Accurate measurement of particle velocity using a double disc anemometer in erosive wear experiments
Accurately characterizing abrasive particle velocity ejected from a nozzle in a pressurized airflow is crucial for solid particle erosion quantification, abrasive jet micromachining, and abrasive slurry micro-jet experiments. A double-disc anemometer (DDA) is an economical particle velocity measurement apparatus which is cost effective to implement. The DDA method determines particle velocity using the time it takes for particles to travel a known distance between two rotating discs mounted on the same shaft. Since 1975, the DDA has been used to measure solid particle velocities in gas-particulate flow streams. Particle velocity measurement using a DDA is an intricate process, which the experimental procedure lacks published standardization outlining, operation procedures, comprehensive error analysis, and post-processing advice, all required to report accurate and reliable results. This paper presents a new and improved DDA design, automated post-processing procedures, and experimental validation characterizing the flow development of 66 micron glass bead abrasive blasted with a maximum mean particle velocity of 95.3 m/s. State-of-the-art laser Doppler velocimetry equipment (LDV) was used to validate the DDA results with an agreement of −2.8 % on average. Further, this paper investigates the disc separation distance and shaft angular velocity, discussing configuration recommendations for reliable measurements, with an optimal reported uncertainty of ± 3.2 %. Finally, a novel scarring analysis method was conducted to identify the intricacies of how the instrument’s geometries affect the velocity calculation.

Accurate Measurement of Particle Velocity using a Double Disc Anemometer in Erosive Wear ExperimentsAccurately characterizing particle velocity ejected from a nozzle in erosive wear experiments is crucial for quantifying erosive wear. Methods like particle imaging velocimetry, laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) provide precise measurements, but they can be costly. An alternative approach to the above-mentioned methods, at a fraction of the cost, is a velocity measurement with a double disc anemometer (DDA). This paper presents a highly improved DDA design with automated postprocessing procedures and result verification. We report an approach and a set of guidelines that significantly enhance particle velocity measurement using a DDA accurately and economically. A new scarring analysis method was conducted to identify the intricacies of how the instrument’s geometries affect the velocity calculation. The DDA results were validated using state-of-the-art LDV equipment, with an agreement of ±2.8% on average.more » « less

Aerosol Jet Printing shows a lot of promise for the future of printable electronics. It is compatible with a wide range of materials and can be printed on nearly any type of surface features because of its 3–5 mm standoff distance from the substrate. However, nearly all materials printed require some form of post-sintering processing to reduce the electrical resistance. Many companies develop these materials, but only provide a narrow range of post processing results to demonstrate the achievable conductivity values. In this paper, a design of experiment (DOE) is presented that demonstrates a way to characterize any material for Aerosol Jet Printing during and after post sintering processing by measuring conductivity with different time and temperature values. From these results, a linear regression model can be made to develop an equation that predicts conductivity at a given time-temperature value. This paper applies this method to Clariant Ag ink and sinters silver pads in an oven. A linear regression model is successfully developed that fits the data very well. From this model, an equation is derived to predict the conductivity of the Clariant Ag ink for any time-temperature value. Although only demonstrated with an oven and one type of ink, this method of experimentation and model development can be done with any material and any post processing method.more » « less

We propose a novel solid-fluid interaction method for coupling elastic solids with impulse flow maps. Our key idea is to unify the representation of fluid and solid components as particle flow maps with different lengths and dynamics. The solid-fluid coupling is enabled by implementing two novel mechanisms: first, we developed an impulse-to-velocity transfer mechanism to unify the exchanged physical quantities; second, we devised a particle path integral mechanism to accumulate coupling forces along each flow-map trajectory. Our framework integrates these two mechanisms into an Eulerian-Lagrangian impulse fluid simulator to accommodate traditional coupling models, exemplified by the Material Point Method (MPM) and Immersed Boundary Method (IBM), within a particle flow map framework. We demonstrate our method's efficacy by simulating solid-fluid interactions exhibiting strong vortical dynamics, including various vortex shedding and interaction examples across swimming, falling, breezing, and combustion.more » « less

A<sc>bstract</sc> Jet grooming is an important strategy for analyzing relativistic particle collisions in the presence of contaminating radiation. Most jet grooming techniques introduce hard cutoffs to remove soft radiation, leading to discontinuous behavior and associated experimental and theoretical challenges. In this paper, we introduce Pileup and Infrared Radiation Annihilation (Piranha), a paradigm for continuous jet grooming that overcomes the discontinuity and infrared sensitivity of hard-cutoff grooming procedures. We motivate Piranhafrom the perspective of optimal transport and the Energy Mover’s Distance and review Apollonius Subtraction and Iterated Voronoi Subtraction as examples of Piranha-style grooming. We then introduce a new tree-based implementation of Piranha, Recursive Subtraction, with reduced computational costs. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of Recursive Subtraction in mitigating sensitivity to soft distortions from hadronization and detector effects, and additive contamination from pileup and the underlying event.more » « less
