航速、横流对艏侧推侧向力的影响

文章以艏侧推为研究对象,在浅水拖曳水池试验室测试设备的基础上,开发了一套安装在拖车上可用于研究航速、横流流速对艏侧推水动力性能影响的试验装置,并模拟某工程船的实际使用工况,在浅水池中进行了模型试验研究与机理分析。试验结果分析表明,康达效应的作用导致船体在出流口一侧产生负压,艏侧推产生的侧向力随着航速的增加呈现递减的趋势,在4kn航速下,艏侧推产生的推力为零航速下的54.9%;艏侧推产生的侧向力随着横流流速的增加呈现递减的趋势,这主要是因为一方面横流对船体的作用力增大,另一反面槽道进出口两边压力差发生改变导致的。横流流速与推力方向相反时,3kn横流流速工况下,艏侧推产生的推力为无横流工况下的67.4%;横流流速与推力方向相同时,3kn横流流速工况下艏侧推产生的推力为无横流工况下的53.2%。研究结果为工程船在作业过程中更好地使用艏侧推提供数据支撑。

日照港LNG码头配套航道及防波堤工程方案

日照港岚山港区北作业区规划新增LNG码头,针对其配套航道及防波堤工程平面布置问题,提出3个方案。采用数值模拟方法,推算不同方案下港池、航道,尤其是口门处的测点流速。计算结果表明,工程建设后,港池内各点在防波堤掩护下流速有所降低;受防波堤挑流作用的影响,口门位置处横流流速达到最大;以方案2流速相对较小,且流速大于某一值的持续时间较短。在方案2基础上进行优化,将一段防波堤调整为导流堤,由于导流堤上方可通过一部分水体,堤头附近航道横流有所减小。

Mixing times in single and multi-orifice-impinging transverse(MOIT) jet mixers with crossflow

We study the macromixing behavior of single and multi-orifice-impinging transverse(MOIT) jet mixers with crossflow, in particular, the overall mixing time and the back-splash mixing time of the injected flow with the crossflow, using the PLIF technique. It is found that for a given mixer configuration, there is a critical jet-tocrossflow velocity ratio rcat which the back-splash begins to occur. Further increase in the velocity ratio r leads to sharp increase in the back-splash mixing time, which can offset the intensification of the downstream mixing. The dimensionless overall mixing time decreases as r increases to reach either a plateau or a local minimum, and the corresponding r value represents the optimal velocity ratio roptfor the macromixing. The momentum ratio of the two liquid streams is a key factor determining rcand ropt. For a larger scale mixer, a higher momentum ratio is required to achieve the optimal macromixing with the minimum dimensionless overall mixing time.

Swirl Jets in Crossflow at Low Velocity Ratios

This investigation examines experimentally the behavior of swirled jets produced by axial flow fans blowing into a crossflow at low velocity ratios. The main difference with non-swirl cases is an asymmetry of the dominant kidney vortex and a slight distortion of the jet trace downstream of the injection hole. The effect of jet rotation at relatively low swirl numbers and similar velocity ratios is also investigated by a validated computational analysis tool. The numerical results are analyzed by means of various post-processing procedures, aiming to clarify, quantify and analyze the impact of swirl on the characteristics and the flow domain of a jet in crossflow. In general, swirl introduces an asymmetry in all examined quantities and prevents the penetration of the jet into the crossflow, causing the jet to remain closer to the wall surface. The rotation of the injected fluid results in an imparity of the two parts of the Counter Rotating Vortex Pair （CVP） which is no longer symmetric to the axial centerline plane. High swirl numbers result in the destruction of the CVP and the dominant kidney shape vortex is transformed into a comma shape vortex, rotating close to the wall.

Experimental investigation on transverse jet penetration into a supersonic turbulent crossflow

The paper evaluates the evolvement of coherent structures and penetration height of gaseous transverse jet penetration into a supersonic turbulent flow.The high spatiotemporal resolution coherent structures of the jet plume are obtained by utilizing the nanoparticle-based planar laser scattering technique(NPLS).The evolving pattern of the coherent structures generated on the upwind surface of the transverse jet is analyzed based on the NPLS images.The shedding eddies from the jet near-field have lower convection velocity along freestream direction,while vortex growth rate is apparently higher than the far-field.Farther downstream,the large-scale eddies have less deformation and translate at velocities near the freestream velocity.Thus the near-field determines the scale of eddies in the far-field and affects the whole mixing process.The effect of injection stagnation pressure on the coherent structures is discussed and a modified penetration correlation is proposed based on an edge approximation definition and least square method with various injection pressures.

Experimental investigation on flow characteristics of a transverse jet with an upstream vortex generator

This paper aims at probing the flow characteristics of a jet in supersonic crossflow(JISC)by installing a vortex generator(VG)upstream of the jet orifice.Nanoparticle planar laser scattering(NPLS)and stereo-particle image velocimetry(SPIV)technologies were employed to observe the flowfield,and three cases were designed for comparison.CASE0 stands for JISC without passive VG.In CASE1 and CASE2,VG is installed at 20 mm and 80 mm upstream away from the jet orifice,respectively.Transient flow structures show that two flow modes exist when the VG wake interacts with the JISC.In CASE1,vortices are induced from both sides of the jet plume because of the VG wake.This leads to a complex streamwise vortex system.Penetration and lateral diffusion are enhanced.In CASE2,intermittent large-scale eddies in the VG wake cause large streamwise vortices at the windward side of the jet.The penetration depth is also enhanced while the lateral diffusion is restrained.In addition,experimental results show that the penetration depth is approximately 8.5%higher in CASE1 than that in CASE0,and the lateral diffusion is larger by about 17.0%.In CASE2,the penetration is increased by about 26.2%,while the lateral diffusion is enhanced by just 0.5%.

Mixing Characteristics of Pulsed Air-assist Liquid Jet into an Internal Subsonic Cross-flow

Penetration depth,spray dispersion angle,droplet sizes in breakup processes and atomization processes are very important parameters in combustor of air-breathing engine.These processes will enhance air/fuel mixing inside the combustor.Experimental results from the pulsed air-assist liquid jet injected into a cross-flow are investigated.And experiments were conducted to a range of cross-flow velocities from 42～136 m/s.Air is injected with 0～300kPa,with air-assist pulsation frequency of 0～20Hz.Pulsation frequency was modulated by solenoid valve.Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer(PDPA) was utilized to quantitatively measuring droplet characteristics.High-speed CCD camera was used to obtain injected spray structure.Pulsed air-assist liquid jet will offer rapid mixing and good liquid jet penetration.Air-assist makes a very fine droplet which generated mist-like spray.Pulsed air-assist liquid jet will introduce additional supplementary turbulent mixing and control of penetration depth into a cross-flow field.The results show that pulsation frequency has an effect on penetration,transverse velocities and droplet sizes.The experimental data generated in these studies are used for a development of active control strategies to optimize the liquid jet penetration in subsonic cross-flow conditions and predict combustion low frequency instability.
