Investigation on the cavitation and atomization characteristics of multiphase fluids in underwater explosion near a free surface
Source abstract
Abstract
The characteristics of cavitation and atomization induced by underwater explosion near a free surface have been investigated by the multiphase fluid model based on two-fluid phase transition. This numerical method can provide the phase transition between liquid and its vapor phases during shock wave and rarefaction wave propagation at any time in underwater explosion. The detailed density, pressure, vapor, and liquid phases of volume fraction contours in cavitation and atomization zones can be obtained. The phase transition model was first used to quantitatively research the phenomenon of vapor liquefaction after shock wave propagation in initial water containing different trace amounts of vapor. Then the contribution of phase transition to the formation of cavitation and atomization in underwater explosion was investigated through a shock tube test and two typical underwater explosion cases. It is found that the phase transition effect between the vapor and liquid phases contributes more than 60% to the formation of the cavitation zone. Two charges under two different water surface conditions have been investigated by comparison with the case of a single charge. We can conclude that it is very necessary to introduce the phase transition model into the simulation of underwater explosion, which can provide details of the flow field in the cavitation and atomization zones that cannot be obtained by the one-fluid cavitation model.
