The butterfly valve system is an important part of the steel heating furnace temperature control. In high temperature, the coupling effect of temperature field and stress deformation of the butterfly valve is stronger. We did not consider it in the numerical simulation research in the past, and studied the overall characteristics of butterfly valve only by 2D numerical simulation, resulting in the decrease of the numerical simulation accuracy. This paper uses the way of the FLUENT software and ANSYS software joint control, and has established the mathematical model of fluid and solid coupling effect, and has implemented the coupling effect of the temperature field and stress field of the butterfly valve system by means of three dimensional numerical simulation, then we have got the temperature distribution and stress distribution of the butterfly valve system, which provides technical reference for mechanical system design of butterfly valve.

Numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat or mass transfer phenomenon requires numerical solution of Navier–Stokes and energy-conservation equations, together with the continuity equation. The basic problem of solving general transport equations by the Finite Volume Method (FVM) is the exact calculation of the transport quantity. Numerical or false diffusion is a phenomenon of inserting errors in calculations that threaten the accuracy of the computational solution. The paper compares the physical accuracy of the calculation in the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code in Ansys Fluent using the offered discretization calculation schemes, methods of solving the gradients of the transport quantity on the cell walls, and the influence of the mesh type. The paper offers possibilities on how to reduce numerical errors. In the calculation area, the sharp boundary of two areas with different temperatures is created in the flow direction. The three-dimensional (3D) stationary flow of the fictitious gas is simulated using FVM so that only advective transfer, in terms of momentum and heat, arises. The subject of the study is to determine the level of numerical diffusion (temperature field scattering) and to evaluate the values of the transport quantity (temperature), which are outside the range of specified boundary conditions at variously set calculation parameters.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of feeding scheme on melt flow and temperature field during the steady-state of level-pour direct-chill (DC) casting of A390 alloy hollow billet and optimize the design of feeding scheme. Design/methodology/approach – Melt flow and temperature field are investigated by numerical simulation, which is based on a three-dimensional mathematical model and well verified by experiments. Findings – The numerical results reveal that both melt flow and temperature field are obviously affected by the feeding scheme. The homogeneity of melt flow and temperature field in hollow billet with the feeding scheme of modified four inlets are better than the other feeding schemes. Experimental results show that crack can be eliminated by increasing the number of feeding inlets. The primary Si size appears unaffected while the distribution of primary Si particles is highly affected by the change of feeding scheme. Only with the feeding scheme of modified four inlets can fine and uniformly distributed primary Si particles be achieved. Practical implications – The paper includes implications for the design of feeding scheme in level-pour DC casting of hollow billet for practical use. Originality/value – This paper develops different feeding schemes for level-pour DC casting of hollow billet and optimizes the design of feeding scheme.

Based on the analysis of structural characteristic superiority, the process of combustion, flue gas flow and heat transfer in the upright magnesium reducing furnace, the three dimensional mathematical model is devoloped. And numerical simulation is performed further with the commercial software FLUENT. Finally, the flow and temperature field in furnace and temperature field in reducing pot have been obtained. The results indicate that the upright magnesium reducing furnace has perfect flue gas flow field and temperature field to meet the challenge of the magnesium reducing process; the major factors that affect the magnesium reducing reaction are the low thermal conductivity of slag and the high chemical reaction heat absorption.

In this dissertation, academic analysis of the influence to deflector plate in gas jet field of a Vehicle-mounted Vertically Thermal Launched missile as well as simulation study. The finite volume method, a fully structured grid, three-dimensional N-S equation is used for the numerical simulation of the process during the missile launching. The two main factors: temperature and forces on the launcher is the standard we test a launching system. The temperature on the position we test will rise with the decreasing length of the deflector. Especially, when the length is near to the potential core, the temperature changed greatly. Also, the angles of the deflector under the same length have less impacted on the temperature field. However, the force on the deflector would be change greater than the temperature with the change of angles

We developed a direct numerical simulation (DNS) method of solid-fluid two-phase flows to study the effects of heat conductivity within a solid particle and the particle motion on the heat transfer. Heat transfer and particle behaviors were studied for different ratios of heat conductivity (solid to liquid) and solid volume fractions. The simulation results emphasize the effect of temperature distributions within the particles, and the heat transfer through each particle plays an important role for the motion of the particulate flow. The particle-laden flow in a two-dimensional channel of instable thermal stratification, namely hot wall at the bottom and cold wall at the top, is simulated. In the two-dimensional computation, the heat transfer attenuates by increasing the neutral conductive particles because of the resistance to the thermal convection. In case of highly conductive particles, the thermal convection and conductions are enhanced to some extent of addition but the overload of particles suddenly reduces the intensity of convection, resulting in the lower heat transfer. The inverse gradient of mean temperature is observed particularly in case of moderate loading of neutral conductive particles. It is due to the modulation of the profile of convection cells. Most of the above-mentioned findings are reproduced by the fully three-dimensional simulation.

Twin-screw refrigeration compressors have been widely used in many industry applications due to their unique advantages. The performance of twin-screw refrigeration compressors is generally predicted by one-dimensional numerical simulation or empirical methods; however, the above methods cannot obtain the distribution of the fluid pressure field and temperature field inside the compressor. In this paper, a three-dimensional model was established based on the experimental twin-screw refrigeration compressor. The internal flow field of the twin-screw compressor was simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software using structured dynamic grid technology. The flow and thermodynamic characteristics of the fluid inside the compressor were analyzed. The distribution of the internal pressure field, temperature field, and velocity field in the compressor were obtained. Comparing the P-θ indicator diagram and the performance parameters of the compressor with the experimental results, it was found that the results of the three-dimensional numerical simulation were consistent with the experimental data. The maximum error was up to 2.578% on the adiabatic efficiency at the partial load working condition. The accuracy of the 3D numerical simulation of the screw compressors was validated and a new method for predicting the performance of twin-screw refrigeration compressors was presented that will be helpful in their design.

In order to control the thermal stress of forming process, based on “element birth and death” technology of finite element method, a numerical simulation of three-dimensional temperature field and stress field during multi-track & multi-layer laser metal deposition shaping(LMDS) process is developed with ANSYS parametric design language (APDL). The dynamic variances of temperature field and stress field of forming process are calculated with the energy compensation of interaction between molten pool-powder and laser-powder. The temperature field, temperature gradient, thermal stress field and distribution of residual stress are obtained. The results indicate that although the nodes on different layers are activated at different time, their temperature variations are similar. The temperature gradients of samples are larger near the molten pool area and mainly along z-direction. Finally, it’s verified that the analysis results are consistent with actual situation by the experiments with same process parameters.
