The paper presents detailed parametric simulations about the unsteady flow in the cascade passageways. The studies focus on two aspects of unsteady cascade flow. One is two dimensional (2D), which describes unsteady flow characteristics only in blade-to-blade surfaces. The other is three-dimensional (3D, a linear cascade), in which more attentions are paid to the stacking of the unsteady flow of 2D cascades along all spanwise positions. In the former aspect, two different types of unsteadiness are applied at the inlet. One is an azimuthal wave structure that processes through the cascade. The other unsteadiness is spatially uniform and oscillates in time. Using each type of unsteadiness, inflow oscillations of total pressure, total temperature and inflow angle are studied for one turbine and one compressor cascades. The emphasis is focused on the aerodynamic effects of the time-average value, the amplitude and the frequency of the unsteady flow. Results show that the unsteady cascade flow produces more losses than a steady one. Some potentials towards engineering applications are also described. Finally, unsteady flow in 3D linear cascade is studied. A design freedom that can not be used under steady flow frame, Edge-Matching, is put forward. It is essentially to match phase angle of unsteady flow along the whole span so that aerodynamic, aeroelastic, aeroacoustic and heat transfer performances of turbomachinery can be optimized and compromised. With a comprehensive viewpoint, case treatment, hot streak/blade interaction, clocking and even calming effects all belong to Edge-Matching technique. It may eventually promote the daily use of unsteady design.

Simulation of unsteady viscous turbomachinery flowfields is presently impractical as a design tool due to the long run times required. Designers rely predominantly on steady-state simulations, but these simulations do not account for some of the important unsteady flow physics. Unsteady flow effects can be modeled as source terms in the steady flow equations. These source terms, referred to as Lumped Deterministic Stresses (LDS), can be used to drive steady flow solution procedures to reproduce the time-average of an unsteady flow solution. The goal of this work is to investigate the feasibility of using inviscid lumped deterministic stresses to model unsteady combustion hot streak migretion effects on the turbine blade tip and outer air seal heat loads. The LDS model is obtained from an unsteady inviscid calculation. The inviscid LDS model is then used with a steady viscous computation to simulate the time-averaged viscous solution. The feasibility of the inviscid LDS model is demonstrated on a single stage, three-dimensional, vane-blade turbine with a hot streak entering the vane passage at mid-pitch and mid-span. The steady viscous solution with the LDS model is compared to the time-averaged viscous, steady viscous and time-averaged inviscid computations. The LDS model reproduces the time-averaged viscous temperature distribution on the outer air seal to within 2.3%, while the steady viscous has an error of 8.4%, and the time-averaged inviscid calculation has an error of 17.2%. The solution using the LDS model is obtained at a cost in CPU time that is 26% of that required for a time-averaged viscous computation.

A three-dimensional unsteady flow for the pulse converter exhaust manifold of 8-cylinder diesel engine was numerical simulated to get the flow characteristics of the exhaust manifold. Simulation results show that there are strong eddy flows, low pressure closed recirculation flow region in the exhaust manifold. Afterwards the structure optimization of the exhaust manifold with baffle was put forward and then the unsteady flow in the normal exhaust manifold, the exhaust manifold with baffle of 30 degrees and the exhaust manifold of 15 degrees were simulated and analyzed. It is concluded that the exhaust manifold with baffle is better than that without baffle, the recirculation flow region and the pressure loss in the exhaust manifold with baffle of 30 degrees is smaller than in it with baffle of 15 degree and the flow in the former exhaust manifold is much smoother.

The unsteady flow characteristics around two partially buried objects, a short cylinder and a truncated cone, were examined with a three-dimensional, non-hydrostatic hydrodynamic model under similar steady unidirectional currents with flow Reynolds numbers, Re, of 86,061 and 76,209, respectively. Model simulations were conducted with the two objects partially buried in a simulated rippled river bed. A Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation model coupled with a κ-ε turbulence closure was used to validate the experimental velocity measurements. A large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence model was subsequently used to characterize the unsteady flow structure around the objects. The LES closure allowed for the characterization of highly unsteady coherent turbulent structures such as the horse-shoe vortex, the arch-shaped vortex, as well as vortex shedding in the wake of the object.

To study the reasons for the low efficiency of jet centrifugal pumps (JCPs) and the mechanism of unsteady flow characteristics under multiple conditions, taking a JET750G1 JCP as the object, three-dimensional steady and unsteady numerical calculations of the model pump were carried out using the k–ω turbulence model. The transient fluctuation characteristics of the flow field in the major flow passage components and the spatial and temporal evolution laws of vortices in the rotor–stator cascades were analyzed. The accuracy of the numerical method was verified by experiments. The results show that there are various scales of flow distortion phenomena in the chamber of the JCP, such as eddies, blockage of the flow passage, recirculation, secondary flow, and circulation, which not only cause great hydraulic loss, but also destroy the flow stability, symmetry, and balance in the other flow passage components. This is an important reason for the obviously lower efficiency of a JCP compared to a general centrifugal pump. The spatial and temporal evolution laws of vortices in the rotor–stator cascades are mainly related to the relative positions of the impeller blades and guide vane blades. The formation mechanism of the unsteady flow field fluctuation characteristics of JCPs is mainly related to the number of blades in the rotor–stator cascades and the operation parameters of the pump. The fluctuation intensity of the flow field inside the impeller and guide vane is obviously greater than that in the other flow areas, reflecting that the rotor–stator interaction is the decisive factor affecting the unsteady flow characteristics of a JCP under multiple conditions.

Chaperonins are a class of proteins characterized by their role as morphogenetic factors. They trantsiently interact with the structural components of certain biological aggregates (viruses, enzymes etc), promoting their correct folding, assembly and, eventually transport. The groEL factor from E. coli is a conspicuous member of the chaperonins, as it promotes the assembly and morphogenesis of bacterial oligomers and/viral structures.We have studied groEL-like factors from two different bacteria:E. coli and B.subtilis. These factors share common morphological features , showing two different views: one is 6-fold, while the other shows 7 morphological units. There is also a correlation between the presence of a dominant 6-fold view and the fact of both bacteria been grown at low temperature (32°C), while the 7-fold is the main view at higher temperatures (42°C). As the two-dimensional projections of groEL were difficult to interprete, we studied their three-dimensional reconstruction by the random conical tilt series method from negatively stained particles.

Abstract For a robust three-dimensional video transmission through error prone channels, an efficient multiple description coding for multi-view video based on the correlation of spatial polyphase transformed subsequences (CSPT_MDC_MVC) is proposed in this article. The input multi-view video sequence is first separated into four subsequences by spatial polyphase transform and then grouped into two descriptions. With the correlation of macroblocks in corresponding subsequence positions, these subsequences should not be coded in completely the same way. In each description, one subsequence is directly coded by the Joint Multi-view Video Coding (JMVC) encoder and the other subsequence is classified into four sets. According to the classification, the indirectly coding subsequence selectively employed the prediction mode and the prediction vector of the counter directly coding subsequence, which reduces the bitrate consumption and the coding complexity of multiple description coding for multi-view video. On the decoder side, the gradient-based directional interpolation is employed to improve the side reconstructed quality. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm is verified by experiments in the JMVC coding platform.
