Ozone Contactor

A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model of an ozone contacting chamber in the Umgeni Water Wiggins Waterworks in Durban, South Africa, has been set up and verified by experimental tracer tests, as part of an investigation to optimise the control and disinfection efficiency of the contactor. The effect of gas injection was modelled by increasing the turbulent intensity at the reactor inlet. Experimental tracer responses which were used as partial verification of the model correspond very closely to model predictions.

Contaminant Distribution

This paper presents a study on improvements of multi-zone models for predicting building contaminant distribution by combining a multi-zone model with a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model. The motivation is to avoid the long computations in the CFD model that are required for predicting concentrations in entire buildings. Two cases are investigated using the combined model and the results are compared to reliable experimental or CFD data. The comparisons show that the combined model provides better results than the multi-zone model alone in one of the cases, while in the other no major improvements were observed. Further investigation and development of the combined model is needed.

In this paper, a multizone model is developed to investigate the performance of an economizer under all conditions. The model primarily determines the economizer’s distribution parameters under all conditions with a small computational cost. Both the steady-state and dynamic behavior are calculated. These results are shown to be accurate and reliable using a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model and the operational data obtained from a 600 MW boiler unit in Hubei province, China. Additionally, the model is used to predict the distribution characteristics during some fault conditions.

A Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was developed considering three geometries for primary parallel fan stations that have already been developed, implemented, and are currently in operation within Chilean mines. To standardize the comparison, the same primary fan was used in all the simulations with a unique set of settings (speed, blade angle, and density). The CFD representation was used to determine the operating point per configuration and compare the performances in terms of airflow and pressure delivered. This approach allowed ranking primary fan station geometry based on resistance curve and energy consumption of the fan. This paper presents the results obtained through the CFD simulations and the corresponding primary fans operating points of each configuration: symmetrical branches (SB), overlap branches (OB), and run around (RA) bypass. The RA configuration was identified as the best-performing station geometry on the lowest frictional and shock pressure losses, highest airflow delivery, and lowest energy cost. The results are discussed, considering pressure, velocity, and vector contours to understand the fluid dynamics phenomena occurring inside the station. The capital cost involved in the development of each primary parallel station was considered in the analysis in addition to the energy cost to determine the economic configuration over time.

The paper established three-dimensional Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model of the oil-air mixture in the gearbox after meshing by ICEM CFD simulated the turbulence model by the CFD. The method of calculate the windage power loss (WPL) of the spur gear were put forward. In order to reduced the WPL, compared the results between the CFD model with different modulus、clearance of the shroud and radius of the modification of gear top. The modulus is major parameter to WPL; the gear with shroud have lower WPL , WPL of the tooth flank and clearance of the tooth flank shroud do not show the proportional relationship, the gear with smallest clearance of gear side have lowest WPL，the modification of gear top can reduce the eddy scale which can reduce the WPL.

Transonic Rotor

A gas turbine engine consists of three primary components: a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine. The operating range, performance, and reliability of gas turbine engines are limited by aerodynamic instabilities that occur in the compressor at low mass flow rates. Two of such compressor instabilities are rotating stall and surge. The stabilization of compression systems by means of active control has been demonstrated on several research compressors using different actuators such as inlet guide vanes, bleed valves, and air injection to manipulate the compressor flow field. This paper presents experimental and model simulated results of the steady and unsteady behaviors of air injection in high speed axial flow compressors that can be used for feasibility studies and control algorithm development. A control oriented model of the unsteady response of the transonic compressor blade rows to steady air injection is presented. This behavior was modeled by one-dimensional flow in a diffusing passage subject to a time varying inlet flow condition in the rotor relative reference frame. The one-dimensional model was then used to provide simplified input boundary conditions for a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model that predicted aerodynamic loading on a transonic rotor blade due to steady air injection. The aerodynamic loading on a transonic rotor blade due to steady air injection were then simulated from the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model. The simulation results for an evenly circumferentially spaced discrete number of jet actuators show that the fluctuating loading due to jet injection are non-sinusoidal and periodic. Total pressure, total temperature, and absolute flow angle survey measurements that map out the effect of high pressure air injection on a transonic compressor rotor for different levels of steady injection and different orientations are also presented.
