Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cloud and fog research and artificial weather influencing, and in particular relates to a device and method for using a strong laser to influence a cloud and fog-unsaturated air turbulence mixing process. Background Art

[0002] The turbulent entrainment and mixing process between cloud-saturated air and surrounding unsaturated air is one of the most uncertain processes in cloud physics and dynamics, and is considered the key to unlocking the mystery of warm cloud precipitation. However, due to the limitations of research methods such as numerical simulations and aircraft observations, our understanding of the mechanisms by which turbulent entrainment and mixing affect clouds and fog is far from complete.

[0003] Cloud chambers are essential instruments for studying cloud microphysics and dynamical processes in the field of weather modification. my country has built a variety of cloud chambers with diverse functions, ranging in volume from tens to hundreds of cubic meters. Specialized cloud chambers are also available, such as patent application CN1557132A, which discloses a mixing cloud chamber for simulating supercooled fog; and patent application CN111145626A, which describes a device for simulating laser travel through different cloud layers. Research conducted in these cloud chambers has provided valuable data for the development of cloud physics theory and weather modification technology. However, due to the lack of stable and controllable laboratory simulations, our understanding of the turbulent mixing process between cloud and unsaturated air remains limited. With the continuous advancement of theoretical research, the need for a stable, reliable, and versatile specialized cloud chamber to validate relevant theoretical models is becoming increasingly prominent. Furthermore, because cloud-unsaturated air mixing involves multiphase flow, the flow at the interface between the two phases is extremely complex, making traditional measurement methods incapable of observing this process. Therefore, new flow field methods are needed to observe mixing processes at the water-air interface.

[0004] On the other hand, femtosecond laser is a new way to influence clouds and fog that has attracted much attention internationally in recent years and has broad application prospects. Femtosecond strong laser pulses are focused into light filament structures in the air, which can deposit a large amount of energy in a short period of time, thereby generating significant turbulent disturbances, which have a significant impact on local clouds and fog. However, the specific mechanism of how the turbulent disturbances induced by this strong laser affect clouds and fog has not been well revealed. More importantly, existing laboratory experiments on the influence of femtosecond lasers on clouds and fog are all carried out in small closed cavities. The simulated cloud and fog environment is single and the conditions are harsh, which also makes this technology highly questionable. Therefore, the technology of using femtosecond strong lasers to influence clouds and fog needs further detailed observation experiments to conduct in-depth verification of the relevant mechanisms and technical feasibility, so as to more quickly infer the application of this technology.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a device and method for using a strong laser to influence the cloud-unsaturated air turbulent mixing process to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0041] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for influencing a cloud-unsaturated air turbulent mixing process using a strong laser, comprising:

[0047] The photographing and recording component is arranged corresponding to the cloud simulation chamber 1.

[0048] When the present invention is used, an appropriate amount of water is first added to the cloud simulation chamber 1, and then the boundary is first defined and then blocked by the strong laser intervention component, and the water temperature is adjusted to a specified value by the temperature control component 16, and then the cloud generation component is started to make the cloud reach the preset boundary, and then the change pattern of the cloud is recorded by the photographing and recording component; then the cloud simulation chamber 1 is emptied, the temperature of the water layer 23 is adjusted again, the cloud generation component is started to the boundary, and then the baffle blocking the strong laser intervention component is removed to allow the femtosecond laser pulse to pass through the cloud, and the change pattern of the cloud under the influence of the femtosecond laser pulse of this intensity is recorded, the influence of the femtosecond laser pulse being greater than the cloud and fog mixing is studied, and recorded by the photographing and recording component. The device of the present invention can form a temperature gradient in the vertical direction with the laboratory temperature by changing the temperature of the water layer 23 at the bottom of the cloud simulation chamber 1, thereby simulating the cloud-unsaturated air turbulent mixing process in atmospheric environments such as unstable troposphere and stable inversion layer, and can be used to study the effect of artificial intervention in this process using strong laser. It has a simple structure, simulates diverse atmospheric environments, is easy to operate, and can be used to study the influence of turbulent disturbances on cloud droplet behavior, providing a reference for cloud physics research and the development of artificial weather modification technology.

[0050] A further optimization scheme involves the cloud simulation chamber 1 comprising a base plate horizontally fixed between several columns 2, with walls fixed between adjacent columns 2, the side edges of the walls fixed in pairs, and the bottom ends of the walls sealed and fixed to the top surface of the base plate. The cloud generation assembly is located below the base plate and communicates with the interior of the cloud simulation chamber 1. The cloud simulation chamber 1 comprises a glass base plate and four plexiglass walls, each with a number of light holes for laser light to pass through, reducing interference from the walls. A slot (not shown) is located at the top of the wall, allowing for the installation of plexiglass to increase the height of the wall. The cloud generation assembly is located below the base plate to simulate the generation of cloud fog entering the cloud simulation chamber 1.

[0051] In a further optimized solution, the cloud simulation chamber 1 contains a water layer 23, and the drainage assembly 17 and temperature control assembly 16 are both disposed corresponding to the water layer 23. The water layer 23 uses distilled water. The temperature control assembly 16 is used to regulate the temperature of the water layer 23, stabilizing the temperature of the bottom water layer 23 at any value between 5°C and 30°C. The drainage assembly 17 is used to drain the water layer 23 contained in the cloud simulation chamber 1.

[0052] Further optimization scheme, the cloud mist generating assembly includes an ultrasonic atomizer 13, the ultrasonic atomizer 13 is fixedly connected and communicated with a collecting base 14 arranged below the bottom plate, the top of the collecting base 14 is fixedly connected and communicated with an upper delivery pipe 15, and the upper delivery pipe 15 passes through the bottom plate and extends into the cloud simulation chamber 1. The cloud mist generating assembly is composed of an ultrasonic atomizer 13 at the bottom, a collecting base 14, a fan, a flow meter and an upper delivery pipe 15. The collecting base 14 is used to concentrate the cloud droplets generated by the ultrasonic atomizer 13. The fan has a suction function and is used to draw the droplets from the collecting base 14 into the cloud simulation chamber 1. The fan speed can be used to adjust the concentration of the droplets. In this embodiment, the water layer 23 is 5 cm high and the length of the upper delivery pipe 15 is 40 cm, which can generate an ascending airflow close to laminar flow. The number of ultrasonic atomizers 13 can be multiple, and the concentration of the mist-containing airflow is controlled by the number of ultrasonic atomizers 13 turned on and the rotation speed of the fan not marked in the figure.

[0053] To further optimize the solution, the high-intensity laser intervention component includes a femtosecond laser 10, the emission port of which faces the cloud simulation chamber 1 and is equipped with a focusing lens 11. A first light hole 12 and a second light hole 24 corresponding to the emission port of the femtosecond laser 10 are sequentially opened on the wall. A light blocker 7 is correspondingly provided on the side of the second light hole 24 away from the first light hole 12. The femtosecond laser pulse emitted by the femtosecond laser 10 passes through the focusing lens 11 and is emitted into the cloud simulation chamber 1 through the first light hole 12. A light filament is formed above the upper conveying pipe 15 in the cloud simulation chamber 1, then exits from the second light hole 24 and is finally blocked by the light blocker 7 to prevent it from affecting other objects.

The lowest thermocouple temperature sensor 6 just immerses in the water, allowing for gradient measurement of temperature changes. There are 10 humidity sensors 8, arranged vertically at equal intervals, each 8cm apart. The lowest humidity sensor 8 is 20cm away from the water surface, allowing for gradient measurement of humidity changes.

[0055] A further optimized solution is that the photo recording component includes a CCD camera 18, and the lens of the CCD camera 18 faces the cloud simulation chamber 1; an observation port 19 corresponding to the lens of the CCD camera 18 is provided on the wall; the two wall surfaces adjacent to the wall surface with the observation port 19 are respectively provided with a third light hole 20 and a reflector 9, and the reflector 9 is provided corresponding to the third light hole 20; a cylindrical mirror 21 is provided at the end of the third light hole 20 away from the reflector 9, and a second laser 22 is provided at the end of the cylindrical mirror 21 away from the third light hole 20, and the emission port of the second laser 22 is provided corresponding to the cylindrical mirror 21. The photographic recording system consists of a second laser 22, an observation window, a reflector 9, a CCD camera 18, a third light hole 20, and a cylindrical mirror 21. The observation window is a flange hole that is long in the vertical direction and short in the horizontal direction. The reflector 9 is located on the left chamber wall and is arranged corresponding to the third light hole 20. It enhances the light intensity in the imaging plane through reflection. The second laser 22 uses a double-pulse Nd:YAG laser with the following parameters: wavelength 532nm, single pulse energy 30mJ, and pulse width 5ns. The light beam emitted by the second laser 22 generates a sheet-like irradiation beam after passing through the cylindrical mirror 21. After passing through the third light hole 20, it irradiates the cloud droplets on the water layer 23. The generated scattered light is recorded by the CCD camera 18. By analyzing the images recorded by two consecutive camera frames and the particle cross-correlation analysis method, the two-dimensional velocity field distribution of the particles can be obtained.

[0056] Furthermore, the CCD camera 18 may be a high-definition SLR camera, a high-speed CCD camera, or a light field CCD camera 18 .

[0057] Furthermore, an aerosol particle size spectrometer may be added at an appropriate position in the cloud simulation chamber 1 to record changes in cloud particle concentration and particle size.

Turn on the strong laser intervention component and adjust the laser pulse energy so that the femtosecond laser pulse forms a light filament structure in the middle of the cloud simulation chamber (1), and record the height of the filament; S2. Block the strong laser intervention component outlet and inject distilled water into the bottom of the cloud simulation chamber (1) to form a water layer (23); S3. Turn on the temperature control component (16), heat the water layer (23) to a specified value, read the temperature value at the corresponding height, and record the temperature value change over time; S4. When the temperature at the corresponding altitude changes by less than 5% in one minute, activate the cloud generation component and set the corresponding parameters. S5. Start the camera recording component to record the movement of cloud particles; S6. After the set time is met, the cloud generating component is turned off and the change process of the cloud and fog airflow is recorded; S7. After the fog dissipates naturally, the fog simulation chamber (1) is thoroughly ventilated to remove all droplets and restore the original state, thereby preparing conditions for the next measurement; S8. Repeat steps S1-S5; S9. When the cloud reaches the filament height, remove the object blocking the exit of the high-intensity laser intervention module and record the particle motion image in the focal area of ​​the corresponding femtosecond laser pulse. S10. After the set time is met, the cloud generating component is turned off and the changing process of the cloud and fog airflow is recorded using the camera recording component; S11. Repeat S1-S10 and conduct multiple comparison experiments; S12. Compare the differences in component particle images taken at different times without and with strong laser intervention, and analyze the effects of strong laser intervention.
