AbstractThe effect of the angle of dual slots on an air flow field in melt blowing was researched via numerical simulation. Through establishing the geometric model of air flow field in melt blowing with dual slots, meshing, designating the boundary conditions and their parameters and numerical simulation, the result illustrates the influence of the angle of dual slots on the variations of air velocity, pressure and temperature distributions. Higher peak values of air velocity, pressure and temperature are obtained with larger angles of dual slots near the die, while only a few differences of these parameters are detected away from the die. Our results demonstrate the angle of 70° is the appropriate one that can produce the finest fibers.

The air flow field of a foreign fiber separator is simulated numerically. Effects of design parameters such as the nozzle diameter and entrance width of the noil box on the air velocity along nozzle axis, turbulence intensity, and jet deflection distance are studied. Larger nozzle diameters and larger entrance widths of the noil box are advantageous to the elimination of foreign fibers. The results provide a theoretical basis for the design of foreign fiber separators.

For the purpose of avoiding the deficiency of the traditional construction ventilation, the ventilation of the underground main powerhouse is simulated by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize ventilation parameters. A 3D unsteady RNG k-ε model is performed for construction ventilation in the underground main powerhouse. The air-flow field and CO diffusion in the main powerhouse are simulated and analyzed. The two construction ventilation schemes are modelled for the main powerhouse. The optimized ventilation scheme is obtained by comparing the air volume and pressure distributions of the different ventilation schemes.

Operation Rule

Air curtains are commonly used to cut off air flow between the cold store and hot environment, and reduce heat and mass transfer in order to maintain the low temperature in the cold store. CFD can be used to predict operation rule of air curtain used in the cold store intuitively and modelling is the most important part of numerical simulation of air curtain used in the cold store. In this study, different numerical models including standardmodel (with and without boussinesq approximation) and RSM (with and without boussinesq approximation) were used to simulate the temperature field and air flow field in the cold store and operation rule of air curtain used in the cold store after air curtain opened for 60s. Meanwhile, the actual operation of air curtain used in the cold store was tested and the simulation values were compared with the experimental values. The results showed that the velocity of the central mainstream decayed slowly, but the velocity of both sides of air curtain decayed fast. The optimal model used to predict the temperature field and air flow field in the cold store and operation rule of air curtain used in the cold store was standardmodel with boussinesq approximation, the relative error was within 20%. The optimal model can be used to predict the temperature field and air flow field in the cold store during different times in the future research.

In order to regulate turbulence strength and determine airflow characteristics in a new dual-feed rotor spinning unit, the internal flow field is investigated. A computational fluid dynamics technique is employed to numerically study the three-dimensional model of the internal airflow in the new design. The effects of air velocity variation on turbulence strength, negative pressure, Re, and wall pressure distribution are investigated based on simulation data and previous studies. The results show that the turbulence strength and Re increased with increase in inlet air velocity. Pressure profiles inside the rotor varied significantly with positive pressure observed at the channel exits. Minimal inlet velocity maintains the flow field in the rotor interior below 100 m/s, which gives the ideal turbulence required to minimize yarn quality deterioration. The dual-feed rotor spinning unit showed more orderly streamline patterns with fewer vortices compared to the conventional one. The numerical simulation can provide insights on airflow studies and some guidelines for future prototyping and experiments to further improve the new design.

Because of the relatively narrow space and high density distribution of the passengers, the bus interior environment deteriorates in summer. Natural ventilating introduces a fresh natural freeze, provides the bus interior with appropriate distribution of air supply temperature and velocity field. Making good use of natural ventilation is an operating strategy ideal for improving passengers’ satisfaction, which is considered as an environmental friendly and cost effective approach. Based on CFD numerical simulation, with a whole-domain approach, this paper predicts air flow and thermal comfort in naturally ventilated bus. The outside and inside airflow is modelled simultaneously and within the same computational domain. The thermal environment in different parts of the bus interior is compared. Different vehicle velocities and conditions of windows are taken into account, analysis are made regarding to the effect of both of them on the interior thermal comfort. The result shows, air disturbance at the bus rear parts are intenser than the other parts with better thermal satisfaction; the quality of air flow in different parts makes the temperature difference in bus achieve as high as 3°C; the use of roof openings distributes the temperature more evenly.

The air-flow field of the circumferentially arranged nozzle group is modeled and simulated. The air velocity distribution is measured using a hot wire anemometer. The results show that the simulated velocities coincide with the measured ones, confirming the effectiveness of the model. Larger rotating speeds can yield larger air velocities, indicating that introducing auxiliary air is favorable to the polymer drawing in the centrifugal spinning.

The STAR-CCM+ technology is also used to analyze the location and number of vents in hull coating plant in the case of constant air volume. By means of numerical simulation and mathematical model theory, this paper makes a comparison of air distribution in the working area of this plant, and found the interior velocity and temperature field vary with different location and number of vents. Specifically speaking, the lower position and improper number of vents can lead to unevenness of the internal thermal environment and imbalance of wind speed in the working area. This study provides simulated basis and technical references for the better coating operations in suitable environment, which is significant for putting forward the improvement, optimizing the quality of the coating operation and saving energy.
