Abstract:

To explore the law of synergistic reinforcement of low-frequency waves for foam stability,the study constructs a porous media simulator of glass particles,carries out a characterization experiment of the stability of foam in porous media simulators with different pore diameters (0.541-0.657 mm)under the excitation of low-frequency waves,and establishes a micro-seepage dynamic model of boundary foam fluid under wave conditions in combination with the flow theory of Plateau boundary fluid. The research results show that the half-life of foam can be increased by vibration. The increased multiple of foam half-life vary in porous media simulators with diverse pore diameters,and the optimal vibration parameters are also different. When the pore diameter of the porous media simulator is 0.541 mm,the corresponding optimal vibration frequency and acceleration is 30 Hz and 0.7 g (g is gravitational acceleration)respectively,and the increased multiple of foam half-life is 1.55. When the pore diameter of porous media simulator is 0.657 mm,the corresponding optimal vibration frequency and acceleration is 35 Hz and 0.5 g (g is gravitational acceleration)respectively,and the increased multiple of foam half-life is 1.38. The micro-percolation model of fluid under wave conditions reveals that foam stability is enhanced by low-frequency waves through changing the velocity of fluid microelements and shortening the displacement distance of fluid microelements.

摘要:

为探究低频波对泡沫稳定性的协同强化规律,构建多孔介质玻璃颗粒模拟器,开展了低频波激励下泡沫在不同孔隙直径(0.541~0.657 mm)多孔介质模拟器中稳定性表征实验,结合Plateau边界流体渗流理论,建立波动条件下泡沫边界流体微渗流动力学模型。研究结果表明,振动可以提高泡沫半衰期,不同孔隙直径多孔介质模拟器中泡沫半衰期提高倍数不同且最佳振动参数不同,多孔介质模拟器孔隙直径为0.541 mm时,对应的最佳振动频率和加速度分别为30 Hz、0.7 gg为重力加速度),泡沫半衰期提高倍数为1.55;多孔介质模拟器孔隙直径为0.657 mm时,对应的最佳振动频率和加速度分别为35 Hz、0.5 g,泡沫半衰期提高倍数为1.38。波动流体微渗流模型揭示,低频波通过改变流体微元的移动速度、缩短流体微元的移动距离来提高泡沫稳定性。
