音速喷嘴法气体流量标准装置的稳流结构优化

音速喷嘴法气体计量标准装置采用负压法和正压法两种计量方式对流体机型计量。为了提高计量的精确度,降低流体流动扰动对计量的影响,需要在前直管段安装稳流结构。目前稳流结构采用组合圆管方式,仍存在不足之处。因此,对音速喷嘴法气体流量标准装置的稳流结构进行优化,提出采用蜂窝状组合直管结构,并对两种结构进行建模和CFD模拟仿真。通过对比得知,蜂窝状组合直管稳流结构的稳流效果更佳。

Detached-eddy simulations and analyses on new vortical flows over a 76/40° double delta wing

Numerical simulations were performed on the massively separated flows of a 76/40° double delta wing using detached-eddy simulation(DES).A new type of cross-flow vortex is suggested.A vortex was initially generated near the junction of the strake and wing,which then moved towards the wing tip at certain wavelength and speed.Analyses were made in detail on the mechanism of the generation of the cross-flow vortex,that is,the inviscid cross-flow instability which differs from that of the swept blunt wing.Cross-section topology of the cross-flow vortex is also investigated,and the wavelength of the vortex array and the characteristic frequency are given.The analyses showed that the cross-flow vortices have an influence on the pressure distribution,which can cause a 10%-20% deviation from the averaged distribution.

The dynamic stability of the flow in a meander channel

The meander channel is one of the most common channel patterns in nature.The characteristics of the flow and sediment in a meander channel which have significant effect on the development of watercourse are important subjects in river dynamics.The transition of the flow patterns in a meander channel concerns with the development mode of the channel pattern and the river regime including the generation conditions of the three-dimensional coherent vortex and secondary flow,the hierarchical scale of coherent vortex in different flow conditions,the large-scale turbulent eddy structure adapted to a meander,etc.In this paper we study the laminar flow instability of the two-dimensional channel in a meander channel.It is essentially different from that in a straight channel:The neutral curve will move forward and the critical Reynolds number will decrease.The flow is unstable in response to a wider range of the disturbance wave number,or the laminar flow instability can happen more easily.The above results could not be obtained in the traditional hydrodynamic stability theory so that our work in this paper would make up for the deficiency and blank in this aspect.

Investigations of an enclosed annular rotor-stator system with LES method

In this study, the flows in an enclosed annular rotor-stator system with the Reynolds number ranging from 0.75×105 to 3.75×105 and an aspect ratio of 36.5 are investigated using the LES method. Few studies have explored such a rotor-stator system with this aspect ratio and the flow structure on the rotor side. The mean flow structure varies from a torsional Couette type to a Batchelor type as the Reynolds number increases. The onset of the instability in the B?dewadt layer adjacent to the stator is delayed,whereas it is promoted in the Ekman layer adjacent to the rotor. Both the layers demonstrate rich spiral structures. Turbulent spirals are observed to occur at the rotor disk side that also generates TS-wave-like(Tollmien-Schlichting) structures between adjacent spiral arms. Further, the turbulence at the stator is complex and interesting. Statistically, the turbulence is highly anisotropic near both the rotating and nonrotating disks, which is depicted by the Reynolds stresses.

The Influence of Fuel-Air Swirl Intensity on Flame Structures of Syngas Swirl-Stabilized Diffusion Flame

Flame structures of a syngas swirl-stabilized diffusion flame in a model combustor were measured using the OH-PLIF method under different fuel and air swirl intensity.The flame operated under atmospheric pressure with air and a typical low heating-value syngas with a composition of 28.5% CO,22.5% H2 and 49% N2 at a thermal power of 34 kW.Results indicate that increasing the air swirl intensity with the same fuel,swirl intensity flame structures showed little difference except a small reduction of flame length;but also,with the same air swirl intensity,fuel swirl intensity showed great influence on flame shape,length and reaction zone distribution.Therefore,compared with air swirl intensity,fuel swirl intensity appeared a key effect on the flame structure for the model combustor.Instantaneous OH-PLIF images showed that three distinct typical structures with an obvious difference of reaction zone distribution were found at low swirl intensity,while a much compacter flame structure with a single,stable and uniform reaction zone distribution was found at large fuel-air swirl intensity.It means that larger swirl intensity leads to efficient,stable combustion of the syngas diffusion flame.

Analytic approach on geometric structure of invariant manifolds of the collinear Lagrange points

An analytical method is proposed to find geometric structures of stable,unstable and center manifolds of the collinear Lagrange points.In a transformed space,where the linearized equations are in Jordan canonical form,these invariant manifolds can be approximated arbitrarily closely as Taylor series around Lagrange points.These invariant manifolds are represented by algebraic equations containing the state variables only without the help of time.Thus the so-called geometric structure of these invariant manifolds is obtained.The stable,unstable and center manifolds are tangent to the stable,unstable and center eigenspaces,respectively.As an example of applicability,the invariant manifolds of L 1 point of the Sun-Earth system are considered.The stable and unstable manifolds are symmetric about the line from the Sun to the Earth,and they both reach near the Earth,so that the low energy transfer trajectory can be found based on the stable and unstable manifolds.The periodic or quasi-periodic orbits,which are chosen as nominal arrival orbits,can be obtained based on the center manifold.

Structures of convection and turbulent kinetic energy in boundary layer over the southeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau

Based on a comprehensive analysis on Sonic Anemometer and gradient data, wind profile radar(WPR) and GPS sounding data of March–August 2008 from the boundary layer(BL) tower observation system at Dali on the southeastern edge of Tibetan Plateau(TP), it is found that the strengths of turbulent kinetic energy(TKE), buoyancy term and shear term depend on vegetation cover in association with local stability and thermodynamic condition. Strong kinetic turbulence appears when near surface layer in neutral condition with the large contribution from shear term. In an unstable condition within near surface layer, the atmospheric turbulent motion is mainly thermal turbulence, as buoyancy term is obviously larger than shear term. Under a stable condition the intermittent turbulence is accompanied by weak shear and buoyancy term, and TKE is significantly less than neutral or instable condition. The study also presents that the buoyancy term contribution at Nyingchi station in the southern slopes of the TP large topography in spring is significantly larger than that at Dali over the southeastern TP edge, reflecting that the thermal turbulence makes an important contribution to convection activity in the southern slopes of TP. Dali station is located in complex terrain with mountain and valley leading to larger kinetic turbulence. From the perspective of interaction of turbulence-convection in different scales, the study revealed that the height of convective boundary layer(CBL) could reach up to 1500–2000 m. TKE, shear term, and buoyancy term in near surface layer have the notable correlations with BL height and local vertical motion. The daytime thermodynamic turbulence effect of heat flux and buoyancy term has an obvious impact on the height of CBL, whereas mechanical turbulence only exerts a less impact. Mechanical turbulence in near surface layer has a significant impact on vertical motion especially in the forenoon with impacting height of 2500–3000 m. The peaks in diurnal variations of shear term and buoyancy term correspond to the high instable periods, especially in summer forenoon. Our observation analysis characterized the convection activity triggered by TKE source and their interaction in the southeastern TP edge.

Effect of Marangoni Number on Thermocapillary Convection and Free-Surface Deformation in Liquid Bridges

Floating zone technique is a crucible-free process for growth of high quality single crystals. Unstable thermocapillary convection is a typical phenomenon during the process under microgravity. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the instability of thermocapillary convection in liquid bridges with deformable free-surface under microgravity. In this works, the Volume of Fluid(VOF) method is employed to track the free-surface movement. The results are presented as the behavior of flow structure and temperature distribution of the molten zone. The impact of Marangoni number(Ma) is also investigated on free-surface deformation as well as the instability of thermocapillary convection. The free-surface exhibits a noticeable axisymmetric(but it is non-centrosymmetric) and elliptical shape along the circumferential direction. This specific surface shape presents a typical narrow ‘neck-shaped' structure with convex at two ends of the zone and concave at the mid-plane along the axial direction. At both θ = 0° and θ = 90°, the deformation ratio ξ increases rapidly with Ma at first, and then increases slowly. Moreover, the hydrothermal wave number m and the instability of thermocapillary convection increase with Ma.

A type of dynamic mechanism of river hydraulic geometry

Large-sczde structure of river flow is the main driving force for bed erosion-deposition and bank delbrmation. The structure shapes and retains a corresponding hydraulic geometry form. Therefore, the most stable flow structure is the probable natural river plane formation. Natural coordinate transformation and perturbation methods were adapted to deform the governing equations of sine-generated river basic flow and disturbance flow independently. The stability and retention of perturbation waves were analyzed in our model to explain why meandering rivers followed a certain type of tqow path. Computation results showed that all types of perturbation waves in meandering rivers were most stable when the meandering wave number was about 0.39-0.41. We believe that this type of stable flow structure shaped a certain meandering river. The statistical average length-width ratios of Yalin, Habib and da Silva and Leopold and Wolman somewhat confirmed our most stable river mean- dering wave number. In some ways, meandering rivers always tend to diminish internal turbulence intensity.

Dynamic Transition and Pattern Formation in Taylor Problem

The main objective of this article is to study both dynamic and structural transitions of the Taylor-Couette flow, by using the dynamic transition theory and geometric theory of incompressible flows developed recently by the authors. In particular, it is shown that as the Taylor number crosses the critical number, the system undergoes either a continuous or a jump dynamic transition, dictated by the sign of a computable, nondimensional parameter R. In addition, it is also shown that the new transition states have the Taylor vortex type of flow structure, which is structurally stable.
