Study on Multiphase Buoyancy-Drag Model of Mixing Induced by Rayleigh-Taylor Instability in Dusty Gases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evolutions of the material interpenetration boundary induced by Rayleigh-Taylor instability were calculated under various acceleration histories using a buoyancy-drag model. It reveals that the development of mixing under constant acceleration is very different from that under variable acceleration. The calculation results were compared with detailed experimental data to prove the validation of the model. On the bases of these, a multiphase buoyancy-drag model was developed to study mixing induced by Rayleigh-Taylor instability in dusty gases under constant acceleration. It is found that the mixing width decreases with the increase of the dusty concentration and the size of particles, which reveals that the particles in dusty gases restrain the development of mixing.

Rayleigh–Taylor mixing rates for compressible flow
We study Rayleigh–Taylor instability in both the moderately compressible and weakly compressible regimes. For the two-dimensional single mode case, we find that the dimensionless terminal velocities sand associated Froude numbersd are nearly constant over most of this region of parameter space, as the thermodynamic parameters describing the equation of state are varied. The phenomenological dra...

Direct two-dimensional numerical simulation and experiments, in which small rocket motors accelerate a tank containing two fluids, have been used to investigate turbulent mixing by Rayleigh-Taylor instability at a wide range of density ratios. The experimental data obtained so far has been used to calibrate an empirical model of the mixing process which is needed to make predictions for complex...

Richtmyer–Meshkov instability RMI in gas-particle mixtures is investigated both numerically and analytically. The linear amplitude growth rate for a RMI in a two-phase mixture is derived by using a dusty gas formulation for small Stokes number St 1.0 , and it is shown that the problem can be characterized by mass loading and St. The model predictions are compared with numerical results under tw...

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability problem is one of the classic hydrodynamic instability cases in natural scenarios and industrial applications. For the numerical simulation of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability problem, this paper presents a multiphase method based on the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method. Herein, the incompressibility of the fluids is satisfied by solving a Poisson Pressu...
متن کاملNew insights in to the single-mode Rayleigh Taylor instability
The dependence of the single-mode Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability on density difference effects is investigated using four different numerical codes. As the density difference driving the flow approaches infinity, bubbles reach a constant terminal velocity, in agreement with the classical result of Layzer [1]. At the same time, spikes are narrow and in free-fall, a result which can be understo...
