School of Energy and Power Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China © Central South University Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015 Abstract: At jet pressures ranging from 80 to 120 MPa, submerged water jets are investigated by numerical simulation and experiment. Numerical simulation enables a systematic analysis of major flow parameters such as jet velocity, turbulent kinetic energy as well as void fraction of cavitation. Experiments facilitate an objective assessment of surface morphology, micro hardness and surface roughness of the impinged samples. A comparison is implemented between submerged and non-submerged water jets. The results show that submerged water jet is characterized by low velocity magnitudes relative to non-submerged water jet at the same jet pressure. Shear effect serves as a key factor underlying the inception of cavitation in submerged water jet stream. Predicted annular shape of cavity zone is substantiated by local height distributions associated with experimentally obtained footprints. As jet pressure increases, joint contribution of jet kinetic energy and cavitation is demonstrated. While for non-submerged water jet, impingement force stems exclusively from flow velocity. Key words: submerged water jet; cavitation; shear effect; impingement test; micro hardness; surface morphology [2]. In this context, cavitating water jet is of great interest 1 Introduction in the investigation of jet impingement, but relevant studies have rarely been reported, particularly as jet Many industrial applications have benefited pressure exceeds 80 MPa [3]. In contrast, the considerably from the utilization of high-pressure water impingement mechanism of non-submerged water jet is jet, a promising material processing tool [1]. The straightforward, and two parameters, namely jet kinetic versatility of high-pressure water jet is being recognized energy and nozzle outlet diameter, are usually and one of the most impressive merits of water jet lies in underlined. the avoidance of excessive heat generation as water jet An in-depth understanding of submerged water jet stream impinges the target work piece. There are two is inseparable from its fluid dynamics features. Typical primary types of water jets, namely water jet and phenomena such as jet breakup, the formation and abrasive water jet (AWJ). For the latter, impingement development of vortices at jet rim, and cavitation have capability of the jet is largely ascribed to abrasive been widely recognized [4]. Weakness of generally used particles with diverse shapes. In comparison, water jet is experimental techniques is evident in measurements of not that powerful. Nevertheless, the participation of these transient and small-scale flow phenomena at high cavitation in submerged water jet opens possibilities for jet pressure. As far as optical flow measurement remarkable impingement or even damage effects. At high technique is concerned, dispersedly distributed bubbles or even ultra-high jet pressures, dual factors of jet kinetic and bubble clusters around the water jet stream hinder energy and cavitation erosion might contribute to the the penetration of laser into the jet stream. In some cases, damage to the impinged work piece. it is even difficult to distinguish the water jet stream In general, with a given nozzle, high jet pressure from ambient fluid. Alternatively, optical profiling leads to high jet velocity and thereby high jet kinetic apparatus facilitates a close examination of surface energy. Jet kinetic energy serves as a key factor morphology features of the impinged solid surface which underlying jet impingement. As for submerged water jet, might reveal flow-rated information, but so far only collapse of cavitation bubbles in high-velocity jet stream some preliminary conclusions have been obtained [5]. In contributes significantly to resultant impingement effects addition, numerical simulation, a vigorous instrument Foundation item: Projects(51205171, 51376081) supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China; Project(1201026B) supported by the Postdoctoral Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province, China Received date: 2014−09−22; Accepted date: 2015−05−11 Corresponding author: LIU Hai-xia, Associate Professor, PhD; Tel: +86−511−88780072; E-mail: [email protected] J. Cent. South Univ. (2015) 22: 3712−3721 3713 highlighted recently, has been attempted to treat submerged water jet [6]. With respect to averaged flow parameters, numerical results are fairly reliable. Nevertheless, unsteady numerical results still endure debates owing to inevitable uncertainties. Finite element method (FEM), another important numerical strategy, has been utilized to simulate stress wave propagation in impacted solid samples, but for submerged water jet, transient energy release due to bubble collapse cannot be Fig. 1 Image (a) and cross-sectional diagram (b) of nozzle embodied with current FEM models [7]. (Unit: mm) Under high pressure conditions, flow characteristics and impingement capability of submerged water jet are cylindrical subdomain is sufficiently spacious to two aspects that call for an in-depth investigation. In line accommodate the development of the water jet in both with this acknowledged viewpoint, the present work streamwise and lateral directions. In particular, the focuses on submerged water jet subjected to jet pressures dimension in streamwise direction exceeds 33d, where d varying from 80 to 120 MPa. Computational fluid is the diameter of the nozzle outlet section, which dynamics (CFD) technique is utilized to virtually ensures a fully developed turbulent water jet. Structured visualize distributions of flow velocity, turbulent kinetic grids were used to discretize the entire computational energy, as well as void fraction of cavitation. A further domain and grid refinement was executed for near-wall step is unfolded as impingement experiment is flow regions. With a grid independence examination, the undertaken to examine the effects of submerged water jet total grid number devoted to the numerical simulation is through impinged solid samples. Ti−6Al−4V samples are 3376780. used as target samples in this respect. Micro hardness and surface morphology are measured for the impinged samples. For comparison, non-submerged water jets are studied under similar jet pressure conditions. It is anticipated to trace flow-related factors underlying the impingement capability of high-pressure submerged water jet and to render support to the design and optimization of water jet devices. 2 Numerical model and procedure 2.1 Geometrical models Fig. 2 Geometrical model of computational domain As shown in Fig. 1, the geometrical model of a nozzle parallel to practical applications is used in the 2.2 Turbulence model present numerical simulation. This nozzle differs from The renormalization group (RNG) k-ε turbulence commonly used convergent nozzles in that the outlet part model, firstly proposed by YAKHOT and ORSZAG [8] is conically divergent rather than a straight pipe. With in 1986, represents an improvement relative to the this nozzle, a tiny water jet stream is entailed. Meanwhile, standard k-ε turbulence model. This model is established the coherent segment of the water jet stream is based upon fuzzy mathematics principles, and the lengthened due to alleviated air disturbance immediately parameters incorporated in this model are deduced from downstream of the nozzle. Therefore, the advantage of related formulae rather than empiricism or experiments. this nozzle in the presence of high and ultra-high jet Along this line, the resultant equation of turbulent kinetic pressures is salient. Nevertheless, small jet stream energy dissipation rate ε differs from its counterpart in diameter elevates the difficulty degree in both the standard k-ε turbulence model.

As part of such a lovely month, I am excited to be sharing with you an invitation to an event many have joined together to plan since we launched a similar event a year ago, and found widespread enthusiasm to build it into an ongoing offering in the greater Canterbury Community. Please consider joining us for all or a portion of this event at Shaker Village at the end of this month: ”Sharing Practices of the Spirit at Canterbury Shaker Village” Everyone is welcomed to a special event at the Shaker Village on Sunday, October 28: a day for exploring spiritual practices from a variety of beliefs, traditions and ways to gather, share, and celebrate our deepest connections. The event is co-sponsored by Canterbury Shaker Village, the Canterbury United Community Church, the Concord Quaker Meeting, and the Church of the Woods / Kairos Earth. The day’s activities are free, family-friendly and run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Highlights of the day include a variety of workshop offerings, children’s activities, a joint ecumenical worship service, a potluck lunch and a send-off gathering. Offerings collected during the service will benefit the Canterbury Fund. Two sets of workshops, one at 9 and the other at 11:15, will offer opportunities to engage your sense of spirituality through nature, contemplation, song and movement. Here are your options (weather permitting!) at the two times: 9 am: Yoga; a Thomas Merton Contemplative Walk; and Songs of the Spirit.

Try Square This is used to mark lines at 90 degrees to a straight edge. It is used to mark out lines square to the face edge and face side. It may also be used to check if edges are straight. If the try square is placed on the edge of the material and held up to a light, any light shining through between the material and the try square blade indicates that the edge of the material is not straight. 2. Steel Rule A steel rule is a very accurate marking and measuring tool. The steel is thin and the markings on the rule are very fine. The measurements are in millimetres on one edge and inches on the other. The steel rule can also be used as a straight edge to check if materials or edges of materials are straight. The measurements on the steel rule go all the way to the end unlike the plastic ruler. This is because the rule may be used to measure inside pipes. It may also be used to measure diameters and circumferences of pipes and tubes accurately. The end of the rule with the measurements to the edge is called the zero end. By: Harish Gupta Page 1 3. Marking Guage The marking gauge is used on wood.It is used to mark straight lines parallel to a straight edge.The marking tool has an adjustable stock (the stock slides up and down the stem) and is set using a steel rule.
