Abstract
This paper presents a time-resolved three-dimensional (4D) flow fields measurement of the continuous phase of a turbulent impinging jet inducing foam formation using the Lagrangian particle tracking velocimetry utilizing the Shake-The-Box algorithm. With the systems equipped with four high-speed cameras, time-series of images of fluid tracer particles were acquired. The Vortex-In-Sharp (VIC#) method was used to reconstruct the Eulerian flow fields of the particle tracks. The impinging jet was characterized as plume-like along the vertical direction with two distinct layers: developing shear and fully developed shear. The streamwise vortex structures of the continuous phase were influenced by the bubble plume motion, and the results showed high amplitude oscillations of the acceleration and deceleration near the jet source resulting in the formation of ring-like vortices, which break down as the jet moves downstream with its momentum dissipated. The flow of the continuous phase of impinging jet was self-similar both at the developed shear layer and the fully developed diffusion layer beneath the water pool and is characterized as homogeneous shear flow with anisotropy turbulence. The classical assumption of self-similarity with Gaussian profiles for continuous phase velocity is verified experimentally. We found that the results show a huge potential of blue energy harvesting from the low frequency (∼2 Hz) dissipating kinetic energy of the turbulent plume-like jet underneath the impinging water surface using triboelectric nanogenerator.
