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

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.

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.

文摘In recent years,the phenomenon of multistability has attracted wide attention.In this paper,a memristive chaotic system with extreme multistability is constructed by using a memristor.The dynamic behavior of the system is analyzed by Poincar´e mapping,a time series diagram,and a bifurcation diagram.The results show that the new system has several significant characteristics.First,the new system has a constant Lyapunov exponent,transient chaos and one complete Feigenbaum tree.Second,the system has the phenomenon of bifurcation map shifts that depend on the initial conditions.In addition,we find periodic bursting oscillations,chaotic bursting oscillations,and the transition of chaotic bursting oscillations to periodic bursting oscillations.In particular,when the system parameters take different discrete values,the system generates a bubble phenomenon that varies with the initial conditions,and this bubble can be shifted with the initial values,which has rarely been seen in the previous literature.The implementation by field-programmable gate array(FPGA)and analog circuit simulation show close alignment with the MATLAB numerical simulation results,validating the system’s realizability.Additionally,the image encryption algorithm integrating DNA-based encoding and chaotic systems further demonstrates its practical applicability.
文摘Bubbles play crucial roles in various fields,including naval and ocean engineering,chemical engineering,and biochemical engineering.Numerous theoretical analyses,numerical simulations,and experimental studies have been conducted to reveal the mysteries of bubble motion and its mechanisms.These efforts have significantly advanced research in bubble dynamics,where theoretical study is an efficient method for bubble motion prediction.Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the theoretical model of single-bubble motion in incompressible fluid in 1917,theoretical studies have been pivotal in understanding bubble dynamics.This study provides a comprehensive review of the development and applicability of theoretical studies in bubble dynamics using typical theoretical bubble models across different periods as a focal point and an overview of bubble theory applications in underwater explosion,marine cavitation,and seismic exploration.This study aims to serve as a reference and catalyst for further advancements in theoretical analysis and practical applications of bubble theory across marine fields.

文摘The size and distribution patterns of bubbles within a laboratory-scale coarse-particle flotation column were examined using a high-speed camera-based dynamic measurement system.The effects of operational parameters such as superficial water velocity,air-flow rate,and frother dosage on bubble-size and distribution characteristics were investigated.This study aims to provide theoretical support for enabling fluidized-bed flotation within coarse-particle flotation columns.The results show that negative pressure for air inspiratory and bubble formation is generated by passing a high-speed jet through a throat,and the greatest number of bubbles are observed under natural inspiratory state at an air-liquid ratio of 1:3-1:2.5.Increasing the air-flow rate transforms the bubble diameter distribution from a peaked distribution to a more uniform distribution.Furthermore,the frother narrows the range of bubble-size distribution.A positive correlation exists between the bubble Sauter diameter and air-flow rate,with the bubble Sauter diameter bearing a negative correlation with the superficial water velocity and frother concentration.

文摘Laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)is used to fabricate complex-shaped,dense,and high-performance oxide ceramics.During LPBF,bubbles form and evolve in the melt pool and ultimately remain in the printed ceramics as pores,which significantly degrade the mechanical properties.Therefore,it is essential to understand the bubble behaviors during LPBF.Herein,we conducted an in-situ investigation of the bubble dynamics in the melt pool of homogeneously mixed Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3) powders using synchrotron high-speed X-ray imaging.The formation,growth,motion,and evolution of bubbles,as well as the relationship between the instability of melt flow and bubble rupture during LPBF,were elucidated.The findings reveal that bubbles from the interstices within the powder bed grow following three distinct modes,i.e.,uplift growth,gas channel attachment,and bubble coalescence.Furthermore,melt flow oscillations caused by the bursting of large bubbles can lead to local instability of the melt pool.Results from this study enhance the understanding of bubble dynamics during LPBF and may provide valuable insights for pore elimination in LPBF-processed oxide ceramics.
