Based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, applying FLUENT software, taking a de-oil hydrocyclone as an original structure, the effect of porous overflow pipe on the performance and pressure characteristics is analyzed. Effect of overflow-pipe length and diameter of the porous overflow-pipe (POP) hydrocyclone is studied. It is found that the extension of overflow-pipe length can play a coalescent role; the new type hydrocyclone can increase oil content around overflow outlet so as to be beneficial for the enhancement of separation effect.

AbstractNumerical simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is one way of predicting airflow characteristics on the model. This method is widely used because it is relatively inexpensive and faster in getting desired results compared with performing direct testing. The correctness of a computational simulation output is highly dependent on the input and how it was processed. In this paper, simulation is done on Onera M6 Wing, to investigate the effect of a turbulence model’s application on the accuracy of the computational result. The choice of Onera M6 Wing as a simulation’s model is due to its extensive database of testing results from various wind tunnels in the world. Among Turbulence models used are Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, and SST.Keywords: CFD, fluent, Model, Turbulence, Onera M6, Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, SST.AbstraksSimulasi numerik dengan menggunakan metode Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) merupakan salah satu cara untuk memprediksi karakteristik suatu aliran udara yang terjadi pada model.

The reduction in specific fuel consumption (SFC) is crucial for small/mid-size cost-controllable aircraft, which is very conducive to reducing cost and carbon dioxide emissions. To decrease the SFC, increasing the bypass ratio (BPR) is an important way. Conventional high-BPR engines have several limitations, especially the conflicting spool-speed requirements of a fan and a low-pressure turbine. This research proposes an air-driven fan with a tip turbine (ADFTT) as a potential device for a high-bypass propulsion system. Moreover, a possible application of this ADFTT is introduced. Thermodynamic analysis results show that an ADFTT can improve thrust from a prototype turbofan. As a demonstration, we selected a typical small-thrust turbofan as the prototype and applied the ADFTT concept to improve this model. Three-dimensional flow fields were numerically simulated through a Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The performance of this ADFTT has the possibility of amplifying the BPR more than four times and increasing the thrust by approximately 84% in comparison with the prototype turbofan.

In order to enhance the operational safety of tram vehicle and reduce the wear of guide wheels mounted on the vehicle, it is necessary to remove particles such as dusts and silts from tramway surface. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of street vacuum sweeper for sucking up dusts from tramway surface. A numerical model was developed based on dusts removal process. Under different pressure drops across the pickup head of the street vacuum sweeper, the flow field and dusts removal efficiency were analyzed with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The numerical results show that a higher pressure drop can improve the airflow field in the pickup head and results in higher dusts removal efficiency, but higher pressure drop definitely need more energy. Therefore, a balance should be taken into consideration.

In the operation process of permanent magnet governor, the temperature rises due to eddy current loss, and demagnetization of permanent magnet occurs at high temperature. The numerical simulation of fluid flow field and temperature field was carried out with the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and ANSYS-Fluent software. And then we improved the structure of permanent magnet governor on the basis of analysis of the flow field and temperature distribution. The result indicates that the flow of improved structure increases, and temperature drops 46.°C, fulfilling the desired temperature range of permanent magnet can bear, which provides a theory basis for the design of ventilation-cooling structure of permanent magnet governor.

A crack with unusual failure mode after thermal shock test (TST) is observed on the die bulk of certain bare-die FCBGA, in which the crack penetrates longitudinally within silicon die region. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is introduced to investigate this phenomenon. The transient analysis results indicate a significant temperature difference existing between top and bottom surfaces of the silicon die in the very beginning of the liquid-to-liquid temperature transition. This could be fatal to a brittle material like silicon. Some possible solutions are then surveyed to alleviate the thermal impact to the FCBGA. At least one of enhanced proposals is proved effective to eliminate die crack occurrence after TST.

Purpose Using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, this paper aims to investigate the influence of key parameters such as throat diameter; the suction ratio on the flow field behaviors such as Mach number; pressure; and temperature. Design/methodology/approach To investigate the effect of throat diameter, it is simulated for 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm as throat diameters. The governing equations have been solved by standard code of Fluent Software together with a compressible 2 D symmetric and turbulence model with the standard k–ε model. First, the influence of the throat diameter is investigated by keeping the inlet mass flow constant. Findings The results show that a place of shock wave creation is changed by changing the throat diameter. The obtained results illustrate that the maximum amount of Mach number is dependent on the throat diameter. It is obtained from the results that for smaller throats higher Mach numbers can be obtained. Therefore, for mixing purposes smaller throats and for exhausting bigger throats seems to be appropriate. Originality/value The obtained numerical results are compared to the existing experimental ones which show good agreement.
