This paper presents some results of simulation using ANSYS CFX software in design air spindle which has the structure in the form of orifice and grooves to ensure uniform pressure distribution and avoiding air hammer; it is also easy to manufacture and reduces costs. The results of simulation are good in investigating operation of air-spindle which is changed some parameters to find the optimal working mode for the air spindle with speed in the range of 5000–20,000 rpm.

Abstract Secondary sealing flow is of great importance in the turbine disk cooling and sealing system. The amount of cooling air extracted from the compressor is crucial to engine efficiency. To determine a minimum amount of cooling air, the flow characteristic of the rim seal should be investigated. Numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the flow field near the rim seal region. Both RANS and URANS numerical simulation methods are used in the commercial CFD code ANSYS CFX to analyze axial and radial rim seals. In the simulation, a 1/33 sector is selected as computing region to simulate the flow field and the SST turbulent model is used. The steady and unsteady simulation results of pressure distribution and seal efficiency are analyzed and compared. The computed results show that due to the different geometry configuration, the pressure distribution also shows inconsistency. Unsteady phenomena are observed in both axial and radial type of rim seals. Radial sealing lip can suppress the inherent unsteadiness and interaction between main flow and sealing flow, thus showing higher sealing efficiency. Comparing to steady results using the RANS method; unsteady simulation, using the URANS method, can capture the pressure difference and seal efficiency fluctuation at the disk rim more efficiently. Also, the interaction between the rotor and stator is considered in unsteady simulation, so the unsteady simulation is recommended. The results obtained in the current paper are useful to the investigation and design of turbine rim seals.

SynopsisThis paper, extending the work of Stratford [6] considers a boundary layer with uniform pressure when x < x0, and with the pressure in x > x0 so chosen that the layer is just on the point of separation for all x >x0. The required pressure distribution is shown to beThe displacement and momentum thicknesses are also derived as series in powers of ξ (and log ξ), and the shape parameter H then obtained as a similar series. The continuous change in H from the Blasius value (when ξ = 0) towards the Falkner-Skan [3] separation value is convincingly demonstrated, with the aid of the leading terms of an asymptomatic expansion for large ξ.

Abstract Slipping wheel theory has been extended to predict the dependence of the lateral force and of the aligning torque on the nature of the pressure distribution over the contact patch between the wheel and the ground. Expressions have been derived for both side force and aligning torque as functions of the slip angle under: uniform pressure distribution, which applies to the behavior of an inflated membrane wheel; elliptical distribution, which describes the behavior of a solid wheel; and parabolic distribution. All appear appropriate in some respect to the actual tire.

The Galerkin method is applied to analyze the elastic large deflection behavior of metal plates subject to a combination of in-plane loads such as biaxial loads, edge shear and biaxial inplane bending moments, and uniformly or nonuniformly distributed lateral pressure loads. The motive of the present study was initiated by the fact that metal plates of ships and ship-shaped offshore structures at sea are often subjected to non-uniformly distributed lateral pressure loads arising from cargo or water pressure, together with inplane axial loads or inplane bending moments, but the current practice of the maritime industry usually applies some simplified design methods assuming that the non-uniform pressure distribution in the plates can be replaced by an equivalence of uniform pressure distribution. Applied examples are presented, demonstrating that the current plate design methods of the maritime industry may be inappropriate when the non-uniformity of lateral pressure loads becomes more significant.

Sliding contact in seals is known to change at high sliding speed from initially uniform pressure to a deformed state where contact is restricted to small patches of the surface. An earlier analysis of such contact was based upon the assumption of uniform pressure on the small patches. The present study draws upon a thermoelastic influence function to provide simultaneous equations for pressure on subdivisions of the patches. The final result is that at high wear rate (and, consequently, high traversal speed of the patch along the surface of the more conductive body of the contacting pair) the pressure distribution becomes roughly triangular with the maximum pressure toward the leading edge of the patch.

This paper aims to study the wind flow characteristics and to analyze the wind pressure distribution on the surfaces around an irregular octagonal plan shape building model. There is a central open space in plan to provide more surface area around the building for natural ventilation. Plan area of the building is 300 m2(excluding the open space) and height is 50 m. Steady state flow of wind with 5% turbulence (moderate turbulence) under atmospheric boundary layer has been taken in the study. Numerical simulation with standard k-e model using ANSYS (CFX) software has been used for the purpose. Flow characteristics has been studied in terms of flow separation, reattachment of flow, creation of wakes and vortices. The surface pressure generated around the model has been studied in terms of coefficient of pressure. The model is symmetrical about both the axes in plan. Hence, study for different wind angle of attacks from 0° to 90° @ 30° interval has been conducted. The flow characteristics and unusual or critical coefficient of pressure on surfaces of the model observed have been discussed. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091760 Full Text: PDF

Many classical applications in machine design and recent ones in the field of electrical contacts or micro-contacts involve surface circular contacts which show important edge effects. To optimize these contacts, a uniform pressure distribution must be generated over an important part of contact area. This requires a specifically profiled front surface. Previously, these authors proposed a solution based on an optimum pressure distribution. This leads numerically to a punch profile which is approximated by a polynomial. The pressure generating this polynomial profile is found and compared to initial proposal. Recent investigations establish a correspondence between a polynomial punch surface and generated pressure. Starting from this correspondence, a new general approach is offered. The same optimum pressure as previously is accepted. Its profile is approximated by a function advanced in the paper. This function yields directly an even polynomial punch profile. Formulae for central pressure and normal approach are derived.
