The fluid phase is calculated by large eddy simulation and particles are tracked using Lagrangian trajectory method. The flow Reynolds number is 180 based on the friction velocity and half-width of the channel. The particle is lycopodium with St=0.93 which may well follow the fluid phase. The mean and fluctuating velocities of both two phases are obtained, which are in good agreement with previous data. The strongest accumulations of particles in low-speed streak structures are observed at y~=l 1.3. Moreover, once particles are captured in low-speed streaks, most of them will reside there for a long period. Particles clustered in low-speed streaks obtain smaller instantaneous wall-normal and spanwise velocities than those out of there, which induce a larger particle flux into low-speed streaks than that out of there. The study is important for understanding particle dispersion mechanisms in gas-particle turbulent channel flows.展开更多

Organized pressure disturbance model and constant-volume bomb model are applied as artificial disturbances to excite pressure oscillations in the chamber. Eigenfrequencies and amplitudes of acoustic modes of the chamber are obtained by fast fourier transform(FFT) analysis, while damping characteristics are evaluated by the half-power bandwidth method. Predicted damping capacities of the chamber with and without quarter-wave resonators agree well with experimental results. Pressure oscillations can be controlled by a quarter-wave resonator mainly through reducing the amplitude of target acoustic mode, rather than increasing damping capacity of the chamber. Major damping mechanism of the resonator is cutting down pressure peak of target acoustic mode and raising up its pressure trough(CPRT);therefore the amplitude of target acoustic mode is reduced significantly. Moreover, acoustic energy can be dissipated by vortex at the orifice and by viscosity on the surface of a resonator, which increase damping capacity of the chamber slightly. Under the condition with multi-modes pressure oscillations, a resonator can still suppress pressure oscillations of target acoustic mode through CPRT.However, it may enhance pressure oscillations of other modes due to redistribution of oscillation energy among all acoustic modes.展开更多
