Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the most current technology in the fluid flow study. Experimental methods for predicting the turbomachinery performance involve greater time consumption and financial resources compared to the CFD approach. The purpose of this article is to present the analysis of CFD simulation results in a centrifugal fan. The impeller was calculated using the one-dimensional theory and the volute the principle of constant angular momentum. The ANSYS-CFX software was used for the simulation. The turbulence model adopted was the SST. The simulation provided the characteristic curves, the pressure and velocity distribution, and the static and total pressure values at impeller and volute exit. An analysis of the behavior of the pressure plots, and the loss and recovery of pressure in the volute was performed. The results indicated the characteristic curves, the pressure and velocity distribution were consistent with the turbomachinery theory. The pressure values showed the static pressure at volute exit was smaller than impeller exit for some flow rate. It caused the pressure recovery coefficient negative.  This work indicated to be possible design a centrifugal fan applying the one-dimensional theory and optimize it with the CFD tool.

Abstract This work presents an analysis of the aerodynamic performance of a centrifugal fan with forward curved blades (Sirocco) applied to electric motors. In this analysis were carried out computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental tests for comparison of results. The focus of this analysis is the performance comparison among three different models of general connection interface that are required for the connection between the grids of the rotating and stationary domains of CFD simulation, considering the method adopted by the Ansys CFX, software used as computational tool. Thereby, Frozen Rotor, Stage, and Transient Rotor-Stator were the interface models evaluated. For comparison reference, the experimental data were used to evaluate the performance of each interface models for overall operating range of the fan.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the load characteristics of steel and concrete tubular members under jet fire, with the motivation to investigate the jet fire load characteristics in FPSO topsides. This paper is part of Phase II of the joint industry project on explosion and fire engineering of FPSOs (EFEF JIP) [1]. To obtain reliable load values, jet fire tests were carried out in parallel with a numerical study. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was used to set up an adiabatic wall boundary condition for the jet fire to model the heat transfer mechanism. A concrete tubular member was tested under the assumption that there is no conduction effect from jet fire. A steel tubular member was tested and considered to transfer heat through conduction, convection, and radiation. The temperature distribution, or heat load, was analyzed at specific locations on each type of member. ANSYS CFX [2] and Kameleon FireEx [3] codes were used to obtain similar fire action in the numerical and experimental methods. The results of this study will provide a useful database to determine design values related to jet fire.

Swmm Model

This study proposes a methodology for the calibration of combined sewer overflow (CSO), incorporating the results of the three-dimensional ANSYS CFX model in the SWMM one-dimensional model. The procedure consists of constructing calibration curves in ANSYS CFX that relate the input flow to the CSO with the overflow, to then incorporate them into the SWMM model. The results obtained show that the behavior of the flow over the crest of the overflow weir varies in space and time. Therefore, the flow of entry to the CSO and the flow of excesses maintain a non-linear relationship, contrary to the results obtained in the one-dimensional model. However, the uncertainty associated with the idealization of flow methodologies in one dimension is reduced under the SWMM model with kinematic wave conditions and simulating CSO from curves obtained in ANSYS CFX. The result obtained facilitates the calibration of combined sewer networks for permanent or non-permanent flow conditions, by means of the construction of curves in a three-dimensional model, especially when the information collected in situ is limited.

A one-dimensional analysis of the Taylor impact test [4] has been used to estimate the quasi-static stress for several different alloys. One criticism of this work was the use of Taylor cylinder test data to estimate the quasi-static true stress/true strain compression diagram. The one-dimensional theory does accommodate this estimate. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that this process leads to acceptable results by analyzing a series of high, medium, and low strength materials.

Facing the challenges to develop more efficient solar dryers, this work used the Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to test different configurations of lateral air feeding in a fixed bed solar dryer. Through the simulations, it was found the best configuration of air inlet that provided a better fluid-particle contact. It was made a fixed bed solar dryer, which was tested using soybeans seeds and Moringa oleifera LAM leaves to evaluate the drying rate using two bed configurations: fully opened and partially opened inlets. The CFD results indicated that the air flow rate was more pronounced at the bed top, near the exhaust fan. This can explain the poor drying near the bottom for the experiments performed with all lateral inlets opened. According to the simulation results, the air velocity profile was more homogeneous when the air was fed only near the bottom. So, the use of a partially opened configuration led to a more homogenous solar drying, with a drying rate about 300% higher than the one using the fully opened inlets.

Abstract The response spectra of two strong and two mild earthquakes recorded on the thick lacustrine formation of Mexico City in 1961 and 1962 are presented. The velocity spectra of the two strong ones are compared with studies made independently by Jennings. Discrepancies there-with are explained in terms of wave reflections. A criterion to simplify data reduction and spectrum computations is supported by these comparisons. Velocity and pseudovelocity spectra are practically alike. The period corresponding to the maximum peak and the general shape of these curves agree closely with those predicted applying the one-dimensional theory of multiple wave reflections to the formations in question.

Abstract. On the base of the method of simple iterations generalising methods of semi-inverse one of Saint-Venant, Reissner and Timoshenko the one-dimensional theory is constructed using the example of dynamic equations of a plane problem of elasticity theory for a long elastic strip. The resolving equation of that one-dimensional theory coincides with the equation of beam vibrations. The other problems with unknowns are determined without integration by direct calculations. In the initial equations of the theory of elasticity the terms corresponding to the viscous friction in the Navier-Stokes equations are introduced. The asymptotic characteristics of the unknowns obtained by the method of simple iterations allow to search for a solution in the form of expansions of the unknowns into asymptotic series. The resolving equation contains a term that depends on the coefficient of viscous friction.
