AbstractNumerical simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is one way of predicting airflow characteristics on the model. This method is widely used because it is relatively inexpensive and faster in getting desired results compared with performing direct testing. The correctness of a computational simulation output is highly dependent on the input and how it was processed. In this paper, simulation is done on Onera M6 Wing, to investigate the effect of a turbulence model’s application on the accuracy of the computational result. The choice of Onera M6 Wing as a simulation’s model is due to its extensive database of testing results from various wind tunnels in the world. Among Turbulence models used are Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, and SST.Keywords: CFD, fluent, Model, Turbulence, Onera M6, Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, SST.AbstraksSimulasi numerik dengan menggunakan metode Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) merupakan salah satu cara untuk memprediksi karakteristik suatu aliran udara yang terjadi pada model.

In order to enhance the operational safety of tram vehicle and reduce the wear of guide wheels mounted on the vehicle, it is necessary to remove particles such as dusts and silts from tramway surface. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of street vacuum sweeper for sucking up dusts from tramway surface. A numerical model was developed based on dusts removal process. Under different pressure drops across the pickup head of the street vacuum sweeper, the flow field and dusts removal efficiency were analyzed with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The numerical results show that a higher pressure drop can improve the airflow field in the pickup head and results in higher dusts removal efficiency, but higher pressure drop definitely need more energy. Therefore, a balance should be taken into consideration.

A crack with unusual failure mode after thermal shock test (TST) is observed on the die bulk of certain bare-die FCBGA, in which the crack penetrates longitudinally within silicon die region. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is introduced to investigate this phenomenon. The transient analysis results indicate a significant temperature difference existing between top and bottom surfaces of the silicon die in the very beginning of the liquid-to-liquid temperature transition. This could be fatal to a brittle material like silicon. Some possible solutions are then surveyed to alleviate the thermal impact to the FCBGA. At least one of enhanced proposals is proved effective to eliminate die crack occurrence after TST.

Abstract The results of previous studies have proved that manufacture variations can cause a noticeable influence on compressor aerodynamic performance. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the influence rules and mechanisms of manufacture variations on supersonic/transonic blades aerodynamic performance. The variations used in this study were measured from some newly manufactured high-pressure compressors. In the present study, several blade sections with different design Mach number conditions are selected for further statistical analysis of measured deviation data. Therefore, some systematic errors in the deviation data have been revealed. Based on these data, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method has been used to obtain the aerodynamic performances of a large number of the measured blade elements. And then, the analysis of the influence rules of manufacture variations on blade aerodynamic performance in different Mach number conditions has been carried out. The present results indicate that the effects of manufacture variations on blade aerodynamic performance in the lower Mach number (0.8) condition are much more significant comparing to that in the higher Mach number (0.9∼1.2) conditions. Based on this, influence mechanisms of manufacture variations on positive incidence range and negative incidence range have been analyzed. The differences of influence mechanisms in different Mach number conditions are the focus of research.

In this paper, we outline and validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method for determining the hydrodynamic forces of an escort tug in indirect towing mode. We consider a range of yaw angles from 0° to 90° and a travel speed of 8 knots. We discuss the effects of scaling on prediction of flow separation and hydrodynamic forces acting on the vessel by carrying out CFD studies on both model and full-scale escort tugs performing indirect escort maneuvers. As the escort performance in terms of maximum steering forces is strongly dependent on the onset of flow separation from the hull and skeg of the tug, the model-scale simulations under-predict the maximum steering force by 12% relative to the full-scale simulations. In addition, we provide a method for converting the hydrodynamic forces of the CFD escort study into towline and thrust forces.

Temperature Swing Adsorption

Carbon capture by adsorption is supposed to be an effective method to reduce CO2 emissions, among which Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) can utilize low-grade thermal energy even from renewable energy source. At present, TSA technology still has several challenges to be practical application, such as intensive energy-consumption and low energy-efficiency. Thermodynamics could be a powerful method to explore the energy conversion mechanism of TSA, among which entropy analysis could further provide a clear picture on the irreversible loss, even with a possible strategy of energy-efficient improvement. Based on the theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the entropy analysis of TSA cycle is conducted, using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The physical model and conservation equations are established and calculation methods for entropy generation are presented as well. The entropy generation of each process in cycle is analyzed, and the influence from the main parameters of desorption process is presented with optimization analysis. Finally, the performance of the cycle with regeneration is compared with that of the cycle without regeneration, and the method of reducing the entropy generation is obtained as well. This paper provides possible directions of performance improvement of TSA cycle with regards on energy utilization efficiency and the reduction of irreversible loss.

Investigation on the turbulence model for resistance calculation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) with the typical Myring shape is presented in this paper using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Resistance calculations of the 3D viscous flow over an AUV model are made by solving RANS equations with different viscous models. Comparison with experiments indicates that the SST k-ω two-equation viscous model is the most appropriate model for the resistance prediction.

ABSTRACTAs propeller-driven aircraft are the best choice for short/middle-haul flights but their acoustic emissions may require improvements to comply with future noise certification standards, this work aims to numerically evaluate the acoustics of different modern propeller designs. Overall sound pressure level and noise spectra of various blade geometries and hub configurations are compared on a surface representing the exterior fuselage of a typical large turboprop aircraft. Interior cabin noise is also evaluated using the transfer function of a Fokker 50 aircraft. A blade design operating at lower RPM and with the span-wise loading moved inboard is shown to be significantly quieter without severe performance penalties. The employed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is able to reproduce the tonal content of all blades and its dependence on hub and blade design features.
