Spray and mixing characteristics of liquid jet in a tubular gas-liquid atomization mixer

For the design and optimization of a tubular gas-liquid atomization mixer,the atomization and mixing characteristics of liquid jet breakup in the limited tube space is a key problem.In this study,the primary breakup process of liquid jet columnwas analyzed by high-speed camera,then the droplet size and velocity distribution of atomized droplets were measured by Phase-Doppler anemometry(PDA).The hydrodynamic characteristics of gas flow in tubular gas-liquid atomization mixer were analyzed by computational fluid dynamics(CFD)numerical simulation.The results indicate that the liquid flow rate has little effect on the atomization droplet size and atomization pressure drop,and the gas flowrate is themain influence parameter.Under all experimental gas flowconditions,the liquid jet column undergoes a primary breakup process,forming larger liquid blocks and droplets.When the gas flow rate(Qg)is less than 127 m^(3)·h^(−1),the secondary breakup of large liquid blocks and droplets does not occur in venturi throat region.The Sauter mean diameter(SMD)of droplets measured at the outlet is more than 140μm,and the distribution is uneven.When Qg>127 m^(3)·h^(−1),the large liquid blocks and droplets have secondary breakup process at the throat region.The SMD of droplets measured at the outlet is less than 140μm,and the distribution is uniform.When 127<Qg<162m^(3)·h^(−1),the secondary breakup mode of droplets is bag breakup or pouch breakup.When 181<Qg<216m^(3)·h^(−1),the secondary breakup mode of droplets is shear breakup or catastrophic breakup.In order to ensure efficient atomization and mixing,the throat gas velocity of the tubular atomization mixer should be designed to be about 51 m·s^(−1) under the lowest operating flow rate.The pressure drop of the tubular atomization mixer increases linearly with the square of gas velocity,and the resistance coefficient is about 2.55 in single-phase flow condition and 2.73 in gas-liquid atomization condition.

Nonlinear Interaction and Entanglement Transfer from SU(1,1) Coherent State to Mixed Atoms

For nonlinear interactions with different forms of intensity-dependent coupling, entanglement transfer from the correlated two-mode SU（1,1） coherent states （SCS） to the initially separable and mixed atoms is investigated. It is found that suitable intensity-dependent coupling can enhance the entanglement transfer and make the atomic entanglement evolve periodically especially for the initially mixed atomic states. For SCS, the entanglement between the two modes is strengthened with the increase of the photon number difference （PND） between the two modes of the fields. When PND is odd, the entanglement between the atoms is less than that when PND is even.

Effects of Atomic Mixing in Inertial Confinement Fusion by Multifluid Interpenetration Mix Model

The effects of atomic-level rnixing are systemically investigated in a multifluid interpenetration mix model ,and results are compared with the single-fluid model＇s simulations and experimental data. It is shown that increasing the model free parameter α, shock Mach number, and the initial density discontinuity makes the mix length and fraction of mixing particle increase, resulting in the lower shock temperatures compared with the results of single-fluid model without mixing. Recent high-compressibility direct-drive spherical implosions on OMEGA are simulated by the interpenetration mix modal. The calculations with atomic mixing between fuel and shell match quite well with the observations. Without considering any mixing, the calculated neutron yields and ion temperatures are overpredicted; while inclusion of the interpenetration mix model with the adjustable parameter α could fit the simulated neutron yields and ion temperatures well with experimental data.
