Scientific journal, Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging using scattered light potentially evaluate the structural properties of the medium, like the average particle size, based on a relation between its structure and light scattering. A qualitative understanding of light scattering is crucial for developing optical imaging techniques. The scattering properties of dense colloidal suspensions have been extensively investigated using the electromagnetic theory (EMT). The colloidal suspensions are widely used in liquid tissue phantoms for optical imaging techniques and are encountered in various fields, such as the food and chemical industries. The interference between electric fields scattered by colloidal particles significantly influences the scattering properties, so-called the interference effects. Despite many efforts since the 1980s, a complete understanding of the interference effects has still not been achieved. The main reason is the complicated dependence of the interference on the optical wavelength, particle size, and so on. This paper briefly reviews numerical and theoretical studies of the interference effect based on the dependent scattering theory, one of the EMTs, and model equations. - Couette flow at high Knudsen number between wall and liquid boundaries

English, Scientific journal, This paper presents molecular dynamics simulations of the Couette flow of a rarefied gas between the liquid and wall boundaries and, in particular, investigates the boundary conditions for the Boltzmann equation at the liquid interface. The simulation results for various Knudsen numbers show that the slip velocity decreases at the liquid boundary and increases at the smooth wall as the Knudsen number increases, indicating that the velocity profile of the rarefied Couette flow is asymmetric. One reason for this is backscattering, in which molecules are reflected in the opposite direction to the mainstream flow, owing to molecular-scale roughness at the liquid boundary. It has also been suggested that the backscattering effect decreases when the gas density increases. This can be understood using the local Knudsen numbers near the liquid boundary., 33844587 - Numerical study of light scattering and propagation in soymilk: Effects of particle size distributions, concentrations, and medium sizes

English, Scientific journal, A water drop impacting a dry solid surface can eject a thin liquid sheet, which is forced to expand on the surface to wet the solid surface. Wetting failure, which produces defects in applications based on the impact of drops, including coating, cooling, cleaning, and printing, may occur with a sufficiently large liquid-sheet velocity. However, the exact onset of wetting failure when a drop impacts the surface has yet to be determined. Therefore, we examine the dependence of rim instability immediately after liquid-sheet ejection on the static contact angle of the solid surface at the instant of water drop impact. This study is the first attempt to solve this problem and is made possible only by using an ultra-high-speed camera. We revealed that wetting failure can occur by investigating the rim instability of the liquid sheet. - Modeling photoacoustic pressure generation in colloidal suspensions at different volume fractions based on a multi-scale approach

English, Scientific journal, Understanding light propagation in liquid phantoms, such as colloidal suspensions, involves fundamental research of near-infrared optical imaging and spectroscopy for biological tissues. Our objective is to numerically investigate light propagation in the alumina colloidal suspensions with the mean alumina particle diameter of 55 nm at the volume fraction range 1–20%. We calculated the light scattering properties using the dependent scattering theory (DST) on a length scale comparable to the optical wavelength. We calculated the steady-state radiative transfer and photon diffusion equations (RTE and PDE) using the DST results based on the finite difference method in a length scale of the mean free path. The DST calculations showed that the scattering and reduced scattering coefficients become more prominent at a higher volume fraction. The anisotropy factor is almost zero at all the volume fractions, meaning the scattering is isotropic. The comparative study of the RTE with the PDE showed that the diffusion approximation holds at the internal region with all the volume fractions and the boundary region with the volume fraction higher than 1%. Our findings suggest the usefulness of the PDE as a light propagation model for the alumina suspensions rather than the RTE, which provides accurate but complicated computation. - Mean-field kinetic theory analysis of vapor flow between evaporating and condensing interfaces in the presence of non-condensable gas molecules

English, Scientific journal, The kinetic boundary condition (KBC) represents the evaporation or condensation of molecules at the vapor–liquid interface for molecular gas dynamics (MGD). When constructing the KBC, it is necessary to classify molecular motions into evaporation, condensation, and reflection in molecular-scale simulation methods. Recently, a method that involves setting the vapor boundary and liquid boundary has been used for classifying molecules. The position of the vapor boundary is related to the position where the KBC is applied in MGD analyses, whereas that of the liquid boundary has not been uniquely determined. Therefore, in this study, we conducted molecular dynamics simulations to discuss the position of the liquid boundary for the construction of KBCs. We obtained some variables that characterize molecular motions such as the positions that the molecules reached and the time they stayed in the vicinity of the interface. Based on the characteristics of the molecules found from these variables, we investigated the valid position of the liquid boundary. We also conducted an investigation on the relationship between the condensation coefficient and the molecular incident velocity from the vapor phase to the liquid phase. The dependence of the condensation coefficient on the incident velocity of molecules was confirmed, and the value of the condensation coefficient becomes small in the low-incident-velocity range. Furthermore, we found that the condensation coefficient in the non-equilibrium state shows almost the same value as that in the equilibrium state, although the corresponding velocity distribution functions of the incident velocity significantly differ from each other., 28160290 - A comparative study of the delta-Eddington and Galerkin quadrature methods for highly forward scattering of photons in random media

English, Scientific journal, Constructions of numerical schemes for solving the radiative transfer equation (RTE) are crucial to evaluate light propagation inside photocatalytic systems. We develop accurate and efficient schemes of the three-dimensional and time-dependent RTE for numerical phantoms modeling aqueous titanium dioxide suspensions, in which the anisotropy of the forward-directed scattering varies and the strength of absorption is comparable to that of scattering. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical solutions, the forward-directed phase function is renormalized in the zeroth or first order with a small number of discrete angular directions. Then, we investigate the influences of the forward-directed scattering on the numerical solutions by comparing with the analytical solutions. The investigation shows that with the anisotropy factor less than approximately 0.7 corresponding to the moderate forward-directed scattering, the numerical solutions of the RTE using the both of the zeroth and first order renormalization approaches are accurate due to the reductions of the numerical errors of the phase function. With the anisotropy factor more than approximately 0.7 corresponding to the highly forward-directed scattering, the first order renormalization approach still provides the accurate results, while the zeroth order approach does not due to the large errors of the phase function. These results suggest that the developed scheme using the first order renormalization can provide accurate and efficient calculations of light propagation in photocatalytic systems. - Fine droplets generation induced by interactions between focused ultrasound and a liquid surface

Japanese - Kinetic boundary condition in vapor-liquid two-phase system during unsteady net evaporation/condensation
Misaki Kon, Kazumichi Kobayashi, Masao Watanabe
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MECHANICS B-FLUIDS, 64, 81, 92, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Jul. 2017, [Peer-reviewed], [Invited]
English, Scientific journal, Heat and mass transfer caused by nonequilibrium phase change (net evaporation/condensation) play a major role in a vapor-liquid two-phase flow. In general, liquid temperature changes with time because of the heat and mass transfer between the vapor and liquid phases; however, a precise investigation of the transport phenomena related to this temporal evolution of liquid temperature is still lacking. The aim of this study is to examine a kinetic boundary condition, which depends on liquid temperature, for the Boltzmann equation in a vapor-liquid two-phase system with unsteady net evaporation/condensation. In this study, we confirmed whether the kinetic boundary condition follows the temporal evolution of liquid temperature attributed to unsteady net evaporation/condensation by using the molecular simulation based on mean-field kinetic theory, and then we validated the accuracy of the kinetic boundary condition by solving the initial boundary value problem of the Boltzmann equation in unsteady net evaporation/condensation. These results showed that the kinetic boundary condition follows the temporal evolution of liquid temperature in the simulation setting of this study. Furthermore, we concluded that the kinetic boundary condition that depends on liquid temperature is guaranteed to be accurate even in unsteady net evaporation/condensation by considering the temporal evolution of liquid temperature.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, 33, 5, WILEY, May 2017, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, Diffuse optical tomography using near-infrared light in a wavelength range from 700 to 1000nm has the potential to enable non-invasive diagnoses of thyroid cancers; some of which are difficult to detect by conventional methods such as ultrasound tomography. Diffuse optical tomography needs to be based on a physically accurate model of light propagation in the neck, because it reconstructs tomographic images of the optical properties in the human neck by inverse analysis. Our objective here was to investigate the effects of three factors on light propagation in the neck using the 2D time-dependent radiative transfer equation: (1) the presence of the trachea, (2) the refractive-index mismatch at the trachea-tissue interface, and (3) the effect of neck organs other than the trachea (spine, spinal cord, and blood vessels). There was a significant influence of reflection and refraction at the trachea-tissue interface on the light intensities in the region between the trachea and the front of the neck surface. Organs other than the trachea showed little effect on the light intensities measured at the front of the neck surface although these organs affected the light intensities locally. These results indicated the necessity of modeling the refractive-index mismatch at the trachea-tissue interface and the possibility of modeling other neck organs simply as a homogeneous medium when the source and detectors were far from large blood vessels. - Kinetic boundary conditions for vapor-gas binary mixture

English, Scientific journal, Using molecular dynamics simulations, the present study investigated the precise characteristics of the binary mixture of condensable gas (vapor) and noncondensable gas (NC gas) molecules creating kinetic boundary conditions (KBCs) at a gas-liquid interface in equilibrium. We counted the molecules utilizing the improved two-boundary method proposed in previous studies by Kobayashi et al. (Heat Mass Trans 52: 1851-1859, 2016. doi: 10.1007/s00231-015-1700-6). In this study, we employed Ar for the vapor molecules, and Ne for the NC gas molecules. The present method allowed us to count easily the evaporating, condensing, degassing, dissolving, and reflecting molecules in order to investigate the detailed motion of the molecules, and also to evaluate the velocity distribution function of the KBCs at the interface. Our results showed that the evaporation and condensation coefficients for vapor and NC gas molecules decrease with the increase in the molar fraction of the NC gas molecules in the liquid. We also found that the KBCs can be specified as a function of the molar fraction and liquid temperature. Furthermore, we discussed the method to construct the KBCs of vapor and NC gas molecules. - Molecular dynamics study on evaporation and reflection of monatomic molecules to construct kinetic boundary condition in vapor-liquid equilibria

HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER, 52, 9, 1851, 1859, SPRINGER, Sep. 2016, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, Using molecular dynamics simulations, the present study investigates the precise characteristics of evaporating and reflecting monatomic molecules (argon) composing a kinetic boundary condition (KBC) in a vapor-liquid equilibria. We counted the evaporating and reflecting molecules utilizing two boundaries (vapor and liquid boundaries) proposed by the previous studies (Meland et al. in Phys Fluids 16:223-243, 2004; Gu et al. in Fluid Phase Equilib 297:77-89, 2010). In the present study, we improved the method using the two boundaries incorporating the concept of the spontaneously evaporating molecular mass flux. The present method allows us to count the evaporating and reflecting molecules easily, to investigate the detail motion of the evaporating and reflecting molecules, and also to evaluate the velocity distribution function of the KBC at the vapor-liquid interface, appropriately. From the results, we confirm that the evaporating and reflecting molecules in the normal direction to the interface have slightly faster and significantly slower average velocities than that of the Maxwell distribution at the liquid temperature, respectively. Also, the stall time of the reflecting molecules at the interphase that is the region in the vicinity of the vapor-liquid interface is much shorter than those of the evaporating molecules. Furthermore, we discuss our method for constructing the KBC that incorporates condensation and evaporation coefficients. Based on these results, we suggest that the proposed method is appropriate for investigating KBC in various nonequilibrium states or multi-component systems. - Liquid temperature dependence of kinetic boundary condition at vapor-liquid interface

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER, 99, 317, 326, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, Aug. 2016, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, For the accurate description of heat and mass transfer through a vapor-liquid interface, the appropriate modeling of the interface during nonequilibrium phase change (net evaporation/condensation) is a crucial issue. The aim of this study is to propose a microscopic interfacial model which should be imposed at the interface as the kinetic boundary condition for the Boltzmann equation. In this study, we constructed the kinetic boundary condition for monoatomic molecules over a wide range of liquid temperature based on mean field kinetic theory, and we validated the accuracy of the constructed kinetic boundary condition by solving the boundary value problem of the Boltzmann equation. These results showed that we can impose the kinetic boundary condition at the interface by simply specifying liquid temperature and simulate the complex vapor-liquid two-phase flow induced by net evaporation/condensation. Furthermore, we applied the constructed kinetic boundary condition to the boundary condition for the fluid-dynamic type equations. This application enables us to deal with a large spatio-temporal scale of the interfacial dynamics in the vapor-liquid two-phase system with net evaporation/condensation. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

English, Scientific journal, In this study, we investigated nanodroplet spreading at the early stage after the impact using molecular dynamics simulations by changing the magnitude of the intermolecular force between the liquid and wall molecules. We showed that the droplet deformation after the impact greatly depends on the intermolecular force. The temporal evolution of the spreading diameters was measured by the cylindrical control volume for several molecular layers in the vicinity of the wall. At the early stage of the nanodroplet impact, the normalized spreading radius of the droplet is proportional to the square root of the normalized time, (t) over cap. This result is understood by the geometrical consideration presented by Rioboo et al. ["Time evolution of liquid drop impact onto solid, dry surfaces," Exp. Fluids 33, 112-124 (2002)]. In addition, we found that as the intermolecular force between the liquid and wall becomes stronger, the normalized spreading diameter of the first molecular layer on the wall remains less dependent on the impact velocity. Furthermore, the time evolution of the droplet spreading changes from root(t) over cap to log (t) over cap with time.

Japanese, Scientific journal, The aim of this study is to confirm the existence of a spontaneous evaporation molecular mass flux which takes a constant value independent of the degree of net evaporation/condensation. We carried out the numerical simulation based on the mean field kinetic theory during net evaporation/condensation and estimated the evaporation and reflection molecular mass fluxes by using a pair of boundaries. The simulation results showed that the reflection molecular mass flux varies with the increase of the degree of nonequilibrium, and the evaporation molecular mass flux takes a constant value during net evaporation and condensation. - Study on Pressure Wave Propagation in a Liquid Containing Spherical Bubbles in a Rectangular Duct

English, Scientific journal, Pressure wave propagation in a liquid containing several bubbles is numerically investigated. We simulate liner plane wave propagation in a liquid containing 10 spherical bubbles in a rectangular duct with the equation of motion for N spherical bubbles. The sound pressures of the reflected waves from the rigid walls are calculated by using the method of images. The result shows that the phase velocity of the pressure wave propagating in the liquid containing 10 spherical bubbles in the duct agrees well with the low-frequency speed of sound in a homogeneous bubbly liquid. - Numerical simulation of bubble collapse and the transfer of vapor and noncondensable gas through the bubble interface using the ghost fluid method

English, Scientific journal, The ghost fluid method is improved to include heat and mass transfer across the gas-liquid interface during the bubble collapse in a compressible liquid. This transfer is due to both nonequilibrium phase transition at the interface and diffusion of the noncondensable gas across the interface. In the present method, the ghost fluids are defined with the intention of conserving the total mass, momentum, and energy, as well as the mass of each component while considering the heat and mass fluxes across the interface. The gas phase inside the bubble is a mixture of vapor and noncondensable gas, where binary diffusion between the mixture components is taken into account. The gas diffusion in the surrounding liquid is also considered. This method is applied to a simulation of a single spherical bubble collapse with heat and mass transfer across the interface in a compressible liquid. When noncondensable gas is present, it accumulates near the interface due to vapor condensation, thereby preventing further condensation. This results in a weaker bubble collapse than the case without noncondensable gas. - How do bubbles reduce the speed of sound in a bubbly liquid in a duct?

English, International conference proceedings, An accurate determination of optical properties of agricultural products is crucial for non-destructive assessment of food quality. For the determination, light intensity is measured at the surface of the product
then, inverse analysis is employed based on a light propagation model such as the radiative transfer equation (RTE). The inverse analysis requires high computational loads because the light intensity is numerically calculated using the model every time the optical properties are changed. For the calculation, we propose an efficient technique by combining a numerical solution with an analytical solution of the RTE, and investigate the validity of the technique in a two-dimensional homogeneous circular medium which is regarded as a light propagation model with optical properties of kiwifruit. The proposed technique can provide accurate results of the light intensity in change of the optical properties, and the accuracy is less dependent on the boundary conditions and source-detector angles. In addition, the technique can reduce computation time compared with that for numerical calculation of the RTE. These results indicate usefulness of the proposed technique for the inverse analysis. - Observation of Water-Droplet Impacts with Velocities of O(10 m/s) and Subsequent Flow Field

English, Scientific journal, A two-fluid spray cleaning technique has been gaining popularity as a cleaning process in the semiconductor industry. The most essential physical process in this technique is the impact of droplets with a velocity of O(10 m/s) on a solid surface. This study aims to experimentally and numerically investigate water-droplet impacts with velocities of up to 50 m/s and their subsequent flow fields, especially the gas flow field in the strictly limited area in the vicinity of the contact line. First, we experimentally evaluated the velocity of the splash and numerically calculated the gas velocities. Comparison of these velocities supported our assumption that the maximum gas velocity may be on approximately the same order as the velocity of the splash. Therefore, we concluded that the gas velocity field of the order of 500 m/s indeed develops at the impact of droplet with a velocity of the order of 50 m/s. Moreover, we determined that the gas pressure was of the order of 1.0 MPa by numerical analysis. Such a high pressure leads to shock wave propagation, which can contribute to the cleaning process in semiconductor production. (C) 2015 The Electrochemical Society.

English, Scientific journal, The aim of the present study is to develop the method of determining the kinetic boundary condition (KBC) at a vapor-liquid interface in net evaporation/condensation. We proposed a novel method for determining the KBC by combining the numerical simulations of the mean field kinetic theory and the molecular gas dynamics. The method was evaluated on steady vapor flow between two liquid slabs at different temperatures. A uniform net mass flux in the vapor phase induced by net evaporation and condensation is obtained from the numerical simulation of the mean field kinetic theory for both vapor and liquid phases. The KBC was specified by using the uniform net mass flux, and the numerical simulation of the molecular gas dynamics was conducted for the vapor phase. Comparing the macroscopic variables in the vapor phase obtained from both numerical simulations, we can validate the KBC whether the appropriate solutions are obtained. Moreover, the evaporation and condensation coefficients were estimated uniquely. The results showed that the condensation and evaporation coefficients were identical and constant in net evaporation. On the other hand, in net condensation, the condensation coefficient increased with the collision molecular mass flux. We also presented the applicable limit of the KBC which is assumed to be the isotropic Gaussian distribution at the liquid temperature. From these results, the KBCs in net evaporation and condensation, which enable the exact macroscopic variables to be determined, were proposed.

Japanese, Scientific journal, The growth rate of a liquid film formed on a shock-tube endwall due to condensation of methanol vapor behind a shock wave reflected at the endwall is measured by an optical interferometer at room temperature, and it is analyzed with the aid of molecular gas dynamics in order to deduce evaporation and condensation coefficients. The measurements are done in the region of 1 ≤σ / ρ*<1.3, where σ / ρ* is nonequilibrium degree. The condensation coefficient is almost the same value as the evaporation coefficient (=0.86) in 1 ≤σ / ρ* <1.05 and decreases to the smaller values than the evaporation coefficient in σ / ρ*＞1.05, and the kinetic boundary condition is valid in 1 ≤σ / ρ*<1.05. - 蒸発・凝縮をともなう非線形共鳴音波

Japanese, Scientific journal, We have been developing a novel surface cleaning technique using steam and water mixed spray. Our technique shows great efficiency in removing thin surface film such as photo-resist film. However, the film-removal mechanism has not been clarified yet. One possible film-removal mechanism is the local heat expansion due to the difference of coefficients of linear expansion between film and substrate. In this study, we studied the removal characteristics of deposited aluminum film on a glass surface by spraying steam-water or air-water mixed spray. The surface temperature changes caused by the spray were carefully measured. We found that the steam and water mixed spray that increases the surface temperature can remove the film while the air and water mixed spray cannot. These results indicate that the difference of coefficients of linear expansion between film and substrate may not be the dominant factor in the film removal by the steam and water mixed spray. - Observation of Deformation of Single Droplet Impact on Solid Surface (Effects of Liquid Properties, Surface Roughness and Surrounding Gas Pressure)

English, Scientific journal, In the steam-water mixed spray-cleaning technique, droplet impact on the solid surface is the one of the primarily important physical processes. We experimentally studied a droplet impact on a solid plate that moves with a speed ranging from 1 to 50 m/s using high-speed video camera. We observed that high-speed liquid film flows radially outward along the surface just after the impact. In addition, we also observed that liquid turns into corona splash in the cases of higher impact velocities. These flows with large velocities can generate huge shear stress on the solid surface, which may contribute to cleaning. Furthermore, we numerically studied the velocity field development and found that gas flow also spreads obliquely upward. The obliquely upward flow field may also contribute in advecting removed particles or stripped resists away from the original place. - Shock wave-bubble interaction near soft and rigid boundaries during lithotripsy: numerical analysis by the improved ghost fluid method

English, Scientific journal, In the case of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), a shock wave-bubble interaction inevitably occurs near the focusing point of stones, resulting in stone fragmentation and subsequent tissue damage. Because shock wave-bubble interactions are high-speed phenomena occurring in tissue consisting of various media with different acoustic impedance values, numerical analysis is an effective method for elucidating the mechanism of these interactions. However, the mechanism has not been examined in detail because, at present, numerical simulations capable of incorporating the acoustic impedance of various tissues do not exist. Here, we show that the improved ghost fluid method (IGFM) can treat shock wave-bubble interactions in various media. Nonspherical bubble collapse near a rigid or soft tissue boundary (stone, liver, gelatin and fat) was analyzed. The reflection wave of an incident shock wave at a tissue boundary was the primary cause for the acceleration or deceleration of bubble collapse. The impulse that was obtained from the temporal evolution of pressure created by the bubble collapse increased the downward velocity of the boundary and caused subsequent boundary deformation. Results of this study showed that the IGFM is a useful method for analyzing the shock wave-bubble interaction near various tissues with different acoustic impedance. - Behavior of Phospholipid Layer-Coated Microbubbles under Pressure Change

Japanese, Scientific journal, A fast simulation method is proposed for underwater explosion. In the method, the motion of a bubble generated by the underwater explosion is modeled with a point source and a doublet
the source and doublet represent the radial motion and translational of the bubble, respectively. The bubble motions are solved coupling with the motions of free surface and a floating body by using the boundary element method (BEM). The growth and collapse of a bubble under a floating body is simulated with the present method. It is shown that the present results are in qualitative agreement with those obtained from the BEM without the bubble model in which the interfacial motion of a bubble is solved directly with the BEM. The present simulation is found to be about six times faster than the BEM simulation without the bubble model. - Boundary element analysis of bubble dynamics under a floating body (1st report, numerical simulation using the three-dimensional boundary element method with linear elements)

Japanese, Scientific journal, The growth and collapse of a bubble under a floating body are simulated by using the boundary element method with linear elements to predict the damage of ship bodies induced by underwater explosion. The three-dimensional deformation of the bubble, the translation and rotation of the floating body, and the motion of water surface are taken into account in the simulation. It is shown that the bubble deforms three-dimensionally, and the liquid jet threads the bubble due to the interactions among the bubble, the floating body, and the water surface
the directions of the bubble translation and the liquid jet depend on the initial location of the bubble. The Kelvin impulse is found to be useful in evaluating the translational motion of the bubble. Also, the horizontal translational motion of the bubble is much dependent on the rotational motion of a floating body
when the moment of inertia of the floating body is small, the largest horizontal translation is realized between the axis of flotation and the edge of the floating body. It is also shown that there exists an initial horizontal bubble location where the moment of force acting on the floating body has the maximum value. - An optical interferometer for measurement of the condensation rate of a vapor in a vapor-liquid nonequilibrium state

Handbook of Interferometers: Research, Technology and Applications, 605, 614, Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 05 Nov. 2009
English, In book, This chapter provides a review on an optical interferometer for fine measurement of the condensation rate of a vapor on the endwall surface of the vapor-filled low-pressure section of a shock tube. The interferometer, the original idea of which was proposed by Fujikawa et al. [1, 2], is an optical system composed of a liquid film formed on the endwall surface, the transparent endwall made of quartz glass, and physical and reference light beams. The reference beam is used to eliminate systematic noises from the physical one. Measurements of the time evolution in thickness of the liquid film for water or methanol demonstrate that it is obtained with a sufficient accuracy. From the time evolution and the theoretical counterpart based on the Gaussian-BGK Boltzmann equation, values of the condensation coefficient, an unknown parameter involved in the kinetic boundary condition at the vapor-liquid interface, are determined for water and methanol. - Direct numerical simulations of interaction of strong shock waves with nonspherical gas bubbles near glass boundaries in mercury

English, Scientific journal, The present study is concerned with the material damage of the liquid-mercury target systems induced by bubble collapse. The interaction of an incident strong shock wave with an initially spherical bubble near a glass wall in mercury is simulated using an improved Ghost Fluid Method (GFM), in which Riemann solutions are utilized to correct the values at boundary nodes. The mercury and glass are evaluated by using the equation of state for stiffened gas. The axi-symmetric motions of three phases for air, mercury, and glass are solved directly coupling the GFM with the level set method. The interaction of the shock wave with the bubble leads to the bubble deformation and the formation of liquid-jet during the collapse. The strong shock waves are generated in the mercury not only when the bubble rebounds but also when the liquid-jet impacts downstream surface of the bubble. It is shown that the impact of the shock waves on the glass wall leads to the formation of depression of the glass surface
the toroidal bubble formed after the impact of liquid-jet penetrates into the depression. The present results for the axi-symmetric bubble collapse are compared with those for the two-dimensional cylindrical bubble collapse. The stronger shock waves are generated when the axi-symmetric bubble collapses, which results in the higher impulsive pressure at the glass wall and the deeper depression of the glass surface. - Condensation coefficient of water in a weak condensation state

English, Scientific journal, The condensation coefficient of water at a vapor-liquid interface is determined by combining shock tube experiments and numerical simulations of the Gaussian-BGK Boltzmann equation. The time evolution in thickness of a liquid film, which is formed on the shock tube endwall behind the shock wave reflected at the endwall, is measured with an optical interferometer consisting of the physical beam and the reference one. The reference beam is utilized to eliminate systematic noises from the physical beam. The growth rate of the film is evaluated from the measured time evolution and it is incorporated into the kinetic boundary condition for the Boltzmann equation. From a numerical simulation using the boundary condition, the condensation coefficient of water is uniquely deduced. The results show that, in a condition of weak condensation near a vapor-liquid equilibrium state, the condensation coefficient of water is almost equal to the evaporation coefficient estimated by molecular dynamics simulations near a vapor-liquid equilibrium state and it decreases as the system becomes a nonequilibrium state. The condensation coefficient of water is nearly identical with that of methanol [Mikami, S., Kobayashi, K., Ota, T., Fujikawa, S., Yano, T., Ichijo, M., 2006.

English, Scientific journal, This paper deals with the condensation coefficient of methanol, which is evaluated from a condensation rate at the vapor-liquid interface. Film condensation is induced on the endwall of a vapor-filled shock tube, when a shock wave is reflected at the endwall and the vapor becomes supersaturated there. The liquid film grows with the lapse of time. The evolution in time of the liquid film thickness is measured by an optical interferometer with a high accuracy, and thereby the net condensation mass flux at the interface is obtained. The mass flux is incorporated into the kinetic boundary condition (KBC) at the interface for the Gaussian-BGK Boltzmann equation. Such a treatment of the boundary condition makes it possible to formally eliminate the evaporation and condensation coefficients in KBC and to obtain the unique numerical solution of the vapor-liquid system. In this way, the instantaneous condensation coefficient is accurately evaluated from the conformity with experiment and numerical solution. It is found that the values of condensation coefficient are, near vapor-liquid equilibrium states, close to those evaluated by molecular dynamics simulations.

Japanese, Scientific journal, Film condensation phenomenon of methanol vapor at the endwall of a shock tube behind a reflected shock wave is studied by combining a shock tube experiment with a numerical analysis based on molecular gas dynamics. The present method of analysis utilizes the Gaussian-BGK Boltzmann equation, which is applicable to a strong condensation of polyatomic gases, and thereby some restrictions included in our previous method of analysis are removed. The result shows that the condensation cofficient is nearly unity when the ratio of the vapor pressure to the saturated vapor pressure at the interface is close to unity, and it decreases with the increase of the pressure ratio. Furthermore, the relations between the vapor condition and the condensation coefficient are extended to the second order so that it may contain the effect of moderately strong condensation and that of polyatomic molecules. - Molecular gas dynamics applied to phase change processes at a vapor-liquid interface: shock-tube experiment and MGD computation for methanol

English, Scientific journal, This paper deals with a molecular gas-dynamics method applied to the accurate determination of the condensation coefficient of methanol vapor. The method consisted of an experiment using a shock tube and computations using a molecular gas-dynamics equation. The experiments were performed in such situations where the shift from a vapor-liquid equilibrium state to a nonequilibrium one is realized by a shock wave in a scale of molecular mean free time of vapor molecules. The temporal evolution in thickness of a liquid film formed on the shock-tube endwall behind a reflected shock wave is measured by an optical interferometer. By comparing the measured liquid-film thickness with numerical solutions for a polyatomic version of the Gaussian-BGK model of the Boltzmann equation, the condensation coefficient of methanol vapor is accurately determined in vapor-liquid nonequilibrium states. As a result, it is clear that the condensation coefficient is just unity very near to an equilibrium state, but is smaller far from the equilibrium state. - Numerical study of condensation of a polyatomic vapor by a shock wave based on the kinetic theory of gases

English, International conference proceedings, A semi-infinite expanse of a polyatomic vapor bounded by its condensed phase is considered. The condensed phase is a thin liquid film on a solid wall of finite thickness. An incident shock wave is reflected at the liquid film, and thereby the pressure behind the reflected shock exceeds the saturated pressure. Then, the vapor begins to condense onto the surface of the liquid film. We present the results of numerical study of the behavior of vapor and the growth rate of liquid film based on the kinetic theory, the Gaussian-BGK model of the Boltzmann equation with a kinetic boundary condition of a mixed type including the condensation coefficient. It is shown that both the behavior of vapor and the growth rate of liquid film are considerably affected by values of the condensation coefficient. The numerical results are also compared with those by a previous theory.

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT), which is still under development, has a potential to enable non-invasive diagnoses of thyroid cancers in the human neck using the near-infrared light. This modality needs a photon migration model because scattered light is used. There are two types of photon migration models: the radiative transport equation (RTE) and diffusion equation (DE). The RTE can describe photon migration in the human neck with accuracy, while the DE enables an efficient calculation. For developing the accurate and efficient model of photon migration, it is crucial to investigate a condition where the DE holds in a scattering medium including a void region under the refractive-index mismatch at the void boundary because the human neck has a trachea (void region) and the refractive indices are different between the human neck and trachea. Hence, in this paper, we compare photon migration using the RTE with that using the DE in the medium. The numerical results show that the DE is valid under the refractive-index match at the void boundary even though the void region is near the source and detector positions. Under the refractive-index mismatch at the boundary, the numerical results using the DE disagree with those using the RTE when the void region is near the source and detector positions. This is probably because the anisotropy of the light scattering remains around the void boundary., AMER INST PHYSICS, English - Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Kinetic Boundary Conditions of Gas-Vapor Binary Mixture

The aim of this study is to construct the kinetic boundary condition for Ar-Ne binary mixture in equilibrium using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The temperature of the MD simulation system is 85 K; Ar molecules behave as condensable gas (vapor), and Ne molecules behave as non-condensable gas (gas). In this simulation, we utilize the two-boundary method improved by our previous study to investigate behaviors of Ar and Ne molecules at the interface. From the results, we can obtain the molecular mass fluxes at the interface, and evaluate the values of evaporation and condensation coefficients of Ar (vapor) and Ne (gas) molecules., AMER INST PHYSICS, English - Molecular Simulation of Evaporation Mass Flux during Net Evaporation/Condensation

To examine the transport phenomena in a vaporliquid two-phase system attributed to the phase change, a proper specification of the mass flux at a vaporliquid interface is crucial. Since the mass flux induced by the phase change originates from the motion of molecules in the vicinity of the vaporliquid interface, a continuum description such as the fluid dynamic based approach is inappropriate. An essential way to obtain this mass flux is the analysis of the Boltzmann equation with a certain boundary condition, that is, the kinetic boundary condition. In this study, we examined the definition and the estimation procedure of the evaporation coefficient, which is included in the kinetic boundary condition, at the vaporliquid interface with phase change, especially at higher temperature for hard-sphere molecules. As the result, we confirmed that a conventional definition of the evaporation coefficient is accurate even if liquid temperature is higher. Moreover, we also confirmed that the evaporation coefficient is only the function of liquid temperature by counting the number of molecules passing through the two boundaries which are placed near the vaporliquid interface., AMER INST PHYSICS, English - J0540204 Numerical simulation of gas shear flow between liquid slab and solid wall by using Enskog-Vlasov equation

The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between the slip velocity at the gas-liquid interface and the rarefaction. We carried out the numerical simulation of the steady shear flow between the liquid slab and the solid wall with changing Knudsen number based on mean field kinetic theory. The simulation results showed that the slip velocity at the gas-liquid interface increases with the increase of Knudsen number. On the other hand, the slip velocity at the gas-solid interface is smaller than that at the gas-liquid interface in all cases of Knudsen number., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese - J0540301 Numerical Computation of a Mathematical Model Applying Boundary Conditions Derived from Molecular Gas Dynamics at Gas-Liquid Interface for Describing Bubble Behaviors Accompanied by Phase Changes

The collapse and rebound of a single spherical bubble with phase changes at the vapor-iquid interface are fundamental physical phenomena in the fields of industry and medicine. In this study, we propose a mathematical model of describing the dynamics of a spherical vapor bubble with phase changes (evaporation and condensation) at the vapor-liquid interface. To deal with evaporation and condensation phenomena at the interface precisely, we utilize the boundary condition of the interface derived from the molecular gas dynamics analysis. The calculation results of the mathematical model show that the maximum pressure inside a bubble due to the bubble collapse with phase changes becomes higher than that of the bubble collapse without phase changes., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese - 22aAK-12 Effect of nonequilibrium velocity distribution function to vapor flows

An accurate determination of optical properties of agricultural products is crucial for non-destructive assessment of food quality. For the determination, light intensity is measured at the surface of the product; then, inverse analysis is employed based on a light propagation model such as the radiative transfer equation (RTE). The inverse analysis requires high computational loads because the light intensity is numerically calculated using the model every time the optical properties are changed. For the calculation, we propose an efficient technique by combining a numerical solution with an analytical solution of the RTE, and investigate the validity of the technique in a two-dimensional homogeneous circular medium which is regarded as a light propagation model with optical properties of kiwifruit. The proposed technique can provide accurate results of the light intensity in change of the optical properties, and the accuracy is less dependent on the boundary conditions and source-detector angles. In addition, the technique can reduce computation time compared with that for numerical calculation of the RTE. These results indicate usefulness of the proposed technique for the inverse analysis., SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, English - Chapter 5 : Shock Tube Experiment of Evaporation and Condensation

By using molecular dynamics simulations of argon molecules, the present study investigates molecular evaporation and reflection in equilibrium at a vapor liquid interface, which involves the kinetic boundary condition (KBC) of the Boltzmann equation. The present method allows evaporation and reflection molecules to be selected naturally at the vapor-liquid interphase. Based on the results, we confirm that the evaporation molecules in the equilibrium state behave almost similar to spontaneous evaporation molecules (as determined by virtual vacuum evaporation simulations). Furthermore, we find that the velocity distribution of reflection molecules in the normal direction to the boundary is lower than the Maxwell distribution at the liquid temperature., AMER INST PHYSICS, English - Numerical Analysis of Kinetic Boundary Conditions at Net Evaporation/condensation Interfaces in Various Liquid Temperatures Based on Mean-field Kinetic Theory

This study aims to investigate the liquid temperature dependency of the kinetic boundary condition at a vapor-liquid interface in net evaporation/condensation. The numerical simulations based on the mean-field kinetic theory and the molecular gas dynamics in the cases of various liquid temperatures were carried out. We focused on two important issues for the kinetic boundary condition; one is to investigate the applicable limit of the kinetic boundary condition which is assumed to be the isotropic velocity distribution at the liquid temperature and the other is to estimate the value of the condensation coefficient included in the kinetic boundary condition. The simulation results showed that the applicable limit of the isotropic velocity distribution in net evaporation/condensation practically independent from the liquid temperature. Furthermore, the condensation coefficients in net evaporation/condensation depend significantly on the liquid temperature; the condensation coefficient is constant and equal to the evaporation coefficient in net evaporation, while, in net condensation, the condensation coefficient increases with the increase of the degree of nonequilibrium., AMER INST PHYSICS, English - J053025 Numerical Simulation for Kinetic Boundary Condition at a Vapor-Liquid Interface Based Enskog-Vlasov Equation

The aim of the present study is to investigate the kinetic boundary condition (KBC) at a vapor-liquid interface in net evaporation/condensation states by using the Enskog-Vlasov equation. Our target system is a steady evaporation and condensation state between two liquid slabs with different temperatures. The results show that we can realize the simulation of steady evaporation and condensation phenomena between the two-liquid slabs with different temperature. Also, the normal and tangential temperatures including the kinetic boundary condition is not only the function of molecular energy flux but also the function of molecular collision mass flux in net condensation interface., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese - J053024 Molecular dynamics analysis on evaporation of argon liquid in argon-neon system

The aim of the present study is to establish the kinetic boundary condition of a vapor-liquid interface for argon-neon two-component systems by using the molecular dynamics simulation. Two kinds of simulations were conducted: vapor-liquid equilibrium and evaporation simulations at the liquid temperature 85 K. In this paper, we investigated the influence of mole rate of neon for the evaporation flux of argon and calculated the value of the evaporation coefficient. The results show that as the mole rate of neon increases, the evaporation coefficient of argon becomes smaller. The main factor for the decrease of evaporation coefficient is the increase of the outgoing molecular mass flux at the equilibrium states due to the increase of mole rate of neon. Further, the velocity distribution function of argon composed of the evaporating molecules deviates from the half - Maxwellian with the liquid temperature., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese - Numerical analysis of nonequilibrium evaporation/condensation phenomena by Enskog-Vlasov equation

Weakly nonlinear propagation of diffracted ultrasound beams in a nonuniform bubbly liquid is theoretically studied based on the method of multiple scales with the set of scaling relations of some physical parameters. It is assumed that the spatial distribution of the number density of bubbles in an initial state at rest is a slowly varying function of space coordinates and the amplitude of its variation is small compared with a mean number density. As a result, a Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuznetsov (KZK) equation with dispersion and nonuniform effects for a low frequency case and a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with dissipation, diffraction, and nonuniform effects for a high frequency case, are derived from the basic equations of bubbly flows., AMER INST PHYSICS, English - Resonant Gas Oscillation with Evaporation and Condensation

As a result, we derive a nonlinear integro-differential equation for determining the wave profile with the evaporation and condensation including alpha.

In this study, equilibrium and nonequilibrium numerical simulations for vapor-liquid two-phase systems were performed by using the Enskog-Vlasov equation. The kinetic boundary condition (KBC) at the interface was investigated. The simulation results showed that at a low or slightly high liquid temperature, the velocity distribution of the KBC obtained by our simulation is anisotropic Gaussian; this result agrees qualitatively with the results of the MD simulation performed by Ishiyama et al. (PRL, 2005). Also, the nonequilibrium nature of KBC becomes larger with the increase of liquid temperature., AMER INST PHYSICS, English - NONLINEAR PROPAGATION OF SOUND BEAM IN NONUNIFORM BUBBLY LIQUIDS

Nonlinear propagation of weakly diffracted sound beams in a weakly nonuniform bubbly liquid is analytically studied based on the method of multiple scales and scaling relations of some physical parameters. The system of basic equations consists of the conservation equations of mass and momentum for gas and liquid in a two-flui model, the Keller equation for bubble wall, the state equations for gas and liquid, and so on. The compressibility of liquid is taken into account and this leads to the wave attenuation due to bubble oscillations. It is assumed that the spatial distribution of the number density of bubbles in an initial state at rest is a slowly varying function of space coordinates and the amplitude of its variation is small compared with a mean number density. As a result, a Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuznetsov (KZK) equation with dispersion and nonuniform effects for a low frequency and long wavelength case and a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with dissipation, diffraction, and nonuniform effects are derived from the basic equations., AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, English - ULTRASOUND BEAM RADIATED FROM CIRCULAR PISTON IN BUBBLY LIQUIDS: NONLINEAR ANALYSIS FOR ENVELOPE OF SHORT WAVES WITH DIFFRACTION EFFECT

A weakly diffracted ultrasound beam radiated from a circular piston placed in a bubbly liquid is formulated in terms of a wave equation based on scaling relations of physical parameters [1]: typical propagation speed, period, wavelength, and diameter of beam. We derive a nonlinear evolution equation for the modulation of quasi-monochromatic waves for the case of a short wavelength with a moderately high frequency from a set of basic equations for bubbly flows: conservation equations of mass and momentum for gas and liquid in a two-fluid model, Keller's equation for bubble wall motion, state equations for gas and liquid, and so on. The compressibility of liquid is taken into account, and thus the waves are attenuated due to bubble oscillations. The viscosity of gas, heat conduction in gas and liquid, and phase change across bubble wall are ignored. As a result, the nonlinear Schrodinger equation for the envelope of the beam with diffraction effect is derived from the basic equations. For plane waves the diffraction term does not appear, and hence our equation is reduced to the original nonlinear Schrodinger equation [1]., AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, English - J054032 Molecular Gas Dynamics on Resonant Gas Oscillations Accompanied with Phase Changes at Vapor-Liquid Interface

We propose a new method for measurement of the evaporation coefficient using sound resonance experiment based on a theory of molecular gas dynamics. The evaporation coefficient is one of the parameters contained in the kinetic boundary condition. The evaporation coefficient of water is determined from the pressure amplitude of resonant sound wave in a cylindrical space bounded by a sound source and a vapor-liquid interface. By comparing the pressure amplitude with a linear theory based on molecular gas dynamics, we prove that the evaporation coefficient of water is about 1.0 around 300K., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese - J054033 Numerical Simulations for Couette flows in Dense Gas Based on Enskog Equation

Numerical simulations for Couette flows in a dense gas are conducted based on the Enskog equation. In order to solve the Enskog equation, we use the particle scheme method, which is an extension of the well known DSMC method that is used to solve the Boltzmann equation. The results agree well with the solution of the Boltzmann equation, as the ratio of molecular diameter to the mean free path of the molecules, a/ A, becomes smaller. A thin layer is formed near a solid wall surface as the ratio al A becomes larger. We also find that the slip velocity on the solid surface depends on the ratio al A., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese - Application of multigrid ghost fluid method to the interaction of shock waves with bubbles in liquids

A new numerical method based on the ghost fluid method was developed for compitssible two-phase flows
the idea of athptive mesh refinement with multigrid was implemented in the method. In the method, interpolation tecimiques between multiple grids near interfaces were also proposed. The present techniques are effective in diminishing the numerical instability caused by the discontinuity of physical variables across the interfaces. The bubble collapse induced by the interaction of an incident shock with a gas bubble in water was simulated with the present multigrid ghost fluid method. We have succeeded in capturing the fine interface and vortex structure during the collapsing and rebounding stage. The mass conservation is improved with the adaptive mesh refinement combined with the hybrid particle level set method. Also, the interaction of an incident shock wave with a gas bubble near a deformable boundary was simulated successfully with the method in which the motions of three phases, i.e., the gas inside the bubble, the ambient liquid, and the wall material, are taken into consideration. © 2011 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers., Japanese - 403 Human Nailfold Capillary Shape Analysis and Red Blood Cell Velocity Measurement

The bubble deformation in a gas-liquid contraction tube flow is observed with a high-speed camera to understand the mechanism of the bubble fission in the tube. It is shown that the surface instability occurs on the tip of a large bubble above the throat, which leads to the continuous detachment of small bubbles into the throat. Two kinds of liquid jets, ie, the forward jet and the counter jet, occur on the surface of small bubble in the throat. The result shows that the forward jet becomes faster as the bubble is pinched off more upstream. The forward jet can be caused by the pressure gradient behind the bubble. The result also shows that the counter jet occurs only when the L/R is small when L is the distance between the upstream and downstream bubbles and R is the bubble radius. The counter jet is caused by the deformation due to the bubble-bubble interaction., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese - S0507-2-1 Numerical Simulations of Interactions of Shock Waves with In-line Bubbles

The present study is concerned with the interaction of an incident shock wave with in-line two bubbles by using the multi-grid ghost fluid method. The influence of the bubble-bubble distance on the formation of the liquid jets and the shock waves from the collapsing bubbles is investigated. It is shown that the collapse of the upstream bubble is decelerated by the rarefaction wave caused by the reflection of the incident shock wave at the surface of the downstream bubble. The shock waves generated by the collapse of the upstream bubble accelerate the collapse of the downstream bubble, which leads to the generation of higher internal gas pressure and faster liquid-jet velocity from the downstream bubble. It is also shown that there exists an initial bubble-bubble distance where the collapse of the downstream bubble is most accelerated., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese - Numerical Simulations of Two-Phase Flow in Microfluidic Network

We propose a new method for measurement of the evaporation coefficient using nonlinear sound resonance experiment based on a theory of molecular gas dynamics. The evaporation coefficient is determined from the pressure amplitude of second harmonics generated by the nonlinear effect of resonant sound wave in a cylindrical space bounded by a sound source and a gas-liquid interface. To demonstrate the applicability of this method, we conduct a test experiment.

In the present study, the kinetic boundary condition for the Boltzmann equation at a vapor-liquid interface of thin liquid layer on a solid wall is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The vapor and liquid are composed of argon molecules and the solid wall is composed of platinum molecules. Two kinds of energy parameter of L-J potential between argon and platinum are chosen for the simulations with different wetability. The results show that the kinetic boundary condition for the vapor-liquid system is applicable to the vapor-liquid-solid system as long as the liquid layer is about 6 times larger than the molecular diameter because the velocity components in every direction obey the Maxwellian and the evaporation coefficient for the vapor-liquid-solid system coincides with that for the vapor-liquid system., 日本流体力学会, JapaneseJ0201-1-4 Influence of Gas Diffusion on Growth and Shrinkage of a Microbubble with Surfactant Layers

The growth and shrinkage of surfactant-coated microbubbles are observed with a high-speed video camera. The observed bubble motion is compared with the simulation in which the dynamic surface tension and the variation of gas permeation resistance of surfactant layers are considered. The simulation is in good agreement with the experiment. It is shown that when the microbubble grows under pressure reduction, the gas diffusion from the surrounding liquid to bubble inside is suppressed by the increase of the surface tension, while it is promoted by the decrease of the gas permeation resistance. On the other hand, the bubble shrinkage due to gas diffusion after pressure increase is strongly affected by the increase of the gas permeation resistance. The variations of both the surface tension and the gas permeation resistance determine the diffusion process of microbubbles., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese754 Bubble Collapse in the Vicinity of a Tissue Surface : Numerical Simulation with the Ghost Fluid Method

In the present study, numerical simulations are conducted for the collapse of an air bubble near a tissue surface by using an improved ghost fluid method. A tissue is modeled with a gelatin that was used in the experiment by Kodama and Takayama. The bubble collapse is induced by the interaction between a bubble and an incident shock wave. A flat shock wave profile and an exponential one based on the experimemt by Kodama and Takayama are utilized, and the influence of the shock wave profile on the dynamical motion of the bubble and gelatin is investigated. It is shown that the gelatin surface is depressed by the shock waves generated from the bubble. The penetration of the bubble into the depression of the gelatin, which was demonstrated in the experiment by Kodama and Takayama, is simulated successfully. The results also show that the collapse time of a bubble is longer and the width of the depression is thinner when the shcok wave with the exponential profile interacts with the bubble., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese1115 Numerical Simulations of Single Bubble Dynamics Accompanied with Phase Change Based on Molecular Gas Dynamics(2)

The collapse and rebound of a spherical bubble filled with a noncondensable gas or condensable gas (vapor) were investigated by combining bubble dynamics and molecular gas dynamics. The polyatomic version of Gaussian-BGK Boltzmann equation was utilized for a gases vapor inside the bubble, while Fujikawa & Akamatsu's equation was utilized for the motion of the bubble. These equations were solved numerically with the kinetic boundary condition including a condensation coefficient that is an important parameter for phase change processes. The result shows that the condensation at a vapor-liquid interface of a vapor bubble is essential for the mechanism of collapse and rebound of the bubble., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese206 A Method of Evaporation-Coefficient Measurement for Liquid by Weak Sound Wave

The present paper aims at establishing kinetic boundary conditions of methanol and water through the determination of condensation coefficients based on molecular gas dynamics analysis and shock tube experiment in weak vapor-liquid nonequilibrium states. The results show that, when the ratio of vapor pressure to saturated vapor pressure at the interface is close to unity, values of condensation coefficients of methanol and water equal to evaporation coefficient estimated by the resent molecular dynamics analysis. As the ratio becomes large, the condensation coefficients decrease. The pressure ratio dependency of a condensation coefficient is explained by the molecular gas dynamics analysis., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese303 Establishment of Kinetic Boundary Conditions of Methanol and Water on the Basis of Molecular Gas Dynamics Analysis and Shock Tube Experiment(1)

We perform the determination of the condensation coefficient for methanol by combining a numerical analysis based on the molecular gas dynamics and shock tube experiment. In the numerical analysis, the boundary condition for the Boltzmann equation at the vapor liquid interface is rewritten using the net mass flux obtained from the shock tube experiment. Thereby, the condensation coefficient is determined by the vapor-liquid system. The result shows that the value of the condensation coefficient for methanol ranges from 0.7 to 0.9, and it is close to that of the evaporation coefficient evaluated by the recent molecular dynamics simulation., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japanese924 Determination of Condensation Coefficient for Methanol : Measurement of Liquid film Growth By using Optical Interferometer at the Shock Tube Endwall

The condensation coefficient is obtained by combining a shock tube experiment and the corresponding numerical analysis based on the Gaussian-BGK Boltzmann equation. In the experiment, the liquid film growth on the shock tube endwall behind the reflected shock wave is measured with a high accuracy by an optical interferometer. The interferometer system is improved, which enables us to combine the experiment and numerical analysis more closely. The results show that the condensation coefficient of methanol takes values from 0.7 to 0.9 in nonequilibrium states, and the values are close to that of evaporation coefficient evaluated by molecular dynamics simulations., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, JapaneseCondensation of methanol vapor onto its liquid film on a solid wall behind a reflected shock wave

On the basis of the polyatomic gas version of the Gaussian-BGK model of the Boltzmann equation, we shall numerically analyze the condensation of methanol vapor onto its liquid film on an endwall of the shock tube induced by the pressure elevation due to a reflected shock wave. By comparing the numerical results with experimental ones, we can determine the value of condensation coefficient in various nonequilibrium conditions. It is shown that at around room temperature, the condensation coefficient of methanol vapor is almost unity when the condensation is sufficiently weak. In this case, the asymptotic analysis for the steady problem gives an appropriate estimation for the rate of the growth of the liquid film thickness., AMER INST PHYSICS, English28pWD-12 Numerical analysis of a film condensation phenomenon of a polyatomic vapor based on molecular gas dynamics

Numerical analysis is performed for a normal shock wave in a polyatomic molecule gas based on molecular gas dynamics, where the polyatomic gas is taken to be nitrogen. We adopt the polyatomic version of Gaussian-BGK Boltzmann equation for nitrogen gas and it is solved numerically with a finite difference method. The results agree well with the experimental results by Robben and Talbot (1966) at the shock Mach number 1.71. Furthermore, we examine the transition of rotational energy in the shock wave in terms of velocity distribution functions., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, JapaneseNumerical Simulations of Condensation Phenomena of a Polyatomic Vapor behind a Reflected Shock Wave

2016 - 2016, The aim of this study is to construct the kinetic boundary condition for Ar-Ne binary mixture in equilibrium using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The temperature of the MD simulation system is 85 K; Ar molecules behave as condensable gas (vapor), and Ne molecules behave as non-condensable gas (gas). In this simulation, we utilize the two-boundary method improved by our previous study to investigate behaviors of Ar and Ne molecules at the interface. From the results, we can obtain the molecular mass fluxes at the interface, and evaluate the values of evaporation and condensation coefficients of Ar (vapor) and Ne (gas) molecules. - Microscopic Investigation of Boundary Condition at Vapor-liquid Interface during Unsteady Evaporation and Condensation

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 03 Dec. 2015, IOP Publishing, English
03 Dec. 2015 - 03 Dec. 2015, The ghost fluid method is improved to include heat and mass transfer across the gas-liquid interface during the bubble collapse in a compressible liquid. This transfer is due to both nonequilibrium phase transition at the interface and diffusion of the noncondensable gas across the interface. In the present method, the ghost fluids are defined with the intention of conserving the total mass, momentum, and energy, as well as the mass of each component while considering the heat and mass fluxes across the interface. The gas phase inside the bubble is a mixture of vapor and noncondensable gas, where binary diffusion between the mixture components is taken into account. The gas diffusion in the surrounding liquid is also considered. This method is applied to a simulation of a single spherical bubble collapse with heat and mass transfer across the interface in a compressible liquid. When noncondensable gas is present, it accumulates near the interface due to vapor condensation, thereby preventing further condensation. This results in a weaker bubble collapse than the case without noncondensable gas. - Numerical simulation of bubble collapse and tranfer of vapor and noncondensable gas through the bubble interface using the ghost fluid method

2015 - 2015, An accurate determination of optical properties of agricultural products is crucial for non-destructive assessment of food quality. For the determination, light intensity is measured at the surface of the product; then, inverse analysis is employed based on a light propagation model such as the radiative transfer equation (RTE). The inverse analysis requires high computational loads because the light intensity is numerically calculated using the model every time the optical properties are changed. For the calculation, we propose an efficient technique by combining a numerical solution with an analytical solution of the RTE, and investigate the validity of the technique in a two-dimensional homogeneous circular medium which is regarded as a light propagation model with optical properties of kiwifruit. The proposed technique can provide accurate results of the light intensity in change of the optical properties, and the accuracy is less dependent on the boundary conditions and source-detector angles. In addition, the technique can reduce computation time compared with that for numerical calculation of the RTE. These results indicate usefulness of the proposed technique for the inverse analysis. - Molecular dynamics simulation on evaporation molecules in a vapor-liquid equilibrium state

04 Oct. 2011 - 04 Oct. 2011, In the steam-water mixed spray-cleaning technique, droplet impact on the solid surface is the one of the primarily important physical processes. We experimentally studied a droplet impact on a solid plate that moves with a speed ranging from 1 to 50 m/s using high-speed video camera. We observed that high-speed liquid film flows radially outward along the surface just after the impact. In addition, we also observed that liquid turns into corona splash in the cases of higher impact velocities. These flows with large velocities can generate huge shear stress on the solid surface, which may contribute to cleaning. Furthermore, we numerically studied the velocity field development and found that gas flow also spreads obliquely upward. The obliquely upward flow field may also contribute in advecting removed particles or stripped resists away from the original place. - Ultrasound Beam Radiated From Circular Piston in Bubbly Liquids: Nonlinear Analysis for Envelope of Short Waves With Diffraction Effect

本研究の目的は，「高Oh液滴の固体面衝突直後に発生するcorona splashとprompt splashの発生条件を明らかにし，二つのsplashの発生メカニズムを説明する理論モデルを構築すること」である．この目的を達成するために，本年度は以下の２項目について研究を行った．
１．固体表面に滴衝する高Oh液滴の観察：自由落下するシリコンオイルを用いて衝突実験を行い，高Oh液滴のsplash発生条件を探索した．高粘度液滴衝突ではあるOhを閾値としてsplashとreceding break-upの２種類の不安定性が観察されること, 閾値Oh数以上ではreceding break-upのみが観察されさらにOh数を大きくすると不安定性が観察されないこと，receding break-upはある衝突速度以上では観察されないことを明らかにした．
２．粗い表面に衝突する液滴の観察：低圧力環境下の高速液滴衝突 (50m/s程度) 実現を行い，固体表面粗さの効果を検討するために，減圧チャンバ内での粗い固体表面への高速液滴衝突を観察した．平滑表面および粗い固体表面においてsplashの発生閾値を検討した．低Oh液滴衝突においては，これまで観察されていたcorona splashとprompt splashに加えて衝突直後極短時間にのみ観察されるsplashが存在することが発見され，これまでに提案されたsplash発生閾値モデルは，粗い表面には適用できないことを明らかにした．
３．高速度カラー光干渉計による気液界面計測システムによる観察：固体表面に衝突する液滴の固体面衝突直前に，固体表面と液滴との間に形成される薄空気膜はsplash発生に大きな影響を与える．この薄空気膜厚さの空間分布の時間変化が，固体表面電位と液体の誘電率によって大きく変化することを明らかにした．

本研究の目的は、「生体を模擬した高密度なコロイド溶液に対して、輻射（ふくしゃ）の干渉効果を組み込んだ輻射輸送モデル(輸送モデル)を新たに構築した上で、干渉効果が及ぼす光伝播への影響を明らかにすること」である。生体光イメージングや光治療において、生体内の光伝播を定量的に把握することが必要であり、光を輻射と捉えた輸送モデルが活用されている。しかし、従来の輸送モデルには、生体のような高密度な散乱媒体において重要となる干渉効果が考慮されていない。本研究では電磁波の散乱理論より干渉効果を考慮した散乱特性を計算し、輸送モデルに組み込んだ上で光強度の時間分解波形を数値計算する。また、短パルスレーザー光源による光強度計測も実施する。干渉効果が光伝播へ影響を及ぼす時空間スケールについて、散乱係数などで表される無次元数を用いて解析し、理論、数値計算、実験より体系的に明らかにする。この目的を達成するため、本年度は以下の３項目について研究を実施した。
１．光散乱特性を簡潔に記述するモデル式を開発した。モデル式により、単一散乱の寄与と干渉効果の寄与を分離して評価することに初めて成功した。
２．分担研究者の西村吾朗助教の波長可変の光計測システムを利用して、コロイド溶液（脂質エマルジョン）において、濃度20%まで21条件、720 nmから860 nmまでの6条件で光計測を実施した。光計測データを逆解析することで算出した光学特性値をモデル式より解析し、干渉効果の波長依存性を明らかにした。
３．分子動力学シミュレーションにより構造特性を計算し、干渉散乱理論に組み込んで散乱特性を計算した。粒子間の引力相互作用が散乱特性に強く影響を及ぼすことを明らかにした。

本提案研究は，混合気体に接した気液界面における気体論境界条件を構築し，様々な分野に本研究成果を展開することである．2021年度は主に以下の３つの研究を行った．
１．分子計算（分子運動論および分子動力学シミュレーション）を用いて，非平衡気液界面における気体論境界条件の構築を行った．その結果，気体論境界条件に含まれる二つの未知パラメータ（蒸発係数および凝縮係数）を決定した．本結果より，非平衡気液界面における蒸発係数と凝縮係数の値は，平衡状態および非平衡状態においてほぼ変わらないことが明らかとなった．これにより，初期液体温度などの条件にもよるが，平衡状態の蒸発係数および凝縮係数を求めておけば気体論境界条件を構築できることが示唆された．
２．分子動力学解析を用いて，固体壁と液体に挟まれた気体のクエット流れについて解析を行った．この研究より，気液界面における気体論境界条件の位置を検証した．本研究より，１の研究で指定していた気体論境界条件の位置は妥当であることが示唆された．また，高クヌーセン数流れになるほど，気液界面の境界条件が平衡状態の関数形から異なることが示唆された．これについてはさらなる検討が必要である．
３．分子動力学解析を用いて，混合液体（エタノール・イソオクタン）の蒸発について検証した．分子動力学計算を用いてエタノール・イソオクタンの気液平衡系を作り出し，１の研究で提案した方法によって，液体から蒸発する分子の成分について調べた．その結果，エタノールの濃度が低い混合液体においても，蒸発するエタノール分子の割合は高くなることが示された．今後はこの知見を用いて実験結果を整理する予定である．

Droplet impacts on solid surface are key elements in technical applications, such as rapid spray cooling, ink-jet printing and semiconductor cleaning. Although the broad varieties of parameters that control splash formation after the droplet impact, are proposed, they are not thoroughly explored; hence, dynamics of the droplet after the impact are yet fully understood. After droplet impacts on solid surface, characteristic film flow is developed; then splash may be generated. In this study, we examine the effects of the temperature of surrounding gas, which is either condensable or non-condensable, on ethanol droplet impact. We found that splash can be suppressed with the increase of the surrounding gas temperature. We measured the splash threshold pressure for a splash to appear as a function of the temperature. The results show that the splash threshold pressure is a monotonically increasing function of the surrounding gas temperature.
