Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the circulation within the liquid slug on gas-liquid Taylor flow in circular capillaries. The velocity profile within liquid slug was studied, the strength of circulation was considered. The separate influences of the gas bubble velocity, Taylor unit length, capillary diameter and liquid film thickness on the internal circulation in liquid slug were investigated. Parabolic velocity distribution inside liquid was obtained and found to in good agreement with the literature report. The strength of circulation was mainly determined by the gas bubble velocity and the liquid film thickness.

Abstract Regarding wear issues of a dredge pump’s impeller as a cutter suction dredger transports medium coarse sand slurry, blades of the D850 dredge pump are modified and optimized, which extends the distance from the blade inlet root to the impeller suction and avoids damages of the impeller suction anti-wear ring. Analyses via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation show that the head and the efficiency after blade modification have little changes compared with before optimization in the construction flow range of 10000-12000 m3/h under coarse sand condition. While it improves the flow field of impeller’s channels, decreases the vortex at the inlet root of the blades, ensures more uniform distribution of the solid particles. Meanwhile, this is beneficial to reductions of the channels’ wears. Applications from constructions show some improvements in the wears of the blade root. Through the construction data comparison, after replacing the modified impeller, dredging productivity will be increased by 15.1% and the fuel consumption per 10000 m3 will be then reduced by 11.5%.

Focus of this paper is aerodynamic investigation of tie-boss stabilization devices for extremely long rotor blades. This investigation covered measurements on multiple blade cascades and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the flow past these cascades. Conclusions were drawn from results of the measurements and CFD and from the knowledge of prior investigation of the used blade cascade. Main focus of this paper is to describe influence of a tie-boss stabilization device on flow field in interblade channel. Tie-boss with more massive shape proved to cause lesser losses, while tie-boss with a tailored trailing edge showed lesser influence on flow turning.

For the purpose of avoiding the deficiency of the traditional construction ventilation, the ventilation of the underground main powerhouse is simulated by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize ventilation parameters. A 3D unsteady RNG k-ε model is performed for construction ventilation in the underground main powerhouse. The air-flow field and CO diffusion in the main powerhouse are simulated and analyzed. The two construction ventilation schemes are modelled for the main powerhouse. The optimized ventilation scheme is obtained by comparing the air volume and pressure distributions of the different ventilation schemes.

Abstract Determining the proper installation location of flow meters is important for accurate measurement of discharge in sewer systems. In this study, flow field and flow regimes in two types of manholes under surcharged flow were investigated using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The error in measuring the flow discharge using a Doppler flow meter (based on the velocity in a Doppler beam) was then estimated. The values of the corrective coefficient were obtained for the Doppler flow meter at different locations under various conditions. Suggestions for selecting installation positions are provided.

This study focuses on the performance of air conditioning design at the Dazhi Cultural Center and uses a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to discuss the differences in wind velocity and ambient indoor temperature between all-zone air conditioning design and stratified air conditioning design. The results have strong implications for air conditioning design and can improve the indoor air quality of assembly halls.
