Simulation and experiment on the atomization performance of liquid-liquid coaxial centrifugal dual injectors

摘要:
为深入研究液液同轴离心式双喷嘴的雾化场,构建了基于VOF-to-DPM(volume of fluid to discrete phase model)的跨尺度计算框架,并结合冷流实验开展验证与对比分析。经验证,该仿真模型所获得喷雾锥角误差控制在0.85%,索太尔平均直径误差控制在20%以内,均在可接受范围内。研究发现对于液液同轴离心式喷嘴,内、外喷嘴流量增大,喷雾锥角缓慢增大,交汇区与非交汇区的粒径同步减小。喷嘴轴距离对双喷嘴雾化特性的影响通过布置不同距离的喷嘴进行仿真研究。结果说明喷雾轴距增大的同时,喷雾锥角会逐渐增大。而液滴的索太尔平均直径的变化规律与液膜碰撞状态相关:碰撞点位于连续稳定的液膜处时,轴距增大会使平均粒径减小;碰撞点处于破碎过程中的不稳定液膜处时,粒径变化趋势相反。

Abstract:To investigate the atomization field of liquid-liquid coaxial centrifugal dual injectors, a cross-scale computational framework based on the VOF-to-DPM (volume of fluid to discrete phase model) method was constructed and validated through comparative analysis with cold-flow experiments. The simulation model achieved a spray cone angle error of within 0.85% and the Sauter mean diameter error of no more than 20%. The study found that for the liquid-liquid coaxial centrifugal injector, an increase in the flow rates of both the inner and outer injectors led to a gradual increase in the spray cone angle, while the droplet size simultaneously decreased in both the interaction and non-interaction zones. The influence of inter-injector distance on the atomization characteristics was also examined. Simulation results for different injectors spacings indicated that as the distance between the spray plumes increased, the spray cone angle gradually increased. The variation pattern of the Sauter mean diameter of the droplets was related to the state of liquid film interaction: when the interaction point lied within a continuous and stable liquid film, a larger injector spacing resulted in a smaller Sauter mean diameter; conversely, when the interaction occurred within an unstable, breaking liquid film, the trend was reversed.
