In this paper, a transient numerical simulation method is used to investigate the effects of the two furnace configurations on the thermal field: the shape of the melt–crystal (M/C) interface and the thermal stress in the growing multicrystalline ingot. First, four different power ratios (top power to side power) are investigated, and then three positions (i.e., the vertical, angled, and horizontal positions) of the insulation block are compared with the conventional setup. The power ratio simulation results show that with a descending power ratio, the M/C interface becomes flatter and the thermal stress in the solidified ingot is lower. In our cases, a power ratio of 1:3–1:4 is more feasible for high-quality ingot. The block’s position simulation results indicate that the horizontal block can more effectively reduce the radial temperature gradient, resulting in a flatter M/C interface and lower thermal stress.

Numerical simulation method is employed in the article to analyze the stress field of thick 7B04 aluminum alloy board during manufacturing procedure of solution treatment, calendaring and stretching. The simulation results show that the surface of the board endures compressive stress while the core segment endures tensile stress, and the distribution of the stress is very inhomogeneous. The calendaring procedure helps to decrease the stress and redistribute the stress uniformly, but it also leads to stress concentration at the two ends of the board, which engenders bad influence on the subsequent processing. The board deforms plastically when being stretched, thus the stress decreases greatly and is redistributed uniformly.

This paper suggests a large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation method to investigate the fluorine pollution near a slag yard. The large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation method included an experimental investigation, laboratory studies of solute transport during absorption of water by soil, and large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations of solute transport. The experimental results showed that the concentrations of fluorine from smelting slag and construction waste soil were well over the discharge limit of 0.1 kg/m3 recommended by Chinese guidelines. The key parameters of the materials used for large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations were determined based on an experimental investigation, laboratory studies, and soil saturation of survey results and back analyses. A large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation of solute transport was performed, and its results were compared to the experiment results. The simulation results showed that the clay near the slag had a high saturation of approximately 0.9, consistent with the survey results. Comparison of the results showed that the results of the numerical simulation of solute transport and the test results were nearly identical, and that the numerical simulation results could be used as the basis for groundwater environmental evaluation.

Uniformity of airflow distribution in a unidirectional flow cleanroom has been studied experimentally and numerically. The influence of the height of the plenum chamber and the velocity of airflow introduced into the chamber on the airflow uniformity are investigated experimentally. In addition, a numerical simulation method to predict airflow uniformity is proposed, taking into account the characteristics of the pressure loss of the filter. The calculation domain in this study includes not only the cleanroom but also the plenum chamber and the exhaust chamber. The validity of the numerical method is also verified by comparing the simulation results with the experiments. Finally, the numerical method is used to obtain an appropriate height for the plenum chamber.

On the basis of previous work, the simulation condition of cold store was improved to reduce calculation error. The SIMPLE algorithm and Boussineq assumption were used and the turbulent intensity was also set. The numerical simulation results reflected that the temperature distribution was closer to the previous experimental results after using new method. The error between simulation values and experimental values was decreased. The simulation result showed that temperature of corner was highest in the cold store. The temperature change of the cold store in the cooling process could be better predicted by using modified simulation method and the accuracy of numerical simulation of cold store in the cooling process could also be validated.

Debris flows are a common natural disaster in mountainous areas and often cause severe casualties and property loss. Debris-flow run-out effects analysis can provide an idea of the spatial risks posed to the downstream area of a debris flow, which is extremely important for local populations’ lives, disaster mitigation and planning the layout of economic construction. The objective of this study is to develop a new method to quantify debris flow run-out effects by combining debris flow simulation results and data for different types of land use within the inundated area. After a three-dimensional numerical simulation platform was established, the numerical simulation method was applied as a modeling tool to simulate the inundated areas and final buried depths under rainfalls with different return periods. The simulated result for flow depth under a 100-year return period rainfall event was validated based on field measurements. Finally, the debris-flow run-out effects under different return periods were analyzed by combining the simulation results and land use data. The proposed method can enhance the accuracy of debris-flow spatial risk assessment and has great value for application.

Abstract To clarify the densification law of dry pressed MgTiO3 ceramic body during pressureless sintering, SOVS model modified with creep characteristics was embedded into finite element software Abaqus. The selected model can effectively express the grain boundary characteristics and densification mechanism. The change law of relative density, shrinkage rate, sintering stress and grain size of MgTiO3 cylindrical specimens were investigated by the above numerical simulation method. It showed that the average relative density of ceramic body rose from 60% to 97% and the shrinkage rate resepectively reached 17.28% and 11.99% in axial and radial direction. The average grain size increased from 1μm to 6 μm. In order to verify the accuracy of the simulation results, corresponding sintering experiments on cylindrical specimens were carried out to obtain actual sintering densities and shrinkage rates. It showed that the errors of relative density and shrinkage is below 5% and 2%. Grain growth trend was also basically consistent with the simulation results. After that, the above numerical simulation method was applied into the prediction of fabricating MgTiO3 filter with complex structure. Therefore, the present work provided a reliable numerical simulation method to predict the densification behavior of MgTiO3 ceramics during the pressureless sintering process, which was helpful to design and fabricate microwave dielectric products.

The typical subway island-platform of Beijing as research object was present in the article. Taking two-equation turbulence model and giving boundary conditions of piston wind and train heat load change with the time, adopting numerical method simulates air distribution of air-conditioning and ventilation system in subway. The results indicate that piston wind effect has significant impact on the area of platform entrance and staircase entrance while station with safety doors can obstruct piston effect at a certain degree. Simultaneity, the supply- exhaust air system offers relatively uniform temperature and velocity field, which meets requirements of transitory comfort for passengers. It is found that numerical simulation method can simulate and forecast air distribution of air conditioning and ventilating system in subway station. In conclusion, it can provide the reference for optimizing air-conditioning and ventilation system, improving thermal environment designing of subway station.

The article presents a new kinematic method of numerical simulation intended for establishing dimensions of safe manoeuvring areas of bends in various types of fairways for vessels of specific parameters. The method consists of multiple numerical simulations of a ship’s passage (ship’s centre of gravity) through a bend, representing the entire physically possible movement of the ship, and an analysis of simulation results. The developed method was verified on the bends of the Świnoujście–Szczecin fairway, by comparing the results to the exact simulation method of a ship’s movements. The relatively high accuracy and low costs of the method allow it to be used in a concept design of built or modern waterway systems.
