A device was designed to study the small holes by the rotary combined ultrasonic and electrochemical machining, and the gap between cathode and anode in the processing was also analyzed. A three-dimensional model of flow field was developed in ANSYS CFX software based on FEM by the gas-liquid two-phase fluid cavitations model as well as the effect of rotary cathode and the vibrated cathode to the flow field was analyzed. The simulation showed that the pressure and the velocity of the electrolyte in the gap were oscillated by additional motion of cathode, which is helpful to the electrochemical machining. The comparison of rotary electrochemical machining and the rotary combined ultrasonic and electrochemical machining showed that the rotary combined ultrasonic and electrochemical machining has better ability of making small holes than that of rotary electrochemical machining

This study proposes a methodology for the calibration of combined sewer overflow (CSO), incorporating the results of the three-dimensional ANSYS CFX model in the SWMM one-dimensional model. The procedure consists of constructing calibration curves in ANSYS CFX that relate the input flow to the CSO with the overflow, to then incorporate them into the SWMM model. The results obtained show that the behavior of the flow over the crest of the overflow weir varies in space and time. Therefore, the flow of entry to the CSO and the flow of excesses maintain a non-linear relationship, contrary to the results obtained in the one-dimensional model. However, the uncertainty associated with the idealization of flow methodologies in one dimension is reduced under the SWMM model with kinematic wave conditions and simulating CSO from curves obtained in ANSYS CFX. The result obtained facilitates the calibration of combined sewer networks for permanent or non-permanent flow conditions, by means of the construction of curves in a three-dimensional model, especially when the information collected in situ is limited.

Extensive experimental studies on axial compressor bleed-flow systems have been carried out on a three dimensional model of a generic bleed-flow configuration typical for aero engines. The compressor flow is modeled as a clean annular flow. One row of stator vanes is used to impart a constant swirl upstream of the bleed system. The rig is designed modularly in order to allow for inexpensive changes in all of its components and therefore to enlarge the variability of the model. The research is focused onto the generation of an experimental data base, which can be used to derive correlations for the calculation of effective areas and pressure losses. Those data are gained using steady pneumatic measurement technique. In addition, the highly complex flow field in the manifold, which has an important effect onto the bleed-flow, is analyzed using Doppler-Global-Velocimetry (DGV). These measurements were conducted in collaboration with DLR Cologne, who have developed the DGV technique. In this paper the flow field in the manifold is analyzed in detail for two different configurations featuring two and four bleed ducts, respectively. Furthermore the use of a flush design of the slot is compared with a lip design. These data are compared to results from the literature achieved using 2-dimensional configurations.

The liquid floating rotor gyro is a gyroscope using electrostatic or electromagnetic forces to levitate rotor, and filling rotor-stator cavities with liquid in order to improve stability of motion. Under influence of the relative surface roughness, rotor velocity, dimension of flow field and fluid nature, flow characteristics of cavity flow field vary under different boundary conditions and geometrical conditions. This paper adopts three-dimensional model and periodic boundary conditions to conduct numerical modeling on cavity flow field. Its results show that, with velocity rising, distribution of flow field speed and pressure manifests partial fluctuations in turbulent-flow-intensive area; resistance torque amid rotor rotation is nonlinearly correlated with velocity, whose rules can be obtained through high-order curve fitting.

Exhaust passage is a significant part of the gasoline engine, its structure will affects the gas flow characteristics of the engine directly [1]. So, research and analysis of the exhaust tract is essential. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the flow field under cold state and hot state was made. For a start, the method of laser scanning and UG software were used to reverse modeling engine exhaust port and get the three-dimensional model. The next, the unstructured grid with local mesh refinement scheme was used to mesh this three-dimensional model with ICEM. After this, numerical simulations of the exhaust passage with five different valve lifts were carried out under thermal and cold conditions. Finally, comparing the velocity field and pressure field of the exhaust passage under cold state and thermal state, it can be find that the flow field under hot and cold state have similar characteristics. The results of this paper can provide a theoretical basis for following researches of the engine exhaust port.

Abstract The paper discusses the numerical algorithm constructing a three-dimensional model for a flow of two-phase incompressible fluid caused by the mass force of gravity in a porous medium. The algorithm is based on a combination of a hybrid upwind method with an explicit scheme for determination of the saturation. The hybrid upwinding allows us to take into account flows of fluid of various nature (in this case, viscous and gravitational flows) separately, which is extremely important in the case of gravitational flow with opposite directions of phase flows. The explicit scheme being extremely simple in implementation provides a small dispersion of solutions on discontinuities. The proposed algorithm is illustrated by the results of numerical experiments demonstrating the monotonicity of the method considered in this paper.
