A mechanical model is estab- lished by using CFD technique and packed as a "sloshing" block used in spacecraft guidance navigation and control (GNC) simulation loop. The block takes motion characteristics of the spacecraft as inputs and outputs of pertur- bative force and torques induced by propellant sloshing, thus it is more convenient for analyzing coupling effect between propellant sloshing dynamic and spacecraft GNC than using CFD packages. An example demonstrates the accuracy and the superiority of the approach. Then, the deducing process is applied to practical cases, and simulation results validate that the proposed approach is efficient for identifying the problems induced by sloshing and evaluating effectiveness of several typical designs of sloshing suppression.展开更多

CFD techniques were utilized to analyze the full three-dimensional viscous, primary/secondary flow field in a centrifugal pump impeller to determine rotordynamic forces. Multiple quasisteady solutions of an eccentric three-dimensional model at different whirl frequency ratios yielded the rotordynamic forces. The skew-symmetric stiffness, damping, and mass matrices were obtained by second-order leastsquares analysis. Simulation of the coupled primary/secondary flow field was conducted, and the complex flow characteristics in the flow field of a shroud passage were achieved including the mean velocity and pressure, as well as the eddy in a large scale of flow field due to viscosity. The rotordynainic force coefficients were calculated, and the resuhs were in good agreement with those of experiment except for the direct inertial coefficient without the consideration of whirling forces from the impeller primary flow passage.展开更多

Thus, an accurate understanding on the internal popularity distribution of media objects in streaming applications is very important for the development of efficient cache mechanisms. This letter shows that the internal popularity of popular streaming media obeys a k-transformed Zipf-like distribution through analyzing two 6-month long traces recorded at different streaming video servers of an entertainment video-on-demand provider. This empirical model can be used to design an efficient cach- ing algorithm.展开更多

The performance of microreactors is greatly affected by the velocity field in the microchannel. The flow field is disturbed by the cylindrical etch holes caused by air dust on the microchannel surface during its processing procedure. In this approach, a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is put forward to study the effect of etch holes on flow field. The influenced area of single or two concave etch holes is studied for the case of laminar flow. The hole diameter, the Reynolds number and the distance between the center of holes are found to have influences on the flow field. Numerical results indicate that the effects of etch hole on the flow field should be evaluated and the way of choosing the economic class of cleanroom for microreactor manufacture is presented.展开更多

Micro-mixing is an important aspect for fast or quasi-instantaneous reactions. Poor micro-mixing might produce more undesired by-products, leading to higher purification costs. This paper gives an extensive review and analysis of micro-mixing studies in single- and multi phase stirred tanks. The relevant experiment techniques, micro-mixing models and nurherical approaches are critically reviewed and analyzed with remarks and perspectives. The reported studies on two-phase micro-mixing experiments and on the impact of the presence of the dispersed phases on turbulence have been limited to a narrow range of conditions. More importantly, disparities widely exist among different reports. Both Lagrangian and Eulerian models are based on oversimplified assumptions, which may lead to uncertainties or even unrealistic results. A heuristic model, which is from the perspective of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and can cover the whole spectrum of scales and also focus on every subrocess, is desired in the future.展开更多

Using the approach, the designers may find the minimum of some user-defined objective functions under constrains. An example of the approach application for a surface combatant hull optimization is demonstrated. In the procedure, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is adopted for exploring the design space, and the Bezier patch method is chosen to automatically modify the geometry of bulb. The total resistance is assessed by RANS solvers. It's shown that the total resistance coefficient of the optimized design is reduced by about 6.6% comparing with the original design. The given combatant design optimization example demonstrates the practicability and superiority of the proposed approach for low carbon shipping.展开更多

Laminar and turbulent boundary layers exhibit a significantly different behavior, not only regarding skin friction but also for heat-transfer which affects the blade cooling design. The present work presents a novel and non-intrusive measurement technique to detect the transition, based on acoustic concepts. The reliability of the technique was investigated by means of boundary layer measurements over a fiat plate in subsonic flow conditions. After a preliminary assessment with a conventional Preston tube, a row of microphones were installed along the plate to correlate transition pressure fluctuations. To provide a comprehensive representation of the experiment, dedicated measurements with a fast response aerodynamic pressure probe were performed to determine the turbulence intensity and the dissipation rate upstream of the flat plate. The experimental results were systematically compared with calculations performed with three different computational fluid dynamics solvers (ANSYS-Fluent, ANSYS-CFX, OpenFOAM) and using both the k-k1-ω and the γ-Reθ transition models. Results show a fair agreement between CFD (computational fluid dynamics) predictions and the acoustic technique, suggesting that this latter might represent an interesting alternative option for transition measurements.展开更多

The role of both wind tunnels and initial test flights used to verify the validity of solutions seems to be diminishing. Big systems for three-dimensional simulations of Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI) constitute highly specialized and costly software. Most of the codes are based on many simplifications. In this paper fluid-structure interaction, taking into account the symetric manoeuvre of ultra light plane, is concerned. This phenomenon has important influence in many aeronautical applications. The method and developed system is demonstrated on ultra light I23 plane. For the first flow the comparison with experiment made in Institute of Aviation Warsaw is presented. Finally, aeroelastic simulation of full 123 aircraft configuration presents the capability of used numerical codes to analyze largescale complex geometries for manoeuvre. All computations were carried out in parallel environment for CFD mesh of order of millions tetrahedral elements.展开更多

The pressurized air flow is drawn radially inwards through the impeller rear cavity. The centripetal air flow creates a strong vortex because of high inlet tangential velocity, which results in significant pressure losses. This not only restricts the mass flow rate, but also reduces the cooling air pressure for down-stream hot com- ponents. The present study is devoted to the numerical modeling of flow in an impeller rear cavity. The simulations are can'ied out with axisymmetric and 3-D sector models for various inlet swirl ratio ,80 (0-0.6), turbulent flow parameter 2-r (0.028-0,280) with and without baffle. The baffle is a thin plate attached to the stationary wall of the cavity, and is proved to be useful in re- ducing the pressure loss of centripetal flow in the impeller rear cavity in the current paper. Further flow details in impeller rear cavity with and without baffle are displayed using CFD techniques. The CFD results show that for any specified geometry, the outlet pressure coefficient of impeller rear cavity with or without baffle depends only on the inlet swirl ratio and turbulent flow parameter. Meanwhile, the outlet pressure coefficient of the cavity with baffle is indeed smaller than that of cavity without baffle, especially for the cases with high inlet swirl ratio. The suppression of the effect of centrifugal pumping and the mixing beween the main air which is downstream of the baffle and the recirculating flow of the vortex in the stationary cavity, which are caused by the use of baffle, are the underlying reasons that lead to the reduction of outlet pressure loss.展开更多

In response to the impact of magnet fields above 10 T, the Nb3Sn conductor has been introduced. However, the AC (alternating current) loss mechanism of Nb3Sn conductor on strain has not been explored. So, it is necessary to study the AC loss calculation method with transient electromagnetic field and wide range of strain, the coupling current in complex field and current signal of field is simplified to the spectrum effects of coil excitation, and calculation technology of AC loss, which contains the frequency, magnet field, coil characteristics and other parameters, is constructed to meet the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). By comparative analysis of simulation, it is found that the AC loss calculation of the conductor with spectrum algorithm is closer to the actual project value than the traditional algorithm. For the rapid excitation, in particular plasma discharge and burst, spectrum algorithm and the traditional algorithm are consistent. For the relative error calculation of hysteresis loss and coupling loss, it is found that the coupling loss is cumulative linearly, where the hysteresis loss is not so. As a function of the amplitude, frequency and phase angle, the relative error is less than 40%. The results showed that the method of Fourier restructuring is satisfactory.展开更多

We can say that single-physics CFD has been suffciently matured in the practical point of view. The main target of existing CFD software is single-phase flows such as water and air. However, many multi-physics problems exist in engineering. Most of them consist of flow and other physics, and the interactions between different physics are very important. Obviously, multi-physics phenomena are critical in devel- oping machines and processes. A multi-physics phenomenon seems to be very complex, and it is so difficult to be predicted by adding other physics to flow phenomenon. Therefore, multi-physics CFD techniques are still under research and development. This would be caused from the facts that processing speed of current computers is not fast enough for conducting a multi-physics simulation, and furthermore physical models except for flow physics have not been suitably established. Therefore, in near future, we have to develop various physical models and ef- ficient CFD techniques, in order to success multi-physics simulations in engineering. In the present paper, I will describe the present states of multi-physics CFD simulations, and then show some numerical results such as ice accretion and electro-chemical machining process of a three-dimensional compressor blade which were obtained in my laboratory. Multi-physics CFD simulations would be a key technology in near future.展开更多

The characterization and comparison for two types of PSP were firstly conducted in an air pressure range from0.05 to 5000 Pa. The PSPs were prepared using PtTFPP as the active dye and different binders, i.e., polymer-ceramic(PC) and poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) [poly(TMSP)]. The static calibrations showed that PtTFPP/poly(TMSP) had a higher pressure sensitivity and a lower temperature dependency compared to PtTFPP/PC in this pressure range. The pressure distributions of a single and two interacting plumes impinging onto a flat plate model were measured using PSP technique. The experimental data were compared to numerical solutions that combined both the computed fluid dynamics(CFD) and direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) methods. Remarkable agreements were achieved, demonstrating the feasibility and accuracy of the numerical approach.Finally, the aerodynamic force effect of interacting plumes at different separation distances was investigated numerically.展开更多

For the rapid excitation, in particular plasma discharge and burst, spectrum algorithm and the traditional algorithm are consistent. For the relative error calculation of hysteresis loss and coupling loss, it is found that the coupling loss is cumulative linearly, where the hysteresis loss is not so. As a function of the amplitude, frequency and phase angle, the relative error is less than 40%. The results showed that the method of Fourier restructuring is satisfactory.
文摘Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is adopted as a design and analysis tool in a great number of engineering fields. We can say that single-physics CFD has been suffciently matured in the practical point of view. The main target of existing CFD software is single-phase flows such as water and air. However, many multi-physics problems exist in engineering. Most of them consist of flow and other physics, and the interactions between different physics are very important. Obviously, multi-physics phenomena are critical in devel- oping machines and processes. A multi-physics phenomenon seems to be very complex, and it is so difficult to be predicted by adding other physics to flow phenomenon. Therefore, multi-physics CFD techniques are still under research and development. This would be caused from the facts that processing speed of current computers is not fast enough for conducting a multi-physics simulation, and furthermore physical models except for flow physics have not been suitably established. Therefore, in near future, we have to develop various physical models and ef- ficient CFD techniques, in order to success multi-physics simulations in engineering. In the present paper, I will describe the present states of multi-physics CFD simulations, and then show some numerical results such as ice accretion and electro-chemical machining process of a three-dimensional compressor blade which were obtained in my laboratory. Multi-physics CFD simulations would be a key technology in near future.
文摘Pressure-sensitive paint(PSP) technique was employed to experimentally investigate the aerodynamic force effect of vacuum plume in this study. The characterization and comparison for two types of PSP were firstly conducted in an air pressure range from0.05 to 5000 Pa. The PSPs were prepared using PtTFPP as the active dye and different binders, i.e., polymer-ceramic(PC) and poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) [poly(TMSP)]. The static calibrations showed that PtTFPP/poly(TMSP) had a higher pressure sensitivity and a lower temperature dependency compared to PtTFPP/PC in this pressure range. The pressure distributions of a single and two interacting plumes impinging onto a flat plate model were measured using PSP technique. The experimental data were compared to numerical solutions that combined both the computed fluid dynamics(CFD) and direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) methods. Remarkable agreements were achieved, demonstrating the feasibility and accuracy of the numerical approach.Finally, the aerodynamic force effect of interacting plumes at different separation distances was investigated numerically.
