泄露性事故闪蒸喷雾流动规律与雾化机理研究

The explosive flashing spray commonly occurs during the accidental release of flammable and toxic pressure liquefied gases in chemical or nuclear industry, when the failure of a vessel or pipe in the form of a small hole will result in the formation of flashing jet containing a mixture of droplets and vapor. This violent release might produce catastrophic consequences to the equipment, human bodies and environment. Flashing spray is dominated by the non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and the internal flow inside the nozzle has significant effect on the spray characteristics. The knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms involved in those releases become an important issue in the prevention of these consequences and the minimization of their impact. This project will use different types of working fluids and different microscale nozzles to form the flashing spray as the simulation of the accidental release. Based on the comprehensive experimental study and theoretical analysis, the formation, development and transition of the two phase flow in the internal nozzle, the mechanism of broken-up of the superheated liquid in the near-nozzle field and the spray and thermal characteristics of the liquid droplets in the spray will be studied, aimed to investigate the influence of the internal flow on the behavior of flashing spray. A deeper knowledge and understanding of the dynamic interaction between the internal flow and outside spray is obtained. Further, a theoretical mode coupling the initial parameters, nozzle sizes, internal flow and spray characteristics is expected to established. The project achievements will benefit in the relevant applications of establishing the risk assessments and minimizing the impact for the release hazard. Additionally, this project will provide experimental data for the validation of the computational fluid dynamics of the flashing spray.
