The traditional method for hydrodynamic journal bearing analysis usually applies the lubrication theory based on the Reynolds equation and suitable empirical modifications to cover turbulence, heat transfer, and cavitation. In cases of complex bearing geometries for steam and heavy-duty gas turbines this approach has its obvious restrictions in regard to detail flow recirculation, mixing, mass balance, and filling level phenomena. These limitations could be circumvented by applying a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach resting closer to the fundamental physical laws. The present contribution reports about the state of the art of such a fully three-dimensional multiphase-flow CFD approach including cavitation and air entrainment for high-speed turbo-machinery journal bearings. It has been developed and validated using experimental data. Due to the high ambient shear rates in bearings, the multiphase-flow model for journal bearings requires substantial modifications in comparison to common two-phase flow simulations. Based on experimental data, it is found, that particular cavitation phenomena are essential for the understanding of steam and heavy-duty type gas turbine journal bearings.

High Speed Trains

Large eddy simulation (LES) was made to solve the flow around two simplified CRH2 high speed trains passing by each other at the same speed base on the finite volume method and dynamic layering mesh method and three dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Wind tunnel experimental method of resting train with relative flowing air and dynamic mesh method of moving train were compared. The results of numerical simulation show that the flow field structure around train is completely different between wind tunnel experiment and factual running. Two opposite moving couple of point source and point sink constitute the whole flow field structure during the high speed trains passing by each other. All of streamlines originate from point source (nose) and finish with the closer point sink (tail). The flow field structure around train is similar with different vehicle speed.

Stability Enhancement

In this work, numerical simulation is used to study the stability enhancement of high speed supercavitating hydrofoils. Although supercavitation is known as one of the most effective methods for drag reduction, producing the cavity, either by ventilation or by cavitator at front of the body, may cause some instabilities on cavity surface and thus on the projectile’s motion. Therefore removing these instabilities comes as an important point of discussion. First of all, we calculate the sources of instabilities and measure respective forces and then present some approaches that significantly reduce these instabilities. One of these methods that could produce more stable supercavities is injecting of the air into the cavity unsteadily which varies through the projectile’s surface. This approach is provided by arrays of slots distributed on the projectile’s surface and unsteady injection is modeled over the surface. Furthermore, the position of ventilation, dramatically affects the stability like those in aerodynamics. In all approaches it is assumed that the supercavity covers the whole of the body, however the forces caused by the wakes, formed behind the body are taken into account. The calculation is performed at three cavitation numbers with respective velocities of 40 m/s, 50 m/s, 60 m/s.

The food processing technology using a shock wave can prevent deterioration of the food by heat because it can process food in a short time. Generally, since the shock wave used for food processing is generated by underwater explosion, the load of a shock wave to the food becomes very complicated. Therefore, in order to process safely, it is important to clarify the behaviors of the shock wave and the bubble pulse generated by underwater explosion. In this research, in order to investigate the behavior of the shock wave in the water tank used for food processing, the optical observation experiment and the numerical simulation were performed. In the experiment, the shock wave generated by underwater explosion was observed with the high-speed video camera. The numerical simulation about the behavior of bubble pulse was performed using analysis software LS-DYNA. Comparing and examining were performed about the experimental result and the numerical simulation result. The result of the numerical simulation about the behavior of the shock wave generated by underwater explosion and the shock wave generated by the bubble pulse and the bubble pulse was well in agreement with the experimental result.
