Abstract We study the behavior of active particles (APs) moving in a viscoelastic fluid in the presence of geometrical confinements. Upon approaching a flat wall, we find that APs slow down due to compression of the enclosed viscoelastic fluid. In addition, they receive a viscoelastic torque leading to sudden orientational changes and departure from walls. Based on these observations, we develop a numerical model which can also be applied to other geometries and yields good agreement with experimental data. Our results demonstrate, that APs are able to move through complex geometrical structures more effectively when suspended in a viscoelastic compared to a Newtonian fluid. Graphic Abstract

Abstract This work presents a new approach to modelling of free surface non-Newtonian (viscoplastic or viscoelastic) fluid flows on dynamically adapted octree grids. The numerical model is based on the implicit formulation and the staggered location of governing variables. We verify our model by comparing simulations with experimental and numerical results known from the literature.

Abstract In order to study the safe distance between twin-parachute during their inflation process for fighter ejection escape, the fighter was equipped with two canopies and two seats, two types of parachute were used to numerically simulate their inflation process, respectively. One of them is C-9, the other a slot-parachute (S-P). Their physical models were built, then the meshes inside and around both parachutes were generated for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation. The penalty function and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method were employed in the FSI simulation. To validate the numerical model for FSI simulation, at first the single parachute of the twin-parachute was used for the FSI simulation, the predicted inflation times for both types of parachute were compared with the experimental data. The computed results are in good agreement with experimental data. As a result, the inflation times were predicted with twin-parachute for both kinds of parachute. On the basis of the locations of ejected seats after the separation of seat and pilot, the initial locations and orientations of twin-parachute were also obtained. The numerical simulations for both kinds of parachute were performed by the FSI method, respectively. Our results illustrate that when the interval time for two seats ejected is greater than 0.25s, two pilots attached the twin-parachute are safe, and the twin-parachute would not interfere each other. Moreover, our results also indicate that the FSI simulation for twin-parachute inflation process is feasible for engineering applications and have a great potential for wide use.

Designers of ultrasonic meter stations with headers do not have any experimental data which can help to determine proper location of the multipath ultrasonic meter within the meter run. The results of meter tests are limited to such configurations as a single 90° elbows and two elbows out of plane. Because of the variety of header layouts used in practice any experimental information related to this piping configuration will be of limited use in the design process. The proposed approach is based on the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods to the evaluation of header effects on ultrasonic flow meter using a commercial CFD code combined with a numerical model of the ultrasonic meter. The numerical simulation of the flow field in the header and meter runs and subsequent integration of the obtained velocity field in a numerical model of multipath ultrasonic meter were used to determine the optimal meter position. This approach was validated against available experimental data on the ultrasonic meter performance downstream of single and double elbow. The comparison of simulations and test data has shown very good agreement of trends exhibited by the meter. The trends were replicated by the simulator within approximately 1% for X/D ≥5 and within 0.5% for X/D ≥9.

Abstract This study adopts the numerical simulations of Moving Particle Semi-Implicit Methods (MPS), which are meshless methods based on Lagrange particles. Using Lagrange particle has an advantage that it can avoid numerical dissipation problems without directly discretizing the convection term in the governing equation. First of all, a numerical model of a liquid sloshing tank without baffles is used to confirm the effectiveness of the MPS by comparing the numerical results with the experimental data of Kang and Li. And the pressure curves obtained with MPS method were in good agreement with the experimental findings, which confirmed its effectiveness. On that basis, simulations of liquid sloshing movements with one baffle, two symmetrical baffles, and three baffles are performed, respectively. The results indicate that the addition of vertical baffles in the tanks effectively enhanced the ability to reduce liquid sloshing.

The numerical model is developed consisting of a 1D flow model and the morphological model to simulate the erosion due to the water overtopping. The step method is applied to solve the water surface on the slope and the finite difference method of the modified Lax Scheme is applied for bed change equation. The Meyer-Peter and Muller formulae is used to determine the bed load transport rate. The model is calibrated and verified based on the data in experiment. It is found that the computed results and experiment data are good agreement.

Abstract An analytical tool is presented for the prediction of the effects of changes in tread pattern design on thick film wet traction performance. Results are reported for studies in which the analysis, implemented on a digital computer, was used to determine the effect of different tread geometry features, among these being the number, width, and lateral spacing of longitudinal grooves and the angle of zigzags in longitudinal grooves, on thick film wet traction. These results are shown to be in good agreement with experimental data appearing in the literature and are used to formulate guidelines for tread groove network design practice.

An investigation was undertaken on the removal of a model virus, bacterial virus MS2 against Escherichia coli, by sand filtration using untreated, and alum or cationic polyelectrolyte treated media, and uncoagulated as well as alum coagulated influent. Data on discrete virus removal were satisfactorily accounted for by electrokinetic phenomena and diffusion. For virus in association with turbidity, filter coefficients computed from experimental data were in good agreement with those predicted by mechanical straining and gravity settling which were the dominant mechanisms for removal of the turbidity particles to which the viruses attached.

The authors proposed and treated quantitatively a kinetic model for deposition of epitaxial GaAs layers prepared by reaction of trimethylgallium with arsine in hydrogen atmosphere. The transport of gallium to the surface of the substrate is considered as the controlling process. The influence of the rate of chemical reactions in the gas phase and on the substrate surface on the kinetics of the deposition process is neglected. The calculated dependence of the growth rate of the layers on the conditions of the deposition is in a good agreement with experimental data in the temperature range from 600 to 800°C.
