Based on CFD software Fluent, the flow field of screen filter was simulated numerically，and the results of calculation were analyzed in detailed. The results show that the velocity distribution declines along the radial direction of tank. The flow can be rotated and mixed in tank, and the screen of outlet can be clogged quickly resulting in uneven clogging. The turbulent pressure distribution of filter is not uniformity. In the inlet, the turbulent energy is larger than the second tank. In the inlet of second screen, there is a high turbulence region resulting in the larger head loss. The pressure distribution of the second tank is uniformity in the course of filter work. However, the pressure of the first tank is significantly higher than the second one.

Tangential Inlet

An innovative axial hydrocyclone separator was designed in which a guide vane was installed to replace a conventional tangential inlet, potentially aggravating inlet turbulence. The characteristics of velocity distribution, concentration distribution, and pressure distribution inside the separator were obtained through the numerical simulation of the turbulent flow of oil and water. The results showed that the flow field presented good symmetry, which eliminated the eccentric turbulence phenomenon in the conventional hydrocyclone separators and was beneficial for the oil–water separation.

Reasonable Result

In order to obtain the more real condition of the flow field at condenser throat the flow field of condenser throat is numerical simulated by the FLUENT commercial software, alone or coupling with the low-pressure exhaust hood. The results show that the flow field of condenser throat is strongly influenced by low-pressure exhaust hood, the frustum’s diffuse-angle, the low-pressure heater and the injection of the exhaust steam from the small turbine. The velocity distribution at the outlet of the throat isn’t uniform. The calculation result of combined model is also different from the single calculation result of condenser throat. Combined numerical simulation obtains more reasonable result.

Abstract Secondary sealing flow is of great importance in the turbine disk cooling and sealing system. The amount of cooling air extracted from the compressor is crucial to engine efficiency. To determine a minimum amount of cooling air, the flow characteristic of the rim seal should be investigated. Numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the flow field near the rim seal region. Both RANS and URANS numerical simulation methods are used in the commercial CFD code ANSYS CFX to analyze axial and radial rim seals. In the simulation, a 1/33 sector is selected as computing region to simulate the flow field and the SST turbulent model is used. The steady and unsteady simulation results of pressure distribution and seal efficiency are analyzed and compared. The computed results show that due to the different geometry configuration, the pressure distribution also shows inconsistency. Unsteady phenomena are observed in both axial and radial type of rim seals. Radial sealing lip can suppress the inherent unsteadiness and interaction between main flow and sealing flow, thus showing higher sealing efficiency. Comparing to steady results using the RANS method; unsteady simulation, using the URANS method, can capture the pressure difference and seal efficiency fluctuation at the disk rim more efficiently. Also, the interaction between the rotor and stator is considered in unsteady simulation, so the unsteady simulation is recommended. The results obtained in the current paper are useful to the investigation and design of turbine rim seals.

Different Types

To enhance the exhaust efficiency during ventilation, three types of air duct outlets were imported. According to the characteristics of velocity distribution simulated by numerical method, the flow field is divided into the mixing zone and the exhaust zone. The gradual contracted air duct outlet can enhance the mixing effect between fresh air and smoke. In the exhaust zone, however, the flow velocity on the upper section of the tunnel is weakened, which is unfavorable for smoke exhaust. Gradual expanded air duct outlet, on the contrary, may weaken the concentration effect of the airflow. The flow velocity on the upper section of the tunnel is increased in the exhaust zone, thus the flow field is more homogenized, which is in favor of smoke exhaust.

Numerical simulations for the Ahmed model with 25° slant angle are performed under three different turbulent parameters, intensity and length scale, intensity and viscosity ratio, k and epsilon. The external flow field of ahmed model with 25° slant angle is got, and all the velocity vectors, pressure distribution and the drag coefficient of the flow field are obtained as well. The comparison between the numerical simulations and the experimental statistics shows that intensity and viscosity and k and epsilon characterized by higher computation accuracy are more suitable for numerical simulation of automotive external flow field.

Drainage Pipe

The crystal plugging of tunnel drainage pipe seriously affects the safe and normal use of the tunnel. In order to obtain the mechanism of flocking drainage pipe anti crystal plugging based on the characteristics of flow field distribution, numerical simulation was used to optimize the parameters of flocking drainage pipe. The results show that: with the existence of fluff, the velocity in the lower part of the drainage pipe decreases by about 50%, and the velocity in the upper part increases by about 25~50%. With the increase of the length of fluff, the velocity funnel between fluffs gradually increases, the velocity distribution at the bottom of the funnel is basically unchanged, and the velocity in the upper part gradually increases. The velocity in the upper part of the flocked drainage pipe fluctuates above the fluff to a certain extent. The flow velocity in the lower part of the drainage pipe forms a flow velocity ladder in the longitudinal direction of the villus, and the width of the ladder is about 2/3 of the longitudinal spacing of the villus. The optimized parameters of 3-D flow field of flocked drainage pipe are helpful to the further improvement of indoor test, and provide theoretical basis for the mechanism of preventing crystal blockage of flocked drainage pipe.

Simulation Results

Decompression tank is a tank in which pressurized with water. In its application decompression tank can be reservoir tank and water storage tanks which are closed. In the simulation the value of compressibility is very important for the case decompression tank. The method used is the numerical simulations using OpenFOAM software to know the results of observation the value of the pressure, density, and velocity magnitude. Simulations will be performed by varying the value of the water compressibility 4.54e-06 4.54e-07, and 4.54e-08. Before performing simulations on the main case decompression tank then first performed by grid independent test to validate the simulation results from the study by another researcher. From the results of experiments with variation of compressibility of water it can be seen that a good comparisons with numerical simulation and previous studies show the capability of this method. The greater the value compressibility water then the pressure distribution generated more widely and rapidly spreadas well as the velocity distribution. However for the distribution of the speed with greater compressibility of the velocity distribution will become more varied and occurs only in a small area.
