Free Jet Flow

The flow in a converging-diverging nozzle is studied numerically. The flowing medium is a suspension composed of gas seeded with small, spherical, solid particles. The solution covers the entire flow history, from its initiation and until a steady state flow is reached. The covered flow domain includes both the flow field inside the nozzle and part of the free jet flow outside of the nozzle exit plane. The solution is repeated for different solid particle diameters, ranging from 0.5 μm to 50 μm, and different dust loading ratios. It is shown that the presence of solid particles in the flow has a significant effect on the developed flow field, inside and outside the nozzle. In particular, by a proper choice of particles diameter lateral pressure waves and the secondary shock wave can be significantly attenuated. The solid particles size has also a marked effect on the position and size of the Mach disk appearing in the free jet flow. It is also shown that in a suspension case a steady state flow is reached faster than in a similar pure gas flow.

Free Jet Flow

The nozzle is one of the critical parts in the dry-ice blasting system, spray nozzle's structure and the air supersonic free jet flow field take big influence on cleaning efficiency during the blasting process. Inner flow field of different size nozzles and the flow field of jet flow sprayed by nozzles were simulated with software Fluent, which obtained the distribution results of pressure and velocity of fluid. The result indicated that the supersonic underexpanded jet take place in the nozzle outlet and the shock wave is gained as the pressure at the nozzle exit is greater than the atmospheric pressure. With increasing of the nozzle size, the velocity decrease of airflow become slower, the shock wave transmission distance increase and deduce the stability of the jet flow.

Set Up

In this paper we consider the development of the flow field in and about a liquid drop immersed in a conducting fluid, induced by an electric field stress. We place special emphasis to the case when the applied electric field is a d.c. field. We assume that the electric field stress is set up instantaneously and investigate the development of the flow field as the drop is being deformed. Thus, the present work is an extension of Sir Geoffrey Taylor’s work concerning the steady state flow field set up by a d.c. field and the author’s work concerning the quasi-steady state flow generated by an a.c. field. In the case of a d.c. field, the fluid circulation in the proximity of the drop surface initially forms closed loops which eventually propagate to infinity. Also, in the proximity of the drop surface, the developing flow field may be more intense and even directed in opposite sense in comparison with that of the steady state. In the limit, when the time t tends to infinity, the solution presented here converges to the solutions established in the papers referred to above.

Throat Width

 This paper aims to conduct a series of laboratory experiments in case of steady-state flow for the new size 7 ̋ throat width (not presented before) of the cutthroat flume. For this size, five different lengths were adopted 0.535, 0.46, 0.40, 0.325 and 0.27m these lengths were adopted based on the limitations of the available flume. The experimental program has been followed to investigate the hydraulic characteristic and introducing the calibrated formula for free flow application within the discharge ranged between 0.006 and 0.025 m3/s. The calibration result showed that, under suitable operation conditions, the suggested empirical formulas can accurately predict the values of discharge within an error ± 3%.

Aquifer Test

A simple, approximate but practical graphical method is proposed for estimating the storage coefficient independently from the transmissivity value, provided that quasi-steady state flow data are available from a pumping test. In the past, quasi-steady state flow distance-drawdown data have been used for the determination of transmissivity only. The method is applicable to confined and leaky aquifers. The application of the method has been performed for various aquifer test data available in the groundwater literature. The results are within the practical limits of approximation compared with the unsteady state flow solutions.
