Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Fluid flow through a closed curved conduit has always been a topic of extensive research, as it has many practical and industrial applications. The flow is generally characterized by a presence of secondary flow, vortical motions and pressure losses for different flow regimes. These observed irregularities may positively or negatively impact the flow. They are beneficial for cases where mixing of fluids is required, usually observed for multiphase flow regimes or detrimental for cases involving particles in the fluid. There are also instances where a particle-laden fluid transported through the curved pipe was directly related to corrosion- erosion related problems. …


Simulation And Analysis Of Gas Replacement In Sealed Capsule, Xiaohui Guan, Zhou Lin Jan 2019

Simulation And Analysis Of Gas Replacement In Sealed Capsule, Xiaohui Guan, Zhou Lin

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The multicomponent gas replacement operations in the sealed capsule with cavities connected by slit are modeled and simulated based on the analytic estimation and the CFD numerical simulation methods in this paper. Corresponding result comparisons and discussions on the time costs and replacement effects of different replacement operations and parameters are presented. The estimation and numerical simulation results of mixing and compression replacement operations with different gas velocities demonstrate that, for the cavity connected by slit, analytic estimation method underestimates the effects of mixing replacement operation, but overestimates the compression replacement effects. During the mixing replacement operation, higher …


Numerical Simulation Of Thermal Comfort And Pm10 Concentration Distribution In A320 Aircraft Cabin, Jiaquan Lin, Ruiting Wang Jan 2019

Numerical Simulation Of Thermal Comfort And Pm10 Concentration Distribution In A320 Aircraft Cabin, Jiaquan Lin, Ruiting Wang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: A model of A320 aircraft cabin and human body was established using CFD. Temperature field, velocity field and PM10 concentration field was simulated at different air supply rate of the bridge load air conditioning based on mathematical model of fluid dynamics in cabin. The values of the ADPI and drainage efficiency were calculated respectively at different air supply rate. The optimal supply air velocity evaluation function was constructed based on ADPI and drainage efficiency. The wind speed, temperature and PM10 concentration of the sample points were used to calculate the value of the evaluation function with different …
