The effect of magnetic field on two-phase liquid metal flow

In this paper, the basic equations of two-phase liquid metal flow in a magnetic field are derived, and specifically, two-phase liquid metal MHD flow in a rectangular channel is studied, and the expressions of velocity distribution of liquid and gas phases and the ratioK ₀ of the pressure drop in two-phase MHD flow to that in single-phase are derived. Results of calculation show that the ratioK ₀ is smaller than unity and decreases with increasing void fraction and Hartmann number because the effective electrical conductivity in the two-phase case decreases.

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.

Nonlinear Coherence in Multivariate Research: Invariants and the Reconstruction of Attractors

First, some linear techniques in multivariate time-series analysis in EEG research are reviewed to highlight the problem of estimating the dimensionality of the state space (embedding dimension), the reconstruction of an attractor, and the evaluation of invariant properties of the attractor. The traditional linear techniques included the usual spectral and cospectral measures of power, phase, and coherence to which stepwise discriminant analysis was applied for canonical representation of the attractor. Then, some traditional nonlinear techniques of attractor reconstruction and dimensional analysis which use the time-lagged univariate approach of Ruelle and Takens (Takens, 1981) are reviewed. Next, updates and multivariate generalizations that use singular-value decomposition (Broomhead & King, 1986) are reviewed. Finally, Stewart's (1995, 1996) multivariate generalization of the method of false nearest neighbors (Abarbanel, Brown, Sidorowich, & Tsimring, 1993; Kennel, Brown, & Abarbanel, 1992) is reviewed. These are particularly relevant for evaluating multivariate coherence in research on the complex cooperative dynamical systems found in neuroscience, psychology, and social science when time series of sufficient length are investigated.     

Analysis and Modeling of the Turbulent Diffusion of Turbulent Kinetic Energy in Natural Convection

Buoyant flows often contain regions with unstable and stable thermal stratification from which counter gradient turbulent fluxes are resulting, e.g. fluxes of heat or of any turbulence quantity. Basing on investigations in meteorology an improvement in the standard gradient-diffusion model for turbulent diffusion of turbulent kinetic energy is discussed. The two closure terms of the turbulent diffusion, the velocity-fluctuation triple correlation and the velocity-pressure fluctuation correlation, are investigated based on Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) data for an internally heated fluid layer and for Rayleigh–Bénard convection. As a result it is decided to extend the standard gradient-diffusion model for the turbulent energy diffusion by modeling its closure terms separately. Coupling of two models leads to an extended RANS model for the turbulent energy diffusion. The involved closure term, the turbulent diffusion of heat flux, is studied based on its transport equation. This results in a buoyancy-extended version of the Daly and Harlow model. The models for all closure terms and for the turbulent energy diffusion are validated with the help of DNS data for internally heated fluid layers with Prandtl number Pr = 7 and for Rayleigh–Bénard convection with Pr = 0.71. It is found that the buoyancy-extended diffusion model which involves also a transport equation for the variance of the vertical velocity fluctuation gives improved turbulent energy diffusion data for the combined case with local stable and unstable stratification and that it allows for the required counter gradient energy flux.     

考虑二次梯度项及动边界的双重介质低渗透油藏流动分析

在传统试井模型的非线性偏微分方程中根据弱可压缩流体的假设,忽略了二次梯度项,对于低渗透油藏这种方法是有疑问的.低渗透问题一个显著的特点就是流体的流动边界随着时间不断向外扩展.为了更好地研究双重介质低渗透油藏中流体的流动问题,考虑了二次梯度项及活动边界的影响,同时考虑了低渗透油藏的非达西渗流特征,建立了双重介质低渗透油藏流动模型.采用Douglas-Jones预估-校正差分方法获得了无限大地层定产量生产时模型的数值解,分别讨论了不同参数变化时压力的变化规律及活动边界随时间的传播规律,还分析了考虑和忽略二次梯度项影响时模型数值解之间的差异随时间的变化规律,做出了典型压力曲线图版,这些结果可用于实际试井分析.     

高速列车穿越有竖井隧道流场的特性研究

给出了高速列车穿越隧道压力波的三维粘性流场数值模拟过程,控制方程为三维粘性、可压缩、等熵和非定常流的Navier-Stokes方程,空间离散采用了中心有限体积法格式,时间采用预处理二阶精度多步后差分格式进行离散,对隧道壁面采用壁面函数处理。在模拟中考虑了竖井的位置、竖井的断面积、竖井的数目等因素对隧道内压力及压力梯度的影响。计算结果表明,竖井的存在改变了压缩波的波前形状,从而使得隧道内的压力变化的最大值降低,因而能够降低隧道内的压力梯度最大值,但它并不能延长压力上升的时间。
