Nonlinear vibrations of blade with varying rotating speed

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamic responses of the rotating blade with varying rotating speed under high-temperature supersonic gas flow. The varying rotating speed and centrifugal force are considered during the establishment of the analytical model of the rotating blade. The aerodynamic load is determined using first-order piston theory. The rotating blade is treated as a pretwist, presetting, thin-walled rotating cantilever beam. Using the isotropic constitutive law and Hamilton??s principle, the nonlinear partial differential governing equation of motion is derived for the pretwist, presetting, thin-walled rotating beam. Based on the obtained governing equation of motion, Galerkin??s approach is applied to obtain a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system. From the resulting ordinary equation, the method of multiple scales is exploited to derive the four-dimensional averaged equation for the case of 1:1 internal resonance and primary resonance. Numerical simulations are performed to study the nonlinear dynamic response of the rotating blade. In summary, numerical studies suggest that periodic motions and chaotic motions exist in the nonlinear vibrations of the rotating blade with varying speed.

Real-time response of a rotating disk using image-derotated holographic interferometry

A recently developed technique that shows great promise for studying the structural response of rotating objects is that of image-derotated holographic interferometry. The technique consists of optically subtracting the rotational motion of a disk by passing the image of the rotating disk through a prism that is rotating at half the disk's angular velocity. Heretofore, a pulsed ruby laser had to be used to record the rotating object's out-of-plane modes of vibration. This study reports on the extension of the technique to the real-time analysis of rotating objects by replacing the pulsed ruby laser with an acousto-optically modulated argon laser. Using the strobed argon laser in conjunction with the optical derotator, the rotating disk's normal displacement can be observed as it is being excited in real-time. This technique offers the distinct advantage of being able to observe the rotating disk's structural response over a wide range of pulse frequencies at any point in the disk's cycle of revolution.

Experimental study of heat and mass transfer of a rolling wheel

Heat transfer characteristics of a rolling wheel are investigated by using the naphthalene sublimation technique. The local and average Nusselt numbers are obtained. The results reveal that the local and average Nusselt numbers increase with increasing rotating Reynolds number. Under the same rotating Reynolds number they decrease along the radius direction. After comparing with similar available cases reported, it is found that the results are very close to the results of rotating disk in crossflow under the condition that rotating Reynolds number is equal the main flow Reynolds number.

Dynamic response of a rotating disk submerged and confined. Influence of the axial gap

In this paper, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a rotating disk submerged and totally confined inside a rigid casing, have been obtained. These have been calculated analytically, numerically and experimentally for different axial gaps disk-casing. A simplified analytical model to analyse the dynamic response of a rotating disk submerged and confined, that has been used and validated in previous researches, is used in this case, generalised for arbitrary axial gaps disk-casing. To use this model, it is necessary to know the averaged rotating speed of the flow with respect to the disk. This parameter is obtained after an analytical discussion of the motion of the flow inside the casing where the disk rotates, and by means of CFD simulations for different axial positions of the disk. The natural frequencies of the rotating disk for the different axial confinements can be calculated following this method. A Finite Element Model has been built up to obtain the natural frequencies by means of computational simulation. The relative velocity of the flow with respect to the disk is also introduced in the simulation model in order to estimate the natural frequencies of the rotating disk. Experimental tests have been performed with a rotating disk test rig. A thin stainless steel disk (thickness of 8 mm, (h/r<5%) and mass of 7.6 kg) rotates inside a rigid casing. The position of the disk can be adjusted at several axial gaps disk-casing. A piezoelectric patch (PZT) attached on the rotating disk is used to excite the structure. Several miniature and submergible accelerometers have measured the response from the rotating frame. Excitation and measured signals are transmitted from the rotating to the stationary frame through a slip ring system. Experimental results are contrasted with the results obtained by the analytical and numerical model. Thereby, the influence of the axial gap disk-casing on the natural frequencies of a rotating disk totally confined and surrounded by a heavy fluid is determined.     

Shapes of a rotating rheonomic rod

The case of a rotating fluid mass is one of the classical fields of mechanics [1]. In particular, the solution of creep problems for a rotating mass is actual in geophysics in connection with Earth gravity force simulation on rotating samples under laboratory conditions [2]. A special case of a rheonomic rod in a potential field was studied in [3], where it was shown that the main problem about the rod shapes is the problem of determining the relations between the Lagrangian and Euler coordinates in the creep process.In what follows, we show how this problem can be solved for a rotating rod.     

Investigation on convective heat transfer over a rotating disk with discrete pins

A three-dimensional numerical study on the flow and heat transfer characteristics over a rotating disk surface with discrete pins was conducted by the use of RNG k–ε turbulent model. And some experiments were also made for validation. The effects of rotating angular speed and pin configuration on the temperature maps and convective heat transfer characteristics on the rotating surface were analyzed. As the increase of rotating velocity, the impingement of pumping jet on the centre of rotating disk becomes stronger and the transition from laminar to turbulent occurs at the outer radius of rotating disk, which resulting in heat transfer enhancement. The pins on the disk make the pumping action of a rotating disk weaker. Simultaneously, they also act as perturbing elements to the cyclone flow near the rotating disk surface, making the overall heat transfer to be enhanced. The needle pins have higher convective heat transfer capacity than the discrete ring pins with the same extend pin areas.

Effect of rotation on frequency characteristics of a truncated circular conical shell

In the current dynamic model of rotating truncated conical shells, the expressions of centrifugal and coriolis accelerations and initial hoop tension were incomplete and some terms were missing. This might cause the frequency characteristics of rotating conical shells to be overestimated (or underestimated). Therefore, the effects of rotation upon frequency characteristics of rotating truncated conical shell are studied in the paper. Accurate expressions of centrifugal and coriolis accelerations and initial hoop tension are derived, and then a modified dynamic model for the rotating truncated conical shell is presented. The generalized differential quadrature method is utilized to obtain the natural frequencies. The influences of various boundary conditions and rotating speed on the free vibration of the conical shell are discussed in detail. Through comparison analysis, the errors in current model are also pointed out.     

Holographic vibration study of a rotating propeller blade

Holographic interferometry has often been used to determine the natural frequencies and the associated mode patterns of vibrating objects with rigidly fixed or stationary boundaries. This paper describes a new pulse-laser holographic technique whereby the vibration-mode patterns of a rotating propeller blade were determined. This technique consists of rotating the holographic plate on the same axis as the rotating object and using spherically symmetric wavefronts for object and reference beams.     

Entropy generation of radial rotation convective channels

The exchange of heat between two fluids is established by radial rotating pipe or a channel. The hotter fluid flows through the pipe, while the cold fluid is ambient air. Total length of pipe is made up of multiple sections of different shape and position in relation to the common axis of rotation. In such heat exchanger the hydraulic and thermal irreversibility of the hotter and colder fluid occur. Therefore, the total entropy generated within the radial rotating pipe consists of the total entropy of hotter and colder fluid, taking into account all the hydraulic and thermal irreversibility of both fluids. Finding a mathematical model of the total generated entropy is based on coupled mathematical expressions that combine hydraulic and thermal effects of both fluids with the complex geometry of the radial rotating pipe. Mathematical model follows the each section of the pipe and establishes the function between the sections, so the total generated entropy is different from section to section of the pipe. In one section of the pipe thermal irreversibility may dominate over the hydraulic irreversibility, while in another section of the pipe the situation may be reverse. In this paper, continuous analytic functions that connect sections of pipe in geometric meaning are associated with functions that describe the thermo-hydraulic effects of hotter and colder fluid. In this way, the total generated entropy of the radial rotating pipe is a continuous analytic function of any complex geometry of the rotating pipe. The above method of establishing a relationship between the continuous function of entropy with the complex geometry of the rotating pipe enables indirect monitoring of unnecessary hydraulic and thermal losses of both fluids. Therefore, continuous analytic functions of generated entropy enable analysis of hydraulic and thermal irreversibility of individual sections of pipe, as well as the possibility of improving the thermal–hydraulic performance of the rotating pipe consisting of n sections. Analytical modeling enabled establishing of a mathematical model of the total generated entropy in a radial rotating pipe, while the generated entropy of models with radial rotating pipe were determined by experimental testing, with comparisons of the achieved results.     

Effect of system rotating on turbulent boundary layer flow

This paper experimentally investigated the effect of rotating on the turbulent boundary layer flow using hot-wire. The experiments were completed in a rotating rig with a vertical axis and four measured positions along the streamwise direction in channel, which focuses on the flow flied in the rotating channel. The rotating effects on velocity profile, wall shear stress and semi-logarithmic mean velocity profile are discussed in this paper. The results indicated that: due to the Coriolis force induced by rotating, the phenomenon of velocity deficit happens near the leading side. The velocity deficit near the leading side, do not increase monotonically with the increase of Ro. The trend of the velocity deficit near the leading side is also affected by the normal component of pressure gradient, which is another important force in the cross-section of the rotating channel. The wall shear stress near the trailing side is larger than that on the leading side, and the semi-logarithmic mean velocity profile is also different under rotating effects. The phenomenon reveals that the effect of rotation penetrates into the logarithm region, and the flow near the leading side tends to turn into laminar under the effect of rotation. The rotation correction of logarithmic law is performed in current work, which can be used in the wall function of CFD to increase the simulating accuracy at rotating conditions.     

Equations of motion of rotating composite beam with a nonconstant rotation speed and an arbitrary preset angle

In the presented paper the equations of motion of a rotating composite Timoshenko beam are derived by utilising the Hamilton principle. The non-classical effects like material anisotropy, transverse shear and both primary and secondary cross-section warpings are taken into account in the analysis. As an extension of the other papers known to the authors a nonconstant rotating speed and an arbitrary beam’s preset (pitch) angle are considered. It is shown that the resulting general equations of motion are coupled together and form a nonlinear system of PDEs. Two cases of an open and closed box-beam cross-section made of symmetric laminate are analysed in details. It is shown that considering different pitch angles there is a strong effect in coupling of flapwise bending with chordwise bending motions due to a centrifugal force. Moreover, a consequence of terms related to nonconstant rotating speed is presented. Therefore it is shown that both the variable rotating speed and nonzero pitch angle have significant impact on systems dynamics and need to be considered in modelling of rotating beams.     

Numerical Investigation of the Flow Past a Rotating Golf Ball and Its Comparison with a Rotating Smooth Sphere

Large-eddy simulations are conducted for a rotating golf ball and a rotating smooth sphere at a constant rotational speed at the subcritical, critical and supercritical Reynolds numbers. A negative lift force is generated in the critical regime for both models, whereas positive lift forces are generated in the subcritical and supercritical regimes. Detailed analysis on the flow separations on different sides of the models reveals the mechanism of the negative Magnus effect. Further investigation of the unsteady aerodynamics reveals the effect of rotating motion on the development of lateral forces and wake flow structures. It is found that the rotating motion helps to stabilize the resultant lateral forces for both models especially in the supercritical regime.     

Second-moment closure modelling of turbulence in a non-inertial frame

This article investigates the performance of second-moment closures in a rotating reference frame and presents a new closure for the rapid pressure-strain rate correlation based on the recently developed materially frame indifference principle. It is observed here that the existing second-moment closures with appropriate near-wall treatment can adequately predict flows in a rotating channel and in an axially rotating pipe for moderate rotation rate. Analysis of the newly proposed model indicates that it is capable of reflecting flow features under strong rotation.     

Development of a computer program for the prediction of flow in a rotating cavity

A computer program has been developed to predict laminar source-sink flow in a rotating cylindrical cavity. Although the program is based on a standard finite difference technique for recirculating flow, it incorporates two novel features. Step changes in grid size are employed to obtain sufficient resolution in the boundary layers and special treatment is given to the solution of the pressure correction equations, in the ‘SIMPLE’ algorithm, in order to improve the convergence properties of the method. Results are presented both for the flow in an infinite rotating cylindrical annulus and a finite rotating cylindrical cavity, with the inner cylindrical surface acting as a uniform source and the outer cylinder as a sink. These show good agreement with existing analytical solutions and illustrate some of the problems associated with the computation of rapidly rotating flows.
