Only elastic deformations of hydraulic reciprocating seals were discussed, and hydrodynamic effects were neglected in many studies. The physical process of the fluid-solid interaction effect did not be clearly presented in the existing fluid-solid interaction models for hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seals, and few of these models had been simultaneously validated through experiments. By exploring the physical process of the fluid-solid interaction effect of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal, a numerical fluid-solid interaction model consisting of fluid lubrication, contact mechanics, asperity contact and elastic deformation analyses is constructed with an iterative procedure. With the SRV friction and wear tester, the experiments are performed to investigate the elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the O-ring seal. The regularity of the friction coefficient varying with the speed of reciprocating motion is obtained in the mixed lubrication condition. The experimental result is used to validate the fluid-solid interaction model. Based on the model, The elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal are presented respectively in the dry friction, mixed lubrication and full film lubrication conditions, including of the contact pressure, film thickness, friction coefficient, liquid film pressure and viscous shear stress in the sealing zone. The proposed numerical fluid-solid interaction model can be effectively used to analyze the operation characteristics of the hydraulic reciprocating O-ring seal, and can also be widely used to study other hydraulic reciprocating seals.展开更多

Moreover, this study examined strategies on improving techniques used for mesh deformation that account for large displacement or deformation calculations. The blade's deformation for each new time step is considered in transient two-way FSI analysis, to make the design more reliable. Usually this is not considered in routine one-way FSI simulations. A rotor with four blades and 4-m diameter was modeled and numerically analyzed. We observed that two-way FSI, utilizing the strongly coupled method, was impossible for a complex model; and thereby using ANSYS-CFX and ANSYS-MECHANICAL in work bench, as given in ANSYS-WORKBENCH, helped case examples 22 and 23, by giving an error when the solution was run. To make the method possible and reduce the computational power, a novel technique was used to transfer the file in ANSYS-APDL to obtain the solution and results. Consequently, the results indicating a two-way transient FSI analysis is a time- and resource-consuming job, but with our proposed technique we can reduce the computational time. The ANSYS STRUCTURAL results also uncover that stresses and deformations have higher values for two-way FSI as compared to one-way FSI. Similarly, fluid flow CFX results for two-way FSI are closer to experimental results as compared to one-way simulation results. Additionally, this study shows that, using the proposed method we can perform coupled simulation with simple multi-node PCs (core i5).展开更多

In this approach, the heat conduction in a solid is coupled with the heat convection in the viscous flow of the fluid resulting in the thermal stress in the solid. The fractional four-step finite element method and the streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin （SUPG） method are used to analyze the viscous thermal flow in the fluid. Analyses of the heat transfer and the thermal stress in the solid axe performed by the Galerkin method. The second-order semi- implicit Crank-Nicolson scheme is used for the time integration. The resulting nonlinear equations are lineaxized to improve the computational efficiency. The integrated analysis method uses a three-node triangular element with equal-order interpolation functions for the fluid velocity components, the pressure, the temperature, and the solid displacements to simplify the overall finite element formulation. The main advantage of the present method is to consistently couple the heat transfer along the fluid-solid interface. Results of several tested problems show effectiveness of the present finite element method, which provides insight into the integrated fluid-thermal-structural interaction phenomena.展开更多

The pseudospectral method is used for the flow fluid and the Lagrangian approach is employed to trace particles. The momentum coupling effect introduced by a particle is approximated to a point force. The simulation results show that the coherent structures are still dominant in the mixing layer, but the large-scale vortex structure and particle dispersion are modulated. The length of large-scale vortex structure is shortened and the pairing is delayed. At the same time, the particles are distributed more evenly in the whole flow field as the mass loading is increased, but the particle dispersion along the transverse direction differs from that along the spanwise direction, which indicates that the effect by the addition of particle on the spanwise large-scale vortex structure is different from the streamwise counterpart.展开更多

This multidisciplinary field known as FSI has been expanded to engineering fields such as offshore structures, tall slender structures and other flexible structures applications. The motivation of this paper is to investigate the numerical model of two-way coupling FSI partitioned flexible plate structure under fluid flow. The adopted partitioned method and approach utilized the advantage of the existing numerical algorithms in solving the two-way coupling fluid and structural interactions. The flexible plate was subjected to a fluid flow which causes large deformation on the fluid domain from the oscillation of the flexible plate. Both fluid and flexible plate are subjected to the interaction of load transfer within two physics by using the strong and weak coupling methods of MFS and Load Transfer Physics Environment, respectively. The oscillation and deformation results have been validated which demonstrate the reliability of both strong and weak method in resolving the two-way coupling problem in contribution of knowledge to the feasibility field study of ocean engineering and civil engineering.展开更多

Under the presupposition that gas existence affects water transport, a coupled mathematical model of contaminant transport in unsaturated zone has been established based on fluid_solid interaction mechanics theory. The asymptotical solutions to the nonlinear coupling mathematical model were accomplished by the perturbation and integral transformation method. The distribution law of pore pressure, pore water velocity and contaminant concentration in unsaturated zone has been presented under the conditions of with coupling and without coupling gas phase. An example problem was used to provide a quantitative verification and validation of the model. The asymptotical solution was compared with Faust model solution. The comparison results show reasonable agreement between asymptotical solution and Faust solution, and the gas effect and media deformation has a large impact on the contaminant transport. The theoretical basis is provided for forecasting contaminant transport and the determination of the relationship among pressure_saturation_permeability in laboratory.展开更多

Based on the hydrostatic mechanical seal in reactor coolant pumps, an analytical fluid-solid strong-interaction model is proposed in this paper. According to the design features and operafional principles of the seal, an analytical method to calculate the mechanical deformation of the seal assembly is developed based on the ring deformation theory. A strong-interaction algorithm combining the analysis of the mechanical deformation of the seal assembly and flow field between the seal faceplates is utilized, in which the three kinds of equations including the fluid domain, solid domain and coupling action are constituted in the same equations set and all the variables are solved simul- taneously. So the analytical fluid-solid strong-interaction model used for the seal is built. Moreover, the model is verified by the experimental results. Based on the model, the design parameters of the seal are studied. Two different conditions of the general case and fixed seal leakage rate are discussed respectively, and the regularities that the seal behaviors are affected by the parameters of the holding screws on the clamp rings and seal faceplates are obtained. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for performance analysis, design and assemblage of the seal. Compared to the numerical methods, the proposed model has the unique advantages of high efficiency, convenience and easy application of constraints.展开更多

The immersed boundary method （IBM） is a convenient approach to handle fluid-solid interactions with complex geometries. In this work, Uhlmann＇s direct-forcing IBM is improved and implemented on a supercomputer with CPU-GPU hybrid architec- ture. The direct-forcing IBM is modified as follows： the Poisson＇s equation for pressure is solved before evaluation of the body force, and the force is only distributed to the Cartesian grids inside the immersed boundary. A multidirect forcing scheme is used to evaluate the body force. These modifications result in a divergence-free flow field in the fluid domain and the no-slip boundary condition at the immersed boundary simultaneously. This method is implemented in an explicit finite-difference fractional-step scheme, and validated by 2D simulations of lid-driven cavity flow, Couette flow between two concentric cylinders and flow over a circular cylinder. Finally, the method is used to simulate the sedimentation of two circular particles in a channel. The results agree very well with previous experimental and numerical data, and are more accurate than the conventional direct-forcing method, especially in the vicinity of a moving boundary.展开更多

We reformulate the unbounded scattering problem into an equivalent initial-boundary value problem defined in a bounded domain by proposing a transparent boundary condition(TBC) on a hemisphere. Analyzing the reduced problem with the Lax-Milgram lemma and the abstract inversion theorem of the Laplace transform,we prove the well-posedness and stability for the reduced problem. Moreover, an a priori estimate is established directly in the time domain for the acoustic wave and elastic displacement by using the energy method.展开更多

The flexible plate was subjected to a fluid flow which causes large deformation on the fluid domain from the oscillation of the flexible plate. Both fluid and flexible plate are subjected to the interaction of load transfer within two physics by using the strong and weak coupling methods of MFS and Load Transfer Physics Environment, respectively. The oscillation and deformation results have been validated which demonstrate the reliability of both strong and weak method in resolving the two-way coupling problem in contribution of knowledge to the feasibility field study of ocean engineering and civil engineering.
文摘The process of contaminant transport is a problem of multicomponent and multiphase flow in unsaturated zone. Under the presupposition that gas existence affects water transport, a coupled mathematical model of contaminant transport in unsaturated zone has been established based on fluid_solid interaction mechanics theory. The asymptotical solutions to the nonlinear coupling mathematical model were accomplished by the perturbation and integral transformation method. The distribution law of pore pressure, pore water velocity and contaminant concentration in unsaturated zone has been presented under the conditions of with coupling and without coupling gas phase. An example problem was used to provide a quantitative verification and validation of the model. The asymptotical solution was compared with Faust model solution. The comparison results show reasonable agreement between asymptotical solution and Faust solution, and the gas effect and media deformation has a large impact on the contaminant transport. The theoretical basis is provided for forecasting contaminant transport and the determination of the relationship among pressure_saturation_permeability in laboratory.

文摘The studies on the mechanisms and performances of the mechanical seals in reactor coolant pumps are very important for the safe operations of the pressurized water reactor power plants. Based on the hydrostatic mechanical seal in reactor coolant pumps, an analytical fluid-solid strong-interaction model is proposed in this paper. According to the design features and operafional principles of the seal, an analytical method to calculate the mechanical deformation of the seal assembly is developed based on the ring deformation theory. A strong-interaction algorithm combining the analysis of the mechanical deformation of the seal assembly and flow field between the seal faceplates is utilized, in which the three kinds of equations including the fluid domain, solid domain and coupling action are constituted in the same equations set and all the variables are solved simul- taneously. So the analytical fluid-solid strong-interaction model used for the seal is built. Moreover, the model is verified by the experimental results. Based on the model, the design parameters of the seal are studied. Two different conditions of the general case and fixed seal leakage rate are discussed respectively, and the regularities that the seal behaviors are affected by the parameters of the holding screws on the clamp rings and seal faceplates are obtained. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for performance analysis, design and assemblage of the seal. Compared to the numerical methods, the proposed model has the unique advantages of high efficiency, convenience and easy application of constraints.

文摘Dynamic fluid-solid interactions are widely found in chemical engineering, such as in particle-laden flows, which usually contain complex moving boundaries. The immersed boundary method （IBM） is a convenient approach to handle fluid-solid interactions with complex geometries. In this work, Uhlmann＇s direct-forcing IBM is improved and implemented on a supercomputer with CPU-GPU hybrid architec- ture. The direct-forcing IBM is modified as follows： the Poisson＇s equation for pressure is solved before evaluation of the body force, and the force is only distributed to the Cartesian grids inside the immersed boundary. A multidirect forcing scheme is used to evaluate the body force. These modifications result in a divergence-free flow field in the fluid domain and the no-slip boundary condition at the immersed boundary simultaneously. This method is implemented in an explicit finite-difference fractional-step scheme, and validated by 2D simulations of lid-driven cavity flow, Couette flow between two concentric cylinders and flow over a circular cylinder. Finally, the method is used to simulate the sedimentation of two circular particles in a channel. The results agree very well with previous experimental and numerical data, and are more accurate than the conventional direct-forcing method, especially in the vicinity of a moving boundary.
文摘Marine propellers have complex geometry and their performance is determined by costly and time consuming open water experiments.Use of numerical techniques helps researchers in effective design of propellers.Several approaches are used that predicted either hydrodynamic and acoustic response or structural response.Two-way fluid-structure interaction(FSI)analysis is a very useful approach providing all three responses which helps in the design,analysis and optimization of a propeller.The objective of this paper is to predict the hydro-elastic response of a propeller using two-way FSI on a 0.2m diameter,DTMB-4119 propeller using ANSYS software.Two-way FSI analysis is carried out using system coupling approach that transfers the data between the structural and fluid solvers.The turbulence effects are captured using the large-eddy simulation(LES)model and the Ffowcs Williams Hawkings(FWH)acoustic model is used for evaluating the sound pressure level(SPL)generated by propeller.Analysis is extended to evaluate the hydro-elastic and acoustic response of the propeller after validating the hydrodynamic performance with the experimental result in the literature.The results from Two-way FSI analysis are in close agreement when compared with the one-way FSI analysis.Two-way FSI can accommodate the peak value of stress and deformation developed during the initial part of the transient solution which is important in the design of propeller.This study reveals that metallic(NAB)propeller can be replaced by a composite propeller.The acoustic response from two-way FSI analysis will be more realistic due to the consideration of hydro-elastic effect of propeller.

文摘This paper is concerned with the mathematical analysis of a time-dependent fluid-solid interaction problem associated with a bounded elastic body immersed in a homogeneous air or fluid above a local rough surface. We reformulate the unbounded scattering problem into an equivalent initial-boundary value problem defined in a bounded domain by proposing a transparent boundary condition(TBC) on a hemisphere. Analyzing the reduced problem with the Lax-Milgram lemma and the abstract inversion theorem of the Laplace transform,we prove the well-posedness and stability for the reduced problem. Moreover, an a priori estimate is established directly in the time domain for the acoustic wave and elastic displacement by using the energy method.

文摘A two-phase flow model accelerated by graphical processing unit(GPU)is developed to solve fluid-solid interaction(FSI)using the sharp-interface immersed boundary method(IBM).This model solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using the projection-based fractional step method in a fixed staggered Cartesian grid system.A volume of fluid(VOF)method with second-order accuracy is employed to trace the free surface.To represent the intricate surface geometry,the structure is discretized using the unstructured triangle mesh.Additionally,a ray tracing method is employed to classify fluid and solid points.A high-order stable scheme has been introduced to reconstruct the local velocity at interface points.Three FSI problems,including wave evolution around a breakwater,interaction between a periodic wave train and a moving float,and a 3-D moving object interacting with the free surface,were investigated to validate the accuracy and stability of the proposed model.The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental data.Additionally,we evaluated the computational performance of the proposed GPU-based model.The GPU-based model achieved a 42.29 times speedup compared with the single-core CPU-based model in the three-dimension test.Additionally,the results regarding the time cost of each code section indicate that achieving more significant acceleration is associated with solving the turbulence,advection,and diffusion terms,while solving the pressure Poisson equation(PPE)saves the most time.Furthermore,the impact of grid number on computational efficiency indicates that as Fluid-solid interaction(FSI)immersed boundary method(IBM)graphical processing unit(GPU)two-phase flow moving rigid bodythe number of grids increases,the GPU-based model outperforms the multi-core CPU-based model.
文摘This paper introduces MultiPHydro,an in-house computational solver developed for simulating hydrodynamic and multiphase fluid—body interaction problems,with a specialized focus on multiphase flow dynamics.The solver employs the boundary data immersion method(BDIM)as its core numerical framework for handling fluid—solid interfaces.We briefly outline the governing equations and physical models integrated within MultiPHydro,including weakly-compressible flows,cavitation modeling,and the volume of fluid(VOF)method with piecewise-linear interface reconstruction.The solver’s accuracy and versatility are demonstrated through several numerical benchmarks:single-phase flow past a cylinder shows less than 10%error in vortex shedding frequency and under 4%error in hydrodynamic resistance;cavitating flows around a hydrofoil yield errors below 7%in maximum cavity length;water-entry cases exhibit under 5%error in displacement and velocity;and water-exit simulations predict cavity length within 7.2%deviation.These results confirm the solver’s capability to reliably model complex fluid-body interactions across various regimes.Future developments will focus on refining mathematical models,improving the modeling of phase-interaction mechanisms,and implementing GPU-accelerated parallel algorithms to enhance compatibility with domestically-developed operating systems and deep computing units(DCUs).

文摘This study focuses on the hydrated ion bridge(HIB)effect at the oil-rock interface in low-to ultra-low-permeability oil reservoirs.It systematically summarizes the research methodologies,formation mechanisms,interaction strength,and disruption mechanisms of HIB,and discusses the influencing mechanisms of HIB on the occurrence state and mobility of crude oil.On this basis,the key challenges inherent in the current HIB research are analyzed,and prospective directions for future development are proposed.Currently,research in this field primarily relies on experimental characterization techniques and molecular simulation methods.The microscopic interactions involved in HIB formation mainly include electrostatic interactions,hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces.Notably,the hydrogen bonds between polar molecules in crude oil and hydrated ions serve as the primary sites for disrupting the HIB effect.The interaction strength of HIB is collectively modulated by ion type and concentration,reservoir solution environment,mineral type of reservoir rocks,and polar components in crude oil,which subsequently influence the occurrence state and mobility of crude oil.Systematic challenges persist in HIB-related research across three dimensions:research methodologies,scale integration and geological complexity.Specifically,the dynamic evolution mechanism of HIB remains inadequately elucidated;a discontinuity exists in the connection of spatiotemporal cross-scale modeling and prediction;and the reproducibility of actual geological environments in experimental settings is insufficient.Future research may pursue breakthroughs in the following three aspects:(1)developing in-situ dynamic experimental characterization techniques and machine learning-augmented simulation strategies;(2)establishing a framework for cross-scale model fusion and upscaling prediction;and(3)conducting in-depth studies on HIB under the coupled effects of complex mineral systems and multi-physical fields.

文摘We consider the inverse fluid-solid interaction scattering of incident plane wave from the knowledge of the phased and phaseless far field patterns.For the phased data,one direct sampling method for location and shape reconstruction is proposed.Only inner product is involved in the computation,which makes it very simple and fast to be implemented.With the help of the factorization of the far field operator,we give a lower bound of the proposed indicator functional for the sampling points inside the elastic body.While for the sampling points outside,we show that the indicator functional decays like the Bessel function as the points go away from the boundaries of the elastic body.We also show that the proposed indicator functional continuously dependents on the far field patterns,which further implies that the novel sampling method is extremely stable with respect to data error.For the phaseless data,to overcome the translation invariance,we consider the scattering of point sources simultaneously.By adding a reference sound-soft obstacle into the scattering system,we show some uniqueness results with phaseless far field data.Numerically,we introduce a phase retrieval algorithm to retrieve the phased data without the additional obstacle.The novel phase retrieval algorithm can also be combined with the sampling method for phased data.We also design two novel direct sampling methods using the phaseless data directly.Finally,some numerical simulations in two dimensions are conducted with noisy data,and the results further verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed numerical methods.
