Furthermore, a differential equation of pressure distributions on the hydrofoil surface is derived, from which it is found that BVF (boundary vortex flux) σ is a suitable criterion for describing the lift coefficient variations during the electromagnetic control process. According to our numerical results, the periodic variations of lift for a hydrofoil at an attack angle of 17 ° are analyzed and its inherent mechanism is discussed in detail with the concept of BVE On the other hand, the effects of Lorentz force on the hydrofoil's lift are investigated both experimentally and numerically for different magnitudes and locations.展开更多

Based on a detailed analysis of the forces acting on the entrained droplets, one method taking account of the correction of droplet terminal settling velocity due to shear lift force was proposed to modify the droplet turbulent diffusion model. By such a modification the calculated errors of decay coefficient for horizontal oil/gas two-phase separated flow was reduced greatly. As a result, the lift force is one of the important factors to be considered reasonably during the study of droplet diffusion and spatial distribution for oil/gas transport.展开更多
