碎冰航道中航行船舶阻力数值预报

北极运输船舶常航行于由破冰船开辟的碎冰航道中;尽管这避免了船舶与层冰碰撞引起的巨大冰阻力,但船舶与航道中碎冰的相互作用受到两侧层冰的影响,进而会对船舶的航行性能产生影响。目前,碎冰航道两侧层冰对船舶航行性能的影响尚未得到充分研究,是否考虑这一影响是北极船舶设计的一个重要问题,采用CFD-DEM(computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method)耦合方法模拟船舶在碎冰航道中的航行过程并分析船-碎冰相互作用特点,进而对船舶阻力进行数值预报。首先,开展了网格和时间步长的收敛性分析以评估数值误差和不确定度,验证了数值模型的可靠性;在此基础上的预报结果表明,由于两侧层冰对船舶兴波产生影响,船舶水阻力随航道宽度的减小而小幅增大且主要为压阻力的增加;船舶冰阻力随航道宽度的减小而迅速增大,船体两侧的碎冰堆积现象是导致冰阻力增大的主要原因。

上风格式的若干性能分析

采用理论分析和数值试验相结合的方法,对上风格式的三个典型代表:FDS、FVS及AUSM格式的性能进行了分析比较:FDS格式具有高的间断分辨率但可能出现非物理解;FVS格式捕捉强非线性波的能力很强,计算效率高,但耗散比较大;AUSM格式兼有高间断分辨率和高计算效率且克服了两者的弱点。以一维无粘激波管流场为算例考察了这些格式性能与间断分辨率。

双曲守恒型方程的二阶摄动有限差分格式

对双曲守恒型方程,将其一阶迎风格式空间差商的常系数摄动展开为时间步长和空间步长的幂级数,通过确定幂级数系数而获得二阶精度的摄动有限差分(PFD)格式。进而从双曲守恒型方程的通量分裂型一阶迎风格式出发,通过类似的摄动展开方法,获得空间精度为二阶的通量分裂形式的摄动有限差分(FPFD)格式。这两类格式保留了一阶守恒迎风格式的简洁结构形式,使用三节点即可达到二阶精度,又避免了三点二阶格式的非物理数值振荡。并将这两类格式推广应用到双曲守恒型方程组,最后通过模型方程和一维激波管流动的数值算例验证了格式的高精度、高分辨率性质。

CFD-based optimization and design of multi-channel inorganic membrane tubes

As a major configuration of membrane elements,multi-channel porous inorganic membrane tubes were studied by means of theoretical analysis and simulation.Configuration optimization of a cylindrical 37-channel porous inorganic membrane tube was studied by increasing membrane filtration area and increasing permeation efficiency of inner channels.An optimal ratio of the channel diameter to the inter-channel distance was proposed so as to increase the total membrane filtration area of the membrane tube.The three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulation was conducted to study the cross-flow permeation flow of pure water in the 37-channel ceramic membrane tube.A model combining Navier–Stokes equation with Darcy's law and the porous jump boundary conditions was applied.The relationship between permeation efficiency and channel locations,and the method for increasing the permeation efficiency of inner channels were proposed.Some novel multichannel membrane configurations with more permeate side channels were put forward and evaluated.

Computational fluid dynamics simulation of formaldehyde emission characteristics and its experimental validation in environment chamber

We investigated the effect of supply air rate and temperature on formaldehyde emission characteristics in an environment chamber.A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD) chamber model for simulating formaldehyde emission in twelve different cases was developed for obtaining formaldehyde concentration by the area-weighted average method.Laboratory experiments were conducted in an environment chamber to validate the simulation results of twelve different cases and the formaldehyde concentration was measured by continuous sampling.The results show that there was good agreement between the model prediction and the experimental values within 4.3 difference for each case.The CFD simulation results varied in the range from 0.21 mg/m3 to 0.94 mg/m3,and the measuring results in the range from 0.17 mg/m3 to 0.87 mg/m3.The variation trend of formaldehyde concentration with supply air rate and temperature variation for CFD simulation and experiment measuring was consistent.With the existence of steady formaldehyde emission sources,formaldehyde concentration generally increased with the increase of temperature,and it decreased with the increase of air supply rate.We also provided some reasonable suggestions to reduce formaldehyde concentration and to improve indoor air quality for newly decorated rooms.

We carried out a wind tunnel test to measure cladding loads for a high-rise building of 295 m in height,which would be located in the business center of Chongqing Municipality,P.R.China.The rigid model was used to determine fluctuating local pressures on the exterior surfaces of the building.The wind tunnel test results show the critical zone of wind pressures on building surfaces in both standalone and interference conditions.The computational fluid dynamics(CFD)was conducted by using the FLUENT Code to compare with the wind tunnel test results,and the steady three-dimensional turbulent flow with Realizable k-ε as a turbulence model was used.The CFD results are agree with the wind tunnel test results in regards to distributions of wind pressures over a high-rise building's surfaces.

CFD modeling of a headbox with injecting dilution water in a central step diffusion tube

For engineering applications of water dilution controlling system,the fluid dynamics of a mixed flow was studied with computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulations and self-designed experimental set-up.In order to examine the predictability of CFD model for the headbox in industrial scale,two pulp suspensions before mixing were treated as homogeneous flows separately.Standard k-ε turbulence models with the mass diffusion in turbulent flows-species transport approach were applied in the simulations.A numerical simulation of this headbox model was analyzed with semi-implicit method for pressure linked equations scheme with pressure–velocity coupling.Results show that the model can predict hydrodynamic characteristics of headbox with injecting dilution water in a central diffusion tube,and the distribution of water content at the outlet of the slice lip is ideally normal at different speeds.

CFD analysis of a transfer matrix of exhaust muffler with mean flow and prediction of exhaust noise

A multi-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD) approach was proposed in this study aiming to calculate the transfer matrix of an engine exhaust muffler in the conditions with and without mean flow.The CFD model of the muffler with absorptive material defined as porous zone was calibrated with the measured noise reduction without mean flow,and was further employed to study the effect of the mean flow on the acoustic performance of the muffler.Furthermore,the exhaust acoustical source was derived from the calculated transfer matrices of six different additional acoustic loads obtained by the proposed CFD approach as well as the measured tail noise based on a multiload least squares method.Finally,the exhaust noise was predicted based on Thevenin's theorem.The proposed CFD approach was suggested to be able to predict the acoustic performance of a complex muffler considering mean flow(without and with mean flow) and heat transfer,and provide reasonable results of the exhaust noise.

A new method for studying the 3D transient flow of misaligned journal bearings in flexible rotor-bearing systems

The effects of journal misalignment on the transient flow of a finite grooved journal bearing are presented in this study. A new 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis method is applied. Also, the quasi-coupling calculation of transient fluid dynamics of oil film in journal bearing and rotor dynamics is considered in the analysis. Based on the structured mesh, a new approach for mesh movement is proposed to update the mesh volume when the journal moves during the fluid dynamics simula- tion of an oil film. Existing dynamic mesh models provided by FLUENT are not suitable for the transient oil flow in journal bearings. The movement of the journal is obtained by solving the moving equations of the rotor-bearing system with the calculated film pressure as the boundary condition of the load. The data exchange between fluid dynamics and rotor dynamics is realized by data files. Results obtained from the CFD model were consistent with previous experimental results on misaligned journal bearings. Film pressure, oil film force, friction torque, misalignment moment and attitude angle were calculated and compared for mis- aligned and aligned journal bearings. The results indicate that bearing performances are greatly affected by misalignment which is caused by unbalanced excitation, and the CFD method based on the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) technique can effectively predict the transient flow field of a misaligned journal bearing in a rotor-bearing system.

Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) Modeling of Heat Transfer in a Polymeric Membrane using Finite Volume Method

The efficiency,robustness and reliability of recent numerical methods for finding solutions to flow problems have given rise to the implementation of computational fluid dynamics(CFD) as a broadly used analysis method for engineering problems like membrane separation system.The CFD modeling in this study observes steady and unsteady(transient) heat flux and temperature profiles in a polymeric(cellulose acetate) membrane.This study is novel due to the implementation of user defined scalar(UDS) diffusion equation by using user-defined functions(UDFs) infinite volume method(FVM).Some details of the FVM used by the solver are carefully discussed when implementing terms in the governing equation and boundary conditions(BC).The contours of temperature due to high-temperature gradient are reported for steady and unsteady problems.

Effect of terrain and building structures on the airflow in an airport

The aim of this study was to perform computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations on the airflows at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). In particular, the effects of hangar buildings and terrain were studied to explore the effects of turbulence on flying aircraft, especially during landing. The CFD simulation showed that significant differences in wind speeds may occur between the north and the south runways on the western part of the HKIA under typhoon conditions with a strong north to northwesterly wind. Simulation also showed that the hanger buildings between the two runways on the western side and the nearby terrain could be causing the observed difference in the wind speeds. The results also indicated that these obstacles could cause significant wind speed variations at the western end of the south runway. This may affect the operation of landing aircraft. The CFD results for a typical typhoon case were analyzed and found to match the wind data recorded by an aircraft landing that day.

Numerical investigation of the influence of companion drops on drop-on-demand ink jetting

In this study we characterized and investigated the specific phenomenon of "companion drops" in the drop-ondemand(DOD) ink jetting process.A series of simulations based on a piezoelectric DOD printhead system is presented,adapting the volume-of-fluid(VOF) interface-capturing method to track the boundary evolution and model the interfacial physics.The results illustrate the causality between the generation of companion drops and droplet deviation behavior,as well as their close correlations with ink jetting straightness and printing accuracy.The characteristics of companion drops are summarized and compared with those of satellite drops.Also,a theoretical mechanism for the generation of companion drops is presented,and their effects and behaviors are analyzed and discussed.Finally,the effects of critical factors on the generation of companion drops are investigated and characterized based on variations in the printable pressure range.Recommendations are given for the suppression of companion drops and for the improvement of printing accuracy.

A computational fluid dynamics model for wind simulation:model implementation and experimental validation

To provide physically based wind modelling for wind erosion research at regional scale, a 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) wind model was developed. The model was programmed in C language based on the Navier-Stokes equations, and it is freely available as open source. Integrated with the spatial analysis and modelling tool (SAMT), the wind model has convenient input preparation and powerful output visualization. To validate the wind model, a series of experiments was con- ducted in a wind tunnel. A blocking inflow experiment was designed to test the performance of the model on simulation of basic fluid processes. A round obstacle experiment was designed to check if the model could simulate the influences of the obstacle on wind field. Results show that measured and simulated wind fields have high correlations, and the wind model can simulate both the basic processes of the wind and the influences of the obstacle on the wind field. These results show the high reliability of the wind model. A digital elevation model (DEM) of an area (3800 m long and 1700 m wide) in the Xilingele grassland in Inner Mongolia (autonomous region, China) was applied to the model, and a 3D wind field has been successfully generated. The clear imple- mentation of the model and the adequate validation by wind tunnel experiments laid a solid foundation for the prediction and assessment of wind erosion at regional scale.
