And compression fields in the isolator are investigated using wall static and pitot pressure measurements. Three incoming Mach numbers are considered as 1.5, 1.8 and 2. Results show that the increase of the asymmetry of the flow at the isolator entrance leads to the increase of the shock train length in the isolator for a given pressure ratio. Based on the analysis of the flow asymmetry effect at the isolator entrance on the shock train length, a modified correlation is proposed to calculate the length of the shock train. Predicted results of the proposed correlation are in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

Two sub-schemes, the central difference scheme and the Roets flux difference splitting scheme, are hybridized by means of a binary sensor function.

Numerical results show good agreements with the experimental measurements. The present hybrid scheme can be applied to simulating the compressible flow around a curved surface body involving shock wave and turbulence.展开更多

According to IWTO standards, the fibre diameter parameters can be tested with the methods of Airflowmeter, DA; Sirolan-Laserscan, DL and CVDL; and OFDA, Do and CVDo. However, these parameters only characterize the average diameter and the variation between the fibres. A single fibre analyzer (SIFAN) can be used to measure fibre profile along the fibre and fibre tensile properties simultaneously. The results obtained from the four methods show that there are i) high relationships between Laserscan values and the results of Airflow, OFDA and SIFAN in the average diameters; ii) correlations between CVDL and CVDo or CVDave; iii) the high correlation between Dave-Dmia but a low correlation between Dave-Dmax; and iv) the relationships between the wool quality and the ratio of Dmln/Dave and Dmin/DL. Based on the results and discussions, the effective measurement of wool diameter should be the SIFAN method. The new parameters of Dmin/DL and Dmin/Dave are the useful value for the evaluation of wool quality in practice.展开更多

In this study, pseudo-shock waves in a modeled cold spray nozzle as well as high-speed gas jets are visualized by schlieren technique. The schlieren photographs reveals the supersonic flow with shock train in the nozzle. Static pressure along the barrel wall is also measured. The location of the head of pseudo-shock wave and its pressure distribution along the nozzle wall are analytically explained by using a formula of pseudo-shock wave. The analytical results show that the supersonic flow accompanying shock wave in the nozzle should be treated as pseudo-shock wave instead of normal shock wave.展开更多

When the high-pressure gas is exhausted to atmosphere from the nozzle exit, the expanded supersonic jet with the Mach disk is formed at a specific condition. In two-dimensional expanded supersonic jet, the hysteresis phenomenon for the reflection type of shock wave is occurred under the quasi-steady flow and the transitional pressure ratio between the regular reflection and Mach reflection is affected by this phe- nomenon. However, so far, there are very few researches for the hysteretic phenomenon of shock wave in a supersonic internal flow and the phenomenon has not been investigated satisfactorily. The present study was concemed with the experimental and numerical investigations of hysteretic phenomena of shock wave in a supersonic nozzle, and discussed the relationship between hysteresis phenomenon and rate of the change of pressure ratio with time.展开更多

Compared to conventional shock tubes with macro scales, flows related to shock waves in micro shock tubes are highly complicated. Stronger viscous and dissipative interactions make shock wave dynamic behaviors significantly different from theoretical predictions. In the present study, a CFD work was applied to the unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations which were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. The diaphragm pressure ratio and shock tube diameter were varied to investigate their effects on micro shock tube flows. Different wall boundary conditions were also performed to observe shock wave and contact surface propagation with no slip and slip walls. Detailed flow characteristics at the foot of shock wave and contact surface propagation were known from the present numerical simulations.展开更多

Usually the rear shock is responding to vortex sheding by its deflection angle. In consequence main shock and rear shocks are moving whilst front shock is stable. The goal of the measurements presented here is to find out how the k-foot behaves during shock oscillations in the case when front shock is not fixed by the pressure gradient. Unsteady shock behaviour is also investigated when air jet vortex generators （AJVG） are used. Counteraction of the separation is directly related to the influence on unsteady processes in the shock wave induced separation.展开更多
