Geometry and dynamics of passive scalar structures in compressible turbulent mixing

We present a structure-based numerical analysis of passive scalar mixing in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence (DHIT) and shock-turbulence interaction canonical configurations. The analysis focuses on the temporal evolution of ensembles of passive scalar structures, initialized as spheres of different sizes relative to the Taylor microscale. An algorithm is introduced to track the evolution of each individual structure and the interactions with other structures in the ensemble, relating changes in the surface geometry and the underlying physical processes (turbulent transport, scalar dissipation, and shock compression). The tracking algorithm is applied to datasets from shock-capturing direct numerical simulations of DHIT, with Taylor microscale Reynolds number Re λ =40 and turbulence Mach number M t =0.2 ⁠, and STI cases in which the turbulence is processed by a shock wave at Mach numbers M = 1.5 and 3.0. Temporal surface convolution increases for initially larger structures, resulting in a higher probability of locally hyperbolic geometries where breakup into smaller structures occurs. Shock-induced deformation of the structures amplifies breakup processes, enhancing mixing, particularly for larger structures. Mixing enhancement by the shock is manifested as an amplification of the surface-averaged scalar gradient, which increases for initially larger structures. The alignment between the scalar gradient and the most extensional strain-rate eigendirection on the scalar isosurfaces also increases across the shock. Larger magnitudes of the scalar gradient and its alignment with the most compressive strain-rate eigendirection correlate with flatter surface regions. Shock-induced structure compression increases the area coverage of flat regions, where the amplification of scalar gradient is localized.

New Design Yields Robust Large-Area Framing Camera

Manuscript to be submitted to Review of Scientific Instruments to determine interest in possible publication. Website: https://aip.scitation.org/rsi/authors/manuscript High-speed imaging is a core diagnostic capability for the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). Data from experiments that measure the behavior of materials under extreme conditions are essential for the stockpile mission. For example, during subcritical experiments, materials that are shocked and compressed under high-explosive drive change behavior rapidly over timescales measured in millionths or even billionths of a second. Characterizing and understanding this behavior requires radiographic and/or optical imaging to track motion on these timescales. Framing cameras provide a discrete series of images over a short period of time in a manner that mimics a high-speed movie camera, but with individual shutter times that must be extremely short in order to capture freeze-frame images of rapidly evolving phenomena such as high-explosive shock-driven ejecta, dynamic compression of metals, and high-velocity fluid flow.

Framing cameras provide a discrete series of images over a short period of time in a manner that mimics a high-speed movie camera, but with individual shutter times that must be extremely short in order to capture freeze-frame images of rapidly evolving phenomena such as high-explosive shock-driven ejecta, dynamic compression of metals, and high-velocity fluid flow. The NNSS has designed and fielded a new, large-area, gated framing camera called Kraken. The camera design emphasized manufacturability and flexibility by improving imager yield and creating a camera architecture to shorten design cycles. Design strategies and field data are presented.

The inviscid incompressible limit of Kelvin–Helmholtz instability for plasmas

The Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability (KHI) is an interface instability that develops between two fluids or plasmas flowing with a common shear layer. KHI occurs in astrophysical jets, solar atmosphere, solar flows, cometary tails, planetary magnetospheres. Two applications of interest, encompassing both space and fusion applications, drive this study: KHI formation at the outer flanks of the Earth’s magnetosphere and KHI growth from non-uniform laser heating in magnetized direct-drive implosion experiments. Here, we study 2D KHI with or without a magnetic field parallel to the flow. We use both the GAMERA code, which solves the compressible Euler equations, and the STRATOSPEC code, which solves the Navier-Stokes equations under the Boussinesq approximation, coupled with the magnetic field dynamics. GAMERA is a global three-dimensional MHD code with high-order reconstruction in arbitrary nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinates, which is developed for a large range of astrophysical applications. STRATOSPEC is a three-dimensional pseudo-spectral code with an accuracy of infinite order (no numerical diffusion). Magnetized KHI is a canonical case for benchmarking hydrocode simulations with extended MHD options. An objective is to assess whether or not, and under which conditions, the incompressibility hypothesis allows to describe a dynamic compressible system. For comparing both codes, we reach the inviscid incompressible regime, by decreasing the Mach number in GAMERA, and viscosity and diffusion in STRATOSPEC. Here, we specifically investigate both single-mode and multi-mode initial perturbations, either with or without magnetic field parallel to the flow. The method relies on comparisons of the density fields, 1D profiles of physical quantities averaged along the flow direction, and scale-by-scale spectral densities. We also address the triggering, formation and damping of filamentary structures under varying Mach number or Atwood number, with or without a parallel magnetic field. Comparisons show very satisfactory results between the two codes. The vortices dynamics is well reproduced, along with the breaking or damping of small-scale structures. We end with the extraction of growth rates of magnetized KHI from the compressible regime to the incompressible limit in the linear regime assessing the effects of compressibility under increasing magnetic field. The observed differences between the two codes are explained either from diffusion or non-Boussinesq effects.

Utilization of Existing Pipelines in Hydrogen Transport: Literature Review Report

This report critically reviews the flow behavior of hydrogen-natural gas (H 2 -NG) mixtures in pipelines and examines the critical factors of hydrogen integration into existing natural gas infrastructure. It addresses the choking behavior characterized by velocity increase and pressure drop, as well as the effects of flow restrictions and pressure losses during hydrogen transport. Computational and analytical models are used to investigate these effects, and their effects on thermodynamic properties and system performance are evaluated. The study also reviews the energy efficiency and flow dynamics of hydrogen and methane-hydrogen mixtures and optimizes the hydrogen flow rate. In addition, the effects of these mixtures on the flow characteristics are discussed in detail, with special emphasis on the compressibility factor (z factor) and fluid properties based on equations of state for hydrogen-natural gas mixtures. The study also analyzes the mixture ratios and highlights the thermophysical properties, flow dynamics, and hydrogen-blended natural gas application potential. These investigations assess flow stability, material interactions, and operational feasibility of transporting hydrogen mixtures through natural gas pipelines, which contribute to developing sustainable and efficient energy systems.

Continuous caustic aqueous phase electrochemical reforming (CAPER) of ethanol for producing compressed hydrogen

Caustic Aqueous Phase Electrochemical Reforming (CAPER) of ethanol produces pure compressed H 2 at lower voltages, temperatures, and energy requirements than conventional electrolysis, while capturing carbonaceous products. The CAPER flow reactor consists of stainless steel endplates, stainless steel current collectors, and a Teflon flow field. The electrodes are prepared using commercial palladium nanoparticles on carbon support for the anode and platinum nanoparticles on carbon support for the cathode. The catalyst metal loading was 1 mgcm –2 on a 10cm 2 carbon cloth for both electrodes. Our CAPER reactor produces pure H 2 at 80bar and 80°C applying voltages at ≤0.5V. The only gas-phase product detected was H 2 and any carbonaceous products were contained in the liquid phase. The H 2 was produced with 97±4% faradaic efficiency. Further, operating at smaller electrode separation distances (4mm) and 80°C increased the current density. The highest lower heating value efficiency achieved was 28% at a flow rate of 0.05mLmin –1 and an applied voltage of 0.5V. The compressed H 2 was produced at ≤20 kWh kg –1 , which is much lower than electrolysis systems that require upwards of 50 kWh kg –1 .

A block-spectral adaptive H-/$p$-refinement strategy for shock-dominated problems

An adaptive H-/p-refinement strategy using a novel sensor is devised and tested in a block-spectral compressible Euler code equipped with adaptive-mesh refinement (AMR) and high-order flux-reconstruction numerics. At each Gauss quadrature point (or solution point) within each spectral block (or mesh element) the discrete velocity jump ΔU = ∂U/∂y 1 Δy 1 + ∂V/∂y 2 Δy 2 + ∂W/∂y 3 Δy 3 is calculated and normalized by the local speed of sound, a. Here, the grid spacing, Δx i , is calculated in each direction as the distance between auxiliary Gauss-Lobatto points, staggered relative to the solution points. The polynomial order is increased from p = 0 to p = p max in regions of weak compression, (ΔU/a) crit < ΔU/a < 0 and kept at p = p max in regions of flow expansion ΔU/a ≥ 0, while staying at the H = 0 base mesh level. Regions experiencing strong compressions, i.e. ΔU/a < (ΔU/a) crit , are H-refined up to H = H max where H max is applied at the location of maximum compression, ΔU/a = min(ΔU/a) in the domain, while keeping p = 0 to guarantee robustness and monotonicity of the solution in the H refined region. The critical value of (ΔU/a) crit = -0.06 is found to effectively separate smooth and non-smooth solution regions, supported by a 1D detonation initiation test case in ideal gas and a shock-to-detonation transition in high explosives. Using this value, the Sod shock tube, Shu-Osher problem, double Mach reflection and a 2D detonation in a high-explosive are simulated with the proposed adaptive H-/p-refinement. In the Sod shock tube case, p-refinement resolves the (weak) contact discontinuity while H-refinement enhances the grid resolution in the shock exploiting the monotonicity of the p = 0 reconstruction. For the Shu-Osher problem, p-refinement captures the small-scale oscillations trailing the shock that would be otherwise attenuated, while H-refinement triggered by the ΔU-sensor appropriately tracks the shock. In the double Mach reflection problem, H-refinement confines the numerical diffusion around the reflected shock while p-refinement recaptures many physical features trailing the shock. Finally, in the 2D high-explosive detonation case, H-refinement follows the leading shock and resolves the curvature of the detonation wave, while p-refinement adds resolution to the trailing reaction zone. Finally, the proposed methodology is tested in a detonation-wave propagation test case in high-explosives with numerical predictions comparing favorably against experiments.

Global heliospheric termination shock strength in the solar–interstellar interaction

A heliospheric termination shock (HTS) surrounds our Solar System at approximately 100 astronomical units from the Sun, where the expanding solar wind (SW) is compressed and heated before encountering the interstellar medium. HTS-accelerated particles govern the pressure balance with the interstellar medium, but little is known about the global properties of the HTS beyond in situ measurements from Voyager in only two directions of the sky. Here we fill this gap by extracting the HTS strength using particle-in-cell, test particle and magnetohydrodynamic simulations, constrained by Interstellar Boundary Explorer observations of energetic neutral atoms produced from HTS-accelerated particles. Our results reveal there is a higher compression near the poles during solar minimum compared with solar maximum due to the higher Mach number flow. North–south asymmetries arise from the disparate evolution of the polar coronal holes, while minimum compression near the flanks is probably due to SW slowing from mass loading over a greater distance to the HTS. The results imply a strong connection between the HTS strength and the SW and interstellar medium dynamics.

Multiscale Shear Properties and Flow Performance of Milled Woody Biomass

One dominant challenge facing the development of biorefineries is achieving consistent system throughput with highly variant biomass feedstock quality and handling performance. Current handling unit operations are adapted from other sectors (primarily agriculture), where some simplifying assumptions about granular mechanics and flow performance do not translate well to a highly compressible and anisotropic material with nonlinear time- and stress-dependent properties. This work explores the shear and frictional properties of loblolly pine at multiple experimental test apparatus and particle scales to elucidate a property window that defines the shear behavior over a range of material attributes (particle size, size distribution, moisture content, etc.). In general, it was observed that the bulk internal friction and apparent cohesion depend strongly on both the stress state of the sample in granular shear testers and the overall particle size and distribution span. For equipment designed to characterize the quasi-static shear stress failure of bulk materials ranging from 50 to 1,000 ml in test volume, similar test results were observed for finely milled particles (50% passing size of 1.4 mm) with a narrow size distribution (span between 10 and 90% passing size of 0.9 mm), while stress chaining and over-torque issues persisted for the bench-scale test apparatus for larger particle sizes or widely dispersed sample sizes. Measurement of the anisotropic particle–particle friction ranged from coefficients of approximately 0.20 to 0.45 and resulted in significantly higher and more variable friction measurements for larger particle sizes and in perpendicular alignment orientations. To supplement these laboratory-scale properties, this work explores the flow of loblolly pine and Douglas fir through a pilot-scale wedge-shaped hopper and a screw feeder. For the gravity-driven hopper flow, the critical arching distance and mass discharge rate ranged from approximately 10 to 30 mm and 2 to 16 tons/hour, respectively, for both materials, where the arching distance depends strongly on the overall particle size and depends less on the hopper inclination angle. Comparatively, the auger feeder was found to be much more impacted by the size of the particles, where smaller particles had a more consistent and stable flow while consuming less power.

From Interstellar Cloud to Star to Laboratory: Frontier HEDP Studies of Magnetized Colliding Plasma Flows with Strong Radiative Cooling (Final Report)

High-speed flows of gas are the norm in astrophysics where exploding stars, winds from the regions around black holes and streams of galactic material create “supersonic flows”. As the flows collide, strong shock waves are formed where gas is compressed and heated. The regions behind these shock waves are of great interest to scientists. New stars can form in these shock regions in the context of galaxies. In the context of planets like our Earth, the shocks waves come from the interaction of the solar wind with our planets’ magnetic field causing Aurora and placing astronauts and satellites in jeopardy. Thus, understanding supersonic flows of magnetized plasmas is essential for progress in many fields of astronomy and space physics (relevant to planets and the Earth). Remarkably, we can also create these kinds of flows in the laboratory using Z-pinches and laser driven experiments that include magnetic fields. The exploration of these forms of “High Energy Density Physics” (HEDP) flows is also critical in order to achieve Inertial Confinement Fusion, which is a step towards developing a sustainable source of Fusion energy.

Z-pinch fusion

The Z-pinch configuration offers the promise of a compact fusion device owing to its simple geometry, unity beta, and absence of external magnetic field coils. Increasing the axial current compresses the plasma, resulting in a rapid rise of the fusion reaction rate. Historically, the Z pinch has been plagued by fast growing instabilities that limit plasma lifetimes. Recent progress has resulted from investigating approaches that provide stability. One approach exploits sheared-flow stabilization to produce an equilibrium Z pinch, which sustains the compressed plasma state for durations much longer than other plasma timescales. Recent experimental and simulation results encourage pursuit of the stabilized Z pinch to explore its fusion performance limits.

Deformation behavior of crystalline/amorphous Al-Si nanocomposites with nanolaminate or nanofibrous microstructures

Deformation mechanisms in sputter-deposited crystalline Al/amorphous Si nanocomposites with nanolaminate or nanofibrous morphology are characterized by nanoindentation, micropillar compression testing and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The nanofibrous composite having crystalline Al nanofibers with ~40–50 nm in length and 15–20 nm in diameter embedded in amorphous Si exhibits strain hardening to a maximum flow stress of 2.9 GPa and no shear band (SB) formation in compression up to plastic strain exceeding 24%. On the other hand, nanolaminate composite that is composed of 80 nm crystalline Al layers and 20 nm amorphous Si layers exhibits catastrophic SBs starting at plastic strains in the range of 5–10%. Cross-sectional TEM of the deformed samples reveals a high density of stacking faults and twin boundaries in Al nanofibers and no microshear bands in the nanofibrous composite, suggesting plastic deformation in amorphous Si phase and crystalline Al nanofibers. Further, molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the plastic deformation in amorphous Si phase in the cosputtered films could be favored by the decrease in flow strength of amorphous Si with increasing Al solute concentration trapped in Si.

Influence of fine-scale B2 precipitation on dynamic compression and wear properties in hypo-eutectic Al0.5CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy

The near equiatomic high-entropy alloys based on Al, Co, Cr, Fe, Ni have provided a novel microstructural template for alloy design. The face-centered cubic (FCC) matrix strengthened by body-centered cubic (BCC) based ordered B2 precipitates can be used to develop a new generation of precipitation strengthened alloys. The present study focuses on an Al0.5CoCrFeNi hypo-eutectic alloy consisting of an as-solidified FCC+B2 microstructure. Guided by solution thermodynamic modeling, this alloy has been isothermally aged for solid-state precipitation of a high fraction of fine-scale intragranular B2 particles. The dynamic compressive strength, hardness, and sliding wear response of the alloy as a function of B2 phase fraction is examined. The flow stress at 0.02% true strain increased from ~ 670 MPa to ~1350 (102%) MPa, the ultimate compressive strength increased from ~1160 MPa to 1500 MPa (20%), and the wear resistance increased more than 5 times with progressively increasing phase fraction of B2 precipitates.

Modeling the role of local crystallographic correlations in microstructures of Ti-6Al-4V using a correlated structure visco-plastic self-consistent polycrystal plasticity formulation

This paper presents a multi-level crystal plasticity-based simulation framework for modeling mechanical response and microstructure evolution of Ti-6Al-4V with α-lath/lamellar microstructures. Here, the model is a correlated structure visco-plastic self-consistent (CS-VPSC) formulation linking three scales: a single crystals micro-scale, a lath/lamellar colony meso-scale, and a lath/lamellar aggregate macro-scale. A selected hardening law for the evolution of critical resolved shear stress per slip system used in CS-VPSC is phenomenological. However, it adjusts the resistances of basal and prismatic slip systems based on the geometry of slip transfer between adjacent lamellae. Consistent with experimental evidences, the resolved shear stress on the pyramidal slip planes is dependent not only on the stress in the direction of slip but also on the two orthogonal shear stress components and the three normal stress components (non-Schmid effects). Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data in conjunction with a procedure relying on α→β phase transformation is used to construct paired variants of α-laths/lamellae satisfying their local crystallographic correlations. The procedure fits volume fractions of individual laths/lamellae with the experimental EBSD data and selects a distribution of habit planes between adjacent variants with respect to the loading direction. The simulation framework is applied to interpret the deformation behavior in tension and compression along two sample directions of Ti-6Al-4V fabricated via laser powder bed fusion. Moreover, the model is used to simulate texture evolution during rolling of the material to large strains. It is demonstrated that the model is capable of predicting plastic anisotropy/asymmetry and the concomitant texture evolution. While the model reveals a significant effect of habit plane inclination with respect to the loading direction on yield stress, the comparison of the data and model predictions shows that a random distribution of habit planes fits the flow response. It is further inferred that the tension-compression asymmetry arises from the non-Schmid effects.

Combustion chemistry of alkenes and alkadienes

Alkenes formed, during the refining of crude oil, by cracking the heavier fractions are present in transportation fuels in significant amounts, up to as much as 15–20% in gasoline. Moreover, alkenes are also the major intermediate products of the oxidation of alkanes, which play a significant role in autoignition chemistry. This review has assessed the recent progress in gas-phase detailed kinetic model development for species with C=C double bond, mostly C2–C10 alkenes and 1,3-butadiene. The compiled knowledge on alkene combustion chemistry enabled a better understanding of the influence of the number and the position of the C=C double bond on the chemical kinetics and hence combustion behavior of alkenes in engines. At first, the article gives an extensive overview of fundamental combustion experiments by considering studies of C2–C10 alkenes and 1,3-butadiene in shock tubes, rapid compression machines, laminar flames, and jet-stirred and flow reactors. The value of the data from such experiments is critically discussed. Secondly, this article highlights the important reaction classes involved in alkene oxidation over low-, intermediate- and high-temperature ranges. Combustion chemistry covering C2 to C10 alkenes, with a special emphasis on C2 to C7 isomers is discussed by presenting a large body of experimental and modeling investigations. Detailed chemistry differences between alkene isomers and also between alkenes and alkanes are also addressed. Thirdly, the article presents important reaction pathways for PAH precursor formation in different alkenes. Finally, a summary of the distinguishing features of alkene combustion chemistry and an outlook towards future research in this area are presented. In conclusion, this review is focused on linear and branched chain alkenes, and the chemistry of cyclo-alkenes is not included.

Hierarchical nanotwins in single-crystal-like nickel with high strength and corrosion resistance produced via a hybrid technique

High-density growth nanotwins enable high-strength and good ductility in metallic materials. However, twinning propensity is greatly reduced in metals with high stacking fault energy. In this study, we adopted a hybrid technique coupled with template-directed heteroepitaxial growth method to fabricate single-crystal-like, nanotwinned (nt) Ni. The nt Ni primarily contains hierarchical twin structures that consist of coherent and incoherent twin boundary segments with few conventional grain boundaries. In situ compression studies show the nt Ni has a high flow strength of ~2 GPa and good deformability. Moreover, the nt Ni has superb corrosion behavior due to the unique twin structure in comparison to coarse grained and nanocrystalline counterparts. The hybrid technique opens the door for the fabrication of a wide variety of single-crystal-like nt metals with unique mechanical and chemical properties.

Pressure fields produced by single-bubble collapse near a corner

Damage produced by repeated bubble collapse to neighboring rigid objects in hydraulic systems is an important consequence of cavitation. Although bubble collapse near a single wall has received significant attention in the past, few studies exist on the dynamics of bubbles collapsing near a corner, i.e., two flat rigid surfaces intersecting at a right angle. In this work we quantify the pressure fields produced by a single bubble collapsing near two perpendicular rigid walls. Using a high-order accurate shock- and interface-capturing method to solve the three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations for gas and liquid flows, we simulate the dynamics of a single bubble collapsing at different initial stand-off distances from the two walls. In contrast to a bubble collapsing near a single wall, the collapse of bubbles within a critical stand-off distance is not symmetric about the bisecting plane due to the interaction between the bubble and the second wall. The second wall affects the pressure produced during the collapse in the following ways: (i) For bubbles initially located sufficiently close to both walls, the reentrant jet produced during collapse no longer points in the direction normal to the closest wall but at an angle toward the corner, (ii) the part of the emitted shock with the highest amplitude propagates in line with the jet, and (iii) the bubble migrates in that same direction during its collapse with a dependence on the stand-off distance, consistent with predictions made using Kelvin impulse. The location of maximum pressure along the walls is measured for the different initial stand-off distances. Using acoustic arguments, we find a semiempirical relationship to predict the initial stand-off distances for which the maximum pressure occurs in the corner. Here we find that when the bubble is sufficiently close to equidistant from each boundary, the maximum pressure is observed in the corner due to the water-hammer and implosion shocks reflecting off the boundaries and intersecting in the corner. We also show that when bubbles are initially attached to either wall the wall pressure produced can be significantly increased compared to bubbles detached from either wall.
