Numerical simulation method of the internal flow field of fluid machinery has become an important technology in the study of fluid machinery design. In order to obtain a high-performance cement slurry mixer, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are used to simulate the flow field in the mixer, and the simulation results are studied. According to the analysis results, the structural parameters of the mixer are modified. The results show the mixer under the revised parameters meet the design requirements well. So CFD analysis method can shorten design period and provide valuable theoretical guidance for the design of fluid machinery.

This paper mainly makes comparative analysis on four main types of blade in stirred bioreactor by Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulation. Firstly we establish simulation method suited for stirred bioreactor, then simulate the velocity and shear force of flow field in the bioreactor. No matter from flow field mixing or shear force aspect, Elephant Ear blades is the most suitable for cell large scale culture. At last, it optimizes the installation method and angle of Elephant Ear blades. It concludes that anticlockwise rotation and 45°installation angle is the optimum.

In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation method based on the polyhedral nested grid is developed. By comparing the simulation and test results of the hovering flow field of the Caradonna–Tung rotor, the forward flight flow field of the AH-1G rotor, the interference flow field of the Robin rotor/fuselage, and the hovering and forward flight flow field of a coaxial rotor, it is proven that the method proposed in this paper can achieve high calculation accuracy under various working conditions. The dual time-stepping method is used for the transient simulation, and the Spalart–Allmaras (S-A) turbulence model, which is widely used in aviation, is adopted in the simulation.

Propeller fans are required not only to have high performance but also to be extremely quiet. The internal flow field of ventilation propeller fans is even more complicated because they usually have a very peculiar configuration with protruding blades upstream. Thus, many kinds of internal vortices yield which cause noise and their cause and countermeasures are needed to be clarified. The purposes of this paper are to visualize the internal flow of the propeller fan from the static and rotating frame of reference. The internal flow visualization measured from the static frame gives approximately the scale of the tip vortex. The visualization from the rotating coordinate system yields a better understanding of the flow phenomena occurring at the specific blade. The experiment is implemented by using a small camera mounted on the shaft of the fan and rotated it to capture the behavior of the vortices using a laser light sheet to irradiate the blade surface. Hence, the flow field of the specific blade could be understood to some extent. The visualized results are compared with the CFD results and these results show a similar tendency about the generation point and developing process of the tip vortex. In addition, it is found that the noise measurement result is relevant to the effect of tip vortex from the visualization result.

This paper investigates how the structure of the flow field and the vertical distribution of the pollutant concentration near the wall facades of street canyons are affected by the presence of some elements such as street level galleries. Numerical results are presented for various gallery geometries in combination with facade roughness elements (balconies) for a canyon of an aspect ratio equal to h/w=2.33. The results were obtained by a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation employing the ANSYS-FLUENT suite that incorporated the k-e turbulent (RNG) model. The simulation generated several flow structures inside the canyon (mainly vortices), whose characteristic properties (e.g. number, strength and size) are discussed in terms of the effect of the galleries on the flow field structure and the roughness generated by the building façade balconies. The results indicate a significant influence on both the flow field structure and the mass concentration distribution of the polluting particles.

In this paper, calculating fluid dynamics (CFD) method is utilized for analyzing the precision compound sand control screen internal flow field so as to establish appropriate models. During this numerical calculation, by using the - turbulence model is used to simulate the resistance characteristics under different working conditions when crude oil flows through precision compound sand control screen, analyze its speed change rule, flow path and pressure distribution, etc. The use of porous media model to simulate the resistance of the oil screen effect, the oil screen is replaced by the porous jump surface to simulate the strainer of pressure drop. To screen sand control performance and reduce the flow resistance to provide theoretical support, make the reservoir production losses to a minimum.

Multi-layers parallel plates perfusion bioreactor has the potential advantage in cells cultivation of tissue engineering and good scalability for cells cultivation on a large scale. It is necessary to analyze the distribution of flow shear stress (FSS) of bioreactors which has strong influence on the growth of cells. The result of meshing was not satisfactory because of the complexity of multi-layers parallel plates when using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze the FSS, and the amount of calculation was great and complex especially under the process of influence on FSS caused by analyzing the different structure. The new method of simplified flow field analysis was presented in this paper, which was based on relation between FSS and flow and made the process simpler by analyzing distribution of rate instead of FSS. The simulation result showed that this method can satisfy the requirement of precision and provide reference for the analysis of the flow field which had the established relationship between structural parameters and laminar flow within it.

Abstract Squeeze film damper (SFD) is widely adopted in the high performance rotor-bearing systems to eliminate rotor vibration and improve stability. Experiments show that the air ingestion from the open end would have notable impact on the SFD performance. Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculation on the air ingestion in the SFD is conducted in this work. Results are validated with the experimental data to prove the capability of the multiphase CFD on predicting the air ingestion. Air and oil flow in the SFD are analyzed in details. By comparing the CFD results with and without air ingestion, the effect of air ingestion is revealed. Results show that CFD is capable of predicting the air-oil flow in the SFD. The maximum air region is located in the vicinity of the largest bearing clearance region rather than the low pressure zone. And air ingestion in the largest bearing clearance region counteracts the hydrodynamic pressure effect in the vicinity.
