The effects of unsteady flow characteristics on solid-liquid two-phase flow and pump performance were researched under design condition. The results show that clocking effect has a significant influence on the flow in pump, and the fluctuation of flow velocity and pressure is obvious, particularly near the volute tongue, at the position of small sections of volute and within diffuser. Clocking effect has a more influence on liquid-phase than on solid-phase, and the wake-jet structure of relative velocity of solid-phase is less obvious than liquid-phase near the volute tongue and the impeller passage outlet. The fluctuation of relative velocity of solid-phase flow is 7.6% smaller than liquid-phase flow at the impeller outlet on circular path. Head and radial forces of the impeller are 8.1% and 85.7% of fluctuation, respectively. The results provide a theoretical basis for further research for turbulence, improving efficient, reducing the hydraulic losses and wear. Finally, field tests were carried out to verify the operation and wear of slurry pump.展开更多

The measurement data of the ERT are treated as a multivariate time-series, thus the information extracted from each electrode represents the local phase distribution and fraction change at that location. The multivariate maximum Lyapunov exponent(MMLE) is extracted from the 16-dimension time-series to demonstrate the change of flow pattern versus the superficial velocity ratio of oil to water. The correlation dimension of the multivariate time-series is further introduced to jointly characterize and finally separate the flow patterns with MMLE. The change of flow patterns with superficial oil velocity at different water superficial velocities is studied with MMLE and correlation dimension, respectively, and the flow pattern transition can also be characterized with these two features. The proposed MMLE and correlation dimension map could effectively separate the flow patterns, thus is an effective tool for flow pattern identification and transition analysis.展开更多

Conventional reservoir simulation methods for fluid flow simulation in large and complex reservoirs are very costly and time consuming. In streamline method, transport equations are solved on one-dimensional streamlines to reduce the computation time with less memory for simulation. First, pressure equation is solved on an Eulerian grid and streamlines are traced. Defining the "time of flight", saturation equations are mapped and solved on streamlines. Finally, the results are mapped back on Eulerian grid and the process is repeated until the simulation end time. The waterflooding process is considered in a fractured reservoir using the dual porosity model. Afterwards, a computational code is developed to solve the same problem by the IMPES method and the results of streamline simulation are compared to those of the IMPES and a commercial software. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of streamline simulator for simulation of two-phase flow in fractured reservoirs has been proved.展开更多

A comprehensive monitoring of pore pressure and flow rate distributions inside the rock mass is very important to elucidate the permeability evolution mechanisms, which is difficult to realize in laboratory, but easy to be achieved in numerical simulations. Therefore, the particle flow code （PFC）, a discrete element method, is used to simulate permeability behaviors of rock materials in this study. Owe to the limitation of the existed solid-fluid coupling algorithm in PFC, an improved flow-coupling algorithm is presented to better reflect the preferential flow in rock fractures. The comparative analysis is conducted between original and improved algorithm when simulating rock permeability evolution during triaxial compression, showing that the improved algorithm can better describe the experimental phenomenon. Furthermore, the evolution of pore pressure and flow rate distribution during the flow process are analyzed by using the improved algorithm. It is concluded that during the steady flow process in the fractured specimen, the pore pressure and flow rate both prefer transmitting through the fractures rather than rock matrix. Based on the results, fractures are divided into the following three types： I） fractures link to both the inlet and outlet, II） fractures only link to the inlet, and III） fractures only link to the outlet. The type I fracture is always the preferential propagating path for both the pore pressure and flow rate. For type II fractures, the pore pressure increases and then becomes steady. However, the flow rate increases first and begins to decrease after the flow reaches the stop end of the fracture and finally vanishes. There is no obvious pore pressure or flow rate concentration within type III fractures.展开更多

To obtain this information, an efficient bubble profile reconstruction method based on an improved agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The reconstruction method is featured by the implementations of a binary space division preprocessing, which aims to reduce the computational complexity, an adaptive linkage criterion, which guarantees the applicability of the AHC algorithm when dealing with datasets involving either non-uniform or distorted grids, and a stepwise execution strategy, which enables the separation of attached bubbles. To illustrate and verify this method, it was applied to dealing with 3 datasets, 2 of them with pre-specified spherical bubbles and the other obtained by a surface-resolved CFD simulation. Application results indicate that the proposed method is effective even when the data include some non-uniform and distortion.展开更多

Silt mean diameter 0.005 mm and silt concentration 1.0% were adopted in numerical simulations. Cavitation flow in a flat- nosed cylinder was simulated to validate the designed algorithm. Cavitaton flows of water and silt-laden water were simulated and compared. The results indicate that the silt particles promote the evolution of cavitation. At the outlet pressure of 6.0×10^5 Pa, cavitation bubbles do not exist in the water flow, but a few cavitation bubbles appeare in the silt-laden water flow, demonstrating the silt particles induce the formation of cavitation bubbles. At the outlet pressure of 5.29×10^5 Pa, the vapor volume fraction in the silt-laden water flow is much larger than that in the water flow, indicating that the silt particles enhance the evolution of cavitation. The properties of silt particle, static pressure, flow field structure, turbulent kinetic energy and density difference have a close relationship with the evolution of cavitation.展开更多

The relationship between the diameter of the misted droplets and the spray pressure was determined. Based on the theory of the relative velocity,the two-phase flow mode of the spray chamber and the efficiency equation for heat and moisture exchange were established. Corrections were carried out for the efficiency equation with spray pressure of 157 kPa. The results show that the pressure plays an important part in determining the efficiency of heat and moisture exchange. When the spray pressure is less than 157 kPa,better coincidence is noticed between the theoretical analysis and the test results with the error less than 6%. Greater error will be resulted in the case when the spray pressure is beyond 157 kPa. After the correction treatment,the coincidence between the theoretical and the experimental results is greatly improved.展开更多

The numerical results of the preliminary scheme show that sediment deposition occurs in the forebay of pumping station because of poor flow pattern therein. In order to improve hydraulic configuration in the forebay,one modified measure reconstructs water diversion weir shape,and another measure sets a water retaining sill in the approach channel. The simulation results of the modified scheme prove that back flow in the forebay has been eliminated and the sediment deposition region has also been reduced.展开更多

The EI-Batsh deposition model was used to predict the particle deposition characteristics. The results show that the console hole has an obvious advantage in reducing particle deposition in comparison with cylindrical hole, especially under higher blowing ratio. The coolant jet from console holes can cover the wall well. Furthermore, the rotation direction of vortices near console hole is contrary to that near cylindrical hole. For console holes, particle deposition mainly takes place in the upstream area of the holes.展开更多

In FSW the welded components are joined by stirring the plasticized material of the welded edges with a special rotating pin plunged into the material and moving along the joint line. From the scientific point of view,the key role of the FSW processes belongs to formation of the special plasticized conditions and activation of physical mechanisms of mixing the materials in such conditions to produce the strong homogeneous weld. But it is still a lack of complete understanding of what are these conditions and mechanisms.This paper is devoted to understanding the mechanisms of material mixing in conditions of FSW based on a computer simulation using particles. The movable cellular automaton method(MCA), which is a representative of the particle methods in mechanics of materials, was used to perform all computations.Usually, material flow including material stirring in FSW is simulated using computational fluid mechanics or smoothed particle hydrodynamics, which assume that the material is a continuum and does not take into account the material structure. MCA considers a material as an ensemble of bonded particles. Breaking of inter-particle bonds and formation of new bonds enables simulation of crack nucleation and healing, as well as mass mixing and micro-welding.The paper consists of two main parts. In the first part, the simulations in 2 D statements are performed to study the dynamics of friction stir welding of duralumin plates and influence of different welding regimes on the features of the material stirring and temperature distribution in the forming welded joints. It is shown that the ratio of the rotational speed to the advancing velocity of the tool has a dramatic effect on the joint quality. A suitable choice of these parameters combined with additional ultrasonic impact could considerably reduce the number of pores and microcracks in the weld without significant overheating of the welded materials.The second part of the paper considers simulation in the 3 D statement. These simulations showed that using tool pins of different shape like a cylinder, cone, or pyramid without a shoulder results in negligible motion of the plasticized material in the direction of workpiece thickness. However, the optimal ratio of the advancing velocity to the rotational speed allows transporting of the stirred material around the tool pin several times and hence producing the joint of good quality.展开更多

文摘Two-phase flow in a horizontal pipe was investigated by using numerical and experimental visualization methods.A horizontal pipe was built for qualitative and quantitative flow visualization.The length of horizontal pipe flow system was 9.5 m and the inner diameter was 51 mm.High-speed video method was used for the qualitative visualization and PIV method was applied for the quantitative visua-lization.The same geometry model was used for the numerical study.Three flow regimes including stratified flow,elongated bubble and slug flow field were generated and visualized by using numerical and experimental methods.The results show that the numerical simulation results are qualitatively si-milar to that of the experimental results.In addition,more quantitative results can be analyzed by numerical method.Development and decay process of slug flow was investigated,showing that the decay of slug heavily depends on the magnitude of nose velocity and its lasting time.It can also be found that the liquid superficial velocity plays a significant role in affecting the slug frequency.When keeping the gas superficial velocity constant,the frequency will increase with the liquid superficial velocity.

文摘Sediment deposition in the pumping station has a huge negative impact on unit operation.The three-dimensional CFD method has been used to simulate inlet structure flow in pumping station based on the Eulerian solid- liquid two-phase flow model. The numerical results of the preliminary scheme show that sediment deposition occurs in the forebay of pumping station because of poor flow pattern therein. In order to improve hydraulic configuration in the forebay,one modified measure reconstructs water diversion weir shape,and another measure sets a water retaining sill in the approach channel. The simulation results of the modified scheme prove that back flow in the forebay has been eliminated and the sediment deposition region has also been reduced.

文摘Numerical research on the dilute particles movement and deposition characteristics in the vicinity of converging slot-hole(console) was carried out, and the effect of hole shape on the particle deposition characteristics was investigated. The EI-Batsh deposition model was used to predict the particle deposition characteristics. The results show that the console hole has an obvious advantage in reducing particle deposition in comparison with cylindrical hole, especially under higher blowing ratio. The coolant jet from console holes can cover the wall well. Furthermore, the rotation direction of vortices near console hole is contrary to that near cylindrical hole. For console holes, particle deposition mainly takes place in the upstream area of the holes.

文摘Friction stir welding(FSW) is a novel technique for joining different materials without melting. In FSW the welded components are joined by stirring the plasticized material of the welded edges with a special rotating pin plunged into the material and moving along the joint line. From the scientific point of view,the key role of the FSW processes belongs to formation of the special plasticized conditions and activation of physical mechanisms of mixing the materials in such conditions to produce the strong homogeneous weld. But it is still a lack of complete understanding of what are these conditions and mechanisms.This paper is devoted to understanding the mechanisms of material mixing in conditions of FSW based on a computer simulation using particles. The movable cellular automaton method(MCA), which is a representative of the particle methods in mechanics of materials, was used to perform all computations.Usually, material flow including material stirring in FSW is simulated using computational fluid mechanics or smoothed particle hydrodynamics, which assume that the material is a continuum and does not take into account the material structure. MCA considers a material as an ensemble of bonded particles. Breaking of inter-particle bonds and formation of new bonds enables simulation of crack nucleation and healing, as well as mass mixing and micro-welding.The paper consists of two main parts. In the first part, the simulations in 2 D statements are performed to study the dynamics of friction stir welding of duralumin plates and influence of different welding regimes on the features of the material stirring and temperature distribution in the forming welded joints. It is shown that the ratio of the rotational speed to the advancing velocity of the tool has a dramatic effect on the joint quality. A suitable choice of these parameters combined with additional ultrasonic impact could considerably reduce the number of pores and microcracks in the weld without significant overheating of the welded materials.The second part of the paper considers simulation in the 3 D statement. These simulations showed that using tool pins of different shape like a cylinder, cone, or pyramid without a shoulder results in negligible motion of the plasticized material in the direction of workpiece thickness. However, the optimal ratio of the advancing velocity to the rotational speed allows transporting of the stirred material around the tool pin several times and hence producing the joint of good quality.
