This article presents the bubble breakup in viscous liquids at a microfluidic T-junction. Nitrogen is used as the gas phase, and glycerol-water mixtures with different mass concentration of glycerol as the liquid phase. The evolution of the gas−liquid interface during bubble breakup at the microfluidic T-junction is explored. The thinning of the bubble neck includes the squeezing stage and the rapid pinch-off stage. In the squeezing stage, the power law relation is found between the minimum width of the bubble neck and the time, and the values of exponents α1 and α2 are influenced by the viscous force. The values of pre-factors m_(1) and m_(2) are negatively correlated with the capillary number. In the rapid pinch-off stage, the thinning of the bubble neck is predominated by the surface tension, and the minimum width of the bubble neck can be scaled with the remaining time as power-law. The propagation of the bubble tip can be characterized by the power law between the movement distance and the time, with decreasing exponent as increased liquid viscosity.展开更多

文摘Spherical bubble oscillations are widely used to model cavitation phenomena in biomedical and naval hydrodynamic systems.During collapse,a sudden increase in surrounding pressure initiates the collapse of a cavitation bubble,followed by a rebound driven by the high internal gas pressure.While the ideal gas equation of state(EOS)is commonly used to describe the internal pressure and temperature of the bubble,it is limited in its capacity to capture molecular-level effects under highly compressed conditions.In the present study,we employ non-ideal EOS for the gas(the van der Waals EOS and its volume-limited case)to investigate bubble oscillations with a focus on energy redistribution.Bubble oscillation is modeled in two phases:collapse,described by the Keller−Miksis formulation,and rebound,where peak shock pressure is estimated using similitude-based relations.To assess the role of EOS in energy redistribution,we introduce a framework that quantifies energy components in the bubble−liquid system while conserving total energy,tailored to each EOS.Using this framework,we evaluate energy concentration,acoustic radiation,and shock propagation and statistically analyze their dependence on both the driving pressure and the EOS of gas.We statistically derive scaling relations of key bubble dynamics quantities,energy concentration and radiation,and shock pressure using the driving pressure ratio.This work provides a generalizable framework and set of scaling relations for predicting bubble dynamics and energy transfer,with potential applications in evaluating the impacts of cavitation phenomena in complex practical systems.

文摘This paper highlights the crucial role of Indonesia’s GNSS receiver network in advancing Equatorial Plasma Bubble(EPB)studies in Southeast and East Asia,as ionospheric irregularities within EPB can disrupt GNSS signals and degrade positioning accuracy.Managed by the Indonesian Geospatial Information Agency(BIG),the Indonesia Continuously Operating Reference Station(Ina-CORS)network comprises over 300 GNSS receivers spanning equatorial to southern low-latitude regions.Ina-CORS is uniquely situated to monitor EPB generation,zonal drift,and dissipation across Southeast Asia.We provide a practical tool for EPB research,by sharing two-dimensional rate of Total Electron Content(TEC)change index(ROTI)derived from this network.We generate ROTI maps with a 10-minute resolution,and samples from May 2024 are publicly available for further scientific research.Two preliminary findings from the ROTI maps of Ina-CORS are noteworthy.First,the Ina-CORS ROTI maps reveal that the irregularities within a broader EPB structure persist longer,increasing the potential for these irregularities to migrate farther eastward.Second,we demonstrate that combined ROTI maps from Ina-CORS and GNSS receivers in East Asia and Australia can be used to monitor the development of ionospheric irregularities in Southeast and East Asia.We have demonstrated the combined ROTI maps to capture the development of ionospheric irregularities in the Southeast/East Asian sector during the G5 Geomagnetic Storm on May 11,2024.We observed simultaneous ionospheric irregularities in Japan and Australia,respectively propagating northwestward and southwestward,before midnight,whereas Southeast Asia’s equatorial and low-latitude regions exhibited irregularities post-midnight.By sharing ROTI maps from Indonesia and integrating them with regional GNSS networks,researchers can conduct comprehensive EPB studies,enhancing the understanding of EPB behavior across Southeast and East Asia and contributing significantly to ionospheric research.

文摘During the continuous casting process of high-Mn high-Al steels,various types of gases such as Ar need to escape through the top of the mold.In which,the behavior of bubbles traversing the liquid slag serves as a restrictive link,closely associated with viscosity and the thickness of liquid slag.In contrast to two-dimensional surface observation,three-dimensional(3D)analysis method can offer a more intuitive,accurate,and comprehensive information.Therefore,this study employs a 3D X-ray microscope(3D-XRM)to obtained spatial distribution and 3D morphological characteristics of residual bubbles in mold flux under different basicity of liquid slag,different temperatures,and different holding times.The results indicate that as basicity of slag increases from 0.52 to 1.03,temperature increases from 1423 to 1573 K,the viscosity of slag decreases,the floating rate of bubbles increases.In addition,when holding time increases from 10 to 30 s,the bubbles floating distance increases,and the volume fraction and average equivalent sphere diameter of the bubbles solidified in the mold flux gradually decreases.In one word,increasing the basicity,temperature,and holding time leading to an increase in the removal rate of bubbles especially for the large.These findings of bubbles escape behavior provide valuable insights into optimizing low basicity mold flux for high-Mn high-Al steels.

文摘To analyze the impact of bubbles on the mechanical behavior of glasses,by controlling the refining time,we prepared three borosilicate glasses with the same composition and different porosity.By the analysis software integrated within the optical microscope,the diameter and number of the bubbles on the surface of three borosilicate glasses were quantified.From the hardness and crack initiation resistance(CR),we built the relationship between the porosity and the mechanical performance of these borosilicate glasses.
文摘In this paper,the failure caused by HRAM loads which were generated by high-speed projectile penetration,and protection technology of the fluid-filled structure were explored.A bubble was preset on the projectile trajectory in a fluid-filled structure.Based on the reflection and transmission phenomena of pressure waves at the gas-liquid interface and the compressibility characteristics of gases,a numerical analysis was conducted on the influence of preset bubble on projectile penetration and structural failure characteristics.The results indicate that the secondary water-entry impact phenomenon occurs when a preset bubble exists on the projectile trajectory,leading to the secondary water entry impact loads.The rarefaction waves reflected on the surface of the preset bubble cause the attenuation ratio of the initial impact pressure peak to reach 68.8%and the total specific impulse attenuation ratio to reach 48.6%.Furthermore,the larger the bubble,the faster the projectile,and the more obvious the attenuation effect.Moreover,due to the compressibility of the bubble,the global deformation attenuation ratio of the front and rear walls can reach over 80%.However,the larger the bubble size,the faster the projectile velocity,the smaller the local deformation attenuation effect of the rear wall,and the more severe the failure at the perforation of the rear wall.

文摘The internal pressure within fission gas bubbles(FGBs)in irradiated nuclear fuels drives mechanical interactions with the surrounding fuel skeleton.To investigate the micromechanical stress fields in irradiated nuclear fuels containing pressurized FGBs,a mechanical constitutive model for the equivalent solid of FGBs was developed and validated.This model was based on the modified Van der Waals equation,incorporating the effects of surface tension.Using this model,the micromechanical fields in irradiated U-10Mo fuels with randomly distributed FGBs were calculated during uniaxial tensile testing via the finite element(FE)method.The macroscopic elastic constants of the irradiated U-10Mo fuels were then derived using homogenization theory,and the influences of bubble pressure,bubble size,and porosity on these constants were examined.Results show that adjacent FGBs exhibit mechanical interactions,which leads to distinct stress concentrations in the surrounding fuel skeleton.The macroscopic elastic constants of irradiated U-10Mo fuels decrease with increasing the macroscopic porosity,which can be quantitatively described by the Mori-Tanaka model.In contrast,bubble pressure and size have negligible effects on these constants.

文摘Experiments were conducted to investigate the dynamics of an oscillating bubble generated by a spark in the presence of an inclined attached air bubble.The study primarily focused on the influence of the inclination angle on the behavior of bubble jetting orientation,air bubble shape modes,and motion characteristics of the interaction between the two bubbles.Various complex bubble jetting behaviors were observed,including the presence of multiple types of bubble jetting directions,bubble splitting,and multidirectional jets.Four types of air bubble shapes were defined,namely inclined cup cover-shaped(with and without splitting),double-peaked cup cover-shaped,and inclined L-shaped air bubbles.The formation of different types of bubble jets was analyzed using the vector synthesis principle of the Bjerknes force exerted by the inclined attached air bubble and a steel plate.To describe the diverse orientations of bubble jetting and air bubble shapes,new parameters namely the dimensionless spark bubble oscillation time T^(*)and volume ratio V^(*)that consider the inclination angle are proposed.The findings of this investigation contribute to the existing knowledge and have the potential to further enhance methods for mitigating cavitation damage in marine,hydraulic machinery systems,and medical fields.l fields.

文摘Chalcopyrite is often intergrown with talc,which,after grinding,forms ultrafine particles(<10μm)that readily coat chalcopyrite surfaces,hindering flotation and causing significant losses in tailings.This study evaluates polyvinyl acetate(PVAc),a thermoplastic polymer,as a selective flocculant to enhance reverse flot ation separation of chalcopyrite from ultrafine talc.Flotation tests showed that at a PVAc dosage of 40 mg/L,talc can be effectively and selectively removed,enabling efficient separation.Laser particle size analysis and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometry(SEM-EDS)confirmed that PVAc promotes selective talc aggregation without affecting chalcopyrite.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and density functional theory(DFT)calculations revealed that hydrogen bonding between PVAc ester groups and surface hydroxyls on talc drives the flocculation,while chalcopyrite lacks suitable binding sites.PVAc adsorption also enhances talc hydrophobicity.Furthermore,particle-bubble coverage angle measurements and extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek(DLVO)theory theoretical calculations demonstrated that PVAc-induced flocculation increases attractive interactions between talc and bubbles,shifting the total interaction energy from repulsive to attractive and promoting bubble-particle attachment.This study clarifies the selective adsorption and flocculation mechanisms of PVAc and reveals the coupling of flocculation and flotation of ultrafine talc from a particle-bubble capture perspective,while expanding the potential of ester-based polymers for ultrafine mineral recovery.

文摘Bubble breakup at T-junction microchannels is the basis for the numbering-up of gas−liquid two-phase flow in parallelized microchannels. This article presents the bubble breakup in viscous liquids at a microfluidic T-junction. Nitrogen is used as the gas phase, and glycerol-water mixtures with different mass concentration of glycerol as the liquid phase. The evolution of the gas−liquid interface during bubble breakup at the microfluidic T-junction is explored. The thinning of the bubble neck includes the squeezing stage and the rapid pinch-off stage. In the squeezing stage, the power law relation is found between the minimum width of the bubble neck and the time, and the values of exponents α1 and α2 are influenced by the viscous force. The values of pre-factors m_(1) and m_(2) are negatively correlated with the capillary number. In the rapid pinch-off stage, the thinning of the bubble neck is predominated by the surface tension, and the minimum width of the bubble neck can be scaled with the remaining time as power-law. The propagation of the bubble tip can be characterized by the power law between the movement distance and the time, with decreasing exponent as increased liquid viscosity.

文摘Unlike conventional spherical charges,a shaped charge generates not only a strong shock wave and a pulsating bubble,but also a high strain rate metal jet and a ballistic wave during the underwater explosion.They show significant characteristic differences and couple each other.This paper designs and conducts experiments with shaped charges to analyze the complicated process.The effects of liner angle and weight of shaped charge on the characteristics of metal jets,waves,and bubbles are discussed.It is found that in underwater explosions,the shaped charge generates the metal jet accompanied by the ballistic wave.Then,the shock wave propagates and superimposes with the ballistic wave,and the generated bubble pulsates periodically.It is revealed that the maximum head velocity of the metal jet versus the liner angle a and length-to-diameter ratio k of the shaped charge follows the laws of 1/(α/180°)^(0.55)andλ^(0.16),respectively.The head shape and velocity of the metal jet determine the curvature and propagation speed of the initial ballistic wave,thus impacting the superposition time and region with the shock wave.Our findings also reveal that the metal jet carries away some explosion products,which hinders the bubble development,causing an inward depression of the bubble wall near the metal jet.Therefore,the maximum bubble radius and pulsation period are 5.2%and 3.9%smaller than the spherical charge with the same weight.In addition,the uneven axial energy distribution of the shaped charge leads to an oblique bubble jet formation.

文摘The effects of internals on liquid mixing and gas-liquid mass transfer have rarely been investigated in bubble columns,and the commonly used measurement method overestimates significantly overall gas holdup.Firstly,gas holdup measurement method is improved by conducting multi-point liquid level measurement and using net fluid volume instead of bed volume to calculate gas holdup.Then,a stable conductivity method for liquid macromixing has been established by shielding large bubbles using#16nylon mesh.Subsequently,the influences of internal coverage(=12.6%,18.9% and 25.1%) on macroscopic fluid dynamics in a bubble column with a free wall area are systematically investigated.It is found that the presence of internals has a notable effect on macroscopic fluid dynamics.The overall gas holdup and gas-liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient decrease,and the macromixing time decreases with the increase of internal cross-sectional area coverage.These are mainly caused by the uneven distribution of airflow due to the low resistance in the free wall area.This design makes maintenance easier,but in reality,the reactor performance has decreased.Further improvements will be made to the reactor performance based on such a configuration through flow guidance using baffles.

文摘Bubbles are prevalent defects on the oxidized surfaces of ultra-high temperature carbides,compromis-ing structural stability and oxidation resistance.Despite their significance,the formation mechanisms and microstructural evolution of bubbles during ultra-high temperature oxidation remain inadequately understood.To address this gap,the bubble behaviors of multicomponent carbides,including(Hf,Ti)C,(Hf,Zr,Ti)C,(Hf,Zr,Ti,Ta)C,and(Hf,Zr,Ti,Nb)C,were investigated under oxidation conditions at 2500℃.The roles of various elements were elucidated through first-principles calculations.Results show that the for-mation of a dense composite oxide layer is essential for bubble generation,with the release of gaseous products serving as the primary driving force.The microstructure of the bubbles is influenced by the ma-trix composition.The addition of Ti,Ta,and Nb significantly lowers the surface energy of the shell oxides,providing preferential nucleation sites for bubbles.The progressive oxidation of Ti leads to the formation of a“TiO_(2)-TiO-HfO_(2)”multilayerstructureat thebubbletop,which evolvesintoadendriticstructurewith prolonged oxidation.Ta and Nb further modulate the size and number of bubbles by altering the compo-sition and surface energy of the shell oxides.

文摘In this study,we numerically investigate the rise of a Taylor bubble in a vertically oscillating round tube.The results show that increasing the oscillation frequency and amplitude reduces the bubble rise velocity,which is consistent with previously reported experimental findings.Analysis of the flow in the annular film region indicates that the influence of tube wall oscillations is minimal.This suggests that the effect of tube oscillations is essentially equivalent to that of an oscillating piston above the bubble,leading to a similar mechanism for bubble deceleration.Using a theoretical formula from the literature,we demonstrate that at sufficiently high frequencies,the amplitude of the tube velocity oscillations becomes the sole control parameter affecting bubble deceleration.This study enhances our understanding of Taylor bubble behavior in mechanically oscillating environments and provides useful insights into the design of control strategies for Taylor bubble motion in vertical slug flows.

文摘This study reports the response of helium(He)ion irradiation on binary-phase structured alloy V_(34)Ti_(25)Cr_(10)Ni_(30)Pd1.The alloy consists of a VCr matrix with nano-sized TiNi precipitates and a B2 TiNi matrix with nano-sized VCr precipitates.VCr is chemical-disordered and TiNi has a B2-ordered structure.The alloy was subjected to 400 keV He ion irradiation with a fluence of 1×10^(17)ions cm^(−2)at 450℃.The results show He bubbles within the chemical-disordered VCr matrix exhibit a near-spherical shape with a smaller size and higher density compared to that in chemical-ordered TiNi phase with a larger size,lower density,and faceted shape.This indicates the chemical-disordered VCr phase effectively suppresses He accumulation compared to the B2-ordered TiNi phase,emphasizing the dominance of chemical struc-tures in He bubble formation.The calculation of density functional theory(DFT)shows that Ti and Ni have lower vacancy formation energy than that of V and Cr,respectively,which results in the increased vacancy production in TiNi.Consequently,He bubbles in TiNi have a larger bubble size consistent with experimental observations of radiation-induced Ni segregation.These findings elucidate the roles of or-dered and disordered chemical structures in He bubble evolution,offering insights for the development of gas ion irradiation-resistant materials.
