This paper focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the dynamic exploited influence of wind field in the open pit quarry. We have picked up 3 normal exploitation parameters, e.g. the exploited depth z, the type of small hills and the measured velocity u1, 7 simulated experiments have been done by software Fluent as well. In our experiments, the features of velocity field around the mine are shown, with the effects of open pit quarry, so as to analyze the changes of wind speed when it gets through this mine. To be exact, it will be possible to deduce there is negative correlation between the velocity decreased gratitude and the exploited depth. Besides, with the shelter effect of a small hill, the wind speed tends to slow down near this hill, and turn back to rise until the flow leaves the hill far away. The velocity decreasing has positive correlation with the measured velocity u1, and the reverse flow is more likely to appear with higher u1.

The power generated in wind turbine depends on wind speed and parameters of blade geometry like aerofoil shape, blade radius, chord length, pitch angle, solidity, etc. Aerofoil selection is the crucial factor in establishing the efficient wind turbine. More than one aerofoil in a blade can increase the efficiency further. Previous studies of different aerofoils have shown that efficiency of small scale wind turbine increases when NREL S822 aerofoil is used for wind speed on and above 10 m/s. This paper introduces a study on effect of low wind speed (V = 5 m/s) on performance of blade profile. Aerofoils NREL S822/S823 are used for microwind turbine with S823 near root and S822 near tip. Blade of 3 m radius with spherical tubercles over entire span is analyzed considering 5 deg angle of attack. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was carried out using ANSYS fluent to study the behavior of blade profile at various contours. The study shows that blade experiences maximum turbulence and minimum pressure near trailing edge of the tip of blade. The region also experiences maximum velocity of the flow. These factors result in pushing the aerofoil in upward direction for starting the wind turbine to rotate at the speed as low as 5 m/s.

This paper presents a combined experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of Micro wind Turbine with 2.28 meters rotor Diameter is performed using the FLUENT 16.2 WORKBENCH. A Micro Horizontal Axis Three Blade Wind Turbine was designed, developed and tested for power performance on new airfoil AFN2016 Designed. The three blades were fabricated from glass fiber with a rotor swept area of 3.14 sq.m for the 1-meter length of the blade and angle of attack experimentally determined to be 5º.The blade is designed for tip speed ratio (TSR) of 7. The power out measured for wind speed from 3.0m/s to 9.0 m/s. The comparison of the CFD and experimental results on the relationship between the power obtained and the wind speed of the wind turbine at the wind from 3-9 m/s. It can be clearly seen that the experimental data match quite well again with the numerical analysis and they both demonstrated that the power of wind turbine increasing with wind speed increases.

AbstractWe investigated the change in the retinal gas cover rates due to intraocular gas volume and positions using computational eye models and demonstrated the appropriate position after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with gas tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs). Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software was used to calculate the retinal wall wettability of a computational pseudophakic eye models using fluid analysis. The model utilized different gas volumes from 10 to 90%, in increments of 10% to the vitreous cavity in the supine, sitting, lateral, prone with closed eyes, and prone positions. Then, the gas cover rates of the retina were measured in each quadrant. When breaks are limited to the inferior retina anterior to the equator or multiple breaks are observed in two or more quadrants anterior to the equator, supine position maintained 100% gas cover rates in all breaks for the longest duration compared with other positions. When breaks are limited to either superior, nasal, or temporal retina, sitting, lower temporal, and lower nasal position were maintained at 100% gas cover rates for the longest duration, respectively. Our results may contribute to better surgical outcomes of RRDs and a reduction in the duration of the postoperative prone position.

Accurate analysis of the resin filling process into the mold cavity is necessary for the high-precision fabrication of moth-eye nanostructure using the ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) technique. In this research, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation model was proposed to reveal resin filling behavior, in which the effect of boundary slip was considered. By comparison with the experimental results, a good consistency was found, indicating that the simulation model could be used to analyze the resin filling behavior. Based on the proposed model, the effects of process parameters on resin filling behavior were analyzed, including resin viscosity, inlet velocity and resin thickness. It was found that the inlet velocity showed a more significant effect on filling height than the resin viscosity and thickness. Besides, the effects of boundary conditions on resin filling behavior were investigated, and it was found the boundary slip had a significant influence on resin filling behavior, and excellent filling results were obtained with a larger slip velocity on the mold side. This research could provide guidance for a more comprehensive understanding of the resin filling behavior during UV-NIL of subwavelength moth-eye nanostructure.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the load characteristics of steel and concrete tubular members under jet fire, with the motivation to investigate the jet fire load characteristics in FPSO topsides. This paper is part of Phase II of the joint industry project on explosion and fire engineering of FPSOs (EFEF JIP) [1]. To obtain reliable load values, jet fire tests were carried out in parallel with a numerical study. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was used to set up an adiabatic wall boundary condition for the jet fire to model the heat transfer mechanism. A concrete tubular member was tested under the assumption that there is no conduction effect from jet fire. A steel tubular member was tested and considered to transfer heat through conduction, convection, and radiation. The temperature distribution, or heat load, was analyzed at specific locations on each type of member. ANSYS CFX [2] and Kameleon FireEx [3] codes were used to obtain similar fire action in the numerical and experimental methods. The results of this study will provide a useful database to determine design values related to jet fire.

Rotational Shear

SummaryGeological investigations and borehole drilling on the southern margin of the Bovey basin around Mainbow ball clay mine and Ringslade open pit have shown that Devonian slate up to 30 m thick is superimposed on Tertiary sediments. A drag fold beneath the slate indicates that the slate has moved eastwards over the Tertiary material. As the slate is relatively intact and not disaggregated, hillcreep cannot be responsible for the superimposition. A large landslip involving a rotational shear cannot be responsible, as the movement plane dips into the hill over too large an area. The southern margin of the Bovey basin is therefore interpreted as a thrust fault of Tertiary age, with thrust plane dipping 10° to 30° S. It is suggested that this is a rejuvenation of the Variscan thrust recognized in the Bickington area and further west in the Holne area and that the movement on the Tertiary thrust is related to the dextral wrench movement on the Sticklepath fault.
