Large eddy simulation of swirling particle-laden flow in a model axisymmetric combustor

This paper focuses on the application of the large eddy simulation (LES) technique to a swirling particle-laden flow in a model combustion chamber. A series of calculations have been performed and compared directly with detailed experimental measurements. The computational domain identically matches the laboratory configuration, which effectively isolates effects related to dilute particle dispersion and momentum coupling. Results highlight the predictive capabilities of LES when implemented with the appropriate numerics, grid resolution (as dictated by the class of models employed) and well-defined boundary conditions. The case study provides a clearer understanding of the effectiveness and feasibility of current state-of-the-art models and a quantitative understanding of relevant modeling issues by analyzing the characteristic parameters and scales of importance. The novel feature of the results presented is that they establish a baseline level of confidence in our ability to simulate complex flows at conditions representative of those typically observed in gas-turbine (and similar) combustors.     

Numerical simulation of instantaneous flow structure of swirling and non-swirling coaxial-jet particle-laden turbulence flows

A subgrid scale two-phase second-order-moment (SGS-SOM) model based on the two-fluid continuum approach is presented for the analysis of the instantaneous flow structures of swirling and non-swirling coaxial-jet particle-laden turbulence flows. Since the interaction between the two-phase subgrid scale stresses and the anisotropy of two-phase subgrid scale stresses is fully considered, it is superior to the conventional subgrid scale model on the basis of single gas phase or together with their similar forms for the particle phase for not taken these characters thoroughly into account. The swirling numbers s=0.47 and s=0 of coaxial-jet particle-laden turbulence flows (measured by M. Sommerfeld, H.H. Qiu, Detailed measurements in a swirling particulate two-phase flow by a phase Doppler anemometer, Int. J. Heat Fluid Flow 12 (1991) 20-28) are numerically simulated by large eddy simulation using this model, together with a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes model using the unified second-order-moment two-phase turbulence model (RANS-USM). The instantaneous results show that the multiple recirculating gas flow structure is similar to that of single-phase swirling flows; but the particle flow structure contains less vortices. Both SGS-SOM and RANS-USM predicted that the two-phase time-averaged velocities and the root-mean-square fluctuation velocities are validated and are in good agreement with the experimental results. It is seen that for the two-phase time-averaged velocities both the models give almost the same results, hence the RANS-USM modeling is validated by large eddy simulation. For the two-phase root-mean-square fluctuation velocities the SGS-SOM results are obviously better than the RANS-USM results.     

Iron/iron oxides core-shell nanoparticles by laser pyrolysis: Structural characterization and enhanced particle dispersion

Well-dispersed nanoparticles with iron/iron carbide core and iron oxide shell structures may constitute an excellent magnetic material for different applications as magnetic nanofluids, contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging, sensors and catalysts. Based on the ability of the CO₂ laser pyrolysis technique to synthesize nanoparticles of the Fe/Fe₂O₃ core-shell type, we further improve the powder dispersion by first collecting the nanoparticles in a toluene bubbler, positioned downstream and prior to the collection filter. Structural characterisation of the samples by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction was performed. Conditions in which clusters contain a reduced number of nanoparticles (around 50) are evidenced. Mean core-shell particle sizes of 15 nm were estimated. Finally, preliminary results on the morphology of iron/iron oxide core-shell nanoparticles as hydrocarbon-based magnetic nanofluids are presented.

Experimental and numerical study of swirling subcooled flow boiling of water in a vertical annulus

In this paper, the effect of making swirling flow inside an annulus on the subcooled boiling heat transfer has been studied and discussed both experimentally and numerically. The Eulerian-Eulerian model and control volume technique have been used for numerical modeling of the problem. The experimental results show that the critical heat flux values are enhanced by making swirling flow. The experimental and numerical results also indicate that by making swirling flow inside the annulus, the subcooled boiling heat transfer coefficients are increased. Moreover, the experimental and numerical values of the boiling heat transfer coefficients show good agreement with each other.

Large negative dispersion in dual-concentric-core photonic crystal fiber with hybrid cladding structure based on complete leaky mode coupling

Considering the optical stability of solution, the sugar-solution is infused into the outer core ring of dual-concentric-core photonic crystal fiber (DCCPCF). The influences of structure parameters and solution concentration on the phase and loss matching are comprehensively analyzed. By choosing the appropriate outer core mode to completely couple with the inner core fundamental mode, the large negative dispersion PCF around 1.55 μm is designed, which has the dispersion value of − 39,500 ps/km/nm as well as bandwidth of 7.4 nm and effective mode area of 28.3 μm². The designed PCF with hybrid cladding structure can effectively compensate the positive dispersion of conventional single mode fiber, and suppress the system perturbation caused by a series of nonlinear effects. Considering the mode field mismatching between the DCCPCF and the tapered fiber, the calculated connection loss around 1.55 μm is below 3 dB. In addition, the equivalent propagation constants of two leaky modes are deduced from the coupled-mode theory, and the complete mode coupling case can be well predicted by comparing the real and imaginary parts of propagation constants.

Oxide nanoparticles in an Al-alloyed oxide dispersion strengthened steel: crystallographic structure and interface with ferrite matrix

Abstract

Oxide nanoparticles are quintessential for ensuring the extraordinary properties of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels. In this study, the crystallographic structure of oxide nanoparticles, and their interface with the ferritic steel matrix in an Al-alloyed ODS steel, i.e. PM2000, were systematically investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The majority of oxide nanoparticles were identified to be orthorhombic YAlO₃. During hot consolidation and extrusion, they develop a coherent interface and a near cuboid-on-cube orientation relationship with the ferrite matrix in the material. After annealing at 1200 °C for 1 h, however, the orientation relationship between the oxide nanoparticles and the matrix becomes arbitrary, and their interface mostly incoherent. Annealing at 1300 °C leads to considerable coarsening of oxide nanoparticles, and a new orientation relationship of pseudo-cube-on-cube between oxide nanoparticles and ferrite matrix develops. The reason for the developing interfaces and orientation relationships between oxide nanoparticles and ferrite matrix under different conditions is discussed.

The surface plasmon polariton dispersion relations in a nonlinear-metal-nonlinear dielectric structure of arbitrary nonlinearity

The analytic surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs) dispersion relation is studied in a system consisting of a thin metallic film bounded by two sides media of nonlinear dielectric of arbitrary nonlinearity is studied by applying a generalised first integral approach.We consider both asymmetric and symmetric structures.Especially,in the symmetric system,two possible modes can exist:the odd mode and the even mode.The dispersion relations of the two modes are obtained.Due to the nonlinear dielectric,the magnitude of the electric field at the interface appears and alters the dispersion relations.The changes in SPPs dispersion relations depending on film thicknesses and nonlinearity are studied.     

The role of surface terminations on the band structure and optical properties of silicon nanonets

The ab initio calculations are carried out to investigate the effect of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen terminations on the properties of the band edge and the values of the band-gap, as well as the oscillator strength of the silicon nanonets (SiNNs). The oxygen functional groups are found to effectively preserve the direct band-gap nature of the SiNNs, and even change the luminescence properties of the silicon nanowires (SiNWs) to the direct band-gap transition. The appreciable oscillator strength of the first direct transition is obtained for the oxygen terminated nanostructure. The study on the electronic states indicates that the variation of the band edge caused by the surface terminations is attributed to the change of the state compositions. These surface modifications are thought to be useful for silicon band-gap engineering in the area of optoelectronics.

Born-Oppenheimer breakdown effects and hyperfine structure in the rotational spectra of SbF and SbCl

Pure rotational spectra have been measured for the ground electronic states of SbF and SbCl. The molecules were prepared by laser ablation of Sb metal in the presence of SF₆ or Cl₂, respectively. Their spectra were measured with a cavity pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. Although both molecules have two unpaired electrons, they are subject to Hund’s coupling case (c), and have X₁0⁺ ground states. The spectra have been interpreted with the formalism of ¹Σ⁺ molecules. For both molecules spectra of several isotopomers have been measured in the ground and first excited vibrational states. Large hyperfine splittings attributable to both nuclear quadrupole coupling and nuclear spin-rotation coupling have been observed. A Dunham-type analysis has produced unusually large Born-Oppenheimer breakdown parameters, which are interpreted in terms of the electronic structures of the molecules.     

The classical and quantum mechanics of a particle on a knot

A free particle is constrained to move on a knot obtained by winding around a putative torus. The classical equations of motion for this system are solved in a closed form. The exact energy eigenspectrum, in the thin torus limit, is obtained by mapping the time-independent Schrödinger equation to the Mathieu equation. In the general case, the eigenvalue problem is described by the Hill equation. Finite-thickness corrections are incorporated perturbatively by truncating the Hill equation. Comparisons and contrasts between this problem and the well-studied problem of a particle on a circle (planar rigid rotor) are performed throughout.     

Relativistic effects on complexity indexes in atoms in position and momentum spaces

Three different statistical measures of complexity are explored for the atoms He to Ra. The measures are analysed in both position and momentum spaces. Relativistic effects on the complexity indexes are systematically studied. These effects are discussed in terms of the information content factor and the disorder terms of the complexity indexes. Relativistic and non-relativistic complexity indexes are calculated from Optimized Effective Potential densities.
