Numerical simulation of inlet placement on sewage characteristics in the rounded square aquaculture tank with single inlet

To improve the self-cleaning ability of aquaculture tank and the efficiency of circulating water,physical and numerical experiments were conducted on the influence of inlet structure on sewage discharge in a rounded square aquaculture tank with a single inlet.Based on the physical model of the tank,analysis of how inlet structure adjustment affects sewage discharge efficiency and flow field characteristics was conducted to provide suitable flow field conditions for sinkable solid particle discharge.In addition,an internal flow field simulation was conducted using the RNG k-εturbulence model in hydraulic drive mode.Then a solid-fluid multiphase model was created to investigate how the inlet structure affects sewage collection in the rounded square aquaculture tank with single inlet and outlet.The finding revealed that the impact of inlet structure is considerably affecting sewage collection.The conditions of C/B=0.07-0.11(the ratio of horizontal distance between the center of the inlet pipe and the tank wall(C)to length of the tank(B))andα=25°(αis the angle between the direction of the jet and the tangential direction of the arc angle)resulted in optimal sewage collection,which is similar to the flow field experiment in the rounded square aquaculture tank with single inlet and outlet.An excellent correlation was revealed between sewage collection and fluid circulation stability in the aquaculture tank.The present study provided a reference for design and optimization of circulating aquaculture tanks in aquaculture industry.

Impact of the Inlet Flow Angle and Outlet Placement on the Indoor Air Quality

This study aims to optimize the influence of the inlet inclination angle on the Indoor Air Quality(IAQ),heat,and temperature distribution in mixed convection within a two-dimensional square cavityfilled with an air-CO_(2)mixture.The air-CO_(2)mixture enters the cavity through two inlet openings positioned at the top wall,which is set at the ambient temperature(TC).Three values of the Reynolds numbers,ranging from 1000 to 2000,are considered,while the Prandtl number is kept constant(Pr=0.71).The temperature distribution and streamlines are shown for Rayleigh number(Ra)equal to 104,three inlet inclination anglesϕ(0,π/6 andπ/4)and three CO_(2)concentrations values(1500,2500,3500 ppm)applied at both hot vertical walls(maintained at a constant temperature TH).Afinite volume method is used under the assumption of two-dimensional laminarflow to solve the NavierStokes and energy equations.The results indicate that inlet inclination angle has an impact on the indoor air quality(IAQ),which,in turn,affects the heat transfer distribution and thermal comfort within the cavity.

Aerodynamic/stealth design of S-duct inlet based on discrete adjoint method

It is a major challenge for the airframe-inlet design of modern combat aircrafts,as the flow and electromagnetic wave propagation in the inlet of stealth aircraft are very complex.In this study,an aerodynamic/stealth optimization design method for an S-duct inlet is proposed.The upwind scheme is introduced to the aerodynamic adjoint equation to resolve the shock wave and flow separation.The multilevel fast multipole algorithm(MLFMA)is utilized for the stealth adjoint equation.A dorsal S-duct inlet of flying wing layout is optimized to improve the aerodynamic and stealth characteristics.Both the aerodynamic and stealth characteristics of the inlet are effectively improved.Finally,the optimization results are analyzed,and it shows that the main contradiction between aerodynamic characteristics and stealth characteristics is the centerline and crosssectional area.The S-duct is smoothed,and the cross-sectional area is increased to improve the aerodynamic characteristics,while it is completely opposite for the stealth design.The radar cross section(RCS)is reduced by phase cancelation for low frequency conditions.The method is suitable for the aerodynamic/stealth design of the aircraft airframe-inlet system.

Relationships Between Tidal Prism and Throat Area of Tidal Inlets Along Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea Coasts

The relationship between P (spring tidal prism) and A (throat area below mean sea level) is statistically analysed in terms of 29 tidal inlets or bays along the Huanghai Sea (Yellow Sea) and Bohai Sea coasts. For 15 of these tidal inlets, the best regression equation is A(km2) = 0.845 />(km3)1.20. The analysis shows that C and n are little different from those in the P-A relationship for the inlets of the South China Sea and East China Sea coasts. It is noted that the relationship between P and A is unstable because of the difference in sediment abundance. The study shows that a united P-A relationship can be obtained for the tidal inlets of lagoon type and bay-drowned-valley type, not containing some half-circle shape bays which confront deep water. These half-circle bays do not belong to tidal inlets because they do not have enough sediment abundance and are fairly open.

Weather induced subtidal flows through multiple inlets of an arctic microtidal lagoon

Estuarine processes in the arctic lagoons are among the least studied but important subjects, especially considering the rapid warming of arctic water which may change the length of ice-free period in the summer. In this paper, wind-driven exchange flows in the micro-tidal Elson Lagoon of northern Alaska with multiple inlets of contrasting widths and depths are studied with in situ observations, statistical analysis, numerical experiments, a regression model on the basis of dynamics, and remote sensing data. Water velocity profiles were obtained from a bottom deployed acoustic Doppler current profiler(ADCP) in the northwestern Eluitkak Pass connecting the Beaufort Sea to the Elson Lagoon during a 4.9 day ice-free period in the summer of 2013. The subtidal flow is found correlated with wind(R^2 value ～96%). Frequently occurring east, northeast and north winds from the arctic atmospheric high-and low-pressure systems push water from the Beaufort Sea into the lagoon through the wide inlets on the eastern side of the lagoon, resulting in an outward flow against the wind at the narrow northwestern inlet. The counter-wind flow is a result of an uneven wind forcing acting through the asymmetric inlets and depth,an effect of "torque" or vorticity. Under northwest wind, the exchange flow at the northwestern inlet reverses its direction, with inward flows through the upwind northwestern inlet and outward flows through the downwind eastern inlets. A regression model is established based on the momentum equations and Taylor series expansions. The model is used to predict flows in July and August of 2015 and July of 2017, supported by available Landsat satellite images. About 73%–80% of the time the flows at Eluitkak Pass are out of Elson Lagoon for the summer of 2015 and 2017. Numerical experiments are conducted to corroborate the findings and illustrate the effects under various wind conditions. A quasi-steady state balance between wind force and surface pressure gradient is confirmed.

Classification performance of model coal mill classifiers with swirling and non-swirling inlets

The classification performance of model coal mill classifiers with different bottom incoming flow inlets was experimentally and numerically studied.The flow field adjacent to two neighboring impeller blades was measured using the particle image velocimetry technique.The results showed that the flow field adjacent to two neighboring blades with the swirling inlet was significantly different from that with the non-swirling inlet.With the swirling inlet,there was a vortex located between two neighboring blades,while with the nonswirling inlet,the vortex was attached to the blade tip.The vorticity of the vortex with the non-swirling inlet was much lower than that with the swirling inlet.The classifier with the non-swirling inlet demonstrated a larger cut size than that with the swirling inlet when the impeller was stationary(~0 r·min-1).As the impeller rotational speed increased,the cut size of the cases with non-swirling and swirling inlets both decreased,and the one with the non-swirling inlet decreased more dramatically.The values of the cut size of the two classifiers were close to each other at a high impeller rotational speed(≥120 r·min-1).The overall separation efficiency of the classifier with the non-swirling inlet was lower than that with the swirling inlet,and monotonically increased as the impeller rotational speed increased.With the swirling inlet,the overall separation efficiency first increased with the impeller rotational speed and then decreased when the rotational speed was above 120 r·min-1,and the variation trend of the separation efficiency was more moderate.As the initial particle concentration increased,the cut sizes of both swirling and non-swirling inlet cases decreased first and then barely changed.At a low initial particle concentration(b 0.04 kg·m-3),the classifier with the swirling inlet had a larger cut size than that with the non-swirling inlet.

Influence of two inlets of the Luzon overflow on the deep circulation in the northern South China Sea

An inverse reduced-gravity model is used to simulate the deep South China Sea(SCS)circulation.A set of experiments are conducted using this model to study the influence of the Luzon overflow through the two inlets on the deep circulation in the northern SCS.Model results suggest that the relative contribution of these inlets largely depends on the magnitude of the input transport of the overflow,but the northern inlet is more efficient than the southern inlet in driving the deep circulation in the northern SCS.When all of the Luzon overflow occurs through the northern inlet the deep circulation in the northern SCS is enhanced.Conversely,when all of the Luzon overflow occurs through the southern inlet the circulation in the northern SCS is weakened.A Lagrangian trajectory model is also developed and applied to these cases.The Lagrangian results indicate that the location of the Luzon overflow likely has impacts upon the sediment transport into the northern SCS.

Aggregated morphodynamic modelling of tidal inlets and estuaries

Aggregation is used to represent the real world in a model at an appropriate level of abstraction.We used the convection-diffusion equation to examine the implications of aggregation progressing from a three-dimensional(3D)spatial description to a model representing a system as a single box that exchanges sediment with the adjacent environment.We highlight how all models depend on some forms of parametric closure,which need to be chosen to suit the scale of aggregation adopted in the model.All such models are therefore aggregated and make use of some empirical relationships to deal with sub-scale processes.One such appropriately aggregated model,the model for the aggregated scale morphological interaction between tidal basin and adjacent coast(ASMITA),is examined in more detail and used to illustrate the insight that this level of aggregation can bring to a problem by considering how tidal inlets and estuaries are impacted by sea level rise.

Influence of Tidal Inlets on Tsunami Waves in the Atlantic （Charente Region, France）

The French Atlantic coast seismicity is minor to moderate. Nevertheless, in western （north and central） part of France, the active tectonics related to the south Armorican and the Bay of Biscay context results sometimes in shallow earthquakes with magnitude above five （e.g., the Oleron seismic crisis, magnitude （local） = 5.2, 1972）. The Charente region is featured by semi-diurnal tides that reach about six meters in height during the high tide period. Inlets are the main features of the Atlantic margin geomorphology nearby the Charente. Minor tsunamis have been observed and reported in the past. Here, we present a tsunami modelling computed with the TELEMAC package that solves the non linear shallow water equations. This work helps to identify the role of the inlets that characterize the Charente＇s geomorphology on water wave＇s propagation. A tidal model is considered while the tsunami simulation is performed. The modelling results show that the Antioche, the Maumusson and the Pertuis inlets protect the Charente coast from destructive waves.

Managing Tidal Inlets

Sandy inlets are in a dynamic equilibrium between wave-driven littoral drift acting to close them,and tidal flows keeping them open.Their beds are in a continual state of suspension and deposition,so their bathymetry and even location are always in flux.Even so,a nearly linear relationship between an inlet’s cross-sectional flow area and the inshore tidal prism is maintained-except when major wind and/or runoff events act to close or widen an inlet.Inlet location can be stabilized by jetties,but dredging may still be necessary to maintain a navigable channel.Armoring with rock large enough to resist erosion can protect an inlet bed or river mouth from excessive storm flow erosion.Armoring can also be used as a stratagem to close inlets.

为了研究T型微通道入口角度对非牛顿微液滴制备影响,采用流体体积(VOF)模型对聚丙烯酰胺水溶液微液滴形成过程进行数值模拟,开展高速数码显微实验对数值模拟结果进行验证。结果表明:在相同工况条件下,非牛顿微液滴生成频率随着分散相入口角度的增大呈先增大后减小的趋势,相对长度呈现先减小后增大的趋势。在入口角度小于90°时,随着入口角度的增加,微通道内两相平均压差、液滴断裂时刻两相压差最低值随之升高,在入口角度大于90°时,上述压差则随着入口角度的增加而降低。考虑两相体积流量比与连续相毛细数并引入关于分散相入口角度的修正系数,提出聚丙烯酰胺水溶液微液滴相对长度预测公式,为剪切变稀流体微液滴制备提供参考。

宽速域可调进气道密封腔流动特性研究

为了满足高超声速飞行器的宽速域进气需求,一般考虑使用可调进气道,此时进气道内部需要安装动密封结构。陶瓷栅片密封凭借其优异的耐磨损性和抗高温氧化能力是最理想的选择。使用陶瓷栅片作为密封件后,密封室内会形成受侧板边界层影响的三维空腔流动。以密封腔模型为基础,提出对密封腔流动和泄漏通道流动解耦化处理,并分别对进气道密封模型和泄漏模型进行了建模。利用数值模拟方法,改变来流边界层厚度以及来流速度研究不同来流条件对长密封腔结构类型流动特性及泄漏规律的影响。分析发现,长密封腔在Ma4.5高超声速来流下表现为开式空腔流动,对边界层厚度以及来流马赫数的变化相较于短密封腔更为敏感;来流马赫数的改变使得密封腔内流动结构变化较大,相应泄漏通道的入口压力分布也存在很大区别。

变弯度导叶铰接位置对风扇振动特性的影响

针对变弯度导叶尾迹激励引起的转子叶片共振,基于谐响应模态叠加法对风扇转子进行强迫振动分析,研究了不同铰接位置的变弯度导叶对风扇气动性能及其振动特性的影响。结果表明,随着铰接位置向尾缘移动,风扇转子流量、压比和效率增加,稳定裕度降低,主要影响下游转子叶根部位的进气角度。在气动激励方面,随着铰接位置后移,转子叶片表面的压力幅值增大,相位变化剧烈,通过将非定常气动力转换到模态空间中,可以看到叶片所受模态气动力在铰接位置为35%C (C为轴向弦长)的情况下达到最大值,后呈现先减小后增加的规律,这与振动响应的变化规律一致。铰接位置对所关注的高阶局部模态的气动阻尼影响较小,最大差异为0.046%。在振动响应方面,转子叶片的振动应力随铰接位置剧烈改变,且为非单调变化。在设计位置处叶片的振动应力最小,在35%C处振动应力达到设计位置的15倍。对于本文所研究的模型及工况,最优铰接位置为45%C,与仅考虑气动性能的25%C不同。因此在变弯度导叶设计时,需要考虑其对叶片振动特性的影响。

导流洞双层进水口优化与传统进水口对比研究

为了研究导流洞双层进水口优化体型后的水力特性,并对其与传统进水口布置进行比较,基于某抽水蓄能电站导流洞的设计参数,采用Fluent软件中的VOF水动力模型进行了三维数值模拟.通过改变竖井宽度,即改变水平洞与竖井进口面积比、去除竖井以及采用常规喇叭口进水口3种方案,对双层进水口进行了比较分析.分析重点包括相对流量、水流弗劳德数、相对压强以及水头损失系数等4个方面的特性.研究结果表明:面积比的变化对双层进水口的流量分配和流速分布产生了显著影响.相比于去除竖井的水平进水口,双层进水口在增加泄流量、降低进水口水头损失方面具有明显优势.在孔流流态下,双层进水口的泄流能力已接近单独采用喇叭口泄洪洞.结果显示,双层进水口的泄流主要以竖井下泄为主.在孔流流态时,双层进水口的泄流受下游泄洪洞断面的控制.其独特优势在于能快速对导流期的水平洞进行封堵,并在运行期间迅速进行泄放洞的改建,以便尽快进入运行状态.
