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Large size titanium alloy parts are widely used in aerospace.However,they are difficult to manufacture using mechanical cutting technology because of severe tool wear.Electrochemical jet machining is a promising technology to achieve high efficiency,because it has high machining flexibility and no machining tool wear.However,reports on the macro electrochemical jet machining of large size titanium alloy parts are very scarce,because it is difficult to achieve effective constraint of the flow field in macro electrochemical jet machining.In addition,titanium alloy is very sensitive to fluctuation of the flow field,and a turbulent flow field would lead to serious stray corrosion.This paper reports a series of investigations of the electrochemical jet machining of titanium alloy parts.Based on the flow analysis and experiments,the machining flow field was effectively constrained.TB6 titanium alloy part with a perimeter of one meter was machined.The machined surface was smooth with no obvious machining defects.The machining process was particularly stable with no obvious spark discharge.The research provides a reference for the application of electrochemical jet machining technology to achieve large allowance material removal in the machining of large titanium alloy parts.
文摘Flows and transport phenomena in confined spaces have emerged as a key direction in modern fluid dynamics research[1].Scaling down the hydrodynamic length of a system does not simply lead to a laminar flow in low Reynolds number,but reveals plenty of new phenomena with novel technological implications.Unlike in macroscale systems,fluid behavior at micro-and nanoscales is governed by forces that act at or near the interfaces,including surface tension,wettability,van der Waals interactions,and electrostatic effects,etc.These interfacial forces produce new hydrodynamics and mass transport phenomena that have not been observed on large scales,which are widely used in multidisciplinary areas.

文摘The modern definition of the wave concept,which is based on the functional connection between the parameters of the spatial structure of an instantaneous flow pattern and the characteristics of the temporal variability at a given point,is discussed.The dispersion relation for 2D plane periodic perturbations on the surface of viscous stratified fluid is selected as the characteristic function defining the wave motion.Using the theory of singular perturbations,a method for calculating complete solutions to the dispersion relations of periodic flows,including regular wave and singular ligament solutions is presented.Properties of the complete exact solution of the dispersion relation containing regular and singular functions are compared with asymptotic solutions.In limiting cases,obtained dispersion relations are matched with well⁃known expressions for waves in homogeneous viscous and ideal liquids.

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.
