Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cold atomization technology and relates to a numerical simulation method and related apparatus for dual-jet impact atomization. Background Technology
[0002] Dual-jet impingement atomizing nozzles are widely used in liquid rocket engines due to their simple structure and excellent atomization characteristics. The mixing and atomization characteristics of oxidizer and propellant have a significant impact on combustion stability and thrust characteristics within the engine. The quality of atomization directly affects ignition, combustion efficiency, and flame stability. Therefore, research on the atomization mechanism of dual-jet impingement atomization is of great significance for engine design.
[0003] Existing research methods can be broadly categorized into three types: experimental simulation, meshed numerical simulation, and meshless numerical simulation. However, experimental methods suffer from poor accuracy in analyzing atomization field characteristics, and meshed methods are prone to convergence issues when dealing with large deformation problems such as impact atomization. Meshless methods, on the other hand, offer high accuracy in post-processing and do not exhibit convergence issues due to mesh limitations when calculating large deformation problems. In the numerical simulation of dual-jet impact atomization using the semi-implicit moving particle method, the physical quantities of each fluid particle are obtained by weighted averaging the physical quantities of other fluid particles within a spherical region centered on that particle and with a radius equal to 1.2 times the interparticle spacing. There are no fixed topological relationships between particles, which is a fundamental condition for this method to easily simulate large deformation flows.
[0004] However, current experimental and numerical simulation methods struggle to accurately obtain the distribution characteristics and droplet size variation patterns of droplets within the fog field during post-processing, hindering engine design. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem that it is difficult to accurately obtain the distribution characteristics and droplet size variation law of droplets in the fog field in the prior art, and to provide a numerical simulation method and related device for dual-jet impact atomization.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a numerical simulation method for dual-jet impact atomization, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Establish the computational domain and build a three-dimensional pipeline model based on the pipeline parameters;
[0009] Perform explicit and implicit calculations on the 3D pipeline model;
[0010] The particle information from the calculation process is exported and then post-processed for analysis.
[0011] Secondly, the present invention provides a numerical simulation system for dual-jet impact atomization, comprising:
[0012] The modeling module is used to establish the computational domain and create a 3D pipeline model based on the pipeline parameters.
[0013] The calculation module is used to perform explicit and implicit calculations on the 3D pipeline model;

[0016] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the numerical simulation method for dual-jet impact atomization as described above.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This invention discloses a numerical simulation method and related apparatus for dual-jet impact atomization. Using a meshless numerical simulation method, it realizes the entire process in three-dimensional space from the formation of a liquid film after jet atomization, the breakup of the liquid film into liquid filaments, and the further formation of liquid droplets. The established numerical model can calculate dual-jet impact atomization with different mass flow rates and impact angles, and analyzes and visualizes the liquid breakup process, breakup mechanism, particle distribution, atomization angle, and average droplet size within the atomization field. This invention, through three-dimensional numerical simulation, confirms the accuracy of the results, achieving accurate prediction and post-processing analysis of the liquid breakup atomization process based on a dual-jet impact atomization nozzle. It provides an intuitive theoretical basis for fog field prediction and in-depth analysis of atomization results in dual-jet impact atomization. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0034] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0035] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "horizontal," or "inner" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of the invention is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] Furthermore, the use of the term "horizontal" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0038] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0039] See Figure 1 This invention provides a numerical simulation method for dual-jet impact atomization, comprising the following steps:
[0040] S1. Establish the computational domain and build a three-dimensional pipeline model based on the pipeline parameters;
[0041] S2 performs explicit and implicit calculations on the three-dimensional pipeline model;
[0042] S3 exports the particle information from the calculation process and performs post-processing analysis.
[0043] In one feasible embodiment of the present invention, the computational domain includes a liquid film region, a liquid filament region, and a fully developed region when the fog field is stable.
[0044] In one feasible embodiment of the present invention, the step of establishing a three-dimensional pipeline model based on pipeline parameters includes: determining the pipeline inner diameter r1, pipeline outer diameter r2, pipeline length L, pipeline axis normal vector a, pipeline axis starting point coordinate b, and particle spacing r, and setting the inlet boundary velocity condition, inlet boundary position, and outlet boundary position based on actual needs.
[0045] In one feasible embodiment of the present invention, the explicit and implicit calculations in the three-dimensional pipeline model include:
[0046] S201, set the import boundary conditions and export boundary conditions, set parameters and initialize variables;
[0047] S202, solve the viscous and volume force terms in the basic governing equations of fluid mechanics, and perform explicit calculations;
[0048] S203, construct a matrix to solve the pressure Poisson equation;
[0049] S204 calculates the pressure gradient and implicitly corrects the particle position information.
[0050] In one feasible embodiment of the present invention, the step of exporting particle information from the calculation process and performing post-processing analysis includes:
[0051] S301, export the particle information from the calculation processes of S202, S203 and S204;
[0052] S302 uses the exported particle information to perform post-processing analysis on the calculation results, determines the stabilization time and stabilization state of the fog field, and analyzes the atomization angle, average droplet size, and spatial distribution and trend of droplet size in the atomization field of the dual-jet impact atomization.
[0053] In one feasible embodiment of the present invention, S302 specifically includes:
[0054] (1) The droplets in the fog field are distinguished by recursion and the state information of each droplet is obtained;
[0055] (2) Based on the state information of each droplet, analyze the volume, position and atomization angle of each droplet;
[0056] (3) Based on the volume, position and atomization angle of the droplets, the fog field characteristics at stable times under multiple working conditions are statistically analyzed to obtain the variation law of particle size and fog field characteristics under each working condition.
[0057] The principle behind the recursive idea is as follows:
[0058] Figure 11 (a) represents the relative positions of the particles, where the radius of action of the kernel function is r. e Let be the search radius. Taking particle a in Figure (a) as an example, and particles b and c within the search range, then a, b, and c are considered to be particles within the same droplet. Figure 11 (b) is a schematic diagram of the staining process. First, a recursive search is performed on particle a to find neighboring particles b and c, and these are then stained. Next, a recursive search is performed on neighboring particles d and e of particle b, and these are stained as well. Once the recursive search for particle b is complete, the same recursive search is performed on particle c until the search ends, thus completing the staining process for particle a. Other particles are stained in the same way. Finally, particles with the same color are determined to be within the same droplet; thus, the states of all droplets in the fog field are obtained.
[0059] See Figure 2 This invention provides a numerical simulation system for dual-jet impact atomization, comprising:
[0060] The modeling module is used to establish the computational domain and create a 3D pipeline model based on the pipeline parameters.
[0061] The calculation module is used to perform explicit and implicit calculations on the 3D pipeline model;
[0062] The analysis module is used to export particle information from the calculation process and perform post-processing analysis.
[0063] See Figure 12 This invention provides a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. The device is characterized in that the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the numerical simulation method for dual-jet impact atomization.

[0065] Example:
[0066] Establish the computational domain; the computational domain for dual-jet impact atomization should be able to include the liquid film region, liquid filament region, and fully developed region when the fog field is stable. The physical parameters of the medium water in this numerical simulation are shown in the table below:

[0068]
[0069] The coordinates of the computational domain in this embodiment are shown in the table below:
[0070] Table 2
[0071]
[0072] The computational domain cannot be too large, otherwise the computational efficiency will be greatly reduced; nor can it be too small, otherwise the particles will be deleted because they exceed the computational domain.
[0073] 3D pipeline modeling.
[0074] 3D pipeline modeling requires determining six specific parameters: pipeline inner diameter r1, pipeline outer diameter r2, pipeline length L, pipeline axis normal vector a, pipeline axis starting point coordinates b, and particle spacing r. The pipeline modeling data in this embodiment is as follows:
[0075] Table 3
[0076]
[0077] Set inlet and outlet boundary conditions, set parameters, and initialize variables;
[0078] The import boundary conditions are set at the fully developed speed of imports, with a maximum speed of u. max The velocity formula is R is the inner diameter of the pipe, and d is the distance between the fluid particles in the inlet region and the pipe axis.
[0079] Solve the viscous and volume force terms in the fundamental governing equations of fluid mechanics by performing explicit calculations;
[0080] Construct a matrix to solve the pressure Poisson equation;
[0081] Solve for the pressure gradient and perform implicit calculations to correct information such as particle position.
[0082] Export particle information during the calculation process;
[0083] The calculation results are post-processed and analyzed to determine the stabilization time and stabilization state of the fog field. The atomization cone angle, average droplet size, and spatial distribution and variation trend of the droplet size of the atomization field of the dual jet impact atomization are analyzed.
[0084] When calculating the average droplet diameter within the atomization field, the entire atomization field is divided into segments every 5 mm along the direction of atomization development, starting from the pipe inlet. The Sottle average diameter within each segment is calculated using equation (1):
[0085]
[0086] When analyzing the distribution of droplet size, it is necessary to first divide the droplets in the entire fog field into several parts according to their volume, and then obtain the positional distribution of droplets within different volume ranges.
[0087] Based on the droplet size distribution and droplet volume distribution under different operating conditions, the distribution characteristics of droplets in the dual-jet impact atomization field can be obtained.
