Discharge Coefficient of 3-in-1 Hole with Various Inclination Angle and Hole Pitch

Discharge coefficients of 3-in-1 hole of three inclination angles and three spacing between holes are presented which described the discharge behavior of a row of holes. The inlet and outlet of the 3-in-1 hole both have a 15° lateral expansion. The flow conditions considered are mainstream turbulence intensities and density ratios of secondary flow to mainstream. The momentum flux ratios varied in the range from 1 to 4. The comparison is made of the discharge coefficients of three shaped holes to find an optimal hole with low flow loss. The results show that the discharge coefficients of 3-in- 1 hole are highest in three shaped holes and therefore this article is focused on the measurements of discharge coefficients of 3-in-1 hole for various geometries and aerodynamic parameters. The measured results of 3-in-1 hole indicate that turbulence intensities, density ratios and momentum flux ratios have weak influence on discharge coefficients for inclination angle of 20°. The high turbulence intensity yields the small discharge coefficients for inclination angle of 45° and 90°. The increased both momentum flux ratios and density ratios lead to the increased discharge coefficients for inclination angle of 45° and 90°. The increased inclination angle causes the rapidly increased discharge coefficients. There is a weak dependence of discharge coefficients on hole pitches.

A criterion for flow mechanisms through vertical sharp-edged orifice and model for the orifice discharge coefficient

According to the experimental data of the orifice discharge coefficient for the flow through a vertical sharp-edged orifice obtained in the previous study of this work,a theoretical criterion for flow mechanisms of small orifice（viz.thick-walled orifice and nozzle） and large orifice（viz.thin-walled orifice） was proposed based on the ratio of orifice diameter to plate thickness.It can help explain the dissipation of the mechanical energy loss in the flow process for the two flow mechanisms under different operating regimes.The main parameters such as orifice diameter,plate thickness and liquid head were correlated,and a semi-empirical model for orifice coefficient and an empirical model with high precision at the stable region were developed.

Variation of Discharge Coefficient of Spillway and Broad Crested Weir Due to the Effectiveness of the Longitudinal Slope in a Non-horizontal Channel

In this work, experiment efforts were devoted to study the effect of the longitudinal slope of channel on the discharge coefficient for ogee spillway and broad crested weir. A comprehensive laboratory study including 17 tests was conducted to estimate the variation of the discharge coefficient due to variation of the longitudinal slope. It was shown that the discharge coefficient is significantly increasing with the increase of the slope by more than 90% or 75% and 80% or 70% for weir and spillway in case of excluding or including the approach velocity head, respectively. Also, CFD （computational fluid dynamics） with a help of Comsol-multyphsics program was used to simulate the problem. The program explained that the linear distribution of the hydraulic pressure changes to a non-linear distribution as the longitudinal slope is considered. Consequently, the values of the discharge coefficient are also affected.

Experimental Investigation of Discharge Capacity of Labyrinth Weirs with and without Nappe Breakers

Labyrinth weirs provide higher discharge capacity than conventional weirs, with the ability to pass large flows at comparatively low heads. Labyrinth weirs are primarily used as spillways for dams where the spillway width is restricted. In recent years, many research investigations have considered the hydraulic performance of labyrinth weirs, particularly as dependent on the geometric features. The previous work has improved the design basis for such weirs. However, their design still requires experimentally derived and generalized performance curves. It is especially important to observe the behavior of the weir nappe to ensure the design provides hydraulic optimization and to account for pressure fluctuations, possible vibrations, resonance effect, noise and flow surging. In the present study, discharge coefficients were experimentally determined for both circular labyrinth weirs and sharp crested trapezoidal labyrinth weirs of varying side wall angle (α). Additional studies were completed with nappe breakers included to reduce the impact of vibration on the labyrinth weirs. In general, the test data indicated that nappe breakers placed on the trapezoidal labyrinth weirs and circular labyrinth weirs reduced the discharge coefficient by up to 4% of the un-amended weir.

Study on the discharge coefficient of wind-driven naturally ventilated Chinese solar greenhouses

The Chinese solar greenhouse(CSG)is a prevalent feature in agricultural practices within China.Nevertheless,the regulation of natural ventilation within this architectural structure remains suboptimal.Consequently,the development of a natural ventilation model becomes imperative for the effective management of the greenhouse environment.Of particular significance within these models is the consideration of the discharge coefficient as a pivotal parameter.Conducting a multi-case investigation into the variable-dependent discharge coefficient is crucial for both practical application and model advancement.This research delved into the impact of various factors,including the upper-lower vents area ratio(A_(up)/A_(low)),vent-greenhouse area ratio(A_(low)/A_(greenhouse)),lower vent position height(h/H),the incident angle of the external wind,and altitude,on the discharge coefficient(C_(d))of CSG.A CFD model was developed for a scaled CSG with validation conducted through field experiments and wind tunnel tests.Results indicated a 61.6%reduction in C_(d)on average corresponding to an 80%decrease in A_(up)/A_(low).C_(d)levels remained consistent following the attainment of an A_(up)/A_(low)ratio of 1.0.Besides,there was an average increase of 52.5%in C_(d)levels for every 0.09 decline in h/H,attributed to the blocking effect of the cover.Moreover,the ventilation rate and the pressure coefficient difference were utilized to construct a model of C_(d)pertaining to greenhouse design and ventilation operation,exhibiting a notable accuracy level of R^(2)=0.95.Furthermore,the blocking effect of higher h/H was relieved as the incident angleθdecreased under the windward conditions.The increase in A_(up)/A_(low)and the decrease in A_(low)/A_(greenhouse)were identified as crucial factors contributing to the growth of C_(d)under leeward conditions.Ultimately,the high-altitude environment led to a rise in C_(d)levels in contrast to the low-altitude region.The increasing rate of C_(d)correlated positively with A_(low)/A_(greenhouse)and h/H initially,but exhibited a decline once A_(low)/A_(greenhouse)reached 0.036,remaining stable thereafter once h/H reached 0.18.In summary,a comprehensive examination of the discharge coefficient of CSG was undertaken,addressing a significant knowledge deficiency and laying the groundwork for advancements in the natural ventilation model and the intelligent control system for CSG.

Experimental Investigation on Flow and Heat Transfer of Jet Impingement inside a Semi-Confined Smooth Channel

Experimental investigation is conducted to investigate the flow and heat transfer performances of jet impingement cooling inside a semi-confined smooth channel.Effects of jet Reynolds number(varied from 10 000to 45000),orifice-to-target spacing(zn=1d—4d)and jet-to-jet pitches(xn=3d—5d,yn=3d—5d)on the convective heat transfer coefficient and discharge coefficient are revealed.For a single-row jets normal impingement,the impingement heat transfer is enhanced with the increase of impingement Reynolds number or the decrease of spanwise jet-to-jet pitch.The highest local heat transfer is achieved when zn/dis 2.For the double-row jets normal impingement,the laterally-averaged Nusselt number distributions in the vicinity of the first row jets impinging stagnation do not fit well with the single-row case.The highest local heat transfer is obtained when zn/dis 1.A smaller jetto-jet pitch generally results in a lower discharge coefficient.The discharge coefficient in the double-row case is decreased relative to the single-row case at the same impingement Reynolds number.

CFD Simulation of Orifice Flow in Orifice-type Liquid Distributor

In this study,a suitable CFD(computational fluid dynamics)model has been developed to investigate the influence of liquid height on the discharge coefficient of the orifice-type liquid distributors.The orifice flow in different diameters and liquid heights has been realized using the shear stress transport(SST)turbulence model and the Gamma Theta transition(GTT)model.In the ANSYS CFX software,two models are used in conjunction with an automatic wall treatment which allows for a smooth shift from a wall function(WF)to a low turbulent-Re near wall formulation(LTRW).The results of the models coupled with LTRW are closer to the experimental results compared with the models with WF,indicating that LTRW is more appropriate for the prediction of boundary layer characteristics of orifice flow.Simulation results show that the flow conditions of orifices change with the variation of liquid height.With respect to the turbulence in orifice,the SST model coupled with LTRW is recommended.However,with respect to the transition to turbulence in orifice with an increase in liquid height,the predictions of GTT model coupled with LTRW are superior to those obtained using other models.

A swirling jet from a nozzle with tangential inlets and its characteristics in breaking-up rocks

In order to apply a swirling jet to a PDC drill bit, the nozzle performance influenced by nozzle inlet geometric parameters and rock breaking tests under submerged conditions were studied. Numerical simulation was used to study the influence of the nozzle structure on the swirling intensity and nozzle discharge coefficient. Simulation results indicate that spreading angle of the swirling jet is greater than that of＂ the non-swirling jet, and the swirling intensity of the jet is strongly influenced by the length of the nozzle body but weakly by the number of tangential inlets. Rock breaking tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the swirling jet. It is found that the swirling jet shows a lower threshold pressure to break the rock samples and could break rock more efficiently compared with the non-swirling jet.

Experimental and numerical analysis of flow over a rectangular full-width sharp-crested weir

Weirs are a type of hydraulic structure, used for water level adjustment, flow measurement, and diversion of water in irrigation systems. In this study, experiments were conducted on sharp-crested weirs under free-flow conditions and an optimization method was used to determine the best form of the discharge coefficient equation based on the coefficient of determination （R2） and root mean square error （RMSE）. The ability of the numerical method to simulate the flow over the weir was also investigated using Fluent software. Results showed that, with an increase of the ratio of the head over the weir crest to the weir height （h/P）, the discharge coefficient decreased nonlinearly and reached a constant value of 0.7 for hiP 〉 0.6. The best form of the discharge coefficient equation predicted the discharge coefficient well and percent errors were within a ±5% error limit. Numerical results of the discharge coefficient showed strong agreement with the experimental data. Variation of the discharge coefficient with Reynolds numbers showed that the discharge coefficient reached a constant value of 0.7 when hiP 〉 0.6 and Re 〉 20000.

Structure and Flow Characteristics of Flat Fan Nozzles with a Single Orifice Formed by a Rectangular Cut

The flat fan nozzle with a single orifice formed by a rectangular cut at the nozzle exit through a semi-ellipsoid blind end was developed. The flow rate characteristic of the nozzle was analyzed. Theoretical analysis shows that the discharge coefficient of the nozzle is a function of the ratio of the projected exit flow area to the cross sectional area of the nozzle input section. Water spraying experiment results show that the discharge coefficient increases with the increase of the ratio of the projected exit flow area to the cross sectional area of the nozzle input section when the rectangular cut depth doesn't exceed the distance from the center of the hemisphere to the nozzle end; conversely,the discharge coefficient decreases with the increase of the ratio; for a given nozzle,the discharge coefficient varies with Reynolds number.

Flow over Broad Crested Weirs： Comparison of 2D and 3D Models

The flow over broad-crested weirs was simulated by computational fluid dynamic model. The water surface profile over broad crested weir was measured in a laboratory model and validated using two and three dimensional Fluent programs. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the turbulent standard （k-ε） model and volume of fluid method were applied to estimate the water surface profile. The results of numerical model were compared with experimental results to evaluate the ability of model in describing the behaviour of water surface profile over the weir. The results indicated that the 3D required more time in comparison with 2D results and the flow over weir changed from subcritical flow at the upstream （U/S） face of weir to critical flow over the crest and to supercritical flow at downstream （D/S）. A reasonable agreement was noticed between numerical results and experimental observations with mean error less than 2 %.

Flow Loss in Screens： A Fresh Look at Old Correlation

Pressure losses in flow components are generally characterized either by pressure loss coefficients or by discharge coefficients. The pressure drop for incompressible flow across a screen of fractional free area a is often calculated from widely used correlation provided in Perry＇s Handbook. This correlation was developed based on experimental work which have covered a wide range of fractional free area （a = 0.14 to 0.79）. The present work aims at validation for a flow in plain square mesh screen with a particular fractional free area （porosity, a） of 0.25 using CFD （Computational Fluid Dynamics） approach. The simulations are carried out for wide range of screen Reynolds number （Re = 0.1 to 105） covering both laminar and turbulent flow regimes. Initial simulations are carried out for incompressible fluid （water） and further extended to compressible fluid （air）. Discharge coefficients obtained from the simulations are compared with experimental values. Effect of compressibility on discharge coefficients is described.

The Effect of Diffuser Angle on the Discharge Coefficient of a Miniature Critical Nozzle

Many researches on critical nozzles have been performed to accurately measure the mass flow rate of gas flow,and to standardize the performance as a flow meter.Recently,much interest is being paid on the measurement of very small mass flow rate in industry fields such as MEMS applications.However,the design and performance data of the critical nozzles obtained so far have been applied mainly to the critical nozzles with comparatively large diameters,and the works available on miniature critical nozzles are lacking.In the present study,a computational fluid dynamics method has been applied to investigate the influence of the diffuser angle on discharge coefficient of the miniature critical nozzles.In computations,the throat diameter of critical nozzle is varied from 0.2 mm to 5.0 mm and the diffuser angle is changed from 2 deg to 8 deg.The computational results are validated with some experimental data available.The results show that the present computational results predict appropriately the discharge coefficient of the gas flows through miniature critical nozzles.It is known that the discharge coefficient is considerably influenced by the diffuser angle,as the throat diameter of nozzle becomes small below a certain value.This implies that the miniature critical nozzles should be carefully designed.

Investigation of Interacting Mechanism between Film Cooling and Internal Cooling Structures of Turbine Blade

This paper presents three-dimensional numerical simulations with the established realizable k-εmodel to clarify the underlying and interacting mechanisms between the film cooling and the internal cooling.On the one hand,the effects of three different internal cooling channels,i.e.,smooth channel,continuous ribbed channel,and truncated ribbed channel,on the film cooling effectiveness and the discharge coefficients are investigated.On the other hand,the influences of three different film cooling holes,i.e.,cylindrical hole,two elliptical holes and two circular-to-elliptical holes,on the heat transfer performances and pressure loss of the internal cooling channel are revealed.Especially,the suction effects of the film cooling holes are analyzed through setting up baselines with only internal cooling channels.Results show that the placement of ribs in the internal channel has different influences on the film cooling effectiveness with respect to different hole shapes depending on the blowing ratio.The discharge coefficient of the film hole can be improved by introducing ribs to the internal channel.Suction of film hole is helpful for enhancing the heat transfer performance and reducing the pressure loss of the internal channel.Besides,ribs instead of the suction effect of film hole play a major role to enhance the heat transfer performance in the internal cooling channel.

Numerical Investigation of Flow and Heat Transfer in Vane Impingement/Effusion Cooling with Various Rib/Dimple Structure

By investigating heat transfer and flow structures of dimples,orthogonal ribs,and V-shaped ribs in the impingement/effusion cooling,the article is dedicated to selecting a best-performing internal cooling structure for a turbine vane.The overall cooling effectiveness and coolant consumption are adopted to evaluate the cooling performance.To analyze the influence of structural modification,the flow field is investigated on chordwise/spanwise sections and the target surface.The blockage effect on crossflow can protect jet flow,resulting in higher heat transfer performance of the target surface.Ribs own a stronger blockage effect than dimples.Compared with the blockage effect,the influence of the rib shape is negligible.By installing dimples between ribs,heat transfer is augmented further.The introduction of ribs/dimples leads to higher discharge coefficients of jet nozzles but lower discharge coefficients of film holes.Thus,the film cooling deteriorates.Meanwhile,the installation of the ribs and dimples decreases total coolant consumption.The effect of ribs/dimples on heat transfer and effusion condition of internal and external cooling is analyzed.The best-performing cooling structure is the target surface with dimples and orthogonal ribs,which decreases the wall temperature and coolant consumption by 14.57-28.03 K and 1.19%-1.81%respectively.This article concludes the flow mechanism for dimples and influence factors on the cooling performance,which may serve as guidance for the turbine vane design.

Investigation on film cooling characteristics from a row of converging slot-holes on flat plate

Experimental and numerical researches were conducted to investigate the cooling performance of a single row of consoles （converging slot-hole） on a large-scale flat-plate model. The results show that the coolant flow from a row of consoles shows good lateral uniformity of adiabatic effectiveness, with regions of slightly enhanced cooling occurring between the consoles. For the console cooling geometry, the interaction between coolant jet from inclined console and the mainstream flow results in reasonable vortices configuration. A pair of counter rotating vortices originate from the edge of slot, not from the centerline of film holes and the rotating direction is contrary to conventional cylindrical hole. The heat transfer coefficient ratio is a tittle bigger for the console case than conventional cylindrical hole, and the discharge coefficient for a console is larger than that for cylindrical film cooling hole.
