Abstract
Underexpanded microjets emerging from a rectangular convergent nozzle with an aspect ratio of 10 at the exit face are quantitatively visualized via Mach–Zehnder tomography (MZT) with the finite-fringe setting. Multiview interferograms around the central axis of the microjet are taken at a nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) of 4.0. The Reynolds number based upon the height in the minor-axis plane and flow properties at the nozzle exit is 1.74 × 104. Fourier fringe analysis is utilized to extract the phase shifts between the background fringe and deformed fringe patterns. The density fields of the microjets are subsequently reconstructed via the convolution back-projection (CBP) method. Near-field flow features of the microjets are demonstrated with the isopycnic surface as well as the density contour plots in the minor-axis and major-axis planes. In addition, microjets issuing from the nozzle with the same geometry as in the experiment are solved via the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations with Menter’s shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model for mutual comparison with the experimental results. The streamwise density profiles along the jet centerline as well as the liplines in the minor-axis and major-axis planes are quantitatively compared between the experimental and simulation results. Shock structures and topology showing the streamwise evolution of a shock system in a high-aspect-ratio rectangular microjet are experimentally clarified for the first time with a high spatial resolution of approximately .
期刊介绍:
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results on all aspects of flow measurement, in both closed conduits and open channels. The design of flow measurement systems involves a wide variety of multidisciplinary activities including modelling the flow sensor, the fluid flow and the sensor/fluid interactions through the use of computation techniques; the development of advanced transducer systems and their associated signal processing and the laboratory and field assessment of the overall system under ideal and disturbed conditions.
FMI is the essential forum for critical information exchange, and contributions are particularly encouraged in the following areas of interest:
Modelling: the application of mathematical and computational modelling to the interaction of fluid dynamics with flowmeters, including flowmeter behaviour, improved flowmeter design and installation problems. Application of CAD/CAE techniques to flowmeter modelling are eligible.
Design and development: the detailed design of the flowmeter head and/or signal processing aspects of novel flowmeters. Emphasis is given to papers identifying new sensor configurations, multisensor flow measurement systems, non-intrusive flow metering techniques and the application of microelectronic techniques in smart or intelligent systems.
Calibration techniques: including descriptions of new or existing calibration facilities and techniques, calibration data from different flowmeter types, and calibration intercomparison data from different laboratories.
Installation effect data: dealing with the effects of non-ideal flow conditions on flowmeters. Papers combining a theoretical understanding of flowmeter behaviour with experimental work are particularly welcome.
