Both carbonatites and nepheline syenite-fluorite-calcite veinlets are host to a previously unreported macroscale texture involving pseudo-graphic intergrowths of fluorite and calcite. The inclusions within calcite occur as either pure fluorite, with associated REE minerals within the surrounding calcite, or as mixed calcite-fluorite inclusions, with associated zirconosilicate minerals. Consideration of the nature of the texture, and the proportions of fluorite and calcite present(～29 and 71 mol%,respectively), indicates that these textures most likely formed either through the immiscible separation of carbonate and fluoride melts, or from cotectic crystallization of a carbonatefluoride melt. Laser ablation ICP-MS analyses show the pure fluorite inclusions to be depleted in REE relative to the calcite. A model is proposed, in which a carbonate-fluoride melt phase enriched in Zr and the REE, separated from a phonolitic melt, and then either unmixed or underwent cotectic crystallization to generate an REE-rich carbonate melt and an REE-poor fluoride phase. The separation of the fluoride phase(either solid or melt) may have contributed to the enrichment of the carbonate melt in REE, and ultimately its saturation with REE minerals. Previous data have suggested that carbonate melts separated from silicate melts are relatively depleted in the REE, and thus melt immiscibility cannot result in the formation of REE-enriched carbonatites. The observations presented here provide a mechanism by which this could occur, as under either model the textures imply initial separation of a mixed carbonate-fluoride melt from a silicate magma. The separation of an REEenriched carbonate-fluoride melt from phonolitic magma is a hitherto unrecognized mechanism for REE-enrichment in carbonatites, and may play an important role in the formation of shallow magmatic REE deposits.展开更多

The boninite occurs as pillow, massive and ocellar lavas; the last one possesses well-developed globular structure and alternates with the former two. The boninite is characterized by the absence of phenocrysts of olivine and low-Ca pyroxenes and by low CaO/Al2O3 ratios (<0.67) and high Cr (>1000 ppm) and Ni (>250 ppm). The normalized abundance patterns (NAP) of trace elements to primitive mantle are similar to the NAP of low-Ca modern boninites and SHMB in the Archaean and Proterozoic.展开更多

In this study, a new model for the genesis of podiform chromitite is proposed on basis of revisits of comprehensive petrological, mineralogical and geochemical results of the well-preserved K?z?lda? ophiolite and the well-characterized Luobusa chromite deposit. In this model, ascending magmas intruding oceanic lithospheric mantle would presumably form a series of small magma chambers continuously connected by conduits. Tiny chromite nuclei would collect fluids dispersed in such magmas to form nascent droplets. They tend to float upward in the magma chamber and would be easily transported upward by flowing magmas. Chromite-rich droplets would be enlarged via coalescence of dispersed droplets during mingling and circulation in the magma chamber and/or transport in magma conduits. Crystallization of the chromite-rich liquid droplets would proceed from the margin of the droplet inward, leaving liquid entrapped within grains as precursor of mineral inclusions. With preferential upward transportation, immiscible chromite-rich liquids would coalesce to a large pool in a magma chamber. Large volumes of chromite would crystallize in situ, forming podiform chromitite and resulting in fluid enrichment in the chamber. The fluids would penetrate and compositionally modify ambient dunite and harzburgite, leading to significant fractionations of elemental and isotopic compositions between melts and fluids from which dunite and chromitite respectively formed. Therefore, fluid immiscibility during basaltic magma ascent plays a vital role in chromitite formation.展开更多

Typica...Understanding fingering, as a challenge to stable displacement during the immiscible flow, has become a crucial phenomenon for geological carbon sequestration, enhanced oil recovery, and groundwater protection. Typically governed by gravity, viscous and capillary forces, these factors lead invasive fluids to occupy pore space irregularly and incompletely. Previous studies have demonstrated capillary numbers,describing the viscous and capillary forces, to quantificationally induce evolution of invasion patterns.While the evolution mechanisms of invasive patterns have not been deeply elucidated under the constant capillary number and three variable parameters including velocity, viscosity, and interfacial tension.Our research employs two horizontal visualization systems and a two-phase laminar flow simulation to investigate the tendency of invasive pattern transition by various parameters at the pore scale. We showed that increasing invasive viscosity or reducing interfacial tension in a homogeneous pore space significantly enhanced sweep efficiency, under constant capillary number. Additionally, in the fingering crossover pattern, the region near the inlet was prone to capillary fingering with multi-directional invasion, while the viscous fingering with unidirectional invasion was more susceptible occurred in the region near the outlet. Furthermore, increasing invasive viscosity or decreasing invasive velocity and interfacial tension promoted the extension of viscous fingering from the outlet to the inlet, presenting that the subsequent invasive fluid flows toward the outlet. In the case of invasive trunk along a unidirectional path, the invasive flow increased exponentially closer to the outlet, resulting in a significant decrease in the width of the invasive interface. Our work holds promising applications for optimizing invasive patterns in heterogeneous porous media.展开更多

文摘The Lugiin Gol nepheline syenite intrusion, Mongolia, hosts a range of carbonatite dikes mineralized in rare-earth elements(REE). Both carbonatites and nepheline syenite-fluorite-calcite veinlets are host to a previously unreported macroscale texture involving pseudo-graphic intergrowths of fluorite and calcite. The inclusions within calcite occur as either pure fluorite, with associated REE minerals within the surrounding calcite, or as mixed calcite-fluorite inclusions, with associated zirconosilicate minerals. Consideration of the nature of the texture, and the proportions of fluorite and calcite present(～29 and 71 mol%,respectively), indicates that these textures most likely formed either through the immiscible separation of carbonate and fluoride melts, or from cotectic crystallization of a carbonatefluoride melt. Laser ablation ICP-MS analyses show the pure fluorite inclusions to be depleted in REE relative to the calcite. A model is proposed, in which a carbonate-fluoride melt phase enriched in Zr and the REE, separated from a phonolitic melt, and then either unmixed or underwent cotectic crystallization to generate an REE-rich carbonate melt and an REE-poor fluoride phase. The separation of the fluoride phase(either solid or melt) may have contributed to the enrichment of the carbonate melt in REE, and ultimately its saturation with REE minerals. Previous data have suggested that carbonate melts separated from silicate melts are relatively depleted in the REE, and thus melt immiscibility cannot result in the formation of REE-enriched carbonatites. The observations presented here provide a mechanism by which this could occur, as under either model the textures imply initial separation of a mixed carbonate-fluoride melt from a silicate magma. The separation of an REEenriched carbonate-fluoride melt from phonolitic magma is a hitherto unrecognized mechanism for REE-enrichment in carbonatites, and may play an important role in the formation of shallow magmatic REE deposits.

文摘Liquid-liquid immiscibility has crucial influences on geological processes,such as magma degassing and formation of ore deposits.Sulfate,as an important component,associates with many kinds of deposits.Two types of immiscibility,including(i)fluid-melt immiscibility between an aqueous solution and a sulfate melt,and(ii)fluid-fluid immiscibility between two aqueous fluids with different sulfate concentrations,have been identified for sulfate-water systems.In this study,we investigated the immiscibility behaviors of a sulfate-and quartz-saturated Na_(2)SO_(4)-SiO_(2)-H_(2)O system at elevated temperature,to explore the phase relationships involving both types of immiscibility.The fluid-melt immiscibility appeared first when the Na_(2)SO_(4)-SiO_(2)-H_(2)O sample was heated to~270℃,and then fluid-fluid immiscibility emerged while the sample was further heated to~450℃.At this stage,the coexistence of one water-saturated sulfate melt and two aqueous fluids with distinct sulfate concentrations was observed.The three immiscible phases remain stable over a wide pressure-temperature range,and the appearance temperature of the fluid-fluid immiscibility increases with the increased pressure.Considering that sulfate components occur extensively in carbonatite-related deposits,the fluid-fluid immiscibility can result in significant sulfate fractionation and provides implications for understanding the formation of carbonatite-related rare earth deposits.

文摘The Panzhihua mafic intrusion,which hosts a world-class Fe-Ti-V ore deposit,is in the western Emeishan region,SW China.The formation age(~260 Ma),and Sr and Nd isotopes indicate that the Panzhihua intrusion is part of the Emeishan large igneous province and has little crustal contamination.To assess ore genesis of the Panzhihua Fe-Ti-V ore deposit,two different models have been provided to explain the formation,namely silicate immiscibility and normal fractional crystallization.Silicate immiscibility occurring around 1,000℃at the late stage of basaltic magma evolution argues against the silicate immiscibility model.Apatite-hosted melt inclusion research indicates that silicate immiscibility occurred at the late stage of Panzhihua magma evolution,which may not have offered potential to form such large ore deposits as Panzhihua.Alternatively,continuous compositional variations of the Panzhihua intrusion and calculations using thermodynamic modelling software support the hypothesis that the Panzhihua deposit was formed by normal fractional crystallization.Reciprocal trace element patterns of the Panzhihua intrusion and nearby felsic rocks also coincide with the fractional crystallization model.Normal fractional crystallization of high-Ti basaltic magma played a key role in the formation of the Panzhihua Fe-Ti-V ore deposit.

文摘Thermodynamic/dynamic modeling of liquid immiscibility in silicates is seriously hindered due to lack of in situ investigation on the structural evolution of the melt.In this work,atomic-scale structural evolution of a classic binary silicate immiscible system,SiO2–TiO2,is tracked by in situ high energy X-ray diffraction(HE-XRD).It is found that both the configuration of[SiO]and the polymerization between them are closely coupled with embedment and extraction of the metallic cations(Ti^4+).[SiO]monomer goes through deficit-oxygen and excess-polymerization before liquid–liquid separation and enables self-healing after liquid–liquid separation,which challenges the traditional cognition that[SiO4]monomer is immutable.Ti4+cations with tetrahedral oxygen-coordination first participate in the network construction before liquid separation.The four-fold Ti–O bond is broken during liquid separation,which may facilitate the movement of Ti4+across the Si–O network to form TiO2-rich nodules.The structural features of nodules were also investigated and they were found highly analogous to that of molten TiO2,which implies a parallel crystallization behavior in the two circumstances.Our results shed light on the structural evolution scenario in liquid immiscibility at atomic scale,which will contribute to constructing a complete thermodynamic/dynamic framework describing the silicate liquid immiscibility systems beyond current models.

文摘Although the involvement of hydrous fluids has been widely invoked in formation of podiform chromitites in ophiolites, there is lack of natural evidence to signify the role and mechanism of fluids. In this study, a new model for the genesis of podiform chromitite is proposed on basis of revisits of comprehensive petrological, mineralogical and geochemical results of the well-preserved K?z?lda? ophiolite and the well-characterized Luobusa chromite deposit. In this model, ascending magmas intruding oceanic lithospheric mantle would presumably form a series of small magma chambers continuously connected by conduits. Tiny chromite nuclei would collect fluids dispersed in such magmas to form nascent droplets. They tend to float upward in the magma chamber and would be easily transported upward by flowing magmas. Chromite-rich droplets would be enlarged via coalescence of dispersed droplets during mingling and circulation in the magma chamber and/or transport in magma conduits. Crystallization of the chromite-rich liquid droplets would proceed from the margin of the droplet inward, leaving liquid entrapped within grains as precursor of mineral inclusions. With preferential upward transportation, immiscible chromite-rich liquids would coalesce to a large pool in a magma chamber. Large volumes of chromite would crystallize in situ, forming podiform chromitite and resulting in fluid enrichment in the chamber. The fluids would penetrate and compositionally modify ambient dunite and harzburgite, leading to significant fractionations of elemental and isotopic compositions between melts and fluids from which dunite and chromitite respectively formed. Therefore, fluid immiscibility during basaltic magma ascent plays a vital role in chromitite formation.

文摘In this paper,the authors present the results of a preliminary experimental study on partial melting of fine-grained gabbro,Panzhihua,Sichuan Province,China.Experiments were conducted under(confining)pressure ranging from 450 to 500 MPa and temperature of 900—1200℃.The results show that the initial melt is distributed along grain boundaries and triple junctions.Liquid immiscibility phenomena are noted in the melt with two compositional different melt phases,i.e.matrix and sphere phases.The matrix phase is relatively rich in Si,Al and K,and is depleted in Mg,Fe,Ca,Na and Ti,whereas the sphere phase shows opposite trends.The calculation of the melt free energy indicates that the liquid immiscibility is governed by the rule of thermodynamics,as the liquid immiscibility would result in the decrease in free energy of the melt system.The field relationships suggest that the liquid immiscibility may have played an important role in the generation of ore magma of Panzhihua V-Ti magnetite ore deposit.This study thus provides experimental constraints on the mechanism of the formation of V-Ti magnetite deposite.

文摘In dry silicate magmas equilibrated at or below FMQ buffer,sulfur is present mainly as S^(2-).The solution of sulfur can be represented by the reaction: FeO+(1/2)S_2=FeS+(1/2)O_2,assuming that activity of FeS in the coexisting sulfide liquid is close to unity,and that the activity of FeO in the silicate liquid fits the modified quasi-lattice melt model,a thermodynamical model for predicting solubility of sul- fur in dry silicate magmas has been established in this paper by fitting 147 experimentally determined sul- fur solubility data from literature.The following result is obtained:ΔH°=(158.718±3.970)J/mol, ΔS°=(33.361±2.682)J/K·mol,and ΔV°=(0.524±0.046)·10^(-5)J/Pa·mol.The model canbe used to predict solubility of sulfur,and to simulate sulfide liquid immiscibility in natural magmatic processes.

文摘A set of 201 experimental data on solubility of sulfur in silicate melts was collectedfrom literature to formulate the changes of sulfur solubility as a function of bulk compo-sition of the melts and pressure, temperature, and the fugacity of oxygen and sulfur. Aregular solution model and a polynomial function have been put forward, from which sol-ubility of sulfur in natural silicate magmas can be estimated. Synthetic application of twomethods makes it possible to evaluate activity of FeS in a silicate melt, which will be po-tentially valuable for predicting immiscibility of sulfide liquid in magmatic processes.

文摘An experimental investigation of the dynamics of the interface between two low-viscosity fluids with high density contrast oscillating in a fixed vertical slotted channel has been conducted.It has been found that as the amplitude of the liquid column oscillations increases,parametric oscillations of the interface are excited in the form of a standing wave located in the channel plane.In particular,depending on the interfacial tension,the standing waves have a frequency equal to that of liquid piston oscillations(harmonic response),or half of the frequency of oscillations of the liquid column in the channel(subharmonic response).The detected type of instability has a gravitational-capillary nature and is analogous to Faraday waves.The analysis of the overcritical dynamics of wave oscillations indicates that interfacial tension plays a crucial role in determining the type of parametric instability.At high interfacial tension,only synchronous(harmonic)wave modes are observed,and the threshold of the wave excitation is determined by the amplitude of piston oscillations of the liquid column.In this case,the oscillation acceleration does not play a role and has a small value in the threshold of the synchronous mode response.In the case of weak surface tension,subharmonic oscillations are observed.The threshold for the development of these oscillations is determined by the dimensionless acceleration of the oscillating liquid column and remains almost constant with variations in the dimensionless frequency of oscillations.At moderate values of interfacial tension(in the region of moderate dimensionless frequencies),a synchronous wave mode emerges in the stability threshold of the oscillating interface.As the dimensionless acceleration is increased further,a subharmonic mode is excited.The growth of subharmonic oscillations occurs against the background of harmonic wave oscillations,with the oscillations of the interface representing a combination of two standing waves.

文摘Multiphase flow in porous rock is of great importance in the application of many industrial processes,including reservoir delineation,enhanced oil recovery,and CO_(2) sequestration.However,previous research typically investigated the dispersive behaviors when rock saturated with single or two-phase fluids and conducted limited studies on three-phase immiscible fluids.This study investigated the seismic dispersion,attenuation,and reflection features of seismic waves in three-phase immiscible fluidsaturated porous rocks.First,we proposed the calculation formulas of effective fluid modulus and effective fluid viscosity of multiphase immiscible fluids by taking into account the capillary pressure,reservoir wettability,and relative permeability simultaneously.Then,we analysed the frequencydependent behaviors of three-phase immiscible fluid-saturated porous rock under different fluid proportion cases using the Chapman multi-scale model.Next,the seismic responses are analysed using a four-layer model.The results indicate that the relative permeability,capillary pressure parameter,and fluid proportions are all significantly affect dispersion and attenuation.Comparative analyses demonstrate that dispersion and attenuation can be observed within the frequency range of seismic exploration for a lower capillary parameter a3 and higher oil content.Seismic responses reveal that the reflection features,such as travel time,seismic amplitude,and waveform of the bottom reflections of saturated rock and their underlying reflections are significantly dependent on fluid proportions and capillary parameters.For validation,the numerical results are further verified using the log data and real seismic data.This numerical analysis helps to further understand the wave propagation characteristics for a porous rock saturated with multiphase immiscible fluids.

文摘Immiscible bimetal systems,of which tungsten–copper(W–Cu)is a typical representative,have crucial applications in fields requiring both mechanical and physical properties.Nevertheless,it is a major challenge to determine how to give full play to the advantages of the two phases of the bimetal and achieve outstanding comprehensive properties.In this study,an ultrafine-grained W–Cu bimetal with spatially connected Cu and specific Wislands was fabricated through a designed powder-mixing process and subsequent rapid low-temperature sintering.The prepared bimetal concurrently has a high yield strength,large plastic strain,and high electrical conductivity.The stress distribution and strain response of individual phases in different types of W–Cu bimetals under loading were quantified by means of a simulation.The high yield strength of the reported bimetal results from the microstructure refinement and high contiguity of the grains in the W islands,which enhance the contribution of W to the total plastic deformation of the bimetal.The high electrical conductivity is attributed to the increased mean free path of the Cu and the reduced proportion of phase boundaries due to the specific phase combination of W islands and Cu.This work provides new insight into modulating phase configuration in immiscible metallic composites to achieve high-level multi-objective properties.

文摘Studying immiscible fluid displacement patterns can provide a better understanding of displacement processes within heterogeneous porous media,thereby helping improving oil recovery and optimizing geological CO_(2) sequestration.As the injection rate of water displacing oil increases and the displacement pattern transits from capillary fingering to viscous fingering,there is a broad crossover zone between the two that can adversely affect the oil displacement efficiency.While previous studies have utilized phase diagrams to investigate the influence of the viscosity ratio and wettability of the crossover zone,fewer have studied the impact of rock heterogeneity.In this study,we created pore network models with varying degrees of heterogeneity to simulate water flooding at different injection rates.Our model quantifies capillary and viscous fingering characteristics while investigating porous media heterogeneity's role in the crossover zone.Analysis of simulation results reveals that a higher characteristic front flow rate within the crossover zone leads to earlier breakthrough and reduced displacement efficiency.Increased heterogeneity in the porous media raises injection-site pressure,lowers water saturation,and elevates the characteristic front flow rate,thereby expanding the extent of crossover zone.

文摘The development of highly active and cost-effective catalysts for the full pH range of the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)to meet the industrial application demands is an urgent challenge.In this work,the performance and structure–activityrelationships of CuIr alloys prepared by the pulsed laser ablation in liquid technique as full pH range HER catalysts wereinvestigated.Results indicated that Ir is doped into the Cu matrix as single atoms in CuIr-0.1,and CuIr-0.1 single-atom alloys(SAAs)exhibit superior HER performance and stability across the full pH range,with overpotentials of 135,203,and 172 mVat the current density of 10 mA/cm^(2)in acidic,neutral,and alkaline electrolytes,respectively.The enhanced performance ofCuIr-0.1 SAAs can be attributed to the abundant active sites and accelerated reaction kinetics brought about by the electroniceffects.This work successfully alloyed two immiscible metals to improve the catalytic performance,providing an avenue forthe development of highly efficient and versatile HER catalysts for industrial applications.

文摘The Yueguang gold deposit is located in Fengjia,Xinhua County,Hunan Province,South China.It represents a recently discovered small-scale gold deposit situated in the southwestern region of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt,west of the Baimashan granitic batholith.In order to discern the characteristics of the ore-formingfluids,the underlying mineralization processes,and establish a foundation for the origin of the Yueguang gold depositfluid inclusion micro-thermometry,as well as quartz hydrogen and oxygen isotope analysis,have been carried out on samples obtained from various stages of mineralization.The hydrothermal miner-alization stages within the Yueguang gold deposit can be categorized into three stages:(i)the barren,pre-ore quartz-pyrite stage(Stage Ⅰ),the quartz-pyrite-gold stage(Stage Ⅱ),and the post-ore quartz-carbonate stage(Stage Ⅲ),with the second stage being the main mineralization stage.Thefluid inclusions identified in samples from the main min-eralization stage can predominantly be described with the NaCl–H_(2)O and CO_(2)–NaCl–H_(2)O systems.These inclusions display homogenization temperatures ranging from 158.8 to 334.9℃,and thefluid salinity ranges from 0.3%to 4.0%(wt.%NaCl equiv.).Laser Raman spectroscopy analysis of individual inclusions further reveals the presence of gas-phases such as CO_(2),CH_(4),and N_(2).Isotopic analysis indicatesδ^(18)Ofluid values ranging from 3.95 to 6.7‰ and δDH_(2)O values ranging from-71.9 to-55.7‰.These results indi-cate that the ore-formingfluid of the Yueguang gold deposit belongs to metamorphic hydrothermalfluids of middle-low temperature and low salinity.In the process of ore formation,gold is transported in the form of Au(HS)2-complexes,with gold deposition being driven byfluid immiscibility.Therefore,the Yueguang gold deposit is categorized as an orogenic gold deposit dominated by metamorphic hydrother-malfluid.It may become a new target for gold exploration in the Baimashan region,central Hunan Province.

文摘The Wangjiazhuang Cu(-Mo)deposit,located within the Zouping volcanic basin in western Shandong Province,China,is unique in this area for having an economic value.In order to expound the metallogenetic characteristics of this porphyry-like hydrothermal deposit,a detailed fluid inclusion study has been conducted,employing the techniques of representative sampling,fluid inclusion petrography,microthermometry,Raman spectroscopy,LA-ICP-MS analysis of single fluid inclusions,as well as cathode fluorescence spectrometer analysis of host mineral quartz.The deposit contains mainly two types of orebodies,i.e.veinlet-dissemination-stockwork orebodies in the K-Si alteration zone and pegmatiticquartz sulfide veins above them.In addition,minor breccia ore occurs locally.Four types of fluid inclusions in the deposit and altered quartz monzonite are identified:L-type one-or two-phase aqueous inclusions,V-type vapor-rich inclusions with V/L ratios greater than 50%-90%,D-type multiphase fluid inclusions containing daughter minerals or solids and S-type silicate-bearing fluid inclusions containing mainly muscovite and biotite.Ore petrography and fluid inclusion study has revealed a three-stage mineralization process,driven by magmatic-hydrothermal fluid activity,as follows.Initially,a hydrothermal fluid,separated from the parent magma,infiltrated into the quartz monzonite,resulting in its extensive K-Si alteration,as indicated by silicate-bearing fluid inclusions trapped in altered quartz monzonite.This is followed by the early mineralization,the formation of quartz veinlets and dissemination-stockwork ores.During the main mineralization stage,due to the participation and mixing of meteoric groundwater with magmatic-sourced hydrothermal fluid,the cooling and phase separation caused deposition of metals from the hydrothermal fluids.As a result,the pegmatitic-quartz sulfide-vein ores formed.In the late mineralization stage,decreasing fluid salinity led to the formation of L-type aqueous inclusions and chalcopyrite-sulfosalt ore.Coexistence of V-type and D-type inclusions and their similar homogenization temperatures with different homogenization modes suggest that phase separation or boiling of the ore-forming fluids took place during the early and the main mineralization stages.The formation P-T conditions of S-type inclusions and the early and the main mineralization stages were estimated as ca.156-182 MPa and 450-650℃,350-450℃,18-35 MPa and 280-380℃,8-15 MPa,respectively,based on the microthermometric data of the fluid inclusions formed at the individual stages.

文摘The steady flow in a Hele-Shaw cell filled with fluids with a high viscosity contrast in the presence of fluid oscillations is experimentally studied.The control of oscillatory dynamics of multiphase systems with interfaces is a challenging technological problem.We consider miscible(water and glycerol)and immiscible(water and high-viscosity silicone oil PMS-1000)fluids under subsonic oscillations perpendicular to the interface.Observations show that the interface shape depends on the amplitude and frequency of oscillations.The interface is undisturbed only in the absence of oscillations.Under small amplitudes,the interface between water and glycerol widens due to mixing.When the critical amplitude is reached,the interface becomes unstable to the fingering instability:Aqueous fingers penetrate the high-viscosity glycerol and induce intensive mixing of miscible fluids and associated decay of the instability.After the disappearance of the fingers,the interface takes a U-shape in the central part of the cell.A similar effect is observed for immiscible fluids:The oscillating interface tends to bend to the side of a high-viscosity fluid.Again,when the critical amplitude is reached,the fingering instability arises at the convex interface.This paper focuses on the causes of bending of the initially undisturbed interface between miscible or immiscible fluids.For this purpose,we measure the steady flow velocity near the interface and in the bulk of a high-viscosity fluid using Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV).

文摘Liquid-solid phase separation of permalloy in liquid Mg results in selectively dissolved Ni,which provides a unique opportunity for the design of immiscible heterogeneous composite materials and the comprehensive metal recycling of permalloy scraps.A guideline of the alloy design for the liquid-solid phase separation system was proposed.The effects of immersion temperature and time on the Ni extraction were studied by an experimental method.The diffusion behavior of Ni from the permalloy to liquid Mg and the microstructure evolution in the permalloy during the liquid-solid phase separation were discussed.The results show that the Ni in the permalloy was quickly extracted into the liquid Mg and formed an Mg-Ni alloy,while the other components such as Fe,Co,and Mn were held back in the phase-separated permalloy.The phase-separated permalloy with the solidified Mg exhibits a three-dimensional(3D)Fe/Mg bicontinuous composite structure.Furthermore,simple treatments were carried out for the reaction products such as the Fe/Mg bicontinuous composite and the Mg-Ni alloy,and the recycling strategies for functionalization of these treated reaction products were provided.A 3D porous Fe-based alloy with electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding efficiency of 52 dB can be obtained if Mg is removed from the Fe/Mg bicontinuous composite.Instead of the complete separation of pure Ni from the recycled Mg-Ni alloy by vacuum distilling,the Mg-Ni alloy can be enriched into Mg2 Ni as an initial hydrogen storage material.

文摘Understanding fingering, as a challenge to stable displacement during the immiscible flow, has become a crucial phenomenon for geological carbon sequestration, enhanced oil recovery, and groundwater protection. Typically governed by gravity, viscous and capillary forces, these factors lead invasive fluids to occupy pore space irregularly and incompletely. Previous studies have demonstrated capillary numbers,describing the viscous and capillary forces, to quantificationally induce evolution of invasion patterns.While the evolution mechanisms of invasive patterns have not been deeply elucidated under the constant capillary number and three variable parameters including velocity, viscosity, and interfacial tension.Our research employs two horizontal visualization systems and a two-phase laminar flow simulation to investigate the tendency of invasive pattern transition by various parameters at the pore scale. We showed that increasing invasive viscosity or reducing interfacial tension in a homogeneous pore space significantly enhanced sweep efficiency, under constant capillary number. Additionally, in the fingering crossover pattern, the region near the inlet was prone to capillary fingering with multi-directional invasion, while the viscous fingering with unidirectional invasion was more susceptible occurred in the region near the outlet. Furthermore, increasing invasive viscosity or decreasing invasive velocity and interfacial tension promoted the extension of viscous fingering from the outlet to the inlet, presenting that the subsequent invasive fluid flows toward the outlet. In the case of invasive trunk along a unidirectional path, the invasive flow increased exponentially closer to the outlet, resulting in a significant decrease in the width of the invasive interface. Our work holds promising applications for optimizing invasive patterns in heterogeneous porous media.

文摘Extended solid solution of immiscible systems,achieved by extreme processing approaches,can be trans-formed into nanostructured composites via phase decomposition,which are drawing great research atten-tion for their excellent thermal stability and high strength.Here we fabricated the supersaturated solid solution of Cu-20 at.%Fe,a typical immiscible alloy,in bulk state by high pressure torsion,which pro-vides a great freedom over powders for studying the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties in the process of the phase decomposition in immiscible alloys.We found that in the Cu-Fe solid solu-tion,spinodal decomposition of the Fe phases took place at the initial stage of annealing through volume diffusion.This process gives rise to:(1)metastableγ-Fe particles in the Cu grains with coherent Fe/Cu interface,and(2)the more stableα-Fe phase at the grain boundaries.This process was accompanied by moving boundary reaction which first proceeded in the pattern of spinodal decomposition and then changed into classical nucleation-growth mode with the depletion of Fe atoms in Cu.The resultant Cu-Fe nanocomposites were jointly strengthened by the ultrafine Cu andα-Fe grains according to the rule of mixture,including grain boundary strengthening and the hardening of nanoscaleγ-Fe precipitates in the Cu grains.The effects of different strengthening mechanisms were scrutinized and their contributions to mechanical properties were quantitatively evaluated.This work sheds light onto the opportunity of designing and fabricating nanostructured composites via phase decomposition in immiscible systems.
