The Taylor-expansion moment method(TEMOM)is employed to study dynamics of nanoparticles with Brownian motion,based on the flow field from numerical simulation.A fully developed flow pattern in the present simulation is compared with previous numerical results for validating the model and computational code.It is found that for the simulated particulate flow system,the particle mass concentration,number concentration,particle polydispersity, mean particle diameter and geometric standard deviation over cross-section increase with time.The distribution of particle mass concentration at different time is independent of the initial particle size.More particles are concen-trated at outer edge of the bend.Coagulation plays more important role at initial stage than that in the subsequent period.The increase of Reynolds number and initial particle size leads to the increase of particle number concentration.The particle polydispersity,mean particle diameter and geometric standard deviation increase with decreasing Reynolds number and initial particle size.展开更多

A two-dimensional Re-Normalisation Group （RNG） k-ε model was developed to simulate the flow in the reach. In order to take the circulation currents in the bends into account, the momentum equations were improved by adding an additional source term. Comparison of the numerical simulation with field measurements indicates that the improved two-dimensional depth-averaged RNG k-e model can improve the accuracy of the numerical simulation. A rapid adaptive algorithm was constructed, which can automatically adjust Manning＇s roughness coefficient in different parts of the study river reach. As a result, not only can the trial computation time be significantly shortened, but the accuracy of the numerical simulation can also be greatly improved. Comparison of the simulated and measured water surface slopes for four typical cases shows that the longitudinal and transverse slopes of the water surface increase with the average velocity upstream. In addition, comparison was made between the positions of the talweg and the main streamline, which coincide for most of the study river reach. However, deviations between the positions of the talweg and the main streamline were found at the junction of two bends, at the position where the river width suddenly decreases or increases.展开更多

The effects of bending parameters on the mechanical properties of weld metal for hot bends were investigated by simulation conducted on a Gleeble 3500 thermal simulator. Continuous cooling transformation （CCT） dia- grams of the weld metal were also constructed. The influences of hot bending parameters （such as reheating temperature, cooling rate, and tempering temperature） on the microstructure and mechanical properties of weld metal were also analyzed. Results show that the strength of all weld metal specimens is higher than the value indicated in the technical specification and increases with the increase of reheating temperature, cooling rate, and tempering tempera ture. The impact toughness is apparently related to the variation of reheating temperature, cooling rate, and tempering temperature.展开更多

In this model, the starting of sediment particles under low transport rate, the exposure degree of sediment, the lateral slope of water surface and the effect of transverse circulating current induced by the hydraulic structure of bend flow were fully considered.

Since...In meandering rivers, the flow pattern is highly complex, with specific characteristics at bends that are not observed along straight paths. A numerical model can be effectively used to predict such flow fields. Since river bends are not uniform-some are divergent and others convergent-in this study, after the SSIIM 3-D model was calibrated using the result of measurements along a uniform 180° bend with a width of 0.6 m, a similar but convergent 180v bend, 0.6 m to 0.45 m wide, was simulated using the SSI1M 3-D numerical model. Flow characteristics of the convergent 180° bend, including lengthwise and vertical velocity profiles, primary and secondary flows, lengthwise and widtbwise slopes of the water surface, and the helical flow strength, were compared with those of the uniform 180° bend. The verification results of the model show that the numerical model can effectively simulate the flow field in the uniform bend. In addition, this research indicates that, in a convergent channel, the maximum velocity path at a plane near the water surface crosses the channel＇s centerline at about a 30° to 40° cross-section, while in the uniform bend, this occurs at about the 50° cross-section. The varying range of the water surface elevation is wider in the convergent channel than in the uniform one, and the strength of the helical flow is generally greater in the uniform channel than in the convergent one. Also, unlike the uniform bend, the convergent bend exhibits no rotational cell against the main direction of secondary flow rotation at the 135° cross-section.展开更多

The perturbation method is used in solving the equations. The results show that the particle transport patterns are similar and independent of the particle size and other parameters when suspended nanoparticles flow in a straight tube. At the outside edge, particle deposition is the most intensive, while deposition at the inside edge is the weakest. In the upper and lower parts of the tube, depositions are approximately the same for different Schmidt numbers. Curvatures of tube, Reynolds number, and Schmidt number have second-order, forth-order, and first-order effects on the relative deposition efficiency, respectively.展开更多

文摘A model for incipient movement of sediment in rolling pattern was established. In this model, the starting of sediment particles under low transport rate, the exposure degree of sediment, the lateral slope of water surface and the effect of transverse circulating current induced by the hydraulic structure of bend flow were fully considered. A theoretical formula for the incipient velocity of non-cohesive and non-uniform sediment in sloping river bends was developed. The results from the theoretical formula compared well with the experimental data.
文摘In meandering rivers, the flow pattern is highly complex, with specific characteristics at bends that are not observed along straight paths. A numerical model can be effectively used to predict such flow fields. Since river bends are not uniform-some are divergent and others convergent-in this study, after the SSIIM 3-D model was calibrated using the result of measurements along a uniform 180° bend with a width of 0.6 m, a similar but convergent 180v bend, 0.6 m to 0.45 m wide, was simulated using the SSI1M 3-D numerical model. Flow characteristics of the convergent 180° bend, including lengthwise and vertical velocity profiles, primary and secondary flows, lengthwise and widtbwise slopes of the water surface, and the helical flow strength, were compared with those of the uniform 180° bend. The verification results of the model show that the numerical model can effectively simulate the flow field in the uniform bend. In addition, this research indicates that, in a convergent channel, the maximum velocity path at a plane near the water surface crosses the channel＇s centerline at about a 30° to 40° cross-section, while in the uniform bend, this occurs at about the 50° cross-section. The varying range of the water surface elevation is wider in the convergent channel than in the uniform one, and the strength of the helical flow is generally greater in the uniform channel than in the convergent one. Also, unlike the uniform bend, the convergent bend exhibits no rotational cell against the main direction of secondary flow rotation at the 135° cross-section.

文摘Nanoparticle transport and deposition in bends with circular cross-section are solved for different Reynolds numbers and Schmidt numbers. The perturbation method is used in solving the equations. The results show that the particle transport patterns are similar and independent of the particle size and other parameters when suspended nanoparticles flow in a straight tube. At the outside edge, particle deposition is the most intensive, while deposition at the inside edge is the weakest. In the upper and lower parts of the tube, depositions are approximately the same for different Schmidt numbers. Curvatures of tube, Reynolds number, and Schmidt number have second-order, forth-order, and first-order effects on the relative deposition efficiency, respectively.

文摘While a small-radius induction bend is manufactured,various cross-section distortions may occur,such as its cross section tending to be elliptic,and wall thickness reduction or increase.These defects may deteriorate the bearing capacity of pipelines.In order to study the effect of cross-section distortion on the performance of small-radius induction bends,3D(D refers to pipe diameter)induction bends were manufactured based on different combinations of process parameters.Then,the cross-section distortion,structure properties and their correlation of 3D bends and conventional 5D bends were analyzed comprehensively by means of cross-section geometry analysis,distortion analysis,physical and chemical property test,micro-structural analysis and so on.The following results were obtained.First,the wall thickening/thinning rate of 3D bends is about 2 times that of 5D bends,and the roundness of 3D bends is about 2e4 times that of 5D bends.Second,the cross-section distortion of 3D bends is obvious,so its heating temperature varies greatly in different parts,leading to different structure morphologies and contents.As a result,the numerical distribution of mechanical properties of each part of 3D bends(e.g.intrados,extrados and neutral zone)is discrete.Third,the strength at the intrados of most bends doesn't meet the standard,and it is sorted form the higher to the lower as extrados,neutral zone and intrados while the sequence of Charpy impact toughness is right contrary to the strength.Fourth,the strength at intrados and extrados decreases with the increase of roundness.The strength at intrados decreases with the increase of thickening rates.And the strength at extrados increases with the increase of thinning rates.

文摘This study investigates the flexural performance of ultra-high performance concrete(UHPC)in reinforced concrete T-beams,focusing on the effects of interfacial treatments.Three concrete T-beam specimens were fabricated and tested:a control beam(RC-T),a UHPC-reinforced beam with a chiseled interface(UN-C-50F),and a UHPC-reinforced beam featuring both a chiseled interface and anchored steel rebars(UN-CS-50F).The test results indicated that both chiseling and the incorporation of anchored rebars effectively created a synergistic combination between the concrete T-beam and the UHPC reinforcement layer,with the UN-CS-50F exhibiting the highest flexural resistance.The cracking load and ultimate load of UN-CS-50F were 221.5%and 40.8%,respectively,higher than those of the RC-T.Finite element(FE)models were developed to provide further insights into the behavior of the UHPCreinforced T-beams,showing a maximumdeviation of just 8%when validated against experimental data.A parametric analysis varied the height,thickness,andmaterial strength of the UHPC reinforcement layer based on the validated FE model,revealing that increasing the UHPC layer thickness from 30 to 50 mm improved the ultimate resistance by 20%while reducing the UHPC reinforcement height from 440 to 300 mm led to a 10%decrease in bending resistance.The interfacial anchoring rebars significantly reduced crack propagation and enhanced stress redistribution,highlighting the importance of strengthening interfacial bonds and optimizing geometric parameters ofUHPCfor improved T-beam performance.These findings offer valuable insights for the design and retrofitting of UHPC-reinforced bridge girders.

文摘Flexoelectricity refers to the link between electrical polarization and strain gradient fields in piezoelectric materials,particularly at the nano-scale.The present investigation aims to comprehensively focus on the static bending analysis of a piezoelectric sandwich functionally graded porous(FGP)double-curved shallow nanoshell based on the flexoelectric effect and nonlocal strain gradient theory.Two coefficients that reduce or increase the stiffness of the nanoshell,including nonlocal and length-scale parameters,are considered to change along the nanoshell thickness direction,and three different porosity rules are novel points in this study.The nanoshell structure is placed on a Pasternak elastic foundation and is made up of three separate layers of material.The outermost layers consist of piezoelectric smart material with flexoelectric effects,while the core layer is composed of FGP material.Hamilton’s principle was used in conjunction with a unique refined higher-order shear deformation theory to derive general equilibrium equations that provide more precise outcomes.The Navier and Galerkin-Vlasov methodology is used to get the static bending characteristics of nanoshells that have various boundary conditions.The program’s correctness is assessed by comparison with published dependable findings in specific instances of the model described in the article.In addition,the influence of parameters such as flexoelectric effect,nonlocal and length scale parameters,elastic foundation stiffness coefficient,porosity coefficient,and boundary conditions on the static bending response of the nanoshell is detected and comprehensively studied.The findings of this study have practical implications for the efficient design and control of comparable systems,such as micro-electromechanical and nano-electromechanical devices.

文摘This study aimed to investigate the moment redistribution in continuous glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP)-concrete composite slabs caused by concrete cracking and steel bar yielding in the negative bending moment zone.An experimental bending moment redistribution test was conducted on continuous GFRP-concrete composite slabs,and a calculation method based on the conjugate beam method was proposed.The composite slabs were formed by combining GFRP profiles with a concrete layer and supported on steel beams to create two-span continuous composite slab specimens.Two methods,epoxy resin bonding,and stud connection,were used to connect the composite slabs with the steel beams.The experimental findings showed that the specimen connected with epoxy resin exhibited two moments redistribution phenomena during the loading process:concrete cracking and steel bar yielding at the internal support.In contrast,the composite slab connected with steel beams by studs exhibited only one-moment redistribution phenomenon throughout the loading process.As the concrete at the internal support cracked,the bending moment decreased in the internal support section and increased in the midspan section.When the steel bars yielded,the bending moment further decreased in the internal support section and increased in the mid-span section.Since GFRP profiles do not experience cracking,there was no significant decrease in the bending moment of the mid-span section.All test specimens experienced compressive failure of concrete at the mid-span section.Calculation results showed good agreement between the calculated and experimental values of bending moments in the mid-span section and internal support section.The proposed model can effectively predict the moment redistribution behavior of continuous GFRP-concrete composite slabs.
