Experimental study on time-frequency characteristics of self-excited pulsed jet striking force in self-absorbing annular-air fluid type by Weiqin ZUO, Shengjie WU, Yanwei LIU, Liqun LONG, Haojie JIA, Jian MIAO, Shixi ZHANG

“…The test results show that: the time-frequency of the self-absorbing pulse jet striking force generated by the device is mainly concentrated in the frequency band from 30 Hz to 50 Hz, the cavity length has a greater influence on the energy distribution of the self-absorbing pulse jet striking force, when the cavity length is 18.6 mm, the self-absorbing pulse jet striking force has the largest energy density, the energy distribution of the three-dimensional surface of the existence of obvious peaks, the jet pulsation is the best effect; the time-mean value and fluctuation of the striking force of self-absorbing pulse jet The time-averaged value, fluctuation size, frequency and total energy of the self-priming pulsed jet striking force increase with the increase of the working pressure, the larger the working pressure is, the higher the peak value of the wave peak of the three-dimensional surface of the energy distribution of the self-priming pulsed jet striking force is, the better the pulsation effect of the jet is; with the increase of the peripheral pressure, the self-priming pulsed jet striking force decreases in energy density, and the pulsation effect of the jet deteriorates, and the energy of the jet is drastically reduced in the case of the peripheral pressure is larger than 0.1 MPa, and the decrease is 47%. …”
