Experimental investigation of bubbly flow and turbulence in hydraulic jumps

Many environmental problems are linked to multiphase flows encompassing ecological issues, chemical processes and mixing or diffusion, with applications in different engineering fields. The transition from a supercritical flow to a subcritical motion constitutes a hydraulic jump. This flow regime is characterised by strong interactions between turbulence, free surface and air–water mixing. Although a hydraulic jump contributes to some dissipation of the flow kinetic energy, it is also associated with increases of turbulent shear stresses and the development of turbulent eddies with implications in terms of scour, erosion and sediment transport. Despite a number of experimental, theoretical and numerical studies, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the physical mechanisms involved in the diffusion and air–water mixing processes within hydraulic jumps, as well as on the interaction between the free-surface and turbulence. New experimental investigations were undertaken in hydraulic jumps with Froude numbers up to Fr = 8.3. Two-phase flow measurements were performed with phase-detection conductivity probes. Basic results related to the distributions of void fraction, bubble frequency and mean bubble chord length are presented. New developments are discussed for the interfacial bubble velocities and their fluctuations, characterizing the turbulence level and integral time scales of turbulence representing a “lifetime” of the longitudinal bubbly flow structures. The analyses show good agreement with previous studies in terms of the vertical profiles of void fraction, bubble frequency and mean bubble chord length. The dimensionless distributions of interfacial velocities compared favourably with wall-jet equations. Measurements showed high turbulence levels. Turbulence time scales were found to be dependent on the distance downstream of the toe as well as on the distance to the bottom showing the importance of the lower (channel bed) and upper (free surface) boundary conditions on the turbulence structure.

全球气温上升因素研究--能源利用中热能散失对气温的影响

为了分析能源不完全利用产生的热能散失对近三十年来全球气温升高的影响,首先对近三十年来的全球气温、主要温室气体浓度和主要能源利用中的热能散失量等数据进行了收集和整理;结合各温室气体对温室效应的相对贡献值引入了温室效应值这一参数,之后通过二元线性回归法来分析温室效应和能耗散失双因素对气温升高的权重影响.借助于黑体辐射定律等相关物理模型,估算出分别由此二因素引起的全球气温升高值,并对两者贡献值进行了量化比较,结果表明,虽然温室效应是气温升高的主要原因,但热能散失也对这一气候变化具有一定程度的影响.

Assessment of the Pulmonary Toxicity of Inhaled Gases and Particles With Physicochemical Methods

Abstract

Physicochemical techniques used for evaluating the pulmonary surfactant (PS) quality are discussed as methods useful in assessing toxicity of inhaled gases and particles. Two standard devices, Langmuir-Wilhelmy film balance and pulsating bubble apparatus, are presented in detail, and the measured results of interaction between sulfuric acid and 2 models of PS material are analyzed. The evident decrease in surface activity of the pulmonary surfactant after its contact with the acid at concentrations approaching 0.001 M may be considered as an indicator of the adverse effect, which can result in several health problems. The presented approach can be used as a method of assessing pulmonary toxicity of any substances present in the breathing air.

基于颗粒级配均匀设计的尾矿坝中毛细水上升规律研究

堆积型尾矿坝坝体颗粒级配情况因尾砂排放和堆积的形式而千变万化,因此仅仅采用海森经验公式估算其毛细水上升情况会造成很大的偏差。为此,以湖南某尾矿坝坝体尾砂为原料,采用均匀设计方案设计并配比了8种尾矿砂,随后对该8种尾矿砂中的毛细水上升情况进行了长达10个月的监测,系统地研究了颗粒级配的差异对毛细水上升过程的影响。研究表明,毛细水初期阶段上升速度与尾矿砂中粗粒颗粒含量成正比,其最终上升高度则由细粒含量所决定。进一步地,还得出了由颗粒级配估算毛细水上升高度的方法,为毛细水上升高度计算理论提供了一种新思路和新方法。
