The algorithm automaticallyadjusts the size of the elements with time and position in the physical domain to resolvethe relevant scales in multiscale physical systems while minimizing computationalcosts. The algorithm is a generalization of the moving mesh methods basedon harmonic mappings developed by Li et al. [J. Comput. Phys., 170 (2001), pp. 562-588, and 177 (2002), pp. 365-393]. To make 3D moving mesh simulations possible,the key is to develop an efficient mesh redistribution procedure so that this part willcost as little as possible comparing with the solution evolution part. Since the meshredistribution procedure normally requires to solve large size matrix equations, wewill describe a procedure to decouple the matrix equation to a much simpler blocktridiagonaltype which can be efficiently solved by a particularly designed multi-gridmethod. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed 3D moving mesh strategy,the algorithm is implemented in finite element simulations of fluid-fluid interface interactionsin multiphase flows. To demonstrate the main ideas, we consider the formationof drops by using an energetic variational phase field model which describesthe motion of mixtures of two incompressible fluids.

In this paper, we propose a new method that integrates the molecular dynamics （MD） simulation and LBM to avoid such defect. The basic idea is to first construct a molecular model based on the actual components of the rock-fluid system, then to compute the interaction force between the rock and the fluid of different densities through the MD simulation. This calculated rock-fluid interaction force, combined with the fluid-fluid force determined from the equation of state, is then used in LBM modeling. Without parameter fitting, this study presents a new systematic approach for pore-scale modeling of multi-phase flow. We have validated this ap- proach by simulating a two-phase separation process and gas-liquid-solid three-phase contact angle. Based on an actual X-ray CT image of a reservoir core, we applied our workflow to calculate the absolute permeability of the core, vapor-liquid H20 relative permeability, and capillary pressure curves.展开更多

The slugging flow can cause a lot of problems, such as those relevant to production safety~ fatigue as well as capability. As one typical phenomenon in multi-phase flow dynamics, the slug can be avoided or eliminated by proper facility d^sign or control of operational conditions. Based on a testing facility which can emulate a pipeline-riser or a gas-lifted production well in a scaled-down manner, this paper experimentally studies the correlations of key operational parameters with severe Slugging flows. These correlations are reflected through an obtained stable surface in the parameter space, which is a natural extension of the bifurcation plot. The maximal production opportunity without compromising the stability is also studied. Relevant studies have already showed that the capability, performance and efficiency of anti-slug control can be dramatically improved if these stable surfaces can be experimentally determined beforehand. The paper concludes that obtaining the stable surface on the new developed map can significantly improve the production rate in a control scheme. Even though the production rate can be further improved by moving the stable surface using advanced control strategies, the constant inputs can in some cases be preferable due to the easier implementation.展开更多

However, it frequently occurs that a large amount of slotting products （mainly the coal slurry and gas） intensely spurt out of the borehole during the slotting, which adversely affects the slotting efficiency. Despite extensive previous investigations on the mechanism and prevention-device design of the spurt during ordinary borehole drilling, a very few studies has focused on the spurt in the s Ottlng pro ] ＂ _ cess. The slotting spurt is mainly caused by two reasons： the coal and gas outburst in the borehole and the borehole deslagging blockage. This paper focuses on the second reason, and investigates the hydraulic deslagging flow patterns in the annular space between the drill pipe and borehole wall Results show that there are six deslagging flow patterns when the drill pipe is still： pure slurry flow, pure gas flow, bubble flow, intermittent flow, layering flow and annular flow. When the drill pipe rotates, each of those six flow patterns changes due to the Taylor vortex effect. Outcomes of this study could help to better understand the slotting-spurt mechanism and provide guidance on the anti-spurt strategies through eliminating the borehole deslagging blockage.展开更多

文摘Based on reanalysis data and CMIP6 simulations,this study investigates the distinct responses of the cross-equatorial flows(CEFs)over the Maritime Continent(MC)under the simultaneous summer condition of two types of ENSO:central Pacific(CP)and eastern Pacific(EP).Results indicate that CP ENSO tends to exert stronger impacts on CEF.In CP ENSO years,significant lower-level southerly anomalies can be observed across all CEF branches adjacent to MC,accompanied by broader and deeper upper-level northerly anomalies,indicating a well-organized strengthening of both upper-and lowerlevel CEFs.In contrast,CEF anomalies in EP ENSO years tend to be weaker,with significant meridional wind anomalies confined to the east of MC.The disparities in the CEF responses can be elucidated from the perspective of convection over MC,a crucial factor in triggering CEF.In CP ENSO years,westward-leaning sea surface temperature(SST)anomalies result in a distinct cooling in MC and suppressed convection above,driving pronounced CEF anomalies.Conversely,the absence of such organized SST cooling during EP ENSO results in weaker convective forcing and subdued CEF responses.Furthermore,historical simulations from 48 CMIP6 models are utilized to validate the observational findings.Results show that model simulations can successfully reproduce the stronger impacts of CP ENSO,with a remarkable intermodel consistency.This research contributes toward a comprehensive understanding of the diversity in the relationship between CEF and ENSO types,and has implications for seasonal forecasting of CEF variability.

文摘A comprehensive assessment of grain supply,demand,and ecosystem service flows is essential for identifying grain movement pathways,ensuring regional grain security,and guiding sustainable management strategies.However,current studies primarily focus on short-term grain provision services while neglecting the spatiotemporal variations in grain flows across different scales.This gap limits the identification of dynamic matching relationships and the formulation of optimization strategies for balancing grain flows.This study examined the spatiotemporal evolution of grain supply and demand in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei(BTH)region from 1980 to 2020.Using the Enhanced TwoStep Floating Catchment Area method,the grain provision ecosystem service flows were quantified,the changes in supply–demand matching under different grain flow scenarios were analyzed and the optimal distance threshold for grain flows was investigated.The results revealed that grain production follows a spatial distribution pattern characterized by high levels in the southeast and low levels in the northwest.A significant mismatch exists between supply and demand,and it shows a scale effect.Deficit areas are mainly concentrated in the northwest,while surplus areas are mainly located in the central and southern regions.As the spatial scale increases,the ecosystem service supply–demand ratio(SDR)classification becomes more clustered,while it exhibits greater spatial SDR heterogeneity at smaller scales.This study examined two distinct scenarios of grain provision ecosystem service flow dynamics based on 100 and 200 km distance thresholds.The flow increased significantly,from 2.17 to 11.81million tons in the first scenario and from 2.41 to 12.37 million tons in the second scenario over nearly 40 years,forming a spatial movement pattern from the central and southern regions to the surrounding areas.Large flows were mainly concentrated in the interior of urban centers,with significant outflows between cities such as Baoding,Shijiazhuang,Xingtai,and Hengshui.At the county scale,supply–demand matching patterns remained consistent between the grain flows in the two scenarios.Notably,incorporating grain flow dynamics significantly reduced the number of grain-deficit areas compared to scenarios without grain flow.In 2020,grain-deficit counties decreased by28.79 and 37.88%,and cities by 12.50 and 25.0%under the two scenarios,respectively.Furthermore,the distance threshold for achieving optimal supply and demand matching at the county scale was longer than at the city scale in both grain flow scenarios.This study provides valuable insights into the dynamic relationships and heterogeneous patterns of grain matching,and expands the research perspective on grain and ecosystem service flows across various spatiotemporal scales.

文摘Developing advanced acoustic treatments,such as the Multi-Degree-of-Freedom(MDOF)septum liner,to realize the broadband noise reduction is critical for silent aeroengines.This study investigates experimentally the MDOF septum liner and its impedance model on the Beihang Grazing Flow Duct(BGFD)setup,over a wide frequency range under grazing flows up to 0.5 Mach number and Sound Pressure Level(SPL)up to 150 dB,typically encountered in aeroengine nacelles.Several specimens varying in the numbers,types,and depths of septa among units are designed,fabricated,and measured.Their impedances and Transmission Losses(TL)are obtained using the mirror-based multimodal straightforward method and the mode decomposition technique,respectively.Generally,the model predictions show good agreement with the educed impedances in all cases,and such liners with a large-porosity facesheet exhibit low acoustic nonlinearities in the presence of high SPL,especially under high-velocity grazing flows.Moreover,a MDOF liner we delicately designed,compared with a conventional broadband three-layer perforated liner as the reference,is close to the resonant state at more frequencies and thus has higher and wider measured TL spectra almost from 1 kHz up to 10 kHz at studied Mach numbers,under the premise of saving 22.7 mm in the thickness.These show that,the MDOF septum liner,if well designed,can achieve an ultra-broadband efficient sound attenuation using more limited spaces in complex aeroacoustic environments.
文摘Circumferentially non-uniform tip clearances induced by rotor eccentricity significantly affect the overall performance of axial compressors,particularly the stability margin.Currently,Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)plays a crucial role in the aerodynamic analysis of eccentric compressors.However,conventional full-annulus Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(URANS)simulations are prohibitively expensive for routine design and analysis purposes.To address this issue,the paper presents a novel Fourier-based method,called the Time-Space Collocation(TSC)method,for efficient simulations of eccentric compressors.This method coherently treats temporal and spatial harmonics,making it well-suited to tackle the rotor eccentricity problem,as the perturbation waves induced by eccentricity are time-periodic with respect to the rotor and space-periodic with respect to the stator.Three numerical cases,including NASA Rotor 67,original Stage 67,and Stage 67 with a reduced rotor-stator axial gap,were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the TSC method.The results indicate that,for the rotor eccentricity levels studied in this paper,the influence of weak rotor-stator interactions can be disregarded in the original Stage 67.In this situation,applying three harmonics can accurately capture both the performance variations and the non-uniformly distributed flowfields of eccentric compressors,while achieving a reduction in run time by two orders of magnitude compared to full-annulus URANS simulations.However,in Stage 67 with a reduced rotor-stator axial gap,the results that include rotor-stator interactions align much more closely with the URANS results.Nevertheless,the TSC simulations can still achieve speed-ups of several dozen times.Overall,the TSC method shows promising potential for application within the engineering community.

文摘Water electrolyzers play a crucial role in green hydrogen production.However,their efficiency and scalability are often compromised by bubble dynamics across various scales,from nanoscale to macroscale components.This review explores multi-scale modeling as a tool to visualize multi-phase flow and improve mass transport in water electrolyzers.At the nanoscale,molecular dynamics(MD)simulations reveal how electrode surface features and wettability influence nanobubble nucleation and stability.Moving to the mesoscale,models such as volume of fluid(VOF)and lattice Boltzmann method(LBM)shed light on bubble transport in porous transport layers(PTLs).These insights inform innovative designs,including gradient porosity and hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterning,aimed at minimizing gas saturation.At the macroscale,VOF simulations elucidate two-phase flow regimes within channels,showing how flow field geometry and wettability affect bubble discharging.Moreover,artificial intelligence(AI)-driven surrogate models expedite the optimization process,allowing for rapid exploration of structural parameters in channel-rib flow fields and porous flow field designs.By integrating these approaches,we can bridge theoretical insights with experimental validation,ultimately enhancing water electrolyzer performance,reducing costs,and advancing affordable,high-efficiency hydrogen production.

文摘In the petroleum industry,detection of multi-phase fluid flow is very important in both surface and down-hole measurements.Accurate measurement of high rate of water or gas multi-phase flow has always been an academic and industrial focus.NMR is an efficient and accurate technique for the detection of fluids;it is widely used in the determination of fluid compositions and properties.This paper is aimed to quantitatively detect multi-phase flow in oil and gas wells and pipelines and to propose an innovative method for online nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)detection.The online NMR data acquisition,processing and interpretation methods are proposed to fill the blank of traditional methods.A full-bore straight tube design without pressure drop,a Halbach magnet structure design with zero magnetic leakage outside the probe,a separate antenna structure design without flowing effects on NMR measurement and automatic control technology will achieve unattended operation.Through the innovation of this work,the application of NMR for the real-time and quantitative detection of multi-phase flow in oil and gas wells and pipelines can be implemented.
文摘Most current lattice Boltzmann （LBM） models suffer from the deficiency that their parameters have to be obtained by fitting experimental results. In this paper, we propose a new method that integrates the molecular dynamics （MD） simulation and LBM to avoid such defect. The basic idea is to first construct a molecular model based on the actual components of the rock-fluid system, then to compute the interaction force between the rock and the fluid of different densities through the MD simulation. This calculated rock-fluid interaction force, combined with the fluid-fluid force determined from the equation of state, is then used in LBM modeling. Without parameter fitting, this study presents a new systematic approach for pore-scale modeling of multi-phase flow. We have validated this ap- proach by simulating a two-phase separation process and gas-liquid-solid three-phase contact angle. Based on an actual X-ray CT image of a reservoir core, we applied our workflow to calculate the absolute permeability of the core, vapor-liquid H20 relative permeability, and capillary pressure curves.

文摘The stability of supersonic inlets faces challenges due to various changes in flight conditions,and flow control methods that address shock wave/boundary layer interactions under only one set of conditions cannot meet developmental requirements.This paper proposes an adaptive bump control scheme and employs dynamic mesh technology for numerical simulation to investigate the unsteady control effects of adaptive bumps.The obtained results indicate that the use of moving bumps to control shock wave/boundary layer interactions is feasible.The adaptive control effects of five different bump speeds are evaluated.Within the range of bump speeds studied,the analysis of the flow field structure reveals the patterns of change in the separation zone area during the control process,as well as the relationship between the bump motion speed and the control effect on the separation zone.It is concluded that the moving bump endows the boundary layer with additional energy.

文摘Large size titanium alloy parts are widely used in aerospace.However,they are difficult to manufacture using mechanical cutting technology because of severe tool wear.Electrochemical jet machining is a promising technology to achieve high efficiency,because it has high machining flexibility and no machining tool wear.However,reports on the macro electrochemical jet machining of large size titanium alloy parts are very scarce,because it is difficult to achieve effective constraint of the flow field in macro electrochemical jet machining.In addition,titanium alloy is very sensitive to fluctuation of the flow field,and a turbulent flow field would lead to serious stray corrosion.This paper reports a series of investigations of the electrochemical jet machining of titanium alloy parts.Based on the flow analysis and experiments,the machining flow field was effectively constrained.TB6 titanium alloy part with a perimeter of one meter was machined.The machined surface was smooth with no obvious machining defects.The machining process was particularly stable with no obvious spark discharge.The research provides a reference for the application of electrochemical jet machining technology to achieve large allowance material removal in the machining of large titanium alloy parts.
文摘Multi-phase flowfield simulation has been performed on solid rocket motor and effect of multi-phases on the performance prediction of the solid rocket motor(SRM) is investigation.During the combustion of aluminized propellant,the aluminum particles in the propellant melt and formliquid aluminum at the burning propellant surface.So the flow within the rocket motor is multi phase or two phase because it contains droplets and smoke particles of Al2O3.Flowsi mulations have been performed on a large scale motor,to observe the effect of the flowfield onthe chamber and nozzle as well.Uniform particles diameters and Rosin-Rammler diameter distribution method that is based on the assumption that an exponential relationship exists betweenthe droplet diameter,dand mass fraction of droplets with diameter greater thandhave been used for the si mulation of different distribution of Al2O3 droplets present in SRM.Particles sizes in the range of 1-100μm are used,as being the most common droplets.In this approachthe complete range of particle sizes is dividedinto a set of discrete size ranges,eachto be defined by single streamthat is part of the group.Roe scheme-flux differencing splitting based on approxi mate Riemann problem has been used to si mulate the effects of the multi-phase flowfeild.This is second order upwind scheme in which flux differencing splitting method is employed.To cater for the turbulence effect,Spalart-All maras model has been used.The results obtained show the great sensitivity of this diameters distribution and particles concentrations to the SRMflowdynamics,primarily at the motor chamber and nozzle exit.The results are shown with various sizes of the particles concentrations and geometrical configurations including models for SRM and nozzle.The analysis also provides effect of multi-phase on performance prediction of solid rocket motor.

文摘Severe slugging flow is always challenging in oil ＆ gas production, especially for the current offshore based production. The slugging flow can cause a lot of problems, such as those relevant to production safety~ fatigue as well as capability. As one typical phenomenon in multi-phase flow dynamics, the slug can be avoided or eliminated by proper facility d^sign or control of operational conditions. Based on a testing facility which can emulate a pipeline-riser or a gas-lifted production well in a scaled-down manner, this paper experimentally studies the correlations of key operational parameters with severe Slugging flows. These correlations are reflected through an obtained stable surface in the parameter space, which is a natural extension of the bifurcation plot. The maximal production opportunity without compromising the stability is also studied. Relevant studies have already showed that the capability, performance and efficiency of anti-slug control can be dramatically improved if these stable surfaces can be experimentally determined beforehand. The paper concludes that obtaining the stable surface on the new developed map can significantly improve the production rate in a control scheme. Even though the production rate can be further improved by moving the stable surface using advanced control strategies, the constant inputs can in some cases be preferable due to the easier implementation.
文摘Hydraulic slotting in a gas drainage borehole is an effective method of enhancing gas drainage perfor- mance. However, it frequently occurs that a large amount of slotting products （mainly the coal slurry and gas） intensely spurt out of the borehole during the slotting, which adversely affects the slotting efficiency. Despite extensive previous investigations on the mechanism and prevention-device design of the spurt during ordinary borehole drilling, a very few studies has focused on the spurt in the s Ottlng pro ] ＂ _ cess. The slotting spurt is mainly caused by two reasons： the coal and gas outburst in the borehole and the borehole deslagging blockage. This paper focuses on the second reason, and investigates the hydraulic deslagging flow patterns in the annular space between the drill pipe and borehole wall Results show that there are six deslagging flow patterns when the drill pipe is still： pure slurry flow, pure gas flow, bubble flow, intermittent flow, layering flow and annular flow. When the drill pipe rotates, each of those six flow patterns changes due to the Taylor vortex effect. Outcomes of this study could help to better understand the slotting-spurt mechanism and provide guidance on the anti-spurt strategies through eliminating the borehole deslagging blockage.

文摘A thermodynamically complete multi-phase equation of state(EOS)applicable to both dense and porous metals at wide ranges of temperature and pressure is constructed.A standard three-term decomposition of the Helmholtz free energy as a function of specific volume and temperature is presented,where the cold component models both compression and expansion states,the thermal ion component introduces the Debye approximation and melting entropy,and the thermal electron component employs the Thomas-Fermi-Kirzhnits(TFK)model.The porosity of materials is considered by introducing the dynamic porosity coefficientαand the constitutive P-αrelation,connecting the thermodynamic properties between dense and porous systems,allowing for an accurate description of the volume decrease caused by void collapse while maintaining the quasi-static thermodynamic properties of porous systems identical to the dense ones.These models enable the EOS applicable and robust at wide ranges of temperature,pressure and porosity.A systematic evaluation of the new EOS is conducted with aluminum(Al)as an example.300 K isotherm,shock Hugoniot,as well as melting curves of both dense and porous Al are calculated,which shows great agreements with experimental data and validates the effectiveness of the models and the accuracy of parameterizations.Notably,it is for the first time Hugoniot P-σcurves up to 10~6 GPa and shock melting behaviors of porous Al are derived from analytical EOS models,which predict much lower compression limit and shock melting temperatures than those of dense Al.
