of 80 W lasting for 30 s. The surface morphology and hollow structure of polymer pigments were analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques. L*a*b color and gloss properties of polymer pigments were examined. The opacity values were assessed by contrast ratio measurements, and the pigments provided up to 97.3% opacity with 50% v/v solid content in resin. In addition, the pigments exhibited low gloss values and yielded matte films. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133, 43696.     

电场作用下矩形微槽群润湿特性数值分析

以预测电场作用下竖直矩形微槽群热沉内液体润湿特性为目的,基于自适应理论,建立一维轴向模型,研究了电场强度、热通量以及微槽尺寸对润湿特性的影响。结果表明：电场作用下润湿长度随热通量增加逐渐降低。当热通量较低时,电场强度对润湿长度的强化较大,但随着热通量的增大强化程度减弱。电场强度对矩形微槽群热沉适应长度的强化较小,而对于边角流动区域长度的强化较为显著。电场作用下润湿长度随槽深和槽宽的增加分别呈增加和下降的趋势。与较小槽深槽宽相比,当槽尺寸较大时,电场强度对微槽内液体润湿强化更为显著。     

Initial Deposition of Colloidal Particles on a Rough Nanofiltration Membrane

The initial rate of colloid deposition onto semi‐permeable membranes is largely controlled by the coupled influence of permeation drag and particle‐membrane colloidal interactions. Recent studies show that the particle‐membrane interactions are subject to immense local variations due to the inherent morphological heterogeneity (roughness) of reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes. This experimental investigation reports the effect of membrane roughness on the initial deposition of polystyrene latex particles on a rough NF membrane during cross flow membrane filtration under different operating pressures and solution chemistries. Atomic force microscopy was used to characterize the roughness of the membrane and observe the structure of particle deposits. At the initial stages of fouling, the AFM images show that more particles preferentially accumulate near the “peaks” than in the “valleys” of the rough NF membrane surface.     

DIRECT NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF VORTEX STRUCTURES AND PARTICLE DISPERSION IN TURBULENT FREE SHEAR FLOWS

In order to provide references for the study of jets from combustor and associated industrial applications, direct numerical simulation was employed to study a three-dimensional temporally evolving plane mixing layer laden with particles in the upper region initially. The coherent structures in the mixing layer between two parallel streams were simulated using a pseudo-spectral method. Particles with different Stokes numbers were traced using the Lagrangian approach based on one-way coupling between the continuous and the dispersed phases. Both the large-scale vortex structures and the particle dispersion patterns with different Stokes numbers were investigated. The results clearly showed that particle dispersion is closely related to the large-scale organized structures and the three-dimensionality. Particles with Stokes number of the order of unity were found to have the largest concentration on the outer edges of the large-scale vortex structures, and the variation of particle concentration along the spanwise direction increased with the development of the three-dimensionality, which was mainly due to the presence of the streamwise large-scale structures. When the counter-rotating “rib” large-scale vortices paired, part of the particles were thrown out from the high concentration area in the upper region to the lower region of the mixing layer and finally developed into a “mushroom” pattern of the particle distribution along the spanwise direction.     

受限微结构对低表面张力液滴合并弹跳的影响

Combined effects of temperature and Reynolds number on drag‐reducing characteristics of a cationic surfactant solution

The drag‐reducing characteristics in the turbulent channel flow of dilute cationic surfactant solution, cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC)/sodium salicylate (NaSal) aqueous solution, were experimentally investigated in a closed loop fluid flow facility at different temperatures. The mass concentrations of the surfactant solution ranged from 75 to 200 ppm, and the temperatures ranged from 15 to 55°C. The cationic surfactant solution showed a great drag‐reducing ability, which was greatly affected by concentration, temperature, and Reynolds number. It was found that there existed a critical temperature T_c in each solution at different concentrations. Above T_c, drag‐reduction level decreases and reaches the behaviour of water flow without drag‐reducing ability. A new temperature parameters T_f, was proposed, and the difference between T_c and T_f can represent the effective temperature range for the drag reduction at a certain Reynolds number. The variation tendency of T_f and T_c with Reynolds numbers can give the guidance of selecting effective drag reduction range to the practical application in the district heating systems (DHS). It was supposed that temperature and shear stress are two kind of energy applied on the surfactant microstructure, which can be helpful to the surfactant network formation or dissociation depending on their values. © 2011 Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering     

Numerical study of particle–particle collision in swirling jets: A DEM–DNS coupling simulation

The particle–particle collisions in swirling jets are studied by a coupling method of discrete element method (DEM, a hard-sphere approach) and direct numerical simulation (DNS). The characteristics of distribution of collision in configuration and velocity spaces are investigated in detail through probability density functions (PDFs) in the generalized coordinates. The dependency of particle–particle collision on turbulence characteristics, such as turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), dissipation rate (TDR), fluctuation, and correlated fluctuations, is studied by exploring the PDFs and the correlations between them. The results show that the spatial distribution of particle–particle collision in swirling jets is highly dependent on the Stokes numbers. For small particles, collision is dominated by the enclosure of bubble vortices whereas for large particles it is mainly determined by the configuration of the flow domain. The distribution of collision in velocity space has corresponding features of dependency on the particle property. Small particles are most probable to collide with each other near zero streamwise velocity within the recirculation zone, whereas large particles are most probable to take collision with their axial velocities close to the inflow velocity of fluid. The dependency of collision on TKE and TDR is fairly complicated. For example, for Stokes number slightly less than unity and far larger than unity, collision is relatively well-correlated to TKE, resulting in an augmented effect of turbulence modulation. It is investigated in detail and the physical mechanisms are well interpreted. Finally, the correlation between the PDF of collision and fluctuations of turbulence indicates that collision probability is positively correlated to the normal components of Reynolds stress tensor, but negatively correlated to the shearing components of Reynolds stress tensor.     

Numerical studies on effects of bubbles regular array on the liquid‐phase turbulence

It is well known that additive drag‐reducing methods have broadly developing prospects, so studies on mechanisms of additive drag reduction are very necessary. We hypothesised that the main reason for bubbles induced drag reduction is the modification on liquid‐phase turbulence structure by the addition of bubbles, and therefore such modification is the focus of our investigation. In this paper, effects of bubbles on liquid‐phase turbulence under the circumstance of regular bubble array were investigated by using Euler–Lagrange two‐way numerical simulations. The liquid‐phase velocity field was solved by using direct numerical simulations (DNS) in Euler frame of reference, and the bubble motion was tracked by using Newtonian motion equations that took into account interaction forces including drag force, shear lift force, gravity force, buoyant force, and inertia force in Lagrange frame of reference. The coupling between the phases was realised by regarding the interphase forces as momentum source terms of the continuous phase. Similarities and differences for effects of bubbles and surfactants on liquid turbulent flows were also analysed. The study indicated that addition of bubbles enhances the mean streamwise velocity, greatly reduces the Reynolds stress, and shows anisotropic suppression to the velocity fluctuations. The interphase force has a great influence on budget of energy balance. It is a gain term near the wall and is a loss term in a wide range of the channel core.

CFD Simulations of a Bubble Column Operating in the Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Flow Regimes

Bubble columns are operated either in the homogeneous or heterogeneous flow regime. In the homogeneous flow regime, the bubbles are nearly uniform in size and shape. In the heterogeneous flow regime, a distribution of bubble sizes exists. In this paper, a CFD model is developed to describe the hydrodynamics of bubble columns operating in either of the two flow regimes. The heterogeneous flow regime is assumed to consist of two bubble classes: “small” and “large” bubbles. For the air‐water system, appropriate drag relations are suggested for these two bubble classes. Interactions between both bubble populations and the liquid are taken into account in terms of momentum exchange, or drag‐, coefficients, which differ for the “small” and “large” bubbles. Direct interactions between the large and small bubble phases are ignored. The turbulence in the liquid phase is described using the k‐ϵ model. For a 0.1 m diameter column operating with the air‐water system, CFD simulations have been carried out for superficial gas velocities, U, in the range 0.006–0.08 m/s, spanning both regimes. These simulations reveal some of the characteristic features of homogeneous and heterogeneous flow regimes, and of regime transition.     

Numerical Simulation of Particle Segregation in Bubbling Gas‐Fluidized Beds

A multi‐fluid Eulerian model incorporating the kinetic theory of granular flow is used for the simulation of bubbling fluidized beds containing a binary mixture of Geldart B particles at low gas velocities. The cases of density, size and combined density/size segregation are investigated using computational fluid dynamic simulations. Various expressions for the drag force are evaluated for predicting different segregations. The simulation results show that summation of the particle‐particle drag force, i.e., the “hindrance effect” term, and the Stokes drag of particles, which is modified based on the Wen‐Yu drag model can be used for accurate simulation of a binary mixture of particles differing in size, density, or both. Bed expansion and dimensionless axial segregation profiles of CFD results are compared with the experimental data and good agreement is found.
