Some methods for controlling the secondary flows are investigated including the blade leaning, blade cambering, endwall convergence and leading edge extension at two ends of the blade.展开更多

In this study, the flow fields of T-junction and Y-junction were analyzed using shear stress transport （SST） model in ANSYS/CFX software. The simulation results identified the variation rule of velocity peak in T-junction with different frequencies and phase-differences, meanwhile, the eddy and velocity shock existed in the corner of the T-junction, and the limit working state was obtained. Although the eddy disappeared in Y-junction, the velocity shock and pressure loss were still too big. To address these faults, an arc-junction was designed. Based on the flow fields of arc-junction, the eddy in the junction corner disappeared and the maximum of velocity peak declined compared to T-and Y-junction. Additionally, 8 series of arc-junction with different radiuses were tested to get the variation rule of velocity peak. Through the computation of the pressure loss of three junctions, the arc-junction had a lowest loss value, and its pressure loss reached the minimum value when the curvature radius is 35.42 mm, meanwhile, the velocity shock has decreased in a low phase.展开更多

But its value is often overestimated to some extent,resulting in error of prediction accuracy. This paper introduces a new method to determine the flow loss by means of computational fluid dynamic (CFD). Firstly,the fluid field around waterjet system is simulated by solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations using commercial CFD code Fluent. Then an additional User-Defined Scalar (UDS) equation is embedded into Fluent to get the virtual dividing surface between the internal flow ingested into the inlet duct and the external flow beneath the hull,which is named as streamtube. By virtual of the streamtube the flow loss can be calculated according to the difference of total pressure between the duct outlet and the capture area ahead of the intake. The results from CFD calculation show that the flow loss coeflcient of a typical flush-type inlet duct is varying from 0.05 to 0.12 at different operation conditions,being obviously less than the value of 0.2-0.3 from empirical rules. With the results of this paper the prediction accuracy on propulsive performance of the waterjet system can be improved further.展开更多

This investigation focuses on the effects of contoured axisymmetric-casing on the blade tipleakage flow. While the size of tip clearance remains the same as the original design, the rotor casing and the blade tip are obtained with the same contoured arc shape. Numerical calculation results show that a promotion of 0.14% to the overall efficiency is achieved. Detailed analysis indicates that it reduces the entropy generation rate caused by the complex vortex structure in the rotor tip region, especially in the tip-leakage vortex. The low velocity region in the leading edge（LE） part of the tip gap is enlarged and the pressure side/tip junction separation bubble extends much further away from the leading edge in the clearance. So the blocking effect of pressure side/tip junction separation bubble on clearance flow prevents more flow on the tip pressure side from leaking to the suction side, which results in weaker leakage vortex and less associated losses.展开更多

Different scholars have different views on the formation of sand ripples. This paper holds that as the ripple in general is very small, its formation is due to the instability of the laminar flow or the evolution of the small-scale coherent structures in the sublayer adjacent to the wall of the open channel. When the shear stresses caused by the disturbing waves or the coherent structure near the bed surface boundary and the water flow itself are greater than the shields stresses, responses on the bed surface appear and the sand ripple forms. If the frequency of the shear stress caused by the disturbance is close to the natural frequency of the sand grains that produced resonance, such a phenomenon is called the 'detection property' of the sediment. It is at this point that the maximum resonance appears and the sand ripple develops rapidly.展开更多

Accordingly, some preliminary results have been obtained that pressure loss increases with porosity descent as nearly a hyperbolic trend, rising flow velocity of the input makes the pressure loss increasing with parabola trend, diameter of holes affects little about pressure loss of the muffler. Otherwise, the holes on the perforated pipes make the air flow gently and meanly, which decreases the air impact to the wall and pipes in the muffler. A practical perforated muffler is used to illustrate the available of this method for pressure loss computation, and the comparison shows that the computation results with the method of CFD has reference value for muffler design.展开更多

Utilizing chaos theory, a chaos grid preprocessing model （CGPM） is established to efficiently pick up the solution space and reduce the search range in the pre-processing, which simplifies the optimization search. A modified particle swarm optimization （PSO） algorithm is presented to seek for an approximate optimal trajectory in the solution space in the optimization search based on standard PSO algorithm and migration characters of people. The comparison of experiments and analysis results shows that the modified PSO algorithm is capable of preventing prematurity effectively and searching for the optimal trajectory more efficiently. Theoretical analysis proves that the modified PSO algorithm converges at global optimum. The examples show that the automatic pipe-routing algorithm based on flow loss is effective and practical for eleetromechanieal product.展开更多

Its surface morphology is different from the traditional casting airfoil components, which mainly comes from different weaving methods and different braided tow thickness. However, few people have studied the influence of surface morphology of ceramic matrix composites(CMCs) on the development of boundary layer and the resulting flow loss. In this paper, Tex Gen is used to generate different surface morphology structures of ceramic matrix composites(CMCs), and the surface flow characteristics of corresponding CMCs plates are numerically studied. It is found that the slope of the displacement thickness of the woven surface first increases and then decreases in the whole transition interval. Thicker braided tow thickness and denser braiding method will induce earlier flow transition phenomenon and produce greater flow loss;The flow loss on the surface of CMCs plate is mainly composed of the vortex loss in the pit and the boundary layer loss outside the pit, and the boundary layer loss is dominant. The weaving methods has a greater influence on the flow state and flow loss of the boundary layer.展开更多

The load between the main blade and the splitter blade can be soundly distributed in terms of the adjustment of circumferential position of the splitter blade. The best aerodynamic performance can be successfully obtained according to the optimum shape of the expanding fluid channel reasonably formed by the splitter blade and the main blade.展开更多

A mathematic model with consideration of the effects of turbulence, two-phase flow, and temperature on the pressure field at bearing surface is proposed here. Using this model, the Reynolds＇ equation and energy equation are solved in which the thermo- physical properties of the water as lubricant are taken into account. The dependency of characteristics of bearing, such as load-earrying capacity, flow rate （pumping losses ）, and frictional losses, on angular velocity, conical angle, and radial eccentricities, is presented.

The influences of different turning angle ratio(TR) and chord length ratio(CR) of two blades and the relative angle of attack of rear blade(Delta) are analyzed. The numerical results indicated that the tandem cascade can obtain overall performance improvement including higher static pressure ratio and lower total pressure loss with the matching parameters in the range of TR=3～5, CR=0.5～1.2, and Delta=-15°～-5°. The separation on the front blade has more prominent impact than that on the rear blade, so the performance improvement of tandem cascade is significantly dependent on the reduction of front-blade separation and loss. Regarding the rear blade, the gap injection effect can periodically control the separation. Temporal and spatial analysis of the flow field shows that the optimal-performance cases generally have much smaller wake loss for both two blades, but the unsteady characteristics of the wake loss is more apparent than that of the poor performance cases.展开更多

文摘The flow field in junction is complicated due to the ripple property of oil flow velocity and different frequencies of two pumps in aircraft. In this study, the flow fields of T-junction and Y-junction were analyzed using shear stress transport （SST） model in ANSYS/CFX software. The simulation results identified the variation rule of velocity peak in T-junction with different frequencies and phase-differences, meanwhile, the eddy and velocity shock existed in the corner of the T-junction, and the limit working state was obtained. Although the eddy disappeared in Y-junction, the velocity shock and pressure loss were still too big. To address these faults, an arc-junction was designed. Based on the flow fields of arc-junction, the eddy in the junction corner disappeared and the maximum of velocity peak declined compared to T-and Y-junction. Additionally, 8 series of arc-junction with different radiuses were tested to get the variation rule of velocity peak. Through the computation of the pressure loss of three junctions, the arc-junction had a lowest loss value, and its pressure loss reached the minimum value when the curvature radius is 35.42 mm, meanwhile, the velocity shock has decreased in a low phase.

文摘In order to reduce the losses caused by tip-leakage flow, axisymmetric contouring is applied to the casing of a two-stage unshrouded high pressure turbine（HPT） of aero-engine in this paper. This investigation focuses on the effects of contoured axisymmetric-casing on the blade tipleakage flow. While the size of tip clearance remains the same as the original design, the rotor casing and the blade tip are obtained with the same contoured arc shape. Numerical calculation results show that a promotion of 0.14% to the overall efficiency is achieved. Detailed analysis indicates that it reduces the entropy generation rate caused by the complex vortex structure in the rotor tip region, especially in the tip-leakage vortex. The low velocity region in the leading edge（LE） part of the tip gap is enlarged and the pressure side/tip junction separation bubble extends much further away from the leading edge in the clearance. So the blocking effect of pressure side/tip junction separation bubble on clearance flow prevents more flow on the tip pressure side from leaking to the suction side, which results in weaker leakage vortex and less associated losses.

If the frequency of the shear stress caused by the disturbance is close to the natural frequency of the sand grains that produced resonance, such a phenomenon is called the 'detection property' of the sediment. It is at this point that the maximum resonance appears and the sand ripple develops rapidly.

文摘This paper presents an experimental investigation of effects of a kind of streamwise-grooved blades on the flowfield in a compressor cascade.The flow field downstream the cascade and the boundary layer on the suctionsurface were measured using a mini 5-hole pressure probe at different incidence angles.The flow field in thegroove cascade was compared with that in the smooth cascade.The measurement results indicate that:(1)thegroove surface can restrain the development of the boundary layer on the suction surface;(2)the grooves canrestrain the radial migration of the low-energy fluids in the boundary layer on the suction surface;(3)the grooveblades can reduce total pressure loss and flow blockage in the cascade at the incidence angles of 0°,5°and 8°;(4)the maximum benefit of 8.6% loss reduction was obtained at the incidence angle of 5° while negative benefit of-3.0% loss reduction occurred at the incidence angle of-5°.

文摘To investigate the effects of matching characteristics of tandem cascade on the performance and flow at large angle of attack, the unsteady numerical simulation has been implemented. The influences of different turning angle ratio(TR) and chord length ratio(CR) of two blades and the relative angle of attack of rear blade(Delta) are analyzed. The numerical results indicated that the tandem cascade can obtain overall performance improvement including higher static pressure ratio and lower total pressure loss with the matching parameters in the range of TR=3～5, CR=0.5～1.2, and Delta=-15°～-5°. The separation on the front blade has more prominent impact than that on the rear blade, so the performance improvement of tandem cascade is significantly dependent on the reduction of front-blade separation and loss. Regarding the rear blade, the gap injection effect can periodically control the separation. Temporal and spatial analysis of the flow field shows that the optimal-performance cases generally have much smaller wake loss for both two blades, but the unsteady characteristics of the wake loss is more apparent than that of the poor performance cases.

文摘With the advantages of high efficiency and compact structure,supercritical carbon dioxide(sC02)Brayton cycles have bright prospects for development in energy conversion field.As one of the core components of the power cycle,the centrifugal compressor tends to operate near the critical point(304.13 K,7.3773 MPa).Normally,the compressor efficiency increases as the inlet temperature decreases.When the inlet temperature is close to the critical point,the density increases sharply as the temperature decreases,which results in quickly decreasing of volume flow rate and efficiency reducing.The flow loss mechanism of the sCO_(2) compressor operating at low flow rate is studied in this paper.Computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulations for sCO_(2)compressor were carried out at various inlet temperatures and various mass flow rates.When the sCO_(2)compressor operates at low volume flow rate,the flow loss is generated mainly on the suction side near the trailing edge of the blade.The flow loss is related to the counterclockwise vortexes generated on the suction side of the main blade.The vortexes are caused by the flow separation in the downstream region of the impeller passage,which is different from air compressors operating at low flow rates.The reason for this flow separation is that the effect of Coriolis force is especially severe for the sCO_(2) fluid,compared to the viscous force and inertial force.At lower flow rates,with the stronger effect of Coriolis force,the direction of relative flow velocity deviates from the direction of radius,resulting in its lower radial component.The lower radial relative flow velocity leads to severe flow separation on the suction side near the trailing edge of the main blade.

文摘Experimental Study on oil-water two-phase flow patterns and pressure loss was conducted on a horizontal steel pipe loop with 26.1mm inner diameter and 30m total length. The working fluids are white oil, diesel oil and tap water. Several instruments, including a new type of liquid-probe are successfully integrated to identify 7 different flow patterns. The characteristics of the flow patterns and the transition process were observed and depicted in this paper. Investigation revealed that the pressure loss was mainly depended on the flow patterns.
文摘The flow loss of a helical channel Magnetohydrodynamic （MHD） thruster without MHD effect was numerically studied with 3-D simulations, and a flow loss coefficient （ was defined to quantify the flow loss and its influencing factors were studied. The results show that （ decreases in a first-order exponential manner with the pitch of a helical wall and the Reynolds number, and it declines slowly when t / T 〉 0.2 and Re 〉 10^5, a flow guide makes the flow more smooth and uniform, especially in the flow guide and helical wall sub-regions and thus reduces the flow loss greatly, by about 30% with the averaged value of （ from 0.0385 to 0.027, a rectifier weakens the helical flow and strengthens the axial one in the rectifier and outlet sub-regions, thus reduces the rotational kinetic pressure with the averaged value of ξ declining about 4% from 0.0385 to 0.037, and ξ decreases with a rectifier＇s axial length when Re 〉 10^5 .
