Abstract
<jats:p>Приведены результаты теоретического и экспериментального исследования процесса разделения устойчивых по гомогенности эмульсий по волновой технологии. Использовалось совместное влияние трех волновых эффектов для интенсификации процесса разделения стабильных эмульсий, а именно: эффекта волновой коалесценции, эффекта волновой ламинаризации и эффекта увеличения гравитационных сил за счет дополнительного воздействия на многофазную среду волновых полей. Показано наличие существенного влияния на процесс разделения устойчивых эмульсий при применении волновых технологий</jats:p> <jats:p>Recent theoretical research at the Scientific Center for Nonlinear Wave Mechanics and Technology (SC NWMT RAS) has revealed the potential of using specific wave effects in multiphase media to significantly intensify the separation of various low-, medium-, and high-viscosity liquids from mechanical impurities and gas inclusions. This study investigates the application of nonlinear wave mechanics principles to overcome the common drawbacks of conventional separators, such as high energy consumption, low productivity, and complex design. The proposed method utilizes a synergistic combination of three key wave effects: wave coalescence, wave laminarization, and the wave-induced enhancement of gravitational forces. The technological setup is divided into two main units: a wave coalescence unit, where wave forces localize and merge fine droplets into larger ones, and a wave separation unit, where wave fields laminarize the flow and enhance gravitational separation. Experimental studies on a purpose-built test stand, featuring an original nonlinear oscillation generator, demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach. The configuration incorporating both the wave generator and the laminarization block showed a measurable increase in separation efficiency for a water-alcohol-oil emulsion, confirming the practical potential of nonlinear wave mechanics for liquid separation.</jats:p>
