Signals obtained from a Venturi meter were decomposed into dif-ferent intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with HHT, then the energy fraction of each intrinsic mode and the mean value of residual function were calculated, from which the rules of flow regime identification were summarized. Experiments were carried out on two-phase flow in the horizontal tubes with 50mm and 40mm inner diameter, while water flowrate was in the range of 1.3m3·h-1 to 10.5m3·h-1, oil flowrate was from 4.2m3·h-1 to 7.0m3·h-1 and gas flowrate from 0 to 15m3·h-1. The results show that the proposed rules have high precision for single phase, bubbly, and slug, plug flow re-gime identification, which are independent of not only properties of two-phase fluid. In addition, the method can meet the need of industrial application because of its simple calculation.展开更多

The orientational distributions of the fibres are presented for different Reynolds numbers, Stokes numbers, shear rate and fibre aspect ratio. Some computational results are compared with the experimental data of pipe flow, and the qualitative agreement is achieved. The results show that the orientational distributions are greatly affected by the Reynolds numbers, while relatively insensitive to the fibre aspect ratio. The Stokes number and shear rate have obvious influence on the orientation distribution.展开更多

We first take several typical time series for example to investigate the characteristic of the MS-CECP and find that the MS-CECP not only describes the continuous loss of dynamical structure with the increase of scale, but also reflects the determinacy of the system. Then we calculate the MS-CECP for the conductance fluctuating signals measured from oil–water two-phase flow loop test facility. The results indicate that the MS-CECP could be an intrinsic measure for indicating oil-in-water two-phase flow structures.展开更多

Detailed analytical solutions for the space-averaged equations and the numerical method for the solutions of the disturbance equations are given. An iterative arithm of coupled equations with respect to space-averaged velocities and disturbance velocities is suggested. The study shows that a three-dimensional subsidiary stress layer exists in the near-wall region. The relative roughness, wavenumber and Reynolds number are three important parameters influencing the subsidiary stresses and the space-averaged pressure drop. The space-averaged pressure drop subject to an invariable flow rate mainly depends on the position of datum surface. When the datum surface is taken at the balance position of wall function, the value of pressure drop is determined by the dynamic characteristics of the flow.展开更多

All signals at the above positions were superimposed to eliminate the clutters. The insertion loss(IL) of the material was finally calculated by extracting the desired waveforms. In the measured frequency range of 3–20 k Hz, the aluminum plate with size of 1.1 m × 1.0 m × 8 mm and the round aluminum plate with 0.5 m in diameter and 8 mm in thickness were measured in a reverberant tank with size of 5.5 m × 3.5 m × 3.5 m. Results showed the measured lowest effective frequency limit can be reduced by the virtual end-fire array technique compared with the conventional method.In the measurement of round aluminum plate and rectangular aluminum plate, errors in the effective measurement band was less than 0.5 d B and the interference of the acoustic multipath propagation effects was reduced effectively. The ability of the transducer in reverberant tank to measure acoustic materials has been improved after implementing this method.展开更多
