Validation of a CIP-based tank for numerical simulation of free surface flows

A constrained interpolation profile CIP-based numerical tank is developed to simulate violent free surface flows.The numerical simulation is performed by the CIP-based Cartesian grid method,which is described in the present paper.The tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing(THINC) scheme is applied for capturing complex free surfaces.The new model is capable of simulating a flow with violently varied free surface.A series of computations are conducted to assess the developed algorithm and its versatility.These tests include the collapse of water column with and without an obstacle,sloshing in a fixed tank,the generation of regular waves in a tank,the generation of extreme waves in a tank.Excellent agreements are obtained when numerical results are compared with available analytical,experimental,and other numerical results.

充液矩形贮箱弹性箱底板应力与变形分析

基于相容拉格朗日-欧拉法,通过对流场与弹性固体间流固耦合作用的分析,得到了矩形贮箱弹性底板流固耦合系统的自由振动微分方程。将伯努利方程与外加激励条件、速度势函数耦合到自由振动方程中,采用迦辽金积分法,给出了矩形贮箱在流体作用下的应力与变形的解析解。讨论了弹性底板的抗弯刚度、结构尺寸、底板材料参数及流体深度等因素对底板应力与变形的影响。研究结果表明:在液体晃动非线性激励作用下,贮箱底板的应力和变形随着液体深度、板长的增大而增大,随着板厚的减小而增大,且成非线性变化关系;底板的变形及应力与底板的材料常数相关,其中板厚的变化对其变形和应力影响要比板长及液体深度的影响显著得多。本文结果可为工程实际中矩形贮箱的设计提供参考。     

密度不同的颗粒在流体中的沉降特性

采用格子Boltzmann方法(LBM)对雷诺数范围为5≤Re≤12的双颗粒沉降进行了直接数值模拟研究,主要关注颗粒之间的密度差异k对其周期性振动的影响。根据雷诺数颗粒沉降特性可以分成三个阶段,即当Re较小时,颗粒的振动幅度随k的增大而减小,当Re较大时则正好相反,介于两者之间存在一个临界雷诺数,在此雷诺数附近,颗粒的沉降同时具有以上两种特征。同时还研究了两个颗粒的稳定沉降结构以及重颗粒摆脱轻颗粒的条件。     

Separation Impact on a Plate Floating on the Surface of an Ideal Incompressible Fluid in a Bounded Tank

The paper studies the planar problem of separation impact on a plate floating on the surface of an ideal incompressible fluid in a bounded tank. The problem is solved using an asymptotic method under the assumption that the immovable rigid walls of the tank are at a large distance from the plate. It is concluded that the tank walls of arbitrary shape have an ambiguous effect on the fluid particle separation zone formed on the plate surface is revealed. Examples of solutions are given.     

Sedimentation of Brownian Particles in a Gravitational Potential

The settling of a Brownian particle in a semi-infinite fluid bounded by a bottom plane is studied on the basis of Smoluchowski's exact solution of the equation describing diffusion in the gravitational potential. Expressions are derived for the mean height and the variance of height at some time after starting at an initial height. These quantities show interesting behavior as a function of time. It is shown that for certain initial heights the Boltzmann entropy does not increase steadily. It increases at first but then decreases to its equilibrium value.

Distribution and fate of biologically formed organoarsenicals in coastal marine sediment

Marine organisms, including phyto‐ and zoo‐plankton, macroalgae, and animals, concentrate arsenic in various organic forms. However, the distribution and fate of these organoarsenicals in marine environments remains unclear. In this study, the distribution of organoarsenicals in coastal marine sediment in Otsuchi Bay, Japan, has been determined. Methylarsonic acid, dimethylarsinic acid, trimethylarsine oxide, arsenobetaine, arsenocholine and other unidentified arsenic species were detected in marine sediment by high‐performance liquid chromatography–inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis of methanol–water extracts. Arsenobetaine was the dominant organoarsenical at four of the seven stations where tests were carried out, and unidentified species or dimethylarsinic acid dominated at the other stations. Total organoarsenicals (as arsenic) in the surface sediment amounted to 10.6–47.5 µg kg^?1 dry sediment. Core analysis revealed that concentrations of organoarsenicals decreased with depth, and they are considered to be degraded within 60 years of deposition. These results show that organoarsenicals formed by marine organisms are delivered to the sediment and can be degraded within several decades. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Viscoelastic Drag of Particles Settling in Wormlike Micellar Solutions of Varying Surfactant Concentration

Wormlike micellar octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (OTAC) solution is a self-assembled fracturing fluid used to carry proppants into fractures in oil recovery. Slow settling velocity of proppant is desirably resulted from the viscoelastic drag with low viscosity of fracturing fluids for fracturing work. Steel spheres, as a substitute for proppants, fall into three semi-dilute OTAC solutions. The steady rheology demonstrates that OTAC solutions are divided into shear-thickening and shear-thinning regimes by the critical shear rate. The applied steel spheres always lie in the shear-thickening regime of the 2.8 wt% OTAC solution with aggregated micelles as their characteristic shear rates are less than the critical shear rate of the solution. Strong shear-thickening viscous drag results in lower settling velocity of steel spheres. Most of the applied steel spheres, on the other hand, lie in the shear-thinning regime of the 4 wt% OTAC solution with orientated micelles. Although the latter solution has small dissipation coefficient, high Weissenberg number, and consequently high elastic effect, the shear-thinning viscosity results in higher settling velocity of steel spheres.
