In recent years, multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become more and more important in the field of plant protection in China. Multirotor unmanned plant protection UAVs have been widely used in vast plains, hills, mountains, and other regions, and become an integral part of China’s agricultural mechanization and modernization. The easy takeoff and landing performances of UAVs are urgently required for timely and effective spraying, especially in dispersed plots and hilly mountains. However, the unclearness of wind field distribution leads to more serious droplet drift problems. The drift and distribution of droplets, which depend on airflow distribution characteristics of UAVs and the droplet size of the nozzle, are directly related to the control effect of pesticide and crop growth in different growth periods. This paper proposes an approach to research the influence of the downwash and windward airflow on the motion distribution of droplet group for the SLK-5 six-rotor plant protection UAV. At first, based on the Navier-Stokes (N-S) equation and SST k–ε turbulence model, the three-dimensional wind field numerical model is established for a six-rotor plant protection UAV under 3 kg load condition. Droplet discrete phase is added to N-S equation, the momentum and energy equations are also corrected for continuous phase to establish a two-phase flow model, and a three-dimensional two-phase flow model is finally established for the six-rotor plant protection UAV. By comparing with the experiment, this paper verifies the feasibility and accuracy of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method in the calculation of wind field and spraying two-phase flow field. Analyses are carried out through the combination of computational fluid dynamics and radial basis neural network, and this paper, finally, discusses the influence of windward airflow and droplet size on the movement of droplet groups.

Air Blast

This paper presents an air-oriented spray cooling system (SCS) integrated with a two-phase ejector for the thermal management system. Considering its aeronautical application, the spray nozzle in the SCS is an air-blast one. Heat transfer performance (HTP) of air-water spray cooling was studied experimentally on the basis of the ground-based test. Factors including pressure difference between water-inlet-pressure (WIP) and spray cavity one (PDWIC) and the spray volumetric flow rate (SVFR) were investigated and discussed. Under a constant operating condition, the cooling capacity can be promoted by the growth factors of the PDWIC and SVFR with the values from 51.90 kPa to 235.35 kPa and 3.91 L ⋅ h − 1 to 14.53 L ⋅ h − 1 , respectively. Under the same heating power, HTP is proportional to the two dimensionless parameters Reynolds number and Weber number due to the growth of droplet-impacting velocity and droplet size as the increasing of PDWIC or SVFR. Additionally, compared with the factor of the droplet size, the HTP is more sensitive to the variation in the droplet-impacting velocity. Based on the experimental data, an empirical experimental correlation for the prediction of the dimensionless parameter Nusselt number in the non-boiling region with the relative error of only ± 10 % was obtained based on the least square method.

Initial Storage

A flashing phenomenon is often met in liquid propulsion of safety fields in industrial environments. This violent evaporation occurs when a liquid finds itself suddenly in a thermodynamic non-equilibrium and becomes superheated. To investigate theoretically the source processes and validate models for design and safety assessments, knowledge of accurate and reliable data such as distribution of droplet size, velocity and temperature in the closest field of flashing occurrence is mandatory. In this present work, an experimental study is undertaken in order to characterize the two-phase jet after a sudden accidental release and aims to quantify the effects of initial conditions such as initial storage pressure, temperature, geometrical effects of the release points etc on the spray characteristics. To fulfil this goal, a laser-based optical technique like Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) is used to obtain information for particle diameter and velocity evolution in this harsh environment. Cases for different initial pressures, temperatures and orifice diameters are studied and the droplet size and velocity evolution are presented in function of initial parameters.

The performance and capacity of Kraft recovery boilers is sensitive to black liquor velocity, droplet size and flow distribution in the furnace. Studies have shown that controlling droplet size and flow distribution improves boiler efficiency while allowing increased flight drying and devolatilization, and decreased carryover. The purpose of this study is to develop a robust two-phase numerical model to predict black liquor splashplate nozzle spray characteristics. A three-dimensional time dependent numerical study of black liquor sheet formation and sheet breakup is described. The volume of fluid (VOF) model is used to simulate flow through the splashplate nozzle up to initial sheet breakup and droplet formation. The VOF model solves the conservation equations of volume fraction and momentum utilizing the finite volume technique. Black liquor velocity, droplet size and flow distribution over a range of operating parameters are simulated using scaled physical models of splashplate nozzles. The VOF model is compared to results from a flow visualization experiment and experimental data found in the literature. The details of the simulation and experimental results are presented.

Spraying Process

In pneumatic atomizers, the shaping air holes play an important role in the spraying system. The pressure and intersection of shaping air holes are the two most important parameters in engineering. In this paper, the Euler–Lagrangian method is used to describe the two-phase spray flow. The spraying process of the pneumatic nozzle is simulated numerically, and the experiment is designed to verify this simulation. By setting different air pressures and distances between the intersection and the paint hole, target surface pressure and droplet size distribution are investigated in detail, in order to explore the relationship between shaping air holes in pneumatic nozzles and overspray. From the results of the numerical simulation, it is found that an increase in the distance between the intersection and the paint hole increases the gas velocity at the central axis of the nozzle and the central pressure of the target surface, the droplet size becomes larger, and the distribution of droplets is more concentrated on the target surface, which easily leads to overspray. With the increase in the pressure of the shaping air holes, the central pressure of the target surface decreases, and the ovality of the spraying pattern on the target surface increases.

The Relationship

An experimental study was prepared to find the relationship between Leidenfrost temperature and droplet size and velocity of impinging jets. The study is done for the case of steel surface cooling with two-phase nozzles. The sprayed surface moves under the spray at a velocity of 1 m/min. Cooling experiments were done for initial temperature of 1250°C. Thermal experiments are transient: internal temperature is measured and surface temperature and heat transfer coefficient distribution is computed by the inverse task. Droplet size and velocity of the impinging jet was modified by setting water and air pressures at the input of the nozzle. Spray parameters for each pressure combination was measured using a laser-doppler anemometer. The paper shows the results of the thermal and fluid flow experiment and the correlation between Leidenfrost temperature and flow parameters.The application of obtained results is expected for high temperature cooling especially in continuous casting.
