    Ultrasound Overcomes Dendrite Puncture in Aqueous Zinc Batteries

    Fenghui Wang1,*, Hongye Zhang1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.31, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.012441

    Abstract Aqueous zinc batteries have attracted wide interest due to the high safety of the non-flammable electrolyte. However, the inhomogeneous metal plating during the charging and discharging process generates uncontrollable dendrite growth on the anode surface, which seriously threatens the performance and lifetime of the battery. Herein, we provide a physical method to fragment zinc dendrites by using ultrasound to induce cavitation effects in the electrolyte, which can effectively improve the dielectric structure defects inside the battery and reduce the risk of short circuit. The experimental results show that the roughness and height of zinc deposits More >

    Effect of Slender Bar Structures on the Boundary on Cavitation Bubble Dynamics Due to Self-Focusing Shockwaves

    Jiajun Cui1, Fabian Reuter2, Zhigang Zuo1,*, Shuhong Liu1,*, Claus-Dieter Ohl2,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.30, No.4, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.012155

    Abstract When cavitation bubbles collapse near a boundary, they can cause severe cavitation erosion to the boundary, which is a dangerous threat to the rapidly rotating turbines. Prior research has established that for single bubbles a possible mechanism is energy focusing of shockwaves during the non-spherical collapse of cavitation bubbles [1]. This however needs a particularly symmetric environment. A possible approach to reduce the shockwave focusing and thus the erosion would be through suitable modification of the boundary. In a first approach to modify this phenomenon, we introduce the symmetry breaking structure on the boundary in the shape of a slender bar to explore the effect More >

    Bubble Dynamics Within a Droplet: A New Mechanism for Mixing in Binary Immiscible Fluid Systems

    Zhesheng Zhao1, Shuai Li1, Rui Han2,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.30, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.012080

    Abstract This study investigates the interactions between droplets and bubbles within water-in-oil (O/W) and oil-in-water (W/O) systems, a fundamental problem of bubble dynamics in binary immiscible fluid systems. Considering the density ratio between the two fluids and the bubble-to-droplet size ratio, we have refined the classical spherical bubble pulsation equation, Rayleigh collapse time, and the natural frequency. In our experimental study, we found that the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability hardly develops on the surface of the droplet when the densities of the two liquids are comparable. This phenomenon is explained using the classic theory of spherical RT More >

    Can Kang1,*, Shifeng Yan1, Haixia Liu2, Jie Chen2, Kejin Ding3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.11, pp. 2431-2442, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.055688 - 28 October 2024

    Abstract The presented study aims to reveal the effect of liquid temperature on cavitation-induced erosion of an Al-Mg alloy. An experimental work was conducted using a submerged cavitating waterjet to impact the specimen surface. For a certain cavitation number and a given standoff distance, different liquid temperatures were considered. Accordingly, a comprehensive comparison was implemented by inspecting the mass loss and surface morphology of the tested specimens. The results show that the cumulative mass loss increases continuously with the liquid temperature. A cavitation zone with an irregular profile becomes evident as the cavitation treatment proceeds.

    Zhaoxu Lian1,Wenbin Wu2,*, Moubin Liu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.011054

    Abstract The underwater explosion (UNDEX) could cause the fatal damage of naval ships and submarines in the naval battle, and seriously threaten their combat capability [1]. The UNDEX process is very complicated, including the propagation and reflection of the shock wave, formation and collapse of cavitation zone, trainset dynamic structural response and so on [2]. In this paper, we develop the three-dimensional Discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) model for simulating the propagation of incident shock loading in fluid domain. The pressure cutoff model is employed to deal with the cavitation effect due to the reflection of the More >

    Abstract Self-excited oscillating jets (SOJ) are used in several practical applications. Their performances are significantly affected by structural parameters and the target distance. In this study, a geometric model of the SOJ nozzle accounting for multiple structural parameters is introduced, then the related cavitation performances and the optimal target distance are investigated using a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) approach. Results are also provided about an experiment, which was conducted to validate the simulation results. By analyzing the evolution of the vapor volume fraction at the nozzle outlet, a discussion is presented about the effect of the aforementioned… More >

    Ivan Sboev1,*, Tatyana Lyubimova2,3, Konstantin Rybkin3, Michael Kuchinskiy2,3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.6, pp. 1425-1439, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.051341 - 27 June 2024

    Abstract The intensification of physicochemical processes in the sonochemical reactor chamber is widely used in problems of synthesis, extraction and separation. One of the most important mechanisms at play in such processes is the acoustic cavitation due to the non-uniform distribution of acoustic pressure in the chamber. Cavitation has a strong impact on the surface degradation mechanisms. In this work, a numerical calculation of the acoustic pressure distribution inside the reactor chamber was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics. The numerical results have revealed the dependence of the structure of the acoustic pressure field on the boundary conditions More > Graphic Abstract

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.5, pp. 1093-1102, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.050059 - 07 June 2024

    Abstract Ultrasonic baths and sonochemical reactors are widely used in industrial applications dealing with surface cleaning and chemical synthesis. The processes of erosion, cleaning and structuring of the surface can be typically controlled by changing relevant influential parameters. In particular, in this work, we experimentally investigate the effect of NaCl concentration (0–5.5 mol/L) on the erosion of an aluminum foil under ultrasonic exposure at a frequency of 28 kHz. Special attention is paid to the determination of cavitation zones and their visualization using heat maps. It is found that at low NaCl concentration (0.3 mol/L), the More > Graphic Abstract

    Di Peng1,2, Guoqing Chen1, Jiale Yan1,*, Shiping Wang2,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2947-2964, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.047265 - 11 March 2024

    Abstract Cavitation is a prevalent phenomenon within the domain of ship and ocean engineering, predominantly occurring in the tail flow fields of high-speed rotating propellers and on the surfaces of high-speed underwater vehicles. The re-entrant jet and compression wave resulting from the collapse of cavity vapour are pivotal factors contributing to cavity instability. Concurrently, these phenomena significantly modulate the evolution of cavitation flow. In this paper, numerical investigations into cloud cavitation over a Clark-Y hydrofoil were conducted, utilizing the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method within the OpenFOAM framework.
