摘要: 锅炉受热面积灰和结渣问题是影响其安全和经济运行的重要因素. 为了缓解这些问题, 深入研究颗粒撞击动力学特性, 理解颗粒黏附和反弹机制显得尤为重要. 文章搭建了一个高温环境下的单颗粒撞击壁面动力学测试平台, 并运用粒子阴影图像测速(PSV)技术, 对微米级颗粒撞击壁面的动力学特性进行了深入研究. 针对高速摄影中球形颗粒直径难以精确测量的难题, 开发了一套基于MATLAB的颗粒图像处理程序, 并提出了一种亚像素插值与最大内切圆相结合的测量方法, 该方法经过实验验证, 证实了其可靠性. 基于此方法, 显著提高了颗粒撞击动力学参数的测量精度. 另外, 研究结果表明, 在本实验条件下, Otsu阈值分割算法在测量颗粒直径时效果更佳. 亚像素插值方法和插值倍数对测量结果有显著影响, 且存在窗口效应; 颗粒的法向恢复系数随着撞击速度的增加而降低, 撞击和反弹过程中颗粒速度的减小趋势也表明流场效应对颗粒动力学特性有一定影响, 这一点在测量结果中也需予以考虑. 随着颗粒的法向恢复系数增加, 颗粒的反弹角度总体上呈现出逐渐减小的趋势. 这些发现不仅加深了我们对单颗粒撞击动力学的理解, 而且为复杂多颗粒系统的研究提供了坚实的基础, 对于颗粒材料冲击过程的离散元模型的建立和分析具有重要的意义.Abstract: The presence of fouling and slagging on the boiler heat transfer surface is a significant factor affecting the safe and economical operation of the boiler. In order to address these issues, it is imperative to investigate the impact dynamics of particles and to comprehend the mechanisms of particle adhesion and rebound. In this study, a dynamic test platform for single-particle impact on walls under high-temperature conditions was constructed to study the impact dynamics of micrometer-scale particles on walls by using Particle Shadow Velocimetry (PSV) technology. Meanwhile, a MATLAB-based particle image processing program, utilizing sub-pixel interpolation in conjunction with the maximum inscribed circle method, has been proposed as a reliable measurement technique. This approach has been empirically validated, addressing the challenges associated with accurately measuring the diameter of spherical particles in high-speed photography. Based on this method, the measurement accuracy of the particle impact dynamics parameters has been significantly enhanced. Additionally, the study further revealed that, under these experimental conditions, the Otsu threshold segmentation algorithm exhibited superior performance in measuring particle diameters. Additionally, it was observed that both the sub-pixel interpolation method and the interpolation multiplier significantly influenced the measurement outcomes, with a notable window effect being detected. The normal restitution coefficient of particles demonstrated a decreasing trend with increasing impact velocity, and the decreasing trend of particle velocity during impact and rebound indicated that the flow field effect had a certain influence on the particle dynamics characteristics, which also needs to be further considered in the measurement results. As the normal restitution coefficient of the particles increased, the rebound angle generally tended to decrease gradually. These findings not only deepen our understanding of the impact dynamics of single particles but also provide a solid foundation for the study of complex multi-particle systems. They hold significant importance for the establishment and analysis of discrete element models in the impact processes of particulate materials.
