Dynamics of thermophysical parameters of silver ablation jets at atmospheric pressure
Abstract
The paper demonstrates an approach to modeling the thermophysical parameters of vapor in an ablative silver jet propagating at atmospheric pressure. The proposed semi-empirical model is based on the modification of the Anisimov – Luk’yanchuk model taking into account the Zeldovich – Raiser dynamic condensation theory. Such process of dynamic condensation of spherical (or semi-spherical) ablative jets can also be graphically represented as passing in the expanding vapor-plasma cloud of the three spatial concentric spherical waves from the periphery to the center of cloud. There are «saturation» wave (corresponding to the moment of crossing the Poisson adiabate with saturation adiabate at the phase diagram of vapor), wave of nuclear «etching» (the moment of greatest supercooling of vapor in the jet) and the «quenching» wave (stabilization of the condensation degree of the vapor in the jet). Due to the revision of a number of basements of the Anisimov – Luk’yanchuk model, it was possible to offer an adequate description of thermodynamic processes occurring at normal atmospheric gas pressure.
