The gas-liquid two-phase flow of liquid dispersing and breaking under the action of shock wave includes complex physical phenomena, such as turbulent mixing of gas-liquid two-phase, instability and breakage of liquid interface, and formation of internal cavity structure after atomization. In order to investigate the shock-wave-caused breaking process of the liquid film, a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the gas-liquid two-phase flow process is performed by using the computational fluid dynamics method. In the simulation, the Mach number of shock wave is 1.5 and the thickness of liquid film is 2 mm. The finite volume method is used to solve the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation. The volume of fluid model is applied to the gas-liquid two-phase flow. The k-εdouble equation turbulence model is selected for the turbulence calculation. The evolution process of the wave system structure of the shock wave and the deformation, breakage and atomization characteristics of the liquid film are obtained, and compared with the experimental results. The results show that the incidence, reflection, and transmission phenomena occur during the interaction between the shock wave and the liquid film, and the intensity of the transmitted shock wave and the liquid surface tension have an important effect on the breaking process of the liquid film. The transmitted shock wave affects the shape of the broken cloud cluster on the left of the liquid film, while the incident shock wave and reflected shock wave affect the shape of the broken cloud cluster on the right side of the liquid film. The volume of the atomized cloud formed in the breaking process of the liquid film increases rapidly, first reaching 6.7 dm ³within 2.5 ms, then keeping stable basically. After the shock wave exits from the tube, a long narrow jet is formed. The maximum velocity reaches 519 m/s and appears in the interior of the jet, and then decreases continuously. Under the action of the jet, an expanding three-dimensional cavity structure is formed inside the atomizing cloud, and an annular vortex with negative pressure in the core area occurs in the cavity structure. Finally, the annular vortex continuously entrains the surrounding fluid in the process of forward movement, the strength of the vortex decreases and gradually dissipates in the space. This work is conducive to further understanding the interaction process of gas-liquid two-phase flow.
