A reservoir with high-pressure air enabled the cylirider to achieve considerable'acceleration when it began to Work.

When the reservoir volume is less than double the cylinder volume, an increase in the reservoir volume is more effective in increasing the maximum piston velocity.展开更多

A high accuracy spectral element method (SEM) was employed to simulate the gas flow field and a Lagrangian approach was used to compute the particles movement. Numerical results showed that at the same Stokes numbers, particles would be greatly impacted by the development of the coherent structure. But with different Stokes numbers, it can be seen that the large-scale vortex structures would influence the particle flow differently. While under different Reynolds numbers (150 and 200), there are no great changes in the particle laden flow.展开更多
