超声振动珩磨作用下空化泡动力学及影响参数

为了合理利用超声振动珩磨作用下的空化效应,以磨削区单个空化泡为研究对象,考虑珩磨头合成扰动速度和珩磨压力的作用建立了磨削区空化泡的动力学模型。数值模拟了空化泡初始半径,珩磨压力,液体静压力和超声声压幅值对磨削区空化效应的影响。研究表明考虑超声振动珩磨作用时,空化泡膨胀的幅值会受到抑制,其溃灭时间也会缩短,而且较容易出现稳态空化。珩磨压力和液体静压力对磨削区空化主要起抑制作用,超声波声压幅值在一定范围内能够促进磨削区空化效果的提升。本文的研究为进一步理解超声振动珩磨的空化机理提供了理论支持。

Comparison of frequency domain and time domain methods for the numerical simulation of contactless ultrasonic cavitation

The use of a top-mounted electromagnetic induction coil has been demonstrated as a contactless alternative to traditional ultrasonic treatment (UST) techniques that use an immersed mechanical sonotrode for the treatment of metals in the liquid state. This method offers similar benefits to existing UST approaches, including degassing, grain refinement, and dispersion of nanoparticles, while also preventing contact contamination due to erosion of the sonotrode. Contactless treatment potentially extends UST to high temperature or reactive melts. Generally, the method relies on acoustic resonance to reach pressure levels suitable for inertial cavitation and as a result the active cavitation volume tends to lie deep in the melt rather than in the small volume surrounding the immersed sonotrode probe. Consequently, (i) with suitable tuning of the coil supply frequency for resonance, the treatment volume can be made arbitrarily large, (ii) the problem of shielding and pressure wave attenuation suffered by the immersed sonotrode is avoided. However, relying on acoustic resonance presents problems: (i) the emergence of bubbles alters the speed of sound, resonance is momentarily lost, and cavitation becomes intermittent, (ii) as sound waves travel through and reflect on all the materials surrounding the melt, the sound characteristics of the crucible and supporting structures need to be carefully considered. The physics of cavitation coupled with this intermittent behaviour poses a challenge to sonotrode modelling orthodoxy, a problem we are trying to address in this publication. Two alternative approaches will be discussed, one of which is in the time domain and one in the frequency domain, which couple the solution of a bubble dynamics solver with that of an acoustics solver, to give an accurate prediction of the acoustic pressure generated by the induction coil. The time domain solver uses a novel algorithm to improve simulation time, by detecting an imminent bubble collapse and prescribing its subsequent behaviour, rather than directly solving a region that would normally require extremely small time steps. This way, it is shown to predict intermittent cavitation. The frequency domain solver for the first time couples the nonlinear Helmholtz model used for studying cavitation, with a background source term for the contribution of Lorentz forces. It predicts comparable RMS pressures to the time domain solver, but not the intermittent behaviour due to the underlying harmonic assumption. As further validation, the frequency domain method is also used to compare the generated acoustic pressure with that of traditional UST using a mechanical sonotrode.     

单泡超声空化仿真模型的建立及其动力学过程模拟*

Acoustic resonance for contactless ultrasonic cavitation in alloy melts

Contactless ultrasound is a novel, easily implemented, technique for the Ultrasonic Treatment (UST) of liquid metals. Instead of using a vibrating sonotrode probe inside the melt, which leads to contamination, we consider a high AC frequency electromagnetic coil placed close to the metal free surface. The coil induces a rapidly changing Lorentz force, which in turn excites sound waves. To reach the necessary pressure amplitude for cavitation with the minimum electrical energy use, it was found necessary to achieve acoustic resonance in the liquid volume, by finely tuning the coil AC supply frequency. The appearance of cavitation was then detected experimentally with an externally placed ultrasonic microphone and confirmed by the reduction in grain size of the solidified metal. To predict the appearance of various resonant modes numerically, the exact dimensions of the melt volume, the holding crucible, surrounding structures and their sound properties are required. As cavitation progresses the speed of sound in the melt changes, which in practice means resonance becomes intermittent. Given the complexity of the situation, two competing numerical models are used to compute the soundfield. A high order time-domain method focusing on a particular forcing frequency and a Helmholtz frequency domain method scanning the full frequency range of the power supply. A good agreement is achieved between the two methods and experiments which means the optimal setup for the process can be predicted with some accuracy.     

Oscillation and Migration of Bubbles within Ultrasonic Field

The oscillation and migration of bubbles within an intensive ultrasonic field are important issues concerning acoustic cavitation in liquids.We establish a selection map of bubble oscillation mode related to initial bubble radius and driving sound pressure under 20 kHz ultrasound and analyze the individual-bubble migration induced by the combined effects of pressure gradient and acoustic streaming.Our results indicate that the pressure threshold of stable and transient cavitation decreases with the increasing initial bubble radius.At the pressure antinode,the Bjerknes force dominates the bubble migration, resulting in the large bubbles gathering toward antinode center,whereas small bubbles escape from antinode.By contrast,at the pressure node,the bubble migration is primarily controlled by acoustic streaming,which effectively weakens the bubble adhesion on the container walls,thereby enhancing the cavitation effect in the whole liquid.

含气泡液体中气泡振动的研究

研究了含气泡液体中单个气泡在驱动声场一定情况下的振动过程. 让每次驱动声场作用的时间特别短, 使气泡半径发生微小变化后再将其变化反馈到气泡群对驱动声场的散射作用中去, 从而可以得到某单个气泡周围受气泡散射影响后的声场, 接着再让气泡在该声场作用下做短时振动, 如此反复. 通过这样的方法, 研究了液体中单个气泡的振动情况并对其半径变化进行了数值模拟, 结果发现, 在液体中含有大量气泡的情况下, 某单个气泡的振动过程明显区别于液体中只有一个气泡的情况. 由于大量气泡和驱动声场的相互作用, 使气泡半径的变化存在多种不同的振动情况, 在不同的气泡大小和含量的情况下, 半径变化过程分别表现为: 在平衡位置附近振荡的过程; 周期性的空化过程; 一次空化过程后保持某一大小振荡的过程; 增长后维持某一大小振荡的过程等. 所以, 对于含气泡液体中气泡振动的研究, 在驱动声场一定的情况下, 必须考虑气泡含量的因素. 关键词： 含气泡液体 超声空化 散射 数值模拟     

The role of ultrasound in hydrogen removal and microstructure refinement by ultrasonic argon degassing process

In this work, the role of ultrasound in hydrogen removal and microstructure refinement by the ultrasonic argon degassing has been fully investigated by the experimental work in water and AZ91-0.4Ca magnesium melt, respectively. Ultrasound is able to break up argon gas into numbers of small bubbles and drive them diving deeply to the bottom of water, which are responsible for the efficient degassing regime of ultrasonic argon process. The argon flowrate plays a dominant role in promoting hydrogen removal effect. Meanwhile, the increasing argon flowrate can suppress the microstructure refinement, due to the subdued ultrasonic cavitation under a large argon flowrate. Mechanical properties of AZ91-0.4Ca alloy can be much promoted by the ultrasonic argon degassing process. Ultrasound is the key to achieve not only efficient degassing regime, but also microstructure refinement as well as mechanical properties promotion.
