Abstract Co-flow water cavitating jets induce compressive residual stress through cavitation impacts produced by the collapse of the cavitation cloud. Co-flow water cavitation peening causes minimal surface alteration compared to conventional processes such as shot peening, which is a major advantage. However, enhancement of cavitation intensity for co-flow water cavitation peening nozzles is required for practical applications requiring greater process capability. Scaling of co-flow cavitation peening nozzles to achieve greater cavitation intensity requires higher flow rates, thus requiring pumps of higher capacities. In contrast, organ pipe geometry nozzles can enhance cavitation intensity without significant increase in pump capacity and have been used in deep sea drilling applications. The objective of this work is to study the effects of organ pipe inner jet nozzle geometry on co-flow water cavitation intensity and peening performance relative to a standard (unexcited) inner jet nozzle geometry through experiments on aluminum alloy Al 7075-T651. Nozzle performance is characterized via extended mass loss and strip curvature tests, high-speed visualization of the cavitation cloud, analysis of impulse pressures, and through-thickness residual stress measurements. It is found that the optimum organ pipe inner jet nozzle geometry enhances the mass loss and peak strip curvature by 61% and 66%, respectively, compared to the unexcited inner jet nozzle. Residual stress measurements show that the organ pipe inner jet nozzle produces deeper compressive residual stresses in the material than the unexcited inner jet nozzle.

Abstract It is known that the geometry of the nozzle has a great effect on the aggressive intensity of a cavitating jet. In previous reports, various nozzle geometries were proposed, and improvements made to the aggressive intensity were reported. However, no detailed description of the reasons why the aggressive intensity is improved by these various geometries was given. In this study, we conducted erosion tests on pure aluminum Japanese Industrial Standards JIS A1050P using 11 different nozzles with different geometries downstream from the throat outlet in order to understand the effects of the nozzle geometry on the aggressive intensity. In addition, in order to investigate the characteristics of the cavitating jet produced by each nozzle, measurements of the erosion areas, images of the cavitating jet using a high-speed video camera, and measurements of the impingement pressure of the cavitating jet were taken, and correlations between the parameters were obtained. It was found that the nozzle with the largest mass loss was a nozzle with water flow holes near to the throat outlet and a long guide pipe (LGP). The mass loss was 2.5 times that of the previously reported optimum geometry nozzle. Very high correlations were obtained between the mass loss, the inner diameter of the annular erosion area, the impingement pressure measured at the same standoff distance and the cavitation cloud lifetime. Based on these results and the images of the cavitating jets taken with the high-speed video camera, a new cavitating jet progression process is proposed.

Cavitating Jet

Cavitation impact from a cavitation jet, which is formed from bubbles induced by a high-speed water jet in water, can be used for surface modification in a similar manner to shot peening. A cavitating jet is normally produced by injecting a high-speed water jet into a water-filled chamber. It is possible to make a cavitating jet in air by injecting a high-speed water jet into a concentric low-speed water jet that surrounds the high-speed jet. In order to demonstrate this, a high-speed water jet with a concentric low-speed water jet was impacted onto an aluminum specimen to observe the pattern of erosion. The mass loss of the specimen was weighed to measure the capability of the jet, since a more powerful jet produces a larger mass loss. It was shown that the combination of high- and concentric low-speed water jets produced a typical erosion pattern such as that obtained using a cavitating jet in a water-filled chamber. When the injection pressure of the concentric low-speed water jet was optimized, the capability of the cavitating jet in air was much greater than that of a cavitating jet in a water-filled chamber. It was demonstrated that an optimized cavitating jet in air introduced more compressive residual stress in the surface of tool steel alloy than that from a cavitating jet in a water-filled chamber. In addition, this stress was larger than that induced by shot peening. The peened surface was also less rough compared with shot peening.

A hybrid experimental-numerical methodology is applied to evaluate the unwanted stresses induced by hole-drilling in two 5000 and 7000 series aluminium alloys. The influence of the cutting speed of ultra-high speed drills powered by turbine systems by compressed air, which are commonly used in the hole-drilling equipments for residual stress measurements, is analyzed. The comparison of the effect of different drilling conditions on the drilled material using a quantitative approach is now possible. The applied methodology can play an important role on the improvement and optimization of the hole-drilling technique for residual stress measurements in particular and the drilling process in general.

A new engine block with optical access has been designed and manufactured capable of running up to 3000 r/min with the same specification as the unmodified engine. The optical window allowed access to the full length of the liner over a width of 25 mm to investigate the lubricant flow and cavitation at contact point between the rings and cylinder-liner. In addition, it allowed good access into the combustion chamber to allow charged flow, spray and combustion visualisation and measurements using different optical methods. New custom engine management system with build in LabView allowed for the precise full control of the engine. The design of the new optical engine was a great success in producing high quality images of lubricant flow, cavitation formation and development at contact point at different engine speeds ranging from 208 to 3000 r/min and lubricant temperatures (30°C–70°C) using a high-speed camera. The results under motorised operation confirmed that there was no cavitation at contact points during the intake/exhaust strokes due to low in-cylinder presure, while during compression/expansion strokes, with high in-cylinder pressure, considerable cavities were observed, in particular, during the compression stroke. Lubricant temperatures had the effect of promoting cavities both in their intensity and covered ring area up to 50°C as expected. Beyond that, although the cavitation intensity increases further with temperature, its area reduces due to possible collapse of the cavitating bubbles at higher temperature. The change of engine speed from 208 to 800 r/min increased cavitating area considerably by 52% of the ring area and was further increased by 19% at 1000 r/min. After that, the results showed very small increase in cavitation area (1.3% at 2000 r/min) with similar intensity and distribution across the ring.

AbstractHigh-pressure homogenization is the state of the art to produce high-quality emulsions with droplet sizes in the submicron range. In simultaneous homogenization and mixing (SHM), an additional mixing stream is inserted into a modified homogenization nozzle in order to create synergies between the unit operation homogenization and mixing. In this work, the influence of the mixing stream on cavitation patterns after a cylindrical orifice is investigated. Shadow-graphic images of the cavitation patterns were taken using a high-speed camera and an optically accessible mixing chamber. Results show that adding the mixing stream can contribute to coalescence of cavitation bubbles. Choked cavitation was observed at higher cavitation numbers σ with increasing mixing stream. The influence of the mixing stream became more significant at a higher orifice to outlet ratio, where a hydraulic flip was also observed at higher σ. The decrease of cavitation intensity with increasing back-pressure was found to be identical with conventional high-pressure homogenization. In the future, the results can be taken into account in the SHM process design to improve the efficiency of droplet break-up by preventing cavitation or at least hydraulic flip.

Stress Measurements

Rolling bearings in wind turbine gearboxes occasionally fail prematurely by so-called white etching cracks. The appearance of the damage indicates brittle spontaneous tensile stress induced surface cracking followed by corrosion fatigue driven crack growth. An X-ray diffraction based residual stress analysis reveals vibrations in service as the root cause. The occurrence of high local friction coefficients in the rolling contact is described by a tribological model. Depth profiles of the equivalent shear and normal stresses are compared with residual stress patterns and a relevant fracture strength, respectively. White etching crack failures are reproduced on a rolling contact fatigue test rig under increased mixed friction. Causative vibration loading is evident from residual stress measurements. Cold working compressive residual stresses are an effective countermeasure.
