In particular, in the liquid rocket engine propulsion system, high-efficiency atomization can promote the full mixing and stable combustion of propellants, which is an important guarantee for achieving high specific impulse and sensitive response control.
[0003] Fluid jet interaction (such as double jet collision, droplet impact, etc.) has become a key research method in various atomization methods due to its relatively simple structure, fast response speed, and high atomization efficiency. By interacting different fluids at a certain angle or speed, a liquid film can be formed in the collision area and quickly broken into droplets, thereby significantly improving the spatial distribution uniformity and mixing efficiency of the fluid. However, current experimental research still faces the following challenges: (1) insufficient parameter control accuracy: key parameters such as jet speed, angle, and action position have a great impact on atomization results, and small deviations may cause experimental results to deviate significantly from expectations, affecting the stability and repeatability of the experiment; (2) difficulty in capturing dynamic processes: the liquid film rupture, droplet generation, and droplet evolution processes usually occur on a microsecond time scale, which puts high requirements on the time resolution and illumination conditions of the experimental system; (3) difficulty in component measurement: the mixed liquid after interaction often presents a non-uniform and complex component distribution, and how to achieve fast and accurate quantitative measurement is still a bottleneck problem in research.

[0063] S3, Nozzle installation and position adjustment for different fluids: Different fluid nozzles are fixed to different adjusting slides. The injection angle, nozzle spacing, and free jet length of different fluids are adjusted by adjusting the different adjusting slides. In the experimental system, a hierarchical control system based on geometric inverse mapping and online visual feedback is set up. The translation and rotation positions of the adjusting slides are controlled collaboratively by a low-level PID actuator, a mid-level model predictive controller, and a high-level optimization algorithm based on the experimental objectives. The vision module acquires the jet centerline, collision point, and liquid film position information in real time.

Multiple independently controlled solenoid valves are configured in the experimental system, each connected to the supply lines of different fluids. Using a programmable logic controller (such as FPGA, PLC, or host computer software) combined with an improved timing control algorithm, the opening sequence, duration, and delay parameters of the solenoid valves are set to achieve precise timing scheduling of different fluid injections. This algorithm not only enables collisions and interactions between two or more fluids within a specific time window but also dynamically corrects injection parameters based on real-time sensor feedback (such as pressure, flow rate, or optical signals), thereby ensuring the repeatability and controllability of the fluid interaction process. This system supports injection switching with millisecond-level accuracy.

Simultaneously, with real-time image processing algorithms, information such as the impact liquid film contour, the size of the atomized droplets, and the velocity distribution of the flow field are automatically extracted. LED lights 24 are used as backlight illumination to enhance the imaging clarity of the atomization boundary and droplet distribution.

[0069] S7, Mixed Liquid Collection: One or more rows of collection pipes 25 are arranged below the spray zone to collect the mixed fluid that settles or splashes down. The spacing and number of collection pipes 25 can be flexibly adjusted according to the spray angle and atomization coverage.
[0070] S8, Refractive index measurement and component inference: The refractive index of the mixed fluid in each collection tube 25 is measured using an Abbe refractometer 26, and the proportion of different fluid components in the mixed fluid is inferred from the measured refractive index.
[0071] For example, measuring the refractive index of the mixed fluid in each collecting tube 25 using an Abbe refractometer 26 includes: placing the mixed fluid in a container with a refractive index of [missing information]. The surface of prism 27 is used to read the maximum refraction angle. Calculate the refractive index of the mixed liquid based on the law of refraction. The expression is: Before the experiment, a calibration curve of refractive index versus concentration is established for the target fluid system (e.g., the concentration versus refractive index curve of the second fluid in the mixed fluid). After the experiment, the measured refractive index n2 can be mapped to the calibration curve, thereby deducing the component ratio of the first fluid and the second fluid, and realizing quantitative analysis of the composition of the mixed fluid.
