In this study, the aerodynamics characteristics of HST type CRH380A which is planned to be operated on the new railway of Jakarta-Bandung are analysed using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The speed of the train in this simulation was varied from 100 km/h to a maximum designed speed of 350 km/h with the increment of 30 km/h. The train was modelled in 3D computational domain with more than 1.7 million cells. The turbulence model employed in this study was standard k-ω. The simulation results show that the drag coefficient (CD) is slightly decrease by the increase of speed. At the speed of 100 km/h the CD is 0.216 and decrease to 0.188 at the speed of 350 km/h. The high pressure area is located at the nose of the train. The pressure acting on this location is increase with the increase of the train speed.

Simulation Results

A coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD)/discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate the gas–solid two-phase flow in a laboratory-scale spouted fluidized bed. Transient experimental results in the spouted fluidized bed are obtained in a special test rig using the high-speed imaging technique. The computational domain of the quasi-three-dimensional (3D) spouted fluidized bed is simulated using the commercial CFD flow solver ANSYS-fluent. Hydrodynamic flow field is computed by solving the incompressible continuity and Navier–Stokes equations, while the motion of the solid particles is modeled by the Newtonian equations of motion. Thus, an Eulerian–Lagrangian approach is used to couple the hydrodynamics with the particle dynamics. The bed height, bubble shape, and static pressure are compared between the simulation and the experiment. At the initial stage of fluidization, the simulation results are in a very good agreement with the experimental results; the bed height and the bubble shape are almost identical. However, the bubble diameter and the height of the bed are slightly smaller than in the experimental measurements near the stage of bubble breakup. The simulation results with their experimental validation demonstrate that the CFD/DEM coupled method can be successfully used to simulate the transient gas–solid flow behavior in a fluidized bed which is not possible to simulate accurately using the granular approach of purely Euler simulation. This work should help in gaining deeper insight into the spouted fluidized bed behavior to determine best practices for further modeling and design of the industrial scale fluidized beds.

Key Questions

One of the requirements for existing personal computers, PCs, is that the hardware inside must maintain an operating temperature as low as possible. One way to achieve that is to place the hardware components at locations with enough airflow around it. However, the relationship between the airflow and temperature of the components is unknown before they are placed at specific locations inside a PC. In this work a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is coupled to a Design of Experiment (DOE) methodology to answer typical minitower key questions: a) how do the possible positions of hardware components affect their temperature?, and b) is it possible to get an optimal placement for these hardware components using the data collected by the CFD simulation results? The DOE methodology is used to optimize the analysis for a very large number of possible configurations. The results help in identifying where the efforts need to be placed in order to optimize the positioning of the hardware components for similar configurations at the designing stage. Somehow the results show that general conclusions could be drawn, but that there are not specific rules that could be applied to every configuration.

Deutsche Bahn

This work addresses crosswind stability exemplified for the German Railway Deutsche Bahn AG high-speed train ICE 2. The scope of the work is to describe the flow by means of computational fluid dynamics past the leading two cars of the train for yaw angles in the range 12.2–40.0°. Three track formations are utilized. The basic results are the set of independent aerodynamic coefficients for the lead and subsequent cars. The results are to some extent compared with experimental data for ICE 2 and also with data obtained for the Swedish high-speed train X2000. A numerical sensitivity study is undertaken to quantify differences in the above results dependent on the grid density and quality, turbulence model, numerical scheme, location of inlet and outlet boundaries, turbulence intensity and flow simulation software.

The goals of this study were to investigate the effect of cough-jet on local airflow and contaminant transport in a typical cabin environment by using computational fluid dynamics. A fully occupied airliner cabin section was employed as the computational domain. Contaminants were released through coughing passengers from different locations inside the cabin. Numerical results in terms of contaminant transport characteristics were examined and compared. It can be concluded that cough-jet has significant effects on air flow in front of cough passenger in a short period of time. Also, it was found that, without considering the cough-jet model, the simulation results could not be a precise representation of the transport and distribution of cough-generated airborne contaminants.

Abstract: Spoilers have been there in practice since years for the purpose of improving aerodynamics of a car. The pressure drag created at the end of the vehicle, referred to as wake region affects handling of the vehicle. This could be hazardous for the cars at high speeds. By adding a spoiler to the rear of the car reduces that pressure drag and the enhanced downforce helps in better traction. The paper presents aerodynamic analysis of a spoiler through Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis. The spoiler is designed using Onshape software and analyzed through SIMSCALE software. The simulation is carried out by changing angles of attack and velocities. The simulation results of downforce and drag are compared on the basis of analytical method. Keywords: Designing a spoiler, Design and analysis of spoiler, Aerodynamics of spoiler, Aerodynamic analysis of spoiler, Computational fluid dynamics, CFD analysis, CFD analysis of spoiler, Spoiler at variable angles, Types of spoilers, Analytical aerodynamic analysis.

In the rapid development process of cylindrical drip emitter, the traditional CFD analyzing method was generally carried out based on the planar model of the cylindrical labyrinth channel. However, the result obtained by this method was obviously different with the experimental data. In this paper the cylindrical prototype of the labyrinth channel was proposed and the CFD analysis was carried out based on the hexahedral mesh of the cylindrical labyrinth channel to solve this problem. Then the flow rate and the anti-clogging performance of the emitter were predicted based on the stereo prototype of the labyrinth channel. Consequently, the simulation results were verified and the cylindrical drip emitter was finalized according to its hydraulic performance experiment.
