Calculation of the Pulsed Jet of a Powder Water Cannon under Water

The results of a numerical investigation of a pulsed submerged water jet flowing out from the nozzle of a powder water cannon are given. A mathematical model of the process is constructed and the results of the numerical calculations for a water cannon of specific design are given. The water flow in the water cannon is considered in the quasi-one-dimensional formulation and the submerged jet propagation and its interaction with an obstacle are considered in the axisymmetric formulation. It is shown that the external conditions only slightly affect the water cannon parameters and that for various distances from the obstacle the maximum pressure of the pulsed jet on the obstacle is close to the initial jet dynamic pressure.

An Experimental Study of the Near-Field Mixing Characteristics of a Swirling Jet

The present experimental investigation is devoted to the mixing characteristics of a passive scalar in the near-field region of a moderately swirling jet issuing from a fully developed axially rotating pipe flow. Instantaneous streamwise and azimuthal velocity components as well as the temperature were simultaneously accessed by means of a combined X-wire and cold-wire probe. The results indicate a modification of the turbulence structures to that effect that the swirling jet spreads, mixes and evolves faster compared to its non-swirling counterpart. The high correlation between streamwise velocity and temperature fluctuations as well as the streamwise passive scalar flux are even more enhanced due to the addition of swirl, which in turn shortens the distance and hence time needed to mix the jet with the ambient air.     

Numerical and Experimental Study of Bubble Dynamics in Contact with a Solid Surface

A complex numerical and experimental method is proposed for studying 3D dynamics of a bubble contacting with a surface in the presence of an acoustic field. The numerical approach is based on the boundary element method for potential flows, which is most efficient for solving the problems in a 3D formulation. The use of heterogeneous computer architectures consisting of central graphic processors and becoming more and more popular makes it possible to increase the scale of the problem and sufficiently reduce the calculation time. The mesh destabilization problems are solved using a spherical filter. To describe the contact line dynamics, a semi-empirical law of motion is used. The experimental method is based on high-speed recording and optical microscopy. An air bubble contacts with the inner surface of an experimental cell made from acrylic glass and filled with distilled water. The acoustic field in the cell generated by a disk-shaped acoustic radiator is measured using a hydrophone. The behavior of the bubble contacting with a hydrophillic surface is considered for the cases of a fixed or moving contact line. The shape and volume oscillations of the bubble are investigated. The results of numerical simulations agree qualitatively with the experimental data.     

Experimental and Numerical Study of the Scalar Turbulent/Non-Turbulent Interface Layer in a Jet Flow

Based on two large-eddy simulations (LES) of a non-reacting turbulent round jet with a nozzle based Reynolds number of 8,610 with the same configuration as the one that has recently been investigated experimentally (Gampert et al., 2012; J Fluid Mech, 2012; J Fluid Mech 724:337, 2013), we examine the scalar turbulent/non-turbulent (T/NT) interface layer in the mixture fraction field of the jet flow between ten and thirty nozzle diameters downstream. To this end, the LES—one with a coarse grid and one with a fine grid—are in a first step validated against the experimental data using the axial decay of the mean velocity and the mean mixture fraction as well as based on radial self-similar profiles of mean and root mean square values of these two quantities. Then, probability density functions (pdf) of the mixture fraction at various axial and radial positions are compared and the quality of the LES is discussed. In general, the LES results are consistent with the experimental data. However, in the flow region where the imprint of the T/NT interface layer is dominant in the mixture fraction pdf, discrepancies are observed. In a next step, statistics of the T/NT interface layer are studied, where a satisfactory agreement for the pdf of the location of the interface layer from the higher resolved LES with the experimental data is observed, while the one with the coarse grid exhibits considerable deviations. Finally, the mixture fraction profile across the interface is investigated where the same trend as for the pdf of the location is present. In particular, it is found that the sharp interface that is present in experimental studies (Gampert et al., J Fluid Mech, 2013; Westerweel et al., J Fluid Mech 631:199, 2009) is less distinct in the LES results and rather diffused in radial direction outside of the T/NT interface layer.

Kirchhoff弹性杆分析动力学的准坐标表达

作为DNA的力学模型,依据Kirchhoff动力学比拟思想建立的弹性细杆的分析力学方法已从静力学深入到动力学。由于静力学平衡微分方程与刚体动力学相当,因此,弹性细杆动力学的分析力学方程必是以弧坐标和时间为双自变量的偏微分方程。以横截面的形心速度以及弯扭度和角速度沿主轴的分量为准速度,定义了准坐标,导出了准坐标的微分和变分运算的交换关系。从Hamilton原理出发,利用准坐标的微分和变分运算的交换关系,导出了Kirchhoff弹性杆动力学准坐标下的Boltzmann-Hamel方程,并由此导出Lanrange方程。指出了Boltzmann-Hamel方程显式即为弹性杆动力学的Kirchhoff方程。定义关于弧坐标和时间的正则变量和Hamilton函数,导出Boltzmann-Hamel方程的正则形式。本文结果是以弹性杆静力学和刚性杆动力学为其特例。作为例子,建立了垂挂的在重力作用下作平面运动的弹性细杆的动力学微分方程以说明本文方法的应用。     

Dynamics of a Periodically Pulsed Bio-Reactor Model With a Hydraulic Storage Zone

In this paper, we investigate a periodically pulsed bio-reactor model of a flowing water habitat with a hydraulic storage zone in which no flow occurs. The full system can be reduced to a limiting system based on a conservation principle. Then we obtain sufficient conditions in terms of principal eigenvalues for the persistence of single population and the coexistence of two competing populations for the limiting system by appealing to the theory of monotone dynamical systems. Finally, we use the theory of chain transitive sets to lift the dynamics of the limiting system to the full system.     

Analytical Model for The Capillary Pressure Gradient in Oil–Water–Rock System

A simplified analytical expression for the capillary pressure gradient in homogeneous porous media is proposed. Basic assumptions are: (1) the three phase contact angle between two fluids and porous rock is finite, (2) the surface area of contact between two fluids is small in comparison with contact surface areas between each fluid and porous rock in the unit volume of the system under consideration, (3) the model corresponds to conditions when both phases are continuous.     

One-Dimensional Dynamics of Jet Flows of Elastic Fluids

Flows of elasticoviscous liquids in free jets and in drawn filaments are investigated in the one-dimensional approximation. The interaction of the flows in the jet and the jet-forming die is taken into account. The structure of the transition zones, which ultimately degenerate into shock waves, is investigated. It is shown that depending on the type of instantaneous elastic response jet cross-section necking or swelling shocks may occur. The steady-state flow regimes are investigated numerically.     

Analytical Solution to Subsurface Air Pressure in a Three-Layer Unsaturated Zone with Atmospheric Pressure Changes

In this study, a solution to one-dimensional vertical airflow induced by the time-dependent atmospheric pressure fluctuations is developed in a three-layer unsaturated zone. The discrete atmospheric pressure data are transformed into a continuous boundary condition using the Fourier series analysis. The solution is applied to interpret the field air pressure data in a three-layer unsaturated zone reported in previous studies. The new solution improves the previous solution by reducing the required data measurement and input. The new solution is found to be accurate enough for the purpose of this study by comparing with a numerical solution developed in COMSOL Multiphysics. Given the necessary hydrogeological parameters, the new solution is capable of calculating the air permeability of each layer above a specified depth where the air pressures are known. Sensitivity analysis of the new solution shows that location, thickness, and air permeability of the less permeable layer impose large influence on the propagation of the atmospheric pressure fluctuations. Variations of air-filled porosity in soil layers in/below the less permeable layer may lead to greater amplitude attenuation and phase lag of air pressure than those in soil layers above the less permeable layer.

Experimental and Analytical Study of Free-Fall Drop Impact Testing of Portable Products

Portable products can suffer critical damage due to drop impact and thus, such load cases must be taken into account in the conceptual and detailed design phases of such products. One method explored in the current study for alleviating the peak accelerations resulting from impact is to isolate fragile components from the product housing using internal shock mounts. There is a lack of studies that address this method in a systematic and reliable manner. This paper presents an experimental and analytical study on the dynamic behaviour during impact of portable products with internal shock mounting. Using a special drop tower with guiding frame for controlled-angle free-fall drop impact, representative products are dropped at different angles and the acceleration is recorded both on the outer case and on an internally-mounted plate. A simplified analytical procedure, suitable for conceptual design purposes, is proposed for predicting the resulting dynamic response. The work affirms the suitability of guide-and-release facilities in impact experiments; additionally, it may facilitate the conceptual design for impact resistance of portable products.     

Experimental Study of Nonlinear Flow in Micropores Under Low Pressure Gradient

As throat radius decrease to micro-nanoscale, seepage in unconventional reservoirs such as ultra-low permeability and tight reservoirs differs from conventional ones. Flow experiment in micropores is a promising approach to study characteristics of microflow. In this paper, a visual experimental device was established. Water flow through micropores with radius of 1.38–10.03 \(\upmu \hbox {m}\) was investigated, under 0.033–16 MPa/m. The results showed that in microscale, water flow did not agree with Poiseuille equation. Flow rate was lower than theoretical value and showed nonlinear characteristics. In the near wall area, due to the attraction of solid wall, a stagnant fluid layer was formed. It occupied flow space and thus lowered flow rate. Its thickness declined with pressure gradient increasing, which led to nonlinear flow characteristics. When the pressure gradient was very high, the thickness stopped declining and kept constant. Afterward, the flow transited to linear. In pores with smaller radius, the steady stagnant layer was thinner, but took a larger proportion of the flow space. For tubes of \(r = 1.38, 4.81, 10.03\,\upmu \hbox {m}\), the thickness of steady stagnant layer was 0.11, 0.23, 0.27 \(\upmu \hbox {m}\), respectively.     

Analytical and Experimental Analysis of Wing Rock

The paper deals with the study of an analytical model of wingrock, based on parameter identification of experimental data. Theexperiments were performed in the Aeronautical Laboratory of Politecnicodi Torino, in the D3M Low Speed Wind Tunnel, on a80° delta wing. Free-to-roll tests have been used todetermine build-up and limit cycle characteristics of wing rock. Flowvisualization techniques were also utilized in order to track vortexpositions. The characteristics of the limit cycle (oscillation amplitudeand frequency) were compared in detail with reference results obtainedin other laboratories. An analytical nonlinear model was derived.Parameters were identified by means of the least-squares approximationof experimental data with coherent initial conditions. The consistencyof time histories, reproduced by numerical integration, was alsoanalyzed. This formulation correctly predicts stable limit cycles for awide range of airspeeds, angles of attack and release roll angles.
