Computational grids of the complex internal flow passage in air pre-filter were generated, using the partitioned mixed grids. Based on the method of user-defined functions controlling sliding mesh, a program of defining moving boundary was proposed, and numerical simulation of the rotor movement transient controlled by the flow field of air pre-filter was achieved. Based on the theory of Euler-Lagrange phase flows, stochastic particle trajectory model and cell source method were adopted to calculate the trajectories and concentration distributions of particle phase in air pre-filter.

Numerical simulation on two-phase combustion characteristic in afterburning chamber of solid rocket ramjet was carried out by applying particle trajectory model. It was analyzed that the nozzle number of secondary combustion chamber, inlet angle of air and particles diameter impact on efficiency of combustion. Results show that the combustion efficiency in the afterburning chamber is highest, achieving 99.6% when the angle between both air inlets is 180°, particle diameter is 15μm, and 5-hole nozzle is used. By contrary, when the angle between both air inlets is 90°, particle diameter is 5μm, and 5-hole nozzle is used, the afterburning chamber has a lowest combustion efficiency of 70.3%.

This work presents the simulation of the internal flow in a swirl atomizer. The geometry of the atomizer is calculated by analytical equations used in engineering. The numerical simulation of the two-phase flow is performed by using two equations k-ε turbulence model. The fluids are presented as two-fluid homogeneous model. The interface between two phases is calculated by free surface model. The distribution fields of the axial and tangential velocities, pressures and air core are obtained. The aim of this work is to compare the results obtained by numerical simulation with ones obtained analytically. Also, to study the internal fluids flow inside the atomizer.

Abstract In solid rocket motors (SRMS) using aluminized composite solid propellants and submerged nozzles a two-phase flow pattern is one of the main flow characteristics needs to be investigated. The modeling and validation of two-phase flow are the focus in this research field. In this paper the authors first traced the particle trajectory in a SRM chamber by using numerical method, and then developed a new experimental method to measure the particle trajectory in a SRM chamber to validate the numerical results. The experimental method was based on the RTR (X-ray Real-time Radiography) technique and high-speed motion analyzer. A special method was developed to imitate the particle injection on the propellant surface. The calculation results and measurement data show that the trajectory obtained by numerical simulation was in good agreement with the measured one by imposing proper boundary conditions. For particles with diameter of 75μm, the initial velocity factor of particle is approximately 0.4, and the particles pass through the centerline in both calculation and experiment. The present method can be extended to study the impingement of particles on the wall and other related two-phase flow patterns.

Structure and principle of the new leakage current particulate matter (PM) sensor are introduced and further study is performed on the PM sensor with the combination of numerical simulation and bench test. High voltage electrode, conductive shell, and heaters are all built-in. Based on the principle of Venturi tube and maze structure design, this sensor can detect transient PM concentrations. Internal flow field of the sensor and distribution condition of PM inside the sensor are analyzed through gas-solid two-phase flow numerical simulation. The experiment was also carried out on the whole sensor system (including mechanical and electronic circuit part) and the output signals were analyzed. The results of simulation and experiment reveal the possibility of PM concentration (mass) detection by the sensor.

Existing models of two-phase fluctuating velocity correlation moments are unsatisfactory because of their inability to clearly identify the dependency of two-phase velocity covariance on fluid- and particle-phase velocity second moments. This is especially true of wall-bounded turbulent flows. In this paper, the statistical fluctuating velocity of both phases in particle-laden turbulent channel flows were obtained numerically by means of direct numerical simulation (DNS) coupled to the Lagrangian particle trajectory method. The effects of particle Stokes number on the scaling of two-phase fluctuating velocity correlation moments were analyzed considering effects of flow inhomogeneity. An improved two-phase correlation closure model of exponential decay with emphasis on the particle-phase kinetic energy was then proposed based on the results of an evaluation of five existing models. This new model was found to be better than previous models, which used local equilibrium assumption. The present investigations may facilitate understanding of two-phase flow physics and the construction of models capable of predicting the movements of particle-laden turbulent flows accurately using Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) methods.

The numerical simulation of a 3-D model of the internal flow field for a Vortex slurry pump has been analyzed in this paper. The impact of different solids volume fraction on the distribution of solid particle was analyzed. The expression of the pump head and efficiency was derived by the energy equation. The results show that either on the long blades or on the short blades, the content of the solid particles increases with the increasing of the volume fraction. The results by the expression of the pump head and efficiency are compared with the results of the simulations. The conclusions show that the expression results are similar with the numerical simulation results, and the main factors of affecting the inner and outer characteristics are the solid particles.

To explore the screw centrifugal pump performance change, and the impact of solid-liquid two-phase flow on the screw centrifugal pump, the internal flow of type 150×100LN-32 centrifugal pump is used as the research object. Mixture multiphase flow model, standard k-ε turbulence model and the sliding mesh technique are used to carry out the unsteady numerical simulation to describe internal flow field in screw centrifugal pump. By Setting the monitoring point to get the pressure pulsation characteristics and predict the changes in the energy performance. Open laboratory bench tests are carried out to verify the reliability of the numerical methods. Based on this, the impact of the two-phase flow on the screw centrifugal pump is analyzed. The results indicate that the head-flow curve presents a hump-shaped with the increasing of the flow. The maximum of efficiency appears. At the same time, the change of the volume concentration of the solid phase has little effect on the energy performance of screw centrifugal pump. But at different times, the head decreases and the power increases with the increasing of the concentration.
