This paper reports a computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) investigation for a high-temperature high-pressure filtration (ceramic candle filter). However parallel flow to the filter is considered in this study. Different face (filtration) velocities are examined using the CFD code, FLUENT. Particles ranging from 1 to 100 microns are tracked through the domain to find the height at which the particles will impinge on the filter surface. Furthermore, particle distribution around the filter (or filter cake) is studied to design efficient cleaning mechanisms. Gravity affect to the particles with various inlet velocities and pressure drop are both considered.

Abstract The results of previous studies have proved that manufacture variations can cause a noticeable influence on compressor aerodynamic performance. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the influence rules and mechanisms of manufacture variations on supersonic/transonic blades aerodynamic performance. The variations used in this study were measured from some newly manufactured high-pressure compressors. In the present study, several blade sections with different design Mach number conditions are selected for further statistical analysis of measured deviation data. Therefore, some systematic errors in the deviation data have been revealed. Based on these data, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method has been used to obtain the aerodynamic performances of a large number of the measured blade elements. And then, the analysis of the influence rules of manufacture variations on blade aerodynamic performance in different Mach number conditions has been carried out. The present results indicate that the effects of manufacture variations on blade aerodynamic performance in the lower Mach number (0.8) condition are much more significant comparing to that in the higher Mach number (0.9∼1.2) conditions. Based on this, influence mechanisms of manufacture variations on positive incidence range and negative incidence range have been analyzed. The differences of influence mechanisms in different Mach number conditions are the focus of research.

Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are used to predict the flow-induced forcing in high-pressure multiphase pipe flow. Furthermore, empirical correlations from the literature is compared and validated against computational and experimental results. Based on the CFD results and in conjunction with the reference 6” (internal diameter (ID)) data, new scaling rules are proposed.

The methods used in predicting the thermal profile of a high-pressure mercury arc lamp housed in an electronics enclosure are discussed. These types of enclosures are typically operated in harsh environments. High temperature and low pressure air is typically used to cool the electronics inside. A lamp, which dissipates roughly one half of the total power within the box, must be cooled sufficiently so as to not affect the performance of the circuit cards. Since the majority of the heat being transferred from the lamp’s center arc tube to its surrounding atmosphere (to the lamp housing and then to the circuit cards inside the electronics box) is via radiation, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code with a radiation solver was essential to drive the design. Fluent Icepak was chosen as a capable code for electronic box type problems. However, lcepak does not account for radiative transfer through non-opaque surfaces. Since the lamp housing is very transmissive in the infrared at certain wavelengths, the energy equations could not be solved using only analytical techniques. Therefore, tests were conducted that first characterized the thermal performance of the lamp and then predicted the energy that was conducted and absorbed by the glass housing (made up of a reflector and front cover). The remaining power was then assumed to be transmissive in nature. In the computational model, powers were iteratively applied to various locations on the lamp housing until the model matched the empirical results. Once the lamp model was characterized, it could be used to drive the design of any type of enclosure in any type of environment.

This paper is a study on the distributive regularities of dimensionless pressure in elbow pipes by dimensional and qualitative analyzing methods. The qualitative description method of fluid flow such as 90° elbow pipe is obtained. With Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the effect of a number of dimensionless parameters such as the non-dimensional curvature, Reynolds number, dimensionless axial angle α and annular angle β and other factors on the spatial distribution of pressure inside the elbow are analyzed and discussed in detail. This paper not only provides theoretical and numerical methods for understanding the dynamic behavior of the fluid in the elbow pipes, but also provides the reliable basis for designing thickness of elbow pipes with high temperature, high pressure and high velocity.

This article presents a complementary experimental and computational investigation of the effect of viscosity and flowrate on the dynamics of drop formation in the dripping mode. In contrast to previous studies, numerical simulations are performed with two popular commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) packages, CFX and FLOW-3D, both of which employ the volume of fluid (VOF) method. Comparison with previously published experimental and computational data and new experimental results reported here highlight the capabilities and limitations of the aforementioned packages.

ABSTRACTA modeling methodology based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been developed that is appropriate for the global regime of lithographically directed, evaporation driven self-assembly. The modeling technique has been experimentally verified through comparison with the well-known benchmark case of evaporation driven self-assembly associated with the evaporation of a colloidal, self-pinned droplet. The predicted evolution of the particle distribution during evaporation is compared to optical experimental measurements of the particle distribution within an evaporating droplet containing fluorescing nanoparticles.

Abstract In the cold spray process; cross-sectional shape of the nozzle has a significant effect on spray pattern of coatings. The circular exit nozzle is parabolic in shape. So; spray pattern with the rectangular nozzle is wider than that with the circular spray nozzle. The goal of this investigation is to establish a design for the cold spray gun nozzle to gain more uniform spray profile of coatings. We have investigated the influence of expansion ratio; nozzle total length and the ratio of nozzle length of divergent section and parallel section of rectangular nozzle on behaviors of gas and particle by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in high pressure cold spraying. We have studied copper particles so far. In this study; we will examine aluminum particles. First; we investigate the influence of the size and shape of the rectangular section nozzle on the velocity; temperature; and particle distribution of aluminum particles by CFD. After that; the rectangular section nozzles were fabricated and coating formation experiments were conducted; spray patterns and coating cross-sectional structures were observed; and coating adhesion was also evaluated. The nozzle material was polybenzimidazole resin; which is difficult for aluminum particles to attach to nozzle walls.
