The calculations were performed by means of solving the 2-D Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations with a k-ε turbulence model. The calculated results, produced flow structure drag and lift coefficients, as well as Strouhal numbers. The findings were in good agreement with previous published data, which also supplied us with a good understanding of the flow across cylinders of different high Reynolds numbers. Meanwhile, an effective measure was presented to control the lift force on a cylinder, which points the way to decrease the vortex induced vibration of marine structure in future.展开更多

The DES used here is based on the Spalart–Allmaras(SA) turbulence model, whereas the standard k-ε(SKE) was considered here for comparison purposes. Predictions of the mean axial velocity, temperature and humidity profile have been evaluated and compared with experimental measurements. The effects of the turbulence model on the predictions of the mean axial velocity, temperature and the humidity profile are most noticeable in the(highly anisotropic) spraying region. The findings suggest that DES provide a more accurate prediction(with error less than 5%) of the flow field in a spray drying chamber compared with RANS-based k-ε models. The DES simulation also confirmed the presence of anisotropic turbulent flow in the spray dryer from the analysis of the velocity component fluctuations and turbulent structure as illustrated by the Q-criterion.展开更多

Singular integral equation for the flow has been founded through distributing the sources and sinks on the symmetrical axis. The supereavity length at each moment is determined by solving the singular integral equation with finite difference method. The supercavity shape at each moment is obtained by solving the partial differential equation with variable coefficient. For the case that the wedge takes the impulse and uniformly variable motion, numerical results of time history of the supercavity length and shape are presented. The calculated results indicate that the shape and the length of the supercavity vary in a similar way to the case that the wedge takes variable motion, and there is a time lag in unsteady supercavitating flow induced by the variation of wedge velocity.展开更多

The fluid and solid areas are divided into the network comprised of branches and nodes, and the method solves transient mass, energy conservation equations at each node and momentum conservation equation at each branch by a newly deduced numerical method. With this method, to simulate complicated fluid and solid system in short time becomes possible. To verify the code developed, it has been applied to simulate a gas turbine model against the widely used commercial software Flowmaster. And the comparisons show that the two are in good agreement. Then the verified program is applied to the prediction of the characteristics of a designed turbine disk and air-cooling system associated to it, and useful information is obtained.展开更多

The Oldroyd model is viewed as one of the successful models for describing the response of a subclass of polymeric liquids, in particular the non-Newtonian behavior exhibited by these fluids. In this paper, we are concerned with the study of the unsteady flows of an incom-pressible viscoelastic fluid of an Oldroyd-B type in a blood vessel acting on a Brownian force. First we derive the orientation stress tensor considering Hookean dumbbells on Brownian configuration fields. Then we reformulate the three-dimensional Oldroyd-B model with the total stress tensor which consists of the isotropic pressure stress tensor, the shear stress tensor, and the orientation stress tensor. Finally we present the numerical simulations of the model and analyze the effect of the orientation stress tensor in the vessel.展开更多

T...The objective of this paper is to improve the understanding of the influence of multiphase flow on the turbulent closure model, the interplay between vorticity fields and cavity dynamics around a pitching hydrofoil. The effects of pitching rate on the sub- cavitating and cavitating response of the pitching hydrofoil are also investigated. In particular, we focus on the interactions between cavity inception, growth, and shedding and the vortex flow structures, and their impacts on the hydrofoil performance. The calculations are 2-D and performed by solving the incompressible, multiphase Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) equations via the commercial CFD code CFX. The k-co SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model is used along with the transport equation-based cavitation models. The density correction function is considered to reduce the eddy viscosity according to the computed local fluid mixture density. The calculation results are validated with experiments conducted by Ducoin et al. (see Computational and experimental investigation of flow over a transient pitching hydrofoil, Eur J Mech/B Fluids, 2009, 28:728-743 and An experimental analysis of fluid structure interaction of a flexible hydrofoil in vari- ous flow regimes including cavitating flow, Eur J Mech B/fluids, 2012, 36: 63-74). Results are shown for a NACA66 hydro- foil subject to slow (quasi static, t2=6~/s, &* =0.18) and fast (dynamic, &=63~/s, dr" =1.89) pitching motions from a =0~ to a =15~. Both subcavitaing (or =8.0) and cavitating (cr=3.0) flows are considered. For subcavitating flow (or=8.0), low frequency fluctuations have been observed when the leading edge vortex shedding occurs during stall, and delay of stall is ob- served with increasing pitching velocity. For cavitating flow (tr=3.0), small leading edge cavities are observed with the slow pitching case, which significantly modified the vortex dynamics at high angles of attack, leading to high frequency fluctuations of the hydrodynamic coefficients and different stall behaviors compared to the subcavitating flow at the same pitching rate. On the other hand, for the fast pitching case at or=3.0, large-scale sheet/cloud cavitation is observed, the cavity behavior is un- steady and has a strong impact on the hydrodynamic response, which leads to high amplitude fluctuations of the hydrodynamic coefficients, as well as significant changes in the stall and post-stall behavior. The numerical results also show that the local density modification helps to reduce turbulent eddy viscosity in the cavitating region, which significantly modifies the cavity lengths and shedding frequencies, particularly for the fast pitching case. In general, compared with the experimental visualiza- tions, the numerical results with local density correction have been found to agree well with experimental measurements and observations for both slow and fast transient pitching cases.展开更多

Taylor-Hood element is introduced to overcome the numerical difficulties arising from the fluid incompressibility. In order to confirm the properties of the algorithm, the numerical simulation on plane Poisseuille flow problem and lid- driven cavity flow problem with different Reynolds numbers is presented. The numerical results indicate that the proposed iterative version can be effectively applied to the simulation of viscous incompressible flows. Moreover, the proposed iterative version has a better overall performance in maximum time step size allowed, under comparable convergence rate, stability and accuracy, than other tested versions in numerical solutions of the plane PoisseuiUe flow with different Reynolds numbers ranging from low to high viscosities.展开更多
