Abstract With a large number of wind and solar power sources connected to the power grid, higher requirements are put forward for the power generation equipment to respond to the power grid imbalance. The safety research of generator rotor retaining ring under the impact of negative sequence current is of great significance. For 300MW turbogenerator, the two-dimensional and three-dimensional eddy current, temperature rise, stress and life of generator rotor under the impact of negative sequence current are analyzed and studied. The two-dimensional calculation models of stator and rotor are established, and the distribution of negative sequence eddy current field in rotor section is analyzed; considering the contact resistance between rotor and retaining ring and the end effect of magnetic field, a three-dimensional analysis model is established, and the calculation results of three-dimensional eddy current field, temperature field and stress field are obtained. The analysis shows that after considering the contact resistance between rotor and retaining ring and end effect, the current density at the contact between retaining ring and rotor big tooth edge is 17.6 times of the two-dimensional calculation result of rotor section, and the maximum temperature of rotor retaining ring reaches 170.36°C.

AbstractUnderstanding the behaviour of particles entrained in a fluid flow upon changes in flow direction is crucial in problems where particle inertia is important, such as the erosion process in pipe bends. We present results on the impact of particles in a T-shaped channel in the laminar–turbulent transitional regime. The impacting event for a given system is described in terms of the Reynolds number and the particle Stokes number. Experimental results for the impact are compared with the trajectories predicted by theoretical particle-tracing models for a range of configurations to determine the role of the viscous boundary layer in retarding the particles and reducing the rate of collision with the substrate. In particular, a two-dimensional model based on a stagnation-point flow is used together with three-dimensional numerical simulations. We show how the simple two-dimensional model provides a tractable way of understanding the general collision behaviour, while more advanced three-dimensional simulations can be helpful in understanding the details of the flow.

The Impact

It has been a challenge to simulate flexible flapping wings or other three-dimensional problems involving strong fluid–structure interactions. Solving a unified fluid–solid system in a monolithic manner improves both numerical stability and efficiency. The current algorithm considered a three-dimensional extension of an earlier work which formulated two-dimensional fluid–structure interaction monolithically under a unified framework for both fluids and solids. As the approach is extended from a two-dimensional to a three-dimensional configuration, a cell division technique and the associated projection process become necessary and are illustrated here. Two benchmark cases, a floppy viscoelastic particle in shear flow and a flow passing a rigid sphere, are simulated for validation. Finally, the three-dimensional monolithic algorithm is applied to study a micro-air vehicle with flexible flapping wings in a forward flight at different angles of attack. The simulation shows the impact from the angle of attack on wing deformation, wake vortex structures, and the overall aerodynamic performance.

Background To investigate the discrepancy between two-dimensional digital subtraction angiography and three-dimensional rotational angiography for small (<5 mm) cerebral aneurysms and the impact on decision making among neuro-interventional experts as evaluated by online questionnaire. Materials and methods Eight small (<5 mm) ruptured aneurysms were visually identified in 16 image sets in either two-dimensional or three-dimensional format for placement in a questionnaire for 11 invited neuro-interventionalists. For each set, two questions were posed: Question 1: “Which of the following is the preferred treatment choice: simple coiling, balloon remodeling or stent assisted coiling?”; Question 2: “Is it achievable to secure the aneurysm with pure simple coiling?” The discrepancies of angio-architecture parameters and treatment choices between two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography and three-dimensional rotational angiography were evaluated. Results In all eight cases, the neck images via three-dimensional rotational angiography were larger than two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography with a mean difference of 0.95 mm. All eight cases analyzed with three-dimensional rotational angiography, but only one case with two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography were classified as wide-neck aneurysms with dome-to-neck ratio < 1.5. The treatment choices based on the two-dimensional or three-dimensional information were different in 56 of 88 (63.6%) paired answers. Simple coiling was the preferred choice in 66 (75%) and 26 (29.6%) answers based on two-dimensional and three-dimensional information, respectively. Three types of angio-architecture with a narrow gap between the aneurysm sidewall and parent artery were proposed as an explanation for neck overestimation with three-dimensional rotational angiography. Conclusions Aneurysm neck overestimation with three-dimensional rotational angiography predisposed neuro-interventionalists to more complex treatment techniques. Additional two-dimensional information is crucial for endovascular treatment planning for small cerebral aneurysms.

Insight Into

Driven by fluid dynamics principles, the concept for buffeting reduction, a cavity installed at the leading edge of the sunroof opening, is analyzed. The cavity provides a room to hold the vortex, shed from upstream, and prevents the vortex from escaping and from directly intruding into the cabin. The concept has been verified by means of a two dimensional simulation for a production SUV using the CFD software — FLUENT. The simulation results show that the impact of the cavity is crucial to reduce buffeting. It is shown that the buffeting level may be reduced by 3 dB by adding a cavity to the sunroof configuration. Therefore, the cavity could be considered as a means of buffeting reduction, in addition to the three currently-known concepts: wind deflector, sunroof glass comfort position and cabin venting. Thorough understanding of the buffeting mechanism helps explain why and how the cavity works to reduce buffeting. Investigation of the buffeting-related physics provides a deep insight into the flow nature and, therefore, a useful hint to geometry modification for buffeting reduction. The buffeting level may be further reduced by about 4 dB or more by cutting the corners of the sunroof opening into smooth ramps, guided by ideas coming from careful examining the physics of flow. More work including three dimensional simulation and wind tunnel experiment should follow in order to develop more confidence in the functionality of the cavity to hopefully promote this idea to the level that it can be utilized in a feasible way to address sunroof buffeting.

Abstract The partial reflection of mountain waves at the tropopause has been studied extensively for its contribution to downslope windstorms, but its impact on orographic precipitation has not been addressed. Here linear theory and numerical simulations are used to investigate how the tropopause affects the vertical structure of mountain waves and, in turn, orographic precipitation. Relative to the no-tropopause case, wave-induced ascent above the windward slope of a two-dimensional ridge is found to be enhanced or diminished depending on the ratio of the tropopause height to the vertical wavelength of the mountain waves—defined here as the “nondimensional tropopause height” . In idealized simulations of flow over both two-dimensional and three-dimensional ridges, variations in are found to modulate the precipitation rate by roughly a factor of 2 under typical atmospheric conditions. The sensitivity of precipitation to is related primarily to the depth of windward ascent but also to the location and strength of leeside descent, with significant impacts on the distribution of precipitation across the range (i.e., the rain-shadow effect). Using a modified version of Smith and Barstad’s orographic precipitation model, variations in are found to produce significant rain-shadow variability in the Washington Cascades, perhaps explaining some of the variability in rain-shadow strength observed among Cascade storms.

The Impact

In this study, the impact resistance of two-dimensional (2D) fabrics and three-dimensional (3D) preforms is explained. These fabrics and preforms include 2D and 3D woven and knitted flat and circular fabrics. Various types of soft/layered structures as well as rigid composite are outlined with some design examples for ballistic and stab threats. The recent developments in nanotubes/nanofibers and shear-thickening fluids (STF) for ballistic fabrics are reviewed. The ballistic properties of single- and multi-layered fabrics are discussed. Their impact mechanism is explained for both soft vest and rigid armor applications. Analytical modeling and computational techniques for the estimation of ballistic properties are outlined. It is concluded that the ballistic/stab properties of fiber-reinforced soft and rigid composites can be enhanced by using high-strength fibers and tough matrices as well as specialized nanomaterials. Ballistic/stab resistance properties were also improved by the development of special fabric architectures. All these design factors are of primary importance for achieving flexible and lightweight ballistic structures with a high ballistic limit.

The paper deals with the eddy currents in thin circular cylinders of uniform conducting material, due to periodic currents in conductors lying parallel to the axis of the cylinder, or to the rotation of the cylinder in a two-dimensional field of force. The first of these problems was discussed by Mr M. B. Field in a paper entitled “Eddy current losses in three-phase cable sheaths,” read before the British Association at their Cambridge meeting in 1904. The solution proposed, however, although probably sufficient for the object, is mathematically defective, in that the field due to the current carried by the cable is assumed as the total field, the effect of the eddy-current field on the eddy currents themselves being left out of account.
