Two-way coupling model for shock-induced laminar boundary-layer flows of a dusty gas

The present paper describes a numerical two-way coupling model for shock-induced laminar boundary-layer flows of a dust-laden gas and studies the transverse migration of fine particles under the action of Saffman lift force. The governing equations are formulated in the dilute twophase continuum framework with consideration of the finiteness of the particle Reynolds and Knudsen numbers. The full Lagrangian method is explored for calculating the dispersedphase flow fields （including the number density of particles） in the regions of intersecting particle trajectories. The computation results show a significant reaction of the particles on the two-phase boundary-layer structure when the mass loading ratio of particles takes finite values.

3D Two-way Coupled TEHD Analysis on the Lubricating Characteristics of Thrust Bearings in Pump-turbine Units by Combining CFD and FEA

The thermal elastic hydro dynamic （TEHD） lubrication analysis for the thrust bearing is usually conducted by combining Reynolds equation with finite element analysis （FEA）. But it is still a problem to conduct the computation by combining computational fluid dynamics （CFD） and FEA which can simulate the TEHD more accurately. In this paper, by using both direct and separate coupled solutions together, steady TEHD lubrication considering the viscosity-temperature effect for a bidirectional thrust bearing in a pump-turbine unit is simulated combining a 3D CFD model for the oil film with a 3D FEA model for the pad and mirror plate. Cyclic symmetry condition is used in the oil film flow as more reasonable boundary conditions which avoids the oil temperature assumption at the leading and trailing edge. Deformations of the pad and mirror plate are predicted and discussed as well as the distributions of oil film thickness, pressure, temperature. The predicted temperature shows good agreement with measurements, while the pressure shows a reasonable distribution comparing with previous studies. Further analysis of the three-coupled-field reveals the reason of the high pressure and high temperature generated in the film. Finally, the influence of rotational speed of the mirror plate on the lubrication characteristics is illustrated which shows the thrust load should be balanced against the oil film temperature and pressure in optimized designs. This research proposes a thrust bearing computation method by combining CFD and FEA which can do the TEHD analysis more accurately.

Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of Flexible Plate with Partitioned Coupling Method

The development and rapid usage of numerical codes for fluid-structure interaction(FSI) problems are of great relevance to researchers in many engineering fields such as civil engineering and ocean engineering. This multidisciplinary field known as FSI has been expanded to engineering fields such as offshore structures, tall slender structures and other flexible structures applications. The motivation of this paper is to investigate the numerical model of two-way coupling FSI partitioned flexible plate structure under fluid flow. The adopted partitioned method and approach utilized the advantage of the existing numerical algorithms in solving the two-way coupling fluid and structural interactions. The flexible plate was subjected to a fluid flow which causes large deformation on the fluid domain from the oscillation of the flexible plate. Both fluid and flexible plate are subjected to the interaction of load transfer within two physics by using the strong and weak coupling methods of MFS and Load Transfer Physics Environment, respectively. The oscillation and deformation results have been validated which demonstrate the reliability of both strong and weak method in resolving the two-way coupling problem in contribution of knowledge to the feasibility field study of ocean engineering and civil engineering.

Simulation and Analysis of China Climate Using Two-Way Interactive Atmosphere-Vegetation Model (RIEMS-AVIM)

In this paper, an Atmosphere-Vegetation Interaction Model （AVIM） is coupled to the Regional Integrated Environment Model System （RIEMS）, and a 10-year integration for China is performed using the RIEMS-AVIM. The analysis of the results of the 10-year integration shows that the characters of the spatial distributions of temperature and precipitation over China are well simulated. The patterns of simulated surface sensible and latent heat fluxes match well with the spatial climatological atlas： the values of winter surface sensible and latent heat fluxes are both lower than climatological values over the whole country. Summer surface sensible heat flux is higher than climatological values in western China and lower in eastern China, while summer surface latent heat flux is higher than climatological values in the eastern and lower in the western. Seasonal variations of simulated temperature and precipitation of RIMES-AVIM agree with those of the observed. Simulated temperature is lower than the observed in the Tibetan Plateau and Northwest China for the whole year, slightly lower in the remaining regions in winter, but consistent with the observed in summer. The simulated temperature of RIEMS-AVIM is higher in winter and lower in summer than that of RIEMS, which shows that the simulated temperature of RIEMS-AVIM is closer to the observed value. Simulated precipitation is excessive in the first half of the year, but consistent with the observed in the second half of the year. The simulated summer precipitation of RIEMS-AVIM has significant improvement compared to that of RIEMS, which is less and closer to the observed value. The interannual variations of temperature and precipitation are also fairly well simulated, with temperature simulation being superior to precipitation simulation. The interannual variation of simulated temperature is significantly correlated with the observed in Northeast China, the Transition Region, South China, and the Tibetan Plateau, but the correlation between precipitation simulation and observation is only significant in Northwest China.

A Numerical Study on the Water Impact of the Rigid/Elastic Box-Like Structure

Recent damages to the box-like structures caused by wave slamming have made it necessary to study the impact problems of this kind of structure. This paper showed findings from numerical simulations of the rigid/elastic structures, aiming to gain insights into the characteristics of the problem. The results of the rigid cases showed the significance of air compressibility during the impact process, while the slamming phenomena became quite different without the effect. In the elastic cases, the trapped air made the structure vibrate at frequencies much smaller than its eigenfrequencies. Besides, the structural deformation made it easy for the trapped air to escape outwards, which weakened the air cushioning effect, especially at high impact velocities. The above analysis gives the results when the structural symmetry axis was vertical to the water(vertical impacts). In addition, the results were given when the axis was oblique to the water(oblique impacts). Compared with the vertical cases, the impact phenomena and structural response showed asymmetry. This work used the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) method to describe fluid motion and the finite element method(FEM) for the deformable structure. A two-way coupling approach was used to deal with the fluid-structure interaction in the elastic cases.

Droplet Motion and Phase Change Model with Two-Way Coupling

The droplet interacts intensively with surrounding gas when moving and evaporating in the gas,of which the mutual effects of the gas and the evaporating droplet need to be taken into account.For the typical droplet model,the gas parameters are usually considered as that at infinity and the local parameter variation surrounding the droplet is neglected,consequently leading to some discrepancies.This research tries to develop a new moving droplet phase change model with two-phase coupling which characterizes the local parameter variation of gas phase surrounding the evaporating droplet.Firstly,the interaction mechanism of two phases is presented based on the droplet evaporation phenomena.Then,the droplet motion and phase change model is developed through the theoretical derivation.Subsequently,the analysis of the evaporation characteristics of the injected droplets in the hot air is conducted to simulate the operation process of the containment spray system in the nuclear power station.The numerical simulation indicates the refined droplet model is more capable for precise prediction of the situations with large quantities of evaporating droplets and with intensive interactions between two phases.

TWO-WAY SIMULATIONS FROM REGCM2 COUPLING WITH SUCROS IN THE HUANG-HUAI-HAI-PLAIN IN EAST CHINA

A two-way coupling simulation from the NCAR's regional climate model REGCM2 (called R-2 hereafter) and the SUCROS model for crop growth developed by the Wageningen Agricultural University,the Netherlands (both models,when in combination,denoted as R/S) are carried out on the interactions between crops and atmosphere in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain in East China. Evidence suggests that the R/S simulations can depict pretty well the dynamic biology-based interactions between the factors,revealing reasonably both the day-to-day variations in leaf area index (LAI) and land surface physics therein,and particularly the improvement of the simulation, independently by use of the R-2,of summer precipitation and surface temperature in the research region.As a result,the present research is of significance to the further understanding of the interaction between the climate system and the terrestrial ecological systems.

Modeling of two-phase particulate flows in a confined jet with a focus on two-way coupling

A computational fluid dynamics model is used for the simulation of laminar flow ofwater-Al2O3 nanofluid in a confined slot impinging jet. The （steady-state and two-dimensional） Eulerian-Lagrangian model is used considering fluid-particle and particle-wall interactions （i.e., two-way coupling）. A collocated grid and the SIMPLE algorithm are used for the coupling of pressure and velocity fields. The deposition model is used to investigate the effect of particle deposition on the impingement surface. Results indicate that the particle trajectory becomes stable farther from the jet with a rising Reynolds number and jet- impingement surface distance ratio. The heat transfer coefficient of the mixture model is higher than that of the Eulerian-Lagrangican model.

In this paper, we propose a novel incompressible finite-difference lattice Boltzmann Equation （FDLBE）. Because source terms that reflect the interaction between phases can be accurately described, the new model is suitable for simulating two-way coupling incompressible multiphase flow The 2-D particle-laden flow over a backward-facing step is chosen as a test case to validate the present method. Favorable results are obtained and the present scheme is shown to have good prospects in practical applications.

RESEARCH ON THE EFFECT OF PARTICLE OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL SHEAR FLOW

The two-way coupling model was adopted to study the! two-dimensional gas-solid mixing layer. The flow was simulated by pseudo-spectral method and particles were traced with Lagrangian method. It is found that the concentration and the Stokes number of the particles have distinct effect on the flow not only accounting for the influence of the flow on the particles, but also the particles' counteraction on the flow. The particles accelerate the dispersion of the vorticity and inhibit the variance of the flow and diminish the intensity of the coherent structure. The lifetime of the vortex is shortened. The pattern of particles' distribution is similar to the results from one-way coupling model.

Numerical Simulation of Fluid Structure Interaction between Flow and Steel Pipe Pile Platform in Deep Water

In this paper, the two-way coupling of flow and steel pipe pile platform is simulated by ANSYS Workbench. Taking the construction platform in the deep water area of the Yangtze River Estuary as an example, the stress and deformation characteristics of the steel pipe pile platform under current force are analyzed in detail. As a result, it is suggested the platform piles should be arranged regularly and the connected node de-sign of the platform structure should be strengthened to ensure the safety.

Hydro-elastic computational analysis of a marine propeller using two-way fluid structure interaction

Marine propellers have complex geometry and their performance is determined by costly and time consuming open water experiments.Use of numerical techniques helps researchers in effective design of propellers.Several approaches are used that predicted either hydrodynamic and acoustic response or structural response.Two-way fluid-structure interaction(FSI)analysis is a very useful approach providing all three responses which helps in the design,analysis and optimization of a propeller.The objective of this paper is to predict the hydro-elastic response of a propeller using two-way FSI on a 0.2m diameter,DTMB-4119 propeller using ANSYS software.Two-way FSI analysis is carried out using system coupling approach that transfers the data between the structural and fluid solvers.The turbulence effects are captured using the large-eddy simulation(LES)model and the Ffowcs Williams Hawkings(FWH)acoustic model is used for evaluating the sound pressure level(SPL)generated by propeller.Analysis is extended to evaluate the hydro-elastic and acoustic response of the propeller after validating the hydrodynamic performance with the experimental result in the literature.The results from Two-way FSI analysis are in close agreement when compared with the one-way FSI analysis.Two-way FSI can accommodate the peak value of stress and deformation developed during the initial part of the transient solution which is important in the design of propeller.This study reveals that metallic(NAB)propeller can be replaced by a composite propeller.The acoustic response from two-way FSI analysis will be more realistic due to the consideration of hydro-elastic effect of propeller.

两相圆湍射流近场动态特性的大涡模拟(英文)

This article investigates the near-field dynamics in a particle-laden round turbulent jet in a large-eddy simulation （LES）. A point-force two-way coupling model is adopted in the simulation to reveal the particle modulation of turbulence. The particles mainly excite the initial instability of the jet and bring about the earlier breakup of vortex rings in the near-field. The flow fluc- tuating intensity either in the axial or in the radial directions is hence increased by particles. The article also describes the mean velocity modulated by particles. The changing statistical velocity induced by particle modulation implies the effects of modulation of the local flow structures. This study is expected to be useful to the control of two-phase turbulent jets.

HYDRODYNAMICS STABILITY OF BICKLEY JET WITH PARTICLE LADEN FLOW

The stability of Bickley jet with particle laden flow is investigated numerically. The stability characteristics are calculated for various Stokes numbers and particle concentrations. The results confirm the author＇s early calculations, which also shows that the numerical program is reliable. It is further shown that there is a critical value for the effect of Stokes number, which is about 2. The most damped mode occurs when Stokes number is of order of 10 for different particle concentrations and depends weakly on the wave number. The difference in the eigenfunctions and its derivatives between the particle-laden flow and the clean gas flow is insignificant for fine particles, while the difference for coarse particles is significant.

CFD-DEM simulation of the hole cleaning process in a deviated well drilling： The effects of particle shape

We investigate the effect of particle shape on the transportation mechanism in well-drilling using a three-dimensional model that couples computational fluid dynamics （CFD） with the discrete element method （DEM）. This numerical method allows us to incorporate the fluid-particle interactions （drag force, contact force, Saffman lift force, Magnus lift force, buoyancy force） using momentum exchange and the non-Newtonian behavior of the fluid. The interactions of particle-particle, particle-wall, and particle-drill pipe are taken into account with the Hertz-Mindlin model. We compare the transport of spheres with non-spherical particles （non-smooth sphere, disc, and cubic） constructed via the multi- sphere method for a range of fluid inlet velocities and drill pipe inclination angles. The simulations are carried out for laboratory-scale drilling configurations. Our results demonstrate good agreement with published experimental data. We evaluate the fluid-particle flow patterns, the particle velocities, and the particle concentration profiles. The results reveal that particle sphericity plays a major role in the fluid-solid interaction. The traditional assumption of an ideal spherical particle may cause inaccurate results.

A study on turbulence modulation via an analysis of turbulence anisotropy-invariants

We investigate the turbulence modulation by particles in a turbulent two-phase channel flow via an analysis of turbulence anisotropy-invariants. The fluid turbulence is calculated by a large eddy simulation with a point-force two-way coupling model and particles are tracked by the Lagrangian trajectory method. The channel turbulence follows the two-component turbulence state within the viscous sub-layer region and outside the region the turbulence tends to follow the right curve of the anisotropy-invariant. The channel turbulence, interacting with heavy particles, is modulated to the two-component turbulence limit state near the wall and is separate from the axisymmetric turbulence state in the turbulence anisotropy-invariants map. The fluctuations of streamwise component are transferred to the other two components and hence the anisotropy decreases due to particle modulation. The study has deepened the understanding of the turbulence modulation mechanism in two-phase turbulent flows.

Suppression of vortex-induced vibrations of a flexible riser by adding helical strakes

3-D computational fluid dynamics/ computational structure dynamics (CFD/CSD) numerical two-way coupling simulations are conducted for a flexible rise in order to study the dynamic response performance of the riser with and without helical strakes exposed to the vortex-induced vibration (VIV). The VIV responses of a PVC riser without helical strakes are computed and compared with experimental data, to verify the accuracy of the present two-way coupling method. Subsequently, the dynamic behaviors of a short PVC riser with different kinds of helical strakes are studied. The vibration amplitudes along the riser, the trajectories of the riser's monitor point and the vortex shedding contours are obtained in a series of simulations. The helical strakes5 VIV suppression mechanisms are found involving the breaking of the vortex structures and the reduction of the vortex shedding frequency of the bare riser. Moreover, a good suppression effect can be achieved by attaching the helical strake structure with a reasonable geometrical configuration (such as the appropriate strake height, strake pitch, the number of starts and strake coverages) to the flexible riser. The effect is also diverse at different reduced velocity (Ur). The remarkable effect is found at Ur = l for the short riser, with about 97% reduction in the transverse vibration response.

Effect of Stokes number on energy modulation of the fluid in turbulent particle-laden channel flows

The effect of Stokes number on the kinetic energy(KE)budget in particle-laden turbulent channel flows is examined by conducting two-way coupled direct numerical simulations using the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach.The friction Reynolds number of the single phase channel flow is Re_(τ)=180,the particle mass loading and volume fraction areφ_(m)=0.2,φ_(v)≈10−4,and the Stokes numbers range from St^(+)=14–92.The statistics show that due to the presence of solid particles,the mean velocity is reduced in the vicinity of the wall but enhanced in the outer region,and the off-streamwise intensity of fluctuated velocity and the Reynolds stress are reduced in the whole channel.The analysis on the budgets of turbulent kinetic energy(TKE)finds that the presence of particles induces a significant reduction on both the production and dissipation rates.With increasing Stokes number St^(+),both the production and dissipation rates exhibit non-monotonical trends,i.e.,both initially decrease for St^(+)<40 and then transit to growth after St^(+)>40.This suggests that the particle-induced suppression on TKE production and dissipation is the strongest nearly at St^(+)=40.It is also found that particles act as an additional sink/source term in the budgets of both mean-flow kinetic energy(MKE)and TKE.In addition,we investigate the influence of St^(+)on the“zero point”which indicates the balance of exchanging energy between the particle and fluid phases.It is shown that with increasing St^(+),the“zero point”moves toward the wall,suggesting that the position of perfect following between particle and fluid is closer to the wall with larger St^(+).The present results reveal the Stokes number effects on the spatial transport mechanisms of MKE,TKE in turbulent channel flows laden with inertial particles.
