Fluids with a high proportion of dissolved air lead to an increased air release in hydraulic components. Looking at the fluid flow in a piston pump, the resulting multiphase flow may affect its metering performance. To improve effects caused by cavitation, it is necessary to detect and analyze all critical flow areas in detail. This paper presents investigations of the multiphase flow in an electromagnetically driven dosing pump. This type of pump is suitable for metering any kind of liquid in motor vehicles in a very precise manner. Using high speed camera equipment and transparent components for the displacement chamber, the presented experimental work gives a comprehensive insight into the most relevant cavitation effects in the pump. In addition, the pressure inside the displacement chamber is measured with the help of a miniature pressure sensor. By combination of measuring data and visual recordings, cavitation phenomena can be determined precisely, so that a profound understanding of the flow behavior in the pump is achieved.

Insight Into

This paper reports on the discovery of unique flame structure of a composite propellant sample under hot wire ignition. The entire combustion process at atmospheric pressure condition was recorded using a high speed camera. Three hot wire orientations were chosen in this experiment for examining their effects on the propellant burning behavior. The results show that the wire orientations are crucial in propellant combustion process, as different flame patterns were observed when the hot wire orientation was altered. This paper provides an important insight into this specific ignition process that can be useful for researchers in the aerospace industry for better design and more realistic simulation results in ignition control.

Rotating Channel

In the current study, the influence of different rotation conditions on the flow behavior is experimentally investigated by a new system which is designed for time-resolved PIV measurements of the smooth channels at rotation conditions. The Reynolds number equals 15000 and the rotation number ranges from 0 to 0.392 with an interval of 0.098. This new time-resolved Particle Image Velocimetry system consists of a 10 Watts continuous laser diode and a high-speed camera. The laser diode can provide a less than 1mm thickness sheet light. 6400 frames can be captured in one second by the high-speed camera. These two parts of the system are fixed on a rotating disk. In this case, the relative velocity of flows in the rotating smooth square channel can be measured directly to reduce the measurement error. This system makes high-speed camera close to the rotating channel, which allows a high resolution for the measurements of main stream. In addition, high accuracy and temporal resolution realize a detailed analysis of boundary layer characteristics in rotation conditions. Based on this system, experimental investigation has been undertaken. Results are presented of the evolution of velocity and boundary layer thickness at various rotation numbers and different circumferential positions.

Hole Cleaning

Summary Horizontal drilling technology has shown to improve the production and cost–effectiveness of the well by generating multiple extraction points from a single vertical well. The efficiency of hole cleaning is reduced because of the solid–cuttings accumulation in the annulus in cases of extended–reach drilling. It is difficult to study the complex flow behavior in a drilling annulus using the existing visualization techniques. In this study, experiments were carried out in the multiphase flow–loop system consisting of a simulated drilling annulus using electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and a high–speed camera. Real–time tomographic images (quantitative visualization) of multiphase flow from ERT were compared to the actual photographs of the flow conditions in a drilling annulus. The quantitative analysis demonstrates that ERT has a wide potential application in studying the hole–cleaning issues in the drilling industry.

Summary Carbonate fractured reservoirs introduce a tremendous challenge to the upscaling of both single- and multiphase flow. The complexity comes from both heterogeneous matrix and fracture systems in which the separation of scales is very difficult. The mathematical upscaling techniques, derived from representative elementary volume (REV), must therefore be replaced by a more realistic geology-based approach. In the case of multiphase flow, an evaluation of the main forces acting during oil recovery must also be performed. A matrix-sector model from a highly heterogeneous carbonate reservoir is linked to different fracture realizations in dual-continuum simulations. An integrated iterative workflow between the geology-based static modeling and the dynamic simulations is used to investigate the effect of fracture heterogeneity on multiphase fluid flow. Heterogeneities at various scales (i.e., diffuse fractures and subseismic faults) are considered. The diffuse-fracture model is built on the basis of facies and porosity from the matrix model together with core data, image-log data, and data from outcrop-analogs. Because of poor seismic data, the subseismic-fault model is mainly conceptual and is based on the analysis of outcrop-analog data. Fluid-flow simulations are run for both single-phase and multiphase flow and gas and water injections. A better understanding of fractured-reservoirs behavior is achieved by incorporating realistic fracture heterogeneity into the geological model and analyzing the dynamic impact of fractures at various scales. In the case of diffuse fractures, the heterogeneity effect can be captured in the upscaled model. The subseismic faults, however, must be explicitly represented, unless the sigma (shape) factor is included in the upscaling process. A local grid-refinement approach is applied to demonstrate explicit fractures in large-scale simulation grids. This study provides guidelines on how to effectively scale up a heterogeneous fracture model and still capture the heterogeneous flow behavior.

Abstract The most important physics underlying lightning is the leader discharge. The presence or absence of space stems/leaders in leader steps is the key to the polarity asymmetry of leaders, which describes the difference in macroscopic behavior between positive and negative leaders and is a long-term consensus among lightning physicists. It is generally believed that negative leader steps are led by space stem, and there is no space stem/leader in positive leader discharges. Here we report the emergence of the space stem and the bidirectional development of the space leader in positive leader steps in moist air, using a high-speed camera with unprecedented spatial-temporal resolution. The lifetime of space stem/leader in positive leader steps is shorter than that in negative leader steps, causing the uncover of space stem/leader in previous studies. The bidirectional development of space leaders in positive leader steps may be an important source for VHF radiations, illuminating insight into the outstanding problem that how positive lightning leaders produce VHF radiation.

The Impact

The transient multiphase flow behavior in a single-strand tundish during ladle change was studied using physical modeling. The water and silicon oil were employed to simulate the liquid steel and slag. The effect of the turbulence inhibitor on the slag entrainment and the steel exposure during ladle change were evaluated and discussed. The effect of the slag carry-over on the water-oil-air flow was also analyzed. For the original tundish, the top oil phase in the impact zone was continuously dragged into the tundish bath and opened during ladle change, forming an emulsification phenomenon. By decreasing the liquid velocities in the upper part of the impact zone, the turbulence inhibitor decreased considerably the amount of entrained slag and the steel exposure during ladle change, thereby eliminating the emulsification phenomenon. Furthermore, the use of the TI-2 effectively lowered the effect of the slag carry-over on the steel cleanliness by controlling the movement of slag droplets. The results from industrial trials indicated that the application of the TI-2 reduced considerably the number of linear inclusions caused by ladle change in hot-rolled strip coils.
