Reliability and maintenance analysis of transport machines hydraulic drives, basically focused to power units: pumps, cylinders etc., without taking in to account junction elements. Therefore, this paper proposes a research analysis on high-pressure hoses and junctions during technical maintenance. Comparative analysis of fluid behavior and energy efficiency inside non-repaired and repaired high-pressure hoses is presented in this research. Theoretical and experimental research results for hydraulic processes inside high-pressure hose is based on the numerical simulations using Navier–Stokes equations and experimental measurement of fluid flow pressure inside high-pressure hoses. Research of fluid flow dynamics in the hydraulic system was made with main assumptions: system flow rate in the range from 5 to 100 l/min, diameter of the hoses and repairing fitting are 3/8". The pressure drops, power losses, flow coefficients at non-repaired and after maintenance hose was obtained as a result. Simulation results were verified by running physical experiments to measure the pressure losses.

The article presents the findings of theoretical and experimental research on hydraulic processes occurring in the hydraulic drives of transport machines. The paper analyses the influence of hydrodynamic processes on the flow characteristics of fluid considering different hydraulic fitting connections. The performed analysis is based on numerical simulations using Navier–Stokes equations for the velocity field. The dynamics of fluid flow in the hydraulic system has been investigated taking into account the main parameters like system flow rate in the range of 5 to 100 L/min, the diameter of the pipeline making 1/2” and fitting standards DKOL, ORFS, BSP and JIS. As a result, pressure drop, power losses, resistance and flow coefficients at different fitting connections have been obtained. The article compares the provided results with the findings given employing the calculation method for the standard of equivalent length fitting. To simulate fluid flow, a mesh independence study and turbulence calculations have been performed. Simulation results have been examined conducting physical experiments on measuring pressure losses. Each experimental research includes three measurements of connections bearing in mind each fitting standard.

Hydrodynamic Parameters

In order to reduce the energy consumption, increase the reliability of the hydraulic drive of construction machines and mechanisms, studies of the hydrodynamic parameters of the viscous fluid flow in a flat diffuser during the oscillation of one of the walls of the channel are carried out. Navier-Stokes equations together with the continuity equation are used to construct velocity and pressure fields. The problem is solved in polar coordinates with boundary conditions. The General solution of the problem, which corresponds to the self-similar boundary condition on the moving wall, is obtained. The radial velocity profile has sections of forward and reverse currents and is a standing wave along the angular coordinate. The forces acting on the movable and stationary walls of the diffuser are determined.

Unsteady flow in a transonic, single-stage, high-pressure, axial turbine has been investigated numerically by solving the URANS (Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) equations with the SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model. Interest has focused on the identification and effects of the quasi-stationary vane and blade horseshoe vortices, vane and blade passage vortices, vane and blade trailing edge vortices, and blade tip leakage vortices. Moreover, two types of unsteady vortices, not discussed explicitly in the previous literature, have been identified and termed “axial gap vortices” and “crown vortices”. All vortices have been clearly and distinctly identified using a modified form of the Q criterion, which is less sensitive to the set threshold than the original version. The use of pathlines and iso-contours of static pressure, axial vorticity and entropy has been further exploited to distinguish the different types of vortices from each other and to mark their senses of rotation and strengths. The influence of these vortices on the entropy distribution at the outlet has been investigated. The observed high total pressure losses in the turbine at blade midspan have been connected to the action of passage vortices. The formation and disappearance processes of unsteady vortices located in the spacing between the stator and the rotor have been time-resolved. These vortices are roughly aligned with the leading edges of the rotor blades and their existence depends on the position of the blade with respect to the upstream vanes. In addition, the present study focuses on the unsteady blade loading that influences vibratory stresses. Contours of the time-dependent surface pressure on the rotor blade have demonstrated the presence of large pressure fluctuations near the front of the blade suction sides; these pressure fluctuations have been associated with the periodic passages of shock waves originating at the vane trailing edges.

Analytical analysis of fluid flow in cylindrical microchannels subjected to uniform wall injection at various Reynolds numbers is presented. The classical Navier-Stokes equations are used in the present study. Mathematically, using an appropriate change of variable, Navier-Stokes equations are transformed to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The governing equations are solved analytically using series solution method. The presented analytical results can be used for the prediction of velocity profiles and pressure drops in the cylindrical micro channels. The results are validated against available data in the literature and have shown good agreement.

Homogenized Model

The interaction between a fluid flow and a transversely isotropic porous medium is described. A homogenized model is used to treat the flow field in the porous region, and different interface conditions, needed to match solutions at the boundary between the pure fluid and the porous regions, are evaluated. Two problems in different flow regimes (laminar and turbulent) are considered to validate the system, which includes inertia in the leading-order equations for the permeability tensor through a Oseen approximation. The components of the permeability, which characterize microscopically the porous medium and determine the flow field at the macroscopic scale, are reasonably well estimated by the theory, both in the laminar and the turbulent case. This is demonstrated by comparing the model’s results to both experimental measurements and direct numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations which resolve the flow also through the pores of the medium.

Generic Design

The flow field of high pressure compressors is strongly influenced by secondary flow phenomena which lead to performance degradations. A significant fraction of the associated losses arises from tip as well as hub clearance vortices and their interaction with the main flow. In order to decrease the negative effect of clearance vortices, the application of vanelets, winglet-like structures attached to the tips of a cantilevered stator, is studied within the present paper. Different vanelets of generic design are applied to the stator and evaluated with respect to their aerodynamic effect by comparison against a datum configuration. The model comprises the investigated stator enclosed between two rotating blade rows. Detailed insight into the underlying phenomena is provided by numerical investigations with the compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The structures led to an increased efficiency at the aerodynamic design point due to the suppression of the clearance mass flow in combination with a reduced vortex cross section. Under strongly throttled conditions a so called vanelet corner stall developed, which induced blockage near hub. Thus the main flow was displaced towards casing enhancing stable operation of the downstream rotor. Surge margin was consequently increased.

Abstract Hydraulic pumps, which reach pressures up to 3000 bar, are often realized as plunger-piston type pumps. In the case of a common-rail pump for diesel injection systems, the plunger is driven by a cam-tappet construction and the contact during suction stroke is maintained by a helical spring. Many hydraulic piston-based high pressure pumps include gap seals, which are formed by small clearances between the two surfaces of the piston and the bushing. Usually the gap height is in the magnitude of several micrometers. Typical radial gaps are between 0.5 and 1 per mil of the nominal diameter. These gap seals are used to allow and maintain pressure build up in the piston chamber. When the gap is pressurized, a special flow regime is reached. For the description of this particular flow the Reynolds equation, which is a simplification of the Navier-Stokes equations, can be used as done in the state of the art. Furthermore, if the pressure in the gap is high enough — 500 bar and above — fluid-structure interactions must be taken into account. Pressure levels above 1500 or 2000 bar indicate the necessity for solving the energy equation of the fluid phase and the rigid bodies surrounding it. In any case, the fluid properties such as density and viscosity, have to be modelled in a pressure dependent manner. This means, a compressible flow is described in the sealing gap. Viscosity changes in magnitudes while density remains in the same magnitude, but nevertheless changes about 30 %. These facts must be taken into account when solving the Reynolds equation. In this paper the authors work out that the Reynolds equation is not suitable for every piston-bushing gap seal in hydraulic applications. It will be shown that remarkable errors are made, when the inertia terms in the Navier-Stokes equations are neglected, especially in high pressure applications. To work out the influence of the inertia terms in these flows, two simulation models are built up and calculated for the physical problem. One calculates the compressible Reynolds equation neglecting the fluid inertia. The other model, taking the fluid inertia into account, calculates the coupled Navier-Stokes equations on the same geometrical boundaries. Here, the so called SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm is used. The discretization is realized with the Finite Volume Method. Afterwards, the solutions of both models are compared to investigate the influence of the inertia terms on the flow in these specific high pressure applications.
