A system for time-fluctuating flow rate measurements in a single-blade pump circuit

Commonly used flow rate measurement systems provide an accurate and stable output value of the quasi-stationary flow rate. In some pump types as e.g. single-blade pumps significant flow rate fluctuations may occur even in steady operation points due to rotor-stator interaction. For the analysis of the time-resolved flow rate a new measurement and evaluation method is presented based on an electromagnetic flow meter. Internal averaging of the flow meter is deactivated and the raw signal is evaluated directly with a sampling rate of 3 kHz. With ensemble-averaging in combination with an impeller position detection, interfering signals acting on the time-resolved measurement signal are filtered out. Accompanying numerical simulations of the pump flow circuit are carried out with a 1D method of characteristics and validated against well-established time-resolved pressure measurements of the pump flow. Experiment and simulation show a resembling trend of pressure as well as flow rate fluctuations over the entire operation range of the pump. Thus, by the combined utilisation of measurement and simulation technique, we assure the validity of the ensemble-averaged flow rate fluctuation results. We find that the flow rate fluctuations show a consistent phase shift to the pressure fluctuations that increases towards overload. The flow rate amplitude is an order of magnitude smaller than the amplitude of the pressure fluctuations.     

Application of the sampling moiré method to shallow open-channel flows with circular roughness elements

This research presents an application of the sampling moiré method, a novel technique originally developed for measuring slight deformation of a static object such as a plate, to fluctuating free water surface in rough open channel flows. The method was used to capture the two-dimensional water surface deformation at a high sampling rate by dyeing the color of water white. The target flow was a very shallow subcritical flow with a depth of 1.5 times the height of the roughness. As a result, a series of instantaneous water surface profiles with non-uniform rough planes were successfully measured at a sampling rate of 100 Hz.It has become clear that the effect of dispersive gravity waves traveling on the water surface is greater than that of non-dispersive waves driven by the turbulence, and that this feature becomes more pronounced as the Froude number increases in such shallow flow conditions. Furthermore, it was experimentally and theoretically verified that the intensity of water surface fluctuation increases with the square of the Froude number. The decomposition of surface fluctuations due to gravity waves and subsurface turbulence using the wavenumber frequency spectrum revealed that the effects of subsurface turbulence are about 20%. This is much less than the contribution from gravity waves in very shallow flows as in this experiment.

Study of residual stress variation with depth of friction stir welded aluminium plates with different thicknesses

ABSTRACT

The residual stress may greatly vary through thickness due to the large temperature gradients and severe plastic deformation in depth for thick section friction stir welded plates. AA 2024-T351 plates with 6.5, 12 and 20?mm thicknesses were joined by friction stir welding to investigate the differences of residual stress variations with depth between thin and thick plates. The surface residual stresses were compared between the X-ray diffraction and contour measurements. Significant variations of stress peaks, root central residual stresses and widths of ‘M’ profiles were observed along the thickness for thick plates. The origins of the aggravated variations with depth were investigated from the temperature gradients and material flow variations through thickness.

Optical in-process height measurement system for process control of laser metal-wire deposition

We propose an in-process height measurement system for a weld bead and feedback control system for wire-feeding speed for high-quality laser deposition. Metal additive manufacturing, especially laser metal-wire deposition, is effective for complex shape fabrication and repair processing. However, we must control the gap between a weld bead and a feed wire in an optimal range for high-quality deposition. Conventionally, the Z-stage pitch for multi-layer deposition must be precisely adjusted by each deposition shape. In this paper, we design an in-process height measurement system that is integrated in a laser processing head, which measures the weld bead height by a line section method. We decreased the influence of the intense thermal radiation generated from a melt pool by inserting the band-pass filter of the line beam's wavelength in the imaging system and optimizing its line laser power. Consequently, our system can measure the weld bead height near the melt pool, which is 4 mm in front of it. Next we show that our proposed system can measure the weld bead height during wire-laser metal deposition with 50-μm accuracy by comparing its value to the true value. Finally, we achieved a cylinder shape deposition of 50-mm height, regardless of the Z-stage pitch and the cylinder diameter of the multi-layer deposition, by controlling the wire-feeding speed based on the measured weld bead height.
