Numerical Simulation on Subcooled Boiling Heat Transfer Characteristics of Water-Cooled W/Cu Divertors

In order to realize safe and stable operation of a water-cooled W/Cu divertor under high heating condition,the exact knowledge of its subcooled boiling heat transfer characteristics under different design parameters is crucial.In this paper,subcooled boiling heat transfer in a water-cooled W/Cu divertor was numerically investigated based on computational fluid dynamic（CFD）.The boiling heat transfer was simulated based on the Euler homogeneous phase model,and local differences of liquid physical properties were considered under one-sided high heating conditions.The calculated wall temperature was in good agreement with experimental results,with the maximum error of 5%only.On this basis,the void fraction distribution,flow field and heat transfer coefficient（HTC）distribution were obtained.The effects of heat flux,inlet velocity and inlet temperature on temperature distribution and pressure drop of a water-cooled W/Cu divertor were also investigated.These results provide a valuable reference for the thermal-hydraulic design of a water-cooled W/Cu divertor.

Dynamic Characteristics and Simplified Numerical Methods of An All-Vertical-Piled Wharf in Offshore Deep Water

There has been a growing trend in the development of offshore deep-water ports in China. For such deep sea projects, all-vertical-piled wharves are suitable structures and generally located in open waters, greatly affected by wave action. Currently, no systematic studies or simplified numerical methods are available for deriving the dynamic characteristics and dynamic responses of all-vertical-piled wharves under wave cyclic loads. In this article, we compare the dynamic characteristics of an all-vertical-piled wharf with those of a traditional inshore high-piled wharf through numerical analysis; our research reveals that the vibration period of an all-vertical-piled wharf under cyclic loading is longer than that of an inshore high-piled wharf and is much closer to the period of the loading wave. Therefore, dynamic calculation and analysis should be conducted when designing and calculating the characteristics of an all-vertical-piled wharf. We establish a dynamic finite element model to examine the dynamic response of an all-vertical-piled wharf under wave cyclic loads and compare the results with those under wave equivalent static load; the comparison indicates that dynamic amplification of the structure is evident when the wave dynamic load effect is taken into account. Furthermore, a simplified dynamic numerical method for calculating the dynamic response of an all-vertical-piled wharf is established based on the P-Y curve. Compared with finite element analysis, the simplified method is more convenient to use and applicable to large structural deformation while considering the soil non-linearity. We confirmed that the simplified method has acceptable accuracy and can be used in engineering applications.

CALCULATION OF THE HYDRODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A OWC WAVE ENERGY ABSORBER

This paper deals with the hydrodynamic response to waves of a 3-D OWC(oscillating water column)wave energy absorber with converging channel.The theoretical solutions are presented by means of three-dimensional GREEN function method.In the calculation,the flow field is divided into two subregions:an inside field and an outside one.In the outside field the solution is represented by oscillating sources distributed on the outer surface of the chamber of the absorber,while the solution of the inside field is expressed by Rakine source-distribution on the inner surface of the chamber.Both solutions are matched on the artificial interface.The calculated.values seem to agree reasonably well with experimental results.

CHARACTERISTIC DISTRIBUTION OF SLOPE SCATTERED RADIATION WITH ITS CALCULATION MODEL

Detailed analysis is made of anisotropy of slope scattered radiation(SSR)in terms of the data obtained by a pyranometer mounted on a theodolite,indicating the change of SSR as a function of orientation and slope. And also reviewed are the models for SSR calculation developed by earlier researchers through the tests with the data.On this basis a new model for SSR flux density is proposed which is of higher applicability and has advantage over the analogues abroad both in physical implication and accuracy of the calculations.

Aerodynamic design,analysis,and validation techniques for the Tianwen-1 entry module

The clear differences between the atmosphere of Mars and the Earth coupled with the lack of a domestic research basis were significant challenges for the aerodynamic prediction and verification of Tianwen-1.In addition,the Mars entry,descent,and landing(EDL)mission led to specific requirements for the accuracy of the aerodynamic deceleration performance,stability,aerothermal heating,and various complex aerodynamic coupling problems of the entry module.This study analyzes the key and difficult aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic problems related to the Mars EDL process.Then,the study process and results of the design and optimization of the entry module configuration are presented along with the calculations and experiments used to obtain the aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic characteristics in the Martian atmosphere.In addition,the simulation and verification of the low-frequency free oscillation characteristics under a large separation flow are described,and some special aerodynamic coupling problems such as the aeroelastic buffeting response of the trim tab are discussed.Finally,the atmospheric parameters and aerodynamic characteristics obtained from the flight data of the Tianwen-1 entry module are compared with the design data.The data obtained from the aerodynamic design,analysis,and verification of the Tianwen-1 entry module all meet the engineering requirements.In particular,the flight data results for the atmospheric parameters,trim angles of attack,and trim axial forces are within the envelopes of the prediction deviation zones.
