Laser Doppler anemometry measurements of laminar flow in helical pipes

Three-dimensional laser Doppler anemometry measurements are performed on developed laminar flow in three helical pipes. The experimental observations are compared to results of numerical calculations employing the fully elliptic numerical method. Good agreement is found between measured data and numerical results. The three helical pipes, with curvature ratios of 0.0734 and 0.1374 and non-dimensional pitches of 0.0793 and 0.193, are adopted to study the effects of curvature and pitch on laminar flow in the experimental approach. The range of Reynolds numbers is 500–2000 to ensure laminar flow in the entire helical pipe. Both the profile shapes of the normal components of the secondary flow and those of the axial flow along the same centerline present not only similar patterns but also similar change when pitch, curvature ratio, and Reynolds number vary. The results demonstrate comprehensive relationships between the axial flow and the secondary flow.     

泡沫铝合金填充圆管三点弯曲实验研究

用实验方法研究了三种不同管壁厚度、两种跨径的泡沫铝合金填充圆管的三点弯曲力学性能,得到了泡沫铝合金填充管结构承载过程中的三种变形模式,即压入、压入弯曲和管壁下缘拉裂破坏。给出了空管和泡沫铝合金填充管的载荷位移曲线,并进行了比较。实验发现泡沫铝合金填充管结构的承载能力随泡沫铝合金密度的增大而增大,但破坏应变则随之减小。结构承载力的相对提高量随着管壁厚度的减小和跨径的增大而增大。此外,分析了泡沫铝合金提高填充管结构承载能力的机理。泡沫铝合金填充使管壁压入量和管截面抗弯刚度的损失显著减小,从而提高了结构的抗弯能力。

Global stability analysis of a 90°-bend pipe flow

The present work investigates the stability properties of the flow in a 90°-bend pipe with curvature $\delta =R/R_c=1/3$, with R being the radius of the cross-section of the pipe and $R_c$ the radius of curvature at the pipe centreline. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) for values of the bulk Reynolds number ${\mathit{Re}}_b=U_{b}D/\nu$ between 2000 and 3000 are performed. The bulk Reynolds number is based on the bulk velocity $U_b$, the pipe diameter D, and the kinematic viscosity $\nu$. The flow is found to be steady for ${\mathit{Re}}_b⩽2500$, with two main pairs of symmetric, counter-rotating vortices in the section of the pipe downstream of the bend. The presence of two recirculation regions is detected inside the bend: one on the outer wall and the other on the inner side. For ${\mathit{Re}}_b⩾2550$, the flow exhibits a periodic behaviour, oscillating with a fundamental non-dimensional frequency $\mathit{St}=\mathit{fD}/U_b=0.23$. A global stability analysis is performed in order to determine the cause of the transition from the steady to the periodic regime. The spectrum of the linearised Navier-Stokes operator reveals a pair of complex conjugate eigenvalues with positive real part, hence the transition is ascribed to a Hopf bifurcation occurring at ${\mathit{Re}}_{b,\mathit{cr}}\approx 2531$, a value much lower than the critical Reynolds number for the flow in a torus with the same curvature. The velocity components of the unstable direct and adjoint eigenmodes are investigated, and they display a large spatial separation, most likely due to the non-normality of the linearised Navier-Stokes operator. Thus, the core of the instability, also known in the literature as the wavemaker, is sought performing an analysis of the structural sensitivity of the unstable eigenmode to spatially localised feedbacks. The region located 15° downstream of the bend inlet, on the outer wall, is the most receptive to this kind of perturbations, and thus corresponds to where the instability originates. Since this region coincides with the outer-wall separation bubble, it is concluded that the instability is linked to the strong shear by the backflow phenomena. The present results are relevant for technical applications where bent pipes are frequently used, and their stability properties have hitherto not been studied.     

Degradation effects of dilute polymer solutions on turbulent drag reduction in pipe flows

An important practical problem in the application and study of drag reduction by polymer additives is the degradation of the polymer, for instance due to intense shearing, especially in recirculatory flow systems. Such degradation leads to a marked loss of the drag-reducing capability of the polymer.Three different polymer types were tested on degradation effects in a closed pipe flow system. The polymers used were Polyox WSR-301, Separan AP-273 and Superfloc A-110, dissolved in water in concentrations of 20 wppm each. The flow system consisted of a 16.3 mm pipe of 4.25 m length. Two different pumps were used: a centrifugal pump and a disc pump. Different solution-preparation procedures were tried and the experiments were performed at different flow rates.Superfloc A-110 proved to be both the most effective drag reducer and most resistant to degradation. Because of very fast degradation, Polyox WSR-301 was found to be unsuitable for being used as a drag reducer in re-circulatory systems. The disc pump proved to be much better suited for pumping the polymer solutions than the centrifugal pump. The degradation curve of the combination Superfloc/disc pump showed a plateau-like region with reasonable drag reduction, which makes it possible to perform (laser Doppler) measurements under nearly constant circumstances during a sufficient time.

Experimental study on oil–water flow in horizontal and slightly inclined pipes

Oil–water two-phase flow experiments were conducted in a 15 m long, 8.28 cm diameter, inclinable steel pipe using mineral oil (density of 830 kg/m³ and viscosity of 7.5 mPa s) and brine (density of 1060 kg/m³ and viscosity of 0.8 mPa s). Steady-state data on flow patterns, two-phase pressure gradient and holdup were obtained over the entire range of flow rates for pipe inclinations of −5°, −2°, −1.5°, 0°, 1°, 2° and 5°. The characterization of flow patterns and identification of their boundaries was achieved via observation of recorded movies and by analysis of the relative deviation from the homogeneous behavior. A stratified wavy flow pattern with no mixing at the interface was identified in downward and upward flow. Two gamma-ray densitometers allowed for accurate measurement of the absolute in situ volumetric fraction (holdup) of each phase for all flow patterns. Extensive results of holdup and two-phase pressure gradient as a function of the superficial velocities, flow pattern and inclinations are reported. The new experimental data are compared with results of a flow pattern dependent prediction model, which uses the area-averaged steady-state two-fluid model for stratified flow and the homogeneous model for dispersed flow. Prediction accuracies for oil/water holdups and pressure gradients are presented as function of pipe inclination for all flow patterns observed. There is scope for improvement for in particular dual-continuous flow patterns.     

Multiple solutions for the laminar flow in a porous pipe with suction at slowly expanding or contracting wall

In this paper, the asymptotic solution for the similarity equation of the laminar flow in a porous pipe with suction at expanding and contracting wall has been obtained using the singular perturbation method. However, this solution neglects exponentially small terms in the matching process. To take into account these exponentially small terms, a method involving the inclusion of exponentially small terms in a perturbation series was used to find the two solutions analytically. The series involving the exponentially small terms and expansion ratio predicts dual solutions. Furthermore, the result indicates that the expansion ratio has much important influence on the solutions. When the expansion ratio is zero, it is a special case that Terrill has discussed.     

Inverse estimation for unknown fouling geometry on inner wall of forced-convection pipe

A conjugate gradient method (CGM) based on the inverse algorithm is used to estimate the unknown fouling-layer profile on the inner wall of a pipe system using simulated temperature measurements taken within the pipe wall. It is assumed that no prior information is available about the functional form of the unknown profile. Therefore, the procedure is classified as the function estimation in inverse calculation. The temperature data obtained from the direct problem are used to simulate the temperature measurements. The accuracy of the inverse analysis is examined using the simulated exact and inexact temperature measurements. The results show that the excellent estimation of the fouling-layer profile can be obtained for the test case considered in this study. The technique presented in this study can be used in a warning system to call for pipe maintenance when the thickness of fouling exceeds a predefined criterion.
