低压磨料空气射流喷嘴磨损特性及影响因素研究

Study on wear characteristics and influencing factors of low-pressure abrasive air jet nozzle

  • 摘要: 低压磨料空气射流作为新型辅助破岩技术,在2 MPa压力下通过矩形截面喷嘴实现磨料的超声速喷射,提升破岩效率。但磨料与喷嘴内壁的碰撞磨损会影响射流稳定性及效率,为明确低压磨料空气射流中结构参数对喷嘴磨损特性的影响,采用CFD-DEM耦合方法,结合Archard Wear模型,对不同结构参数的拉瓦尔(Laval)矩形截面喷嘴内流体进行数值模拟,研究收敛段长度、喉部尺寸和扩张段长度对喷嘴磨损的影响。基于Box-Behnken试验设计方法构建二阶响应面模型,量化各结构参数对喷嘴磨损的显著性影响,并提出优化喷嘴结构设计。结果表明:矩形喷嘴的磨损主要集中于收敛段后端和扩张段前端,其中扩张段磨损区域呈U型分布;收敛段长度与最大磨损深度呈负相关,收敛段从10 mm增至30 mm时,磨损深度由1.25×10−5 mm降至2.82×10−6 mm,降幅达77.4%;喷嘴的最大磨损深度与喉部尺寸呈负相关,而随着喉部尺寸的增加,粒子最大射出速度先增大后减小;随着扩张段延长,喷嘴最大磨损深度先增大后缓慢减小,粒子最大射出速度逐渐增加;通过响应面分析可知,喷嘴的最大磨损深度对收敛段长度敏感度最高,扩张段长度对粒子最大射出速度影响最显著;优化后的喷嘴参数为收敛段30 mm、喉部3.12×10.38 mm2、扩张段157 mm,较标准喷嘴磨损深度降低68.87%,磨料粒子射出最大速度提升5.83%,实现了低磨损与高效率的平衡。研究为提升Laval矩形截面喷嘴寿命提供了理论支持。

     

    Abstract: In the low-pressure abrasive air jetting, as a novel assisted rock-breaking technology, supersonic abrasive ejection is achieved at 2 MPa through a rectangular cross-section nozzle to improve efficiency. The stability and efficiency of the jet are affected by the impact and wear caused by the abrasive colliding with the inner wall of the nozzle. To clarify the influence of structural parameters on the wear characteristics of nozzles in low-pressure abrasive air jetting, nozzle wear behavior was investigated by numerical simulation of fluid flow in nozzles using a coupled CFD-DEM method integrated with the Archard wear model. The impact of converging section length, throat size, and diverging section length on nozzle wear was examined. A second-order response surface model was established to quantify the significance of the effects of structural parameters on nozzle wear by the Box–Behnken experimental design method. An optimized nozzle structural design was proposed. The results show that the wear of the rectangular nozzle is primarily concentrated on the rear part of the convergence section and the front part of the expansion section, with the wear area in the expansion section exhibiting a U-shaped distribution. A negative correlation was observed between the length of the converging section and the maximum wear depth of the nozzle. When the length of the convergence section increases from 10 mm to 30 mm, the wear depth decreases from 1.25×10−5 mm to 2.82×10−6 mm, a decrease of 77.4%. A negative correlation was also identified between the maximum wear depth of the nozzle and the throat size, whereas the maximum particle ejection velocity was affected by the throat size, exhibiting an initial increase followed by a decrease. The maximum wear depth of the nozzle was influenced by the length of the diverging section, showing an initial increase followed by a gradual decrease, while the maximum particle ejection velocity was increased under the influence of the diverging section length. The optimized nozzle parameters are 30 mm for the convergence section, 3.12×10.38 mm2 for the throat and 157 mm for the expansion section, which is 68.87% lower than the standard nozzle wear depth and 5.83% higher than the maximum speed of abrasive particle ejection, achieving a balance between low wear and high efficiency. This study provides theoretical support for improving the life of Laval rectangular section nozzles.
