Rotating Cylindrical Shell

By coupling the Donnell–Mushtari shell equations to an analytical inviscid fluid solution, the linear dynamics of a rotating cylindrical shell with a corotating axial fluid flow is studied. Previously discovered mathematical singularities in the flow solution are explained here by the physical phenomenon of blocking. From a reference frame moving with the traveling waves in the shell wall, the flow is identical to the flow in a rigid varicose tube. When the ratio of rotation rate to flow velocity approaches a critical value, the phenomenon of blocking creates a stagnation region between the humps of the wall. Since the linear model cannot account for this phenomenon, the solution blows up.

In this article we study the parabolic system of equations which is closely related to a multitype branching Brownian motion. Particular attention is paid to the monotone traveling wave solutions of this system. Provided with some moment conditions, we show the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behaviors of such waves with speed greater than or equal to a critical value c̲ and nonexistence of such waves with speed smaller than c̲.

Cleaning Device

The application of the hole cleaning device in downhole is a new technology that can improve the problem of cuttings accumulation in the annulus and improve the hole cleaning effect of the wellbore during drilling. In this paper, the Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes model, together with the Realizable k-ε turbulence model, are used to perform transient simulations. The effects of rotational speed, blade shape, and helical angle on the initial swirl intensity and its decay behavior along the flow direction are studied. The swirl number, the initial swirl intensity, the decay rate, the tangential velocity distribution, and the variation of pressure are analyzed. The results indicate that the swirl number of the swirl flow exponentially decays along the flow direction. The straight blade and V-shaped blade have different swirl flow induction mechanisms. Under specific drilling parameters, the critical helical angle is determined for both types of blades. When the selection of the helical angle is close to the critical value, the swirl flow will be close to the axial flow, which is of little help in hole cleaning. Moreover, the rotation direction of swirl flow will change when the helical angle exceeds the critical value.

Many practical applications exploit an external local magnetic field – magnetic obstacle – as an essential part of their operation. It has been demonstrated that the flow of an electrically conducting fluid influenced by an external field can show several kinds of recirculation. The present paper reports a three-dimensional numerical study, some results of which are compared with an experiment on such a flow in a rectangular duct. First, we derive equations to compute analytically the external magnetic field and verify these equations by comparing with experimentally measured field intensity. Then, we study flow characteristics for different magnetic field configurations. The flow inside the magnetic gap is dependent mainly on the interaction parameter N, which represents the ratio of the Lorentz force to the inertial force. Depending on the constrainment factor κ = My/Ly, where My and Ly are the half-widths of the external magnet and duct, the flow can show different stationary recirculation patterns: two magnetic vortices at small κ, a six-vortex ensemble at moderate κ, and no vortices at large κ. Recirculation appears when N is higher than a critical value Nc,m. The driving force for the recirculation is the reverse electromotive force that arises to balance the reverse electrostatic field. The reversal of the electrostatic field is caused by the concurrence of internal and external vorticity respectively related to the internal and external slopes in the M-shaped velocity profile. The critical value of Nc,m grows quickly as κ increases. For the case of well-developed recirculation, the numerical reverse velocity agrees well with that obtained in experiments. Two different magnetic systems can induce the same electric field and stagnation region provided these systems have the same power of recirculation, given by the N/Nc,m ratio. The three-dimensional helical characteristics of the vortices are elaborated, and an analogy is shown to exist between helical motion inside the recirculation studied and secondary motion in Ekman pumping. Finally, it is shown that a two-dimensional model fails to properly produce stable two- and six-vortex structures as found in the three-dimensional system. Interestingly, these recirculation patterns appear only as time-dependent and unstable transitional states before a Kármán vortex street forms, when one suddenly applies a retarding local magnetic field to a constant flow.

The Impact

Abstract The Ultra Compact Combustor (UCC) offers a means to reduce overall combustor size. Unlike traditional axial flow combustors, the UCC utilizes an outboard circumferential cavity as the primary combustion zone. This combustor design enables the implementation of a Hybrid Guide Vane (HGV), located radially inboard of the circumferential cavity, to be positioned with the leading edge axially upstream of the hot combustion gases. Previous Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) efforts determined the viability of a passive cooling scheme where cooler compressor air was drawn into an opening at the stagnation region of the HGV and used for both internal and film-cooling of the vane. The present study investigates the performance of five cooled HGV configurations each having a unique combination of film-cooling, internal passage area, and internal passage geometry. The effectiveness of film-cooling holes to both protect the hardware and alter the flow path of the hot gases exiting the combustor cavity were evaluated for a range of core flow conditions. Further, the impact of a trailing edge slot to maintain an appropriate coolant flow rate through the HGV was evaluated. Results confirmed the efficacy of HGV with passive air ingestion. A solid structure located inside the cooled vanes affected the internal coolant mass flow and pressure rise and thus the overall cooling effectiveness. Further, optimal blowing ratios were demonstrated to buffer hot streaks in the freestream path resulting in a more uniform radial temperature distribution.

A general formalism is derived, that allows the evaluation of magnetic instabilities of all types of electric arc. It is shown that a stability criterion exists which is determined by the interaction between the magnetic forces, the frictional force and the so-called isotherm movement. This criterion can be expressed in terms of a dimensionless parameter Mk: when Mk is smaller than a critical value Mkcr, then the arc is absolutely stable, when Mk = Mkcr a stationary, deflected condition arises, and when Mk>Mkcr the arc is unstable. Depending on the magnitude of the growth rate however, a convective stabilisation, caused by an axial flow component, can result. The results of the theory are applied to a variety of technically interesting arcs, such as axially blown arcs, arcs in gaps and transversely blown arcs.

Plate Center

The exit flow patterns of an axial flow fan widely used in electronics cooling are experimentally characterized both in free exit and in the presence of a flat impingement plate. The axial fan is rotated with 12.0 V input from a dc power supply, leading to a nominal Reynolds number of Re=9.0×103 based on fan diameter. One shear layer each is found to form between the exit flow from the axial fan and the surrounding fluid at rest, and between the exit flow and the flow along the fan axis. In addition to creating a highest wall pressure region (the primary stagnation region), the presence of the flat plate induces a flow recirculation zone (the secondary stagnation region) at the plate center. When the fan exit-to-plate spacing normalized by fan diameter (H/D) equals to about 0.6, the wall pressure is minimized in the secondary stagnation region due to the maximized “recirculation” as a result of intensified flow interaction. Within the range considered (0.2≤H/D≤2.0) and with the case of H/D∼0.6 serving as a reference, the flow interaction tends to be suppressed by the proximity of the plate at H/D=0.2 and weakened due to the momentum dissipation at H/D∼2.0.

Flow-induced vibration of rod arrays in a jet flow was studied experimentally. The rod arrays tested were on square layout with a pitch-to-diameter ratio of 1.32. The rods were found to vibrate with large whirling trajectories when the jet velocity exceeds a critical value. The effects of axial flow velocity and stand-off distance of the rod array from jet exit were also investigated. A design guide for rod arrays subjected to a jet flow is proposed.
