Effect of fluid motion on colony formation in Microcystis aeruginosa

Microcystis aeruginosa, generally occurring in large colonies under natural conditions, mainly exists as single cells in laboratory cultures. The mechanisms involved in colony formation in Microcystis aeruginosa and their roles in algal blooms remain unknown. In this study, based on previous research findings that fluid motion may stimulate the colony formation in green algae, cul^are experiments were conducted under axenic conditions in a circular water chamber where the flow rate, temperature, light, and nutrients were controlled. The number of cells of Microcystis aeruginosa, the number of cells per colony, and the colonial characteristics in various growth phases were observed and measured. The results indicated that the colony formation in Microcystis aeruginosa, which was not observed under stagnant conditions, was evident when there was fluid motion, with the number of cells per largest colony reaching 120 and the proportion of the number of cells in colonial form to the total number of cells and the mean number of cells per colony reaching their peak values at a flow rate of 35 crn/s. Based on the analysis of colony formation process, fluid motion stimulates the colony formation in Microcystis aeruginosa in the lag growth phase, while flushes and disaggregates the colonies in the exponential growth phase. The stimulation effect in the lag growth phase may be attributable to the involvement of fluid motion in a series of physiological processes, including the uptake of trace elements and the synthesis and secretion of polysaccharides. In addition, the experimental groups exhibiting typical colonial characteristics in the lag growth phase were found to have higher cell biomass in the later phase.

CFD Simulation of the Vertical Motion Characteristics of the Moonpool Fluid for the Truss Spar

The research purpose of this paper is to estimate the impacts of the parameters of the guide plate on the vertical motion characteristics of the moonpool fluid. With the volume of fluid(VOF) method, three-dimensional models of the moonpool fluid motions of the truss spar platform are established. Simulation results are then presented for the moonpool forced oscillation by employing the dynamic mesh method and user-defined functions in FLUENT. The motions of the moonpool fluid and the loads on the guide plates are obtained for both cases of square-ring and crisscross. The results show that the shape and area of the guide plate at the bottom of the moonpool have a significant impact on the physical parameters of the moonpool, including the load on the moonpool guide plate, motion form of the moonpool fluid and the mass flow rate.

Motion Law of a Sphere in Bingham Fluid with Thixotropy

The thixotropy properties and the motion law of a sphere in the Bingham fluid have been studied. Through observation of the settling motion of a single sphere in the Bingham fluid on the X-ray screen, it has been discovered that the mud in estuaries and along sea bay, and the hyperconcentrated flow all behave as the Bingham fl fluid with thixotropy properties as the large sediment concentration. Through derivation, the theoretical relationship between the yield stress and non-settling maximum sphere supported by the stress for the Bingham fluid has been developed, the equations for calculating the increasing yield stress and the non-settling maximum sphere diameter with the duration at rest of the slurry have been obtained. In consideration of the effect of thixotropy on fluid motion, the Navier-Stokes equation group for the Bingham thixotropy fluid has been developed. Through further study of the flow boundary condition of settling motion of ii single sphere in the Bingham thixotropy fluid, and the solving of the Navier-Stokes equation group, under the small Reynolds number, the theoretical equation of the drag force of the Bingham thixotropy fluid flowing around a sphere has been deduced. The theoretical relationship between drag coefficient and Reynolds number has been derived. By use of the experimental data of rheological test of various slurries measured with viscometer and those of single sphere motion observed on the X-ray screeen, the above equations have been verified. The equations are in good agreement with the experimental data for various slurries.

Dynamics of stochastic non-Newtonian fluids driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H∈(1/4,1/2)

A two-dimensional （2D） stochastic incompressible non-Newtonian fluid driven by the genuine cylindrical fractional Brownian motion （FBM） is studied with the Hurst parameter ∈ （1/4,1/2） under the Dirichlet boundary condition. The existence and regularity of the stochastic convolution corresponding to the stochastic non-Newtonian fluids are obtained by the estimate on the and the identity of the infinite double series spectrum of the spatial differential operator in the analytic number theory. The existence of the mild solution and the random attractor of a random dynamical system are then obtained for the stochastic non-Newtonian systems with ∈ （1/2,1） without any additional restriction on the parameter H.

考虑多孔介质渗透率变化的宾汉流体渗透注浆扩散模型

渗透注浆是一种广泛应用于岩土多孔介质加固的方法,但已有基于浆液流变方程和平衡方程的研究,侧重分析浆液本身性质如黏度时变性、滤过效应、自身重力等对渗透注浆扩散范围的影响,尚未考虑浆液在孔隙内的流动阻力对多孔介质渗透率的影响,导致现有理论解析结果与试验测试结果相差较大。因此,基于黏性流体的运动方程、连续方程和平衡方程,引入浆液在孔隙内的流动阻力对多孔介质渗透率的影响,推导获得多孔介质渗透率随介质孔隙特性、注浆施工参数和注浆扩散半径的函数解析表达式,据此建立考虑多孔介质渗透率变化的浆液扩散控制方程。与已有理论结果对比表明,考虑浆液流动阻力影响的理论结果更接近试验结果,可以验证该理论方法的有效性。参数分析结果表明:考虑浆液在孔隙内的流动阻力时,岩土多孔介质渗透率随注浆时间的增加呈现先迅速降低后缓慢上升趋势,随注浆压力的增大呈现逐渐下降趋势;对于工程中常见的符合宾汉流体性质的水泥浆液材料,当注浆时间小于5 min时,多孔介质渗透率变化是影响浆液扩散的主控因素,超过7 min后,浆液黏度时变性成为主控因素。研究成果能为岩土多孔介质渗透注浆工程实际中注浆参数选取和质量控制起到良好的理论指导意义。

Analysis of Influence on Aerodynamic Noise of Wind Turbine Blades under Different Pitch Angles

Aiming at the influence of blade pitch Angle on aerodynamic noise of wind turbines, the sound field and flow field distribution at 0˚, 5˚, 10˚ and 15˚ are calculated by numerical simulation. Then, through the distribution of pressure field and velocity field calculated by flow field, the influence of different pitch angles on wind turbine blade aerodynamic noise and the reasons for its influence are analyzed. The results show that when the pitch Angle increases within 0˚ - 10˚, the aerodynamic noise pressure level of the blade decreases. However, the sound pressure level of aerodynamic noise increases in the range of 10˚ - 15˚. The changes of static pressure gradient and pressure pulsation on the blade surface make the aerodynamic noise change, and the changes of the two are positively correlated. At the same time, the fluid velocity and fluid motion state on the blade surface are closely related to the aerodynamic noise of the blade. The greater the fluid velocity, the more complex the fluid motion state and the greater the turbulent kinetic energy of the wind turbine blade, and the aerodynamic noise of the wind turbine blade will also increase.

发生海难时,船舶配备的救生浮体就位速度对救援效率和成功率起着很大的作用,而救生浮体在波浪中的水动力性能对其就位速度又有着至关重要的影响。该文针对自主研发的整体式自航浮体,从提高速度角度出发,采用数值方法研究浮体以不同尾倾角度和航速在静水和规则波中航行的水动力学性能。研究结果发现:自航浮体在静水和规则波中受到的阻力随航行速度增加近乎呈线性增大,且在规则波中受到的阻力普遍大于静水中的。自航浮体的高压区增大、低压区的出现以及波浪作用浮体周围高低压区交替出现,会进一步引起浮体的运动响应。自航浮体的运动响应受吃水影响大,初始吃水较小或较大时,浮体的纵摇运动更加明显,而自航浮体的垂荡运动是随着吃水增大而愈发显著。研究结论可为自航浮体的研发提供必要的数据支撑。

直流电力设备表面电致水滴变形现象的数值模拟方法

电致水滴运动变形是一种涉及电场与流体场相互耦合的复杂物理现象,常见于雨后的绝缘子金具、设备高压均压环表面,高效快速的数值模拟方法是揭示雨滴变形和激发电晕的物理机制的基础。为此针对三维电动流体模型数值计算中常见的计算时间长、收敛困难的问题,从电场唯一性定理出发提出了基于场等效的数值模拟方法,从光偏折原理出发搭建了基于阴影法的水滴变形现象观测平台,通过数值仿真与试验拍摄结果对比的方式验证了该方法的有效性。研究结果表明:本文方法构建的电场与原始电场的相对误差在0.01%以内;数值模拟得到的水滴在正极性直流电压下的喷射形态与试验符合较好,通过比较水滴根部、中部、头部宽度和长度,表明数值模拟和试验的相对误差在10%以内,验证本文模拟方法的有效性,同时在保证收敛性的情况下计算时间由8 h缩短至1 h。

利用卫星重力场数据和小波多尺度分析方法对东非大裂谷进行三维密度结构成像,取得了东非大裂谷地壳和上地幔多个深度等效层上的密度扰动图像,为东非大裂谷岩石圈结构和动力学的研究提供了重要佐证。结果表明,东非大裂谷中段的西支裂谷与东支裂谷的幔源熔体同源,但是西支裂谷发育较不充分、形成较晚。东非大裂谷的动力学模式为熔流体上涌的树形分叉模式,其要点包括:(1)低密度流体在软流圈大面积上涌;(2)流体在岩石圈继续上涌,部分转化为基性岩浆岩,平面面积缩小;(3)进入地壳后上涌熔流体分叉成多支,平面总面积进一步缩小;(4)熔流体上涌到上地壳后仅在裂谷带活动,反映为火山链和玄武岩带。

浮选气泡尺寸对粗颗粒-气泡涡旋湍流脱附机制的影响

气泡是浮选过程中不可或缺的重要角色,其尺寸对颗粒-气泡间相互作用有着显著影响,然而气泡尺寸对粗颗粒-气泡涡旋湍流脱附机制的影响尚未清晰。为此,采用自制的颗粒-气泡受限湍流脱附测试平台探索了涡旋湍流中不同气泡尺寸的气絮体上颗粒的脱附行为,并运用Image-ProPlus图像处理软件对颗粒脱附过程的动力学参数进行了测量分析。结果表明:在确保气泡浮力的前提下,减小气泡尺寸能够显著提升粗颗粒-气泡的矿化气絮体在涡旋湍流中的稳定性;涡旋湍流中气絮体上颗粒的脱附主要表现为流体剪切、气泡振荡和颗粒离心三种脱附形式,方腔内涡旋结构的改变对气絮体上颗粒的脱附方式至关重要;区别于传统离心脱附理论,涡旋湍流驱使下颗粒并非单独在气泡表面做高速离心运动,而是与气泡一起做离心运动,且小气泡与颗粒在方腔内共同旋转时,位于气泡外缘的颗粒与气泡运动速度接近,相应气絮体稳定性高,颗粒不易发生离心脱附,而大气泡形成的气絮体中,气泡外缘的颗粒与气泡运动速度差异明显增大,颗粒相对于气泡旋转更快,从而使得颗粒所受离心力显著增强,增加了离心脱附的可能性。研究结果有望对涡旋湍流场中粗颗粒的脱附机制提供一个基本认识。

造纸用三叶凸轮转子泵的内部流场数值模拟研究

三叶凸轮转子泵内部流场的特性对其性能和可靠性具有重要影响,因此进行内部流场分析是十分有必要的。为此,进行造纸用三叶凸轮转子泵的内部流场数值模拟研究,建立三叶凸轮转子泵的三维实体模型并对其划分网格,设置边界条件和流体属性;在此基础上,建立四个流体运动控制方程,利用CFX软件中压力求解器对流体运动控制方程进行求解。结果表明:在0.20 s、0.22 s、0.24 s时,上转子基元内的流场压力逐渐增大,下转子基元逐渐向转子泵的出口方向移动;在0.26 s到0.28 s时,下转子基元逐渐与出口连通,泵内流场压力重新趋于稳定。在0.20 s、0.22 s时,由于转子基元还未完全与出口段相连通,因此高速区域中心位于靠出口段下方,之后随着转子的转动,在0.24 s、0.26 s、0.28 s时,转子基元与出口段连通,内部流体流量开始逐渐减少,高速区域中心也开始向上方移动。
