Numerical investigation of the air injection effect on the cavitating flow in Francis hydro turbine

At full and over load operating points, some Francis turbines experience strong self-excited pressure and power oscillations. These oscillations are occuring due to the hydrodynamic instability of the cavitating fluid flow. In many cases, the amplitude of such pulsations may be reduced substantially during the turbine operation by the air injection/ admission below the runner. Such an effect is investigated numerically in the present work. To this end, the hybrid one-three-dimensional model of the flow of the mixture “liquid?vapor” in the duct of a hydroelectric power station, which was proposed previously by the present authors, is augmented by the second gaseous component — the noncondensable air. The boundary conditions and the numerical method for solving the equations of the model are described. To check the accuracy of computing the interface “liquid?gas”, the numerical method was applied at first for solving the dam break problem. The algorithm was then used for modeling the flow in a hydraulic turbine with air injection below the runner. It is shown that with increasing flow rate of the injected air, the amplitude of pressure pulsations decreases. The mechanism of the flow structure alteration in the draft tube cone has been elucidated, which leads to flow stabilization at air injection.     

化学激光器用文氏咀流场特性的数值模拟

 基于现有的文氏咀流量供给管道,提取出轴对称2维计算模型,计算了不同背压下文氏咀及下游管道的流场特性。计算结果显示,随着背压的升高,激波在管道内经历了3种状态,在直管道内为斜激波,到转接段时为拟正激波,进入文氏咀后则为正激波。在进行文氏咀流量计的设计时,应尽量将正激波控制在文氏咀喉道或向下游延伸的一小段距离内,此时是文氏咀的最佳工作状态。另外,采用壁面开孔法在文氏咀下游选取测压点时,为了准确测量截面上的静压,应将测压点选取在距离直管道入口数倍管径处,一般不低于8倍管径。

Laval喷管结构对流动特性和制冷性能的影响

Laval喷管作为天然气超音速旋流分离器的核心部件,其几何结构对喷管制冷性能和分离器的分离效率有着决定性影响。文中利用FLUENT软件进行数值模拟,系统研究了Laval喷管渐缩段线型、渐扩段张角及旋流器位置对Laval喷管内压力分布和制冷性能的影响。结果表明:渐缩段线型对喷管制冷性能有较大影响,采用维托辛斯基曲线进行Laval喷管渐缩段的设计可以获得较好的制冷效果;渐扩段张角越大,温降趋势越明显,喷管出口所能获得的温度越低,制冷效果也越好,但随着渐扩段张角的增大,在喷管存在背压的情况下易造成激波前移,破坏喷管内的低温环境;Laval喷管(加旋流器)的旋流分离能力和制冷性能存在着明显的制约关系,需要在二者之间寻找一个平衡点,使得Laval喷管(加旋流器)可以取得较好的旋流效应和膨胀制冷效果。

Experimental and numerical investigation of flow separation in a supersonic nozzle

The flow in a two-dimensional symmetric convergent-divergent supersonic nozzle with and without a deflector at the exit plane was tested experimentally and numerically. Combined optoelectronic devices were used to demonstrate the possibilities of the shadow and schlieren methods and holographic interferometry for the flow visualization especially in the separation region. A series of experiments was performed in a trisonic wind tunnel (VTI, Beograd). The experimental results obtained using optical methods are compared with the pressure measurements and numerical calculations. Numerical results were obtained using a code for solving the average Navier-Stokes equations. Five structured meshes with different resolutions and two turbulent models were employed. The coupled influence of the mesh resolution and the order of accuracy of the used numerical scheme is analyzed.

主喷管叶片中热壁面对分流管道流场特性的影响

连续波化学激光器运转时,位于主喷管叶片内的副气流的分流管道壁面将被主喷管叶片加热而形成热壁面。通过3维的数值模拟,分析了单端、双端不同供气方式下,热壁面对分流管道流场特性的影响。热壁面将使总管气流总温沿着气流的流动方向逐渐升高,由此引起的支管入口总温的升高会降低支管的流量。无论是单端供气,还是双端供气,热壁面引起的管道流量波动幅度都要远大于绝热壁面的情况,最大波动幅度达2.16%。对进入总管的气流预热,适当增加供气总温,或将冷却管道与供气管道分开设计,气流总温变化引起的流量波动将会得到一定地抑制。

Numerical simulation of the two-phase flow produced by spraying a liquid by a nozzle

A numerical experiment on the simulation of the two-phase flow formed during spraying of a liquid by a nozzle has been described. The radial and axial velocity profiles of the droplets and gas in the free spray and in the two-phase flow through a cylindrical apparatus have been calculated and represented taking into account the early drag crisis of droplets and peculiarities of turbulent friction in the gas, which was detected in previous experiments. The distinguishing feature of the numerical model of the two-phase flow is that it employs the differential equations describing the nonstationary flow of a compressible gas as the initial equations. In transition to their difference analog, the familiar Lax–Wendorff algorithm has been used. A comparison of the results of calculations based on this model with experimental data has demonstrated their concordance.

Numerical investigation of subcooled boiling characteristics of magnetic nanofluid under the effect of quadrupole magnetic field

This paper investigates numerically the characteristics of subcooled flow boiling of a magnetic nanofluid (refrigerant-113 and 4 vol% Fe₃O₄) in a vertical annulus, which is exposed to a nonuniform transverse magnetic field generated by the quadrupole magnet. A control volume technique and SIMPLEC algorithm have been used for discretizing the governing equations and pressure-velocity coupling, respectively. The two-fluid model has been used to simulate subcooled flow boiling of the refrigerant-113. The results indicate that subcooled flow boiling characteristics change not only by using nanofluid as the working fluid, but also by applying the nonuniform transverse magnetic field. In the presence of the aforementioned magnetic field due to the Kelvin force, the fluid attracted to the outer wall. This leads to higher bubble detachment frequency so that the heat pumping is increased and the void fraction on the heated wall is decreased. Thus, the critical heat flux as one of the most important parameters in boiling processes will be increased.     

Numerical investigation of the characteristics of an ion drag pump

Simple, lightweight electrohydrodynamic pumps having no moving parts and producing no mechanical vibration or noise can enhance heat transfer, control fluid flows, and increase drying. This paper reports a numerical investigation of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumps having one centrally located emitter and two collector electrodes. Results show that optimum sizes exist in the length of and spacing between the collectors. Collector electrodes with triangular cross-sections can yield better performance than those having rectangular cross-sections. The magnitude and distribution of the charge density significantly influence pump performance.
