Simulation Results

The three-dimensional construct of concentration field in an oscillatory flow reactor (OFR) containing periodically spaced conic ring baffles was investigated by numerical simulation employing Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The computation covered a range of Oscillatory Reynolds number (Reo) from 623.32 to 3116.58 at Strouhal number (St) 0.995 and 1.99. The contour of concentration field showed that the concentration in the most part of the channel is relative uniform and a small retention area is found below the conic ring baffles, which means a region of relative poor mixing. In addition, the turbulent diffusion coefficient calculated from the simulation results implied the greater oscillatory amplitude and oscillatory frequency superimposed to the fluid, the stronger is the turbulence intensity.

This paper concerns Honji instability generated around a circular cylinder in an oscillatory flow with a small oblique angle. In this study, direct numerical simulation has been conducted for an oscillatory flow past a stationary cylinder with small incidence angles (α) of 5° and 10° at KC number of 2 and β number of 200. The three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are solved using the Petrov-Galerkin finite element method. Flow structures around the cylinder are visualized through using streamlines, velocity vectors and vorticity contours. Honji instability has been captured at both chosen inclination angles. However Honji vortex pairs are asymmetric at α = 5° and 10° due to the inclination of the oscillation direction and can only be observed during the flow reversal. It is also found that the flow inclination appears to suppress the three-dimensional instability.

This paper describes the numerical simulation of the asymmetric exhaust flows by using a 3D viscous flow solver incorporating an actuator disc blade row model. The three dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved by using the TVD Lax-Wendroff scheme. The convergence to a steady state is speeded up by using the V-cycle multigrid algorithm. Turbulence eddy viscosity is estimated by the Baldwin-Lomax model. Multiblock method is applied to cope with the complicated physical domains. Actuator disc model is used to represent a turbine blade row and to achieve the required flow turning and entropy rise across the blade row. The solution procedure and the actuator disc boundary conditions are described. The stream traces in various sections of the exhaust hood are presented to demonstrate the complicity of the flow patterns existing in the exhaust hood.

The paper presents a numerical method to simulate two-phase turbulent cavitating flows in ducts of varying cross-section usually faced in engineering. The method is based on solution of two-phase Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations of two-phase mixture. The numerical method uses artificial compressibility algorithm extended to unsteady flows with dual-time technique. The discreted method employs an implicit, characteristic-based upwind differencing scheme in the curvilinear grid systems. Numerical simulation of an unsteady three-dimensional two-phase cavitating flow in a duct of varying cross-section with available experiment was performed. The unsteady important characteristics of the unsteady flow can be observed in results of numerical simulation. Comparison of predicted results with experimental data for time-averaged velocity and phase fraction are provided.

Abstract Motion of liquid pouring from a beverage can is numerically studied. A liquid is poured from a can which is rotated at a prescribed angular speed. The flow is simulated by solving the unsteady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. An experiment under the same condition is also carried out to validate the computational result. The result shows that, when the can is tipped, the liquid flows over the lid of the can and is once obstructed by the rim of the lid. The numerical result is in good agreement with the experimental result. The effect of condensation formed on a can surface is also considered. The effect of condensation is taken into account by adjusting a contact angle. The liquid pouring from a can trickles down along the can body. The computation reproduces these experimental observations.

The paper considers the problem of simulating the HIFiRE-1 ground test numerically. The aircraft geometry is represented by either a pointed or a blunted cone combined with a flared cylinder. Our digital simulation investigated the aerodynamics of two aircraft configurations: one featuring a pointed nose, another featuring a blunted nose with a radius of 2.5 mm. We used the UST3D software developed in the Ishlinsky Institute for Problems in Mechanics RAS, to perform our aerodynamic calculations. The software is specifically designed for numerical simulations of aerodynamics and thermodynamics in high-velocity aircraft. It implements a model of viscous compressible thermally conductive gas described by a non-steady-state spatial system of Navier --- Stokes equations solved over unstructured three-dimensional tetrahedral meshes. We compared the numerical simulation results in the form of pressure distribution in the tail segment of the aircraft to the empirical data obtained via ground tests in a wind tunnel. We analysed result convergence as a function of the mesh density used. We used methods of computational aerodynamics to investigate the turbulent flow field over the computation region from the leading shock wave to the far wake for various Mach numbers and attack angles
