Two arc functions are employed for controlling the internal and external angles. The separation process in the cyclone tube is calculated by using two-fluid model based on the Eulerian-Eulerian method.The results show that the structure with the internal outlet angle smaller than the external one is more beneficial to the separation performance. It is found that the small internal angle can help increase the swirl number,while the small external angle can help increase the friction coefficient. Several groups of numerical simulations are conducted for the air intake unit of the gas turbine in practice. When the internal outlet angle is 35° and the external outlet angle is 40°,the blade has sufficient cyclone strength and the separation rate of particles with diameters of 10—100 μm is between70%—98%. The small blade angle is more conducive to the separation of fine particles,leading to violent collision of large particles on the outer wall and reduction of separation efficiency. In addition,reducing the external angle is conducive to the discharge of large particles.展开更多

Ho...The utilization of Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) plays a key factor in affecting the instability evolution. Existing literature mainly focuses on the effect of IGV on instability inception that occurs in the rotor region. However, with the emergence of compressor instability starting from the stator region, the mechanism of various instability inceptions that occurs in different blade rows due to the change of IGV angles should be further examined. In this study, experiments were focused on three types of instability inceptions observed previously in a 1.5-stage axial flow compressor. To analyze the conversion of stall evolutions, the compressor rotating speed was set to 17 160 r/min, at which both the blade loading in the stator hub region and rotor tip region were close to the critical value before final compressor stall. Meanwhile, the dynamic test points with high-response were placed to monitor the pressures both at the stator trailing edges and rotor tips. The results indicate that the variation of reaction determines the region where initial instability occurs. Indeed, negative pre-rotation of the inlet guide vane leads to high-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the rotor region. Positive pre-rotation results in low-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the stator region. Furthermore, the type of instability evolution is affected by the radial loading distribution under different IGV angles. Specifically, a spike-type inception occurs at the rotor blade tip with a large angle of attack at the rotor inlet (−2°, −4° and −6°). Meanwhile, the critical total pressure ratio at the rotor tip is 1.40 near stall. As the angle of attack decreases, the stator blade loading reaches its critical boundary, with a value of approximately 1.35. At this moment, if the rotor tip maintains high blade loading similar to the stator hub, the partial surge occurs (0° and +2°);otherwise, the hub instability occurs (+4° and +6°).展开更多

文摘Spiral pile foundations,as a promising type of foundation,are of significant importance for the development of offshore wind energy,particularly as it moves toward deeper waters.This study conducted a physical experiment on a three-spiral-pile jacket foundation under deep-buried sandy soil conditions.During the experiment,horizontal displacement was applied to the structure to thoroughly investigate the bearing characteristics of the three-spiral-pile jacket foundation.This study also focused on analyzing the bearing mechanisms of conventional piles compared with spiral piles with different numbers of blades.Three different working conditions were set up and compared,and key data,such as the horizontal bearing capacity,pile shaft axial force,and spiral blade soil pressure,were measured and analyzed.The results show the distinct impacts of the spiral blades on the compressed and tensioned sides of the foundation.Specifically,on the compressed side,the spiral blades effectively enhance the restraint of the soil on the pile foundation,whereas on the tensioned side,an excessive number of spiral blades can negatively affect the structural tensile performance to some extent.This study also emphasizes that the addition of blades to the side of a single pile is the most effective method for increasing the bearing capacity of the foundation.This research aims to provide design insights into improving the bearing capacity of the foundation.

文摘Ocean energy has progressively gained considerable interest due to its sufficient potential to meet the world’s energy demand,and the blade is the core component in electricity generation from the ocean current.However,the widened hydraulic excitation frequency may satisfy the blade resonance due to the time variation in the velocity and angle of attack of the ocean current,even resulting in blade fatigue and destructively interfering with grid stability.A key parameter that determines the resonance amplitude of the blade is the hydrodynamic damping ratio(HDR).However,HDR is difficult to obtain due to the complex fluid-structure interaction(FSI).Therefore,a literature review was conducted on the hydrodynamic damping characteristics of blade-like structures.The experimental and simulation methods used to identify and obtain the HDR quantitatively were described,placing emphasis on the experimental processes and simulation setups.Moreover,the accuracy and efficiency of different simulation methods were compared,and the modal work approach was recommended.The effects of key typical parameters,including flow velocity,angle of attack,gap,rotational speed,and cavitation,on the HDR were then summarized,and the suggestions on operating conditions were presented from the perspective of increasing the HDR.Subsequently,considering multiple flow parameters,several theoretical derivations and semi-empirical prediction formulas for HDR were introduced,and the accuracy and application were discussed.Based on the shortcomings of the existing research,the direction of future research was finally determined.The current work offers a clear understanding of the HDR of blade-like structures,which could improve the evaluation accuracy of flow-induced vibration in the design stage.

文摘Accurate measurement of helicopter rotor motion parameters(flap,lead-lag,torsion,and azimuth angles)is essential for rotor blade design,helicopter dynamics modeling,and flight safety and health monitoring.However,the existing methods face challenges in testing equipment installation,calibration,and data transmission,resulting in limited reports on real-time in-flight measurements of blade motion parameters.This paper proposes a non-contact optoelectronic method based on two-dimensional position-sensitive detectors for in-flight measurement and a ground calibration system to obtain real-time rotor motion parameters during helicopter flight.The proposed method establishes the time evolution relationship of rotor motion parameters and verifies the performance of the in-flight measurement system regarding measurement resolution and accuracy through the construction of a blade motion posture experimental platform.The proposed method has been applied to the flight measurement of a medium-sized single-rotor helicopter,and the obtained results have been compared with theoretical analysis outcomes.Furthermore,this paper examines the characteristics of blade motion parameters during flight and discusses the challenges and potential solutions for measuring rotor motion parameters during helicopter flight using the proposed method.
文摘In the printing industry,vacuum pumps play a critical role in sheet feeding and gripping processes.In order to improve the efficiency of vacuum pumps,By analyzing the internal flow field of the vane type vacuum pump,the CFD method was used to simulate the internal flow field of the air pump,and it was found that a main vortex was formed near the rotor of the trailing blade.Based on this observation,a new rotor shape design was proposed in this study,which design places arc-shaped depressed on the circumference of the rotor where the main vortex forms.The existence of the depression facilitated forward motion of the main airflow and thus effectively restricting reverse flow.Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed design is able to decrease pressure-induced torque load on the pump,and the reduction increases for an increasing operating speed.For all three operating speeds tested,the reduction in pressure-induced torque ranges from 5%to up to 10%comparing to the original pump.

文摘Anti-aliasing spectrum analysis is essential for rotor blade condition monitoring based on Blade Tip Timing(BTT).The Multiple Signal Classification(MUSIC)algorithm,which exploits the orthogonality between signal and noise subspaces,has been successfully applied for this purpose.However,conventional subspace selection methods relying on fixed thresholds are sensitive to variations in large eigenvalues.Furthermore,the complex disturbances during rotor operation and measurement complicate the identification of blade vibration characteristics.To overcome these challenges,this paper proposes Adaptive Subspace Separation(ASS)and Local Spectral Centroid(LSC)methods to improve the adaptability of subspace selection and the stability of frequency identification,respectively.The impacts of overestimating and underestimating the subspace dimensions on MUSIC's performance are derived mathematically.Simulation and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed approaches:ASS offers more accurate and stable subspace dimension selection and tracking,while LSC reduces the standard deviation of estimated frequencies by 30 percent.

文摘As a key component of the plant antioxidant enzymatic system,superoxide dismutase(SOD)can efficiently protect cells from oxidative stress and maintain redox homeostasis.Currently,there are few studies related to SOD genes in various taxa of algae,and the specific functions and evolutionary patterns of these family members remain unclear.In this study,comprehensively evolutionary analysis of SOD gene family in the bladed Bangiales was carried out.A total of 9,10,and 12 SOD genes were identified from three species of Pophyra umbilicalis,Pyropia haitanensis,and Pyropia yezoensis,respectively.Based on phylogenetic analysis,SOD gene members within the same subfamily exhibited similar motif patterns as well as conserved domains,which could be attribute to Cu/Zn-SOD and Fe/Mn-SOD.The promoter regions of SOD genes were rich in hormone-responsive,stress-responsive,and growth cis-acting elements,with variations and similarities observed among different species of other red algae and subfamilies.According to subcellular location prediction,it is suggested that Cu/Zn-SOD was predominantly located in chloroplasts,while Fe/Mn-SOD was primarily located in mitochondria.Also,the two subfamilies differed significantly in the two-/three-dimensional protein structures.In terms of gene evolution,the strongest collinearity relationship was shown between Pyropia haitanensis and Pyropia yezoensis,with all the 1꞉1 orthologous gene pair being subjected to a purifying selection(Ka/Ks<1,Ka:non-synonymy rate;Ks:synonymy rate).Moreover,12 SOD genes underwent positive selection during the evolutionary process.Furthermore,gene expression analysis based on transcriptomic data from Pyropia haitanensis showed that the expression patterns of SOD genes varied under different stress conditions.Together,this study revealed the evolutionary pattern of SOD genes in three bladed Bangiales species,which will lay the foundation for subsequent studies on the function of SOD genes.

文摘The utilization of Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) plays a key factor in affecting the instability evolution. Existing literature mainly focuses on the effect of IGV on instability inception that occurs in the rotor region. However, with the emergence of compressor instability starting from the stator region, the mechanism of various instability inceptions that occurs in different blade rows due to the change of IGV angles should be further examined. In this study, experiments were focused on three types of instability inceptions observed previously in a 1.5-stage axial flow compressor. To analyze the conversion of stall evolutions, the compressor rotating speed was set to 17 160 r/min, at which both the blade loading in the stator hub region and rotor tip region were close to the critical value before final compressor stall. Meanwhile, the dynamic test points with high-response were placed to monitor the pressures both at the stator trailing edges and rotor tips. The results indicate that the variation of reaction determines the region where initial instability occurs. Indeed, negative pre-rotation of the inlet guide vane leads to high-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the rotor region. Positive pre-rotation results in low-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the stator region. Furthermore, the type of instability evolution is affected by the radial loading distribution under different IGV angles. Specifically, a spike-type inception occurs at the rotor blade tip with a large angle of attack at the rotor inlet (−2°, −4° and −6°). Meanwhile, the critical total pressure ratio at the rotor tip is 1.40 near stall. As the angle of attack decreases, the stator blade loading reaches its critical boundary, with a value of approximately 1.35. At this moment, if the rotor tip maintains high blade loading similar to the stator hub, the partial surge occurs (0° and +2°);otherwise, the hub instability occurs (+4° and +6°).
