Three-dimensional clustering characteristics of large-stokes number sprays interacting with turbulent swirling co-flows
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Three-dimensional (3D) clustering characteristics of large-stokes number
sprays interacting with turbulent swirling co-flows are investigated
experimentally. The Astigmatic Interferometric Particle Imaging (AIPI)
technique is utilized for simultaneous measurement of the spray droplets
position in 3D space and their corresponding diameter. The Stokes number
estimated based on the Kolmogorov time scale varies from 34 to 142. The results
show that the degree of droplet clustering plateaus at about 0.4 and at large
Stokes numbers. It is obtained that the mean length scale of the clusters
normalized by the Kolmogorov length scale follows a power-law relation with the
Stokes number, and the mean void length scale normalized by the integral length
scale plateaus at about 1.5. It is shown that the ratio of the number density
of the droplets residing within the clusters to the global number density
increases with increasing the Stokes number and is about 8 for the largest
stokes number examined in this study. The joint characteristics of cluster's
normalized volume and the mean diameter of droplets residing within the
clusters show that small-volume clusters accommodate droplets with a relatively
broad range of diameter. However, large clusters carry droplets with the most
probable diameter. The developed AIPI technique in the present study and the
corresponding spray characteristics are of importance for engineering
applications that aim to understand the 3D clustering characteristics of
large-stokes number droplets sprayed into turbulent swirling co-flows.
