基于无黏性双流体简化模型在商业化软件平台上,通过增加用户自定义子程序考察了Gidaspow、Syamlal-O’Brien、Di Felice、Gibilaro、Dallavalle和BVK曳力模型对液固散式流态化CFD模拟结果的影响行为,探讨了相应的影响机制。经与文献中不同颗粒Reynolds数的代表性实验数据对比后发现：BVK和Dallavalle曳力模型对床层膨胀高度和整体固含率的预测精度较高;BVK、Syamlal-O’Brien以及Dallavalle曳力模型给出的床内固含率径向分布较为准确;BVK曳力模型较为准确地再现了颗粒轴向速度的径向分布特征。BVK曳力模型的影响机制与液固散式流态化中颗粒动力学特性相符合,在所考察范围内其预测性能最优;Dallavalle曳力模型在其余5个传统模型中预测性能较优且形式简洁在程序中易于实现。     

低流量下等高差自然循环系统倒流现象实验研究

自然循环系统由于具有固有安全性而被广泛应用于核电站中。等高差自然循环系统是一种特殊的系统,其加热段与水箱之间是通过上下水平段连接。在低流量条件下,这类自然循环系统会发生水箱冷水倒流至上水平段的现象,目前对该现象的研究并不常见。对等高度差自然循环系统的上水平段倒流特性进行了可视化实验研究。实验结果表明,上水平段倒流长度随流量的增加而减小,随着加热段出口流体与倒流流体温差的增大而增加。研究发现,上水平段倒流现象主要受加热段出口流体惯性力和与倒流流体形成的浮升力共同影响,并且倒流现象的发生可以通过Richardson数来判定。     

Hydrodynamics study of a fast liquid–liquid oxidation process with in situ gas production in microreactors

Hydrodynamics characteristics of a fast and highly exothermic liquid–liquid oxidation process with in situ gas production in microreactors were studied using a newly developed experimental method. In the adipic acid synthesis through the K/A oil (the mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone) oxidation with nitric acid, bubble generation modes were divided into four categories. The gas production became more intensive, unstable, even explosive with increasing the oil phase feed rate and the temperature. A novel automatic image processing method was developed to monitor the instantaneous velocity online by tracking the gas–liquid interface. The axial velocity at the same location was unstable due to the changing gas production rate. Furthermore, the actual residence time was obtained easily with being only 36% of the space–time minimally, beneficial for establishing accurate kinetics and mass transfer models with time participation. Finally, an empirical correlation was developed to predict the actual residence time under different conditions.     

Numerical Simulation of Interfacial Closures for 3D Bubble Column Flows

Numerical investigation of flow hydrodynamics in a square cross‐sectioned bubble column was conducted in a transient Euler‐Euler environment by applying the simulation tool Ansys CFX 14.0. The influence of the drag coefficient (C_D) was investigated and the results were also compared with drag force models. Furthermore, three different lift force models and a defined lift coefficient were studied. All results were compared with the available experimental data. All simulations were carried out for a single‐hole sparger with given aspect ratio (H/D) and superficial gas velocity.     

Coupled DEM-SPH simulations of wet continuous screening

During screening, a liquid stream, besides the vibration, can be applied for the acceleration of the separation. The discrete element method coupled with the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (DEM-SPH) is used to numerically analyse wet continuous screening here. Within the applied DEM-SPH a new simple model for the representation of the screening surface is suggested in this study. In this model, the influence of the screening surface on the fluid is represented using external forces, which act on the SPH particles in close vicinity of the screen. A required validation of the DEM-SPH method for the analysis of a vibrated particle-laden system is performed by comparing obtained DEM-SPH results with the results derived using the DEM coupled with finite volume method. The performed simulations of dry and wet continuous screening demonstrate that flowing water, in most simulated cases, accelerates the separation of particles. The presented study demonstrates the potential of the coupled DEM-SPH method for the analysis of wet screening processes. To our best knowledge, the simulation of wet screening using a two-way coupled numerical DEM-SPH approach not resolving the flow around individual particles is demonstrated in the scientific literature for the first time.     

Combining remote sensing with physical flow laws to estimate river channel geometry

A reliable representation of river terrains is essential to river research. Field surveys of river channel geometry are time‐consuming, costly, and logistically constrained and thus would encounter difficulties to achieve sufficient spatial coverage, resolution, and frequency of resurvey. This paper aims to demonstrate an efficient approach to building a river terrain model (RTM), the emphasis being on how to combine bathymetry and topography derived from satellite images captured at different flow stages. A method for calculating the difference between high and low stages (DHLS) based on the uniform‐flow theory is proposed. Calculations are carried out for a 13‐km long meandering section of the gravel‐bed Goulais River in Canada, which features pools and riffles, alternating point bars, and midchannel bars. A RTM for this complex section has been successfully produced. It consists of three data components: bathymetry at low stage, topography at high stage, and DHLS. The results capture realistic characteristics, including thalweg shift, steep outer banks, and gradual inner banks. They also show realistic longitudinal and lateral locations of pools and riffles. To illustrate potential applications of RTM, this paper has computed extreme bed shear stresses at bankfull discharge through hydrodynamics simulations of depth‐averaged flow in the river section and further estimated bed‐sediment grain‐size distributions. The estimates compare well with field measurements. The DHLS can vary significantly along a river channel. The proposed method for determining it is not site‐specific, and hence applicable to other rivers. The novelty of the methodology discussed lies in combining remote sensing techniques with physical flow laws.

水力冲击内蕴初始裂纹混凝土致裂机理

为研究水力冲击内蕴初始裂纹混凝土破碎机理,采用光滑粒子流体动力学(SPH)方法建立了水力冲击含竖向裂纹混凝土数值模型,并基于图像处理技术,量化表征了混凝土致裂区破碎规律。研究表明:在初始裂纹弱作用区,水锤效应导致液固接触边界出现剪切断裂,贯通后形成近似"碗状"破碎坑;在初始裂纹强作用区,液固接触边界压剪应力和初始裂纹上部应力集中共同作用引发了初始裂纹上尖端裂纹;"水楔+砼楔"效应与初始裂纹下部应力集中导致了初始裂纹下尖端裂纹;水力冲击激发的应力波在自由边界和初始裂纹反射后相互叠加,引发了锥形裂纹;混凝土破碎度沿射流轴向呈非线性阶跃衰减,表明初始裂纹对混凝土破碎演化有明显阻断及强干扰作用。

受全球气候变暖的影响,由极端天气引发的类似溃坝等问题发生的概率大大增加,深入研究溃坝水流的水动力特性势在必行。在分析光滑粒子流体动力学基本原理的基础上,提出了一种改进的边界处理方法,即将接近壁面的流体视为层流,在耦合动力边界附近引入层流黏性近似边界层理论。采用该方法对溃坝水流进行数值模拟,将SPH数值模拟得到的外轮廓、自由液面高度以及压力与实验结果进行了比较和分析。结果表明：改进的边界处理方法较完整地得到了水流与壁面相互作用而产生的多种复杂的物理现象,其外部轮廓与实验非常吻合;自由表面融合过程中液面间冲击的能量耗散会导致融合后的液面高度存在一些差异;不同监测点处压力随时间的变化基本落在置信区间之内。数值模拟结果与实验结果吻合度较高,验证了改进方案的可靠性和计算结果的准确性。
