低韦伯数下电场强度对液滴撞击固体表面影响的实验研究

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF ELECTRIC FIELD STRENGTH ON DROPLET IMPACT ON SOLID SURFACE AT LOW WEBER NUMBERS

  • 摘要: 液滴在电场作用下撞击固体表面这一物理现象在静电喷涂、微流控、高压输电线结冰等领域受到了广泛的应用。本文通过可视化实验研究了液滴在外加电场下撞击壁面的运动过程及形态变化,尤其是回缩、拉伸及喷射阶段,同时考虑了电场强度、低韦伯数和表面润湿性对液滴动态行为的影响。结果表明:当撞击速度一定时,由于惯性力、重力、表面张力、静电力和粘滞耗散的共同作用,液滴撞击壁面的行为会随着场强的增大展现出三种不同的模态;电场强度的变化对液滴铺展系数无明显影响,但会显著促进液滴拉伸系数的增加;进一步得到了低韦伯数、电毛细数与模态之间的阈值关系;在强电场条件下,液滴的喷射现象导致液量损失,且随着壁面润湿性的改变,液滴残留的液量和达到喷射状态的时间均展现出差异性。

     

    Abstract: The physical mechanism of droplet impact on solid surface under the action of electric field has been widely used in the fields of electrostatic spraying, microfluidic control, icing of high voltage power lines, etc. The visual experiment was used to study the motion process and morphological changes of droplet impacting the wall under applied electric field, especially in the stages of shrinkage, stretching and spraying. The effects of electric field intensity, low Weber number and surface wettability on droplet dynamic behavior are also considered. The results show that when the impact velocity is constant, the droplet impact on the wall will exhibit three different modes with the increase of field strength due to the combined action of inertia force, gravity, surface tension, electrostatic force and viscous dissipation. The change of electric field intensity has no obvious effect on the droplet spreading coefficient, but can significantly promote the increase of droplet stretching coefficient. The threshold relationship between low Weber number, electric capillarity number and modes is obtained. Under the condition of strong electric field, droplet ejection phenomenon leads to liquid loss, and for the wall surface with different wettability, the amount of liquid remaining in droplet and the time to reach the ejection state are different.
