Numerical investigation on the flow and power of small-sized multi-bladed straight Darrieus wind turbine

Straight Darrieus wind turbine has attractive characteristics such as the ability to accept wind from random direction and easy installation and maintenance. But its aerodynamic performance is very complicated,especially for the existence of dynamic stall. How to get better aerodynamic performance arouses lots of interests in the design procedure of a straight Darrieus wind turbine. In this paper,mainly the effects of number of blades and tip speed ratio are discussed. Based on the numerical investigation,an assumed asymmetric straight Darrieus wind turbine is proposed to improve the averaged power coefficient. As to the numerical method,the flow around the turbine is simulated by solving the 2D unsteady Navier-Stokes equation combined with continuous equation. The time marching method on a body-fitted coordinate system based on MAC (Marker-and-Cell) method is used. O-type grid is generated for the whole calculation domain. The characteristics of tangential and normal force are discussed related with dynamic stall of the blade. Averaged power coefficient per period of rotating is calculated to evaluate the eligibility of the turbine.

Aerodynamics of flexible wing in bees' hovering flight

The aerodynamics of 2-dimensional flexible wings in bees＇ normal hovering flight is studied. Four insect flapping flight coordinate systems, including a global system, a bodyfixed system, a rigid wing-fixed system and a flexible wingfixed system, are established to represent the insects＇ position, gesture, wing movement and wing deformation, respectively. Then the transformations among four coordinate systems are studied. It is found that the elliptic coordinate system can improve the computation accuracy and reduce the calculation complexity in a 2-dimensional rigid wing. The computation model of a 2-dimensional flexible wing is established, and the changes of the force, moment, and power are investigated. According to the computation results, the large lift and drag peaks at the beginning and end of the stroke can be explained by the superposition of the rapid translational acceleration, the fast pitching-up rotation and the Magnus effect; and the small force and drag peaks can be explained by the convex flow effect and the concave flow effect. Compared with the pressure force, pressure moment and translational power, the viscous force, viscous moment and rotational power are small and can be ignored.

Liquid Circulation in a Multi-tube Air-lift Loop Reactor

A multi-tube air-lift loop reactor (MT-ALR) is presented in this paper. Based on the energy conservation, a mathematical model describing the liquid circulation flow rate was developed, which was determined by gas velocity, the cross areas of riser and downcomer, gas hold-up and the local frictional loss coefficient. The experimental data indicate that either increase of gas flow rate or reduction of the downcomer diameter contributes to higher liquid circulation rate. The correlation between total and the local frictional loss coefficients was also established.Effects of gas flowrate in two risers and diameter of downcomer on the liquid circulation rate were examined. The value of total frictional loss coefficient was measured as a function of the cross area of downcomer and independent of the gas flow rate. The calculated results of liquid circulation rates agreed well with the experimental data with an average relative error of 9.6%.

Developments in the understanding of gas–solid contact efficiency in the circulating fluidized bed riser reactor:A review

In the last several decades, circulating fluidized bed reactors have been studied in many aspects including hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer and gas–solid two phase contacting. However, despite the abundance of review papers on hydrodynamics, there is no summary paper on gas–solid contact efficiency to date, especially on high density circulating fluidized beds(CFBs). This paper gives an introduction to, and a review of the measurement of contact efficiency in circulating fluidized bed riser. Firstly, the popular testing method of contact efficiency including the method of heating transfer experiment and hot model reaction are discussed, then previous published papers are reviewed based on the discussed methods. Some key results of the experimental work are described and discussed. Gas–solid contact efficiency is affected by the operating conditions as well as the particle size distribution. The result of the contact efficiency shows that the CFB riser is far away from an ideal plug flow reactor due to the characteristics of hydrodynamics in the riser. Lacunae in the available literature have been delineated and recommendations have been made for further work.

Superfluid Fermi Gases in a Rotating Anharmonic Trap

The quadrupole mode frequency, the monopole mode frequency, and the critical rotational frequency for stirring a single vortex nucleation along the BEC-BCS crossover are obtained. The results show that, in a rotating anisotropic anharmonic trap, the quadrupole mode frequency and the critical rotational frequency for stirring a single vortex nucleation are modified significantly when the system crosses from the BEC side to the BCS side： the anisotropy of the trap induces a downshiff of the quadrupole mode frequency and the critical rotational frequency and helps the vortex formation in the system, while an anharmonic trap induces an upshift of the quadrupole mode frequency and the critical rotational frequency and suppresses the vortex formation in the system.

Responses of Hydrological Processes to Climate Change in the Zhujiang River Basin in the 21st Century

In this study, discharge at the outlet of Xijiang River, the biggest sub-basin of the Zhujiang River, was simulated and projected from 1961 to 2099 using the hydrological model HBV-D. The model uses precipitation and temperature data from CISRO/MK3 5, MPI/ECHAM5, and NCAR/CCSM3 under three greenhouse gas emission scenarios (SRES A2, A1B, B1). The results in water resources and flood frequency suggest that annual precipitation and annual runoff would increase after 2050 relative to the reference period of 1961-1990. In addition, increasing trends have been projected in area averaged monthly precipitation and runoff from May to October, while decreasing trends in those from December to February. More often and larger floods would occur in future. Potential increase in runoff during the low-flow season could ease the pressure of water demand until 2030, but the increase in runoff in the high-flow season, with more often and larger floods, more pressure on flood control after 2050 is expected.

A Study on Improvement of RANS Analysis for Erosion of Density Stratified Layer of Multicomponent Gas by Buoyant Jet in a Containment Vessel

The analysis on a density stratification layer consisting of multiple gases in the reactor containment vessel is important for the safety assessment of sever accidents. The JAEA （Japan Atomic Energy Agency） has started the project on the containment thermal hydraulics. We carried out CFD （computational fluid dynamics） analyses in order to investigate the erosion of the density stratification layer by a vertical buoyant jet under this project. We used the RANS （Reynolds averaged numerical simulation） and LES （large eddy simulation） models to analyze the erosion of a density stratification layer by a vertical buoyant jet in a small vessel which represents a containment vessel. This numerical study calculates the turbulent mixing of a two-component （air and helium） gas mixture. The turbulence models used for the RANS analyses are two types of k-ε models. The first model is the low Reynolds number k-ε model developed by Launder and Sharma. The second model is modified from the first model in order to accurately consider the turbulent production and damping in a stratification layer. The results indicated while the erosion rate calculated by the low-Re k-ε model was much faster than that of the LES model, the modified k-ε model could calculate the erosion rate similar to the LES result.

Study of Multilayer Flow Insulation Utilizing Open-Cellular Porous Plates

To improve the performance of the single layer flow insulation system utilizing open-cellular porous plate, the multilayer porous gas enthalpy-radiation converter is proposed and investigated experimentally and theoretically. Two open-cellular porous materials with different porosity pore per inch and surface reflectivity have been examined. Each porous plate has the same thickness of a half of the single layer one. Both porous materials are not combined continuously but divided by free space. For the prediction model, two energy equations of the fluid and solid phases are employed, in which the convective heat transfer between both phases is described based on the empirical volumetric heat transfer coefficient. In addition, the radiative transfer equations are resolved by Pj approximation. When an equivalent blackbody radiation temperature of the radiation coming from the upstream region exceeds inlet gas temperature, use of a high reflective porous plate on the upstream side and a low reflective porous plate on the downstream side is quite effective to increase gas temperature drop across the converter. the multilayer porous converter should be made of pure scattering and porous layer, respectively. In order to obtain maximum gas temperature drop in that case, pure absorbing porous plate as the upstream and downstream

Numerical investigation of turbulent bubbly wakes created by the ventilated partial cavity

This paper presents a numerical study on the turbulent bubbly wakes created by the ventilated partial cavity.A semi-empirical approach is introduced to model the discrete interface of the ventilated cavity and its complex gas leakage rate induced by the local turbulent shear stress.Based on the Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid modeling framework,a population balance approach based on MUltiple-SIze-Group (MUSIG) model is incorporated to simulate the size evolution of the sheared off microbubbles and its complex interactions with the two-phase flow structure in the wake region.Numerical predictions at various axial locations downstream of the test body were in satisfactory agreement with the experimental measurements.The captured bubbly wake structure illustrates that the bubbles may disperse as a twin-vortex tube driven by gravity effect.The predicted Sauter mean bubble diameter has confirmed the dominance of the coleascense process in the axial direction.As the bubbles develop downstream,the coleascense and breakup rate gradually reach balance,resulting in the stable bubble diameter.A close examination of the flow structures,gas void fraction distributions and the bubble size evolution provides valuable insights into the complex physical phenomenon induced by ventilated cavity.

Constructal design for a steam generator based on entransy dissipation extremum principle

Steam generator is optimized by applying entransy dissipation extremum principle and constructal theory and adopting analyti-cal method.The obtained results show that the optimal spacing between adjacent tubes,the mass flow rate of gas and the maximum entransy dissipation rate all depend on the dimensionless diameter of one tube,the dimensionless pressure difference number and the dimensionless length of flow channel of gas.Besides the three dimensionless groups,the optimal numbers of riser tubes and downcomer tubes and their summation all depend on the dimensionless height of one tube.The maximum entransy dissipation rate increases as the pressure difference that drives the gas flowing increases,and as the diameter of one tube and the length of flow channel both decrease.The mean heat flux in the heat transfer process of hot gas grows greatly,and the performance of the system is improved.Compared with the optimal construct with heat transfer rate maximization,the optimal construct with entransy dissipation rate maximization can improved the heat transfer effect of the steam generator more.

Nodal Topological Phases in s-wave Superfluid of Ultracold Fermionic Gases

The gapless Weyl superfluid has been widely studied in the three-dimensional ultracold fermionic superfluid. In contrast to Weyl superfluid, there exists another kind of gapless superfluid with topologically protected nodal lines, which can be regarded as the superttuid counterpart of nodal line semimetal in the condensed matter physics, just as Weyl superfluid with Weyl semimetal. In this paper we study the ground states of the cold fermionic gases in cubic optical lattices with one-dimensional spin-orbit coupling and transverse Zeeman field and map out the topological phase diagram of the system. We demonstrate that in addition to a fully gapped topologically trivial phase, some different nodal line superfluid phases appear when the Zeeman field is adjusted. The presence of topologically stable nodal lines implies the dispersionless zero-energy fiat band in a finite region of the surface Brillouin zone. Experimentally these nodal line superfluid states can be detected via the momentum-resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy. The nodal line topological superfluid provide fertile grounds for exploring exotic quantum matters in the context of ultraeold atoms.

The effect of MWCNTs on the performance of α-sexithiophene OTFT device and its gas-sensing property

In this paper,bottom contact organic thin-film transistor(OTFT)gas sensors were prepared.Silicon dioxide(SiO2)and titanium/aurum(Ti/Au)were used as the insulating layer and the electrode for the device,respectively.The multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs)/α-sexithiophene(α-6T)bilayer films were used as the active layer,andα-6T single layer sensitive film was also prepared for comparison purpose.The electrical and trace NO2-sening properties of these two OTFT gas sensors were tested and analyzed.The results showed that,the OTFT device based on MWCNTs/α-6T bilayer had obviously better electrical properties,better stabilities and higher NO2-sening response values than the device withα-6T single layer,in which both the carrier mobility(μ)and on/off current ratio enhanced two order of magnitude.The improved performance of bilayer OTFT can be explained that MWCNTs acted as highly conducting bridges connecting the crystalline terraces in theα-6T film.Threshold voltage(VT),carrier mobility,on/off current ratio and grid current which showed extremely similar variation trend as source-drain current,were optional parameters to reveal the gas-sensing characteristic of OTFT gas sensors.Morphology analysis showed that the special feature of MWCNTs had certain influence on the gas-sensing properties.
