The mechanism of the cavitation flow's spatiotemporal evolution and flow-induced instability
Cavitation inside the regulating valve significantly affects the control accuracy, causing vibration, noise, and structural failure. The periodic distribution characteristics of cavitation flow fields were investigated through visualization experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis. The coupling relationship between the periodic evolution of cavitation and re-entrant jet was analyzed, and a quantitative method to evaluate cavitation flow instability was also proposed. The findings indicate a strong correlation between the re-entrant jet and the periodic evolution of the cavitation flow field as well as flow instability. Under the influence of re-entrant jet, cavitation was divided into attached cavitation and free cavitation. Furthermore, the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of both attached and free cavitation change periodically, accompanied by four distinct processes: inception, growth, shedding, and collapse. The collapse of cavitation generates re-entrant jet at the trailing end of the cavitation collapse region. The re-entrant jet ascends and interacts with the cavitation structure, accelerating the contraction of attached cavitation, the shedding and collapse of free cavitation, thereby promoting the transition of cavitation to the next cycle. The re-entrant jet interacts with the cavitation structure at t0+3T/7 and t0+5T/7, respectively, destabilizing the cavitation flow in the regulating valve and leading to the first and second cavitation shedding events. This research reveals the periodic evolution of cavitation flow field and the mechanism of flow instability in the regulating valve, providing a significant theoretical reference for the warning technology of the cavitation flow instability.
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.
