Analysis of Unsteady Motion with Respect to Noise Sources in a Gas Turbine Combustor: Isothermal Flow Case

In order to evaluate the direct and indirect contributions to the total combustion noise emission, a combustion chamber consisting of a swirl burner and an exit nozzle of Laval-shape, representing a gas turbine combustor, is investigated by means of experiments and large eddy simulation. Focused on the isothermal flow case first and encouraged by a good overall agreement between the LES and the experimental data for the flow field, a first characterisation of the flow with respect to noise sources is performed. To analyse acoustic properties of the flow, time and length scales are evaluated inside the combustor. Furthermore, the evidence for the existence of a precessing vortex core (PVC), typical for configurations with swirl, is revealed. Finally, the effect of the PVC on the flow inside the Laval nozzle is discussed.     

Measurement of bubble size, velocity and concentration in flashing flow behind a sudden constriction

In the present paper the results of investigations in flashing flow behind a sudden constriction in vertical upflow are described. Flow visualization, laser-Doppler and phase-Doppler anemometry have been used to measure local bubble and fluid velocities, local bubble sizes and void fractions. The measurements were performed in the midplane of a two-dimensional channel with a 2:1 stepwise constriction.It was found that bubble nucleation takes place in the recirculation zone immediately behind the constriction, which is the location of the lowest static pressure. These bubbles are transported downstream by the mean flow field, while undergoing further growth. No additional nucleation was observed downstream of the recirculation zone. A periodic, cloudwise behaviour of the bubble formation was found which could be explained by the interaction between the bubble growth and the mean flow field. This interaction results in strong disturbances of the mean flow field, which show up as an increase of the fluctuating bubble velocity by a factor of 3 compared to single-phase measurements in a region of 10 step heights behind the constriction. However, these fluctuations appear more like a periodic change in the mean velocity rather than a higher turbulence level. The measured arithmetic mean bubble diameters rise from approx. 50 μm in the recirculation region to about 70–80 μm 50 step heights downstream. Maximum local bubble number density and void fraction were found to be 160001/cm³ and 0.8%, respectively.

First-Passage Time of Duffing Oscillator under Combined Harmonic and White-Noise Excitations

The first-passage time of Duffing oscillator under combined harmonic andwhite-noise excitations is studied. The equation of motion of the system is firstreduced to a set of averaged Itô stochastic differential equations by using thestochastic averaging method. Then, a backward Kolmogorov equation governing theconditional reliability function and a set of generalized Pontryagin equationsgoverning the conditional moments of first-passage time are established. Finally, theconditional reliability function, and the conditional probability density and momentsof first-passage time are obtained by solving the backward Kolmogorov equation andgeneralized Pontryagin equations with suitable initial and boundary conditions.Numerical results for two resonant cases with several sets of parameter values areobtained and the analytical results are verified by using those from digital simulation.     

Validation of Thermal Equilibrium Assumption in Transient Forced Convection Flow in Porous Channel

The validity of the local thermal equilibrium assumption in the transient forced convection channel flow is investigated analytically. Closed form expressions are presented for the temperatures of the fluid and solid domains and for the criterion which insures the validity of the local thermal equilibrium assumption. It is found that four dimensionless parameters control the local thermal equilibrium assumption. These parameters are the porosity , the volumetric Biot number Bi, the dimensionless channel length _max and the solid to fluid total thermal capacity ratio C _R. The qualitative and quantitative aspects of the effects of these four parameters on the channel thermal equilibrium relaxation time are investigated.     

结构的多机并行分析I——结构的并行有限元方法

本文详细分析和讨论了结构分析的并行有限元方法—并行预处理共轭梯度法(以下简称PPCG法)。着重讨论了基于自带存储器的多处理机系统的并行预处理算法问题,并由此提出了两种PPCG法:PPCG1和PPCG2法。这两种方法适用于以单道剖分(one-way dissection)的子结构法为基础的并行分析。由于这种剖分法产生的结构刚度矩阵具有箭头形状,可独立地消除各子结构的内部自由度,并且不会在刚度矩阵中产生新的非零元素,因此很适合具有较多处理机的并行机系统对复杂结构进行的并行分析。     

An experimental study of flow-induced fiber orientation and concentration distributions in a concentrated suspension flow through a slit channel containing a cylinder

Flow-induced fiber orientation and concentration distributions were measured in a concentrated fiber suspension (CFS) and a dilute one (DFS). The channel has a thin slit geometry containing a circular cylinder. In the previous work, many researchers have qualitatively studied fiber orientation and concentration distributions in injection-molded products of fiber-reinforced plastics. In the present work, however, they are quantitatively estimated by direct observation of fibers in the concentrated suspension flow. For the CFS, some fibers rotate in an expansion part between the channel wall and the circular cylinder, and the fiber orientation becomes almost random state. On the other hand, fibers are perfectly aligned along the flow direction owing to the elongational flow near the centerline downstream of the cylinder. The fiber concentration has a flat distribution except near the channel wall and the centerline. For the DFS a minimum in the fiber concentration distribution was clearly observed on the centerline, and two peaks beside the centerline and near the channel wall. This characteristic distribution is caused by the fiber-wall and fiber-cylinder interactions. It is found that the obstacle such as the circular cylinder in the channel significantly affects the fiber orientation downstream of the obstacle for the CFD, while it affects the fiber concentration distribution for the DFS.
