Vortex Interaction in Triple Flickering Buoyant Diffusion Flames
Tao Yang, Yicheng Chi, Peng Zhang
Triple flickering buoyant diffusion flames as a nonlinear dynamical system of coupled oscillators were computationally investigated. The four distinct dynamical modes (in-phase, de…
Dynamical Mode Recognition of Triple Flickering Buoyant Diffusion Flames: from Physical Space to Phase Space and to Wasserstein Space
Yicheng Chi, Tao Yang, Peng Zhang
Triple flickering buoyant diffusion flames in an isosceles triangle arrangement were experimentally studied as a nonlinear dynamical system of coupled oscillators. The objective of…
Spin-affected reflexive and stretching separation of off-center droplet collision
Chengming He, Lianjie Yue, Peng Zhang
Recent studies have demonstrated the significant roles of droplet self-spin motion in affecting the head-on collision of binary droplets. In this paper, we present a computational…
On Liquid Viscosity Effects on Droplet Splash and Receding Breakup on a Smooth Solid Surface at Atmospheric Pressure
Lei Yang, Zhonghong Li, Tao Yang +2
Experimental and modelling study is presented for the effect of a wide range of liquid viscosities on the droplet impact on a smooth solid surface at atmospheric pressure. A non-mo…
Non-axisymmetric flow characteristics in Head-on Collision of Spinning Droplets
Chengming He, Peng Zhang
Effects of spinning motion on the bouncing and coalescence between a spinning droplet and a non-spinning droplet undergoing the head-on collision were numerically studied by using…
Approximate Reconstruction of Torsional Potential Energy Surface based on Voronoi Tessellation
Chengming He, Yicheng Chi, Peng Zhang
Torsional modes within a complex molecule containing various functional groups are often strongly coupled so that the harmonic approximation and one-dimensional torsional treatment…
Unified Viscous-to-inertial Scaling in Liquid Droplet Coalescence
Xi Xia, Chengming He, Peng Zhang
This letter presents a theory on the coalescence of two spherical liquid droplets that are initially stationary. The evolution of the radius of a liquid neck formed upon coalescenc…
Viscous Dissipation, Helicity and Enstrophy of Bouncing Droplets undergoing Off-center Collision
Chengming He, Xi Xia, Peng Zhang
The off-center collision of binary bouncing droplets of equal size was studied numerically by a volume-of-fluid (VOF) method with two marker functions, which has been validated by…
Flickering of buoyant diffusion flames: a vortex dynamics revisit
Xi Xia, Peng Zhang
Previous studies have found that the flickering of buoyant diffusion flames is associated with the periodic shedding of a toroidal vortex, which is formed under gravity-induced she…
Vortex-dynamical Interpretation of Anti-phase and In-phase Flickering of Dual Buoyant Diffusion Flames
Tao Yang, Xi Xia, Peng Zhang
Anti-phase and in-phase flickering modes of dual buoyant diffusion flames were numerically investigated and theoretically analyzed in this study. Inspired by the flickering mechani…
Scalings in Coalescence of Liquid Droplets
Xi Xia, Chengming He, Peng Zhang
This letter presents a scaling theory of the coalescence of two viscous spherical droplets. An initial value problem was formulated and analytically solved for the evolution of the…
Vortex-Ring-Induced Internal Mixing Upon the Coalescence of Initially Stationary Droplets
Xi Xia, Chengming He, Dehai Yu +2
This study employs an improved volume of fluid method and adaptive mesh refinement algorithm to numerically investigate the internal jet-like mixing upon the coalescence of two ini…
