适用欧拉-拉格朗日方法模拟气液泡状流的气泡破碎模型

欧拉-拉格朗日方法已被广泛应用于模拟鼓泡塔等气-液反应器内的流型、气泡尺寸(或气含率)及其分布。文献中该方法主要基于临界Weber数观点来描述气泡破碎行为,且破碎后的子气泡尺寸由随机数确定。但现有实验和理论研究表明,临界Weber数约束不能体现气体密度等物性参数和泡内气体重分布对气泡破碎行为的影响。针对这些不足,提出了适用欧拉-拉格朗日框架且考虑泡内气体重分布贡献的气泡破碎机理模型,并利用开源软件OpenFOAM开发了基于新破碎模型的求解器。新模型预测结果能较好地吻合实验测量的时均轴向液速、气泡尺寸及其分布等实验数据。特别地,考虑泡内气体重分布现象的破碎机理模型成功预测了实验观测的气泡尺寸双峰分布特征。

A hybrid Lagrangian-Eulerian numerical model for sea-ice dynamics

A hybrid Lagrangian - Eulerian （HLE） method is developed for sea ice dynamics, which combines the high computational efficiency of finite difference method （FDM） with the high numerical accuracy of smoothed particle hydrodynamics （SPH）. In this HLE model, the sea ice cover is represented by a group of Lagrangian ice particles with their own thicknesses and concentrations. These ice variables are interpolated to the Eularian gird nodes using the Gaussian interpolation function. The FDM is used to determine the ice velocities at Eulerian grid nodes, and the velocities of Lagrangian ice particles are interpolated from these grid velocities with the Gaussian function also. The thicknesses and concentrations of ice particles are determined based on their new locations. With the HLE numerical model, the ice ridging process in a rectangular basin is simulated, and the simulated results are validated with the analytical solution. This method is also applied to the simulation of sea ice dynamics in a vortex wind field. At last, this HLE model is applied to the Bohai Sea, and the simulated concentration, thickness and velocity match the satellite images and the field observed data well.

Hybrid N-order Lagrangian Interpolation Eulerian-Lagrangian Method for Salinity Calculation

The Eulerian？Lagrangian method（ELM） has been used by many ocean models as the solution of the advection equation,but the numerical error caused by interpolation imposes restriction on its accuracy.In the present study,hybrid N-order Lagrangian interpolation ELM（Li ELM） is put forward in which the N-order Lagrangian interpolation is used at first,then the lower order Lagrangian interpolation is applied in the points where the interpolation results are abnormally higher or lower.The calculation results of a step-shaped salinity advection model are analyzed,which show that higher order（N=3？8） Li ELM can reduce the mean numerical error of salinity calculation,but the numerical oscillation error is still significant.Even number order Li ELM makes larger numerical oscillation error than its adjacent odd number order Li ELM.Hybrid N-order Li ELM can remove numerical oscillation,and it significantly reduces the mean numerical error when N is even and the current is in fixed direction,while it makes less effect on mean numerical error when N is odd or the current direction changes periodically.Hybrid odd number order Li ELM makes less mean numerical error than its adjacent even number order Li ELM when the current is in the fixed direction,while the mean numerical error decreases as N increases when the current direction changes periodically,so odd number of N may be better for application.Among various types of Hybrid N-order Li ELM,the scheme reducing N-order directly to 1st-order may be the optimal for synthetic selection of accuracy and computational efficiency.

New Eulerian-Lagrangian Method for Salinity Calculation

A difference scheme in curvilinear coordinates is put forward for calculation of salinity in estuaries and coastal waters, which is based on Eulerian-Lagrangian method. It combines first-order and second-order Lagrangian interpolation to reduce numerical dispersion and oscillation. And the length of the curvilinear grid is also considered in the interpolation. Then the scheme is used in estuary, coast and ocean model, and several numerical experiments for the Yangtze Estuary and the Hangzhou Bay are conducted to test it. These experiments show that it is suitable for simulations of salinity in estuaries and coastal waters with the models using curvilinear coordinates.

Comparisons of some difference forms for compressible flow in cylindrical geometry on arbitrary Lagrangian and Eulerian framework

The study of cylindrically symmetric compressible fluid is interesting from both theoretical and numerical points of view. In this paper, the typical spherical sym- metry properties of the numerical schemes are discussed, and an area weighted scheme is extended from a Lagrangian method to an arbitrary Lagrangian and Eulerian （ALE） method. Numerical results are presented to compare three discrete configurations, i.e., the control volume scheme, the area weighted scheme, and the plane scheme with the addition of a geometrical source. The fact that the singularity arises from the geometri- cal source term in the plane scheme is illustrated. A suggestion for choosing the discrete formulation is given when the strong shock wave problems are simulated.

Efficient modeling of cable-pulley system with friction based on arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian approach

In conventional modeling of a cable-pulley system, the cable must be finely meshed with Lagrangian elements for valid contact detections with pulleys, leading to extremely low efficiency. The sliding joint method based on the arbitrary-Lagrangian- Eulerian （ALE） formulation still lacks an efficient cable element, and in particular, modeling of friction between a sliding joint and the cable has not been studied. This paper presents efficient multi-body modeling of a cable-pulley system with friction. A variable- length cable element with a node movable along the cable, which is described with ALE, is developed to mesh the cable. A transitional cable element is then proposed to model the contact part of the cable by fixing its two nodes to the two corresponding locations of the pulley. Friction of the cable-pulley is derived as a simple law of tension decay and embedded in the multi-body system modeling. It is simplified as a generalized friction force acting only on the arc-length coordinate. This approach can use a rough mesh on the cable, and is free of contact detections, thus significantly saving computation time. Several examples are presented to validate the proposed method, and show its effectiveness in real engineering applications.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR CHIP FORMATION IN HIGH SPEED TURNING OPERATIONS BY ARBITRARY LAGRANGIAN EULERIAN METHOD

A two-dimensional finite element （FE） model for the high speed turning operations when orthogonally machining AISI H13 tool steel at 49HRC using poly crystalline cubic boron nitride （PCBN） is described. An arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian （ALE） method has been adopted which does not need any chip separation criteria as opposed to the traditional Lagrangian approach. Through FE simulations temperature and stresses distributions are presented that could be helpful in predicting tool life and improving process parameters. The results show that high temperatures are generated along the tool rake face as compared to the shear zone temperatures due to high thermal conductivity of PCBN tools.

COMPARISON OF THE EULERIAN AND LAGRANGIAN TIDAL RESIDUALS IN THE BOHAI SEA

Tidal residual is very important to the transport of water particles, nutrients, plankton, etc. in the coastal sea. Eulerian scheme and Lagrangian scheme are two different ways to get the time averaged residual. Solution of the Bohai Sea’s hydrodynamic system using a semi implicit layer averaged numerical model yielded different direction Eulerian and Lagrangian tidal residuals. The latter were stronger than the former in most sea areas. Their different directions produced different circulation pattern in some areas. Compared with the Eulerian residual, the Lagrangian residual seemed to be more in accord with the observation.

A multifractal model for linking Lagrangian and Eulerian velocity structure functions

A multifractal model is developed to connect the Lagrangian multifractal dimensions with their Eulerian counterparts. We propose that the characteristic time scale of a Lagrangian quantity should be the Lagrangian time scale, and it should not be the Eulerian time scale which was widely used in previous studies on Lagrangian statistics. Using the present model, we can obtain the scaling exponents of Lagrangian velocity structure functions from the existing data or models of scaling exponents of Eulerian velocity structure functions. This model is validated by comparing its prediction with the results of experiments, direct numerical simulations, and the previous theoretical models. The comparison shows that the proposed model can better predict the scaling exponents of Lagrangian velocity structure functions, especially for orders larger than 6.

Simulation of sheet metal extrusion processes with Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method

An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian(ALE) method was employed to simulate the sheet metal extrusion process,aiming at avoiding mesh distortion and improving the computational accuracy.The method was implemented based on MSC/MARC by using a fractional step method,i.e.a Lagrangian step followed by an Euler step.The Lagrangian step was a pure updated Lagrangian calculation and the Euler step was performed using mesh smoothing and remapping scheme.Due to the extreme distortion of deformation domain,it was almost impossible to complete the whole simulation with only one mesh topology.Therefore,global remeshing combined with the ALE method was used in the simulation work.Based on the numerical model of the process,some deformation features of the sheet metal extrusion process,such as distribution of localized equivalent plastic strain,and shrinkage cavity,were revealed.Furthermore,the differences between conventional extrusion and sheet metal extrusion process were also analyzed.
