Taking multi-oil-cavity and multi-oil-pad hydrostatic bearings as studied projects, firstly make brief instructions for structure characteristics and working principal of hydraulic system; Then, build three-dimensional models of multi-oil-cavity and multi-oil-pad hydrostatic bearings respectively. Adopting finite volume method, oil film mesh is generated by universal finite analysis software CFD; then, carry on numerical simulations for pressure distribution and temperature distribution of the two studied hydrostatic thrust bearing under various viscosity, and make comparative analysis for difference between the two studied hydrostatic thrust bearing. Based on the analysis of numerical simulation results, the conclusions whether oil-return groove is set for hydrostatic bearing could be received. Simulation results reveal truly the influence of setting oil-return groove or not on hydrostatic thrust bearing, and improve structure design for hydrostatic thrust bearing.

In order to solve thermal deformation, the finite element numerical simulation of two kind of tilting pad thrust bearing is made for the same pad surface, and thermal deformation is made to analyze comparatively. The results show that the temperature field, the deformation field and the values of pad are similar for two different supported thrust bearing (point, line support) under the same operating condition. The pad temperature and deformation will increase with the increasing of pv values. According to the calculation conditions, the temperature field rose about 1°C, and the thermal deflection increased 0.002mm with pv value increased by 10%.

In this paper, we study the oxidation process during the heating of a titanium metallic surface by a Nd-YAG fiber pulsed laser beam under air environment. For this, we adopted an approach that considers a three-dimensional heat diffusion model coupled with an oxidation parabolic law (oxidation kinetics). The heat diffusion equation solved numerically, gives the temperature field. The oxide film growth is simulated by implementing a dynamic mesh technique. We developed computational procedures UDFs (User Defined Function) running interactively with the Fluent fluid dynamics software [ that implements the finite volume method. These UDFs are developed to insert the oxidation law, the temperature field, the specific boundary conditions and the mesh deformation into the calculation.

In order to study the effect of salinity wastewater discharging ways on the range of salt content rise nearby the outfall. Two three-dimensional numerical models of discharging ways which were single-port submerged-type and double-port submerged-type in the condition of subcritical flow were researched based on FLUENT. The range of salt content rise of the two discharging ways could be concluded according to the simulation results. The value of maximum salt concentration and average salt concentration of two discharging ways were compared and analyzed. The results showed that double-port submerged-type discharging way was better than single-port submerged-type discharging way.

Driven by fluid dynamics principles, the concept for buffeting reduction, a cavity installed at the leading edge of the sunroof opening, is analyzed. The cavity provides a room to hold the vortex, shed from upstream, and prevents the vortex from escaping and from directly intruding into the cabin. The concept has been verified by means of a two dimensional simulation for a production SUV using the CFD software — FLUENT. The simulation results show that the impact of the cavity is crucial to reduce buffeting. It is shown that the buffeting level may be reduced by 3 dB by adding a cavity to the sunroof configuration. Therefore, the cavity could be considered as a means of buffeting reduction, in addition to the three currently-known concepts: wind deflector, sunroof glass comfort position and cabin venting. Thorough understanding of the buffeting mechanism helps explain why and how the cavity works to reduce buffeting. Investigation of the buffeting-related physics provides a deep insight into the flow nature and, therefore, a useful hint to geometry modification for buffeting reduction. The buffeting level may be further reduced by about 4 dB or more by cutting the corners of the sunroof opening into smooth ramps, guided by ideas coming from careful examining the physics of flow. More work including three dimensional simulation and wind tunnel experiment should follow in order to develop more confidence in the functionality of the cavity to hopefully promote this idea to the level that it can be utilized in a feasible way to address sunroof buffeting.
