超音速微粒轰击表面纳米强化多通道喷嘴气固双相流的数值模拟

Numerical simulation of the gas-solid two-phase flow inside the multi-channel nozzle for the surface nano-crystallization in the USPP process

采用气固双相流模型(离散相模型)研究了超音速微粒轰击表面纳米强化多通道耦合喷嘴的流场,通过计算,分析了气固两相速度场以及固体颗粒在气体流场中的轨迹。模拟结果发现,气体—颗粒双相射流中,气固两相射流速度均可以达到超音速,而且颗粒相的分散度小于气体,粒径小于5μm的颗粒相其分散度随颗粒粒径增大而减小,大于5μm的颗粒相其射流分散度基本稳定,颗粒相粒子集中在各通道射流中心线附近。最佳表面纳米强化处理距离在120 mm附近。模拟结果有助于设计面向大规模表面纳米强化处理应用的多通道耦合喷嘴。

Using a gas-solid two-phase model（a discrete phase model）,the authors investigated the flow field inside the multi-channel nozzle for surface nano-crystallization（SNC） induced by ultrasonic particulate peening（USPP）.By computation,the velocity fields of both the gas and the solid phases were simulated and the track of the solid phase was analyzed in detail.It can be found that the velocities of both the two phases are able to reach an ultrasonic level;meanwhile,the dispersion width of the solid phase at the nozzle exit is less than that of the gas phase.When particle diameters are less than 5 μm,there is a decreasing trend in the dispersion width of the solid phase with an increase in particle diameters.The trend becomes stable as the particle diameters are greater than 5 μm;in the meantime,the distribution of solid particles is near the axis of the jet flow.The optimal standoff distance between the nozzle and the substrate in the process of USPP is about 120 mm.Simulation results can help improve the design of mass-production-oriented multi-channel nozzles for SNC induced by USPP.
