An ink-particle flight simulation method for industrial, continuous-type inkjet printers was developed to clarify the factors that influence the print distortion. Print distortion is produced by aerodynamic and electric interference between the ink-particles flying from the nozzle onto the print-target. The necessary functions to do this, such as the calculation of electrostatic force in the electric field between the electrodes, the Coulomb’s force from other charged ink-particles, and the drag force in the inkjet stream for many flying ink-particles were added to a Lagrangian method in the fluid dynamic analysis software that was used for the simulation. The trajectories of the ink-particles flying from this nozzle onto the print target and the air-flow caused by them were calculated simultaneously in the simulation. The simulation results for the velocities and trajectories of the flying ink-particles were compared with the experimental ones using a high-speed camera. These simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental ones, and this helps to clarify the factors that influence the print distortion.

A method of simulating ink-particle flight for industrial, continuous inkjet printers (CIJPs) was developed to clarify the factors that influence print distortion. Print distortion is produced by aerodynamic and electric interference between the ink-particles flying from the nozzle onto the print target. The necessary functions to do this, such as the calculation of electrostatic force in the electric field between the electrodes, Coulomb's force from other charged ink-particles, and the drag force in the inkjet stream for many flying ink-particles were added to a Lagrangian method in the software to analyze the fluid dynamics that was used in the simulations. The trajectories of the ink particles flying from the nozzle onto the print target and the air flow caused by them were simultaneously calculated in the simulations. The results from simulations for the velocities and trajectories of the flying ink particles were compared with the experimental ones obtained with a high-speed camera. These simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental ones, and the developed simulation helps to clarify the factors that influence print distortion and to create algorithms that decrease it.

A simulation method for load rejection with a 150 kW class radial inflow steam turbine system was proposed to determine over rotational speed at load rejection. Simulations were carried out for several parameters of valves which are operated in an emergency. In addition, load rejection tests were carried out to confirm the machine reliability and to obtain results for comparison with the simulation results. Simulation results show that operation delay times of the steam release and vacuum break valves greatly affect over rotational speed at load rejection. Load rejection tests were done for generator outputs from 69 kW to 113 kW. Maximum over rotational speed of 54,160 rpm was measured at the generator output of 113 kW. Over rotational speed calculated by the dynamic simulation has relatively good agreement with the result for the operation delay time of 0.21 s. If the operation delay time of the steam release valves are kept as 0.21 s at the load rejection for the rated load of 150 kW, the over rotational speed is suppressed within 55,200 rpm which is less than the allowed rotational speed of 56,100 rpm.

Due to the importance of geometrical design of clinching tools, the clinching process with extensible dies was investigated numerically and experimentally to seek for optimal parameters of clinching tools in this study. The joining parameters, including punch corner radius, sliding distance, die depth and bottom thickness, were optimized using the orthogonal experimental design simulation method based on the evaluation of tensile strength. The simulation results were validated through an experimental setup testing on material aluminum alloy Al5052. The orthogonal experimental design simulation results showed reasonably good agreement with the experimental results. To further investigate the validation of the simulation model, the different bottom thicknesses within a reasonable range of value were studied. The results also indicated that the simulation model could be employed to predict the joint forming by the clinching process with extensible dies.

In order to forecast the sailing response of planing craft at high speed rapidly and accurately, CFD code Fine/Marine solver was used to calculate the resistance and sailing attitude of a high-speed planing craft, then the numerical results were compared with experimental results and empirical formula results. The results showed that resistance error calculated by Fine/Marine was between 5% and 10%, trim and heave results were in good agreement with experimental results, and had greater accuracy compared with the empirical formula results.

The quality of blended yarn depends on the uniformity of the blending of the multi-component fibers in the yarn, and sliver blending is a process necessary for mixing fibers. The movement of fibers directly affects the distribution and mixing of fibers in the sliver. In this paper, the sliver blending process was simulated, and a method for the evaluation of sliver blending irregularity was proposed. The effects of passages of drawing and blending ratio on the sliver mixing uniformity were studied and verified both by experiment and simulation. The results show that the blending irregularity decreases gradually and tends to be stable with the increase of the passages of blending drawing. The more similar the blending ratio of the two components with approximately equal linear densities, the easier it is for the component fibers to mix evenly in the sliver. The simulation results are in good agreement with the measured values and previous research results. In addition, the blending irregularity of fiber components in the blended sliver can be predicted by the simulation method.

Abstract The pressure pulsation due to rotor-stator interaction (RSI) is unavoidable for high-speed centrifugal pump when operating under different conditions. The frequency components of pressure pulsation in the vaneless region are the most complex, and the pressure pulsation characteristic plays an important role in pump structural stress analysis. A numerical simulation method is used to obtain the hydraulic performances of a high-speed centrifugal pump with 9857 r/min at the range of flow rates between 48.1 to 155.0 m3/h. The head and efficiency under different operating conditions have good agreement with experimental results, with maximum deviations in 3.82% and 5.37%, respectively. The results show that the level of the pressure pulsation from the inlet to the outlet of the impeller increased gradually, and the pressure pulsations between the short blades are greater than that between the long and short blades. In the diffuser, the pressure pulsation is the highest near the tongue, whereas it is lower in the region between the two tongues, and this region is defined as the vaneless region. The pressure contours in the vaneless region almost have no change, while they near the tongue are densely distributed, revealing the mechanism of uneven pressure pulsation distribution. Moreover, there is a high radial velocity distribution near the tongue in the vaneless region, indicating that there may be a jet-wake pattern occured in this region.

In the background of a container-type vertical launch missile, the simulation method of adapter separation in different wind speeds is researched. Based on force analysis of the adapters during their separation from the missile, the dynamic and kinematics equations of the adapter separation are established. The adapter’s aerodynamic parameters at different attitudes getting from the numerical wind tunnel are chosen to be the input. Through the dynamic simulation of the separation process of the adapters, the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The trajectory and placement distribution of adapters are obtained during the analysis of force and motion stance at different wind speeds. Then the relative distances between the adapter and missile or launch facility are determined. At the same time, it can be estimated that the combined calculation will save about two-thirds of time compared with dynamic grid method computing, which provides a significant guidance for the simulation method of adapter separation.
