Based on the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) technique, the three-dimensional inner flow field of a large-sized throttle valve was built and the dynamics characteristics of the control valve were analyzed. The results indicate that the main reason for the spool and valve vibration was the cavitations at the spool and the whirlpool flow at the outlet of the valve, and the fluid velocity rises as the decreasing of the flow area at the same opening. The research f indings will provide the theory basis for the later throttle valves development and optimization with littler vibration and higher efficiency.

The method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to three-dimensional numerical simulation for the fluid flow process of ammonium persulfate crystallizer. By using standard model, this paper respectively simulated the flow field within the crystallizer in the impeller installation height of 1.2 m while stirring speed is of 60 r/min, 100 r/min and 200 r/min; and simulated the impact of the flow field inside the crystallizer when the stirring speed of 100 r/min and impeller installation height respectively is of 0.7 m, 1.2 m and 1.7 m. That calculation results show that: the velocity gradient is mainly concentrated in the area of internal draft tube and paddle around. With the increase of impeller speed, the flow velocity of the fluid within the crystallizer corresponding increases; and the energy also gradually decreases from mixing impeller to the settlement zone with the loss of the installation height, and the kinetic energy in the bottom of the crystallizer is reduced. Considering the energy and crystallization effect, selection of mixing speed of 100 r/min or so and installation height of about 1.2 m is more appropriate.

A three dimensional fluid flow model was set up in this paper, based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the elasticity theory. Using the finite volume method, a 120° bend was taken as a research object to simulate the erosion to the wall of fluid with sparse particles, finally, to determine the most severe wear areas.At the same time, the distribution of two-phase flows pressure and velocity was analyzed in 45° and 90° bends, then tracked the trajectory of the particles. The results show that the 90°bend has the smallest wear area and particle distribution or combination property is the best.

Despite the widespread use of hydrocyclone in the process of potash ore desliming, its accurate design is often difficult because the feed composition is complicated and the viscosity is high in the brine system. In this study, a numerical approach based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was performed to describe the flow field. The numerical simulation of flow pattern in hydrocyclones for potash ore desliming was presented. Some basic information concerning the velocity and pressure distribution is given, and the results can be used as the fundamental basis for its design.

This paper compares two methodologies for estimating the flow loads on the shroud of a typical BWR caused by a Recirculation Outlet Line Break. First, assuming an ideal and irrotational flow field, the complex potential methodology is used to calculate a two dimensional approximation of the flow field by ignoring variations along the radial direction. As a simplification for the comparative study the annulus will be assumed to be devoid of any structural components such as the jet pumps. The flow field derived from the potential flow approach will be used to compute the total lateral and moment loads acting on the shroud. These load values will be compared against similar values derived from a three dimensional and more realistic flow field computed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The potential flow based method is computationally simpler as compared to the more time consuming CFD approach.

An experimental study was undertaken to verify an axisymmetric numerical model of a control valve flow field. The numerical model, which utilized Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), was formerly developed to be used as a design tool by manufacturers of control valves. In this work the model was first tested by comparing its results to data taken on an axisymmetric flow field experiment. Then the model’s application to actual three-dimensional control valves was tested by studying the pressure and flow field through a three-dimensional control valve. The results showed that the axisymmetric numerical model is accurately modeling an axisymmetric flow field. In addition, the results showed that control valves have a predominantly axisymmetric flow field for most of their plug travel which make them suitable for the model. Finally, the results showed details about the flow field such as where separation and reattachment may occur.

An investigation into three dimensional fluid flow has been conducted which combines the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with the experimental phenomenon of Streaming Birefringence. A versatile flow channel was designed and built for use in conjunction with a circular polariscope. The experimental liquid used was an aqueous solution of a dye, commercially known as Milling Yellow NGS with the addition of Sodium Chloride. To extract the flow fields, six image phase stepping photoelasticity was used over backward and forward steps, and flows around a cylinder, and full-field fringe data were obtained. This method needs laminar flow regimes and the Reynolds number of the flow was around 10. To allow direct comparisons of the CFD solutions with the optical results, a macro (UDF) was written to interpret the flow field results from a (FLUENT6) CFD simulation. This integrated the shear stresses across the flow field and banded the results into fringes. A good correlation between the simulated fringes and the shearstrain rate was obtained from these observations.
