Compared with previous approaches, the main advantage of the present approach is allowing an analytic solution without involving any semi-empirical parameter for the whole non-equilibrium flow regimes. The effects of some important physical quantities therefore can be fully revealed via the analytic solution. By combining the current solution with Ideal Dissociating Gas（IDG） model, we investigate the effects of free stream kinetic energy and free stream dissociation level（which can be very different between different facilities） on the shock stand-off distance.展开更多

To extend the non-equilibrium describing the ability of macroscopic equations, Nonlinear Coupled Constitutive Relation(NCCR) model was developed from Eu’s generalized hydrodynamic equations to substitute linear Newton’s law of viscosity and Fourier’s law of heat conduction in conservation laws. In the NCCR model, how to solve the decomposed constitutive equations with reasonable computational cost is a key ingredient of this scheme. In this paper, an analytic method is proposed firstly. Compared to the iterative procedure in the conventional NCCR model, the analytic method not only obtains exact roots of the decomposed constitutive polynomials, but also preserves the nonlinear constitutive relations in the original framework of NCCR methods. Numerical tests to assess the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are conducted for argon shock structures, Couette flows, two-dimensional hypersonic flows over a cylinder and threedimensional supersonic flows over a three-dimensional sphere. These superior advantages of the current method are expected to render itself a powerful tool for simulating the hypersonic rarefied flows and microscale flows of high Knudsen number for engineering applications.展开更多

In this review, we focus on threepivotal effects that significantly influence the dynamics and transport properties of buoyancy-driven flows and may have impli-cations for natural systems. These effects pertain to the role of boundary conditions, the impact of rotation, and the effect offinite size. Boundary conditions represent how the fluid flow interacts with different kinds of surfaces. Rotation, as the Earth’srotation in geophysical systems or the whirling of astrophysical systems, introduces Coriolis and centrifugal forces, leading tothe profound vortical structure and distinct transport property. Finite size, representing geometrical constraints, influences thebehavior of buoyancy-driven flows across varying geometrical settings. This review aims to provide a holistic understanding ofthe intricate interplay of these factors, offering insights into the complex natural phenomena from the perspectives of the threeeffects.展开更多

文摘During the re-entry of a hypersonic aircraft into the earth’s atmosphere,the surrounding air experiences dissociation,ionization,and other complex chemical phenomena due to extreme temperature by shock wave.To ensure thermal safety,the thermochemical non-equilibrium effects resulting from real-gas behavior should be taken into account.In this paper,the characteristics of a double-cone hypersonic laminar flow,including distributions of wall pressure,heat flux,and species dissociation are numerically analyzed with incoming enthalpy of 9.65-21.77 MJ/kg.The thermochemical non-equilibrium flow at different enthalpy and wall temperatures is performed with two-temperature model and Park’s seven chemical reaction model.It is found that the doublecone flow features complex shock-shock interactions to form triple points.The flow topology is further brought out from the analysis of streamlines.At the lowest incoming enthalpy with isothermal wall conditions,two foci points appear.While others highlight only one focal point.As the increment of incoming enthalpy,the heat flux and dissociation of nitrogen and oxygen also increase.An increasing wall temperature leads to a larger separation bubble and a lower value of heat flux and pressure peak,while massive dissociation occurs without obvious ionization under considered cases.

文摘The formation,evolution,and dynamics of flow structures in wall-bounded turbulence have long been central themes in fluid-mechanics research.Over the past three decades,Soliton-like Coherent Structures(SCSs)have emerged as a ubiquitous and unifying feature across a wide range of shear flows,including K-type,O-type,N-type,and bypass transitional boundary layers,as well as fully developed turbulent boundary layers,mixing layers,and pipe flows.This paper presents a systematic review of the fundamental properties of SCSs and highlights their fundamental role in multiple transition scenarios.The analysis further explores the connection between SCSs and low-speed streaks,offering insight into their coupled dynamics.The phenomenon of turbulent bursting is also examined within the context of SCS dynamics.Together,these studies underscore the potential of SCSs to serve as a coherent dynamical framework for understanding turbulence generation mechanisms in wall-bounded flows.Finally,the review extends to the manifestation of SCSs in other canonical flows,including mixing layers,stratified shear flows,and jets,confirming their universality and significance in fluid dynamics.These findings not only advance our understanding of turbulence generation but also offer a promising theoretical foundation for future research in transitional and turbulent flows.

文摘This study investigates the air–water interaction dynamics in jet streams,with particular emphasis on the transition from the cavity to the far-field regions.A dual-tip conductivity phase-detection probe was employed to analyze four distinct downstream water levels.Based on the development of the cross-sectional mean air concentration,the jet flow was divided into four distinct regions:the jet length region,impact region,splash region,and far-field region.The results demonstrate varying trends in the evolution of the mean air concentration and maximum bubble frequency.Downstream water levels exerted a significant influence on these parameters in the splash and far-field regions,whereas minimal variation was observed in the impact region.Additionally,notable differences were identified in the probability density function of water droplets between the cavity and downstream regions.Furthermore,downstream water depth was found to have a negligible effect on the proportion of small-sized droplets in both the impact and splash regions.
文摘The variable salinity in stored reservoirs connected by a long channel attracts the attention of scientists worldwide,having applications in environmental and geophysical engineering.This study explores the impact of Navier slip conditions on exchange flows within a long channel connecting two large reservoirs of differing salinity.These horizontal density gradients drive the flow.We modify the recent one-dimensional theory,developed to avoid runaway stratification,to account for the presence of uniform slip walls.By adjusting the parameters of the horizontal density gradient based on the slip factor,we resolve analytically various flow regimes ranging from high diffusion to transitional high advection.These regimes are governed by physical parameters like channel aspect ratio,slip factor,Schmidt number,and gravitational Reynolds number.Our solutions align perfectly with ones in the no-slip limit.More importantly,under the conditions of no net flow across the channel and high Schmidt number(where stratification is concentrated near the channel’s mid-layer),we derive a closed-form solution for the slip parameter,aspect ratio,and gravitational Reynolds number that describes the interface’s behavior as a sharp interface separating two distinct zones.This interface,arising from hydrostatic wall gradients,ultimately detaches the low-and high-density regimes throughout the channel when the gravitational Reynolds number is inversely proportional to the aspect ratio for a fixed slip parameter.This phenomenon,observed previously in 2D numerical simulations with no-slip walls in the literature,is thus confirmed by our theoretical results.Our findings further demonstrate that wall slip leads to distinct and diverse flow regimes.

文摘The increasing performance demands of modern aero engines necessitate the integrated design of compressor transition ducts with upstream components to reduce the axial length of the engine.However,this design approach narrows the spacing between the stator and the strut,making traditional research on transition ducts only with struts unsuitable.The numerical results and experimental oil flow visualization results were utilized to reconstruct the three-dimensional flow structures in the stator passages under various operating conditions.Additionally,numerical methods were employed to analyze the mechanisms of the strut's effect on the upstream stator in an aggressive transition duct.The results show that the strut potential field increases the load on the upstream stator,leading to severe blade surface separation and corner separation/stall,and redistributes the inflow angle of the upstream stators circumferentially,resulting in significant differences in the flow structures within the stator passages on both sides.The separation flows within the stator passages mainly manifest in five types:pressure surface separation vortex,suction surface concentrated shedding vortex,suction surface separation vortex,suction surface-corner stall separation vortex,and suction surface separation vortex pair.Under different operating conditions,the separation flows within the stator passages are always composed of a part of these five types or a transitional state between two of them.

文摘Buoyancy-driven flows are prevalent in a wide range of geophysical and astrophysical systems. In this review, we focus on threepivotal effects that significantly influence the dynamics and transport properties of buoyancy-driven flows and may have impli-cations for natural systems. These effects pertain to the role of boundary conditions, the impact of rotation, and the effect offinite size. Boundary conditions represent how the fluid flow interacts with different kinds of surfaces. Rotation, as the Earth’srotation in geophysical systems or the whirling of astrophysical systems, introduces Coriolis and centrifugal forces, leading tothe profound vortical structure and distinct transport property. Finite size, representing geometrical constraints, influences thebehavior of buoyancy-driven flows across varying geometrical settings. This review aims to provide a holistic understanding ofthe intricate interplay of these factors, offering insights into the complex natural phenomena from the perspectives of the threeeffects.

文摘Bridge pier failures from granular flow impacts are common.Installing defense piles upstream is an effective mitigation strategy,yet their protective mechanisms and standardized design guidelines are unclear.This study employed 3D discrete element method to analyze the influence of defense pile size and placement on its performance across 219 scenarios,providing a detailed examination of their protective mechanisms.Results show that optimizing these factors can reduce the maximum impact force on bridge piers by up to 94%.In terms of size,a critical height threshold is identified,beyond which increasing pile height does not enhance protection.This threshold depends on the movement height of granular particles at the slope base.Protection effectiveness varies with pile size:when H≤0.05 h(H is the height of defense piles,h is the height of bridge),protection marginally improves with increasing height and diameter;for 0.05 h<H<0.15 h,protection strongly correlates with both parameters;for H≥0.15 h,diameter becomes the dominant factor.In terms of placement,an optimal longitudinal distance exists between the defense pile and the bridge pier.The larger the diameter,the greater the optimal longitudinal distance.However,the transverse distance is inversely related to protection effectiveness.Mechanistic analysis shows that defense piles are more effective at redirecting particles to prevent direct collisions with the pier(contributing 100%impact energy reduction before the non-dimensional travel time t*=7.01 and 63%–100%afterward)than at reducing particle velocity.This study provides insights into the protective mechanisms of defense piles and informs strategies for optimizing bridge pier protection in granular flow-prone regions.

文摘The impacts of natural boulders carried by debris flows pose serious risks to the safety and reliability of structures and buildings.Natural boulders can be highly random and unpredictable.Consequently,boulder control during debris flows is crucial but difficult.Herein,an eco-friendly control system featuring anchoring natural boulders(NBs)with(negative Poisson's ratio)NPR anchor cables is proposed to form an NB-NPR baffle.A series of flume experiments are conducted to verify the effect of NB-NPR baffles on controlling debris flow impact.The deployment of NB-NPR baffles substantially influences the kinematic behavior of a debris flow,primarily in the form of changes in the depositional properties and impact intensities.The results show that the NB-NPR baffle matrix successfully controls boulder mobility and exhibits positive feedback on solid particle deposition.The NB-NPR baffle group exhibits a reduction in peak impact force ranging from 29%to 79%compared to that of the control group in the basic experiment.The NPR anchor cables play a significant role in the NB-NPR baffle by demonstrating particular characteristics,including consistent resistance,large deformation,and substantial energy absorption.The NB-NPR baffle innovatively utilizes the natural boulders in a debris flow gully by converting destructive boulders into constructive boulders.Overall,this research serves as a basis for future field experiments and applications.

文摘This study examines the causal relationship between financial technology startup venture capital(VC)financing and its deals with domestic credit provided by the banking sector and equity market movement.Despite the rise of alternative finance,such as fintech venture capital(it is the fund that venture capital firms put into young,promising fintech companies so that they can help them expand and scale quickly),which is yet underexplored,borrowers still heavily rely on banks and the stock market for financing.We use panel data from 57 countries from 2010 to 2020 and an advanced econometric method called the cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag model(CS-ARDL)to determine how the size and number of fintech equity funds dealt with by venture capital firms,banking sector credit,and stock market returns are interrelated at the global level and across regional,income,and economic levels.Our results reveal a cointegrating relationship between fintech venture capital funding and deals with bank loans and equity market returns.However,this relationship varies across the regions studied and between developed and developing economies.Our findings provide crucial guidelines for policymakers to create policies that support balanced financial development by highlighting the global interaction of equity market movements,banking credit,and fintech venture capital investment and lay the groundwork for internationally aligned policies to guarantee the optimal distribution of financial capital and improve economic stability and adaptability by illustrating how these links differ across geographical locations and economic conditions.
