To better understand the impact of varying width, a flume experiment with adjustable width and a depth-averaged two-dimension numerical model were used to analyze the variations of flow parameters. Our experimental results showed that flow velocity gradually increased with decreasing water depth in converging region, and decreased with increasing water depth in diverging zones. It was also found that the turbulence intensity laws in three directions were not agreed with the theoretical relationships proposed by Nezu and Nakagawa in 1993 in straight open channel flows. The flow in the channel with varying width may change from the supercritical flow to the subcritical flow as a function of Froude number. Our numerical simulations with different flow rates showed that most of the hydraulic jumps in diverging region were submerged jump and the degree of submergence increased with increasing flow rate in gradual channel transition. When the flow rate increased, the range of supercritical flow rapidly decreased and the flow changed from the supercritieal condition to the subcritical condition in diverging sections.展开更多

In the first place, the thermal properties of carbon dioxide near its liquid-vapor critical point are discussed. It is calcu- lated that the heat capacity ratio and isobaric expansion coefficient of supercritical fluids are extremely high. Furthermore, the simulation for piston effect in supereritical carbon dioxide between two infinite vertical walls is presented. The numerical results prove that piston effect has a much faster speed of heat transfer than thermal conduction under mierogravity conditions. Moreover, the piston effect turns out to be stronger when closer to the critical point.展开更多
