CFD data of unsteady cavitation around a hydrofoil, based on an extended Schnerr-Sauer model coupled with a nucleation model.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article were the basis for the study reported in the research articles entitled "Characterization of unsteady cavitating flow regimes around a hydrofoil, based on an extended Schnerr-Sauer model coupled with a nucleation model" (De Giorgi et al., 2018)[1]. The reference study presented a spatio-temporal characterization of different cavitating flow regimes using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The authors evaluated the accuracy of an extended Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model. The accuracy of the numerical model has been improved by means of the introduction of a Density Correction Model of the turbulent viscosity, and a simplified Population Balance Modeling (PBM).

Research on Noise-Induced Characteristics of Unsteady Cavitation of a Jet Pump.

Project description:The dynamic cavitation characteristics of normal-temperature water flowing through a transparent jet pump under different cavitation conditions were experimentally studied by adjusting the pressure ratio. The common results are presented at different pressure ratios, including the temporal and spatial changes of the pressure and noise, together with the visual observation of the cavitation unsteady behaviors using a high-speed camera. The analyses on the measured data and images reveal that the cavitation cloud is generated by periodic oscillations of the jet traveling pressure wave and the bubble traveling pressure wave. The oscillation of the two kinds of interface waves is caused by the collapse of the bubbles, which is the main mechanism of the bubble cloud shedding. As the pressure ratio increases, the maximum length of the jet cloud and bubble cloud linearly decreases, while their oscillation frequency increases gradually. Combined with the cavitation-cloud visualization data and noise frequency analysis, it is proposed that the strong impact between the jet traveling pressure wave and the bubble traveling pressure wave is the main cause of noise. Specially, the acoustic pressure reaches the maximum when the oscillation frequency of the jet traveling pressure wave is the same as that of the bubble traveling pressure wave. Also, the jet traveling pressure wave has a great influence on the migration of bubbles in the cavity. The results can provide guidance for the optimal operating condition in cavitation applications such as jet aerator and quantitative addition.

Experimental study of cavitating flow around a NACA 0012 hydrofoil in a slit channel.

Project description:An experimental study of a cavitating NACA0012 hydrofoil with aspect ratio 0.02 in a slit channel was carried out using a high-speed visualization at sampling rate more than 100 kHz. The features of the formation and development of cavities in a quasi-two-dimensional turbulent flow were studied. The most energetic modes of unsteady cavitation flow around the hydrofoil were obtained using dynamic mode decomposition. The presence of the second and third modes in the cavitation flow is shown here for the first time. It was shown that each of these modes corresponds to a certain period of development of the unsteady cavity. Experimental data on the reverse motion of the vapor-gas mixture into the inner region of supercavitation are presented.

Ultrasound cavitation induced nucleation in metal solidification: An analytical model and validation by real-time experiments.

Project description:Microstructural refinement of metallic alloys via ultrasonic melt processing (USMP) is an environmentally friendly and promising method. However, so far there has been no report in open literature on how to predict the solidified microstructures and grain size based on the ultrasound processing parameters.In this paper, an analytical model is developed to calculate the cavitation enhanced undercooling and the USMP refined solidification microstructure and grain size for Al-Cu alloys. Ultrafast synchrotron X-ray imaging and tomography techniques were used to collect the real-time experimental data for validating the model and the calculated results. The comparison between modeling and experiments reveal that there exists an effective ultrasound input power intensity for maximizing the grain refinement effects for the Al-Cu alloys, which is in the range of 20-45 MW/m2. In addition, a monotonous increase in temperature during USMP has negative effect on producing new nuclei, deteriorating the benefit of microstructure refinement due to the application of ultrasound.

High Speed Imaging of Cavitation around Dental Ultrasonic Scaler Tips.

Project description:Cavitation occurs around dental ultrasonic scalers, which are used clinically for removing dental biofilm and calculus. However it is not known if this contributes to the cleaning process. Characterisation of the cavitation around ultrasonic scalers will assist in assessing its contribution and in developing new clinical devices for removing biofilm with cavitation. The aim is to use high speed camera imaging to quantify cavitation patterns around an ultrasonic scaler. A Satelec ultrasonic scaler operating at 29 kHz with three different shaped tips has been studied at medium and high operating power using high speed imaging at 15,000, 90,000 and 250,000 frames per second. The tip displacement has been recorded using scanning laser vibrometry. Cavitation occurs at the free end of the tip and increases with power while the area and width of the cavitation cloud varies for different shaped tips. The cavitation starts at the antinodes, with little or no cavitation at the node. High speed image sequences combined with scanning laser vibrometry show individual microbubbles imploding and bubble clouds lifting and moving away from the ultrasonic scaler tip, with larger tip displacement causing more cavitation.

CFD simulation data of a pico-hydro turbine.

Project description:This paper presents the data obtained from the CFD simulation of a pico-hydraulic turbine designed for electric power generation in residential units. Pico-hydro turbine systems are a booming option that seeks to take advantage of small waterfalls and/or streams to generate electricity in a clean way. The data collection process was carried out through simulations developed to a model created in SolidWorks, with the help of the ANSYS CFX software in which the solver configuration was adjusted to the parameters suggested by the manufacturer's manuals (ANSYS) and the boundary conditions were determined based on the current regulatory standards for drinking water systems for Colombia. These boundary conditions influence the operation of the turbine, which is why three runs were carried out corresponding to three points of operation and to obtain the output pressure, the fall of the turbine and the hydraulic power that the device would utilise. The data, acquired in a strict manner, offers potential support for further research in the area and the possible manufacture of prototypes. It also encourages the development of simulations and laboratory tests of this type of device in which geometric factors or operating conditions could be modified.

An extended dynamical hydration shell around proteins.

Project description:The focus in protein folding has been very much on the protein backbone and sidechains. However, hydration waters make comparable contributions to the structure and energy of proteins. The coupling between fast hydration dynamics and protein dynamics is considered to play an important role in protein folding. Fundamental questions of protein hydration include, how far out into the solvent does the influence of the biomolecule reach, how is the water affected, and how are the properties of the hydration water influenced by the separation between protein molecules in solution? We show here that Terahertz spectroscopy directly probes such solvation dynamics around proteins, and determines the width of the dynamical hydration layer. We also investigate the dependence of solvation dynamics on protein concentration. We observe an unexpected nonmonotonic trend in the measured terahertz absorbance of the five helix bundle protein lambda(6-85)* as a function of the protein: water molar ratio. The trend can be explained by overlapping solvation layers around the proteins. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate water dynamics in the solvation layer around one protein to be distinct from bulk water out to approximately 10 A. At higher protein concentrations such that solvation layers overlap, the calculated absorption spectrum varies nonmonotonically, qualitatively consistent with the experimental observations. The experimental data suggest an influence on the correlated water network motion beyond 20 A, greater than the pure structural correlation length usually observed.

Numerical and Experimental Analyses of Three- Dimensional Unsteady Flow around a Micro-Pillar Subjected to Rotational Vibration.

Project description:The steady streaming (SS) phenomenon is gaining increased attention in the microfluidics community, because it can generate net mass flow from zero-mean vibration. We developed numerical simulation and experimental measurement tools to analyze this vibration-induced flow, which has been challenging due to its unsteady nature. The validity of these analysis methods is confirmed by comparing the three-dimensional (3D) flow field and the resulting particle trajectories induced around a cylindrical micro-pillar under circular vibration. In the numerical modeling, we directly solved the flow in the Lagrangian frame so that the substrate with a micro-pillar becomes stationary, and the results were converted to a stationary Eulerian frame to compare with the experimental results. The present approach enables us to avoid the introduction of a moving boundary or infinitesimal perturbation approximation. The flow field obtained by the micron-resolution particle image velocimetry (micro-PIV) measurement supported the three-dimensionality observed in the numerical results, which could be important for controlling the mass transport and manipulating particulate objects in microfluidic systems.

Anatomical regulation of ice nucleation and cavitation helps trees to survive freezing and drought stress.

Project description:Water in the xylem, the water transport system of plants, is vulnerable to freezing and cavitation, i.e. to phase change from liquid to ice or gaseous phase. The former is a threat in cold and the latter in dry environmental conditions. Here we show that a small xylem conduit diameter, which has previously been shown to be associated with lower cavitation pressure thus making a plant more drought resistant, is also associated with a decrease in the temperature required for ice nucleation in the xylem. Thus the susceptibility of freezing and cavitation are linked together in the xylem of plants. We explain this linkage by the regulation of the sizes of the nuclei catalysing freezing and drought cavitation. Our results offer better understanding of the similarities of adaption of plants to cold and drought stress, and offer new insights into the ability of plants to adapt to the changing environment.

Secondary Nucleation by Interparticle Energies. III. Nucleation Rate Model.

Project description:A nucleation rate model for describing the kinetics of secondary nucleation caused by interparticle energies (SNIPEs) is derived theoretically, verified numerically, and validated experimentally. The theoretical derivation reveals that the SNIPE mechanism can be viewed as enhanced primary nucleation, i.e., primary nucleation with a lower thermodynamic energy barrier (for nucleation) and a smaller critical nucleus size, both caused by the interparticle interactions and the associated energy between the surface of a seed crystal and a molecular cluster in solution, as shown in part I of this series. In the case of a sufficiently agitated suspension, the model depends on four parameters: two reflecting primary nucleation kinetics and the other two accounting for the intensity and effective spatial range of the interparticle interactions. As a numerical verification of the model, we show that the nucleation kinetics described by the SNIPE rate model is in quantitative agreement with those given by the kinetic rate equation model developed in part II of this series. A sensitivity analysis of the SNIPE rate model is conducted to present the effect of key model parameters on the nucleation kinetics. Moreover, the SNIPE rate model is validated by fitting the model to the time-resolved data of secondary nucleation experiments as well as to two other, well-known secondary nucleation rate models. Importantly, all of the estimated parameter values for the SNIPE model were consistent with the theoretical estimates, while some of the estimated parameter values for one of the well-known secondary nucleation models deviated from the corresponding theoretical values significantly.

CFD and experimental data of closed-loop wind tunnel flow.

Project description:The data presented in this article were the basis for the study reported in the research articles entitled 'A validated design methodology for a closed loop subsonic wind tunnel' (Calautit et al., 2014) [1], which presented a systematic investigation into the design, simulation and analysis of flow parameters in a wind tunnel using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The authors evaluated the accuracy of replicating the flow characteristics for which the wind tunnel was designed using numerical simulation. Here, we detail the numerical and experimental set-up for the analysis of the closed-loop subsonic wind tunnel with an empty test section.
