A numerical study into magneto-aerodynamic bleed control systems has been undertaken with the intent of improving the shock swallowing ability of high speed engine intakes. Past research has shown that bleed slots effectively remove sufficient mass flow of air from the system to permit shocks to be swallowed. A magnetic field's influence on a charged boundary layer creates a possibility of sealing a bleed slot when not needed. 2D bleed slots were modeled using structured grids for use with the FLUENT CFD solver. User defined functions were written to simulate charge generation and magnetic field forces. Solutions revealed that bleed slot angles, free stream Mach numbers, pressure ratios, boundary layer displacement thickness, field strength and field position all affect how the system performs. Results have shown that a properly positioned magnetic field can reduce sonic flow coefficients up to 88%, thus justifying further research and investment in wind tunnel experiments.

The purpose of present study is to investigate the effects of field dependent viscosity on swirling flow of an incompressible electrically non-conducting ferrofluid over a porous rotating disk with suction and heat transfer at the wall. Karman's similarity transformations are used to convert the governing boundary layer equations involved in the problem to a system of nonlinear coupled differential equations. The solution of this system is obtained by using a second-order numerical scheme which combines the features of Finite Difference method and Newton's zero finding algorithms. The flow characteristics including velocity and temperature profiles and boundary layer displacement thickness are studied for various values of MFD (magnetic field dependent) viscosity and suction parameter. Beside these, skin friction coefficients and the rate of heat transfer are also calculated on the surface of the disk. Magnetic field dependent viscosity and suction at the surface of porous rotating disk affect significantly the velocity and temperatures fields, rate of heat transfer and other flow characteristics in the generated ferrofluid boundary layer.

A model of a laminar viscous conducting flow, near a dielectric disc in a uniform magnetic field and in the presence of external rotation, is considered, where there is a uniform suction and an axial temperature gradient between the flow and the disc’s surface. It is assumed that the parameters of the suction or the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) interaction are such that the nonlinear inertial terms, related to the circulation flow, are negligible in the differential equations of the MHD boundary layer on a rotating disc. Analysis of the motion and energy equations, taking the dependence of density on temperature into account, is carried out using the Dorodnitsyn transformation. The exact analytical solution for the boundary layer and heat transfer equations is obtained and analysed, neglecting the viscous and Joule dissipation. The dependence of the flow characteristics in the boundary layer on the rate of suction and the magnetic field induction is studied. It is shown that the direction of the radial flow in the boundary layer on a disc can be changed, not only by variation of the ratio between the angular velocities in the external flow and the boundary layer, but also by changing the ratio of the temperatures in these two flows, as well as by varying the hydrodynamic Prandtl number. The approximate calculation of a three-dimensional flow in a rotating cylinder with a braking disc (or lid) is carried out, demonstrating that a magnetic field slows the circulation velocity in a rotating cylinder.

The aerodynamic performance of blade affects the vibration characteristics and stable operation of turbomachinery closely. The aerodynamic performance of turbine stage can be improved by using swept blade. In this paper, the RANS method and the RNG k-? turbulence mode were adopted to investigate the unsteady flow characteristics and excitation force of swept blade stage. According to the results, for the swept blade, the fluid of boundary layer shifts in radial direction due to the influence of geometric construction. It is observed that there is similar wake development for several kinds of stators, and the wake has a notable effect on the boundary layer of the rotor blades. When compared with straight blade, pressure fluctuation of forward-swept blade is decreased while the pressure fluctuation of backward-swept blade is increased. The axial and tangential fundamental frequency excitation force factors of 15?forward-swept blade are 0.139 and 0.052 respectively, which are the least, and all excitation force factors are in the normal range. The excitation factor of the forward-swept blade is decreased compared with straight blade, and the decreasing percentage is closely related to the swept angle. As for backward-swept blades, the situation is the other way around. Additionally, the change of axial excitation factor is more obvious. So the vibration reduction performance of forward-swept blade is better.

Mach Numbers

An experimental and numerical study was performed on an optimized compressor stator cascade designed to operate efficiently at high inlet Mach numbers (M1) ranging from 0.83 to 0.93 (higher supercritical flow conditions). Linear cascade tests confirmed that low losses and high turning were achieved at normal supercritical flow conditions (0.7<M1<0.8), as well as higher supercritical flow conditions (0.83<M1<0.93), both at design and off-design incidences. The performance of this optimized stator cascade is better than those reported in the literature based on Double Circular Arc (DCA) and Controlled Diffusion Airfoil (CDA) blades, where losses increase rapidly for M1>0.83. A two-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes solver was applied to the cascade to characterize the performance and flow behavior. Good agreement was obtained between the CFD and the experiment. Experimental loss characteristics, blade surface Mach numbers, shadowgraphs, along with CFD flowfield simulations, were presented to elucidate the flow physics. It is found that low losses are due to the well-controlled boundary layer, which is attributed to an optimum flow structure associated with the blade profile. The multishock pattern and the advantageous pressure gradient distribution on the blade are the key reasons of keeping the boundary layer from separating, which in turn accounts for the low losses at the higher supercritical flow conditions.

This paper presents the results of a new experimental technique to determine the structure of train slipstreams. The highly turbulent, nonstationary nature of the slipstreams make their measurement difficult and time consuming as in order to identify the trends of behavior several passings of the train have to be made. This new technique has been developed in order to minimize considerably the measuring time. It consists of a rotating rail rig to which a 1/50 scale model of a four car high speed train is attached. Flow velocities were measured using two multihole Cobra probes, positioned close to the model sides and top. Tests were carried out at different model speeds, although if the results were suitably normalized, the effect of model speed was not significant. Velocity time histories for each configuration were obtained from ensemble averages of the results of a large number of runs (of the order of 80). From these it was possible to define velocity and turbulence intensity contours along the train, as well as the displacement thickness of the boundary layer, allowing a more detailed analysis of the flow. Also, wavelet analysis was carried out on different runs to reveal details of the unsteady flow structure around the vehicle. It is concluded that, although this methodology introduces some problems, the results obtained with this technique are in good agreement with previous model and full scale measurements.

Hydraulic characteristics of orifice plates with multiple triangular holes in hydrodynamic cavitation reactor were experimentally investigated by use of three dimensional particle image velocimetry (PIV), high speed photography, electronic multi-pressure scanivalve and pressure data acquisition system, and numerically simulated by CFD software Flow 3D in this paper. Effects of number, arrangement and ratio of holes on hydraulic characteristics of the orifice plates were considered. Effects of arrangement and ratio of holes and flow velocity ahead of plate on cavitation number and velocity profile were compared. Distribution of turbulent kinetic energy and similarity of velocity profile were analyzed. And characteristics of cavitating flow downstream of the orifice plate were photographically observed by high speed camera. Also, a comparison with flow characteristics of orifice plate with hybrid holes (circle, square and triangle) was made.

Boundary layers are affected by a number of different factors. Transition of the boundary layer is very sensitive to changes in geometry, velocity and turbulence levels. An understanding of the flow characteristics over a flat plate subjected to changes in geometry, velocity and turbulence is essential to try and understand boundary layer transition. Experiments were conducted in Low Turbulence wind tunnel (LTWT) at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU), China to understand the effects due to changes in geometric profiles on boundary layer transition. The leading edge of the flat plate was changed and several different configurations ranging from Aspect Ratio (AR) 1 to 12 were used. Turbulence level was kept constant at 0.02% and the velocity was kept at default value of 30 m/s. The results indicated that as the AR increases, boundary layer thickness reduces at the same location along the plate. The displacement thickness shows that the fluctuations increase with an increase with AR which denotes the effect of leading edge on turbulence spot’s production. For AR≥4, an increase in AR led to an elongation of the transition zone and a delay in transition onset. Nomenclature
