The displacement wave theory of blood vessel

On the basis of the medical and mechanical analysis and explanations in this paper the visco-elastic simply supported beam model is proposed to treat the displacement wave of the blood vessels. The relationships between the displacement wave and blood vessel elasticity as well as the viscous dissipation of the blood and blood vessel are obtained. The corresponding relations of such kinds of pulses in the traditional Chinese medicine as smooth pulse, surface pulse and deep pulse to the displacement waves of blood vessels are also found. The computational results are in good agreement with those acquired in the experiments with ultrasonic wave.The Projects Supported by National Science Fundation of China.     

A purely elastic transition in Taylor-Couette flow

Experimental evidence of a non-inertial, cellular instability in the Taylor-Couette flow of a viscoelastic fluid is presented. A linear stability analysis for an Oldroyd-B fluid, which is successful in describing many features of the experimental fluid, predicts the critical Deborah number,De _c , at which the instability is observed. The dependence ofDe _c on the value of the dimensionless gap between the cylinders is also determined.This paper is dedicated to Professor Hanswalter Giesekus on the occasion of his retirement as Editor of Rheologica Acta.     

泥石流研究述评

泥石流这一特殊的二相流体是山区常见的一种自然灾害,一般可分为稀性泥石流(颗粒碰撞及离散力起主导作用)和粘性泥石流(粘性力起主导作用)两大类。本文概略地评述了泥石流的几个问题,即泥石流形成学、分类学、动力学等,指出急需解决的问题有泥石流汇流理论、泥石流阻力规律等。文中还根据近年来的动态和趋向,推断更加深入的理论研究和以数学模型为核心的泥石流流域管理模式将会成为泥石流学科发展的主要方向。      

换热器传热管在静水中的挤压膜阻尼研究

本文通过求解三维Navier-Stokes方程,导出计算挤压膜阻尼的公式,对Mulcahy所提出的模型作了改进,并提出了stokes数的间隙修正因子的概念. 改进后的挤压膜阻尼模型计及管子振幅的影响,在管子振幅很小的情况下,它与Mulcahy提出的模型相似,实际上可把Mulcahy提出的模型看成改进后模型的一个特例. 为了验证改进后的模型,对传热管在空气和静水介质中的阻尼进行了实验研究.结果表明理论计算值与实验测量值符合良好.     

An immersed smoothed point interpolation method (IS‐PIM) for fluid‐structure interaction problems

An immersed smoothed point interpolation method using 3‐node triangular background cells is proposed to solve 2D fluid‐structure interaction problems for solids with large deformation/displacement placed in incompressible viscous fluid. In the framework of immersed‐type method, the governing equations can be decomposed into 3 parts on the basis of the fictitious fluid assumption. The incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations are solved using the semi‐implicit characteristic‐based split scheme, and solids are simulated using the newly developed edge‐based smoothed point interpolation method. The fictitious fluid domain can be used to calculate the coupling force. The numerical results show that immersed smoothed point interpolation method can avoid remeshing for moving solid based on immersed operation and simulate the contact phenomenon without an additional treatment between the solid and the fluid boundary. The influence from information transfer between solid domain and fluid domain on fluid‐structure interaction problems has been investigated. The numerical results show that the proposed interpolation schemes will generally improve the accuracy for simulating both fluid flows and solid structures.     

Constrained moving least‐squares immersed boundary method for fluid‐structure interaction analysis

A numerical method is presented for the analysis of interactions of inviscid and compressible flows with arbitrarily shaped stationary or moving rigid solids. The fluid equations are solved on a fixed rectangular Cartesian grid by using a higher‐order finite difference method based on the fifth‐order WENO scheme. A constrained moving least‐squares sharp interface method is proposed to enforce the Neumann‐type boundary conditions on the fluid‐solid interface by using a penalty term, while the Dirichlet boundary conditions are directly enforced. The solution of the fluid flow and the solid motion equations is advanced in time by staggerly using, respectively, the third‐order Runge‐Kutta and the implicit Newmark integration schemes. The stability and the robustness of the proposed method have been demonstrated by analyzing 5 challenging problems. For these problems, the numerical results have been found to agree well with their analytical and numerical solutions available in the literature. Effects of the support domain size and values assigned to the penalty parameter on the stability and the accuracy of the present method are also discussed.     

Modernization and optimization of a legacy open-source CFD code for high-performance computing architectures

Legacy codes remain a crucial element of today's simulation-based engineering ecosystem due to the extensive validation process and investment in such software. The rapid evolution of high-performance computing architectures necessitates the modernization of these codes. One approach to modernization is a complete overhaul of the code. However, this could require extensive investments, such as rewriting in modern languages, new data constructs, etc., which will necessitate systematic verification and validation to re-establish the credibility of the computational models. The current study advocates using a more incremental approach and is a culmination of several modernization efforts of the legacy code MFIX, which is an open-source computational fluid dynamics code that has evolved over several decades, widely used in multiphase flows and still being developed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory. Two different modernization approaches,‘bottom-up’ and ‘top-down’, are illustrated. Preliminary results show up to 8.5x improvement at the selected kernel level with the first approach, and up to 50% improvement in total simulated time with the latter were achieved for the demonstration cases and target HPC systems employed.     

某调距导管桨系泊工况水力性能和流激直发声预报

采用经验证的计算流体力学方法,对某艏辅推调距导管桨设计螺距和系泊工况螺距的水动力性能进行了有效预报,并对系泊工况装船桨流激噪声进行了分析。系泊工况下,由于导管桨的抽吸作用在导管外壁近壁面区域存在与导管内部流动方向相反的逆向流动,且导管桨尾流场速度梯度分布不均匀、流动紊乱,此时桨叶与导管的推力之比约为1.2∶1。系泊工况船+桨的瞬态流场脉动信息表明,导管桨各部件噪声源强度均表现出从1倍到4倍叶频依次下降的规律,最强幅值集中在桨叶导边和导管内壁;在远场声源级频谱曲线中轴向测点线谱较高峰值位置体现出导管桨进流流场的流动特性。对比分析该艏辅推整体和各部件宽带声源级指向性,可知旋转部件(桨叶、桨榖)对总噪声级的贡献较大,静止部件是径向测点噪声的主要贡献源。
