Calculation Results

A typical submersible well pump was investigated in this article. The whole flow field of submersible well pump was numerically simulated by computational fluid dynamics software. The influence of clearance of wear-rings on the external characteristic and internal flow field was analyzed through comparing the calculation results with experimental results. The result of the numerical simulation shows that changing clearance of front wear-ring has a greater impact on pump performances than changing clearance of back wear-ring, and the head and efficiency of pump decrease with the increase in the size of clearance. Especially when the size of clearance is larger than 0.5 mm, decreasing becomes more obvious. When the front and back wear-ring size of the clearance comes to 1.0 mm, the efficiency decreases from the highest point of 75.31% to 65.44% at rated flow, and the head of pump decreases about 3.5 m. When the size of clearance is 0.2 mm, reverse-flow will appear in the front shroud cavity of the impeller, and leakage from back wear-ring through the balance hole into the impeller, which has a little influence on the flow field of the impeller inlet.

The Shell-and-tube type heat exchangers have long been widely used in many fields of industry. These types of heat exchangers are generally easy to design, manufacturing and maintenance, but require relatively large spaces to install. Therefore the optimization of such heat exchangers from thermal and economical points of view is of particular interest. In this article, an optimization procedure based on the minimum total cost (initial investment plus operational costs) has been applied. Then the flow analysis of the optimized heat exchanger has been carried out to reveal possible flow field and temperature distribution inside the equipment using computational fluid dynamics. The experimental results were compared with computational fluid dynamics analyses results. It has been concluded that the baffles play an important role in the development of the shell side flow field. This prompted us to investigate new baffle geometries without compromising from the overall thermal performance. It has been found that the heat exchanger with the new baffle design gives rise to considerably lower pressure drops in the shell side, which in turn reducing operating cost. The new baffle design is particularly well suited for shell-and-tube heat exchangers, where a viscous fluid flows through shell side with/out phase change.

Ventilation Scheme

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.

An inner-outer coupled cooling technology of molten steel for 1240×200mm slab continuous casting, that is to set an inner cooler—U shape pipes in the mold, is put forward in order to enhance the efficiency of transmitting heat and improve inner structure of billet. The flow status and solidification status of molten steel under coupling flow field and temperature field in inner-outer coupled cooling mold are simulated by using fluid dynamics software, and compare with those in traditional mold. It is found that setting inner cooler in the mold can make molten steel flow status even, which is favorable to floating up of the inclusion, quickening the solidification of steel liquid and improving the quality of billet.

Four types of Super Typhoon drip emitter with trapezoidal channel were selected out for the investigation of the flow field of the channel, and the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method was applied to simulate the micro-field inside the channel. The simulation results showed that the emitter discharge of different turbulent model is 4%-14% bigger than that of the experimental results, the average discharge deviation of κ-ω and RSM model is 5, 4.5 respectively, but the solving efficiency of the κ-ω model is obviously higher than that of the RSM model.

By using the computational fluid dynamics code, FLUENT, Numerically simulation is investigated for Youngshou power plant. Under the constant ambient temperature, the effects of different wind speed and wind direction on the thermal flow field are qualitatively considered. It was found that when considering about the existing and normally operating power plants, the thermal flow field is more sensitive to wind direction and wind speed. Based on the above results, three improved measures such as: increasing the wind-wall height and accelerating the rotational speed of the fans near the edge of the ACC platform and lengthen or widen the platform are developed to effectively improving the thermal flow field, and enhanced the heat dispersal of ACC.
