Specification of the frictional resistance values of tankers is the first step in managing their fuel consumption. Drag force of a very large crude oil carrier has been calculated using the numerical simulation method. With application of the ANSYS CFX software, the scaled model of the mentioned tanker with the length of 2.74 meters, width of 0.5 meters, draft of 0.17 meters was used for numerical simulation of the drag force in the tanker. Furthermore, the numerical solution of the drag force of the model was performed for 5 different speeds ranging from 0.65 to 0.85m/s. Based on the validations carried out, with mean drafts of 8 and 16.5cm, the difference between the results of the experimental and numerical models at low speeds was about 7%. However, the difference was observed to be up to 15% at higher Froude numbers. The results of the present study with respect to the SALINA are based on the method presented in ISO 19030 standard addressing the performance monitoring during vessel servicing.

The savonius water turbine has a main component, which is blade, the concave portion has a positive work and the convex blade has a negative work. Concave profiles in advancing blade as flow catchers and convex profiles on the returning blade as reflecting flow so that there is a difference in torque. The greater the torque difference the better the turbine performance. The way to enlarge this torque difference is by enlarging the drag force. This study aims to increase the difference in torque by adding a protective circle behind the blade advancing blade. This research uses Solidwork software to design turbines and Ansys CFX 19.2 software to analyze torque. Based on the analysis results, the addition of a protective circle can increase the difference in torque. The largest torque value is owned by the turbine with the addition of a protective circle 10 mm from the blade of 46,524 Nm, the largest power value is owned by the turbine with the addition of a protective circle 10 mm by 182 Watts and the greatest efficiency value is owned by the turbine with the addition of a protective circle 10 mm 50% turbine. The addition of a protective circle 10 mm away from the blade is the most optimal turbine geometry for use in water flow power plants, especially in slow-flow rivers.

We propose a dynamic analysismethod – a refined version of the DEM- that can simulate three-dimensional elastic, failure and collapse behaviors of structures. A structure is modeled as an assembly of rigid elements. Interaction between elements is modeled using multiple springs and multiple dashpots attached to surfaces of the elements. The elements are assumed to be rigid, but the method allows the simulation of structural deformation by permitting penetration between elements. There are two types of springs: one is a restoring spring to simulate elastic behavior before failure and the other is a contact spring for simulating contact and recontact between elements. A contact dashpot is also used to dissipate the energy of contact. Structural failure is modeled by replacing restoring springs with contact springs and dashpots. A method for determining spring constants is also proposed. The validity of the method is confirmed by the numerical simulation of masonry wall models. First, the elastic behavior induced by an impact force is calculated. It is found that the elastic behavior determined using the proposed method is in good agreement with that determined using the finite element method. Second, the seismic behaviors of masonry wall models with different laying patterns and a wall model with reinforcement are analyzed. It is found that the proposed method allows expression of the difference in behavior due to different laying patterns and reinforcement. The validity of the proposed method is thus confirmed. The proposed method is suitable for simulating seismic behavior of masonry structures.

Construction of high-grade highways is an important action to meet the requirement of communication and transportation in permafrost regions. Frame embankment is proposed to reduce the scale effects caused by wide pavement. Numerical simulation method is employed to analyze the improvement of frame embankment for thermal stability of roadbed, with the consideration of global warming. Compared the response of permafrost at symmetric position of each embankment to construction, the consistency degree of response is taken as decision fundament. Two indexes are selected, that is, the difference of permafrost table between the embankment and that at natural side, and the change of mean annual geothermal under the embankment. Additionally, the convenient for construction and wind-blown sand hazard are considered to determine reasonable frame space. So, numerical simulation of flow field of wind around embankments is carried out. It is concluded that the minimum space between two embankment is 6 m. The aim of this study is to provide scientific guidelines on construction of major permafrost engineering in the future.

According to the theory of collapse numerical simulation, the explicit finite element algorithm based on explicit dynamics was chose as the numerical calculation method. And combined with the plane RC frame collapse test and the example of ten layers frame structure, the wire frame model, integrated model and separate model were established and the alternate path method was adopted to study the simulate method of structural collapse. With the comparison of several aspects to the results, the rationality of the numerical simulation method and the applicability of the numerical models were verified respectively. At the same time, according to the complex pre-treatment process to the numerical simulation of structural collapse, an MFC program with the function of exporting APDL file which can generate wireframe models for structural collapse simulation in ANSYS/LS-DYNA was developed using VC++ language with the purpose of offering convenience to the numerical simulation process of structure collapse.

Currently, with the increase in mining output leading to deeper mining levels, the volume ofheading face serving production has also increased. The thermal environment tends to worsen whendigging deep due to the geothermal's effect, which increases the air temperature at the heading face.According to QCVN01/2011-BCT, the temperature at the heading face is not allowed to exceed 300C. Toensure this, in Vietnam today, mainly forced ventilation method uses local fans to provide a clean amountof air to ensure a favorable environment for workers. With the forced ventilation method, the duct positionis usually arranged on the side, and the distance from the duct mouth to the heading face is determined toensure that l < 6√s. In this study, a numerical simulation method by Ansys CFX software is applied tostudy the influence of several factors such as duct position, air temperature of duct, and roughnesscharacteristics of roadway on the temperature of the mine air at the heading face. The models are set upwith six duct positions and four air temperature of duct parameters. Model 1 (y =1.1 m) is better thanmodels 2 to 6 in terms of temperature distribution and the lowest temperature values. Four models havedifferent wind temperatures, and we can see the significant influence of the inlet air temperature of theduct on the thermal environment of the heading face. The results show that with the model T = 297.15K,the temperature value on the roadway length is guaranteed as specified < 303K. The result is a referencefor determining the duct position and cool for the high-temperature heading face.

One of the main reasons for coal mine fire is spontaneous combustion of residual coal in gob. As the difference of compaction degree of coal and rock, the underground gob can be considered as a porous medium and divided into “three zones” in accordance with the criteria. The “three zones” are “heat dissipation zone”, “oxidation zone” and “choking zone”, respectively. Temperature programming experiments are taken and numerical simulation with obtained experimental data is utilized to analyze the distribution of “three zones” in this paper. Different width and depth of “oxidation zone” are obtained when the inlet air velocity is changed. As the nitrogen injection has inhibition effect on spontaneous combustion of residual coal in gob, nitrogen is injected into the gob. The widths of “oxidation zone” are compared before and after nitrogen injection. And ultimately the optimum location and volume of nitrogen injection are found out.
