The transient temperature field of asphalt pavement was simulated based on actual meteorological data of Nanjing. 24-hour rutting development under a transient temperature field was calculated in each month. The rutting depth accumulated under the static temperature field was also estimated and the relationship between constant temperature parameters was analyzed. Then the effective temperature for pavement rutting was determined based on the rutting equivalence principle. The results show that the monthly effective temperature is above 40 t in July and August, while in June and September it ranges from 30 to 40 Rutting development can be ignored when the monthly effective temperature is less than 30 t.

Firstly, a volumetric heat source defined by a double ellipsoid is adopted to simulate the thermal distributions of the arc welding process. And then, the local models extracted from the global model are computed with refined meshes. On these bases, the global distortions of the subject studied are ascertained by transferring the inner forces of computed local models to the global model. It indicates that the local-global method is feasible for simulating the large welded structures by comparing the computed results with the corresponding actual measured values. The work provides basis for optimizing the welding sequence and clamping conditions, and has theoretical values and engineering significance in the integral design, manufacturing technique selection of the bogie frame, as well as other kinds of large welded structures.展开更多

In this paper, the lattice Boltzmann method （LBM） was used to study the electrophysical property of rock saturated with fluid because of its advantages over conventional numerical approaches in handling complex pore geometry and boundary conditions. The digital core model was constructed through the accumulation of matrix grains based on their radius distribution obtained by the measurements of core samples. The flow of electrical current through the core model saturated with oil and water was simulated on the mesoscopic scale to reveal the non-Archie relationship between resistivity index and water saturation （I-Sw）. The results from LBM simulation and laboratory measurements demonstrated that the I-Sw relation in the range of low water saturation was generally not a straight line in the log-log coordinates as described by the Archie equation. We thus developed a new equation based on numerical simulation and physical experiments. This new equation was used to fit the data from laboratory core measurements and previously published data. Determination of fluid saturation and reservoir evaluation could be significantly improved by using the new equation.展开更多

However, most numeri...Numerical wave tanks are widely-acknowledged tools in studying waves and wave-structure interactions. They can generate waves under realistic scales and offers more information on the fluid field. However, most numerical wave tanks suffer from issues known as the numerical dissipation and numerical dispersion. The former causes wave energy to be slowly dissipated and the latter shifts wave frequencies during wave propagation. This paper proposes a simple method of depressing numerical dissipation effects on the basis of solving Euler equations using the finite difference method(FDM). The wave propagation solutions are solved analytically taking into account the influence of the damping terms. The main idea of the method is to append a source term to the momentum equation, whose strength is determined by how strong the numerical damping effect is. The method is verified by successfully depressing numerical effects during the simulation of regular linear waves, Stokes waves and irregular waves. By applying the method, wave energy is able to be close to its initial value after long distance of travel.展开更多

文摘After a long period of water flooding development,the oilfield has entered the middle and high water cut stage.The physical properties of reservoirs are changed by water erosion,which directly impacts reservoir development.Conventional numerical reservoir simulation methodologies typically employ static assumptions for model construction,presuming invariant reservoir geological parameters throughout the development process while neglecting the reservoir’s temporal evolution characteristics.Although such simplifications reduce computational complexity,they introduce substantial descriptive inaccuracies.Therefore,this paper proposes a meshless numerical simulation method for reservoirs that considers time-varying characteristics.This method avoids the meshing in traditional numerical simulation methods.From the fluid flow perspective,the reservoir’s computational domain is discretized into a series of connection units.An influence domain with a certain radius centered on the nodes is selected,and one-dimensional connection units are established between the nodes to achieve the characterization of the flow topology structure of the reservoir.In order to reflect the dynamic evolution of the reservoir’s physical properties during the water injection development process,the time-varying characteristics are incorporated into the formula of the seepage characteristic parameters in the meshless calculation.The change relationship of the permeability under different surface fluxes is considered to update the calculated connection conductivity in real time.By combining with the seepage control equation for solution,a time-varying meshless numerical simulation method is formed.The results show that compared with the numerical simulationmethod of the connection elementmethod(CEM)that only considers static parameters,this method has higher simulation accuracy and can better simulate the real migration and distribution of oil and water in the reservoir.Thismethod improves the accuracy of reservoir numerical simulation and the development effect of oilfields,providing a scientific basis for optimizing the water injection strategy,adjusting the production plan,and extending the effective production cycle of the oilfield.

文摘In order to predict the long-term rutting of asphalt pavement, the effective temperature for pavement rutting is calculated using the numerical simulation method. The transient temperature field of asphalt pavement was simulated based on actual meteorological data of Nanjing. 24-hour rutting development under a transient temperature field was calculated in each month. The rutting depth accumulated under the static temperature field was also estimated and the relationship between constant temperature parameters was analyzed. Then the effective temperature for pavement rutting was determined based on the rutting equivalence principle. The results show that the monthly effective temperature is above 40 t in July and August, while in June and September it ranges from 30 to 40 Rutting development can be ignored when the monthly effective temperature is less than 30 t. The yearly effective temperature for rutting in Nanjing is around 38. 5 t. The long-term rutting prediction model based on the effective temperature can reflect the influences of meteorological factors and traffic time distribution.

文摘In the context of deep rock engineering,the in-situ stress state is of major importance as it plays an important role in rock dynamic response behavior.Thus,stress initialization becomes crucial and is the first step for the dynamic response simulation of rock mass in a high in-situ stress field.In this paper,stress initialization methods,including their principles and operating procedures for reproducing steady in-situ stress state in LS-DYNA,are first introduced.Then the most popular four methods,i.e.,explicit dynamic relaxation(DR)method,implicit-explicit sequence method,Dynain file method and quasi-static method,are exemplified through a case analysis by using the RHT and plastic hardening rock material models to simulate rock blasting under in-situ stress condition.Based on the simulations,it is concluded that the stress initialization results obtained by implicit-explicit sequence method and dynain file method are closely related to the rock material model,and the explicit DR method has an obvious advantage in solution time when compared to other methods.Besides that,it is recommended to adopt two separate analyses for the whole numerical simulation of rock mass under the combined action of in-situ stress and dynamic disturbance.
文摘Considering the limitation of computational capacity, a new finite element solution is used to simulate the welding deformation of the side sill of railroad car＇ s bogie frame based on the local-global method. Firstly, a volumetric heat source defined by a double ellipsoid is adopted to simulate the thermal distributions of the arc welding process. And then, the local models extracted from the global model are computed with refined meshes. On these bases, the global distortions of the subject studied are ascertained by transferring the inner forces of computed local models to the global model. It indicates that the local-global method is feasible for simulating the large welded structures by comparing the computed results with the corresponding actual measured values. The work provides basis for optimizing the welding sequence and clamping conditions, and has theoretical values and engineering significance in the integral design, manufacturing technique selection of the bogie frame, as well as other kinds of large welded structures.
文摘The mechanism of stress generation and propagation by detonation loading in five separate independent advance of ore breaking patterns is discussed in the paper. An elastic numerical model was developed using AN- SYS/LS-DYNA 3D Nonlinear Dynamic Finite Element Software. In this package ANSYS is the preprocessor and LS-DYNA is the postprocessor. Numerical models in the paper to actual were l：10 and the element mesh was dissected in scanning mode utilizing the symmetry characteristics of the numerical model. Five different advance rates were studied. Parameters, such as the time required to maximum stress, the action time of the available stress, the maximum velocity of the nodes, the stress penetration time, the magnitude of the stress peak and the time duration for high stress were numerically simulated. The 2.2 m advance appeared optimum from an analysis of the simulation results. The results from numerical simulation have been validated by tests with physical models.

Approaches to develop the stable formulas which are of 2M-order accuracy in both time and space with Mbeing a positive integer for regular grids are discussed and illustrated by constructing the second order （M= 1） and the fourth order （M = 2） recursion formulas.
文摘Non-pillar continuous mining(NPCM) is regarded as a high-efficient, high-level and one-step mining technology, which can be divided into two substopes. Back fill stability status in substope I, which directly influence the loss rate and dilution rate, etc, will determine whether the experimental research is successful or not. By employing energy method of limit analysis and finite element numerical simulation method, the critical backfill height was determined under the prerequisite condition of its stability, which put forward theoretical basis for reasonable and correct selection of backfill’s parameters. The result showed that the first backfill could not keep stable for NPCM, while the other was able to.

文摘The electrophysical property of saturated rocks is very important for reservoir identification and evaluation. In this paper, the lattice Boltzmann method （LBM） was used to study the electrophysical property of rock saturated with fluid because of its advantages over conventional numerical approaches in handling complex pore geometry and boundary conditions. The digital core model was constructed through the accumulation of matrix grains based on their radius distribution obtained by the measurements of core samples. The flow of electrical current through the core model saturated with oil and water was simulated on the mesoscopic scale to reveal the non-Archie relationship between resistivity index and water saturation （I-Sw）. The results from LBM simulation and laboratory measurements demonstrated that the I-Sw relation in the range of low water saturation was generally not a straight line in the log-log coordinates as described by the Archie equation. We thus developed a new equation based on numerical simulation and physical experiments. This new equation was used to fit the data from laboratory core measurements and previously published data. Determination of fluid saturation and reservoir evaluation could be significantly improved by using the new equation.

文摘Numerical wave tanks are widely-acknowledged tools in studying waves and wave-structure interactions. They can generate waves under realistic scales and offers more information on the fluid field. However, most numerical wave tanks suffer from issues known as the numerical dissipation and numerical dispersion. The former causes wave energy to be slowly dissipated and the latter shifts wave frequencies during wave propagation. This paper proposes a simple method of depressing numerical dissipation effects on the basis of solving Euler equations using the finite difference method(FDM). The wave propagation solutions are solved analytically taking into account the influence of the damping terms. The main idea of the method is to append a source term to the momentum equation, whose strength is determined by how strong the numerical damping effect is. The method is verified by successfully depressing numerical effects during the simulation of regular linear waves, Stokes waves and irregular waves. By applying the method, wave energy is able to be close to its initial value after long distance of travel.
