Effects of process parameters on the depth-to-width ratio of flux-cored wire underwater wet welding

The effects of process parameters on the depth-to-width ratio （D/W） of flux-cored wire underwater wet welding with a certain type of homemade .flux-cored wire are studied. It is found that the welding .speed, wire feeding speed and torch oscillating amplitude hare significant effects on the dopth-to-width ratio （D/W） of welds. The D/W ratio of welds increases significantly with the increase of welding speed without the oscillating of welding torch. It increased （from 0. 14 to 0. 26 ） with the increase of wire feeding speed while the torch oscillating. And it decreased linearly with the increase of torch oscillating amplitude. However, the influelwe of oscillating speed, wire extension and welding voltage on the D/W ratio of welds was not obvious.

Effect of extrusion ratio on coating extrusion of Pb-GF composite wire by numerical simulation and experimental investigation

The extrusion ratio is one of the key parameters for manufacturing the lead-glass fiber(Pb-GF)composite wire by coating extrusion.The effect of extrusion ratio on coating extrusion of Pb-GF composite wire was studied by finite element numerical simulation with the use of the DEFOEM simulation software.The simulation result shows that the higher the extrusion ratio,the higher the effective stress that the glass fiber bears during extrusion.It is also observed that the extrusion force increases with the increase of the extrusion ratio.The extrusion experiment of Pb-GF composite wire reveals that extrusion ratio is changed by changing the quantity of glass fiber and composite diameter.The rule that increasing the extrusion ratio enhances the coating speed limit suggests that the load on the glass fiber increases with increasing extrusion ratio.Both the simulation and the extrusion experiments show that the extrusion force increases with increasing extrusion ratio.

On the trajectory of nonturbulent liquid jets in subsonic crossflows at different density ratios

Numerical simulations using volume of fluid(VOF)method are performed to study the impact of liquid-to-gas density ratio on the trajectory of nonturbulent liquid jets in gaseous crossflows.In this paper,large eddy simulation(LES)turbulence model is coupled with the VOF method to describe the turbulence effects accurately.In addition,dynamic adaptive mesh refinement method with two refinement levels is applied to refine the size of the cells located at gas-liquid interface.Density ratio is changed from 10 to 5000 while other nondimensional numbers are kept constant.Large density ratios are considered in this paper since they are common in many practical applications such as solution precursor/suspension plasma sprays.Our simulations show that the penetration height,especially in the farfield,increases as the density ratio increases.A general correlation for the jet trajectory,which can be used for a wide range of density ratios,is developed based on our simulation results.

Microwave absorption properties of FeSiBNbCu glass-covered amorphous wires

Coaxially dielectric samples consisting of different packing ratios of glass-covered Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 amorphous wires embedded in a paraffin wax matrix were fabricated, and the influence of short-wire packing ratio (3%-9% in mass fraction) and thickness (1-7 mm) on the microwave absorption properties was systematically investigated in microwave frequency range of 2-18 GHz. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scalar network analyzer (SNA) were used for characterizing microstructure and evaluating microwave absorption properties. Experimental results show the significant frequency (6-18 GHz) dependence of the complex relative permeability and permittivity. The reflection loss (RL) with different thickness and short-wire packing ratio reveals that the composite sample containing 7% exhibits better microwave absorption behavior with its minimum value of RL reaching-34 dB in thickness of 3 mm at 14 GHz. Therefore, it is significantly useful to develop microwire-dielectric materials with much wider absorption band for microwave absorption applications.

Numerical study of hydrofoil surface jet flow on cavitation suppression

Cavitation caused vibration and noise of hydraulic machinery. To some extent,cavitation made fatigue damage in advance. Many scholars found that the re-entrant jets were the reasons of the shedding of cavities. To suppress cavitation,based on the idea of blocking the re-entrant jets,a special surface flow structure of 2D hydrofoil was proposed. The through-hole was made in the proper position of the hydrofoil. The incoming flow can outflow from this jet-hole automatically depending on the pressure difference between pressure side and suction side. Re-entrant jet growth can be weakened by optimizing the jet-hole geometry. Based on the standard k-ε turbulence model and Schnerr & Sauer cavitation model,under different cavitation numbers( σ) and jet-angles( β) for NACA0066( 2D) hydrofoil with 8° angles of attack,cavitation field numerical analysis was carried out. The results show that 2D hydrofoil cavitation flow had a strong unsteadiness. Making a jet-hole at the junction between the re-entrant jet and cavity can effectively minimize cloud cavitation. For a certain cavitation condition,optimal jet-angles( β) can be obtained to control cavitation growth. For the same β,the effects of cavitation suppression were changed with different cavitation numbers( σ). Consequently,suitable jet-angle and jet-position could extend the stable operating range of the hydrofoil.

Flow structures of gaseous jets injected into water for underwater propulsion

Gaseous jets injected into water are typically found in underwater propulsion, and the flow is essentially unsteady and turbulent. Additionally, the high water-to-gas density ratio can result in complicated flow structures; hence measuring the flow structures numerically and experimentally remains a challenge. To investigate the performance of the underwater propulsion, this paper uses detailed NavierStokes flow computations to elucidate the gas-water interactions under the framework of the volume of fluid （VOF） model. Furthermore, these computations take the fluid compressibility, viscosity, and energy transfer into consideration. This paper compares the numerical results and experimental data, showing that phenomena including expansion, bulge, necking/breaking, and back-attack are highlighted in the jet process. The resulting analysis indicates that the pressure difference on the rear and front surfaces of the propul- sion system can generate an additional thrust. The strong and oscillatory thrust of the underwater propulsion system is caused by the intermittent pulses of the back pressure and the nozzle exit pressure. As a result, the total thrust in underwater propulsion is not only determined by the nozzle geometry but also by the flow structures and associated pressure distri- butions.

Effects of aspect ratio on shock-cylinder interaction

Interaction of a planar shock wave with a discontinuous SF& elliptic gas cylinder surrounded by air is investigated. Special attention is given to the effects of aspect ratio on wave pattern, interface evolution, and material mixing. An ideal discontinuous two-dimensional gas cylinder is created by the soap film technique in experiments, and the shocked flow is captured by schlieren photography combined with a high-speed video camera. The surface of the gas cylinder is clear enough to observe the shock motions, and the distinct interface boundaries allow us to extract more details. As aspect ratio varies, the shock focusing process is quite different. For the prolate gas cylinder, an inward jet is produced although an internal shock focusing firstly occurs. The inward jet has never been observed in membraneless prolate ellipse experiments probably because the inward jet is so faint due to less vorticity generation on membraneless interface that it is difficult to be observed. For the oblate gas cylinder, a secondary vortex pair, which has not been described clearly in previous work, is derived from the downstream interface. The material lines at early stages are extracted from experiments, which grow faster as aspect ratio increases. The in terfacial area, the mean volume fraction and the mixing rate are presented from computations, and the results show that the increase of aspect ratio promotes the mixing between gases.

Mathematical model for abrasive suspension jet cutting based on orthogonal test design

This paper describes the application of orthogonal test design coupled with non-linear regression analysis to optimize abrasive suspension jet （AS J） cutting process and construct its cutting model. Orthogonal test design is applied to cutting stainless steel. Through range analysis on experiment results, the optimal process conditions for the cutting depth and the kerr ratio of the bottom width to the top width can be determined. In addition, the analysis of ranges and variances are all employed to identify various factors： traverse rate, working pressure, nozzle diameter, standoff distance which denote the importance order of the cutting parameters affecting cutting depth and the kerf ratio of the bottom width to the top width. ~rthermore, non-linear regression analysis is used to establish the mathematical models of the cutting parameters based on the cutting depth and the kerr ratio. Finally, the verification experiments of cutting parameters＇ effect on cutting performance, which show that optimized cutting parameters and cutting model can significantly improve the prediction of the cutting ability and quality of ASJ.

Experimental study on jet pulse assembly design and numerical simulation

Jet pulse assembly is one of the main components of jet hydraulic oscillator.The pressure wave characteristics produced by jet pulse assembly have an important influence on the performance of the tool.In this paper,the structure and working principle of jet pulse assembly are studied,the mechanical analysis model of piston rod is established,the dynamic resistance ratio formula of jet pulse assembly is deduced,and the numerical simulation test of 89-mm jet pulse assembly structure parameters is carried out.The results show that the piston rod downward stroke is driven by both the jet element driving force and the throttle plate load driving force,and can stably descend.The driving force of the piston rod upward stroke jet element is opposite to the load acting force of the throttle disc,and the jet driving force needs to be greater than the load resistance of the throttle disc to stably ascend.The dynamic resistance ratio formula is deduced.When the area of the end of the piston rod is reduced,the resistance of the throttle disc is reduced and the jet power is increased,thus solving the problem of insufficient power of the piston rod in the upstroke and ensuring the normal operation of the tool.Ten groups of numerical simulation tests were carried out,and it was found that the pressure amplitude and pressure drop of the tool decreased significantly with the increase of the tool size,and the error between the numerical simulation value and the theoretical calculation value was less than 9%,which verified the correctness of the theory.It is suggested to select tools on site according to the drilling construction situation to ensure the drilling effect.

The paper presents results of phenol oxidized under the conditions of high temperature created during collapse of cavitation bubbles.The degradation efficiency has been greatly improved by using cavitation water jets combined with H2O2 as demonstrated in laboratory tests.Various factors affecting phenol removal ratio were ex-amined and the degradation mechanism was revealed by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The re-sults showed that 99.85% of phenol was mineralized when phenol concentration was 100 mg·L-1 with pH value of 3.0,H2O2 concentration of 300 mg·L-1,confining pressure of 0.5 MPa,and pumping pressure of 20 MPa.The in-termediate products after phenol oxidation were composed of catechol,hydroquinone and p-benzoquinone.Finally,phenol was degraded into maleic acid and acetic acid.Furthermore,a dynamic model of phenol oxidation via cavi-tation water jets combined with H2O2 has been developed.

Jet Flapping Control with Acoustic Excitation

The dynamics of flapping motion of a rectangular jet under acoustic excitation is studied experimentally by means of hot-wire measurement and flow visualization with smoke method. The excitation sufficiently enables“phase-lock”, which permitted us to extract the organized wave motion from a background field of finite turbulent fluctuations. The mean and fluctuation velocity are investigated and focused on the excitation frequency and the Reynolds number. As the excitation frequency decreases, it was found that the jet flapping and the jet spread were enhanced. The excitation with sub-harmonic frequency has significant effects on the rectangular jet behavior. The maximum value of the periodic velocity fluctuation strongly depends on the excitation frequency.

Computational Film Cooling Effectiveness of Dual Trench Configuration on Flat Plate at Moderate Blowing Ratios

In the present work, computational simulations was made using ANSYS CFX to predict the improvements in film cooling performance with dual trench. Dual-trench confguradon consists of two trenches together, one wider trench and the other is narrow trench that extruded from the wider one. Several blowing ratios in the range （0.5：5） were investigated. The pitch-to-diameter ratio of 2.775 is used. By using the dual trench configuration, the coolant jet impacted the trench wall two times allowing increasing the spreading of coolant laterally in the trench, reducing jet velocity and jet completely covered on the surface. The results indicate that this configuration increased adiabatic effectiveness as blowing ratio increased. The spatially averaged adiabatic effectiveness reached 57.6% for at M= 2. No observed film blow-off at all blowing ratios. The adiabatic film effectiveness of dual trench case outperformed the narrow trench case, laidback fan-shaped hole, fan-shaped hole and cylinder hole at different blowing ratios.

Jet Noise Reduction of Double-Mixing Exhaust System

A jet noise reduction technique by using the external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer in the double-mixing exhaust system is investigated under cold conditions.The computations of jet field and the experiments of noise field are conducted with scaled model of high-bypass-ratio turbofan engine mixing exhaust system composed of external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer.The computational results indicate that comparing with the baseline nozzle with lobed mixer,the external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer increases mixing of jet and ambient air near the nozzle exit.The experimental results show that the external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer has better jet noise reduction at low frequencies,and this reduction rises with the increase of chevron bend angle.The experimental results also show that the external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer has sound pressure level(SPL)increase which is not obvious at high frequencies.With chevron bend angle increasing,SPL has relatively marked increase at 60°(directivity angle measured from upstream jet axis)and little fluctuations at 90°and 150°.The external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer has overall sound pressure level(OASPL)reduction in varying degrees at 60°and 150°,but it has little OASPL increase at 90°.

On two distinct Reynolds number regimes of a turbulent square jet

The effects of Reynolds number on both large-scale and small-scale turbulence properties are investigated in a square jet issuing from a square pipe. The detailed velocity fields were measured at five different exit Reynolds numbers of 8 × 10^3 〈 Re 〈 5 × 10^4. It is found that both large-scale properties （e.g,, rates of mean velocity decay and spread） and small-scale properties （e.g., the dimensionless dissipation rate constant A = εL/（u^2）^3/2） are dependent on Re for Re ≤ 3 ×10^4 or Reλ ≤ 190, but virtually become Re-independent with increasing Re or Reλ. In addition, for Reλ 〉 190, the value ofA = εL/（u^2）^3/2 in the present square jet converges to 0.5, which is consistent with the observation in direct numerical simulations of box turbulence, but lower than that in circular jet, plate wake flows, and grid turbulence. The discrepancies in critical Reynolds number and A = εL/（u^2）^3/2 among different turbulent flows most likely result from the flow type and initial conditions.
