Enhancing the Bolzon–Schrefler–Zienkiewicz Constitutive Model for Partially Saturated Soil

This paper presents an enhanced version of the elasto-plastic model for partially saturated soil first proposed by Bolzon, Schrefler and Zienkiewicz in 1996, “BSZ” model, which uses the effective stress tensor and suction as independent stress variables. It is recalled that the effective stress tensor proposed by Lewis and Schrefler in 1982 is thermodynamically consistent and, compared with other choices of stress tensors, results particularly suitable for partially saturated soil mechanics. A hydraulic constitutive relationship and a hydraulic hysteresis are introduced in the model, to take into account the irreversible deformation during cyclic drying and wetting until structural collapse. For this reason the plastic rate of strain is split into the sum of two components: one depending on the effective stress tensor and the other one on suction. This is the new feature of the BSZ model. This enhanced model is then cast into a thermodynamical framework at macroscopic level and it is shown that it is possible to derive the constitutive law from the Helmholtz free energy and a dissipation function, both for associative and non- associative plasticity. Finally the model predictions have been compared with experimental data for Sion slime, with particular emphasis on the deviatoric part, and model predictions of hysteretic behaviour have been investigated in case of a wetting and drying cycle on compacted betonite–kaolin.     

离心泵在启动阶段的水力特性研究

针对工作的离心泵,分析了其内部流体的流动情况,建立了在非稳定工况下操作的理论扬程公式,非稳态理论扬程包括旋转加速附加扬程和水流加速消耗扬程以及由于流动速度变化引起泵壳中的附加压力而产生的扬程。在离心泵的启动阶段,对其在不同阀门开度下的水力性能进行了试验研究。测量了瞬时转速、流量、扬程随时间的变化关系,并把试验结果进行修正。由于启动时一部分扬程用来提供流体加速,压力传感器测量不到,因此必须把试验扬程加以修正。将理论计算与修正的试验结果进行了比较分析,两者基本吻合。

Three‐dimensional vortex simulation of unsteady flow in hydraulic turbines

On the basis of the Helmholtz decomposition, a grid‐free numerical scheme is provided for the solution of unsteady flow in hydraulic turbines. The Lagrangian vortex method is utilized to evaluate the convection and stretch of the vorticity, and the BEM is used to solve the Neumann problem to define the potential flow. The no‐slip boundary condition is satisfied by generating vortex sticks at the solid surface. A semi‐analytical regularization technique is applied to evaluate the singular boundary surface integrals of the potential velocity and its gradients accurately. The fast multipole method was extended to evaluate the velocity and velocity gradients induced by the discretized vortex blobs in the Lagrangian vortex method. The successful simulation for the unsteady flow through a hydraulic turbine's runner has manifested the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

考虑单元劈裂的流-固耦合连续-非连续方法及定向水力压裂模拟

为了更真实地模拟水力压裂过程中的岩石变形、裂缝扩展及流体流动,在自主开发的拉格朗日元与离散元耦合的连续-非连续方法的基础上,发展了一种流-固耦合方法。在该方法中,裂缝可沿四边形单元对角线和单元边界扩展,流体流动满足立方定律。通过与单一裂缝非稳态渗流模型及KGD模型的理论解进行对比,验证了该方法的正确性。由定向射孔水力压裂的模拟结果可以发现,(1)距离射孔越远,流体压力越小;随着时间的增加,裂缝中流体压力降低。(2)随着射孔角度的增加,裂缝起裂和扩展过程中的流体压力及转向距离增加;随着x方向水平应力的增加,裂缝起裂和扩展过程中的流体压力增加;两个方向水平应力之差越大,裂缝转向距离越小。(3)随着时间的增加,裂缝区段数目的增速变慢,这与裂缝体积增加变快有关。
