Lifting of Disperse Particles from a Cavity Behind the Front of an Unsteady Shock Wave with a Triangular Velocity Profile

The gas flow in plane shock waves slipping along an impermeable surface with a rectangular cavity where solid disperse particles are suspended is considered numerically. The motion of the gas and particles (gas suspension) is modeled by equations of mechanics of multiphase media. Some laws of the behavior of the dusty cloud in the cavity are established for the case of wave interaction with the cavity.     

An experimental investigation of hypervelocity flow in a conical nozzle

The flow in a conical nozzle is examined experimentally for a range of hypervelocity conditions in a free-piston shock tunnel. The pitot pressure levels compare reasonably well with an inviscid numerical prediction which includes a correction for the growth of the nozzle wall boundary layer. The size of the nozzle wall boundary layer seems to be well predicted by semi-empirical expressions developed for perfect gas flows, as do data from other free-piston shock tunnels.     

Investigation of a Gas Flow with Solid Particles in a Supersonic Nozzle

A two-phase flow with high Reynolds numbers in the subsonic, transonic, and supersonic parts of the nozzle is considered within the framework of the Prandtl model, i.e., the flow is divided into an inviscid core and a thin boundary layer. Mutual influence of the gas and solid particles is taken into account. The Euler equations are solved for the gas in the flow core, and the boundary-layer equations are used in the near-wall region. The particle motion in the inviscid region is described by the Lagrangian approach, and trajectories and temperatures of particle packets are tracked. The behavior of particles in the boundary layer is described by the Euler equations for volume-averaged parameters of particles. The computed particle-velocity distributions are compared with experiments in a plane nozzle. It is noted that particles inserted in the subsonic part of the nozzle are focused at the nozzle centerline, which leads to substantial flow deceleration in the supersonic part of the nozzle. The effect of various boundary conditions for the flow of particles in the inviscid region is considered. For an axisymmetric nozzle, the influence of the contour of the subsonic part of the nozzle, the loading ratio, and the particle diameter on the particle-flow parameters in the inviscid region and in the boundary layer is studied. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 6, pp. 65–77, November–December, 2005.     

Wave pattern characteristics of a two-phase nozzle flow by shock propagation

In this paper, the wave pattern characteristics of shock-induced two-phase nozzle flows with the quiescent or moving dusty gas ahead of the incident-shock front has been investigated by using high-resolution numerical method. As compared with the corresponding results in single-phase nozzle flows of the pure gas, obvious differences between these two kinds of flows can be obtained.

Numerical calculations for two-phase jet flow of a mixture of pulverized-coal and gas

In this paper, Euler-Lagrange type equations are used to describe the jet flow of a mixture of pulverized-coal and gas, which is an unsteady axisymmetric two-phase flow. By means of the finite-difference method, the coal particle's distribution, velocity and trajectory in the flow field are obtained. The coal particles are represented by a finite number of computational particles. Each particle's diameter is randomly assigned according to a given distribution. The states of the computational particles are different from each other. Turbulence is accounted for in a stochastic model. Explicit time-splitting scheme is used to calculate the strongly coupling interphase term. The numerical results are reasonable. The comparison between the numerical results and the experiment data for the case of the oil droplet injection shows good agreement. This numerical technique can be extended to the calculation of other two-phase flows of dilute particles or a droplet system. Mr. Mei Renwei also participated in the work of this paper.

Improvement of a free piston driver for a high-enthalpy shock tunnel

In order to improve the operation of a high-enthalpy free piston shock tunnel its tuned operation was studied analytically and experimentally. First, the piston motion in the free piston driver tube was analytically solved by proposing a simple piston/gasdynamic model, and the tuned operation condition was formulated as an eigenvalue with which the piston has sufficiently high speed at the moment of diaphragm rupture, so as to maintain a constant driver gas pressure, and reduces its speed to come to rest when very closely approaching the end of the driver tube. Second, the result of this analysis was validated by its comparison with experiments which were conducted in the medium-sized free piston shock tunnel HEK installed at the NAL Kakuda Research Center. By observing the detail of piston landing at the end of the driver tube the present tuned operation was found to be successfully achieved with the operating condition given here. Its advantages in improving the pressure recovery factor and in enhancing the stagnation enthalpy were successfully demonstrated. Received 8 June 1997 / Accepted 1 October 1997     

Numerical modeling of 3-D turbulent two-phase flow and coal combustion in a pulverized-coal combustor

In the present paper, a multifluid model of two-phase flows with pulverized-coal combustion, based on a continuum-trajectory model with reacting particle phase, is developed and employed to simulate the 3-D turbulent two-phase flows and combustion in a new type of pulverized-coal combustor with one primary-air jet placed along the wall of the combustor. The results show that: (1) this continuum-trajectory model with reacting particle phase can be used in practical engineering to qualitatively predict the flame stability, concentrations of gas species, possibilities of slag formation and soot deposition, etc.; (2) large recirculation zones can be created in the combustor, which is favorable to the ignition and flame stabilization.

Laminar-turbulent transition in the boundary layer on cones in a hypersonic flow at high Reynolds numbers per meter

The laminar-turbulent transition is experimentally studied in boundary-layer flows on cones with a rectangular axisymmetric step in the base part of the cone and without the step. The experiments are performed in an A-1 two-step piston-driven gas-dynamic facility with adiabatic compression of the working gas with Mach numbers at the nozzle exit M _∞ = 12–14 and pressures in the settling chamber P₀ = 60–600 MPa. These values of parameters allow obtaining Reynolds numbers per meter near the cone surface equal to Re _1e = (53–200) · 10⁶ m ⁻¹. The transition occurs at Reynolds numbers Re _tr = (2.3–5.7) · 10⁶. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 48, No. 3, pp. 76–83, May–June, 2007.     

Controlling the disturbances in a hypersonic flat-plate shock layer by unsteady action from the surface

The results of a wind-tunnel experiment on the joint action of periodic acoustic fast-mode disturbances of the outer flow and disturbances generated at the leading edge of a plate on the hypersonic (M_∞ = 21) viscous shock layer on the plate are presented. The possibility of positively controlling the intensity of density fluctuations in the plate shock layer by means of disturbances introduced from the leading edge is shown. Direct numerical simulation of the suppression (enhancement) of disturbances under the simultaneous action on the shock layer of the two-dimensional fast-mode acoustic waves in the outer flow and the source of two-dimensional suction/injection disturbances near the leading edge of the plate is performed under the experimental conditions. The experimental and calculated results are shown to be in good agreement.     

Effect of a Dispersed Admixture on the Flow Pattern and Heat Transfer in a Supersonic Dusty-Gas Flow Around a Cylinder

A mathematical model of two-phase (gas-solid particle) flow which takes into account particle-particle collisions and the feedback effect of the admixture on the gas parameters is proposed. The dispersed phase is described by a kinetic equation of the Boltzmann type and the carrier gas by modified Navier-Stokes equations. Using this model, a supersonic uniform dusty-gas flow past a cylinder is calculated. The fields of the macroparameters of the admixture and the carrier medium are obtained. The dependence of the heat transfer at the stagnation point on the relative particle size and the free-stream admixture concentration is studied in detail. The ranges of these parameters on which particle collisions and the feedback effect of the admixture on the carrier-gas flow are important are found.

Rheology of rarefied gas flow in hypersonic shock and boundary layers

Using the Maxwell method, transfer equations describing molecular gas flows in viscous shock and hypersonic boundary layers are obtained. It is shown that, in contrast to the Navier-Stokes approximation, the kinetic model proposed makes it possible correctly to describe hypersonic flow around bodies under conditions of strong nonequilibrium of the internal and translational degrees of freedom of the gas particles.     

Unsteady interaction of shock wave diffracting around a circular cylinder in air

The reflection and diffraction of a planar shock wave around a circular cylinder are a typical problem of the complex nonlinear shock wave phenomena in literature. It has long been studied experimentally, analytically as well as numerically. Takayama in 1987 obtained clear experimental pictures of isopycnics in shock tube under the condition that the impinging shock wave propagates as far as 3 diameters away from the cylinder. To know more completely the whole unsteady process, it is desirable to get experimental results in a region which is more than 10 diameters away from the cylinder. This is what has been done in this paper by using the pulsed laser holographic interferometry for several shock Mach numbers of the impinging shock. Results for several moments are shown, giving more knowledge about the whole unsteady flow field. This is useful for a reliable and complete understanding of the changing force acting on the cylinder, and provides interesting data to check the performance of many recently developed high resolution numerical methods for unsteady shock wave calculation.

Numerical simulation and homogenization of two-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media

A mathematically rigorous method of homogenization is presented and used to analyze the equivalent behavior of transient flow of two incompressible fluids through heterogeneous media. Asymptotic expansions and H-convergence lead to the definition of a global or effective model of an equivalent homogeneous reservoir. Numerical computations to obtain the homogenized coefficients of the entire reservoir have been carried out via a finite element method. Numerical experiments involving the simulation of incompressible two-phase flow have been performed for each heterogeneous medium and for the homogenized medium as well as for other averaging methods. The results of the simulations are compared in terms of the transient saturation contours, production curves, and pressure distributions. Results obtained from the simulations with the homogenization method presented show good agreement with the heterogeneous simulations.
