2D Large Eddy Simulation turbulence model coupled with Ffowcs-Williams-Hawkins model and Boundary Element Method is used to perform a study of the effect of the Reynolds number on the broadband noise emitted due to the incompressible fluid structure interaction. The method is then used to calculate the broadband noise emitted by the aerodynamic flow over different shape bodies having same cross-sectional area with the intent to know the most suitable cross sectional geometry of the fuel manifolds in the aircraft engine afterburner in terms of minimum noise emission. The results obtained suggests that a 5dB benefit in sound emission could be obtained by the halving the diameter of the circular cross-section used for the fuel manifolds, to make them elliptical keeping cross sectional area constant.

An analytical method is applied to predict the acoustic attenuation performance of expansion chambers with continuously varying cross-sectional area. A feature of the present method is the use of spherical coordinates whose origin is at the top of the cone that is tangent to the wall of the expansion chamber. By this means, the characteristic functions can be analytically determined despite the non-uniform geometry of the expansion chamber. Using the Galerkin method, a variational principle is transformed into linear algebraic equations that are solved to determine the transmission coefficient of the expansion chamber. Numerical results are provided for the case where broadband noise attenuation is achieved.

Bluff bodies advancing through a free surface at high Froude numbers create intricate flow patterns worth further investigation. An example of such flows includes a submarine operating near the free surface which generally will have one or more masts piercing the free surface. These have the potential to produce large wakes at the surface. This article describes the numerical analysis used to investigate possible design modifications to reduce the wake profile of a singular cylindrical mast piercing the free surface. The large eddy simulation model carried out in OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics software was validated against experimental data obtained by the authors using tow tank experiments. The modifications included the use of a double mast system based on the cylindrical mast and truncated NACA0012 sections. All configurations were performed with a mast cross-sectional area corresponding to a typical submarine snorkel across speeds ranging from two to eight knots. The plume size and mast drag were recorded, and the results show that a 30% reduction in wake profile can be obtained using a double mast system at speeds around eight knots, while at the lower speeds the benefit is not as significant.

Abstract Serpentine, multi-pass cooling passages, are used in cooling advanced gas turbine blades. In open literature, most internal cooling studies use a fixed cross-sectional area for multi-pass channels. Studies that use varying aspect ratio channels, along with a guide vane to direct the flow with turning, are scarce. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of using different guide vane designs on both detailed heat transfer distribution and pressure loss in a multi-pass channel with an aspect ratio of (4:1) in the entry passage and (2:1) in the second passage downstream of the vane (s). The first vane configuration is one solid-vane with a semi-circular cross-section connecting the two flow passages. The second configuration has three broken-vanes with a quarter-circular cross-section; two broken vanes are located downstream in the first passage, and one broken vane is upstream in the second passage. Detailed heat transfer distributions were obtained on all surfaces within the flow passages by using a transient liquid crystal method. Results show that including the semi-circular vane in the turning region enhanced the overall heat transfer by around 29% with a reduction in pressure loss by around 20%. Moreover, results show the quarter-circular vane design provides higher overall averaged heat transfer enhancement than the semi-circular vane design by around 9% with penalty of higher pressure drop by 6%, which yields higher thermal performance by 7%, over a Reynolds number range from 15,000 to 45,000.

Transient heat conduction in solid prismatic bars of constant cross-sectional area having uniform heat generation and unsteady momentum transport in infinitely long ducts of arbitrary but constant cross-sectional area are examined. In both cases the solutions are mathematically modeled using a transient Poisson equation. By means of scaling analysis a general asymptotic model is developed for an arbitrary non-circular cross-section. Further, by means of a novel characteristic length scale, the solutions for a number of fundamental shapes are shown to be weak functions of geometry. The proposed models can be used to predict the dimensionless mean flux at the wall and the area averaged temperature or velocity for the tube, annulus, channel and rectangle for which exact series solutions exist. Due to the asymptotic nature of the proposed models, it is shown that they are also applicable to other shapes at short and long times for which no solutions or data exist. The root mean square (RMS) error based on comparisons with exact results is between 2.2–7.6 percent for all data considered.

SummaryDuring a triple pelvic osteotomy, rotation of the free acetabular segment causes the pubic remnant on the acetabulum to rotate into the pelvic canal. The resulting narrowing may cause complications by impingement on the organs within the pelvic canal. Triple pelvic osteotomies were performed on ten cadaver pelves with pubic remnants equal to 0, 25, and 50% of the hemi-pubic length and angles of acetabular rotation of 20, 30, and 40 degrees. All combinations of pubic remnant lengths and angles of acetabular rotation caused a significant reduction in pelvic canal-width and cross-sectional area, when compared to the inact pelvis. Zero, 25, and 50% pubic remnants result in 15, 35, and 50% reductions in pelvic canal width respectively. Overrotation of the acetabulum should be avoided and the pubic remnant on the acetabular segment should be minimized to reduce postoperative complications due to pelvic canal narrowing.When performing triple pelvic osteotomies, the length of the pubic remnant on the acetabular segment and the angle of acetabular rotation both significantly narrow the pelvic canal. To reduce post-operative complications, due to narrowing of the pelvic canal, overrotation of the acetabulum should be avoided and the length of the pubic remnant should be minimized.

The paper presents solutions to the direct and inverse problems on longitudinal vibrations of a rod with a variable cross-sectional area. The law of variation of the cross-sectional area is modeled as an exponential function of a polynomial of degree n . The method for reconstructing this function is based on representing the fundamental system of solutions of the direct problem in the form of a Maclaurin series in the variables x and λ. Examples of solutions for various section functions and various boundary conditions are given. It is shown that to recover n unknown coefficients of a polynomial, n eigenvalues are required, and the solution is dual. An unambiguous solution was obtained only for the case of elastic fixation at one of the rod’s ends. The numerical estimation of the method error was made using input data noise. It is shown that the error in finding the variable crosssectional area is less than 1% with the error in the eigenvalues of longitudinal vibrations not exceeding 0.0001.

The study analyzed the functional parameters of nasal breathing, linear parameters of the nasal aperture, nasal cavity and nasopharynx, volumetric parameters of the upper airways in patients with II and III skeletal class of jaw anomalies before and after orthognathic surgery. The respiratory function of the nose was assessed using a rhinomanometric complex. According to rhinoresistometry data, nasal resistance and hydraulic diameter were assessed. According to the data of acoustic rhinometry, the minimum cross-sectional area along the internal valve, the minimum cross-sectional area on the head of the inferior turbinate and nasal septum and related parameters were estimated. According to the CBCT data, the state of the nasal septum, the inferior turbinates, the nasal aperture, the state of the nasal cavity, and the linear values of the upper respiratory tract (nasopharynx) were analyzed. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the classification of the patency of the nasal passages by
