The lift coefficient (C_(L)), drag coefficient (C_(D)), and vortex shedding of the underwater manipulator in single-and dualarm forms were obtained. Results indicated that the maximum increase in the lift and drag coefficients subjected to the pulsation parameters was 24.45%and 28%, respectively, when the fluid flowed past a single arm. Compared with the single arm, the lift and drag coefficients of the arms were higher than those of the single arm when arm 2 was located upstream. Additionally, the pulsation frequency had no obvious effect on the manipulator, but the C_(L) and C_(D) of arm 2 showed an obvious increasing trend with an increase in pulsation amplitude. Meanwhile, when arm 2 was located downstream, the C_(L) and C_(D) of arm 2 were reduced by 16.38%and 1.15%, respectively, with an increase in the pulse frequency,and the maximum increase in the lift and dragcoefficients was 33.33%and 16.78%,respectively,with increasing pulsation amplitude.Moreover, the downstream wake morphology changed significantly, and a combined vortex phenomenon appeared. Finally, a theoretical basis for examining the hydrodynamic characteristics of marine engineering equipment was established to aid future marine resource exploitation.展开更多

The hydraulic transformer evolves from a pressure transducer to a power transducer. The flow characteristics of VHT, such as its instantaneous flow rates, average flow rates, and flow pulsations in the ports, are investigated. Matlab software is used to simulate and calculate. There are five controlled angles of the port plate that can help to define the flow characteristics of VHT. The relationships between the flow characteristics and the structure in VHT are shown. Also, the plus-minus change of the average flow rates and the continuity of the instantaneous flow rates in the ports are presented. The results demonstrate the performance laws of VHT when the controlled angles of the port plate and of the swash plate change. The results also reveal that the special principle of the flow pulsation in the ports and the jump points of the instantaneous curves are the two basic causes of its loud noise, and that the control angles of the port plate and the swash plate and the pressures in the ports are the three key factors of the noise.展开更多

A novel tube with half-wedged shape at the end(HW-tube) is prepared, with both sidewall and wedged part of the HW-tube insulated. Only the flat part is utilized to provide electric field for electrochemical drilling. By rotating the HW-tube, both flow field and electric field in pulsating state are generated, alternating in different positions within the inter-electrode gap(IEG). The pulsating flow field enhances the mass transfer process, while pulsating electric field disperses material dissolution process and distribution of electrolytic byproducts. Both pulsating fields are coupled at the same frequency, further enhancing the electrochemical drilling process. Simulation results indicate that both flow field and electric field in pulsating state are generated. Compared to the traditional tube, the HW-tube significantly reduces the number of residual particles in IEG, and this number is further reduced by increasing the rotation speed. Experimental results reveal that the surface quality and dimensional uniformity of small hole are improved with HW-tube. With feed rate of 2.22 mm/min, a small hole with diameter of 1.52± 0.017 mm is drilled, resulting in a surface roughness of 0.331 μm.展开更多

In this report, the heat transfer performance of the pulsating airflow around the heating pillar mounted in the rectangular enclosure was investigated experimentally while changing the size of the clearance between the enclosure wall and the pillar. The pillar simulates the components mounted in thermal equipment such as fins and electrical components. The rectangular enclosure simulates an enclosure of electronic equipment and heat exchangers. The shape of the cross section of the pillar was square having sides 30 mm. The dimension of the width of the enclosure was changed from 50 mm to 80 mm. It was found that the heat transfer performance of the pulsating airflow became higher than that of the steady flow regardless of the dimension of the clearance. The heat transfer enhancement around heating components by the pulsating flow can be available regardless of the clearance around the components.展开更多

Computational fluid dynam- ics using Navier-Stokes equations for the gas phase coupled with the discrete element method using Newton＇s laws for the solid phase have been employed. Results indicate that increasing the fluidizing velocity diminishes dead zones and increases both the total height of the bed and the traversed distance by particles in the steady spout-fluid bed. In pulsed airfows, two configurations are investigated, namely, the spouted pulsed-fluidized bed with pulsed flow of the fluidizing velocity, and the pulsed-spouted flu- idized bed with pulsed flow of the spouting velocity. The positive effect of pulsation on particle motion is shown and the effects of parameters, such as amplitude and frequency, on the dynamics of the bed are investigated in each configuration. An increase of up to 19% in traversed distance is found for the range studied, which suggests flow pulsation as a promising technique for increasing particle mixing in spout-fluid beds.展开更多

A numerical method based on finite volume method is used to discretize the governing equations. At the inlet of the channel, pulsating velocity is imposed for a range of Strouhal numbers Stpfrom 0 to 1 and amplitude Apfrom 0 to 0.5. The effects of the governing parameters, such as frequency and amplitude of the pulsation, Richardson number, Ri, and aspect ratio of the cavity, L/H, on the flow field, temperature distribution, average Nusselt number and average entropy generation, are numerically analyzed. The results indicate that the heat transfer and entropy generation are strongly affected by the frequency and amplitude of the pulsation and this depends on the Richardson number and aspect ratio of the cavity. The pulsation is more effective with the aspect ratio of the cavity L/H= 1.5 in terms of heat transfer enhancement and entropy generation minimization.展开更多

The governing equations were made dimensionless. The Rubin boundary condition was adopted. The flow field was solved theoretically and the temperature field was obtained using finite volume method. A general model suitable for various fluctuating characteristics and physical parameters was established. The Deborah number(De) was used to characterize the fluidity of the fluid. The influence of De on flow and temperature fields was evaluated. The Nusselt number and start-up process of Maxwell fluid were studied. Results showed that the influence of De on flow field was greater than that on temperature field. The effect of De on Nusselt number was irregular and related to the oscillation parameters. The over-shooting amplitude and oscillation time of axis center velocity in start-up flow grow larger with De.展开更多

Acoustic field of the standard cavity model is simulated by using the computational fluid dynamics technology based on scale-adaptive simulation （SAS） model. The results obtained by the proposed method in this paper show reasonable agreement with experiments. On the basis of this, effect of different jet flow rates on the time-averaged variables, turbulent kinetic energy, root mean square （RMS） of sound pressure, sound sources distribution and the pulsating pressure distribution in the cavity is studied. The analysis shows that the jet flow has great influence on the cavity flow field and the distribution of pulsating pressure RMS by changing the morphology of the shear layer. The most obvious of these measures is spout4 configuration, the influence mainly in the form of reducing the pulsating pressure of the whole cavity and changing the sound pressure level in the far field. The results show that different jet flow rates have different control effects on pulsating pressure in the cavity and sound pressure level in the far field. Furthermore, the jet flow rates and the suppression effect on the pulsating pressure have no linear relation.展开更多

The pillar simulates the components mounted in thermal equipment such as fins and electrical components. The rectangular enclosure simulates an enclosure of electronic equipment and heat exchangers. The shape of the cross section of the pillar was square having sides 30 mm. The dimension of the width of the enclosure was changed from 50 mm to 80 mm. It was found that the heat transfer performance of the pulsating airflow became higher than that of the steady flow regardless of the dimension of the clearance. The heat transfer enhancement around heating components by the pulsating flow can be available regardless of the clearance around the components.

文摘Heat engines based on reciprocating machines remain in demand as energy converters in a variety of industries around the world.The aim of the study was to evaluate the gas-dynamic,consumable and heat exchange characteristics of non-stationary air flows in a supply system with transverse profiling of valve channels based on experimental studies.Valve channels with cross sections in the form of a circle,square and triangle were used to control the consumable and heat exchange characteristics of the flows in the supply system of the reciprocatingengine model.The article presents data on changes in local velocity,volumetric airflow and instantaneous heat transfer coefficient of non-stationary airflow in supply systems with different valve channel designs.A spectral analysis of the pulsations of the local heat transfer coefficient was also performed.The Nusselt number was calculated for the studied supply systems.The figured valve channels lead to an increase in the volumetric airflow through the supply systemupto32%comparedwiththe basic configuration.The useof a square valve channel leads to suppression of heat transfer(drop is about 15%)compared to the basic supply system,and the use of a triangular valve channel causes an intensification of heat transfer(growth is about 17.5%).The obtained data can be useful for refining mathematical models,adjusting machine learning algorithms,and improving design methods for supply systems of reciprocating machines to improve their technical,economic,and environmental characteristics.

文摘Traditional single-acting piezoelectric-hydraulic hybrid actuators usually have the problem of inertial force caused by flow pulsation of the liquid,which degrades their output performance.To suppress or solve the associated inertial force and enhance its output capabilities,this paper proposes a new type of double-acting piezoelectric-hydraulic hybrid actuator with four check valves acting as mechanical diodes.The new hybrid actuator was fabricated and its output performance was tested.When the voltage is 700 Vp-pand the bias pressure is 2 MPa,the pulsation ratesδof the new actuator at 400 Hz,500 Hz and 600 Hz are 2.29,2.08 and 1.78,respectively,whileδof the single-acting hybrid actuator under the same conditions are 10.98,11.05 and 17.12.Therefore,the liquid pulsation rate of the new hybrid actuator is significantly reduced,which is beneficial for improving the flow uniformity and weakening the influence of inertial force on the hybrid actuator.This strategy ultimately leads to a maximum no-load velocity of 168.1 mm/s at 600 Hz and a maximum blocking force of 141 N at 450 Hz for the new hybrid actuator.In addition,this strategy has the potential to be used in other electrohydrostatic actuators to improve their performance.

文摘In this paper,the nonlinear parametric vibration of fluid-conveying pipes flexibly restrained at both ends and subjected to the pulsation flow excitation is investigated.The nonlinear equation of motion is derived using Hamilton^principle by considering the Kevin-Voigt viscoelastic damping,the geometric nonlinearity and the translational and rotational springs supported at the ends.The mode functions and eigen-frequencies are determined by the assumed mode method according to the elastic boundary conditions.The Galerkin method is implemented to obtain the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the pipe conveying fluid with different flow velocities.The effects of flexibly restrained conditions on stability of the pipe are analyzed.The nonlinear responses of the pipe under pulsating flow excitation are solved by the direct numerical method.The vibration behaviors are discussed in details,such as time history,frequency spectrum,phase-plane portrait,Poincare map and motion trajectory.The results show that the responses of sub-harmonic resonance and combination resonance can also be reflected in the rigidly supported pipes.The 1/5,1/8 and 1/13 sub-harmonic resonances can occur at certain excitation frequencies of the nonlinear parametric vibration system.The steady-state response amplitudes increase by a large margin and significantly affect the stability of the pipe.The effects of different spring stiffness coefficients on the parametric resonance responses are presented.For larger translational springs and rotational stiffness coefficients,the resonance frequencies shift to higher regions and the resonance amplitudes may reduce by a certain extent in accordance with the rigid-body motion.This study can provide helpful guidance on the analysis and design of piping systems subject to vibrations.

文摘The single cylinder and multi-cylinder pumping dynamics model of a swash plate piston pump were improved.Particular attention has been paid to the design influences of key parts of the valve plate such as relief groove,pre-compression/ expansion and fluid inertia effect of the unsteady flow.Some important parameters,such as the discharge area,discharge coefficient,fluid bulk modulus,were especially analyzed using numerical methods or by experiment-based estimation.Consequently,the mathematical results of pressure pulsation and flow ripple agree well with experimental results from the test-rig of the flow ripple.Therefore,the cross angle and the pre-compression angle of the valve plate was optimized,based on the pumping dynamics model.Considering both the flow ripple and the cylinder pressure of the pump,the cross angle is set to be 2.2° to 2.7° with a pre-compression angle of 1.7° to 2.2°,so the pumping dynamics character can obtain the best result.

文摘The nonlinear dynamic behaviors of viscoelastic axially functionally graded material(AFG)pipes conveying pulsating internal flow are very complex.And the dynamic behavior will induce the failure of the pipes,and research of vibration and stability of pipes becomes a major concern.Considering that the elastic modulus,density,and coefficient of viscoelastic damping of the pipe material vary along the axial direction,the transverse vibration equation of the viscoelastic AFG pipe conveying pulsating fluid is established based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.The generalized integral transform technique(GITT)is used to transform the governing fourth-order partial differential equation into a nonlinear system of fourth-order ordinary differential equations in time.The time domain diagram,phase portraits,Poincarémap and power spectra diagram at different dimensionless pulsation frequencies,are discussed in detail,showing the characteristics of chaotic,periodic,and quasi-periodic motion.The results show that the distributions of the elastic modulus,density,and coefficient of viscoelastic damping have significant effects on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the viscoelastic AFG pipes.With the increase of the material property coefficient k,the transition between chaotic,periodic,and quasi-periodic motion occurs,especially in the high-frequency region of the flow pulsation.

文摘Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and Kelvin-Voigt model,a nonlinear model for the transverse vibration of a pipe under the combined action of base motion and pulsating internal flow is established.The governing partial differential equation is transformed into a nonlinear system of fourth-order ordinary differential equations by using the generalized integral transform technique(GITT).The effects of the combined excitation of base motion and pulsating internal flow on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the pipe are investigated using a bifurcation diagram,phase trajectory diagram,power spectrum diagram,time-domain diagram,and Poincare map.The results show that the base excitation amplitude and frequency significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the pipe system.Some new resonance phenomena can be observed,such as the period-1 motion under the base excitation or the pulsating internal flow alone becomes the multi-periodic motion,quasi-periodic motion or even chaotic motion due to the combined excitation action.
文摘Effects of variable airflow on particle motion in spout-fluid beds are studied. Computational fluid dynam- ics using Navier-Stokes equations for the gas phase coupled with the discrete element method using Newton＇s laws for the solid phase have been employed. Results indicate that increasing the fluidizing velocity diminishes dead zones and increases both the total height of the bed and the traversed distance by particles in the steady spout-fluid bed. In pulsed airfows, two configurations are investigated, namely, the spouted pulsed-fluidized bed with pulsed flow of the fluidizing velocity, and the pulsed-spouted flu- idized bed with pulsed flow of the spouting velocity. The positive effect of pulsation on particle motion is shown and the effects of parameters, such as amplitude and frequency, on the dynamics of the bed are investigated in each configuration. An increase of up to 19% in traversed distance is found for the range studied, which suggests flow pulsation as a promising technique for increasing particle mixing in spout-fluid beds.
文摘In this study, the entropy generation and the heat transfer of pulsating air flow in a horizontal channel with an open cavity heated from below with uniform temperature distribution are numerically investigated. A numerical method based on finite volume method is used to discretize the governing equations. At the inlet of the channel, pulsating velocity is imposed for a range of Strouhal numbers Stpfrom 0 to 1 and amplitude Apfrom 0 to 0.5. The effects of the governing parameters, such as frequency and amplitude of the pulsation, Richardson number, Ri, and aspect ratio of the cavity, L/H, on the flow field, temperature distribution, average Nusselt number and average entropy generation, are numerically analyzed. The results indicate that the heat transfer and entropy generation are strongly affected by the frequency and amplitude of the pulsation and this depends on the Richardson number and aspect ratio of the cavity. The pulsation is more effective with the aspect ratio of the cavity L/H= 1.5 in terms of heat transfer enhancement and entropy generation minimization.

文摘The flow and heat transfer characteristics of Maxwell fluid in a pipe under pulsating pressure gradient were studied. The governing equations were made dimensionless. The Rubin boundary condition was adopted. The flow field was solved theoretically and the temperature field was obtained using finite volume method. A general model suitable for various fluctuating characteristics and physical parameters was established. The Deborah number(De) was used to characterize the fluidity of the fluid. The influence of De on flow and temperature fields was evaluated. The Nusselt number and start-up process of Maxwell fluid were studied. Results showed that the influence of De on flow field was greater than that on temperature field. The effect of De on Nusselt number was irregular and related to the oscillation parameters. The over-shooting amplitude and oscillation time of axis center velocity in start-up flow grow larger with De.

文摘The present study focuses on the influence of the swirling flows on flow behaviors and performance of a radial-flow turbocharger turbine under pulsating inflow condition.To characterize the effects of swirling flow,three sets of simulations of the turbine were carried out,which are an unsteady simulation under pulsating swirling inflow,an unsteady simulation under equivalent pulsating uniform inflow,and quasi-steady simulations under uniform inflow.Results proved that swirling flow has a considerable negative influence on turbine instantaneous performance and lead to 2.5%cycle-averaged efficiency reduction under pulsating flow condition.Swirling inflow would lead to significant losses in both the volute and the rotor,while the pulsating inflow leads to higher losses in the rotor and shows little influence on the losses in the volute.The instantaneous efficiency reduction of the turbine could be correlated with the time-varying inlet swirl strength.Under the influence of unsteady inlet swirls,the volute flow field is highly distorted and the free vortex relation is no longer valid.The swirling flow has strong interactions with the wake flow of the volute tongue,leading to additional losses.Relative flow angle at rotor inlet is remarkably reduced and its distribution is significantly distorted.Strong separation flows and passage vortices would appear in the rotor because of the swirling inflow,leading to inferior rotor performance.
文摘The suppression of the aerodynamic noise in the cavity has a great significance to solve relevant puzzles of weapon bays. Acoustic field of the standard cavity model is simulated by using the computational fluid dynamics technology based on scale-adaptive simulation （SAS） model. The results obtained by the proposed method in this paper show reasonable agreement with experiments. On the basis of this, effect of different jet flow rates on the time-averaged variables, turbulent kinetic energy, root mean square （RMS） of sound pressure, sound sources distribution and the pulsating pressure distribution in the cavity is studied. The analysis shows that the jet flow has great influence on the cavity flow field and the distribution of pulsating pressure RMS by changing the morphology of the shear layer. The most obvious of these measures is spout4 configuration, the influence mainly in the form of reducing the pulsating pressure of the whole cavity and changing the sound pressure level in the far field. The results show that different jet flow rates have different control effects on pulsating pressure in the cavity and sound pressure level in the far field. Furthermore, the jet flow rates and the suppression effect on the pulsating pressure have no linear relation.

文摘Transdermal drug delivery(TDD)system based on piezoelectric micropumps is a novel route of drug delivery that is wearable and highly patient-compliant.The advantage of valveless micropumps,such as their simple structure,high reliability and low cost,have been investigated in comparison to valve-based micropumps.However,the flow pulsation and backflow effect of valveless pump can reduce the controllability and precision of the system.Here,a TDD wearable device integrated with a dual-pump parallel valveless piezoelectric micropump and hollow microneedle array is presented,which is fabricated by means of 3D printing technology.The simulation analysis and experimental results indicate that the dual-pump parallel micropump with asynchronous driving can achieve a full forward flow and reduces the influence of flow pulsation on the system’s stability,showing the excellent controllability and high precision of the device.The output flow rate and pressure of the micropump can be controlled by the driving signal,which are about 1.61 mL/min and 700 Pa with the sine driving signal of 40 V,600 Hz.Through animal experiments,we demonstrate that the device can successfully deliver insulin to mice and control blood glucose.In conclusion,this TDD device which potentially provides low-cost and high-precision results than existing technologies,shows considerable promise in wearable drug delivery applications,especially in managing chronic diseases that require long-term treatment.
