The right mathematical model was also established. Based on the volume of fin ploughed out is equal to the volume of the metal extruded up by the extruding face of the tool, the relations between fin height, pre roll ploughing feed and pre roll ploughing depth have been achieved. With the increase of pre roll ploughing depth which must be equal to groove depth, the fin height gradually becomes larger. There are different critical feeds with the various depths of pre roll ploughing. The pre roll ploughing feed is the critical one, the height of fin is largest. And when the feed is above the critical one, the fin height will reduce with the increase of feed. The theoretical analysis basically accords with experimental results.展开更多

In transient processes, with air entering and exiting the vent tube, one sees complex hydraulic phenomena, which threaten the station's safe operation. It is necessary to investigate the transient mechanisms in the tailrace system with vent tube. In this paper, a 3-D, two-phase numerical model of a vent tube on the connection of the tailrace tunnel and the diversion tunnel, is developed based on the FLUENT with the volume of fluid(VOF) algorithm to investigate the transient air-water flow patterns and the complex hydraulic phenomena in the vent tube of the tailrace system. A 1-D and 3-D unidirectional adjacent coupling(1-D-3-D-UAC) approach with a linear interpolation method is adopted to adjust the timesteps between the 1-D model and the 3-D model on the tunnel inlet and outlet boundaries through the user defined function(UDF), to transmit the data from the 1-D model to the 3-D model. The model is verified by comparing the results obtained by using the 1-D model alone and from the experiments in literature. The transient flow processes under the full load rejection consist of four stages: the water level dropping stage, the air entering stage, the air pocket collapsing stage, and the air exiting stage. Detailed hydraulic phenomena in the air pocket collapsing process are also discussed.展开更多

Numerical results show that fishlike forked configurations have better locomotion performance compared with unforked plates. Based on our results, the caudal fin in carangi- form mode has greater thrust, and the lunate tail fin in thtmniform mode has higher efficiency. These findings are qualitatively con- sistent with biological observations of fish swimming. Analysis of wake topology shows that the wake of the forked plate consists of a chain of alternating reverse horseshoe-like vortical structures. These structures induce a backward jet and generate a positive thrust. Moreover, this backward jet has a more favorable direction compared with that behind an unforked plate.展开更多
