Effects of static magnetic fields on melt flow in detached solidification

A series of three-dimensional numerical computations were conducted to understand the effects of different static magnetic fields on thermal fluctuation and melt flow during the detached solidification of CdZnTe. Numerical calculations were carried out by three different configurations of magnetic field: without magnetic field, with an axial magnetic field (AMF) and with a cusp-shaped magnetic field (CMF). The results reveal that the magnetic fields can effectively suppress the melt flow and thermal fluctuation and the suppression effect of the AMF is stronger than that of the CMF. Besides, the physical mechanism of thermocapillary?buoyancy convection instability was discussed and the effects of magnetic field on the critical Marangoni number were also obtained.

Effects of geometric parameters and axial magnetic field on buoyant-thermocapillary convection during detached solidification

In order to understand the effect of geometric parameters and axial magnetic field on buoyant-thermocapillary convection during detached solidification, a series of threedimensional numerical simulations were conducted by the finite-difference method. The results indicate that the stable flow is observed when the Marangoni number （Ma） is small; however, when the value of Ma increases and exceeds a threshold value, the stable steady flow transits to be unstable flow. As the height of the melt increases, the flow is enhanced at first and then gets weakened. As the width of gap decreases gradually, the strength of flow is enhanced. The approach of using axial magnetic field is an effective way to suppress the buoyant-thermocapillary convection. As the magnetic field strength increases, the inhibition is enhanced. The critical Marangoni number increases slightly with a greater melt height, a narrower width of gap, and a more strength of magnetic field.

Analysis of the Pump-turbine S Characteristics Using the Detached Eddy Simulation Method

Current research on pump-turbine units is focused on the unstable operation at off-design conditions, with the characteristic curves in generating mode being S-shaped. Unlike in the traditional water turbines, pump-turbine operation along the S-shaped curve can lead to difficulties during load rejection with unusual increases in the water pressure, which leads to machine vibrations. This paper describes both model tests and numerical simulations. A reduced scale model of a low specific speed pump-turbine was used for the performance tests, with comparisons to computational fluid dynamics（CFD） results. Predictions using the detached eddy simulation（DES） turbulence model, which is a combined Reynolds averaged Naviers-Stokes（RANS） and large eddy simulation（LES） model, are compared with the two-equation turbulence mode results. The external characteristics as well as the internal flow are for various guide vane openings to understand the unsteady flow along the so called S characteristics of a pump-turbine. Comparison of the experimental data with the CFD results for various conditions and times shows that DES model gives better agreement with experimental data than the two-equation turbulence model. For low flow conditions, the centrifugal forces and the large incident angle create large vortices between the guide vanes and the runner inlet in the runner passage, which is the main factor leading to the S-shaped characteristics. The turbulence model used here gives more accurate simulations of the internal flow characteristics of the pump-turbine and a more detailed force analysis which shows the mechanisms controlling of the S characteristics.

Detached eddy simulation on the structure of swirling jet flow field

The improved delayed detached eddy simulation method with shear stress transport model was used to analyze the evolution of vortex structure,velocity and pressure fields of swirling jet.The influence of nozzle pressure drop on vortex structure development and turbulence pulsation was investigated.The development of vortex structure could be divided into three stages:Kelvin-Helmholtz(K-H)instability,transition stage and swirling flow instability.Swirling flow could significantly enhance radial turbulence pulsation and increase diffusion angle.At the downstream of the jet flow,turbulence pulsation dissipation was the main reason for jet velocity attenuation.With the increase of pressure drop,the jet velocity,pulsation amplitude and the symmetry of velocity distribution increased correspondingly.Meanwhile the pressure pulsation along with the axis and vortex transport intensity also increased significantly.When the jet distance exceeded about 9 times the dimensionless jet distance,the impact distance of swirling jet could not be improved effectively by increasing the pressure drop.However,it could effectively increase the swirl intensity and jet diffusion angle.The swirling jet is more suitable for radial horizontal drilling with large hole size,coalbed methane horizontal well cavity completion and roadway drilling and pressure relief,etc.

Energy Saving Performance of Detached House with Hydrogen Co-generation System

Energy consumption is increasing every year in building sector, utilization and development of alternative energy sources and technologies to support the requirements of every house. The hydrogen fuel cell is one of the latest technologies for distributed energy systems. This research is aim to grasp the energy saving performance of the hydrogen co-generation system in the detached house. First, it investigated on the demand-side energy consumption including electricity, cooling, heating and hot water. Second, it introduced a distributed energy resources (DER) system and set six cases to analyze the energy utilization. Different options for changing the heating, cooling, electricity and hot water systems were compared for this type of detached house, assuming basiccase as a reference. Changes in the fuel used, energy operation machines and also demand side and supply side were analyzed. Except past case, every case will be operated under the electricitytracking mode and heat-tracking mode. The comparisons and evaluations of the energy consumption between cases can suggest the environmental performance of the hydrogen co-generation system.

The Influence of Inflow Condition on the Generation of Tumbling Flow Using Detached Eddy Simulation

One of the objectives of car manufacturers is to improve engine performance, reduce consumption reduce emissions. To achieve this objective, it is important to understand the phenomena involved in the combustion chambers of engines. These phenomena are numerous and complex in nature such: the aerodynamics, fuel-air mixture, turbulence, combustion and the cycle to cycle instabilities that cause more problems. One of the factors responsible for the phenomenon of cycle to cycle variations is the instability of the characteristics of the vortex flow Tumble. This instability may be due to changes in initial conditions. This study is achieved in order to contribute in a better understanding of engine flow by using a Detached Eddy Simulation Shear-Stress Transport (DES SST) model, which is a hybrid RANS/LES model. These simulations have been performed with the commercial CFD (computational fluid dynamic) code (FLUENT) coupled with our own development based on UDF facilities given by FLUENT. To explore the suitability of the 3D DES STT to simulate the internal flow, the calculation is performed for a model tumbling flow at constant volume. This flow has been measured in an experimental set up and measurements are used to initiate and to validate simulations. For this case study, we consider simplified engine geometry. To generate tumbling motion, we use non-reacting DES with a single cycle (SC) strategy. Also, with this strategy we study the effect of initial conditions on the instabilities that accompany a vortex type tumble.

Unsteady RANS and detached eddy simulation of the multiphase flow in a co-current spray drying

A detached eddy simulation(DES) and a k-ε-based Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes(RANS) calculation on the co-current spray drying chamber is presented. The DES used here is based on the Spalart–Allmaras(SA) turbulence model, whereas the standard k-ε(SKE) was considered here for comparison purposes. Predictions of the mean axial velocity, temperature and humidity profile have been evaluated and compared with experimental measurements. The effects of the turbulence model on the predictions of the mean axial velocity, temperature and the humidity profile are most noticeable in the(highly anisotropic) spraying region. The findings suggest that DES provide a more accurate prediction(with error less than 5%) of the flow field in a spray drying chamber compared with RANS-based k-ε models. The DES simulation also confirmed the presence of anisotropic turbulent flow in the spray dryer from the analysis of the velocity component fluctuations and turbulent structure as illustrated by the Q-criterion.

Electron density calculation based on Stark broadening of D Balmer line from detached plasma in EAST tungsten divertor

The electron density within the volume of the tungsten divertor of the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak （EAST） is calculated based on Dε line （396.9 nm） Stark broadening （SB） measurements. The quasistatic approximation is employed in the SB calculation of the Dε line. The influences of other broadening mechanisms on the calculation error of electron density have been evaluated. The SB method is applied to the study of spatial distribution and time evolution of the electron density in the W divertor. Two electron density bands are observed in the detached divertor plasma during an L-mode discharge sustained by low hybrid wave （LHW） heating, which could be related to the striated particle flux distribution induced by LHW. After the onset of detachment, the upper electron density band corresponding to outer strike point firstly increases then decreases, while the lower density band corresponding to striated particle flux increases continually although the electron densities from Langmuir Probes at the divertor plate keep a descending trend. This could indicate a downward movement of the radiation region that approximately moves along the magnetic field lines after the onset of detachment.

Complicated flow in tip flow field of a compressor tandem cascade using delayed detached eddy simulation

The complex flow characteristics in the tip region of a tandem cascade with tip clearance have been calculated and analyzed using Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation(DDES).The coherent mechanism of the vortex structures near the blade tip was discussed,and the unsteady behaviors and features in the tip flow field were analyzed.Additionally,the interaction between the tip leakage flow and the gap jet was revealed.The results show that,compared to the datum cascade,the blade tip load of the rear blade increases while that of the front blade decreases.Unsteady fluctuations of the tandem cascade are mainly caused by the interaction between the tip leakage flow and gap jet,and by the mixing of the vortex structures,but there is no essential change in the spectrum feature of the tip leakage flow.Finally,a detailed analysis of the development of vortices in the tip region is conducted by the topological structures of the flow field.Combined with the three-dimensional vortex structures,the schematic diagram of the vortex system of the datum single-row cascade and tandem cascade is summarized.

The Full Multi-wake Vortex Lattice Method:a detached flow model based on Potential Flow Theory

One of the main issues concerning the standard Vortex Lattice Method is its application to partially or fully detached flow conditions,where non-linear aerodynamic characteristics appear as the angle of attack increases and/or the aspect ratio decreases.In order to solve such limitations,a pure numerical approach based entirely on the Vortex Lattice Method concepts has been developed.The so-called steady“Full Multi-wake Vortex Lattice Method”comes from the main hypothesis that each discretized element on the body’s surface detaches their own wakes downstream.The obtained results match for lift,drag and moment coefficients for the entire aspect ratio range configurations(under straight wakes and inviscid assumptions).Future unsteady versions of such a multi-wake approach could improve the current results obtained through Vortex Element Methods(as vortons or isolated vortex filaments).

Two-dimensional numerical simulation of thermocapillary convection in detached solidification

Numerical simulations of flow in the melt(CdZnTe) with different conditions are conducted using the finite-difference method.When the top surface of the melt is solid wall under microgravity condition,the thermocapillary convection is caused in the melt by the surface tension gradient on the free surface.As the Marangoni number is small,the flow is steady thermocapillary convection.As the Marangoni number exceeds the critical value,the steady flow transits into unstable thermocapillary convection.When the top surface of the melt is free surface under microgravity,two roll cells are observed in the melt,which are driven by both the surface tension gradients on the upper and lower free surfaces.When the top surface of the melt is free surface under gravity condition,the effect of the buoyancy on the flow is little as the Marangoni number is small.With the Marangoni number increasing,the effect of the buoyancy increases,which makes the upper roll cell weaken and the lower roll cell strengthen.

DETACHED EDDY SIMULATION OF HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS ALONG THE SIDE-WALL AFTER A NEW ARRANGEMENT-SCHEME OF THE SUDDEN LATERAL ENLARGEMENT AND THE VERTICAL DROP

In order to study the cavitation damage in a side-wall when a sudden lateral enlargement and a vertical drop are imposed at the radial gate, a new arrangement-scheme is proposed, where the sudden lateral enlargement and the vertical drop can be imposed at the outlet of the gate chamber. The hydraulic characteristics along the side-wall are simulated by the detached eddy simulation and the Volume Of Fluid （VOF） method. The numerical results agree well with those of experiment. The experimental and numerical results show that the flow condition is smooth with only a weak water-wing appearing behind the lateral cavity, and the length of the lateral cavity becomes longer and is mainly affected by the size of the lateral enlargement and the zone of negative pressure after the water impacts the side-wall would disappear. The hydraulic characteristics of the new arrangement-scheme are beneficial to the prevention of the cavitation damage in the side-wall and the Detached Eddy Simulation （DES） with the VOF method can well predict the hydraulic characteristics after the new arrangement-scheme of the sudden lateral enlargement and the vertical drop.

Detached-eddy simulation of wing-tip vortex in the near field of NACA 0015 airfoil

In the present study, the formation of the wing-tip vortex from a rectangular NACA0015 wing with a square tip at the Reynolds number of 1.8× 105 and the angles of attack （AOA） α = 8° and 10° were simulated with an incompressible detached eddy simulation （DES） method and the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） equations with the SA model respectively. Numerical results were compared with experimental results to validate the capability of the employed methods in resolving tip vortex flows. The results show that DES model could capture the complicated three-dimensional structures in the vortex, and the streamwise vorticity and the cross-flow velocity agree with the experiment results quite well, but RANS-SA model with the same grid as that of DES failed to capture the correct structures and under-predicted the streamwise vorticity in the vortex by 40%. The present study suggests that under the same calculation cost, DES but not RANS-SA could be used to effectively predict the flow characteristics in tip vortex.

Detached-eddy simulation of turbulent coherent structures around groynes in a trapezoidal open channel

The hydrodynamics in a straight open channel with a multiple-embayment groyne field was investigated using the detached-eddy simulation(DES).A series of short groynes were included on a 1:3 side slope of the channel.This work focuses on the turbulent coherent structures around groynes on an uneven bottom.Flows around groyne fields are characterized by massive separation and highly unsteady vortices.DES can capture a wide spectrum of eddies at a lower computational cost than the large eddy simulation(LES)or direct numerical simulation(DNS).In the present work,a zonal DES model(ZDES)was used to simulate the flow around groynes.The ZDES model is a modified version of the DES designed to overcome the model-stress depletion(MSD)of the RANS/LES hybrid model.The vortex system consists of the horseshoe vortex(HV)formed at the base of the obstructions,the necklace vortex(NV)that wrapped the groyne tips near the free surface,and the shedding vortex(SV)underneath the free surface.The effects of the incident flow and local topography on the vortex evolution were investigated by analyzing the mean flow structures and the instantaneous turbulent flow fields.Some important vortices cannot be captured because of the averaging process,while some flow structures cannot be observed in the instantaneous flow.The mean flow is only a reflection of the averaging process when complex vortices are present.

Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation of Subcritical Flow past Generic Side Mirror

In the present study, the subcritical flow past a generic side mirror on a base plane is investigated at the Reynolds number of 5.2 × 10~5 using delayed detached eddy simulation(DDES) turbulence model. Asides from the capability of capturing main features of the large recirculation vortex in the wake of the side mirror and the front horseshoe vortex, the accuracy of DDES estimation of recirculation length is significantly increased by over20%, compared to the detached eddy simulation(DES) estimation using the same grid. And DDES prediction of pressure coefficient at the trailing edge of the mirror is in good agreement with the experiments, which is more accurate than both DES and large eddy simulation(LES) results. The results verify the capacity of DDES turbulence model to solve the turbulent flow around the side mirror. This is a key foundation for possible future study of full simulation of external flow field of vehicle.
