Abstract

The paper studies the regularities of the pulsed outflow of air and fine powder mixture, which partially fills the ejection cylindrical channel, in both one-dimensional and two-dimensional formulations. The dynamics of a gas-dispersed medium are described in the framework of the Eulerian continuum approach with different velocities and temperatures of gas and powder particles. Analytical self-similar solutions are constructed in the equilibrium approximation. For the numerical solution of the problem, a hybrid large-particle method of the second order of accuracy in space and time is used. Comparison of exact self-similar and numerical solutions confirmed the reliability of the method. The outflow of the mixture of high-pressure gas and powder particles has a pronounced wave character, which is associated with the decomposition of the initial discontinuity, the movement, and refraction of waves at the interface of media inside the channel, as well as the reflection of waves from its bottom. The characteristic time intervals of the wave process and the corresponding distributions of gas-dynamics quantities are established. Depending on the generalized self-similar variable, the pressure, density, and velocity of the mixture are monotonic functions, and the profile of the specific (per unit cross-section) mass flow has a maximum in the critical section. Dimensionless parameters and specific mass flow of a two-phase medium in the outlet section of the discharge channel are determined. In the case of a channel limited by the size of the high-pressure chamber, a two-dimensional physical picture of the formation and evolution of a gas-dispersed mixture was studied. At the initial stage of the outflow, an “anomalous” grouping of powder particles is observed with the formation of a shock-wave structure in the subsonic mode of the carrier gas flow. After the powder layer leaves the channel, the pure gas flowing out of it accelerates to supersonic speed and an intense vortex motion develops in the wake of the gas-dispersed jet. The calculated values of the parameters allow us to justify the achievable level of technical characteristics (speed, mass flow rate) of the flow of the working gas-dispersed medium of pulsed powder devices. The proposed methodology and the results obtained are the basis for making rational decisions at the early stages of design and preparation of initial data on design and operating parameters for testing prototypes of pulsed powder technical devices.
