Navigation Condition

The waterway of Jiangxinzhou to Wujiang section is the only hindering navigation section in Wuhu to Nanjing of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Because of the unsteadiness of the main stream, the navigation condition in this section tends to worse, in which the regulation work is sorely needed and more important. The major problem for channel regulation in this section is the design of regulation project. In this paper, the 2D numerical model for simulating the flow and sediment in the waterway of Jiangxinzhou-Wujiang section is used to analyze these questions. From the numerical simulation results, we know that the overall navigation regulation project can solve the problem of hindering navigation.

TongGuTan shoal is typical pebble shoals of branching reach with bend in upper course of Yangtze river. Based on 2D numerical model and physical model tests, the features of flow and sediment movement, obstructing-navigation mechanism be studied. In order to achieve permanent improvement of navigation condition, it is suggested to excavate straight channel for navigation. The new structure such as bags-filled-stones dam body, irregular concrete block have achieved the good effects. It provides a good example of dredging construction in flood season to the similar shoal.

Wave Boundary

A theoretical and numerical study is carried out to investigate the transformation of the wave boundary layer from non-depth-limited (wave-like boundary layer) to depth-limited one (current-like boundary layer) over a smooth bottom. A long period of wave motion is not sufficient to induce depth-limited properties, although it has simply been assumed in various situations under long waves, such as tsunami and tidal currents. Four criteria are obtained theoretically for recognizing the inception of the depth-limited condition under waves. To validate the theoretical criteria, numerical simulation results using a turbulence model as well as laboratory experiment data are employed. In addition, typical field situations induced by tidal motion and tsunami are discussed to show the usefulness of the proposed criteria.

Annual Average

In the downstream tidal section of the Yangtze River, nine kinds of combinations of hydrological environmental conditions are considered, including the annual average runoff flow, the annual average peak flow and the flood control design flow, as well as the three conditions of spring, medium and neap tides. By means of the numerical simulation method, the effective performance parameter values for conventional intercepting boom under different environmental conditions are obtained by simulating 9 kinds of maximum current speed to withstand, Max.CS, respectively. The results show that, in the downstream fast current tidal section of the Yangtze River, for the boom performance index of Max.CS, the relatively extensive applicability value should be 3.0kn under the condition of the annual average runoff flow; 4.0Kn should be selected under the condition of the annual average peak flow; and 4.5Kn should be selected under the flood control design flow. This study can provide technical support for the design, selection and use of booms in downstream waters of the Yangtze River.

Tsunami Currents

The paper aims to simulate Tsunami currents around moving and fixed structures using the moving-particle semi-implicit method. An open channel with four different sets of structures is employed in the numerical model. The simulation results for the case with one structure indicate that the flow around the moving structure is faster than that around the fixed structure. The flow becomes more complex for cases with additional structures.

Flanging and bending forming processes of the crossmember in car intermediate floor are investigated respectively by using numerical simulation technology. The numerical model of the crossmember was established and its press forming effect was simulated to determine the feasible process parameters affecting its manufacturability. Forming limit diagram and thickness distribution diagram are used to evaluate simulation results of different process schemes. And then optimum values of process parameters for flanging and bending are found, which can reduce the tendencies of wrinkling, springback and crackling during the stamping of the product.

Specific Working

The engine cooling module consists of condenser, radiator and fan (CRFM), which has long been recognized as a main source of sound and vibration in the automotive industry. As the engine becomes increasingly compact and powerful, customers gradually have higher expectations for automobile NVH performance than ever before. Thus the reduction of noise and vibration induced by CRFM becomes critical, which can greatly influence overall NVH performance. Combined with experimental and numerical methods, this paper focuses on the identification and optimization of steering wheel (SW) vibration induced by CRFM for a vehicle with V6 engine while engine idling. The numerical model established in this paper, based on Matlab and taking chassis vibration into account, can predict and optimize the vibration of CRFM under specific working condition with the help of energy decoupling and Newmark-Beta methodology. The optimization design of CRFM mainly involves the stiffness, position and angle of isolators. The numerical simulation results are validated experimentally, which can help further design of CRFM.

A numerical model for dispersion of hydrogen in hydrogen powered automobiles was established basing on finite element method with species transport and reaction module of FLUENT. And corresponding numerical simulations were done in order to analysis the dispersion of hydrogen due to leakage from different position of the storage cylinder on the automobiles. Also, the distribution of the hazard region due to hydrogen dispersion was obtained. The simulation results show that the baffle above the cylinder can accumulate the hydrogen. Therefore, the high concentration region of hydrogen exists near the baffle. The study can provide reference for hydrogen sensor placement and safety design of hydrogen powered automobiles.

With the background of bridge on Riverside Avenue cross over Yangtze River tunnels in Nanjing, studies on the influence of bridge construction and operation on the Yangtze River tunnels are as followed. First, safety control standards of Yangtze River tunnels are presented according to safety situation of the tunnel and the deformation property of super large shield tunnels. Then bridge construction and operation process is simulated to study the engineering influence on adjacent Yangtze River tunnel, to which the excavation of bearing platform foundation pits and piles, and bridge loads are considered. Safety state of Yangtze River tunnel during bridge construction and operation period is estimated based on the safety control standards and numerical simulation results.
