Turbulence regime near the forest floor of a mixed broad leaved/Korean pine forest in Changbai Mountains

The measurement and observation for this study were carried out by using a three-dimensional (u, v, w) Sonic anemometer (IAP-SA 485), at Forest Ecosystem Opened Research Station of Changbai Mountains (12828扙 and 4224?N, Jilin Province, P. R. China) in August 2001. The basic characteristics of turbulence, such as turbulence intensity, atmospheric stability, time scales, and convection state, near the forest floor were analyzed. It is concluded that the airflow near forest floor is characterized by high intermittence and asymmetry, and the active and upward movement takes the leading position. Near forest floor, the vertical turbulence is retained and its time scale and length scale are much less than that of u, v components. The eddy near forest floor shows a flat structure and look like a ’Disk’. Buoyancy plays a leading role in the generation and maintenance of local turbulence

Effects of Precipitation on Sonic Anemometer Measurements of Turbulent Fluxes in the Atmospheric Surface Layer

Effects caused by precipitation on the measurements of three-dimensional sonic anemometer are analyzed based on a field observational experiment conducted in Maoming, Guangdong Province, China. Obvious fluctuations induced by precipitation are observed for the outputs of sonic anemometer-derived temperature and wind velocity components. A technique of turbulence spectra and cospectra normalized in the framework of similarity theory is utilized to validate the measured variables and calculated fluxes. It is found that the sensitivity of sonic anemometer-derived temperature to precipitation is significant, compared with that of the wind velocity components. The spectra of wind velocity and cospectra of momentum flux resemble the standard universal shape with the slopes of the spectra and cospectra at the inertial subrange, following the-2/3 and-4/3 power law, respectively, even under the condition of heavy rain. Contaminated by precipitation, however, the spectra of temperature and cospectra of sensible heat flux do not exhibit a universal shape and have obvious frequency loss at the inertial subrange. From the physical structure and working principle of sonic anemometer, a possible explanation is proposed to describe this difference, which is found to be related to the variations of precipitation particles. Corrections for errors of sonic anemometer-derived temperature under precipitation is needed, which is still under exploration.

Optimum control strategy for all-variable speed chiller plant

The optimum control strategy and the saving potential of all variable chiller plant under the conditions of changing building cooling load and cooling water supply temperature were investigated. Based on a simulation model of water source chiller plant established in dynamic transient simulation program (TRNSYS),the four-variable quadratic orthogonal regression experiments were carried out by taking cooling load,cooling water supply temperature,cooling water flow rate and chilled water flow rate as variables,and the fitting formulas expressing the relationships between the total energy consumption of chiller plant with the four selected parameters was obtained. With the SAS statistical software and MATHEMATICA mathematical software,the optimal chilled water flow rate and cooling water flow rate which result in the minimum total energy consumption were determined under continuously varying cooling load and cooling water supply temperature. With regard to a chiller plant serving an office building in Shanghai,the total energy consumptions under different control strategies were computed in terms of the forecasting function of cooling load and water source temperature. The results show that applying the optimal control strategy to the chiller plant can bring a saving of 23.27% in power compared with the corresponding conventional variable speed plant,indicating that the optimal control strategy can improve the energy efficiency of chiller plant.

The numerical results show that the two models can qualitatively reproduce some complex phenomena resulted by the two types of bus stops and that the otttine bus stop is more effective than the online bus stop when the initial density is relatively low.

Mathematical Algorithm for Calculating the Velocity Vectors of Fluid by CTA in Spherical Coordinates

This paper presents a mathematical algorithm that determines the fluid flow velocity vector （direction, intensity and orientation）, based on measured voltages on multi-channel hot-wire anemometer. As the voltage on Constant Temperature hot-wire Anemometer （CTA） is non-linear function of velocity and angle of the fluid, inverse function is also non-linear and has several mathematically correct solutions. In the Laboratory of Non-linear Mechanics at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Ljubljana, the authors have decided to try developing multi-charmel hot-wire anemometer with constant temperature at which it is possible to select physically correct solutions from several mathematically correct solutions. The mathematical algorithm works correctly if the range of instrument operation is limited for the value of spherical angles ｜φ｜≤ 60°and ｜ψ｜＇1 ≤ 58°.

The Criterion of Choosing the Proper Seeding Particles

This paper is focused on the problem of the ability of seeding particles to follow the flow field. One of the most important factors influencing the resultant accuracy of the measurement is using the proper seeding particles for feeding the flow when measuring by PIV （Particle Image Velocimetry） method. The aim of the paper is to provide comprehensible instruction for choosing the proper type of seeding particles with regard to the flow characteristics and required measurement accuracy. The paper presents two methods with the help of which it is possible to determine the seeding particles＇ ability to follow the flow field. The first method is based on the direct calculation of the phase lag and amplitude ratio between the particle and the fluid. The calculation is based on solution of the BBO （Basset Boussinesq Oseen） equation for spherical particle. The other method results from the calculation of the particle time response, which defines the maximum frequency of disturbances, which are to be followed by the particle. In the conclusion, the method of choosing the seeding particles is proposed, depending on the required measurement accuracy.

Use of Non-uniform Rational B-splines for Discharge Calculation in the Velocity Area Method

The velocity area method belongs to the group of primary methods for discharge measurement in hydropower plants. The measurements require an appropriate application of measuring devices and carrying out correctly the process of data analyzing including integration technique. The authors present their own experiences gathered during many years of utilizing the current meter method for discharge measurement in many hydropower plants. They have developed the special integration techniques using the progressive numerical algorithms. The techniques differ from the recommendations contained in the relevant international standards. The authors＇ own software for calculating the discharge from the measured local velocity distribution （obtained using current meters） adopts advanced spline functions, the so-called NURBS （non-uniform rational B-splines）. Nowadays, this kind of splines is commonly used in modeling of the complex geometrical shapes because of their smoothness. It is assessed that it represents much better quality of interpolation than the classic spline functions （classic cubic spline technique）. Particularly, the better properties of the NURBS splines can be observed for velocity profile area characterized by very strong velocity gradients where boundary layers meet the core regions of the flow （mainstream）. In the developed software the boundary layer thickness and exponent of von Karman function is calculated in accordance with the ISO 3354 standard. The software has been successfully used during many performance tests of the hydraulic turbines in Poland for several years. Paper presents the results of flow rate measurements for two different flow systems of Kaplan turbines. First case concerns the application of the current meters in a long circular penstock whereas the second one in short rectangular turbine intake. A comparative analysis of three flow calculation procedures applied for these two cases is presented in the paper-（1） the integration procedure according to the ISO 3354 standard; （2） the integration procedure based on the NS （natural splines）; and （3） the integration procedure based on the NURBS. The results obtained using these three procedures for the first case （intake via long circular penstock） were compared with the results of discharge measurements conducted using the pressure-time method.

Experimental Analysis of Flow Structure in Contra-Rotating Axial Flow Pump Designed with Different Rotational Speed Concept

As a high specific speed pump, the contra-rotating axial flow pump distinguishes itself in a rear rotor rotating in the opposite direction of the front rotor, which remarkably contributes to the energy conversion, the reduction of the pump size, better hydraulic and cavitation performances. However, with two rotors rotating reversely, the significant interaction between blade rows was observed in our prototype contra-rotating rotors, which highly affected the pump performance compared with the conventional axial flow pumps. Consequently, a new type of rear rotor was designed by the rotational speed optimization methodology with some additional considerations, aiming at better cavitation performance, the reduction of blade rows interaction and the secondary flow suppression. The new rear rotor showed a satisfactory performance at the design flow rate but an unfavorable positive slope of the head - flow rate curve in the partial flow rate range less than 40% of the design flow rate, which should be avoided for the reliability of pump-pipe systems. In the present research, to understand the internal flow field of new rear rotor and its relation to the performances at the partial flow rates, the velocity distributions at the inlets and outlets of the rotors are firstly investigated. Then, the boundary layer flows on rotor surfaces, which clearly reflect the secondary flow inside the rotors, are analyzed through the limiting streamline observations using the multi-color oil-film method. Finally, the unsteady numerical simulations are carded out to understand the complicated internal flow structures in the rotors.

A Study of the Unsteady Tip Flow Field of a Transonic Compressor

An experimental investigation on the unsteady tip flow field of a transonic compressor rotor has been performed.The casing-mounted high frequency response pressure transducers were arranged along both the blade chord and the blade pitch.The chord-wise ones were used to indicate both the ensemble averaged and time varying flow structure of the tip region of the rotor at different operating points under 95% design speed and 60% design speed.The pitch-wise circumferential transducers were mainly used to analyze the unsteadiness frequency of the tip leakage flow in the rotor frame at the near stall condition.The contours of casing wall pressure show that there were two clear low pressure regions in blade passages,one along the chord direction,caused by the leakage flow and the other along the tangential direction,maybe caused by the forward swept leading edge.Both low pressure regions were originated from the leading edge and formed a scissor-like flow pattern.At 95% design speed condition,the shock wave interacted with the low pressure region and made the flow field unsteady.With the mass flow reduced,the two low pressure regions gradually contracted to the leading edge and then a spike disturbance emerged.

A parameter-free upwind scheme for all speeds' simulations

With the rapid development of the computational fluid dynamics(CFD),a parameter-free upwind scheme capable of simulating all speeds accurately and efficiently is in high demand.To achieve this goal,we present a new upwind scheme called AUSMPWM in this paper.This scheme computes the numerical mass flux as the AUSMPW+and computes the interfacial sound speed in a different way.Also,it computes the pressure flux by limiting the dissipation if the Mach number is less than 1.Series of numerical experiments show that AUSMPWM can satisfy the following attractive properties independent of any tuning coefficient:(1)Robustness against the shock anomaly and high discontinuity’s resolution;(2)high accuracy on hypersonic heating prediction and capability to give smooth reproductions of heating profiles;(3)low dissipation at low speeds;and(4)strong grid,reconstruction scheme,and Mach number independence in low speeds’simulations.These properties suggest that AUSMPWM is promising to be widely used to accurately and efficiently simulate flows of all speeds.

Experimental Study on Measurement and Calculation of Heat Flux in Supersonic Combustor of Scramjet

An experimental measurement and calculation method which consist of thermal response model, convergence criteria and control algorithms, is proposed in this paper for the determination of heat flux in a scramjet combus- tot. Numerical simulations are done to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and experiments are made in the direct-connect hydrocarbon fueled scramjet combustor of Mach-6 flight for different equivalence ra- tios. The distribution of heat flux along the axial and circumferential directions can be obtained using the pro- posed method. The distribution of heat flux is uneven which is caused by the aerodynamic heating, combustion heat release and changes of section area, and the peak heat flux can be more than 2MW/m^2 during the experi- ments. Heat flux increases with the increase in equivalence ratio for the same Mach number. And axial distribu- tion of heat flux is uniform for different equivalence ratios. In addition, the combustion heat release area of the combustion chamber can therefore be concluded which is useful for guiding the structural design of the thermal protection system.

Flow Range Enhancement by Secondary Flow Effect in Low Solidity Circular Cascade Diffusers

High-pressure ratio and wide operating range are highly required for compressors and blowers. The technical issue of the design is achievement of suppression of flow separation at small flow rate without deteriorating the efficiency at design flow rate. A numerical simulation is very effective in design procedure, however, cost of the numerical simulation is generally high during the practical design process, and it is difficult to confn＇m the optimal design which is combined with many parameters. A multi-objective optimization technique is the idea that has been proposed for solving the problem in practical design process. In this study, a Low Solidity circular cascade Diffuser （LSD） in a centrifugal blower is successfully designed by means of multi-objective optimization technique. An optimization code with a meta-model assisted evolutionary algorithm is used with a commercial CFD code ANSYS-CFX. The optimization is aiming at improving the static pressure coefficient at design point and at low flow rate condition while constraining the slope of the lift coefficient curve. Moreover, a small tip clearance of the LSD blade was applied in order to activate and to stabilize the secondary flow effect at small flow rate condition. The optimized LSD blade has an extended operating range of 114 % towards smaller flow rate as compared to the baseline design without deteriorating the diffuser pressure recovery at design point. The diffuser pressure rise and operating flow range of the optimized LSD blade are experimentally verified by overall performance test. The detailed flow in the diffuser is also confirmed by means of a Particle Image Velocimeter. Secondary flow is clearly captured by PIV and it spreads to the whole area of LSD blade pitch. It is found that the optimized LSD blade shows good improvement of the blade loading in the whole operating range, while at small flow rate the flow separation on the LSD blade has been successfully suppressed by the secondary flow effect.

An aerodynamic design and numerical investigation of transonic centrifugal compressor stage

In the present paper,the design of a transonic centrifugal compressor stage with the inlet relative Mach number about 1.3 and detailed flow field investigation by three-dimensional CFD are described.Firstly the CFD program was validated by an experimental case.Then the preliminary aerodynamic design of stage completed through in-house one-dimensional code.Three types of impellers and two sets of stages were computed and analyzed.It can be found that the swept shape of leading edge has prominent influence on the performance and can enlarge the flow range.Similarly,the performance of the stage with swept impeller is better than others.The total pressure ratio and adiabatic efficiency of final geometry achieve 7:1 and 80% respectively.The vane diffuser with same airfoils along span increases attack angle at higher span,and the local flow structure and performance is deteriorated.

Losses Estimation in Transonic Wet Steam Flow through Linear Blade Cascade

Experimental investigations of non-equilibrium spontaneous condensation in transonic steam flow were carded out in linear blade cascade. The linear cascade consists of the stator blades of the last stage of low pressure steam turbine. The applied experimental test section is a part of a small scale steam power plant located at Silesian Uni- versity of Technology in Gliwice. The steam parameters at the test section inlet correspond to the real conditions in low pressure part of 200MWe steam turbine. The losses in the cascade were estimated using measured static pressure and temperature behind the cascade and the total parameters at inlet. The static pressure measurements on the blade surface as well as the Schlieren pictures were used to assess the flow field in linear cascade of steam turbine stator blades.
