Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of experimental research on multiphase hydrodynamic characteristics, and particularly relates to a rotary continuous droplet inclined impact experimental research device and method. Background Art

[0002] The phenomenon of droplet impact is ubiquitous in daily life and industrial production. Existing research mainly focuses on the vertical impact of droplets. In fact, droplets often impact the target surface at an inclined angle rather than the ideal vertical impact. The research on inclined impact can better reflect the droplet dynamic behavior in practical applications.

[0003] The experimental research on droplet inclined impact can be traced back to the 1960s. The main methods for generating inclined droplets in related experiments mainly include electric field or magnetic field acceleration, nozzle jet, air flow blowing, etc. However, in experimental applications, these methods have certain limitations in terms of controllability, consistency, and applicable range.

[0004] The electric field or magnetic field acceleration method is only applicable to charged droplets or liquid working media containing magnetic particles, and has high requirements for the charge characteristics or magnetic response ability of droplets. At the same time, the high electric field or magnetic field environment may change the surface tension and morphology of droplets, resulting in uncertainty in experimental results; although the nozzle jet can precisely control the initial velocity and direction of droplets, it is easy to form a liquid column, and it is difficult to keep the droplet diameter stable; the air flow blowing method can flexibly adjust the droplet movement direction, but it is easily affected by environmental disturbances, and the air flow may change the droplet morphology, affecting the impact dynamic behavior.

[0005] Therefore, developing a new method that is simple and convenient, can reduce external interference, achieve continuous and stable droplet generation, and optimize the control of droplet impact parameters is of great significance for in-depth experimental research on the dynamic characteristics of droplet inclined impact. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a rotary continuous droplet inclined impact experimental research device and method, which is superior to the prior art in terms of controllability, stability, applicability, and data acquisition accuracy in droplet impact experiments.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A rotary continuous droplet inclined impact test research device includes a droplet generation system composed of a pressure device 1, a water tank 2, a sealing plug 3, a conduit 4, a flow regulator 5, a micro-vibrator 6, and a needle 7; a droplet acceleration system composed of a rotating platform 8, a motor 9, an angle regulator 10, and a control box 11; a high-speed imaging system composed of a high-speed camera 13, a computer 14, an LED light source 15, and a calibration scale 16; and a fixed bracket 12 and a target 17. In the droplet generation system, the pressure device 1 generates a stable pressure to control the liquid output rate of the water tank 2 and maintain the rate constant. The water tank 2 is connected to the pressure device 1 and the needle 7 through the conduit 4 respectively. A flow regulator 5 and a micro-vibrator 6 are arranged on the conduit 4 connecting the water tank 2 and the needle 7. The fixed bracket 12 is used to fix and adjust the relative positions of the water tank 2, the needle 7, and the target 17 to achieve the best inclined impact angle under various working conditions. In the droplet acceleration system, the control box 11 controls the rotation speed, start, and stop of the motor 9 and the rotating platform 8. The droplets fall on the rotating platform 8 and are accelerated under the action of surface tension, adhesion, centrifugal force, and gravity. The high-speed camera 13 is placed on one side of the target 17 to capture the evolution and motion behavior of droplet impact. The LED light source 15 is placed on the other side of the target 17 to meet the lighting requirements for shooting.

The other hole is located above the water tank 2. Test liquid is added through this hole, and the water tank 2 is sealed by the sealing plug 3.

[0011] In the droplet generation system, the generation frequency and diameter of the droplets are controlled by the position of the piston 1-2 in the pressure device 1, the frequency of the micro-vibrator 6, and the opening degree of the flow regulator 5, ensuring the repeatability of droplet generation and the reproducibility of the test.

The droplets falling on the rotating platform 8 are accelerated under the action of surface tension, adhesion, centrifugal force and gravity; the angle regulator 10 is provided with scales and can rotate left by 0-90° and has a locking function, which is used to adjust the inclination angle of the rotating platform 8 so that the droplets can impact at the angles set for the working conditions.

[0013] In the high-speed imaging system, the high-speed camera 13 is fixed to the camera mount by threaded connection and can adjust its positions in the X, Y, and Z directions; the images captured by the high-speed camera 13 are connected to the computer 14 through a data cable for image processing and analysis.

[0015] The target 17 is selected as a deep pool, a shallow pool, a liquid film or a wall surface according to the test objectives.

[0016] For the test method corresponding to the test research device, when conducting the research test on the inclined impact of continuous droplets, first fix each test device on the fixed bracket 12 and connect the droplet generation system through the conduit 4; inject deionized water to a certain height through the water inlet of the water tank 2 and seal the water tank 2 with the sealing plug 3, and turn the screw rod 1-5 to pressurize the pressure device 1; turn on the LED light source 15 and the high-speed camera 13 and set the shooting parameters of the high-speed camera 13; adjust the inclination angle of the rotating platform 8 through the angle regulator 10, turn on the motor 9 and set the rotational motion parameters of the rotating platform 8; turn on the micro-vibrator 6 and set the frequency of the micro-vibrator 6 according to the droplet dripping frequency; turn on the flow regulator 5 and adjust the outlet flow rate so that droplets of a set size are formed at the needle 7; the droplets fall on the rotating platform 8 and are accelerated under the action of surface tension, adhesion, centrifugal force and gravity; the droplets are thrown out of the rotating platform 8 and impact the target 17 at the required angles; during this test process, the high-speed imaging system is used to capture the motion parameters of the droplets and the evolution behavior after the droplets impact the target 17; after the test, turn off the high-speed camera 13 and the droplet acceleration system and restore each system to its initial state.
