Bubble behavior in narrow channel can be quite different with that in conventional channel. When the bubble reaches a size which is comparable with the channel dimension, the bubble is confined by the channel wall. This influences the bubble evolution significantly in the narrow channel. Then the characteristics of pressure drop in the narrow channel is affected significantly. In order to investigate the effect of bubble behavior on flow boiling pressure drop, a visual study was carried out with a high speed camera (5,000 frame per second was used) to record the bubble behavior. It is found that the OSV (Onset of Significant Vapor) emerges much earlier in narrow channel when comparing with that in conventional channel. A revised correlation for prediction of the real void fraction is proposed based on the experimental investigation. It is also found that the bubble behavior affects the pressure drop in narrow channel significantly, and the channel will be blocked easily when the confined vapor cluster appears. The pressure drop, however, dose not increase linearly with increasing void fraction, and the minimum pressure drop occurs with 60% void fraction. With increasing void fraction, the bubble behavior is more intense and turbulent, which induces more severe fluctuation in pressure drop.

We also observed the dynamic contact state of gear meshing in operating conditions with a high-speed camera. The temperature distribution when driving was measured by thermography. Contact ratio is often used to show contact state, but there are currently no reports that describe the dynamic contact ratio of FRP gears although there are some reports on plastic gears. We therefore considered a contact ratio formula based on a new contact model that the dynamic real deflections of the gear tooth. The temperature distribution measurement was done from the side and the upper surface of the gear. The characteristics of heat generation on the surface of each gear tooth were analyzed, and the temperature distribution was analyzed according to the time and each point of the tooth. (1) FRP gears over heated as a result of driving by the metal gear for a long time. The rise in temperature was rapid and was compounded by heat dissipated from the metal gear. (2) The pitch point of the FRP gear tooth had the highest temperature. The reason for this is that the hysteresis heating is large. It is not easy for the gear to dissipate heat. (3) The temperature rose as a result of hysteresis heating. At high torque, the back surface contact and deflection of the teeth also increased because the gear became viscoelastic.

AbstractObjects moving at high speed along complex trajectories often appear in videos, especially videos of sports. Such objects travel a considerable distance during exposure time of a single frame, and therefore, their position in the frame is not well defined. They appear as semi-transparent streaks due to the motion blur and cannot be reliably tracked by general trackers. We propose a novel approach called Tracking by Deblatting based on the observation that motion blur is directly related to the intra-frame trajectory of an object. Blur is estimated by solving two intertwined inverse problems, blind deblurring and image matting, which we call deblatting. By postprocessing, non-causal Tracking by Deblatting estimates continuous, complete, and accurate object trajectories for the whole sequence. Tracked objects are precisely localized with higher temporal resolution than by conventional trackers. Energy minimization by dynamic programming is used to detect abrupt changes of motion, called bounces. High-order polynomials are then fitted to smooth trajectory segments between bounces. The output is a continuous trajectory function that assigns location for every real-valued time stamp from zero to the number of frames. The proposed algorithm was evaluated on a newly created dataset of videos from a high-speed camera using a novel Trajectory-IoU metric that generalizes the traditional Intersection over Union and measures the accuracy of the intra-frame trajectory. The proposed method outperforms the baselines both in recall and trajectory accuracy. Additionally, we show that from the trajectory function precise physical calculations are possible, such as radius, gravity, and sub-frame object velocity. Velocity estimation is compared to the high-speed camera measurements and radars. Results show high performance of the proposed method in terms of Trajectory-IoU, recall, and velocity estimation.

In order to balance the low emission and wide stabilization for lean premixed prevaporized (LPP) combustion, the centrally staged layout is preferred in advanced aero-engine combustors. However, compared with the conventional combustor, it is more difficult for the centrally staged combustor to light up as the main stage air layer will prevent the pilot fuel droplets arriving at igniter tip. The goal of the present paper is to study the effect of the main stage air on the ignition of the centrally staged combustor. Two cases of the main swirler vane angle of the TeLESS-II combustor, 20 deg and 30 deg are researched. The ignition results at room inlet temperature and pressure show that the ignition performance of the 30 deg vane angle case is better than that of the 20 deg vane angle case. High-speed camera, planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF), and computational fluids dynamics (CFD) are used to better understand the ignition results. The high-speed camera has recorded the ignition process, indicated that an initial kernel forms just adjacent the liner wall after the igniter is turned on, the kernel propagates along the radial direction to the combustor center and begins to grow into a big flame, and then it spreads to the exit of the pilot stage, and eventually stabilizes the flame. CFD of the cold flow field coupled with spray field is conducted. A verification of the CFD method has been applied with PLIF measurement, and the simulation results can qualitatively represent the experimental data in terms of fuel distribution. The CFD results show that the radial dimensions of the primary recirculation zone of the two cases are very similar, and the dominant cause of the different ignition results is the vapor distribution of the fuel. The concentration of kerosene vapor of the 30 deg vane angle case is much larger than that of the 20 deg vane angle case close to the igniter tip and along the propagation route of the kernel, therefore, the 30 deg vane angle case has a better ignition performance. For the consideration of the ignition performance, a larger main swirler vane angle of 30 deg is suggested for the better fuel distribution when designing a centrally staged combustor.
