The collisions between granule-granule and granule-wall generate electrostatics. The occurrence of electrostatic can be affected by a variety of factors. As the contact between the granular and the wall, the accumulation of electrostatic charge on their surfaces can reach to an equilibrium state. The present work reviewed electrostatic generation and electrostatic equilibrium in pneumatic conveying granules systems. Two main contact charging ways between granule and wall (collision electrification and friction electrification), granular flowpattern and dynamic analysis were analyzed emphatically.

All rights reserved.1.IntroductionCoherent Gradient Sensing(CGS)is double grating lateral shearing interferometric technique used extensively in various engineering applications.The technique has been operated in two primary domains,transmission and reflection.Based on these domains,the technique has been employed in thefield of exper-imental mechanics for slope and curvature measurement[1],crack tip deformation study[2,3]stressfield examination[4],etc.The technique has also been used for the measurement of residual stress in thinfilms[5].Focal length is an important optical parameter which needs to be known precisely in various optical systems.Initially clas-sical methods based on geometrical optics were used such as nodal slide,image magnification,focometer,etc.,but in recent times automated measurement using interferometric techniques has been preferably used.Various modern techniques reported for the measurement of focal length/radius of curvature are based on phenomenon of interference,diffraction,etc.Some of the tech-niques reported in this category are based on Talbot effect[6–8], Lau effect[9],digital moiréeffect[10],etc.Nakano and Murata[6]described a method based on Talbot interferometry for the measurement of focal length.They mea-sured the focal length in two ways:by measuring inclination angle of moiréfringes and by measuring the spacing between the moiréfringes.Bhattacharya and Aggarwal[7]determined the focal length∗Corresponding author.Tel.:+917312361116x7/9977186156;fax:+917312764385.E-mail address:sprakash davv@(S.Prakash).of a collimated lens using Talbot effect and moirétechniques.The defocusing of collimating lens is measured as a function of incli-nation angle of the moiréfringes.Sriram et al.[8]used dualfield grating system in Talbot interferometry for the measurement of focal length of a positive lens by placing the test lens in between the two gratings.The direct measurement of focal length of the test lens was undertaken by measuring separation between‘f’and ‘2f’planes corresponding to the test lens.The ease of detecting the exact location of these two planes has been improved based on principles of Talbot interferometry.Lei and Dang[11]reported the method based on grating shearing interferometry for the measurement of focal length of a lens.The lateral shift between the undiffracted zero order and diffractedfirst order has been mea-sured and used for the determination of focal length.Prakash et al.[9]reported the Lau based technique using incoherent light source to improve the accuracy of focal length measurement.Horner [12]used a simple method based on the observation of Fourier transform intensity pattern of a rectangular slit placed in front of the test lens.The focal length is measured in terms of separation between the zeros of the Fourier transform intensity pattern. The measurement is independent of the degree of collimation of incident beam or the principal plane of the test lens.Matsuda et al.[13]used the multiple beam shearing interferometry for the mea-surement of focal length.Xiang[14]developed retrocollimation interferometry based measurement in which focal length has been determined using Newton’s displacement ter,simple technique using diffraction characteristics of a circular Dammann grating has been used to locate the focal point of a lens[15].Lawall [16]used the spectroscopic approach in Fabry–Perot interferom-eter for the determination of radius of curvature of a concave mirror.Recently,Abdelsalam et al.[17]used the multiple beam0030-4026/$–see front matter© 2012 Elsevier GmbH.

Takeda et al.[20]used the Fourier transform method of computer based fringe pattern analysis for topography and interferometry. The method has been used to make clear distinction between ele-vation and depression of the object,even from a single non-contour type of fringe pattern.The Fourier transform method has been used for applications such as the measurement of3D surface profile[21], temperature[22],distance[23],slope[24],etc.In our previous paper[25],the CGS technique has been employed for collimation testing of an optical beam.In present communication,we report our investigation undertaken toward measurement of focal length and the radius of curvature by using CGS technique.The wavefront emerging from the optical element under test is passed through the CGS interferometer.The exact location of the focal point/center of curvature is determined by analyzing the shearing interferometric fringes generated in the CGS interferometer.Direct wavefront phase based data has been retrieved from the shearing interferometric fringes,using Fourier fringe analysis technique.The information regarding the slope of wavefront phase provides improved accuracy and precision in locating the exact focal point/radius of curvature.2.TheoryThe basic principle of coherent gradient sensing based inter-ferometer is shown in Fig.1.The expanded and collimated laser beam is incident on a pair of Ronchi gratings G1and G2having the same pitch‘p’and an arbitrary separation‘d’.Beyond the grat-ing G1emerge several diffraction orders.For simplicity,only the zeroth and thefirst orders(±1)are considered to propagate inthe Fig.2.Schematic of the experimental arrangement for measurement of focal length of the test lens using coherent gradient sensing and FTM.forward direction.The magnitude of the angle between the propa-gation directions of the zeroth and thefirst order beams is given by the diffraction equationÂ=sin−1( /p),where is the wavelength of light and p is the grating period.These beams after being inci-dent on the second grating G2,are further diffracted into orders such as E(0,0),E(+1,0),E(0,+1)and so on.These wavefronts which propagate in different directions are brought to focus at spatially separate diffraction spots at the focal plane of the lens L1.Out of these,the spot corresponding to thefirst order(E+1,0,E0,+1)is seg-regated and allowed to propagate;rest are blocked using a spatial filter placed at the back focal plane of the lens.Under this condi-tion,the interferometer acts as a shearing interferometer,bearing fringes of sinusoidal profile in the common area between the two wavefronts.The basic schematic of experimental arrangement for the mea-surement of focal length is shown in Fig.2.Expanded and collimated light from the laser is made incident onto the test lens.Beyond the test lens is placed a mirror M.Light reflected from the mirror passes through the test lens.The wavefront emerging from the lens is diverted for the purpose of testing using the beam splitter.Testing is undertaken using CGS interferometer.CGS is basically a grat-ing shearing interferometer.Corresponding to orders(E+1,0,E0,+1) propagated beyond the gratings,the original wavefront and the sheared wavefront emerge.The shearing between the test and the sheared wavefront may be varied by varying the grating separation.Toward making suitable adjustments for undertaking the mea-surement of focal length,the mirror is moved along the optic axis with respect to the test lens.Corresponding to the different positions of the mirror,the‘defocus’error gets introduced in the wavefront,if the mirror is not at exact focus of the lens.An addi-tional error‘wavefront tilt’is introduced by tilting the grating by small angle with respect to each other.The wavefront is then inci-dent on the grating shearing interferometer for testing.The output of the grating shearing interferometer yields a particular type of fringe pattern depending upon the gradient of wavefront errors in the direction of shear[26].Hence,corresponding to the type of wavefront emerging from the test lens,the orientation of the fringes appearing at the output of the interferometer is different.When the separation between the test lens and the mirror is equal to the focal length of the test lens,the wavefront emerging from the test lens is plane.Under this condition the horizontal straight line fringe pattern is obtained.For in-focus and out-focus position,the wave-front emerging out is diverging and the converging,respectively. For the converging or the diverging wavefront the fringe orienta-tion gets inclined at a positive or the negative angle with respect to the horizontal.Fig.3(a)–(c)corresponds to the fringes obtained at in-focus,at-focus and out-of-focus position of the mirror with respect to the defocusing lens(test lens),respectively.To increase the measurement accuracy in the determination of focal point of the test lens,the Fourier fringe analysis of the interferograms isJ.Dhanotia,S.Prakash/Optik124 (2013) 2115–21202117Fig.3.Fringe patterns recorded using CCD camera(a)at in-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length240mm,(b)at at-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length240mm,and(c)at out-of-focusposition of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length240mm.Fig.4.Flow chart for a Fourier transform algorithms. undertaken and direct phase˚(X,Y)of the wavefront determined. Fig.4shows the algorithm for undertaking Fourier fringe analysis. The theoretical treatment regarding the Fourier transform method has been explained in Ref.[20].The slope of the phase map pro-vides information about the type of the wavefront.The slope in case of at focus,out focus and in focus position is almost zero,pos-itive and negative respectively.The separation between the lens and the mirror is determined,to yield the focal length.Measurement of radius of curvature has also been undertaken. Fig.5shows the schematic of the experimental arrangement for the measurement of radius of curvature of the concave mirror.The measurement is based on the fact that the distance between two positions at which the incident collimated beam retraces its path after reflection from spherical test surface,is equal to its radius of curvature.The Fourier transform algorithm as mentioned above has been used for the interferogram analysis.3.Experimental detailsThe experimental setup for the measurement of focal length using coherent gradient sensing is shown in Fig.2.He–Ne laser of15mW( =632.8nm)was used as a light source.Light fromthe Fig.5.Schematic of the experimental arrangement for measurement of radius of curvature of the concave mirror using coherent gradient sensing and FTM.He–Ne Laser is spatiallyfiltered using a combination of pinhole of5m diameter and microscopic objective of magnification45×. The precision achromatic doublet lens PAC088supplied by New-port Corporation,USA,having a focal length of250mm,has been used as collimationg lens L C.In the path of collimated beam,the lens under test has been introduced.Beyond the lens is introduced a mirror M mounted on the precision translating stage(NF5DP20/M) supplied by Thorlabs Inc.,USA,to translate it along the optical axis. The reflected beam from the mirror M back-propagates through the lens.This beam is deflected using a beam splitter BS for detec-tion of the defocusing errors.Two gratings,G1and G2of period 0.08mm each,have been placed in tandem such that grating lines of two makes equal but opposite angle with respect to the ver-tical.The beam corresponding to thefirst order spot is isolated using a spatialfiltering arrangement comprising of the combina-tion of two lenses and an aperture A.Separation of various orders depends on the period of the gratings used.The shear fringes are formed due to superposition of laterally shiftedfirst order beams diffracted from gratings G1and G2.The shearing interferogram was imaged on the phase plate of CCD camera using lenses L1and L2. Aperture A is placed at the focal plane of the lens L1to allow the desired diffracted order to reach the image plane.The CCD is hav-ing1392×1040pixels with each pixel sized4.65m×4.65m. For image acquisition and display,CCD camera interfaced with the frame grabber card has been used and the results were displayed on-line onto the computer monitor.To experimentally determine the values of accuracy and pre-cision in the measurement of focal length,the plane mirror M (specimen)mounted on the translation stage is translated upscale and downscale,so that one approaches the focal position/radius of curvature in either direction.Initially,the mirror is placed nearer to the test lens.The mirror is then moved away(in+Z direction) from the test lens.As the mirror approaches the focal point of the test lens,the straight line fringes oriented at a positive angle with respect to the horizontal reference appear.This corresponds to the condition when the wavefront emerging from the lens is diverging.Fig.3(a)corresponds to the position when the wave-front is diverging.As the mirror is moved further the inclination angle of the fringes decreases and they rotate in the clockwise direction.The fringes slowly become parallel to the horizontal as the focal position is reached.Fig.3(b)corresponds to this position. For thefine setting of the focal position a series of interferograms were recorded near this position and analyzed using FFT algorithm. Fig.8(a)and(b)shows the phase plots(obtained using FFT analy-sis)of the recorded interferograms in case when the wavefronts are diverging and plane,respectively.As the mirror is further moved along the optic axis,in the direction same as above and the‘in-focus’position is approached,the wavefront emerging from the test lens becomes converging.The inclination angle of the fringes further decreases and rotates in the clockwise direction.At this position,2118J.Dhanotia,S.Prakash/Optik124 (2013) 2115–2120Fig.6.Fourier spectrum of recorded image for(a)in-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens,(b)at-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens, and(c)out-of-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens.the inclined fringes appear at a negative angle with respect to the horizontal.Figs.3(c)and8(c)corresponds to fringe pattern and the phase plot,respectively.Experiments for the measurement of radius of curvature of reflective surface has also been undertaken.In the experimental set-up of Fig.2the plane mirror has been replaced by the con-vex/concave mirror.A typical set-up for the measurement of radius of curvature of concave mirror is shown in Fig.5.Collimated beam is incident on the corrected lens C L.Beyond the converging lens the beam converges and is incident onto the concave mirror under test.As per the test procedure,the concave mirror is translated along the optic axis till it reaches the focal plane of the corrected lens.At this position,the horizontal fringe pattern is obtained at the image plane.Next,the concave mirror is translated along the optic axis(away from the corrected lens)till the horizontal fringe pattern is again obtained.Now,the series of interferograms were recorded near this position and the exact location of the center of curvature determined using the Fourier transform method.The minimum value of the slope of the phase map has been used as the criterion for the exact determination of the center of curvature of the reflecting surface.The difference between the two positions of the concave mirror,F L and D LM,as shown in Fig.5,may be treated as the correct value of radius of curvature.The similar procedure may be repeated for the convex mirror also.4.Results and discussionExperimental results verify that the measurement of focal length using coherent gradient sensing can be performed advan-tageously.For each position of the mirror the interference patterns are recorded and the images were stored in the Computer mem-ory.For the detection of exact focal length of the test lens,a series of interferogram were recorded near the focus position of the test lens.The measurements were undertaken at several positions of the test lens along the axis;however the results were presented for only three positions.Fig.4corresponds to the proposed Fourier transform algorithm used to extract the phase even from the single interferogram.The Fourier transform method involves taking FFT of the interferogram to obtain its Fourier spectra.Fig.6(a)–(c)shows the Fourier spec-tra of the recorded interferograms corresponding to Fig.3(a)–(c), respectively.In the Fourier spectra the central dot having the maxi-mum intensity shows the zero order while the dots immediately on the two sides of the central spot,show the±1order spectra.Next, thefirst order Fourier spectra was selected and shifted to the cen-ter position.The inverse Fourier transform of the centrally shifted spectra provides the necessary phase information of the recorded interferogram.Fig.7(a)–(c)shows the plot of evaluated phase map with respect to the pixel position for‘in-focus’,‘at-focus’and‘out-of-focus’position of the mirror with respect to the test lens.To obtain reliable phase map,thefield corresponding to the wrapped phase map has been scanned and2 is added or subtractedevery Fig.7.Unwrapped Phase map for a fringe pattern corresponding to(a)in-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length240mm,(b)at-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length240mm,and(c)out-of-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length240mm.time an edge is detected.The phase values so obtained are plotted against the pixel values using MATLAB toolbox.Fig.8(a)–(c)shows the two-dimensional plot of the evaluated phase map with respect to the pixel position for‘in-focus’,‘at-focus’and‘out-of-focus’posi-tion of the mirror with respect to test lens.From the results,it is quite evident that the slope of the phase map is positive for the‘in-focus’position of the mirror with respect to test lens.Plot of phase˚with respect to x domain for afixed value of y,gives a positive slope as anticipated and shown in Fig.8(a). The slope of the phase map decreases as we move toward‘at-focus’position and it approaches zero at the‘at-focus’position of the test lens.This corresponds to the exact focal position of the test lens. The plot of phase˚with respect to x domain,for thefixed value of y(plot of˚along the same row for different values of column vector)gives a straight line as anticipated and is shown in Fig.8(b). As the mirror is moved away from focal position of test lens,the slope of phase maps becomes negative.Negative slope indicates the out-focus’position of the mirror with respect to test lens.Plot of phase˚with respect to x domain for afixed value of y,hasaFig.8.Variation of phase with respect to x-axis for the fringe pattern corresponding to(a)in-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length240mm;(b)at-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length240mm; and(c)out-of-focus position of the mirror with respect to test lens of focal length 240mm.J.Dhanotia,S.Prakash/Optik124 (2013) 2115–21202119Table1Comparison of the measured values of focal lengths with the standard values of focal lengths.Also,variation of f with the focal length f for grating separation of28mm.

Singh et al.[18]reported an automated method for the focal length measurement using temporal phase shifting technique in Talbot interferometry.The authors reported the relative comparison of the accuracy achievable in various focal length measuring test pro-cedures.They correlated the focal length of a test lens with the obtained phase map and reported an accuracy of0.246%for the lens having focal length of240mm.Tay et al.[19]reported an accuracy of0.2%in focal length measurement of a50mm convex lens,using three-step phase shifting algorithm in Lau phase interferometry.The results of the measurement undertaken with the lenses of different focal lengths are shown in parison of the results obtained with those using above-mentioned techniques reveal that,we could measure the focal length more accurately using the proposed technique.To check for the precision of tech-nique,standard deviation( )has also been calculated in each case. The smaller values of standard deviation reveals that the focal point position(hence the focal length)can be determined precisely using this method.The technique has also been used to test the concave mirror of radius of curvature200mm.The relative error r/r for the measurement of radius of curvature was determined to be0.25%. Hence,the measured radius of curvature of the concave mirror shows the close agreement with the standard.The discussions regarding the error in the present system also need consideration.The errors may occur in the system due to mis-alignment of the gratings,quality of optics used,imperfections in the gratings,improper collimation of optical beam,aberrations in lens,etc.Care has been taken to minimize these errors.The pre-cision translating device may also be the cause of systematic or human error.Random error may also affect the accuracy of the sys-tem.Random errors are those remaining when all systematic and gross errors have been taken care of.These are attributed tovarious parameters that affect the system in random fashion.We have taken precautions to minimize these errors.There may be errors due to quantization errors in digitizing the data,source instabilities, and detector non-linearity.Since,it is an interferometric technique the influences of environmental factors such as extraneous vibra-tions and air turbulence have to be taken care of.5.ConclusionsThe accurate measurement of focal length and radius of cur-vature using coherent gradient sensing technique coupled with Fourier transform method has been successfully demonstrated.To check for the validity of the technique,the results of the experimen-tal investigation have been compared with the other techniques. There are some major advantages in this method.(i)The method is simple and direct.The components used areinexpensive.(ii)Method is well adoptable to be used in industrial environment because it is a common path interferometer.The automated interferogram analysis using Fourier fringe analysis involves use of single interferogram,and hence the effect of shock and vibration in measurement may be minimized.(iii)Relative to the self-imaging methods devised earlier,the errors due to in accurate grating seperation may be completely elim-inated.(iv)The profile of recorded fringe pattern in CGS is sinusoidal and devoid of grating noise as in case of Talbot/Lau based interfer-ometers.Hence,higher accuracy and precision of measurement as com-pared to other similar techniques has been reported.

processes and is based on a combination of a special surface treatment of a metal piece and an insert molding.This study employed a chemical processing as the special surface treatment to form

manufacturing fields.These dissimilar material structures are usually joined by using adhesives or mechanical joint such as bolt screws and rivets [1,2].Meanwhile,a novel technique that directly joins metal and plastic structures without such extra parts has attracted attentions recently [3].The direct joining technique has many advantages against the typical joining;for example it can reduce weight,can simplify manufactur-ing processes,and can ease designing restrictions.Some research groups,therefore,have tried to realize the direct joining by using various means.The joining means are roughly categorized into two groups by methods forming plastic structures.One is that the plastic struc-ture is formed previously and then the plastic and metal structures are joined (a separated type).The other is that the forming plas-tic structure and joining are processed simultaneously (an in-situ type).For the separated type,a plastic base and a metal base are put to contact each other and are joined by various types of local heating;for example,a laser-induced local heating [4–8],a friction spot joining [9],a friction lap welding [10],and an ultrasonic weld-ing [11].The local heating melts the plastic base or the metal base at contacted area;and then the bases are joined after cooling and∗Corresponding author.Tel.:+81354526466.E-mail address:fuminobu@iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp (F.Kimura).hardening.This type,however,has some limitations about materi-als or shape/size of the joint structures since thermal energy caused by the local heating must reach on the interface.The in-situ type that forms a plastic structure and joins it to a metal base simultaneously utilizes an injection molding with inserting a special metal piece.In this study this type method is called an injection molded direct joining (IMDJ).To join the plas-tic to the metal in a mold,a special treatment is processed on a surface of the metal piece.The proposed surface treatments have been various types;e.g.chemical coupling layer coating [12–14]or micro/nano-structure forming [15–21].Regarding the chemical coupling layer coating,a surface of a molded plastic is chemically bound with the metal via the coated layer.This type,however,has material limitation caused by affinities between the layer and the materials.By contrast,the micro/nano-structure forming type is based mainly on mechanical interlocking between the surface structures and the molded plastic.The proposed forming methods use abrasive blasting [15,16],laser processing [17–19]and chemi-cal processing [20,21].In comparison with chemical coupling layer coating type,the micro/nano-structure forming type has few limi-tations since the base materials are joined structurally.The IMDJ using micro/nano-structure forming has not been well applied to real industries because of some remaining chal-lenges;nevertheless the IMDJ is a quite promising process.The challenges for industrial applications are as follows:(i)Actual join-ing mechanism has not been revealed.(ii)Relationships between processing conditions and product characteristics have not been investigated enough.(iii)The processing conditions have not

tests,analyses,and observations of boundaries for each joining sample processed under various conditions.Some pre-vious studies[15–18,20]have investigated effects of the processing conditions.However the investigations have been rarely conducted in the case that size of surface structures of the metal piece is nanometer scale.This study investigated the effects of molding conditions on strength of the IMDJ samples,of which metal pieces had surface nano-structures.Although there are many controllable molding conditions,target conditions of this work were mold cavity pres-sure and injection speed.We formed the nano-structures on the metal piece by a chemical processing.Then we produced IMDJ sam-ples,of which shape is a single lap joint geometry,to measure shear strength of joining by a tensile shear test.From measured strength, we discussed effects of molding conditions.2.Experimental procedure2.1.Joining processFig.1shows an overview of the production process.The IMDJ process is composed of two key processes:(a)a surface treatment of a metal piece and(b)an insert injection molding using the surface-treated metal bination of these processes enables the direct joining of metal and plastic structures.Details of each process and processing conditions used in this work are described in the following.2.1.1.Surface treatmentSome means of surface treatments have been proposed for the IMDJ[15–21].Since it is difficult to form the surface struc-tures in nanometer scale by using abrasive blasting[15,16]or laser processing[17–19],we utilized a chemical processing.We applied one of the chemical processing(Nano Molding Technology,Tai-seiplas[21])to the forming of nano-structures on surfaces of A5052 aluminum alloy pieces for the joining experiments.Fig.2shows an image of a surface of the treated metal(30◦tilted view)taken by a scanning electron microscope(SEM).From the SEM image,we can see a porous structure with pore diameters of approximately20nm.The structure consisted of not a simple array of(vertical)holes but a three-dimensionally foam network such as a sponge foam.The aluminum alloy pieces were treated under the same condition for whole joining experiments sincewe Fig.2.SEM image of a surface treated metal piece(30◦tilt).Porous structures were formed on the metal surface.The size of each pore was approximately20nm.focused on only the effects of molding conditions but not on the effects of surface structures in this study.2.1.2.MoldingIn this study,we utilized a commercial injection molding machine(ROBOSHOT˛-100iA Linear,FANUC)and an original mold. Fig.3shows a shape of the mold(cavity)for a single-lap joint sam-ple.The size of the main cavity(plastic body)and of the metal insert were10mm×50mm×3mm and18mm×l metal×1.5mm (width×length×thickness),respectively.The length of the metal insert,l metal,is selectable from two sizes:45mm(short type)or 50mm(long type).Along with the selection,length of overlap between the plastic body and the metal piece was changed as 5mm or10mm,and thus the joint area was5mm×10mm or 10mm×10mm,respectively.However strength of the IMDJ sam-ple processed by the long type mold was too large to be evaluated because of too large joint area,which is twice as large as the short type.We,then,used only the short type for the evaluation and analyses.The detail of the evaluation problem is given in Section3.1.A unique point of this mold is that a pressure sensor(6158A, Kistler Japan)and a temperature sensor(EPSSZT-04.0×030,Futaba Corporation)were installed to monitor cavity states.To estimate the pressure on the boundary surface,the pressure sensor was located near the joint area as shown in Fig.3.This is because the pressure on the boundary surface would be one of the most effective factors for plastic replication to the nano-structures and resultant joining strength.The melted plastic wouldflow into the nano-structures more easily under higher pressure on the bound-ary surface.By monitoring the cavity states with the sensors,we controlled the molding conditions.Process states of one cycle of the injection molding are as fol-lows[22];(I)queueing,(II)packing,(III)holding,(IV)cooling,and (V)ejecting.We can know the state during the molding by the cavity monitoring(especially monitoring pressure behavior).Fig.4 shows an example of time-course measurements of cavity pressure (upper)and temperature(lower).Pressure variations represent the molding states I to IV as shown in Fig.4.At the packing state(state II),the pressure rises rapidly,reaches a peak point,and sinks down rapidly as well.Then the cavity state changes to the holding state (state III),where the pressure keeps approximately steady value. Finally,the pressure decreases gradually since the plastic cools and hardens at the cooling state(state IV).The peak value at the state II and the steady value at the state III of the pressure are pack pres-sure,P p,and holding pressure,P h,respectively(Fig.4).These two types of the pressure values are the investigation objects of this study.Methods of controlling the pressure values are given in the following paragraphs.Table1shows molding conditions.Among them,this study focused on the pack pressure,P p,the holding pressure,P h,and theF.Kimura et al./Precision Engineering45(2016)203–208205Fig.3.Top and front-view of the mold used for the IMDJ process and isometric-view of a sample.A pressure sensor and a temperature sensor were installed on the mold tomonitor states.A surface treated metal piece is inserted into the insert cavity and a melted plasticflows in the maincavity.Fig.4.Example of cavity pressure and temperature monitoring.From the pressure behavior,we can see the state of injection molding.The peek pressure in the state II and the steady pressure in the state III are pack pressure,P p,and holding pressure, P h,respectively.injection speed,v.We investigated how the variations of these three condition parameters affected on the joining strength.Although most of the condition parameters can be adjusted on the injection molding machine,the pack pressure cannot be controlled directly. The molding machine can control injection force/pressure on a injection screw(an actuator of an injection unit).The injection force is,however,not always proportional to the cavity pressure because of viscosity of the melted plastic material.Therefore,dynamic cav-ity pressure,which is the varying pressure at state II,cannot be controlled without any feedbacks.On the other hand,(quasi-)staticTable1Molding conditions.Pack pressure P p MPa Injection speed v mm/s Holding pressure P h MPa Diameter of cylinder20mm Holding time length8s Temperature of mold140◦C Temperature of cylinder270/275/265/245/10/75◦C pressure,which is the pressure at state III,is controllable since it is not affected by the viscosity.The pack pressure(dynamic cavity pressure)was controlled to be approximately equal to a desired value by monitoring cavity state and giving the feedbacks of the monitored data manually. Based on the monitored pressure,we adjusted an amount of injec-tion volume,which could affect the pack pressure:if the injection volume is larger than a proper value,the pack pressure becomes higher,and vice versa.We used two groups of parameter combinations,G1and G2, as shown in Table2.For G1,the injection speed wasfixed as: v=300mm/s,and the pack pressure and the holding pressure was varied as:P p=60,90,and120MPa,P h=20,40,and60MPa.Thus, there were totally nine combinations of the molding conditions (=3×3).On the other hand,the both pressure conditions werefixed in G2as:P p=60MPa and P h=40MPa,but the injections speed was varied as:v=150,300,and600mm/s.These condition values were in the suitable ranges for practical use of the employed injection molding machine and mold.Note that the number of the IMDJ sam-ples for G1and G2are seven and ten,respectively(G1:n=7.G2: n=10).As a plastic material for the molding experiments,we utilized polybutylene terephthalate(PBT:Toraycon®1101G-X54,Toray) that contains glassfibers of30wt%.According to[16],thefiber-reinforced plastic is suitable for the IMDJ.We,therefore,selected this grade of PBT materials.The pelletized raw PBT materials wereTable2Values of varied condition parameters.The combinations of the parameters were divided into two groups,G1and G2.P p MPa P h MPa v

molding experiments,the samples were annealed for four hours at 130◦C to relieve residual stresses.Additionally,we removed extra parts of the sample such as a sprue and a runner parts to complete a single lap joint.2.2.Evaluation of joining strengthTo evaluate the IMDJ samples,we carried out tensile tests.The test measured tensile-shear strengths of the single lap joint sam-ples.Fig.5shows a photo image and a schematic illustration of the samples and grippers of a tensile test machine (AG-50kNG,SHI-MADZU).To apply shear load on the boundary of the single lap joint geometry,we aligned the center of the grippers on the boundary of the joining sample by gripping the sample with spacers.Lengths of both gripped ends and initial distance between grippers were 15mm and 60mm,respectively.The test machine applied strain to the sample with constant speed of 1mm/min.until the sample was broken.During the test,the test machine measured displace-ment of the grippers and load applied to the grippers.Fig.6shows an example of time-course measurements during the tensiletests.Fig.6.Example of time-course measurements of applied load and displacement by tensile test machine.The maximum load was recorded as the (shear)strength ofjoining.Fig.7.Photo image of the completed IMDJ sample molded by the short type mold (a)and the long type mold (b).By the tensile shear tests,the samples (a)were broken at boundary surface (a ),but some of the sample (b)were broken at the base material (b ).We recorded maximum load as the strength of the joining.Note that the samples were stored in a desiccator under an environment of approximately 24◦C and 40%RH for over twenty four hours before the tests.3.Results and discussion3.1.Measurement results and analysisInjection molded plastics were successfully joined to metal pieces under all molding conditions.Fig.7shows the completed IMDJ samples:(a)by the short type mold,(b)by the long type mold.There was no significant difference of appearance between the samples molded under each condition.Some problems,how-ever,occurred in pilot tensile tests.By some pilot tests for the samples processed by the long type mold,some base materials of the plastic parts were broken instead of the boundary surfaces of the joints (Fig.7(b )).In the case that the base material was bro-ken,we could not measure the correct strength of the joining.We,thus,used only the samples processed by the short type mold.All the samples processed by the short type mold were broken at the boundary surfaces (Fig.7(a )),and thus the correct strength could be measured.Fig.8shows measured strength for the sample processed under G1conditions group (varying pressure condition).In this figure,the holding pressure is the target value,which was set in the mold-ing machine.On the other hand,the pack pressure is the measured value,not the target value.The markers and the error bars are mean values and standard deviations,respectively.The plotted data in both graphs are in common but the different plotting manner.By outlier analyses,we excepted two outlier values in the two data sets obtained from (P p ,P h )=(60,60)and (90,40).Thus,in these two data sets,the numbers of samples were six (n =6).The numbers of samples of other data sets that have no outlier were seven (n =7).Although we used only three points of pressure ranges for each investigation,we could see tendencies that the strength slightly increased with the higher pressure conditions.Given that the pres-sure ranges were suitable for the practical use of the setups,we can say these investigations were enough to understand the effects of the pressures.Fig.9shows measured strength against injection speed (results for G2conditions).The markers and the error bars represent mean values and standard deviations,respectively.There was no outlierF.Kimura et al./Precision Engineering 45(2016)203–208207Fig.8.Measured strength against holding pressure,P h (a)and pack pressure,P

.The markers and the error bars represent mean values and standard deviations.The strength significantly decrease with the higher injection speed.in this case.For the injection speed,the strength decreased with the higher speed.The variation of the strength caused by the variation of the injection speed was much higher than by the cavity pressure variation.To analyze effects of each variable parameter,P h ,P p ,and v on the strength,we calculated coefficients of correlation,r ,in each case.The calculation was done by using following equation.r =(x i −x )(y i −y )(x i −x )2(y i −y )2(1)where y i is each value of the strength and x i is the value of each variable parameter corresponding to y i .The values x and y are aver-age values of x i and y i ,respectively.The calculated coefficients are shown in Table 3.From the coefficients,we can see that the holding and pack pressures had positive correlations (r :0.1–0.7).This is in agreement with the plots shown in Fig.8.On the other hand,the coefficient for the injection speed was negative,which is also valid with the plot shown in Fig.9.In comparison with the pressures,the injection speed had a significant correlation;the coefficients of the pressures were small positive (r :0.1–0.5),except P h in the case ofTable 3Calculated coefficients of correlation.Effect ofCaserP p =60,v =3000.358P hP p =90,v =3000.763P p =120,v

injection speed is the most effective of those conditions.3.2.DiscussionIn this section,we discuss the effects of each molding condition,the cavity pressure and the injection speed,separately.First,we focus on that the strong joining was obtained under high pressure conditions.This relationship between the pressure and the strength has been pointed out by the similar study [17],though the study has subjected micro -structures.The difference from the previous study was that the size of surface structures of the metal pieces was nanometer scale;size of each pore was approximately 20nm (see Fig.2).During the molding,the melted plastic flows into the nano-structures of the metal surface to replicate the structures.We assumed that the replication ratio can be higher under the higher pressure conditions (assumption 1).Next,we discuss the effect of the variation of the injection speed by comparison with the previous studies dealing with the IMDJ pro-cess.In the study [15],the authors have reported that the injection speed has no significant effect on the strength;nevertheless we can see a small positive correlation from their data.In addition,the other paper [17]has shown that the injection speed has a large positive correlation with the strength.These results are completely opposite to our result that shows a strong negative correlation between the speed and the strength.Since the melted plastic behaves as liquid,the plastic has viscous resistance while flowing in the cavity.In the case of high viscous resistance,it is difficult for the melted plastic to deform and flow into the surface structures.In consideration of a simple damping model,the viscous resistance is proportional to speed and viscosity.Therefore,the replication ratio of plastic and the resultant strength would be low under high injection speed condition.This viscous resistance effect can occur in not only our case but also the case of the previous studies [15,17].The major difference between our study and others is the size of the surface structures.The metal used in this study had nanometer scale structures,whereas the previous studies used micrometer scale.We assumed that the effect of the viscous resistance should be dominant when the size of surface structures is smaller than a certain size (assumption 2).In this study,we proposed two assumptions about the effects of the cavity pressure and the injection speed.The assumption for the effect of the injection speed was especially unique in the case that the surface structures of the metal piece were nanometer scale.One of our future approaches to confirm the assumptions is to inves-tigate replication ratio by cross-sectional observations/analyses of joining boundaries of the samples processed under various conditions.208 F.Kimura et al./Precision Engineering45(2016)203–2084.ConclusionThis paper presented the metal-plastic direct joining by two basic processes:a surface treatment forming nano-structures and an insert injection molding.We experimentally investigated effects of molding conditions on the joining strength.Here,we summarize thefindings of this study as listed below:•The joining strength had positive correlations with both cavity pressure conditions:the pack pressure and the holding pressure.•The joining strength had a negative correlation with the injection speed.•The effect of the injection speed was much higher than the one of the cavity pressures.The second is especially quite newfinding that has not been reported in the previous studies.We regarded that this is the unique phenomenon for the IMDJ using nano-structures.Additionally,we proposed assumptions that explain the effects of the molding con-ditions on the joining strength from the viewpoint of replication ratio.The replication ratio would be high under high cavity pres-sure condition and be low under high injection speed because of viscous resistance.For future work,we will confirm the assumptions by obser-vations and analyses of joining boundaries.In addition,we will investigate the effects of other conditions,which are surface treatment conditions as well as other

CONSTITUTION:When the rotation of a screw 32 is stopped and at the same time the screw is retreated in non-rotated state by a distance larger than 'suck back' at the completion of metering, vacuum is produced in a heating cylinder 31 and molten resin A is stored on a screw 32 side under the state that empty space is left at the tip of the heating cylinder 31 and the volatile content and water content are evaporated and separated from the molten resin. After a molded item is removed from a mold, a movable mold 39 is advanced to close the mold and a B-nozzle is brought into touch with a fixed mold 38 by advancing the heating cylinder 31. Under the state just mentioned above, the interior of the heating cylinder 31 and a cavity 40 are evacuated through a vent port 37. In succession, both the nozzles 33 and 36 are brought into close contact with each other by advancing the heating cylinder 31 in order to start an injection process. Accordingly, resin with high hygroscopicity can bemolded without predrying by using the standard non-vent injection molder and, in addition, vacuum forming can be made possible with an ordinary mold.申请人:TOSHIBA MACH CO LTD更多信息请下载全文后查看。

Dynamics of the liquid phase and the bubbles are both investigated.

Basée sur l’imagerie par rayons X, cette technique permet d’obtenir simultanément et instantanément la dynamique des deux phases respectives (liquide et vapeur) ainsi que le taux de vide dans l’écoulement. Les expériences ont été conduites au synchrotron de l’APS (Illinois-USA). Le banc d’essais consiste en une boucle hydraulique transportable comportant un venturi millimétrique dans lequel une poche de cavitation est créée. Des particules radio-opaques sont utilisées comme traceurs dans le liquide. L’utilisation de cette technique pour de tels écoulements comporte un avantage considérable par rapport aux techniques classiques car elle permet de résoudre les problèmes de réflexion et de dispersion de la lumière sur les différentes interfaces. Les images obtenues contiennent à la fois les particules et les bulles et nécessite un traitement avant de calculer les champs de vitesses des deux phases et les vitesses de glissements entre ces dernières.Key words: cavitation, two-phase flow, X-ray imaging, PIV measurements 1 IntroductionCavitation in rotating machinery leads to considerable difficulties in both design and maintenance operations. Indeed, it is associated with performance drop, blade erosion, vibrations that may lead to damage, and noise due to vapour collapse close to the solid walls. Therefore, a general understanding of the physics that governs flow vaporisation and condensation is required to remove or at least to reduce these effects. A special attention is paid to the mechanisms of generation of instabilities involved in cavitating flows. The understanding of the flow dynamics and structure is of prime importance for the understanding and the control of such mechanisms. However, velocity measurements within cavitating flows encounter strong difficulties. Only a few results have thus been obtained nowadays, although such experiments may be decisive for the physical modelling of cavitation. Let us briefly recall the double optical probe measurements performed in the LEGI laboratory (France) by Stutz and Reboud [12], which have enabled the measurement of time-averaged and phase-averaged velocities in the main flow direction, with an uncertainty close to 20%. PIV measurements have also been performed in USA by the teams of J. Katz [7] and R. Arndt [14] in the wake of sheet cavities, and more recently in Germany by Dular et al. [3, 4]. In this last study, nice results have been obtained by using a Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) technique coupled with measurements very 121ème Congrès Français de MécaniqueBordeaux, 26 au 30 août 2013close to one vertical side wall of the test section. This position of the laser light sheet is imposed by the opacity of the sheet cavity when the void fraction is higher than 10 or 20%, which makes hazardous the detection of the particles with a camera located outside from the test section. In the present study, this issue was addressed with an original technique based on ultra fast X-ray imaging, in collaboration with the LIST laboratory of CEA (French Atomic Commission). High-frequency measurements of the local volume fraction of vapour were already performed a few years ago [2] in the scope of such collaboration. The present work consists of an extension of this method to the measurement of the velocities in the gaseous and liquid phases. Ultra fast X-ray imaging has been applied to situations of cavitating flows on a 2D Venturi type section. The flow is seeded with radio-opaque particles that can be detected by X-ray absorption and/or phase contrast enhancement. The vapour bubbles are detected also by this second method. So, such technique enables to obtain by image processing derived from PIV analysis i) the liquid velocity field (from the motion of the particles), ii) the vapour velocity field (from the motion of the bubbles), and the distribution of the vapour volume fraction (from the difference of X-ray absorption in gas and liquid, see [2]). The present paper focuses on the experimental setup and the process of image analysis. Both the hydraulic test rig and the X-ray fast imaging device are presented, several techniques of image analysis are discussed, and first results are presented. Note that this work has been performed in the scope of an original collaboration between researchers in fluid mechanics from LML laboratory and Ljubljana Univ., and specialists of X-ray imaging from the CEA-LIST and the APS of the Argonne National Laboratory.2Experimental set-upMeasurements are based on the X-ray absorption technique presented previously by Coutier-Delgosha et al. [2]. Basically, an X-ray source is located on one side of the test section, and a detector on the other side. Radio-opaque particle are injected in the flow. Each time a particle crosses the X-ray beam, local absorption is increased, so intensity received by the detector decreases. To detect this phenomenon, a detector with high spatial resolution must be used. It is composed here of the X-ray sensor, a crystal that converts X-ray into visible light, and a high speed camera that record this information. To detect very small particles that move very fast (the order of magnitude of the velocity is 10 m/s), the X-ray beam must be of very high intensity. Feasibility studies have shown that no portable X-ray source available at the CEA was appropriate, so the APS (Advanced Photon Source) of the Argonne National Laboratory (USA) was used.2.1 Hydraulic test rigUsing the APS beam has resulted in severe requirements for the hydraulic experimental setup that generates the studied 2D sheet cavity. First of all, the whole installation should be portable in order to travel by plane, and also the test section should be designed with small dimensions, since all material and water thickness crossed by the beam must be reduced as much as possible to ensure a satisfactory ratio signal/noise. A small size test rig has thus been realized. Cavitation is obtained downstream from a 2D Venturi profile which shape is identical to the one used previously by Stutz and Reboud [11]. Its definition can be found in Coutier-Delgosha et al. [1]. It is characterized by an 18° convergence angle and an 8° divergence one.2.2 Design of the test sectionThe test section, which is about 30 cm long, is composed of several parts manufactured in Plexiglas. As it can be seen in FIG. 1, the main part (in blue), and the upper part (in brown) forms the top of the test section. Supplementary inserts (in pink) on the vertical and bottom faces of the main part constitute the side walls and the floor (Convergent/divergent) of the test section, respectively, in the cavitation area. Indeed, to reduce as much as possible the Plexiglas width crossed by the X-ray beam, a 0.5 mm thickness is applied (see FIG. 1). Moreover, the water width is l = 4 mm only, and the height of the test section maximum 5 mm. Thus, two passages for the X-ray beam are available: a horizontal one and a vertical one. This enables to obtain side views and top views of the sheet cavity.FIG.1 – Test section 221ème Congrès Français de MécaniqueBordeaux, 26 au 30 août 20132.3 X-ray imagingX-ray techniques available at the APS of the Argonne Synchrotron have been applied previously to the measurement of velocities in low-speed flows, which requires low frequency acquisition only [9]. Observations of rapid liquid flows in micro-channels have been also conducted recently by Vabre et al. [13]. The challenge of the present work is to perform velocity measurements in configurations of high speed cavitating flows, with velocity varying between 10 and 20 m/s. For that purpose, high frequency data acquisition is necessary, in order to detect the sheet cavity fluctuations. The maximal energy during experiments was 30 keV white beam, and average 13 keV. The x-ray beam size was approximately 1.7 x 1.3 mm2, and the total number of incident photons on the sample was about 1012 ph/s. The source-to-sample distance was about 60 m, and the sample-to-detector distance was about 50 cm. A 400 µm thick CdWO4 crystal was used to convert X-rays to visible light. The image was magnified using a microscope lens (x5) and recorded with a high-speed camera APX-RS Photron. A 10000 fps frequency was applied, which enables a resolution of 512x512 pixels where the pixel size is 3.7 µm. The beam is equipped with two shutters: i) a slow one (1Hz) opened 30 ms every second, which limits the dose delivered to the sample and the detector, ii) a fast one, which drives time-resolved experiments [8]. The main issue related to ultra-fast acquisition is synchronization of the X-ray flashes, the opening of the fast shutter, and the camera frames, in order to obtain appropriate pairs of images for PIV analysis. Two X-ray flashes are separated by 3.6 µs, and their duration is 500 ns.FIG.2 – X-Ray imaging experiment2.4 Radio-opaque particlesRadio-opaque particles are used as tracers for the liquid phase, in association with a multi-pixels sensor to record the successive positions of the particles. Then, nearly standard PIV treatments are applied to derive the velocity fields from the positions of the tracers. The use of X-rays instead of light solves the problem of light reflection and dispersion on phase boundaries, since X-rays penetrate a gas/liquid flow in straight lines. For the vapour phase, a similar image processing is performed, but it applies on bubble interfaces, not on tracers. Silver coated hollow glass spheres of diameter 17 µm were found to be appropriate. Images contain simultaneously the information related to the particles (for PIV analysis in the liquid), to the vapour bubbles (for PIV in the gas). Several successive acquisitions at different positions are necessary to obtain the complete X-ray image of the whole sheet cavity. For that purpose, the test section is moved in front of the Xray beam.3. PIV analysisImages acquired by X-ray imaging are processed to obtain the velocity field in the liquid and vapour phases. For both cases, a PIV treatment based on cross correlation of successive images obtained from two consecutive X-ray flashes is applied. However, both particles and bubbles are visualized on the images, as can be seen for example in FIG. 3. Complex image processing is thus required to eliminate bubbles (to obtain liquid velocities) or particles (for vapour velocities).FIG. 3- Image processing for PIV in the liquid 321ème Congrès Français de MécaniqueBordeaux, 26 au 30 août 20133.1 PIV in liquid phaseFigure 4 and 5 show the successive treatments applied to the initial recorded image to obtain the image of particles that enables to perform PIV in the liquid phase : i) image crop and several brightness homogenizations, ii) multi-parameter interface and vapour detection for suppression of bubbles, iii) background suppression. The process of bubbles elimination is described in a previous paper [10]FIG. 4- Image processing for PIV in the liquidFIG. 5- (a) before detection, (b) interface detection (pixels coloured in black), (c) vapour detection (pixels in white), (d) final image of particles3.2 PIV in the vapour phaseFor vapour phase treatment, particle images obtained for PIV in liquid phase are used. In fact, the previous treatment enables to localise the particles in each images. Thus, they could be deleted from the initial images. These particles are then replaced by the average of the local grey level intensity.FIG. 6- (a) Initial image, (b) particle detection, (c) image of bubbles only4. ResultsThe reference hydraulic conditions in the experiments were set to a temperature T = 20°C, a mass flow rate Q = 10 l/min, and a mean sheet cavity size Lcav = 9-10 mm. Other values of mass flow rate, sheet cavity length and temperature have been investigated, but the discussion in the present paper will focus on the reference conditions only. Image processing detailed in the previous section has been applied to obtain the velocity fields in the liquid phase and in the vapour phase. At reference flow conditions, images were recorded for seven contiguous positions of the test section in front of the X-ray beam, in order to scan the whole sheet cavity. Position 1 corresponds to the upstream end of the cavitation area, at the Venturi throat, while position 7 is located at the rear part of the sheet cavity (see examples of positions 1 and 2 in FIG. 3). The sheet cavity on the considered Venturi was systematically unsteady in the experiments performed in the past at large scale [14]: periodical fluctuations of the cavity including large scale vapour cloud shedding was obtained. The major role played by the re-entrant jet mechanism in such behaviour was demonstrated in the last two decades by many authors: when this jet reaches the cavitation sheet interface, the cavity breaks off and its downstream part is convected by the main flow until it collapses. This process, initially evocated by Furness and Hutton [6], was later confirmed by measurements performed with electrical impedance probes [11] and double optical probes [13, 14]. These experiments have clearly shown that the periodic cycle of the cavity is strongly correlated with the progression of the re-entrant jet. However, in the present case such behaviour is not obtained: only small scale fluctuations of the cavity length are observed, without any shedding. This has been suggested first by FFT performed on the signals of pressure sensors located downstream from the sheet cavity, and confirmed by the visualization of high speed videos. The reason for this flow stabilization at small scale has been analyzed in detail [5], and it has been found that the small height of the test section is the most influent parameter: reducing drastically the height down to a few millimetres leads to a strong modification of the shedding process: vapour cloud detachment 421ème Congrès Français rançais de MécaniqueBordeaux, 26 au 30 août 2013is completely stopped if width of the test section is also very small (which is the case in the present experiments), while partial intermittent shedding is still obtained if the width is increased. increa Such behaviour was attributed to the inability of the reverse flow to turn upward, cut the cavity and provoke its partial detachment. The small height induces a premature stop of the re-entrant re entrant jet progression, leading to more or less pronounced low frequency requency oscillations of the attached cavity, without any shedding. Despite this flow stabilization, an intermittent reverse flow is still obtained, as can be seen in FIG. - 7, which shows the mean velocity fields in the liquid phase for positions 1 to 7. For a better understanding, FIG. – 8 presents a zoom of the results at positions 1 and 3 only, with instantaneous X-ray ray images in the background.FIG. 7 - Mean velocity fieldsFIG. 8 - Mean velocity veloc fields: zoom on positions 1 and 3 Very low velocities are obtained in the bottom part of the sheet cavity. Time-averaged Time averaged values are even slightly negative, as can be seen in FIG. – 9 for two velocity profiles. This result, which is qualitatively similar to the data obtained previously at large scale in the vapour phase [12], ], demonstrates the occurrence of intermittent reverse flow in this area. Note also the increase of velocity at the top of the sheet cavity, where a liquid flow and intermittent vapour bubbles coexist. This phenomenon may be related to the local friction between the sheet cavity area and the main liquid flow. Similar results are obtained in the vapour phase, as can be seen in FIG. – 10 at positions 1 and 2. Comparison between both velocity fields enable to obtain the slip velocity, i.e. the local mean velocity difference between liquid and vapour.FIG. 9 - Time-averaged averaged velocity profilesFIG. 10 - Time averaged velocity fields of vapourFIG. – 11 shows time-averaged averaged velocity profiles in both phases at the middle middle of positions 1 to 7. Differences between liquid and vapour are obtained in all positions, especially in positions 5 and 6 where these differences are more important. Liquid iquid velocity is higher that the vapour one in all position. Hence, the two phases behave differently inside a sheet cavity. This phenomenon means that bubbles are not perfectly carried out by the main stream in the wake of the sheet cavity, which was expected. However, note that the slip velocity is of the same order of magnitude than the vapour velocity. Moreover, only time-averaged time results are given here: the amplitude of the instantaneous slip velocity is much higher, and sometime very close to the liquid velocity. It shows that neglecting this effect in numerical modelling may be very prejudicial for the correct determination determina of the dynamics of the vapour structures.FIG. 11 - Time averaged velocity profiles in liquid (red) and vapour (blue) phases 521ème Congrès Français de MécaniqueBordeaux, 26 au 30 août 2013Different tests of validation have been carried out. They all show that the errors in both phases are very small (less than one pixel) and are much lower than the observed differences between the two phases.5. ConclusionIn this paper, an original experiment based on X-ray imaging has been presented. The objective is the simultaneous determination of the liquid and vapour velocities in a cavitating flow. Only conditions of small scale fluctuations of a 2D sheet cavity, without vapour shedding, were considered here. Images of radioopaque particles and vapour bubbles have been recorded at high frequency, and post-processing has enabled to obtain images of particles only or bubbles only, for the purpose of PIV treatment. Velocity fields have been obtained at reference flow condition in both phases, which enables to determine the slip velocity between phases. Significant magnitude of time-averaged slip velocity has been obtained in the sheet cavity wake and in the area of re-entrant jet inception, which suggests that this phenomenon should be included in numerical simulations.AcknowledgmentsThe PhD of I.
