Decaying Turbulence

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) in two-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence is performed by using the Spectral method at a Reynolds number Re = 1000 on a uniformly distributed grid points. The Reynolds number is low enough that the computational grid is capable of resolving all the possible turbulent scales. The statistical properties in the computed flow field show a good agreement with the qualitative behavior of decaying turbulence. The behavior of the flow structures in the computed flow field also follow the classical idea of the fluid flow in turbulence.

The Impact

Downburst is an outburst strong wind on or near the ground, and its wind field characteristics are significantly different from boundary layer winds. Continuous mountains at different distance are one of the main factors for the influence of downburst wind field characteristic. In this thesis, the changes of the wind field characteristics under the influence of continuous mountains at different distance after the downburst happened are studied by CFD numerical simulation. The impact of downburst is analysed and summarized through the charts.

A large selection of one- and two-dimensional methods can be used to calculate the scroll geometries. This paper examines the consequences of different scroll geometry parameters under various flow configurations, including the influence of components in the scroll flow field. A combination of arrangements of the various components was investigated, (scroll/nozzle/rotor, scroll/nozzle/stator, scroll/vane support/rotor, scroll/vane support/stator), to see how the flow varied. In this particular case a frictionless scroll was designed. The turbine operates with a gas fluid. Using a non-invasive laser two-focus technique and wall pressure drillings the flow field was measured over three scroll cross sections and over its extent at φ = 186° up to φ = 211°. The theoretical analysis was performed on a computer using a commercial 3D finite element programme. Using the programme enables the theoretical flow fields of various scroll geometries to be calculated. The validity of the calculations can be assessed by comparing the theoretical calculations with the above mentioned measurements. The measurements show that by using a rotor the flow field inside the scroll remains uninfluenced by the vane support and nozzle. Measurable differences appear when the rotor is replaced by a stator, these results are confirmed by the computer program. The calculations also show that the scroll geometry has an important effect on the development of the flow field.

Gas Flow Field

The section mutation of a pipe affects the interior flow field seriously. Numerical simulation of the two-dimensional steady gas flow field of two types of section mutation pipe was processed. By comparing it with equivalent section pipe’s interior flow field, the effects of section mutation of pipe on pressure distributing and velocity distributing were analyzed. The results are commendably consistent with the theories of one-dimensional adiabatic frictional pipe flow. Ensuring the section of the compressed gas pipe to be coherent and using the bell and spigot joint if necessary are presented.

Abstract In this article, authors have studied genetic algorithm-based optimization technique to optimize rotor profile for elliptic shaped Savonius-style wind turbine with an aim to maximize the coefficient of performance. Genetic algorithm has been used to optimize design variables having distinct values and discontinuous and nondifferentiable objective functions. Optimization procedure using genetic algorithm uses the following steps: initialization, assessment, assortment, crossover and lastly alteration. Once the genetic algorithm is initialized, then the evaluation process trails, where each parametric value is evaluated based on the fitness function stated as objective function. Then the GA operators i.e assortment, cross over and alteration are applied. At the end of GA operation procedure, a new set of values of design parameter is generated. This procedure is endlessly iterated until the convergence criteria is met. Then the optimized and non-optimized profiles are studied using numerical simulation. Initially a two-dimensional numerical model is developed and validated against experimental results. The two-dimensional analysis is conducted using k-ω shear stress transport model. Unsteady Reynold’s Averaged Navier Stoke’s equations have been solved to simulate the flow field of a Savonius-style rotor. This analysis has been executed using finite volume approach in Fluent 17.2 version. Grid independence study is performed to curtail the effect of grid size on the flow field portrayals. The optimization technique implemented on the Savonius-style wind turbine, generated design parameters that were able to yield a coefficient of performance value of 0.398. The coefficient of torque and coefficient of performance values are studied for both optimized and non-optimized profile as a function of tip speed ratio. Numerical simulation predicted a maximum gain of 41% for coefficient of performance at TSR = 1.0 over for optimized profile over the non-optimized profile.
