Experiments were performed to characterize hydraulic jumps that form due to liquid jet impingement on superhydrophobic surfaces with alternating micro-ribs and cavities. If the surface is unimmersed, a surface tension based transition into droplets occurs, so a known depth of water was imposed downstream from the hydraulic jump to ensure the existence of a hydraulic jump. The surfaces are characterized by the cavity fraction, which is defined as the width of a cavity divided by the combined width of a cavity and an adjoining rib. Four different surface designs were studied, with respective cavity fractions of 0 (smooth surface), 0.5, 0.8, and 0.93. Each surface was tested in its naturally hydrophilic state where water was allowed to flood the cavities, as well as with a hydrophobic coating which prevented water from entering the cavities and created a liquid-gas interface over much of the surface. The experimental data spans a Weber number range (based on the jet velocity and radius) of 3x102 to 1.05x103 and a corresponding Reynolds number range of 1.15x104 to 2.14x104. While smooth surfaces always result in circular transitions, for any rib and cavity patterned surface the flow exhibits a nearly elliptical transition from the thin film, where the major axis of the ellipse is parallel to the ribs, concomitant with greater slip in that direction. When the downstream depth is small and a superhydrophobic surface is used, the water is completely expelled from the surface, and the thin film breaks up into droplets due to surface tension interactions. When the downstream depth is large or the surface is hydrophilic a hydraulic jump exists. When the water depth downstream of the jump increases, the major and minor axis of the jump decreases due to an increase in hydrostatic force, following classical hydraulic jump behavior. The experimental results indicate that for a given cavity fraction and downstream depth, the radius of the jump increases with increasing Reynolds number. The jump radius perpendicular to the ribs is notably less than that for a smooth surface, and this radius decreases with increasing cavity fraction. When comparing flow over superhydrophobic (coated) surfaces to patterned, hydrophilic (uncoated) surfaces, a general increase is seen in the radial location of the hydraulic jump in the direction of the ribs, while no statistically significant change is seen in the direction perpendicular to the ribs.

This paper aims to study how varying crossflow burning temperatures from 1100 C to 1800 C affect the liquid droplet breakup, size distribution, and atomization of a liquid water jet injected into a vitiated crossflow. The LJIC injection mechanism was implemented using the high-pressure axially staged combustion facility at the University of Central Florida. The measurement devices used to gather particle data from the exhaust plume were the TSI Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS), which measures particles between 0.523 µm and 20 µm, and the Sensirion SPS30 (SPS30), which measures particles between 0.3 µm and 10 µm. Both measurement devices were placed 3 ft away from the choked exit. Table 3 shows that the 1800 C crossflow temperature behaved as predicted by having the largest particle distribution of 67.97% and the largest particle count of 19,301 at 0.523 µm. The 1100 C crossflow produced the second-largest normalized particle count of 66.69% and raw particle count of 20,209 at 0.523 µm. This result is contrary to the original hypothesis because it shows that the relationship between temperature and particle count is non-linear and that many other factors must be at play in the atomization process, such as the droplet distribution at the nano level. The SPS30 was used to compare the particle size distributions between a 1500 C and 1800 C crossflow. Acquiring number concentration data for particles up to 10 µm in size, the 1800 C crossflow had a distribution peak at 802.76416 N/cm3, and the 1500 C crossflow had a peak of 867.28272 N/cm3. For the 0.5 µm peak, The 1800 C had a 10 µm particle size distribution peak at 674.27.76416 N/cm3, and the 1500C crossflow had a peak of 730.501 N/cm3. The decreased number concentration from 1500 C to 1800 C case grants the water particles in the 1800 C crossflow increased surface area, which allows for increased heat exposure from the vitiated crossflow [7]. Despite some nonlinear particle count results, the highest crossflow temperature of 1800 C produces the best atomization results by reducing the total particle count and having the largest collection of particles at the lowest detectable particle size of 0.523 µm.

Dans les moteurs à combustion interne, l'injection de carburant est une phase essentielle pour la préparation du mélange et la combustion. En effet, la structure du jet liquide joue un rôle essentiel pour la qualité du mélange du combustible avec le gaz. Le présent travail porte sur les phénomènes d'atomisation de jet liquides dans les conditions opératoires des moteurs diesel. Dans ces conditions, la morphologie du jet liquide comprend une phase liquide séparée (c'est à dire un noyau liquide) et une phase liquide dispersée (c'est à dire un spray). Ce manuscrit décrit les étapes de développement d'un nouveau modèle d'atomisation, pour un jet liquide à grande vitesse, basée sur une approche eulérienne diphasique. Le phénomène d'atomisation est modélisée par des équations définissant une densité de surface pour le noyau liquide en plus de celle des gouttelettes du spray. Ce nouveau modèle a été couplé avec un système d'équations diphasique et turbulent de type Baer-Nunziato. Le processus de rupture des ligaments et son éclatement subséquent en gouttelettes sont modélisés en utilisant des connaissances rassemblées à partir des expériences disponibles et des simulations numériques précises. Dans la région dense du jet de liquide, l'atomisation primaire est modélisée comme un processus de dispersion en raison de l'étirement turbulent de l'interface, à partir du côté du liquide en plus du côté du gaz. Différents cas tests académiques ont été effectués afin de vérifier la mise en œuvre numérique du modèle dans le code IFP-C3D. Enfin, le modèle est validé avec les résultats DNS récemment publiés dans des conditions typiques de moteurs Diesel à injection directe. / In internal combustion engines, the liquid fuel injection is an essential step for the air/fuel mixture preparation and the combustion process. Indeed, the structure of the liquid jet coming out from the injector plays a key role in the proper mixing of the fuel with the gas in the combustion chamber. The present work focuses on the liquid jet atomization phenomena under Diesel engine conditions. Under these conditions, liquid jet morphology includes a separate liquid phase (i.e. a liquid core) and a dispersed liquid phase (i.e. a spray). This manuscript describes the development stages of a new atomization model, for a high speed liquid jet, based on an eulerian two-phase approach. The atomization phenomenon is modeled by defining different surface density equations, for the liquid core and the spray droplets. This new model has been coupled with a turbulent two-phase system of equations of Baer-Nunziato type. The process of ligament breakup and its subsequent breakup into droplets are handled with respect to available experiments and high fidelity numerical simulations. In the dense region of the liquid jet, the atomization is modeled as a dispersion process due to the turbulent stretching of the interface, from the side of liquid in addition to the gas side. Different academic test cases have been performed in order to verify the numerical implementation of the model in the IFP-C3D software. Finally, the model is validated with the recently published DNS results under typical conditions of direct injection Diesel engines.

Liquid jet atomisation has a wide variety of application in areas such as injectors in automobile and launch vehicle combustors, spray painting, ink jet printing etc. Understanding physical mechanisms involved in the primary regime of atomisation in combustors is extremely challenging due to the lack of experimental techniques that can reliably provide measurements of gas and liquid velocity fields in this region. Experimental studies have so far been mostly restricted to conditions at atmospheric conditions rather than technically relevant operating pressures. We present a computational fluid dynamics based modelling approach that can capture the evolution of the flow field in the dense primary atomization region of the spray as part of the present thesis work. A fully compressible 3D flow solver is coupled with an interface tracking solver based on level set method. A generalised mathematical formulation for thermodynamic models is implemented in flow solver enabling easy switching between various equations of states. Solvers are parallelised to run on large number of processors and are shown to have good scalability. A modification to the level set method which greatly reduces mass conservation inaccuracies when compared with existing state-of-art baseline schemes has been developed during this work. The Ghost uid Method is used for applying matching conditions at the Interface. The liquid and gas phases are modelled using the perfect gas and Tait equations of state respectively. Several validation studies have been carried out to ensure quantitative accuracy of the solver implemented. Results from canonical Rayleigh Taylor instability simulations shows good agreement with reported results in literature. Finally, results for unsteady evolution of a water-air jet at a liquid to gas density ratio of 10 are shown. Physical mechanisms causing the initial droplet formation are discussed in detail. Droplet feedback is identified as one of the important mechanisms in triggering liquid core instabilities. Comparisons between droplet size distributions obtained from computations are carried out. Vorticity dynamics is used to understand hole and ligament formation from liquid core. Effect of numerical droplets on the simulation results is also looked at in detail.

Les technologies laser sont largement utilisées dans le contexte de l'impression 3D de matériaux de toute taille ainsique pour la bioimpression des constituants de tissue biologiques. Dans ce contexte, la bioimpression par laser (LAB), basée sur le procédé LIFT, a émergé comme une technique permettant de s'affranchir des inconvénients des technologies d'impression à jet d'encre(par exemple le colmatage). La bioimpression par Laser est une technique d'écriture directe de matériaux sous forme solide ou liquide dotée d'une haute résolution spatiale. La technique permet ainsi le transfert précis de microgouttelettes (volume de l'ordre du pL) de biomatériaux et de cellules sur un substrat de réception. Dans nos travaux de recherche, afin de mieux comprendre la dynamique du processus de transfert et d'utiliser la technique en ingénierie tissulaire, nous avons avons développé une approche expérimentale basée sur une méthode d'imagerie résolue en temps. Nous avons tout d'abord caractérisé les différents régimes d'éjection afin de définir des conditions appropriées à l'impressiond'éléments biologiques. Nous avons également exploré la fenêtre d'éjection, afin d'étudier l'influence de l'énergie laser sur la dynamique de jet. Ensuite, nous avons étudié une nouvelle de configuration bioimpression par laser pour laquelle des études paramétriques impliquant l'effet de la viscosité et de la distance d'impression sur la morphologie des gouttes imprimées ont été réalisées. Cette configuration permet d'imprimer des encres biologiques en obtenant des contours très lisses et uniformes jusqu’à une grande distance de séparation (≤10 mm). Les paramètres d'impression de cellules ont aussi été analysées par TRI en fonction de la concentration cellulaire des encres. Nos résultats fournissent des renseignements clés sur l'optimisation et devraient permettre un meilleur contrôle du mécanisme de transfert du processus de LAB. Enfin à la lumière de ces études, nous proposons un mécanisme complet pour la bioimpression par laser. / Laser-based approaches are among the pioneering works in cell printing. These techniques are being extensively focussed for two or three-dimensional structures of any size in transferring pattern materials including deposition of 3D biological constructs. In this context, Laser-Assisted Bioprinting (LAB), based on Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) has emerged as a nozzleless method to surmount the drawbacks (e.g. clogging) of inkjet printing technologies. LAB is a laser direct-write technique that offers printing micropatterns with high spatial resolution from a wide range of solid or liquid materials, such as dielectrics, biomaterials and living cells. The technique enables controlled transfer of droplets onto a receiving substrate. A typical LAB setup comprises three key components: (i) a pulsed laser source, (ii) a ribbon coated with the material to be transferred and (iii) a receiving substrate. The ribbon integrates three layers: (i) a quartz disk support transparent to laser wavelength, (ii) a thin (1–100 nm) absorbing layer (like Ti or Au), and (iii) a bioink layer (few tens of microns) incorporating the material to print. The receiving substrate is faced to the bioink and placed at 100 μm to 1 mm distance from the ribbon. Rapid thermal expansion of metallic layer (on absorbing laser pulse) propels a small volume (~pL) of the ink towards a receiving substrate. Such a metallic interlayer eliminates direct interaction between the laser beam and the bioink. Volume of deposited material depends linearly on the laser pulse energy, and that a minimum threshold energy is required for microdroplet ejection. The thickness of the absorbing layer, viscosity and thickness of the bioink, different optical parameters such as the focus spot and the laser fluence are the controlling parameters to obtain a microscopic resolution and to limit the shock inflicted on the ejected cells. In our research works, we considered experimental approach to study the physical mechanism involved in the LAB using a time-resolved imaging method in order to gain a better insight into the dynamics of the transfer process and to use the technique for printing biomaterials. First we designed and implemented a novel configuration of LAB for upward printing. Then we characterized different ejection regimes to define suitable conditions for bioprinting. We further explored jetting window to study the influence of laser energy on jet dynamics. Ejection dynamics has been investigated by temporal evolution of the liquid jet for their potential use in cell printing. In addition parametric studies like effect of viscosity and printing distance on the morphology of the printed drops were conducted to explore jetting “window”. This configuration allows debris-free printing of fragile bioinks with extremely smooth and uniform edges at larger separation distance (ranging from 3 to 10mm). Material criteria required for realization of the cell printing are discussed and supported by experimental observations obtained by TRI investigation of cell printing from donors with different cell concentrations. These results provide key insights into optimization and better control of transfer mechanism of LAB. Finally, in the light of these studies, a comprehensive mechanism is proposed for printing micro-drops by LAB.

The present research is an experimental investigation of the atomization of a superheated pressurized liquid jet that is exposed to the ambient pressure due to a sudden depressurization. This phenomena is called flashing and occurs in several industrial environments. Liquid flashing phenomena holds an interest in many areas of science and engineering. Typical examples one can mention: a) the accidental release of flammable and toxic pressure-liquefied gases in chemical and nuclear industry; the failure of a vessel or pipe in the form of a small hole results in the formation of a two-phase jet containing a mixture of liquid droplets and vapor, b) atomisation improvement in the fuel injector technology, c) flashing mechanism occurrence in expansion devices of refrigerator cycles etc... The interest in flashing events is especially true in the safety field where any unexpected event is undesirable. In case of an accident, flammable or toxic gas clouds are anticipated in close regions of the release because of the sudden phase change . Due to the non-equilibrium nature of the flow in these near field regions, conducting accurate data measurements for droplet size and velocity is a challenging task resulting in scarce data in the very close area. This research has been carried out at the von Karman Institute (VKI) within the 5th framework of European Commission to fulfill the goal of understanding of source processes in flashing liquids in accidental releases. The program is carried out under name of FLIE (Flashing Liquids in Industrial Environments)(Contract no: EVG1-CT-2000-00025). The specific issues that are presented in this thesis study are the following:a) a comprehensive state of art of the jet break up patterns, spray characteristics and studies related to flashing phenomena; b)flashing jet breakup patterns and accurate characterization of the atomized jet such as droplet diameter size, velocity and temperature evolution through carefully designed laboratory-scale experiments; c) the influence of the initial storage conditions on the final atomized jet; d) a physical model on the droplet transformation and rapid evaporation in aerosol jets. In order to characterize the atomization of the superheated liquid jet, laser-based optical techniques like Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) are used to obtain information for particle diameter and velocity evolution at various axial and radial distances. Moreover, a high-speed video photography presents the possibility to understand the break-up pattern changes of the simulating liquid namely R-134A jet in function of driving pressure, superheat and discharge nozzle characteristics. Global temperature measurements with an intrusive technique such as thermocouples, non-intrusive measurements with Infrared Thermography are performed. Cases for different initial pressures, temperatures, orifice diameters and length-to-diameter ratios are studied. The break-up patterns, the evolution of the mean droplet size, velocity, RMS, turbulence intensity and temperature along the radial and axial directions are presented in function of initial parameters. Highly populated drop size and velocity count distributions are provided. Among the initial storage conditions, superheat effect is found to be very important in providing small droplets. A 1-D analytical rapid evaporation model is developed in order to explain the strong temperature decrease during the measurements. A sensitivity analysis of this model is provided.

La réduction des émissions polluantes est actuellement un enjeu majeur au sein du secteur aéronautique. Parmi les solutions développées par les motoristes, la combustion en régime pauvre apparaît comme une technologie efficace pour réduire l’impact de la combustion sur l’environnement.Or, ce type de technologie favorise l’apparition d’instabilités de combustion issues d’un couplage thermo-acoustique. Des études expérimentales précédemment menées à l’ONERA ont mis en évidence l’importance de l’atomisation au sein d’un injecteur multipoint sur le phénomène d’instabilités de combustion. L’objectif de cette thèse est de mettre en place la méthodologie multi-échelle pour reproduire les phénomènes de couplage entre l’atomisation du jet liquide en présence d’un écoulement gazeux transverse (configuration simplifiée d’un point d’injection d’un injecteur multipoint) et d’une perturbation acoustique imposée, représentative de l’effet d’une instabilité de combustion. Ce type d’approche pourra, à terme, être utilisé pour la simulation instationnaire LES d’un système de combustion, et permettra de déterminer les temps caractéristiques de convection du carburant liquide pouvant affecter les phénomènes d’évaporation et de combustion, et donc l’apparition des instabilités de combustions. Afin de valider cette approche,les résultats issus des simulations sont systématiquement comparés aux observations expérimentales obtenues dans le cadre du projet SIGMA. Dans un premier temps, une simulation du jet liquide en présence d’un écoulement gazeux transverse est réalisée. Cette simulation a permis de valider l’approche multi-échelle : pour cela, les grandes échelles du jet, ainsi que les mécanismes d’atomisation reproduits par les simulations, sont analysés. Ensuite, l’influence d’une perturbation acoustique sur l’atomisation du jet liquide est étudiée. Les comportements instationnaires du jet et du spray issu de l’atomisation sont comparés aux résultats expérimentaux à l’aide des moyennes temporelles et des moyennes de phase. / The reduction of polluting emissions is currently a major issue in the aeronautics industry.Among the solutions developed by the engine manufacturers, lean combustion appears as an effectivetechnology to reduce the impact of combustion on the environment. However, this type oftechnology enhances the onset of combustion instabilities, resulting from a thermo-acoustic coupling.Experimental studies previously conducted at ONERA have highlighted the importanceof atomization in a multipoint injector to the combustion instabilities. The aim of this thesis isto implement the multi-scale methodology to reproduce the coupling phenomena between theatomization of the liquid jet in the presence of a crossflow (which is a simplified configuration ofan injection point of a multipoint injector) and an imposed acoustic perturbation, representativeof the effect of combustion instabilities. This type of approach can ultimately be used for the unsteadysimulation of a combustion system, and will determine the characteristic convection timesof the liquid fuel that can affect the phenomena of evaporation and combustion, and therefore theappearance of combustion instabilities. In order to validate this approach, the results obtainedfrom the simulations are systematically compared with the experimental observations obtainedwithin the framework of the SIGMA project. First, a simulation of the liquid jet in gaseous crossflowis performed. This simulation enabled us to validate the multi-scale approach : to this end,the large scales of the jet, as well as the atomization mechanisms reproduced by the simulations,are analyzed. Then, the influence of an acoustic perturbation on the atomization of the liquidjet is studied. The unsteady behavior of the jet and the spray resulting from the atomization arecompared with the experimental results using time averages and phase averages.
