Abstract

Blue-violet luminescence was observed in a mineral oil, which appeared under hydrodynamic cavitation conditions in a channel orifice 1 mm in diameter in a transparent throttling device at inlet pressures higher than 2 MPa. The appearance of electric pulses when a dielectric liquid flew through a thin channel orifice was observed much earlier than luminescence arose. A device for continuously scanning electric potential along a flow without disturbing it was developed. According to the oscillograms obtained, the electric signal was high-frequency, could not be synchronized, and its separate peaks reached 1000 mV. Light emission flux decreased as the temperature of the liquid increased to 30–35°C and inlet pressure grew. The appearance of luminescence and its intensity depended on the sharpness of the entrance edge of the throttle. Studies of hydrodynamic luminescence revealed hysteresis of light emission. A mechanism of localized light emission based on an important role played by electrokinetic phenomena was suggested.
