This paper depicts a ghost cell method to solve the three dimensional compressible time-dependent Euler equations using Cartesian grids for static or moving bodies. In this method, there is no need for special treatment corresponding to cut cells, which complicate other Cartesian mesh methods, and the method avoids the small cell problem. As an application, we present some numerical results for a special moving body using this method, which demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed method.

The pressure pulsations in the vaneless space of pump-turbines are extremely intense and always experience rapid time variations during transient scenarios, causing structural vibrations and even more serious accidents. In this study, the mechanism behind the rapid time variations of the vaneless space pressure pulsations in a model pump-turbine during runaway was analyzed through three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations. These results show that the high-frequency pressure pulsation components originating from rotor–stator interactions (RSI) are dominant during the whole process. These components fluctuate significantly in frequency when the working point goes through the S-shaped region of the characteristic curve, with the amplitudes increasing. Meanwhile, some low-frequency pulsations are also enhanced and become obvious. These features can be attributed to the transitions of the inter blade vortex structures (IBVSs) to the forward flow vortex structures (FFVSs) and the back flow vortex structures (BFVSs) at the impeller entrance, when the pump-turbine operates in the region with S-shaped characteristics. The FFVSs mainly cause decreases in frequency and introduce low-frequency pulsations, while the BFVSs are responsible for the unstable fluctuations. These findings contribute to the understanding of how transient flow patterns evolve and may provide new ideas about avoiding severe pressure pulsations caused by rotating stalls in the pump-turbine during transient scenarios.

A turbulent three-dimensional wall jet with an exit Reynolds number of 250,000 was investigated using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV) in the near-field region (x/D = 5). The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) was applied to all three components of the velocity field to investigate the underlying coherent structures in the flow. A low-dimensional reconstruction of the turbulent velocity field using the first five POD modes showed the presence of coherent streamwise vortex structures formed in the outer shear-layers of the wall jet, not unlike those found in the near-field of free jets. The instantaneous streamwise vorticity reconstructed from the low-dimensional reconstructed velocity field indicates the presence of a persistent vortex pair close to the wall and on either side of the jet centerline that appear similar to the mean streamwise vorticity. These regions do not appear to be directly related to the positioning of the streamwise vortex structures in the outer shear-layer.
