从亚临界到临界雷诺数圆柱绕流和分离泡的大涡模拟

A large eddy simulation of wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity model(LES-WALE)is used to simulate the threedimensional flow around a circular cylinder with a diameter of 0.25 m from sub-critical to super-critical Reynolds numbers at 1×10^(5),2.5×10^(5),and 7.2×10^(5),respectively.The present results such as drag crisis,surface pressure distribution,and Strouhal number are in good agreement with the classical experimental data.When entering the critical region,a small plateau was found on the pressure distribution curves,corresponding to the appearance of laminar separation bubbles,and the separation point is delayed and the recirculation bubbles become narrowed and shortened.The tangential velocity of the cylinder surface changes from positive to negative at the separation point.The instantaneous vorticity and timeaveraging separation bubbles embody an unstable feature.Within the separation bubble,the pressure varies dramatically with time,but not with position.The surface pressure fluctuates greatly after the laminar separation bubble appears,and it is gradually stabilized until the basic pressure is reached.The process of laminar separation,transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow and turbulent reattachment is also shown.The three-dimensional Q criterion of vortex structure and the two-dimensional spanwise vorticity reveal the phenomenon that the wake structure narrows with the increase of the Reynolds number.

Variation of satellite transponder delay

For precise orbit determination of geosynchronous earth orbit(GEO)satellites using transfer ranging observations,it is generally assumed that the variation of the satellite transponder delay is very small and that it can be solved as a constant parameter together with satellite orbit parameters.However,this assumption is too general and it reduces the accuracy of orbit determination for GEO satellites.To study and analyse the impact of the satellite transponder delay on GEO satellites orbit determination,two schemes were proposed.First,the satellite transponder delay was eliminated by forming single-difference observations between two ground stations;second,the satellite transponder delay was described as a constant parameter.The preliminary results demonstrate a difference of about1–2 m between the two schemes when used for precise orbit determination of GEO satellites.By fixing the GEO satellite orbit and other relevant parameters estimated by single-difference model,we inversed the instantaneous transponder delay from non-difference observation.It was found that the satellite transponder delay has a distinct diurnal variation,with an amplitude of 3–4 m.The findings of this paper are helpful in establishing an accurate model of satellite transponder delay and in improving the accuracy of GEO satellites orbit determinations and predictions.

Efficient three-dimensional high-resolution simulations of flow fields around cylinders

Few works use the fully three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic method to simulate the flow fields around the marine pipes with large aspect ratios due to the huge computation cost.In the present work,an operator-splitting method is used to efficiently solve the three-dimensional Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes governing equations of the fluid flow around pipes by separating the problem as a combination of a two-dimensional problem in the horizontal plane and an one-dimensional problem in the vertical direction.A second order total variation diminishing finite volume method is used to solve the model.The precision of the present model is validated by comparing the present numerical results of two typical three-dimensional cases with the available experimental and numerical results.The simulation results with a commercial software are also included in the comparison and the present model shows a higher performance in terms of computational time.
