It is shown that, compared to the truncation typically used in Lagrangian particle tracking, a stronger truncation has a similar frequency response, but is superior in terms of overall noise reduction. For kernels of equal width, particle accelerations calculated using a kernel with stronger truncation have up to 20% lower noise. Alternatively, for a specified reduction in noise a shorter kernel can often be used compared to a Gaussian kernel at the commonly used truncation, resulting in less loss of data at trajectory endpoints. It is shown that at the optimal truncation, a Gaussian kernel is mathematically approximated by a second-order polynomial.

After bubble nucleation, a quasi-steady bubble growth occurs depending on the irradiation intensity and polymer concentrations. Our scaling analysis reveals that initial bubble growth follows Plesset–Zwick criteria, independent of the viscoelastic properties of the polymer solution. Further, we establish that the onset of bubble growth has an inverse nonlinear dependence on the irradiation intensity. The droplet oscillations are primarily driven by the presence of multiple bubbles and, to some extent, by the rotational motion of the droplet. At high polymer concentrations and irradiation intensities, we report the expansion and collapse of polymer membrane without rupture, indicating the formation of an interfacial skin of significant strength. Finally, depending on the nature of bubble growth, different types of precipitate form contrary to the different modes of atomization observed in low-viscoelastic polymer droplets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":554,"journal":{"name":"Experiments in Fluids","volume":"65 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141552715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the weak pressure fluctuations accompanying TE noise pose a challenge, as they are overshadowed by image sensor noise in high-speed cameras capturing PSP emission changes. To address this issue, a novel time-resolved phase-locking technique was introduced, utilizing the signal from a semiconductor pressure transducer at the trailing edge as a phase-lock trigger source. By repetitively conducting phase-locked measurements (1150 times), time series ensemble averaged data based on PSP emission images were obtained, enabling the capture of these subtle pressure fluctuations.

These mean flow modifications have a damping effect on convective disturbance growth. The experiments suggest the coexistence of modal instability due to the laminar separation bubble and transient growth due to streaks. To investigate the combined effect of roughness and the presence of freestream turbulence, we increase the turbulence level from the baseline in the presence of a roughness forcing configuration.

The technique is readily adaptable to a range of temporal and spatial resolutions, rendering it easily applicable to a wide spectrum of experiments. The core equipment consists of a single monochrome high-speed camera and a pair of ND: YAG lasers pulsing at different wavelengths. The use of a single camera for direct 3D imaging eliminates the need for complex volume reconstruction algorithms and easily allows for the correction of distortion defects. Motivated by the large data loads that result from high-speed imaging techniques, we develop a custom, open-source, software package, which allows for real time playback with correction of perspective defects while simultaneously overlaying arbitrary 3D data. The technique is capable of simultaneous measurement of 3D velocity fields and a secondary tracer in the flow. To showcase the flexibility and adaptability of our technique, we present a set of experiments: (1) the flow past a sphere, and (2) vortices embedded in laminar pipe flow.
