The measured flow field and temperature field near a three-dimensional asymmetric contour endwall employed in a linear blade cascade are presented with and without film-cooling flow on the endwall. Flow field temperature and Nusselt number distributions along the asymmetric endwall with wall heating and no film-cooling flow are also reported to show local high heat transfer region on the endwall and justify the locations of the coolant holes. Adiabatic film-cooling effectiveness along the endwall is then measured to indicate the local effects of the coolant jets. The near endwall flow field and temperature field provide the coolant flow behavior and the interaction of coolant jets with the boundary layer flow. Thus, the local film-cooling effectiveness can be explained with the coolant jet trajectories. The measurements are obtained at the Reynolds number of 2.30×105 based on blade actual chord and inlet velocity, coolant-to-free stream temperature ratio of 0.93, and coolant-to-free stream density ratio of 1.06. The cascade employs the hub side blade section and passage geometry of the first stage rotor of GE-E3 turbine engine. The contour endwall profile is employed on the bottom endwall only in the cascade. The blowing ratio of the film-cooling flow varies from 1.0 to 2.4 from 71 discrete cylindrical holes located in the contour endwall. The three-dimensional profile of the endwall varies in height in both the pitchwise and axial directions. The flow field is quantified with the streamwise vorticity and turbulent intensity, pitchwise static pressure difference, flow yaw angle, and pitchwise velocity. Both the flow field and temperature data indicate that the coolant jets cover more distance in the pitchwise and axial direction in the passage as the blowing ratio increases. Thus, the local and average film-cooling effectiveness increase with the blowing ratio.

Abstract Wet clutch is widely used in vehicle power transmission, especially in dual clutch automatic transmission. However, due to the unclear understanding of clutch temperature distribution and its influencing factors, the clutch is prone to excessive temperature rise or even wear under severe working conditions or continuous starting conditions. In this paper, the finite element model of stress field distribution of friction pair is established by considering the non-uniform fixed constraint of clamping spring and the non-uniform contact of hydraulic cylinder. Based on the inclined groove structure of the friction plate, the numerical calculation model of the flow field in the groove is established by the finite volume method. On this basis, considering the time-varying characteristics of stress distribution and cooling flow field distribution of clutch friction pairs, a numerical calculation model of clutch temperature field is established, and a multi-field coupling calculation method of clutch is proposed. The distribution of temperature field under different working conditions during clutch engagement is obtained by numerical calculation. The results show that the temperature rise of clutch depends on the target speed of the clutch driving end and the load on the driven end. The research results can provide guidance for the design and control of the clutch.

Power Spilt Device (PSD) is the key power component of Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). It is very important to simulate and analyze the temperature field and stress field of PSD gear train. The thermal-mechanical coupling analysis is difficult, as it involves the interaction between temperature field and stress field. This paper presents the process of the thermal-mechanical coupling simulation in ABAQUS, and tooth surface temperature and contact stress are obtained and analyzed.

A heightened awareness of the importance of natural convective cooling as a driving factor in design and thermal management of aircraft braking systems has emerged in recent years. As a result, increased attention is being devoted to understanding the buoyancy-driven flow and heat transfer occurring within the complex air passageways formed by the wheel and brake components, including the interaction of the internal and external flow fields. Through application of contemporary computational methods in conjunction with thorough experimentation, robust numerical simulations of these three-dimensional processes have been developed and validated. This has provided insight into the fundamental physical mechanisms underlying the flow and yielded the tools necessary for efficient optimization of the cooling process to improve overall thermal performance. In the present work, a brief overview of aircraft brake thermal considerations and formulation of the convection cooling problem are provided. This is followed by a review of studies of natural convection within closed and open-ended annuli and the closely related investigation of inboard and outboard subdomains of the braking system. Relevant studies of natural convection in open rectangular cavities are also discussed. Both experimental and numerical results obtained to date are addressed, with emphasis given to the characteristics of the flow field and the effects of changes in geometric parameters on flow and heat transfer. Findings of a concurrent numerical and experimental investigation of natural convection within the wheel and brake assembly are presented. These results provide, for the first time, a description of the three-dimensional aircraft braking system cooling flow field.

In the production process of large-diameter seamless steel pipes, the blank heating quality before roll piercing has an important effect on whether subsequently conforming piping is produced. Obtaining accurate pipe blank heating temperature fields is the basis for establishing and optimizing a seamless pipe heating schedule. In this paper, the thermal process in a regenerative heating furnace was studied using fluent software, and the distribution laws of the flow field in the furnace and of the temperature field around the pipe blanks were obtained and verified experimentally. The heating furnace for pipe blanks was analyzed from multiple perspectives, including overall flow field, flow fields at different cross sections, and overall temperature field. It was found that the changeover process of the regenerative heating furnace caused the temperature in the upper part of the furnace to fluctuate. Under the pipe blanks, the gas flow was relatively thin, and the flow velocity was relatively low, facilitating the formation of a viscous turbulent layer and thereby inhibiting heat exchange around the pipe blanks. The mutual interference between the gas flow from burners and the return gas from the furnace tail flue led to different flow velocity directions at different positions, and such interference was relatively evident in the middle part of the furnace. A temperature “layering” phenomenon occurred between the upper and lower parts of the pipe blanks. The study in this paper has some significant usefulness for in-depth exploration of the characteristics of regenerative heating furnaces for steel pipes.

An inner-outer coupled cooling technology of molten steel for 1240×200mm slab continuous casting, that is to set an inner cooler—U shape pipes in the mold, is put forward in order to enhance the efficiency of transmitting heat and improve inner structure of billet. The flow status and solidification status of molten steel under coupling flow field and temperature field in inner-outer coupled cooling mold are simulated by using fluid dynamics software, and compare with those in traditional mold. It is found that setting inner cooler in the mold can make molten steel flow status even, which is favorable to floating up of the inclusion, quickening the solidification of steel liquid and improving the quality of billet.

Saturated frozen soil is composed of soil, unfrozen water and ice, whose subgrade deformation is due to the weakened of internal structure which coursed by damage of the materials in the process of the cycle of freezing and thawing. Considing of the heterogeneity of saturated frozen soil and the phase transition between water and ice, and using of the damage mechanics theory, thermodynamics theory, filtration mechanics theory, a constitutive model of saturated frozen soil is setted up, which is of the coupfing problem of temperature field, water field and stress field. The rationality and validity of the model is verified by the experiment. It is also provided a new method for the study of frozen soil.
