Development of Piv Technique under Magnetic Fields and Measurement of Turbulent Pipe Flow of Flibe Simulant Fluid

چکیده
An investigation of MHD effects on a Flibe (Li2BeF4) simulant fluid has been conducted under the US-Japan JUPITER-II collaboration program using “FLIHY” pipe flow facility at UCLA. The present paper reports a development of unique experimental techniques using aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide as a Flibe simulant. In order to apply a particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique for magnetic field condition, special optical devices were developed. The PIV measurements of MHD turbulent pipe flow at Re = 5300 were performed, and modification of the mean flow velocity as well as turbulence suppression was observed. A flat velocity profile in the pipe center and a steep velocity gradient in the near-wall region at Ha = 20 exhibits typical characteristics of Hartmann flow.

Turbulent scalar mixing in the near field of a tee mixer (transverse jet in a pipe) is studied using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF). Two jet-to-pipe velocity ratios, r = 3.06 and r = 5.04, are investigated for a turbulent pipe flow at a Reynolds number of 20,850. The laser measurement techniques are described, typical flow structures in the near fi...

This chapter describes the development of a new time resolved 3D PIV technique for near wall flow field measurements. This measurement technique, called wall-PIV, is based on Beer-Lambert’s law. It substitutes the classical PIV laser sheet by a diffuse, monochromatic full-field illumination that is limited to the near wall region by an absorbing molecular dye in the fluid. Aimed range of applic...
