The mesh of the multilayer gauze stage was simplified from the crossing arrangement to the unilateral arrangement, and the simplification from three-dimensional to the two-dimensional came true. The calculation capacity was effectively controlled by means of the periodic boundary. The numerical simulation of the multilayer gauze stage with different layers has been done. After the several calculation with different operating conditions, the resistance characteristic curves of the corresponding models was gave out. The relationship between the layers of the multilayer gauze stage and the resistance characteristic has been worked out. The experiments on resistance specialty of the multilayer gauze stage have been done on the special wind-tunnel. The experiment result was compared with the numerical simulation result, in order to provide the effective information for the further research.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the flow field and heat transfer performance of the Cross-Wavy Primary Surface (CWPS) recuperators for microturbines. Using high-effective compact recuperators to achieve high thermal efficiency is one of the key techniques in the development of microturbine in recent years. Recuperators need to have minimum volume and weight, high reliability and durability. Most important of all, they need to have high thermal-effectiveness and low pressure-losses so that the gas turbine system can achieve high thermal performances. These requirements have attracted some research efforts in designing and implementing low-cost and compact recuperators for gas turbine engines recently. One of the promising techniques to achieve this goal is the so-called primary surface channels with small hydraulic dimensions. In this paper, we conducted a three-dimensional numerical study of flow and heat transfer for the Cross-Wavy Primary Surface (CWPS) channels with two different geometries. In the CWPS configurations the secondary flow is created by means of curved and interrupted surfaces, which may disturb the thermal boundary layers and thus improve the thermal performances of the channels. To facilitate comparison, we chose the identical hydraulic diameters for the above four CWPS channels. Since our experiments on real recuperators showed that the Reynolds number ranges from 150 to 500 under the operating conditions, we implemented all the simulations under laminar flow situations. By analyzing the correlations of Nusselt numbers and friction factors vs. Reynolds numbers of the four CWPS channels, we found that the CWPS channels have superior and comprehensive thermal performance with high compactness, i.e., high heat transfer area to volume ratio, indicating excellent commercialized application in the compact recuperators.

A two-dimensional and three-dimensional non-stationary problem of the interaction of a homogeneous impactor and a heterogeneous structure made of steel and ceramics and placed in a Kevlar pocket is considered. The model of the human body is a plate of gelatine with cylindrical inserts-imitators of human bones. The results of numerical simulation using different approaches for describing heterogeneous media are compared. On the basis of direct numerical simulation, it is shown that the gradient armor plate (steel + B4C) has the best weight and size parameters.

We present the first general metric for attractor overlap (MAO) facilitating an unsupervised comparison of flow data sets. The starting point is two or more attractors, i.e. ensembles of states representing different operating conditions. The proposed metric generalizes the standard Hilbert-space distance between two snapshot-to-snapshot ensembles of two attractors. A reduced-order analysis for big data and many attractors is enabled by coarse graining the snapshots into representative clusters with corresponding centroids and population probabilities. For a large number of attractors, MAO is augmented by proximity maps for the snapshots, the centroids and the attractors, giving scientifically interpretable visual access to the closeness of the states. The coherent structures belonging to the overlap and disjoint states between these attractors are distilled by a few representative centroids. We employ MAO for two quite different actuated flow configurations: a two-dimensional wake with vortices in a narrow frequency range and three-dimensional wall turbulence with a broadband spectrum. In the first application, seven control laws are applied to the fluidic pinball, i.e. the two-dimensional flow around three circular cylinders whose centres form an equilateral triangle pointing in the upstream direction. These seven operating conditions comprise unforced shedding, boat tailing, base bleed, high- and low-frequency forcing as well as two opposing Magnus effects. In the second example, MAO is applied to three-dimensional simulation data from an open-loop drag reduction study of a turbulent boundary layer. The actuation mechanisms of 38 spanwise travelling transversal surface waves are investigated. MAO compares and classifies these actuated flows in agreement with physical intuition. For instance, the first feature coordinate of the attractor proximity map correlates with drag for the fluidic pinball and for the turbulent boundary layer. MAO has a large spectrum of potential applications ranging from a quantitative comparison between numerical simulations and experimental particle-image velocimetry data to the analysis of simulations representing a myriad of different operating conditions.

Based on the prime number [Formula: see text], a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP)-type equation is proposed, where the bilinear operators are redefined through introducing some prime number. Computerized symbolic computation provides a powerful tool to solve the generalized (3+1)-dimensional KP-type equation, and some exact solutions are obtained including lump-type solution and interaction solution. With numerical simulation, three-dimensional plots, density plots, and two-dimensional curves are given for particular choices of the involved parameters in the solutions to show the evolutionary characteristics.

The magnetorheological (MR) damper is the newest approach to replace the traditional passive damper which cannot change their dynamics in response to different operating conditions of the aircraft landing gear. This paper presents the simulation study of a semi-active controller for a landing gear equipped MR damper. Furthermore, a new method combined skyhook control with force control, called hybrid control, is developed to improve the performance of the MR damper landing gear. Finally, the numerical simulation result of the landing gear using SIMSCAPE-Simulink is discussed.

Flow around a circular cylinder controlled using plasma actuators is investigated by means of direct numerical simulation (DNS). The Reynolds number based on the freestream velocity and the cylinder diameter is set atReD=1000. The plasma actuators are placed at±90° from the front stagnation point. Two types of forcing, that is, two-dimensional forcing and three-dimensional forcing, are examined and the effects of the forcing amplitude and the arrangement of plasma actuators are studied. The simulation results suggest that the two-dimensional forcing is primarily effective in drag reduction. When the forcing amplitude is higher, the mean drag and the lift fluctuations are suppressed more significantly. In contrast, the three-dimensional forcing is found to be quite effective in reduction of the lift fluctuations too. This is mainly due to a desynchronization of vortex shedding. Although the drag reduction rate of the three-dimensional forcing is slightly lower than that of the two-dimensional forcing, considering the power required for the forcing, the three-dimensional forcing is about twice more efficient.

This paper presents a study of stall inception mechanisms a in low-speed axial compressor. Previous work has identified two common flow breakdown sequences, the first associated with a short lengthscale disturbance known as a ‘spike’, and the second with a longer lengthscale disturbance known as a ‘modal oscillation’. In this paper the physical differences between these two mechanisms are illustrated with detailed measurements. Experimental results are also presented which relate the occurrence of the two stalling mechanisms to the operating conditions of the compressor. It is shown that the stability criteria for the two disturbances are different: long lengthscale disturbances are related to a two-dimensional instability of the whole compression system, while short lengthscale disturbances indicate a three-dimensional breakdown of the flow-field associated with high rotor incidence angles. Based on the experimental measurements, a simple model is proposed which explains the type of stall inception pattern observed in a particular compressor. Measurements from a single stage low-speed compressor and from a multistage high-speed compressor are presented in support of the model.

A double blades pump is widely used in sewage treatment industry, while at present the research on the internal flow characteristics of the double blades pump is very few. So, the CFD technology and the stereo PIV test technique are applied to study the inner flow in a double blades pump whose specific speed is 110.9. The commercial code FLUENT is used to simulate the inner flow in the double blades pump at 0.6Qd, 0.8Qd, 1.0Qd, 1.2Qd and 1.4Qd. The RNG k-ε turbulence model and SIMPLEC algorithm are used in FLUENT. According to the results of the three-dimensional steady numerical simulation, the distributions of velocity field in the impeller are obtained at the five different operating conditions. The analysis of the numerical simulation results shows that there is an obvious vortex in the impeller passage at off-design conditions. But the number, location and area of the vortex are different from each operation condition. In order to validate CFD simulation results, the stereo PIV is used to test the absolute velocity distribution in the double blades pump at Jiangsu University. The distributions of three-dimensional absolute velocity field at the above five different operating conditions are obtained by the PIV test, and the measured results are compared with the CFD simulation results. The comparison indicates that there are vortexes in impeller passages of the double blades pump under the five operating conditions. But as to the area of the vortex and the relative velocity values of the vortex core, there are some differences between the experiment results and the numerical simulation results. The research work can be applied to instruct the hydraulic design of double blades pumps.

As the key structure of a practical construction technique, the low-cement extruded curb has been widely used in recent concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs). The extruded curb exhibits significant interactions with the neighboring gravels and with the face slab. These interactions were investigated using element tests, and a new model was proposed. This model is composed of three parts: (i) the equivalent slab that is described using an ideal elastoplasticity model, (ii) the equivalent interface between the curb and the gravel cushion layer that is described using an elastoplasticity damage model, and (iii) the interface between the curb and the face slab that is described using a modified ideal elastoplasticity model. This model was verified via a two-dimensional numerical simulation of an ideal CFRD to capture the main behavior of the extruded curb with interactions between the extruded curb and the neighboring soil – face slab, employing a significantly smaller number of elements and a shorter calculation than direct simulation. The model was used to perform a three-dimensional stress–displacement analysis of the Bakun CFRD (205 m in height), and the results showed that the extruded curb causes a change in the stress of the face slab.
