铝粉粒径分布对气-粒两相爆轰胞格结构的影响机理研究

MECHANISTIC STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF ALUMINUM PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION ON THE CELLULAR STRUCTURE OF GAS-PARTICLE TWO-PHASE DETONATION

  • 摘要: 铝粉作为高能金属燃料, 在爆轰推进及粉尘爆炸安全领域具有重要研究价值. 为揭示铝粉粒径及其分布对爆轰波胞格结构的影响机理, 本文基于欧拉-拉格朗日框架, 结合表面动力学-氧化-扩散混合燃烧模型, 对铝粉-气体两相爆轰进行了系统的二维数值模拟. 首先, 在铝粉-空气体系中, 建立了单分散与对数正态多分散条件下胞格尺寸与颗粒参数的定量关系, 发现胞格尺寸的对数与粒径对数及分布方差均呈线性相关, 并导出了单/多分散体系胞格尺寸的统一转换公式, 从对数正态分布的统计矩出发给出了关联系数的理论依据, 其值介于2.0 ~ 2.5之间, 与混合燃烧理论预期一致. 其次, 将研究拓展至氢气/水蒸气、甲烷/氧气及乙烯/氧气等不同活性气体环境, 表明在所考察的多种活性气体体系与参数范围内该定量规律均成立, 同时发现气体活性通过改变释热强度显著调制胞格尺寸与爆轰不稳定性. 最后, 借助一维爆轰波结构与理论解耦方法, 揭示了单分散体系中颗粒同步蒸发导致的集中强传热是波后压力“双峰”结构与胞格局部扰动增强的微观根源, 而多分散体系的相变异步化则削弱了集中传热效应, 使波后流场趋于平滑. 本文研究建立了粒径分布-微观相变-宏观胞格的跨尺度关联, 为高超声速推进燃料设计与工业粉尘爆炸风险评估提供了理论依据与数值支撑.

     

    Abstract: Aluminum powder, as a high-energy-density metallic fuel, holds significant research value in detonation propulsion and dust explosion safety. To elucidate the mechanism by which aluminum particle size and its distribution affect the cellular structure of detonation waves, this study conducts systematic two-dimensional numerical simulations of aluminum–gas two-phase detonation based on the Eulerian–Lagrangian framework and a hybrid surface-kinetic-oxidation-diffusion combustion model. First, in the aluminum–air system, quantitative relationships between the cell size and particle parameters are established for both monodisperse and log-normally polydisperse suspensions. It is found that the logarithm of the cell size exhibits a linear correlation with both the logarithm of particle diameter and the variance of the size distribution. A unified conversion formula between monodisperse and polydisperse cell sizes is established and supported by a statistical-moment analysis of the log-normal distribution, with a correlation coefficient ranging from 2.0 to 2.5, which is consistent with theoretical expectations of the hybrid combustion model. Second, the investigation is extended to various reactive gas environments, including hydrogen/water vapor, methane/oxygen, and ethylene/oxygen mixtures. The quantitative law is shown to hold across all the reactive gas systems and parameter ranges examined, while the chemical activity of the gas is shown to significantly modulate the cell size and detonation instability by altering the heat release intensity. Finally, through one-dimensional detonation wave analysis and theoretical decoupling, it is revealed that the synchronized evaporation of particles in monodisperse systems leads to a concentrated, intense heat transfer phase, which is the microscopic origin of the "double-peak" pressure structure behind the wave and enhanced local cellular perturbation. In contrast, the asynchronous phase change in polydisperse systems weakens the concentrated heat transfer effect, resulting in a smoother post-wave flow field. This study establishes a cross-scale correlation linking particle size distribution, microscopic phase change, and macroscopic cellular structure, providing theoretical foundations and numerical support for hypersonic propulsion fuel design and industrial dust explosion risk assessment.
