Hot-fire tests were conducted for four different injector geometries, while extensive tests on injection conditions were carried out for each injector geometry. The synchronous measurement of the pressure and heat release rate was applied, successfully capturing the process of the pressure and heat release rate enhanced coupling and developing into in-phase oscillation. By calculating Rayleigh index at the head and middle section of the chamber, it is shown that Rayleigh index of the middle section is even higher than that of the head, indicating a long heat release zone. When the combustion instability occurs, the pressure in propellant manifolds also oscillates with the same frequency and lags behind the oscillation in the combustor. Compared to the oscillation in the outer injector manifold, the oscillation in the inner injector manifold shows a higher correlation with that in the chamber in amplitude and phase. Based on numerical simulations of the multiphase cold flow inside the injector and combustion process in the chamber, it is found that injector geometries affect longitudinal combustion instability by changing spray cone angle. The spray with small cone angle is more sensitive to the modulation of longitudinal pressure wave in combustion simulations, which is more likely to excite the longitudinal combustion instability. Meanwhile, the combustion instability may be related to the pulsating coherent structure generated by the spray fluctuation, which is determined by injection conditions. Besides, a positive feedback closed-loop system associated with the active fluctuation and passive oscillation of the spray is believed to excite and sustain the longitudinal combustion instability.展开更多

Existing literature mainly focuses on the effect of IGV on instability inception that occurs in the rotor region. However, with the emergence of compressor instability starting from the stator region, the mechanism of various instability inceptions that occurs in different blade rows due to the change of IGV angles should be further examined. In this study, experiments were focused on three types of instability inceptions observed previously in a 1.5-stage axial flow compressor. To analyze the conversion of stall evolutions, the compressor rotating speed was set to 17 160 r/min, at which both the blade loading in the stator hub region and rotor tip region were close to the critical value before final compressor stall. Meanwhile, the dynamic test points with high-response were placed to monitor the pressures both at the stator trailing edges and rotor tips. The results indicate that the variation of reaction determines the region where initial instability occurs. Indeed, negative pre-rotation of the inlet guide vane leads to high-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the rotor region. Positive pre-rotation results in low-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the stator region. Furthermore, the type of instability evolution is affected by the radial loading distribution under different IGV angles. Specifically, a spike-type inception occurs at the rotor blade tip with a large angle of attack at the rotor inlet (−2°, −4° and −6°). Meanwhile, the critical total pressure ratio at the rotor tip is 1.40 near stall. As the angle of attack decreases, the stator blade loading reaches its critical boundary, with a value of approximately 1.35. At this moment, if the rotor tip maintains high blade loading similar to the stator hub, the partial surge occurs (0° and +2°);otherwise, the hub instability occurs (+4° and +6°).展开更多

Most studies of RI are based on the uniform inflow, ignoring the influence of inlet distortions. This study investigates the mechanism of RI in a transonic rotor through full-annulus unsteady simulations, with a particular focus on the effects of boundary layer ingesting distortions. The results show that at the uniform inflow, the RI fluctuations with the broadband hump can be observed over a relatively wide mass flow rate range, and its origin can be attributed to the coupling effect between the tip leakage flow and shear layer instability. At the inlet distortions, the broadband hump only occurs with partial circumferential locations. This kind of flow phenomenon is defined as Partial Rotating Instability (PRI). The PRI only occurs in a narrower mass flow rate range in which the circumferential range of strong shear is sufficiently large and the self-induced unsteady effects are strong enough. Further, this study confirms that the averaged tip leakage flow axial momentum at the onset of RI or PRI is close, so it can be used as the parameter to determine whether RI or PRI occurs.展开更多

The results show that at the uniform inflow, the RI fluctuations with the broadband hump can be observed over a relatively wide mass flow rate range, and its origin can be attributed to the coupling effect between the tip leakage flow and shear layer instability. At the inlet distortions, the broadband hump only occurs with partial circumferential locations. This kind of flow phenomenon is defined as Partial Rotating Instability (PRI). The PRI only occurs in a narrower mass flow rate range in which the circumferential range of strong shear is sufficiently large and the self-induced unsteady effects are strong enough. Further, this study confirms that the averaged tip leakage flow axial momentum at the onset of RI or PRI is close, so it can be used as the parameter to determine whether RI or PRI occurs.
文摘A hydrodynamic model is used to study Kelvin-Helmholtz(KH)instability of the interface between two particle-laden inviscid fluids moving with two different uniform mean velocities.Explicit eigen-equation is derived to study the effect of suspended particles on the growth rate of KH instability.For dusty gases with negligible volume fraction of heavy particles and small particle-to-fluid mass ratio,the real and imaginary parts of leading-order asymptotic expression derived by the present model for the growth rate are shown to be identical to the earlier results derived by the classical Saffman model established for dusty gases.Beyond the known results,explicit leading-order asymptotic expressions for the effect of suspended particles on the growth rate are derived for several typical cases of basic interest.It is shown that the suspended particles can decrease or increase the growth rate of KH instability depending on the Stokes numbers of the particles and whether the particles are heavier or lighter than the clean fluid.Compared to the mass density of the clean fluid,our results based on leading-order asymptotic solutions show that heavier particles and lighter particles have opposite effects on the growth rate of KH instability,while the effect of neutrally buoyant particles on the growth rate of KH instability is negligible.

文摘We study the Rayleigh-Taylor instability(RTI)of electrostatic plane wave perturbations in compressible relativistic magnetoplasma fluids with thermal ions under gravity in three different cases of when(ⅰ)electrons are in isothermal equilibrium,i.e.,classical or nondegenerate,(ⅱ)electrons are fully degenerate(with Te=0),and(ⅲ)electrons are partially degenerate or have finite temperature degeneracy(with Te≠0).While in the cases of(ⅰ)and(ⅲ),we focus on the regimes where the particle's thermal energy is more or less than the rest mass energy,i.e.,βe≡kBTe/mec2<1or>1,the case(ⅱ)considers from weakly to ultra-relativistic degenerate regimes.A general expression of the growth rate of instability is obtained and analyzed in the three different cases relevant to laboratory and astrophysical plasmas,which generalize and advance the previous theory on RTI.

文摘A way to enhance the growth of stimulated Raman instability in laser-plasma interactions was investigated.This relies on the application of density modulation of a co-propagating electron beam in plasmas.In the stimulated Raman scattering process,an electromagnetic pump wave decays into a low-frequency wave and a scattered electromagnetic sideband wave.In this process,the pump wave produces an oscillatory velocity associated with the plasma electrons and the beam electrons.These oscillatory velocities combine with the existing low-frequency mode,producing ponderomotive force that drives high-frequency sideband waves.The sidebands couple to the pump wave,driving the beam-mode.A modulation of the electron beam density enhances the growth rate of the instability.The theoretical calculations show about 40%enhancements in growth of Raman instability at resonance(where the electron beam density modulation parameter approaches to unity)for the plasma density of the order of 10^(18)cm^(-3).

文摘Rayleigh-Taylor instability(RTI)of finite-thickness shell significantly impacts shell deformation and material mixing processes,with crucial implications for inertial confinement fusion(ICF).This study focuses on the RTI growth at the dual interfaces of a thin shell.A second-order weakly nonlinear(WN)analytical theory is developed to investigate the nonlinear deformation of the shell induced by different perturbation wavelengths initially imposed at the upper and lower interfaces.The validity of the theoretical results within the WN regime has been confirmed via two-dimensional Eulerian numerical simulations.Due to the interface coupling effect,the initially imposed single-mode perturbations at the upper and lower interfaces progressively evolve,exhibiting characteristics typical of multi-mode perturbations.When the initial perturbation wavelengths differ significantly,the primary structure of RTI retains its integrity,a behavior attributed to the dominance of long-wavelength perturbations.For comparable initial wavelengths,mode-coupling significantly distorts the bubble-spike structure in RTI,with the thin shell becoming prone to rupture due to enhanced nonlinear interactions.

文摘In order to calculate the multipoles in real materials with considerable intersite Coulomb interaction V,we develop a self-consistent program which starts from the frst-principles calculations to solve the tight-binding Hamiltonian including onsite Coulomb repulsion U,V,and spin-orbital couplingλ.The program is applied to Ba_(2)MgReO_(6)to fgure out the mechanism of structural instability and magnetic ordering.A comprehensive quadrupole phase diagram versus U and V withλ=0.28 eV is calculated.Our results demonstrate that the easy-plane anisotropy and the intersite Coulomb repulsion V must be considered to remove the orbital frustration.The increase of V to>20 meV would arrange quadrupole Q_(x^(2)-y^(2))antiparallelly,accompanied by small parallel Q_(3z)^(2)-r^(2),and stabilize Ba_(2)MgReO_(6)into the body-centered tetragonal structure.Such antiparallel Q_(x^(2)-y^(2))provides a new mechanism for the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and gives rise to the canted antiferromagnetic(CAF)state along the[110]axis.Moreover,sizable octupoles such as O_(21)^(31),O_(21)^(33),O_(21)^(34)and O_(21)^(36)are discovered for the frst time in the CAF state.Our study not only provides a comprehensive understanding of the experimental results in Ba_(2)MgReO_(6),but also serves as a general and useful tool for the study of multipole physics in 5d compounds.

文摘A new type of localized oscillatory pattern is presented in a two-layer coupled reaction-diffusion system under conditions in which no Hopf instability can be discerned in either layer.The transitions from stationary patterns to asynchronous and synchronous oscillatory patterns are obtained.A novel method based on decomposing coupled systems into two associated subsystems has been proposed to elucidate the mechanism of formation of oscillating patterns.Linear stability analysis of the associated subsystems reveals that the Turing pattern in one layer induces the other layer locally,undergoes a supercritical Hopf bifurcation and gives rise to localized oscillations.It is found that the sizes and positions of oscillations are determined by the spatial distribution of the Turing patterns.When the size is large,localized traveling waves such as spirals and targets emerge.These results may be useful for deeper understanding of pattern formation in complex systems,particularly multilayered systems.

文摘The effect of drive laser wavelength on the growth of ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability(ARTI)in inertial confinemen fusion(ICF)is studied with two-dimensional numerical simulations.The results show that in the plasma acceleration phase,shorter wavelengths lead to more efficien coupling between the laser and the kinetic energy of the implosion fluid Under the condition that the laser energy coupled to the implosion flui is constant,the ARTI growth rate decreases as the laser wavelength moves toward the extreme ultraviolet band,reaching its minimum value near λ=65 nm,and when the laser wavelength continuously moves toward the X-ray band,the ARTI growth rate increases rapidly.It is found that the results deviate from the theoretical ARTI growth rate.As the laser intensity benchmark increases,the position of the minimum ARTI growth rate shifts toward shorter wavelengths.As the initial sinusoidal perturbation wavenumber decreases,the position of the minimum ARTI growth rate shifts toward longer wavelengths.We believe that the conclusions drawn from the present simulations and analysis will help provide a better understanding of the ICF process and improve the theory of ARTI growth.

文摘Hydrodynamic instability growth at the deuterium-tritium(DT)fuel-ablator interface plays a critical role in determining the performance of inertial confinement fusion implosions.During the late stages of implosion,insufficient doping of the ablator material can result in highenergy X-ray preheat,which may trigger the development of a classical-like Rayleigh-Taylor instability(RTI)at the fuel-ablator interface.In implosion experiments at the Shenguang 100 kJ-level laser facility,the primary source of perturbation is the roughness of the inner DT ice interface.In this study,we propose an analytical model to describe the feed-out process of the initial roughness of the inner DT ice interface.The perturbation amplitude derived from this model serves as the initial seed for the late-time RTI during the acceleration phase.Our findings confirm the presence of classical-like RTI at the fuel-ablator interface.Numerical simulations conducted using a radiation hydrodynamic code validate the proposed analytical model and demonstrate the existence of a peak mode number in both the feed-out process and the classical-like RTI.It provides an alternative bridge between the current target fabrication limitations and the unexpected implosion performance.

文摘To investigate the instability mechanisms of heterogeneous geological structures in goaf area roofs,three-point bending tests(TPBT)and numerical simulations are performed on composite coal-rock(CCR).Acoustic emission(AE)monitoring is employed to analyze key parameters,establishing a multiparameter quantitative system for CCR fracture processes.The impact of lithological homogeneity on fracture evolution and energy migration is examined.Results show that CCR exhibits a three-stage mechanical response:weak contact,strong contact,and post-peak stages,each with distinct crack evolution patterns.A positive correlation is found between lithological homogeneity and tensile crack proportion.No significant correlation is observed between AE average frequency(AF)and AE counts across different lithological CCR;however,peak frequency(PF)displays clear lithology-dependent characteristics.The regulatory effect of the rock homogeneity coefficient(φ)on crack deriva tion mechanisms is quantfied,yielding mathematical relationships between fracture strength(f),crack propagation path angle(β),crack fractal dimension(D),andφ.The study highlights how different fracture modes alter energy migration pathways,confirming the coupling effect of grain distribution on mechanical response and crack propagation,and the influence of parameterφon critical energy release zones.These findings offer new insights into CCR failure mechanisms for mining safety.

文摘Magneto-active soft materials,composed of hard-magnetic particles embedded in polymeric matrices,have found widespread applications in soft robotics,active metamaterials,and shape-morphing structures across various length scales due to their ability to undergo reversible,untethered,and rapid deformation in response to magnetic actuation.At small scales,surface effects play a crucial role in the mechanical behavior of these soft materials.In this paper,we theoretically investigate the influence of surface effects on the buckling instability and large deformation of magneto-active soft beams under a uniform magnetic field.The theoretical model is derived according to the principle of minimum potential energy and numerically solved with the finite difference method.By employing the developed theoretical model,parametric studies are performed to explore how surface effects influence the buckling instability and large deformation of magneto-active soft cantilever beams with varying geometric parameters under different uniform magnetic fields.Our results reveal that the influence of surface effects on the mechanical behavior of magneto-active soft beams depends not only on the geometric parameters but also on the magnetic field strength.Specifically,when the magnetic field strength is relatively small,surface effects reduce the deformation of magneto-active soft beams,particularly for beams with smaller thicknesses and larger length-to-thickness ratios.However,when the magnetic field strength is sufficiently large,and the beam's deformation becomes saturated,surface effects have little influence on the deformation.This work uncovers the role of surface effects in the mechanical behavior of magnetoactive soft materials,which could provide guidelines for the design and optimization of small-scale magnetic-active soft material-based applications.

文摘This study investigates the instability of nanofluid thin films flowing down an inclined plane under the influence of a normal electric field.Based on the long-wave approximation and a systematic asymptotic expansion,a nonlinear evolution equation is derived to capture the coupled effects of the electric field and nanoparticle properties.Linear stability analysis reveals that the electric field enhances interfacial disturbances and promotes instability,whereas the presence of nanoparticles suppresses this effect by attenuating disturbance amplitudes.A weakly nonlinear analysis further clarifies the interplay among electric field strength,nanoparticle volume fraction,and density difference,enabling a classification of nonlinear stability regimes.Numerical simulations support the analytical predictions,showing that in unstable regimes,perturbations grow over time and eventually destabilize the film.These findings offer theoretical insights into the control of nanofluid film stability via electric field regulation and nanoparticle tuning.
