In this paper, a parallel Eulerian hydrocode for the simulation of large scale complicated explosion and impact problem is developed. The data dependency in the parallel algorithm is studied in particular. As a test, the three dimensional numerical simulation of the explosion field in an unlimited atmosphere is performed. The numerical results are in good agreement with the empirical results, indicating that the proposed parallel algorithm in this paper is valid. Finally, the parallel speedup and parallel efficiency under different dividing domain areas are analyzed.

Good Agreement

The performance of centrifugal fans is considerably influenced by the design of tongue at the re-circulation port. The flow in the volute of a centrifugal fan was studied both experimentally and numerically. In this experiment, flow angle, pressure and velocity profiles were measured at a large number of locations in the volute. The flow field in the volute passage was analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The flow was assumed to be three dimensional, turbulent and steady. The numerical simulation produced qualitatively good agreement with the experimental result. The results from experiment and numerical simulation indicated that the adoption of a re-circulating flow port improved fan performance for all flow conditions. In addition, the existence of strong secondary flow was apparent at the cross-section of the volute passage.

Strong Curvature

The numerical simulation of the developing turbulent flow through a three-dimensional curved pipe with strong curvature is presented. This numerical simulation is to investigate the flow structure of pipe-flow through a 90° bent pipe with the aid of RNG k-ε turbulence model, which had been well validated for high screwed curvature flow. Dean Motion downstream of the bend are found and presented. And the numerical result demonstrates that Dean motions co-exist with large scale swirling motions inside the bend pipe. Snapshot of velocity and pressure reveals that the structures found upstream of the bend persist after the bend and survive the strong secondary motions induced by the pipe curvature.

Simulation Results

This paper suggests a large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation method to investigate the fluorine pollution near a slag yard. The large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation method included an experimental investigation, laboratory studies of solute transport during absorption of water by soil, and large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations of solute transport. The experimental results showed that the concentrations of fluorine from smelting slag and construction waste soil were well over the discharge limit of 0.1 kg/m3 recommended by Chinese guidelines. The key parameters of the materials used for large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations were determined based on an experimental investigation, laboratory studies, and soil saturation of survey results and back analyses. A large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation of solute transport was performed, and its results were compared to the experiment results. The simulation results showed that the clay near the slag had a high saturation of approximately 0.9, consistent with the survey results. Comparison of the results showed that the results of the numerical simulation of solute transport and the test results were nearly identical, and that the numerical simulation results could be used as the basis for groundwater environmental evaluation.

In this study, the effect of solid-liquid volumetric ratio in laminar flow of nanofluid has been investigated numerically. The conservation equations are utilized in three dimensional elliptical forms for laminar and steady flow, and the effects of adding aluminum oxide nanoparticles to water based-fluid are studied. First, the influence of solid-liquid volumetric ratio on the secondary flow vortices, non-dimensional temperature is investigated for a flow with a fixed low Reynolds number and different Grashof numbers in a horizontal pipe. Then, the effect of variation in solid-liquid volumetric ratio on Nusselt number and convective heat transfer coefficient along the pipe is studied. The results of this study are in good agreement with the current literatures.

Abstract Motion of liquid pouring from a beverage can is numerically studied. A liquid is poured from a can which is rotated at a prescribed angular speed. The flow is simulated by solving the unsteady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. An experiment under the same condition is also carried out to validate the computational result. The result shows that, when the can is tipped, the liquid flows over the lid of the can and is once obstructed by the rim of the lid. The numerical result is in good agreement with the experimental result. The effect of condensation formed on a can surface is also considered. The effect of condensation is taken into account by adjusting a contact angle. The liquid pouring from a can trickles down along the can body. The computation reproduces these experimental observations.

<p>The calving of large-scale icebergs into the sea can generate a local tsunami that may threaten coastal communities or passing ships. A three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics model of rigid-body–fluid system is established to simulate the spatial wave generated by calving iceberg. The model is tested with simulated waves induced by a cube iceberg fall into the water body. Good agreement is obtained between simulation results and experimental data. The generation and evolution processes, and the near flow-field characteristics of the waves are analyzed. The simulation results show that waves generated in iceberg calving can generate not only a huge leading wave but also notable tailing waves. The initial propagation direction of the leading wave is determined by iceberg geometry, but as the leading wave propagates away, the water level displacement gradually develops into a semicircle wavefront which is irrelevant to iceberg geometry.</p>

A numerical procedure to predict the impeller–volute interaction in a single-stage centrifugal compressor is presented. The method couples a three-dimensional unsteady flow calculation in the impeller with a three-dimensional time-averaged flow calculation in the volute through an iterative updating of the boundary conditions on the interface of both calculation domains. The method has been used to calculate the flow in a compressor with an external volute at off-design operation. Computed circumferential variations of flow angles, total temperature, and pressure are shown and compared with measurements. The good agreement between the predictions and measurements confirms the validity of the approach.
