含氦泡金属铝层裂响应的数值分析

因自辐照效应的影响,一些材料内部会产生大量的氦泡,关注这些氦泡对材料力学性能的影响是目前损伤破坏研究中的重要问题之一。结合相关文献的实验结果,采用耦合材料初始损伤、孔洞尺寸及惯性影响的损伤模型,对该问题进行了数值分析。结果显示:氦泡的内压及材料变形中温度的变化对损伤发展的影响很小;材料的初始损伤越大,材料内部应力减小得越快,损伤增长得越慢;因惯性的影响,初始氦泡越大,损伤增长相对较慢。因此,分析含氦泡材料的层裂损伤问题需要重点关注材料初始氦泡大小、初始损伤以及损伤演化过程中惯性的影响。     

爆轰波管中铝粉尘爆轰的数值模拟

用两相流模型对爆轰波管中的铝粉尘的爆轰波进行了研究。模型考虑了气体和颗粒两相间速度和温度的不同及由于管壁引起的对流热传导和粘性引起的耗散,考虑了由于铝颗粒表面粗糙使得表面积增加的因素。铝颗粒的点火判据使用了新的判据,即铝颗粒在激波后的气流中温度达到铝的熔点且铝全部熔化即被点火。数值模拟了内径为15.2cm的爆轰波管中铝粉尘中爆轰波的传播和发展,得到了爆轰波速度及铝颗粒点火距离,还得到了爆轰流场中物理量的分布。从前导激波面到CJ面处,两相间的速度和温度有明显的差别。还考虑了粒子由于粗糙引起的表面积增加对爆轰波的影响,这个因素对铝颗粒的点火距离的影响较大,对这里计算的铝粉尘爆轰波的速度基本没有影响。结果表明,两相流模型可以较好地描述铝粉尘的爆轰过程,得到具有很粗糙表面、平均粒子直径为3.4m的铝粉尘浓度为304g/m3时爆轰波的速度为1.63km/s,点火距离为3mm,与实验值符合较好。     

悬浮RDX炸药和铝颗粒混合粉尘爆轰的数值模拟

采用两相流方法对炸药颗粒直径为20.0 m时与铝颗粒混合物的爆轰波的发展与传播过程及爆轰波参数进行了数值计算。结果表明,在炸药粉尘中加入铝颗粒,可以大大提高爆轰波参数。当铝颗粒直径为3.4 m时,尽管铝颗粒的直径较炸药颗粒直径小,但由于炸药颗粒的点火温度低,二者的点火时间相差不多。如果铝颗粒的直径为7.0 m,由于铝颗粒的点火滞后于炸药颗粒的点火,混合颗粒粉尘中可能形成双波阵面的爆轰波。     

Numerical simulation of the disintegration of forced liquid jets using volume-of-fluid method

The present numerical study investigates the effect of finite sinusoidal velocity modulations imposed on an otherwise unperturbed cylindrical liquid jet issuing into stagnant gas using Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) methodology. Variation of the simulation parameters, comprising of the mean liquid jet velocity, modulation amplitude and frequency grouped together using a set of non-dimensional parameters, leads to the formation of a wide gamut of reproducible liquid structures such as surface waves, upstream/downstream directed bells and chains of droplets similar to those observed in experiments. The computations efficiently capture the diverse flow structures generated by the evolving modulated liquid jet inclusive of several nonlinear dynamics such as growth of surface waves, ligament interaction with shear vortices and its subsequent thinning process. The simulations identify the deterministic behaviour of modulated liquid jets to predict liquid disintegration modes under given set of non-dimensional parameters.

NUMERICAL STUDY OF PARTICLE DISTRIBUTION IN WAKE OF LIQUID-PARTICLE FLOWS PAST A CIRCULAR CYLINDER USING DISCRETE VORTEX METHOD

Particle-laden water flows past a circular cylinder were numerically investigated. The discrete vortex method (DVM) was employed to evaluate the unsteady water flow fields and a Lagrangian approach was applied for tracking individual solid particles. A dispersion function was defined to represent the dispersion scale of the particle. The wake vortex patterns, the distributions and the time series of dispersion functions of particles with different Stokes numbers were obtained. Numerical results show that the particle distribution in the wake of the circular cylinder is closely related to the particle's Stokes number and the structure of wake vortices: (1) the intermediate sized particles with Stokes numbers, St, of 0.25, 1.0 and 4.0 can not enter the vortex cores and concentrate near the peripheries of the vortex structures, (2) in the circular cylinder wake, the dispersion intensity of particles decreases as St is increased from 0.25 to 4.0.

缝洞型多孔介质中多相流的有限体积法数值模拟

本文研究的碳酸盐岩油藏储集体属于缝洞型多孔介质.这类缝洞型多孔介质由裂缝、溶蚀孔洞和低孔隙度低渗透率的基岩组成.裂缝是空隙流体流动的主要通道;溶蚀孔洞大小从几厘米到数米不等,渗透率和孔隙度都很高,是流体主要的储集空间.由于缝洞型多孔介质空隙空间的复杂性和强非均质性,数值计算中基本控制方程的空间离散应采用非结构化网格的计算模型.本文采用有限体积法模拟缝洞型多孔介质中多相流体的流动,并给出了相应的单元中心格式有限体积法的计算公式.裂缝介质和溶洞介质中单元间多相流体的流动考虑为高速非达西流,其质量通量采用Forchheimer定律计算.非线性方程的离散选取全隐式格式,并采用Newton-Raphson迭代进行求解.通过两个二维模型注水驱油的数值模拟,验证了本文方法的有效性.     

Numerical prediction of droplet dynamics in turbulent flow,using the level set method

In the present article, the droplet dynamics in turbulent flow is numerically predicted. The modelling is based on an interfacial marker-level set (IMLS) method, coupled with the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations to predict the dynamics of turbulent two-phase flow. The governing equations for time-dependent, two-dimensional and incompressible two-phase flow are described in both phases and solved separately using a control volume approach on structured cell-centred collocated grids. The topological changes of the interface are predicted by applying the level set approach. The kinematic and dynamic conditions on the interface separating the two phases are satisfied. The numerical method proposed is validated against a well-known computational fluid dynamics problem. Further, the deformation and breakup of a single droplet either suddenly moved in air or exposed to turbulent stream are numerically investigated. In general, the developed numerical method demonstrates remarkable capability in predicting the characteristics of complex turbulent two-phase flows.     

Numerical study of steady/unsteady flow and heat transfer in porous media using a characteristics-based matrix-free implicit FV method on unstructured grids

In this study, a high-resolution characteristic-based finite-volume (FV) method on unstructured grids [Int. J. Numer. Method Eng. 50 (2001) 11; Int. J. Heat Fluid Flow 21 (2000) 432] is extended by a matrix-free implicit dual-time stepping scheme for the numerical simulation of steady and unsteady flow and heat transfer with porous media. The method has been used to study the characteristics of a complex problem: flow and heat transfer in a channel with multiple discrete porous blocks, which was originally proposed by Huang and Vafai [J. Thermophys. Heat Transfer 8 (3) (1994) 563]. In addition, flow and heat transfer in a channel partially or fully filled with porous layers and containing solid protruding blocks with constant heat flux on its lower surface are also investigated in details. Hydrodynamic and heat transfer results are reported for both steady and transient flow cases. In particular, the effects of Darcy and Reynolds numbers on heat transfer augmentation and pressure loss are studied. An in-depth discussion of the formation and variation of recirculation is presented and the existence of optimum porous insert is demonstrated. At high Reynolds numbers the flow in the porous channel exhibits a cyclic characteristics although unlike the non-porous channel flow, the cyclic vortex development is only restricted to a small area behind the last solid block, while temperature changes more slowly and does not exhibit cyclic variations over a long period of time. It is shown that for all the cases studied altering some parametric values can have significant and interesting effects on both flow pattern as well as heat transfer characteristics.

Numerical simulation of impact forces by a falling sphere in air using ALE finite element method

ABSTRACT

A numerical method is developed to simulate the process that a falling rigid sphere hits rigid ground and bounces back in air. The problem is treated as fluid-structure interaction problem based on the ALE finite element flow analysis. In order to introduce the numerical process of impact into the present staggered fluid-structure time marching algorithm, the impact force is applied to the equation of motion of the sphere. The magnitude of the impact force is determined by iteration so that the velocity of the sphere after impact converges to zero. Application of the impact force at a single time instant causes unphysical pressure oscillation. This has been suppressed by applying the impact force smoothly over multiple short time steps. In the present method impulse is evaluated instead of impact force. Computations with different density ratio of the sphere to air showed effect of the air on the sphere motion.     

Numerical investigation of particle lateral migration in straight channel flows using a direct-forcing immersed boundary method

Inertia-induced cross-stream migration has been recently exploited for precise position of particles in confined channel flows. In this work, a three-dimensional finite volume based immersed boundary method has been developed to study the lateral migration and hydrodynamic self-assembly of neutrally-buoyant particles in pressure-driven flows. Simulation results show that, in 2D channel flows, the equilibrium position for a circular particle is closer to the centreline for larger particle Reynolds number due to the increasing flow rate, while in 3D square duct flow, the equilibrium position for a spherical particle is near a face centre and is closer to the wall for larger particle Reynolds number. Self-assembly of a pair of particles is observed in 3D square duct flows but not in 2D channel flows. Mechanisms for the self-assembly are discussed.     

Simulation of natural convection melting in a cavity with fin using lattice Boltzmann method

In this study, a numerical investigation of melting phenomenon with natural convection in a cavity with fin has been performed using enthalpy‐based lattice Boltzmann method. The lattice D2Q9 model was applied to determine the density and velocity fields, and the D2Q5 model for the temperature field. The effect of vertical position and length of the fin on the melting rate was studied. The simulations were carried out for Stefan number of 10, Rayleigh number of 10 ⁵ and relative thermal conductivity (k_fin∕k_fluid) ranging from 5 to 30. The obtained results show that the rate of melting increases when the relative thermal conductivity and the length of the fin become greater. We also found that the variation of vertical position of the fin from bottom to middle has an insignificant effect on melting while it causes the increase of full melting time when the fin is mounted on the top of the cavity.

Numerical study of bubble and particle motion in a turbulent boundary layer using proper orthogonal decomposition

We have studied the motion of bubbles and particles in the near-wall region of a turbulent boundary layer, to investigate the influence of the unsteady turbulent structure. The velocity field was computed using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), and the trajectories of bubbles and particle have been computed by integrating their equation of motion. We have used this to investigate the roles, and the relative importance, of the different forces acting on bubbles and particles, We find that the unsteady turbulent structure plays an important role in the preferential accumulation of bubbles and particles. The accumulation of bubbles depends on a rather complicated interaction between the pressure gradient and the lift force; neither is sufficient, acting on its own, to explain the strong accumulation observed when they act together.

Simulations of fibre orientation in dilute suspensions with front moving in the filling process of a rectangular channel using level-set method

The simulation of fibre orientation in dilute suspension with front moving is carried out using the projection and level-set methods. The motion of fibres is described using the Jeffery equation, and the contribution of fibres to the flow is accounted for by the configuration-field method. The dilute suspension of short fibres in Newtonian fluids is considered. The governing Navier–Stokes equation for the fluid flow is solved using the projection method with finite difference scheme, while the fibre-related equations are directly solved with the Runge–Kutta method. In the present study for fibres in dilute suspension flow for injection molding, the effects of various flow and material parameters on the fibre orientation, the velocity distributions and the shapes of the leading flow front are found and discussed. Our findings indicate that the presence of fibre motion has little influence on the front shape in the ranges of fibre parameters studied at the fixed Reynolds number. Influence of changing fibre parameters only causes variation of front shape in the region near the wall, and the front shape in the central core area does not vary much with the fibre parameters. On the other hand, the fibre motion has strong influence on the distributions of the streamwise and transverse velocities in the fountain flow. Fibre motion produces strong normal stress near the wall which leads to the reduction of transversal velocity as compared to the Newtonian flow without fibres, which in turn, leads to the increased streamwise velocity near the wall. Thus, the fibre addition to the flow weakens the strength of the fountain flow. The Reynolds number has also displayed significant influence on the distribution of the streamwise velocity behind the flow front for a given fibre concentration. It is also found that the fibre orientation is not always along the direction of the velocity vector in the process of mold filling. In the region of the fountain flow, the fibre near the centreline is more oriented across the streamwise direction compared to that in the region far behind the flow front. This leads to the fact that the fibre near the centreline in the region of fountain flow is more extended along the transverse direction. As the fibre orientation in the suspension flow and the shape of the flow front have great bearing on the quality of the product made from injection molding, this study has much implications for engineering applications. These results can also be useful in other fields dealing with fibre suspensions.
