A Modeling Study on Particle Dispersion in Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows

Three physical mechanisms which may affect dispersion of particle's motion in wall-bounded turbulent flows, including the effects of turbulence, wall roughness in particle-wall collisions, and inter-particle collisions, are numerically investigated in this study. Parametric studies with different wall roughness extents and with different mass loading ratios of particles are performed in fully developed channel flows with the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. A low-Reynolds-number $k-\epsilon$ turbulence model is applied for the solution of the carrier-flow field, while the deterministic Lagrangian method together with binary-collision hard-sphere model is applied for the solution of particle motion. It is shown that the mechanism of inter-particle collisions should be taken into account in the modeling except for the flows laden with sufficiently low mass loading ratios of particles. Influences of wall roughness on particle dispersion due to particle-wall collisions are found to be considerable in the bounded particle-laden flow. Since the investigated particles are associated with large Stokes numbers, i.e., larger than $\mathcal{O}(1)$, in the test problem, the effects of turbulence on particle dispersion are much less considerable, as expected, in comparison with another two physical mechanisms investigated in the study.     

高剪切率的Couette流下液氩流体热导率的分子动力学模拟

基于平衡分子动力学(EMD)模拟方法,对Lees-Edwards周期性边界条件作一修正并成功地应用其形成具有高恒定剪切率的Couette流动,最后通过Green-Kubo公式计算得到了剪切流下液氩流体的热导率。计算结果,表明在剪切流下液氩流体的热导率仍然表现为各向同性,同时还发现流动方向的热导率不随流动剪切率的增加而发生变化,并且该值跟静态下液氩的热导率(λ=0.132 Wm~(-1)K~(-1))基本一致。     

壁面在展向作周期运动的槽道湍流的大涡模拟

分别采用3种亚格子模式:传统的Smagorinsky模式、动力Smagorinsky模式和Cui(2004)基于Kolmogorov方程所提出的新模式,对壁面在展向作周期运动的槽道湍流进行了大涡模拟,以考察这3种模式对平均运动为三维、非定常的湍流流动的模拟能力.通过对湍流基本统计量的分析,发现动力模式和新模式都可以较好地预测这种三维非定常的湍流流动;对相位平均的湍流统计量,动力模式的结果略优于新模式;传统的Smagorinsky模式对这种流动的预测结果是最差的.     

Activation Energy for the Glass Transition of a Confined Elastomer in HDPE/PP Blends

Blends of two highly crystalline polymers containing an elastomer were prepared to study the glass transition of the confined elastomer. The polymers chosen were high density poly ethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and two elastomers of a different nature: natural number (NR) and EPDM. The dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) technique was used to analyze the storage modulus of blends with elastomer content from 0% to 30% by weight, with the remainder made up of equal amounts of HDPE and PP, and blends with 10% of the elastomer, but varied ratios of polyolefins. We used the differentiation modification of the Arrhenius method in the kinetic analysis assuming an n‐order relaxation mechanism, which allowed detecting the percolation threshold of NR. Results indicate that both temperature and activation energy for glass transition (T _g ) are dependent on the types of polymers in the blend and blend composition. The T _g and E values of the unblended elastomers are higher than those in blends; this behavior is associated with the elastomer confinement and blend morphology.

对可控扩散叶型(CDA)环形叶栅和4种具有不同长度和流向位置的端壁翼刀叶栅内的三维黏性流场进行了数值模拟。结果表明:较长翼刀对气流横向流动的阻断作用较强,较短翼刀产生的附加损失较小;加装翼刀后叶栅中部气流流动状况显著改善,但端壁附近损失有所增加;翼刀加装在流道前部比后部更有利于降低总能量损失,占据前1/2流道的翼刀方案为本文最佳翼刀方案,使叶栅总能量损失比原型叶栅低2.2%。

Numerical Simulation of Deflagration to Detonation Transition in a Straight Duct: Effects of Energy Release and Detonation Stability

Numerical simulation based on the Euler equation and one-step reaction model is carried out to investigate the process of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) occurring in a straight duct. The numerical method used includes a high resolution fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme for spatial discretization, coupled with a third order total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta time stepping method. In particular, effect of energy release on the DDT process is studied. The model parameters used are the heat release at $q=50, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10$ and $5$, the specific heat ratio at $1.2$, and the activation temperature at $Ti=15$, respectively. For all the cases, the initial energy in the spark is about the same compared to the detonation energy at the Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) state. It is found from the simulation that the DDT occurrence strongly depends on the magnitude of the energy release. The run-up distance of DDT occurrence decreases with the increase of the energy release for $q$=50~20, and increases with the increase of the energy release for $q$=20~5. This phenomenon is found to be in agreement with the analysis of mathematical stability theory. It is suggested that the factors to strengthen the DDT would make the detonation more stable, and vice versa. Finally, it is concluded from the simulations that the interaction of the shock wave and the flame front is the main reason for leading to DDT.     

Electron Energy Loss Spectra of the Organic Complexes of Europium

In the electron energy loss spectra (EELS) of the organic europium complexes Eu³⁺ (BTFA)₃TPPO and Eu³⁺(BrBTFA)₃TPPO in a gas phase obtained on excitation by monokinetic beams of electrons of different energies in the range 12–50 eV, we have identified the bands associated with the electron transitions S ₀–S ₁, S ₀–S ₂, and S ₀–S ₃. The connection of these transitions with the structural groups of the complexes is established. The addition of the bromine atom to the phenyl ring of diketonate leads to the rise in the relative intensity of the S ₀–S ₂ band. The singlettriplet transitions manifest themselves in the region 2.5–3.2 eV and contribute to the S ₀–S ₂ band of the electron energy loss spectra.
