This paper simulates the alternation of the maximum explosion overpressure on the different condition of the concentration based on the fluent software. The results show the maximum explosion overpressure increases in the earlier stage and then decreases in the later stage because of the different flammable gas concentration: the maximum explosion overpressure enhanced in 6% gas concentration and drops in 12% gas concentration; it augments in 6% gas concentration and drops in 12% gas concentration with the joining of the hydrogen; the explosion pressure peaked just at the 9% concentration of the flammable gas.

The gas concentration field in goaf of Huangling No.1 Mine 304 fully-mechanized face was simulated numerically by FLUENT software with high fracture drilling or not. The results of numerical simulation were confirmed by fixed sampling method of immersed tube in goaf. Thus, the law of gas concentration field was gained, which provides the important basis for gas control of working face.

In this study, a numerical simulation on the premixed CH4/CO2/Air (methane/carbon dioxide/air) mixture explosion characteristics was conducted by using the Flame Acceleration Simulator (FLACs) software. The domain used in the 20 L spherical vessel with 0.808 m diameter. The effect of various equivalence ratios on the explosion characteristics such as the explosion pressure, Pex, maximum explosion overpressure, Pmax, the maximum rate of the pressure rise, (dP/dt)max and gas deflagration index, KG, were studied. For this purpose, the mixture concentrations range from equivalence ratio (ER) 0.8 to 1.5 (9.6 to 18% vol/vol) were considered. From this study, the explosion pressure, Pex, maximum explosion overpressure, Pmax, and the maximum rate of pressure rise, (dP/dt)max, at various ER was the maximum at a slightly rich concentration (ER=1.2). At lean and rich mixtures, the Pex, Pmax, (dP/dt)max and KG decreases. It can be said that, at ER=1.2, the role of thermal-diffusive instability and its effect on the flame speed during the pressure development process had causes the diffused methane, CH4, to react further into the flame front, which significantly increases the mixture mass burning rate and flame was also found to propagates the fastest at ER=1.2 due to the incompletecombustion process caused by the insufficient and excess CH4 present in the lean and rich mixtures. The CH4/CO2/air mixtures studied in this study were also found to have the highest level of hazard potential when exploded.

The numerical simulation of construction is to obtain the desired accuracy. It depends on the theoretical basis of the calculator and selection of the various important factors in the actual operation.

In this paper, the influences of applied magnetic field on flow state during electroforming of the high-aspect-ratio (HAR) blind micro-hole were numerically analyzed using the Fluent software. The results showed that, when microelectroforming of nickel without external agitation, three vortexes could form due to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect within the HAR micro-hole with magnetic field in parallel to cathode-electrode surface, and the flow rate in the micro-hole increased with the increase of the magnetic field and current density. The MHD effect helped to enhance mass transfer during the microelectroforming of HAR microstructures.

This article carries out the numerical simulation of airflow over three dimensional car models using ANSYS Fluent software. The calculations have been performed by using realizable k-e turbulence model. The external airflow field of the simplified BMV M6 model with or without a wing is simulated. Several aerodynamic characteristics such as pressure distribution, velocity contours, velocity vectors, streamlines, turbulence kinetic energy and turbulence dissipation energy are analyzed in this study. The aerodynamic forces acting on the car model is calculated and compared with other authors.

Abstract To further investigate and improve the cleaning ability of the cavitation nozzle, this paper proposes a new model that is based on the Helmholtz nozzle and with the quadratic equation curve as the outer contour of the cavitation chamber. First, the numerical simulation of the flow field in the nozzle chamber was conducted using FLUENT software to analyze and compare the impact of the curve parameters and Reynolds number on the cleaning effect. Next, the flow field was captured by a high-speed camera in order to study the cavitation cycle and evolution process. Then, experiments were performed to compare the cleaning effect of the new nozzle with that of the Helmholtz nozzle. The study results demonstrate that effective cavitation does not occur when the diameter of the cavitation chamber is too large. For the new nozzle, with the increase of the Reynolds number, the degree of cavitation in the chamber first increases and then decreases; the cleaning effect is much better than that of a traditional Helmholtz nozzle under the same conditions; the nozzle has the best cleaning effect for the stand-off distance of 300 mm.

Based on Fluent software, a mathematical model of thermosyphon pump is established and numerical simulation is carried out to study the influence of riser tube length, tube diameter and immersion ratio on liquid lifting capacity and efficiency. The results showed that: the liquid lifting volume increased with the increase of immersion ratio, whereas the lifting efficiency showed a trend of increasing followed by decreasing. The highest lifting efficiency for a 340mm long, 6mm diameter riser achieved when the immersion ratio is 0.35. With the increasing of the height in riser, the velocity of the gas phase close to the wall in the thermosyphon pump was higher than the velocity along the radial direction. In order to enhance fluid interchange, corners of the refrigeration box were designed to be arc-shaped with a higher corner speed and lower temperature.
