摘要: 采用耦合水平集和流体体积(CLSVOF)法对等直径的玻璃微珠液滴对心碰撞过程进行数值模拟,重点研究了玻璃微珠液滴碰撞分离过程中的物理机制. 在与正十四烷液滴碰撞实验对比验证的基础上,数值研究了分离过程中玻璃微珠液滴的形态变化和能量变化规律. 研究表明,玻璃微珠液滴碰撞分离过程所需能量主要由液滴动能和表面能提供,且动能大部分转化为黏性耗散能. 通过对液滴能量和平均总压变化分析,得出液滴碰撞分离的4种状态,即径向拉伸到极限、径向收缩和轴向拉伸达到平衡、轴向拉伸到极限和液滴液桥夹断分离. 分析了4种状态的速度和压力分布,得出末端夹断机制是液滴碰撞分离的主要原因. 研究结果可为丰富玻璃微珠液滴碰撞理论提供基础.

Abstract: The coupled level set and volume of fluid (CLSVOF) method was used to simulate the collision process of glass bead droplets with the same diameter, with the physical mechanism during the collision-separation behavior of glass bead droplets mainly studied. Based on the comparative verification with n-tetradecane droplet collision experiments, the morphological changes and energy change patterns of glass bead droplets during the separation process were investigated numerically. The research shows that, the energy required for the collision and separation process of glass bead droplets mainly comes from the kinetic energy and surface energy of the droplets, and most of the kinetic energy would convert into viscous dissipation energy. Through the analysis of the changes of droplet energy and average total pressure, 4 important states of droplet collision and separation were obtained, including the radial stretching to limit, the radial contraction and axial stretching to balance, the axial stretching to limit, and the droplet bridge pinching separation. The velocity and pressure distributions of the 4 states were discussed. The results reveal that, the end pinchoff mechanism is a main cause for droplet collisional separation. The work provides a basis for enriching the theory about glass bead droplet collisions.-
