In this paper, the 3D flow analysis model of gasoline engine turbocharger compressor was built by using the software NUMECA. The flow fields of the vaneless diffuser and volute, such as airflow velocity field, temperature field, pressure field and the entropy field were simulated. The internal flow performance of the vaneless diffuser and volute were analyzed. The simulation results show that the field changes accord with the compressor characteristics, thus the vaneless diffuser and volute of the compressor design is reasonable. The approach of numerical simulation and flow field analysis by using CFD method can accurately predict the compressor performance. The research methods and conclusions provide theoretical and practical reference for the optimization design of the compressor.

Flow Field Analysis

In order to analyze the influence of structure parameter of air-suction roller-type precision metering device on the flow velocity and pressure, the flow field was calculation and simulation. Take the compressibility and the viscosity of the real gas into account, the N-S equations, RNG k-ε turbulence model and wall function were applied to measure the flow rate and pressure of the outlet under the conditions of changing the area of the suction holes and the diameter of shaft. The results revealed that compared with the shaft holes area, the diameter of center axis have a marked influence on the flow velocity and pressure of outlet. When the area of suction holes is constant, with the increase of shaft diameter, the outlet velocity increased and pressure decreased; when the diameter of axle is constant, with the shaft holes area increase, the outlet velocity increased and pressure decreased.

Road sweeper is the widely-employed machine to clear up garbage and dust on streets. Its performance has profound influence on the reduction of fuel consumption and hence CO2 emission. The key component of a road sweeper is a centrifugal fan which produces suction force for clearing. Therefore, the performance of this device has direct impact on fuel economy of the machine. This paper targets at the performance analysis of a centrifugal fan in a commercial road sweeper. Firstly, the performance and flow field of the centrifugal fan are analyzed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The breakdown of the flow loss in the fan shows that the volute and the impeller are major components contributing to flow loss in the fan. The flow at the inlet of the impeller is highly distorted due the interaction among the asymmetrical inlet duct, the leakage and the volute tongue. Because of the interaction, flow passages near the tongue are the ones with the highest flow loss. Moreover, the flow velocity entering the volute is considerably high which thus results in high flow loss in the volute. Finally, based on the flow field analysis, an inlet duct with round shape is designed preliminarily and simulated together with the centrifugal fan. The results show that the efficiency can be improved by more than 4% compared with the original configuration due to the alleviation of the interaction.

Brake Performance

The brake performance of a hydrodynamic tractor-retarder assembly, which is the combination of torque converter and hyaulic retarder, was studied to explore its work mechanism. Spiral vortex distribution pattern of internal flow field in the assembly was discovered on the basis of reasonable boundary condition, where runaway speed of stator was determined by CFD analysis. Comparison of experimental data and flow field analysis shows that accurate brake performance of hydrodynamic tractor-retarder assembly can be calculated only by 3D flow field analysis presently and numerical simulation results is close to experimental data, and approximate linear relationship exists between runaway speed of stator and rotating speed of pump.

The canard has been seen as an ominous aerodynamic object for ages this paper is to shed some more light on the effects of canard configuration on the aircraft’s wings. This flow-field analysis is thus being done using a turbulence model solution to take into the effects of a real-time environment where the vortices from the canard are captured more accurately. The analysis has been done meticulously and made to be as error-free as possible under the guidance of Dr. Yagya Dutta Dwivedi.

Degradation State

As a kind of hydraulic power component, the external gear pump determines the performance of the entire hydraulic system. The degradation state of gear pumps can be monitored by sensors. Based on the accelerated life test (ALT), this paper proposes a method to identify the wear degradation state of external gear pumps based on flow field analysis. Firstly, the external gear pump is theoretically analyzed. Secondly, dynamic grid technology is used to simulate the internal flow field of the gear pump in detail. Finally, the theoretical and simulation results are verified by the ALT. The results show that this method can effectively identify the wear degradation status of four sample pumps. The results of the work not only provide a solution to the research on the wear degradation of external gear pumps, but also provide strong technical support for the predictive maintenance of hydraulic pumps.
