This study experimentally investigated the effect of showerhead hole injection angle on film cooling effectiveness over a turbine vane surface. A linear cascade was designed based on the 50 % span profile of a high pressure turbine vane, and the test vanes were manufactured using additive manufacturing. Coolant was supplied independently through separate internal channels to the showerhead, pressure side, and suction side holes. The showerhead injection angle was set to 0°, 30°, and 60°, and a vane without showerhead holes was also tested to isolate the effect of hole presence. Film cooling effectiveness was measured using the pressure-sensitive paint method under a mainstream inlet Mach number of 0.109 and average blowing ratios of 1.0 and 2.0. The results show that the showerhead hole configuration influences not only the leading edge region but also the downstream film cooling effectiveness on the vane surface. Smaller injection angles reduce film cooling effectiveness in the downstream region, even in the absence of showerhead coolant injections. Under showerhead-only injection conditions, increasing the blowing ratio enhances coolant lift-off, while increasing the injection angle promotes lateral redistribution of coolant toward the shroud side and upper span region. Under full injection conditions, higher film cooling effectiveness is observed in the upper span region, indicating that coolant distribution varies with the showerhead injection angle. Within the tested range, the 30° case generally provided the highest area-averaged FCE under most full-injection conditions, whereas lower and higher injection angles result in reduced performance due to non-uniform distribution or excessive spanwise redistribution. These results demonstrate that the showerhead hole configuration affects vane cooling performance through modification of coolant distribution along the vane surface.
实验研究了喷头孔喷射角度对涡轮叶片表面气膜冷却效果的影响。基于高压涡轮叶片50%跨度型线设计了线性叶栅,并采用增材制造技术制造了试验叶片。冷却剂通过独立的内部通道独立供应到淋浴喷头、压力侧和吸力侧孔。喷头喷射角度分别设置为0°、30°和60°,并对没有喷头孔的叶片进行测试,以隔离孔存在的影响。在主流进口马赫数为0.109,平均吹气比为1.0和2.0的条件下,采用压敏喷漆法测量气膜冷却效果。结果表明,喷头孔的结构不仅影响叶片前缘区域的冷却效果,还影响叶片表面下游的气膜冷却效果。较小的喷射角度降低了下游区域的膜冷却效果,即使在没有淋浴喷头冷却剂注入的情况下也是如此。在单喷头喷射工况下,增大吹气比可提高冷却剂的升力,增大喷射角可促进冷却剂向叶冠侧和上跨区域的侧向再分配。满喷工况下,上跨区域的气膜冷却效率较高,说明冷却剂分布随喷头喷射角度的不同而不同。在测试范围内,在大多数全注入条件下,30°情况通常提供最高的面积平均FCE,而越低越高的注入角会由于不均匀分布或过度的展向再分布而导致性能下降。结果表明,喷头孔的配置通过改变叶片表面冷却剂的分布来影响叶片的冷却性能。

Evaporation-driven control of uniform nanoparticle deposition using ternary mixture droplets 蒸发驱动控制三元混合液滴均匀沉积纳米颗粒

This study investigates evaporation-driven deposition of ternary mixture droplets laden with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates to achieve uniform films suitable for flexible and wearable device applications. Deposition patterns obtained from single-component, binary, and ternary mixtures were compared to elucidate the mechanisms governing uniform deposition patterns. While deionized water droplets produced substantial inner patterns and binary mixtures exhibited only partial suppression, the ternary mixture containing water, ethanol, and surfactant consistently yielded highly uniform deposition patterns with reduced rim accumulation and enhanced interior particle coverage. This uniformity is attributed to the coupled effects of volatility contrast and interfacial tension differences, which are consistent with inferred Marangoni-assisted particle redistribution during evaporation. Concentration-dependent experiments revealed distinct deposition regimes ranging from non-uniform film formation to uniform films across different ethanol-surfactant combinations. To quantitatively interpret these transitions, a modified contact-line pinning model was employed to evaluate the ratio of the characteristic contact-line recession-onset time to the characteristic particle-migration time during evaporation. The model provided a semi-empirical framework for rationalizing the experimentally observed pattern transitions. Furthermore, increasing droplet volume improved deposition homogeneity and suppressed cracking, as confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and three-dimensional profilometry.
本研究研究了负载石墨烯纳米片(GNPs)的三元混合物液滴在聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)衬底上的蒸发驱动沉积,以获得适合柔性和可穿戴设备应用的均匀薄膜。从单组分、二元和三元混合物中获得的沉积模式进行了比较,以阐明控制均匀沉积模式的机制。虽然去离子化的水滴产生大量的内部图案,二元混合物只表现出部分抑制,但含有水、乙醇和表面活性剂的三元混合物始终产生高度均匀的沉积图案,减少了边缘积累,增强了内部颗粒覆盖。这种均匀性归因于挥发性对比和界面张力差异的耦合作用,这与推断的蒸发过程中marangoni辅助颗粒重分布一致。浓度依赖性实验揭示了不同的沉积机制,从不均匀的膜形成到均匀的膜在不同的乙醇-表面活性剂组合。为了定量解释这些转变,采用改进的接触线钉住模型来评估蒸发过程中特征接触线衰退开始时间与特征颗粒迁移时间的比值。该模型为使实验观察到的模式转变合理化提供了半经验框架。此外,通过场发射扫描电镜和三维轮廓术证实,增大液滴体积可以改善沉积均匀性并抑制裂纹。

In this study, we investigate the cross-flow transport of millimeter-sized air bubbles in horizontal channel flows using hydrophobic strips on a hydrophilic surface. Configurations with one, two, or three hydrophobic strips (of equal total area) angled at 15˚ relative to the streamwise direction are tested over channel Reynolds numbers Re = 3000 − 8000 and Weber numbers We = 5 − 25. The contact angle hysteresis at the downstream edge of the hydrophobic strip induces an adhesion force that suppresses bubble detachment. Consequently, the configuration of three hydrophobic strips achieves the greatest cross-flow bubble transport. We also examine the flow modification induced by bubble transport using three hydrophobic strips at Re = 5000 and We = 11. Liquid near the upper wall flows towards the channel center along the upstream interface of each transported bubble, and immediately downstream of each bubble, liquid flows towards the upper wall. Additionally, wall-normal oscillations of transported bubbles enhance both the streamwise and wall-normal turbulence intensities of the liquid phase near the channel center.
在这项研究中,我们利用亲水表面上的疏水带研究了毫米大小的气泡在水平通道流动中的交叉流动。在雷诺数Re = 3000 ~ 8000和韦伯数We = 5 ~ 25的条件下,测试了一条、两条或三条疏水条(总面积相等)相对于流向成15˚角的构型。疏水带下游边缘的接触角迟滞产生了抑制气泡脱离的粘附力。因此,三个疏水条带的结构实现了最大的横流气泡输运。我们还用Re = 5000和We = 11的三个疏水条带研究了气泡输运引起的流动改性。靠近上壁的液体沿着每个被输送气泡的上游界面流向通道中心,紧接着在每个气泡的下游,液体流向上壁。此外,输送气泡的壁法向振荡增强了通道中心附近液相的流向和壁法向湍流强度。

On the turbulent wake of the actuated fluidic pinball: Dynamics, bifurcations and control authority 动流弹球的湍流尾迹:动力学、分岔和控制权威

We present the first comprehensive experimental and numerical study featuring the turbulent wake of the fluidic pinball for a large actuation range. The fluidic pinball is a cluster of three equal parallel circular cylinders centered on the vertices of an equilateral triangle, pointing upstream in uniform flow. This configuration has become a canonical benchmark for control-oriented reduced-order modeling, for nonlinear control design and for a large kaleidoscope of drag reduction mechanisms. While the literature covers well the laminar two-dimensional Reynolds number regime, we focus on unexplored terra incognita: experiments of the symmetrically actuated turbulent regime at a Reynolds number of Re=9100. In other words, the upstream cylinder is kept stationary, while the two downstream cylinders rotate with equal and opposite angular velocities. A large range of base-bleeding and boat-tailing actuation parameters is investigated with time-resolved particle image velocimetry and aerodynamic force measurement with a companion Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulation. Our results indicate that the turbulent wake of the fluidic pinball can be approximated by a three-dimensional actuation manifold (Marra et al., 2024 [1]), comprising two inverse pitchfork bifurcations. In the boat-tailing limit, a reduced control authority with a new low-frequency shedding state is observed.
本文首次对大驱动范围内流体弹球的湍流尾迹进行了全面的实验和数值研究。流体弹球是以等边三角形的顶点为中心的三个相等平行的圆柱体,以均匀的流动指向上游。该配置已成为面向控制的降阶建模、非线性控制设计和大型减阻机制的标准基准。虽然文献涵盖了层流二维雷诺数体系,但我们关注的是未开发的未知领域:雷诺数Re=9100的对称驱动湍流体系的实验。换句话说,上游的圆柱体保持静止,而下游的两个圆柱体以相等和相反的角速度旋转。采用时间分辨粒子图像测速和气动力测量方法,结合reynolds -平均Navier-Stokes模拟,研究了大范围的底流和尾流驱动参数。我们的结果表明,流体弹球的湍流尾迹可以用一个三维驱动流形来近似(Marra等人,2024[1]),包括两个逆干草叉分叉。在船尾极限下,控制权限减小,出现新的低频脱落状态。

Thermoacoustic oscillations are a safety concern for the operation of gas turbine engines. These oscillations shall be monitored and mitigated, which require acquisition of heat release rate information, usually in the form of high-resolution flame chemiluminescence images. These, however, are not readily available in industrial settings due to lack of optical access to the gas turbine combustors. In this study, provided low-resolution flame chemiluminescence images can be obtained using few sensors, we investigate the feasibility of using such low-resolution images with neural networks to produce high-resolution flame chemiluminescence images and predict thermoacoustics in real-time. We propose a Multi Path Chemiluminescence and Pressure Network (MPCP-Net) that uses low-resolution images combined with pressure measurements to construct high-resolution images and predict a marker of the thermoacoustic source term. The effectiveness of the proposed neural network is studied using image similarity metrics, and comparisons are made with existing image upscaling neural networks in the literature. The present study demonstrates the feasibility of detailed monitoring of thermoacoustic oscillations in industrial applications using low-resolution chemiluminescence data.

Energy and scalar dissipation rates in a weakly heated turbulent plane wake 弱热湍流平面尾迹中的能量和标量耗散率
IF 3.5 2区 工程技术 Q2 ENGINEERING, MECHANICAL Pub Date : 2026-07-01 Epub Date: 2026-06-19 DOI: 10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2026.111796

Understanding scalar mixing requires determining the scalar dissipation rate in its full form, without relying on simplifying assumptions especially in shear flows. Approaches that use a constant turbulent Prandtl number Prt and derive the mechanical to thermal time scale ratio under a local isotropy assumption can lead to dissipation estimates that are either over or under-predicted, and may distort its spatial distribution when applied in numerical models. To address this, an experimental investigation was carried out in a fully developed turbulent plane wake behind a slightly heated plate, where temperature acts as a passive scalar. The kinetic-energy and temperature-variance dissipation rates, ɛk and ɛθ , were obtained directly from the corresponding energy budgets without invoking simplifying hypotheses. Measurements of Reynolds shear stress and heat flux were found to be consistent with the self-preserved forms of the momentum and enthalpy equations. All terms in the energy budgets were carefully measured, except for the pressure-diffusion term, which was estimated using Lumley’s model. Particular attention was given to obtaining the third-order velocity moment vw2¯, essential for evaluating the turbulent-diffusion term in the turbulent kinetic-energy equation. The study also demonstrated the importance of the temperature self-similarity variable ξθ, which strongly influences the convection term Cθ and the overall scalar-variance budget. The distributions of the turbulent Prandtl number Prt and the mechanical-to-thermal time-scale ratio r parameters commonly assumed constant in numerical simulations were shown to vary significantly across the wake. However, r, tends toward a constant value of approximately 2 for ξ greater than 0.5.
理解标量混合需要确定其完整形式的标量耗散率,而不是依赖于简化的假设,特别是在剪切流动中。使用恒定湍流普朗特数Prt并在局部各向同性假设下推导力学与热时间尺度比的方法可能导致耗散估计过高或过低,并且在应用于数值模型时可能扭曲其空间分布。为了解决这个问题,在一个完全发展的湍流平面尾迹后面进行了一项实验研究,其中温度作为一个被动标量。动能耗散率和温度方差耗散率分别为[k]和[θ],直接从相应的能量收支中得到,而无需采用简化假设。雷诺兹剪切应力和热流的测量结果与动量和焓方程的自保存形式相一致。除了使用Lumley模型估计的压力扩散项外,能量预算中的所有项都经过仔细测量。特别注意的是获得三阶速度矩vw2¯,这对于评估湍流动能方程中的湍流扩散项至关重要。研究还证明了温度自相似变量ξθ的重要性,它对对流项Cθ和整体标量方差预算有很大的影响。湍流普朗特数Prt和通常在数值模拟中假定为常数的机热时标比r参数的分布在尾迹中变化显著。然而,当ξ大于0.5时,r趋向于一个约为2的常数值。

Time-resolved temperature-sensitive paint is employed in this work to investigate transitional boundary layer phenomena on a flat plate model under high Reynolds number and high subsonic Mach number conditions. Spatially and temporally resolved surface heat flux distribution are inferred from the surface temperature evolution. The experiments are conducted at a Mach number of 0.8, high chord Reynolds numbers of 6 and 7.5 million, and under streamwise favourable pressure gradients with an acquisition frequency of 20 kHz. The bimodal distribution of surface heat flux enables the identification of laminar and turbulent boundary layer states, allowing for the direct determination of the time-dependent transition front and the time-averaged intermittency distribution. It is demonstrated, that conventional time-averaged transition detection methods — specifically, the location of maximum temperature gradient and peak temperature fluctuation — accurately correspond to the location of 50 % intermittency. Furthermore, the evolution of an isolated turbulent spot is spatially and temporally resolved and compared to hot-film traces.
本文采用时间分辨温敏涂料研究了高雷诺数和高亚音速马赫数条件下平板模型上的过渡边界层现象。从地表温度演化中推导出了空间和时间分辨的地表热通量分布。实验在马赫数为0.8,高弦雷诺数为600万和750万,顺流有利压力梯度下进行,采集频率为20 kHz。表面热通量的双峰分布可以识别层流和湍流边界层状态,从而可以直接确定随时间变化的过渡锋和时间平均间歇分布。结果表明,传统的时间平均过渡检测方法,即最大温度梯度和峰值温度波动的位置,准确地对应于50%间歇的位置。此外,孤立湍流点的演变在空间和时间上得到了解决,并与热膜轨迹进行了比较。

Relation between multiphase flow patterns and performance of an air-lift system: A visualization study 气举系统多相流型与性能关系的可视化研究
IF 3.5 2区 工程技术 Q2 ENGINEERING, MECHANICAL Pub Date : 2026-07-01 Epub Date: 2026-06-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2026.111794

The present study aims to elucidate the relationship between multiphase flow patterns and lifting performance of an air-lift system. Experiments were conducted in a vertical riser pipe of 25.4 mm in inner diameter and 1000 mm in length at a submergence ratio of 0.43. Solid particles of 2.0 mm in diameter and 1320 kg/m3 in density were used. Both gas–liquid and gas–liquid-solid flow patterns were visualized using the high-speed photography. At different superficial gas velocities, mass flow rates of liquid and solid particles, pressure drop, and lifting efficiency were measured to establish quantitative correlations between flow regime and lifting performance. The results show that the lifting efficiency reaches its maximum of 21.6 % at an intermediate superficial gas velocity corresponding to the slug-to-churn flow transition regime. Under slug flow conditions, both the Taylor bubble length and slug frequency increase with the superficial gas velocity, whereas the overall slug unit length remains nearly invariant during the transition to churn flow. The introduction of solid particles accelerates the collapse of Taylor bubbles and promotes early flow regime transition due to enhanced interfacial instability and particle-bubble interactions. At a solid volume fraction of 0.046, particles with a diameter of 2.0 mm can be effectively lifted under both slug and churn flow conditions. Although churn flow exhibits stronger oscillations and higher energy dissipation, it maintains a relatively high particle lifting rate. These findings provide new insights into the coupled hydrodynamic mechanisms governing three-phase transport in air-lift systems and offer practical guidance for the design and optimization of air-lift systems.
本研究旨在阐明气举系统的多相流型与升力性能之间的关系。实验在内径25.4 mm、长度1000 mm、淹没比0.43的垂直立管中进行。固体颗粒直径2.0 mm,密度1320 kg/m3。利用高速摄影技术对气-液和气-液-固两种流动模式进行了可视化。在不同的表面气速下,测量了液体和固体颗粒的质量流量、压降和举升效率,以建立流动形式与举升性能之间的定量相关性。结果表明,在与段塞流-搅流过渡相对应的中等表面气速下,举升效率达到21.6%的最大值。在段塞流条件下,泰勒泡长度和段塞频率随着表面气速的增加而增加,而在向搅流过渡期间,段塞的总单位长度几乎保持不变。固体颗粒的引入加速了泰勒气泡的崩溃,由于界面不稳定性和颗粒-气泡相互作用的增强,促进了早期流态的转变。在固体体积分数为0.046时,段塞流和搅拌流条件下均可有效提升直径为2.0 mm的颗粒。虽然搅拌流表现出更强的振荡和更高的能量耗散,但它保持了相对较高的颗粒举升速率。这些发现为气举系统三相输运耦合流体动力机制的研究提供了新的见解,并为气举系统的设计和优化提供了实用指导。

Liquid nitrogen transfer line chilldown experiments in a 2-meter-long tube with focus on chilldown efficiency, flow direction effects, and microgravity implication 在2米长管道中进行液氮传输线冷却实验,重点研究冷却效率、流向影响和微重力影响

Experimental data, analysis, and physical insights are presented on the liquid nitrogen (LN2) transfer line chilldown on a 2-meter-long stainless-steel tube using both pulse flows and continuous flows in terrestrial gravity. This paper focuses on the evaluation of chilldown efficiency, and also the effects of flow direction. Additionally, this paper also provides insights on the implication of current data to microgravity chilldown process. Both the vertical upward flow and vertical downward flow configurations were investigated to gauge the effects of gravity. The chilldown efficiency, along with chilldown time and LN2 (liquid nitrogen) mass consumption were analyzed to assess the characteristics of the LN2 line chilldown process. Results show that thermal efficiency is inversely proportional to the cooling flow mass flux, i.e. Reynolds number. Slower flows allow more residence time for the coolant to extract heat from the tube wall. For pulse flow, thermal efficiency is higher for smaller duty cycles, but insensitive to periods as smaller duty cycles provide more frequent refreshes in heat transfer. Pulse flow enhances efficiency by 10–20 % when optimized in terms of period and duty cycle, compared to continuous flow.
实验数据,分析和物理见解的液氮(LN2)传输线冷却在一个2米长的不锈钢管使用脉冲流和连续流在地球重力。本文重点讨论了冷却效率的评价,以及气流方向对冷却效率的影响。此外,本文还提出了当前数据对微重力冷却过程的启示。研究了垂直向上流动和垂直向下流动两种结构,以衡量重力的影响。分析了冷却效率、冷却时间和LN2(液氮)质量消耗,以评估LN2线冷却过程的特点。结果表明,热效率与冷却流质量通量即雷诺数成反比。较慢的流量允许更多的停留时间为冷却剂提取热量从管壁。对于脉冲流,较小的占空比的热效率更高,但对周期不敏感,因为较小的占空比在传热中提供更频繁的刷新。与连续流相比,脉冲流在优化周期和占空比时提高了10 - 20%的效率。

Experimental flow characterization of R515B condensation in downward inclined micro-fin tubes R515B在向下倾斜微翅片管内冷凝的实验流动特性
IF 3.5 2区 工程技术 Q2 ENGINEERING, MECHANICAL Pub Date : 2026-07-01 Epub Date: 2026-06-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2026.111795

The phase-down of high-GWP hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) is accelerating the adoption of low-GWP A1 refrigerant blends such as R515B, renewing the need for flow regime evidence to support reliable condenser design in compact enhanced tubes and non-horizontal layouts. This study experimentally investigates R515B flow condensation in helical micro-fin tubes with outer diameters of 4, 5, and 7 mm operated at downward inclinations (β = -30° and −60°), extending earlier horizontal and upward datasets obtained in the same geometry family. Flow patterns were identified in an outlet visualization chamber using high-speed imaging (2000 fps), supported by circumferential wall temperature indicators, over mass fluxes of 50–400 kg·m-2·s-1 and outlet vapor qualities of approximately x  = 0.1–0.9. Four regimes were consistently observed: wavy-stratified, intermittent, transitional, and annular. A clear inclination sign effect emerges in the gravity-controlled region, where downward orientations stabilize stratified configurations and suppress the instability route toward churn-like structures, while annular flow remains comparatively robust and primarily governed by vapor shear and inertia. The inclination response is diameter dependent, being most pronounced for the 7 mm OD tube and progressively constrained as diameter decreases. Finally, the database is assessed against established flow-map frameworks, showing that modified force-balance representations provide the most transferable separation between gravity and shear controlled regimes across tube diameters and inclination sign, offering a practical basis for regime-aware interpretation of inclined micro-fin condensation. The six additional downward tube-inclination maps complement the horizontal and upward configurations previously available for this geometry family, substantially enlarging the sign-resolved database and extending the usable inclination envelope to cover the full −60° to +60° range.
高全球升温潜能值的氢氟碳化合物(hfc)的逐步淘汰正在加速采用低全球升温潜能值的A1制冷剂混合物,如R515B,重新需要流动状态证据来支持紧凑强化管和非水平布局的可靠冷凝器设计。本研究实验研究了R515B在外径为4,5和7mm的螺旋微鳍管中以向下倾斜(β = -30°和- 60°)运行的流动冷凝,扩展了先前在相同几何形状家族中获得的水平和向上数据集。利用高速成像(2000 fps),在周向壁面温度指示器的支持下,在质量通量为50-400 kg·m-2·s-1,出口蒸汽质量约为x = 0.1-0.9的条件下,在出口可视化室中识别流动模式。一致观察到四种情况:波状分层、间歇、过渡性和环状。在重力控制区存在明显的倾斜标志效应,向下的方向稳定了层状结构,抑制了向搅拌状结构的不稳定路线,而环空流动仍然相对强劲,主要受蒸汽剪切和惯性控制。倾角响应与管径有关,在直径为7mm的管径中最为明显,并随着管径的减小而逐渐受限。最后,根据已建立的流程图框架对数据库进行了评估,结果表明,改进的力平衡表示在跨管径和倾斜标志的重力和剪切控制区域之间提供了最可转移的分离,为倾斜微鳍凝结的状态感知解释提供了实践基础。额外的6个向下的油管倾角图补充了之前可用于该几何系列的水平和向上配置,极大地扩大了符号解析数据库,并扩展了可用的倾角包线,以覆盖整个- 60°至+60°范围。
