Abstract Impinging-jet injectors are commonly used in liquid propellant rocket engines. Two cylindrical liquid jets impinge at a certain angle and form a liquid sheet in the plane normal to the jets. When the Reynolds and Weber numbers are large, the liquid sheet becomes unstable and disintegrates into liquid ligaments and droplets. In the present study, we focus on cases with moderate injection velocities so that the liquid sheet remains unbroken. Detailed numerical simulations are performed using the adaptive multiphase flow solver, Basilisk. The volume-of-fluid method is used to resolve the gas-liquid interface. Grid-refinement studies are conducted to verify the formation of the liquid sheet is accurately captured in simulation. The numerical results are compared to the recent experimental measurement of the sheet thickness distribution by partial coherent interferometry and a good agreement is achieved.

Proportionality Constant

In the work presented in this paper a real time holographic interferometry technique is developed to measure instantaneously and nonintrusively the thickness distribution of a liquid sheet formed by the impingement of two liquid jets. The experimental results are compared with earlier largely unverified analytical predictions. It is shown that the assumption that the sheet thickness is inversely proportional to the radial distance from the impingement point is in principle good. The dependence of the theoretically obtained proportionality constant on the azimuthal angle, however, while exhibiting the same trend it also shows some quantitative differences. Reasons are given in the context of the work. In addition, a weak effect of the jet velocity on the proportionality constant is found to exist. In the theories no such effect was modeled. Finally, comparisons between theoretical and experimental isothickness contours show differences. Overall, there appears to be a justification for improved theoretical studies including effects such as that of gravitation.

Deep Drawing Process

The formability of the drawn part in the deep drawing process depends not only on the material properties, but also on the equipment used, metal flow control and tool parameters. The most common defects can be the thickening, stretching and splitting. However, the optimization of tools including the die and punch parameters leads to a reduction of the defects and improves the quality of the products. In this paper, the formability of the camera cover by aluminum alloy A1050 in the deep drawing process was examined relating to the tool geometry parameters based on numerical and experimental analyses. The results showed that the thickness was the smallest and the stress was the highest at one of the bottom corners where the biaxial stretching was the predominant mode of deformation. The problems of the thickening at the flange area, the stretching at the side wall and the splitting at the bottom corners could be prevented when the tool parameters were optimized that related to the thickness and stress. It was clear that the optimal thickness distribution of the camera cover was obtained by the design of tools with the best values—with the die edge radius 10 times, the pocket radius on the bottom of the die 5 times, and the punch nose radius 2.5 times the sheet thickness. Additionally, the quality of the camera cover was improved with a maximum thinning of 25% experimentally, and it was within the suggested maximum allowable thickness reduction of 45% for various industrial applications after optimizing the tool geometry parameters in the deep drawing process.

The approach to total weight reduction has been a key issue for car manufacturers as they cope with more and more stringent requirements for fuel economy. In sheet metal forming, local increases in product-sheet thickness effectively contribute to reducing the total product weight. Products could be designed more efficiently if a designer could predict and control the thickness distribution of formed products. This paper describes a numerical simulation and evaluation of the material flow in local thickness increments of products formed by an ironing process. In order to clarify the mechanism of the local increase in sheet thickness, a 3-D numerical simulation of deep drawing and ironing was performed using finite-element simulation. The effects of various types of finite elements that primarily affect thickness changes in original materials and thickness prediction were investigated. It was found that the sheet-thickness distribution could be predicted if the original material was relatively thick and if an appropriate type of finite element is selected.

Abstract In this work, the thicknesses of a series of impinging sheets formed by two ethanol jets under different jet velocities are measured and compared with the theoretical model via a non-intrusive technique, the partial coherent interferometry. An interferometer with the calibrated partial coherence property is used to record the interference pattern by passing one optical path through the impinging sheet. The thickness is measured by analyzing the change of degree of coherence before and after the sheet insertion. The Reynolds numbers and Weber numbers of this experiment range from 269 to 370 and 35 to 67, respectively. The experimental results show that the jet velocity controls the size of the sheet but not affects the thickness distribution. The measured thicknesses are different from the theoretical predictions and indicate that the velocity inside the sheet may not be a constant along the radial direction.

This article presents the linear stability analysis of an electrified liquid sheet injected into a compressible ambient gas in the presence of a transverse electric field. The disturbance wave growth rates of sinuous and varicose modes were determined by solving the dispersion relation of the electrified liquid sheet. It was determined that by increasing the Mach number of the ambient gas from subsonic to transonic, the maximum growth rate and the dominant wave number of the disturbances were increased, and the increase was greater in the presence of the electric field. The electrified liquid sheet was more unstable than the non-electrified sheet. The increase of both the gas-to-liquid density ratio and the electrical Euler number accelerated the breakup of the liquid sheet for both modes; while the ratio of distance between the horizontal electrode and the liquid-sheet-to-sheet thickness had the opposite effect. High Reynolds and Weber numbers accelerated the breakup of the electrified liquid sheet.
