In the experiment of cavitation, the same water tunnel with different model size will get cavity shape that is different from the result of the empirical formula under the same cavitation number. In this article, we studied the impact of wall effect on natural cavity shape and the resistance of cavitator. We get the cavity shape and resistance of cavitator under different diameter ratio. We also get the law how cavity shape and resistance of cavitator change with the diameter ratio. The results provide a reference for experiment in water tunnel and the simulation model.

Geological model is normally built with huge number of grid cells (106 – 107 cells) in order to model in details the geological heterogeneity of an oil field. Although increasingly developed nowadays, modern computers would be faced with substantial problems size in reservoir simulation. Upscaling the geological model before running numerical simulation, therefore, is greatly important to reduce the simulation model size while retaining the geological heterogeneity of the oil field. This paper presents an overview of fundamental background on upscaling methods and reports research results in applying various upscaling methods as well as suggests the most suitable methods for Te giac trang oilfield.

The impact resistance improvement is important for window glass to protect people from injury. Although it has been proved that the impact resistance of a glass plate can be improved easily by fitting a thin polymeric film, its mechanism has not been clarified yet. The purpose of this study is to clarify the reinforcing mechanism of the impact resistance of a glass plate by fitting a polymeric film. To clarify it, a numerical simulation model was built using ANSYS Autodyn to simulate the dynamic fracture of a glass plate fitted with a polymeric film. The simulation model and results were examined by comparing them to the experimental result in the previous study. The Johnson-Holmquist (JH2) damage model was used for the constitutive law of the glass plate. A polymeric film with 0.2 mm thickness (3% with the glass plate) was modeled at the non-impact surface of the glass plate. The nodes of the glass plate at the interface with the film connected the nodes of the film by perfect bonding. By comparing the simulation results to the experiment, it was indicated the importance of modeling the remaining fragments of the glass plate and the adhesive layer of the film in simulating the dynamic fracture of the glass plate fitted with polymeric film.

We examined the possibility of improved runoff control in a porous asphalt pavement by installing beneath it an infiltration pipe with a numerical simulation model that can simulate rainfall infiltration and runoff at the porous asphalt pavement. From the results of simulations about runoff and infiltration at the porous asphalt pavement, it became clear that putting a pipe under the porous asphalt pavement had considerable effect, especially during the latter part of the rainfall.

The Impact

Stochastic simulation is widely applied for estimating the design flood of various hydrosystems. The design flood at a reservoir site should consider the impact of upstream reservoirs, along with any development of hydropower. This paper investigates and applies a stochastic simulation approach for determining the design flood of a complex cascade of reservoirs in the Longtan watershed, southern China. The magnitude of the design flood when the impact of the upstream reservoirs is considered is less than that without considering them. In particular, the stochastic simulation model takes into account both systematic and historical flood records. As the reliability of the frequency analysis increases with more representative samples, it is desirable to incorporate historical flood records, if available, into the stochastic simulation model. This study shows that the design values from the stochastic simulation method with historical flood records are higher than those without historical flood records. The paper demonstrates the advantages of adopting a stochastic flow simulation approach to address design-flood-related issues for a complex cascade reservoir system.

The Impact

In this paper, we describe a procedure for designing an accurate simulation model using a price-wised linear approach referred to as the power semiconductor converters of a DC microgrid concept. Initially, the selection of topologies of individual power stage blocs are identified. Due to the requirements for verifying the accuracy of the simulation model, physical samples of power converters are realized with a power ratio of 1:10. The focus was on optimization of operational parameters such as real-time behavior (variable waveforms within a time domain), efficiency, and the voltage/current ripples. The approach was compared to real-time operation and efficiency performance was evaluated showing the accuracy and suitability of the presented approach. The results show the potential for developing complex smart grid simulation models, with a high level of accuracy, and thus the possibility to investigate various operational scenarios and the impact of power converter characteristics on the performance of a smart gird. Two possible operational scenarios of the proposed smart grid concept are evaluated and demonstrate that an accurate hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system can be designed.

Foam Flooding

Foam flooding is an effective method for enhancing oil recovery in high water-cut reservoirs and unconventional reservoirs. It is a dynamic process that includes foam generation and coalescence when foam flows through porous media. In this study, a foam flooding simulation model was established based on the population balance model. The stabilizing effect of the polymer and the coalescence characteristics when foam encounters oil were considered. The numerical simulation model was fitted and verified through a one-dimensional displacement experiment. The pressure difference across the sand pack in single foam flooding and polymer-enhanced foam flooding both agree well with the simulation results. Based on the numerical simulation, the foam distribution characteristics in different cases were studied. The results show that there are three zones during foam flooding: the foam growth zone, stable zone, and decay zone. These characteristics are mainly influenced by the adsorption of surfactant, the gas–liquid ratio, the injection rate, and the injection scheme. The oil recovery of polymer-enhanced foam flooding is estimated to be 5.85% more than that of single foam flooding. Moreover, the growth zone and decay zone in three dimensions are considerably wider than in the one-dimensional model. In addition, the slug volume influences the oil recovery the most in the foam enhanced foam flooding, followed by the oil viscosity and gas-liquid ratio. The established model can describe the dynamic change process of foam, and can thus track the foam distribution underground and aid in optimization of the injection strategies during foam flooding.

Construction Works

Reducing the duration of construction works requires additional organizational measures, such as selecting construction methods that assure a shorter realization time, engaging additional resources, working overtime, or allowing construction works to be performed simultaneously in the same working units. The simultaneous work of crews may affect the quality of works and the efficiency of construction processes. This article presents a simulation model aimed at assessing the impact of the overlap period on the extension of the working time of the crews and the reduction of a repetitive project’s duration in random conditions. The purpose of simulation studies is to provide construction managers with guidelines when deciding on the dates of starting the sequential technological process lines realized by specialized working crews, for sustainable scheduling and organization of construction projects.
