Gas–cyclone body coupling vibration is one kind of vibration caused by air pulsation. This coupling vibration causes widespread damage and deformation of three-stage cyclone separator used in residue fluid catalytic cracking. After theoretically analyzing the mechanism of the generation of the gas–cyclone body coupling vibration, the numerical simulation of three-dimensional swirling flow the cyclone separator was performed by using Reynolds stress model (RSM). The results showed the existence of precessing vortex core (PVC) in the cyclone separator. The PVC phenomenon and motion of PVC were described in detail. Furthermore, the amplitude and frequency of gas fluctuation in the PVC region at different axial positions were quantitatively analyzed. The simulation results agreed with the experimental results of laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV). Finally, characteristics of PVC in cyclone separator with a novel vortex finder were designed, and the results showed that the novel vortex finder can reduce flow vibration.

Gas-structure coupling vibration is one kind of vibration caused by air pulsation. This coupling vibration causes widespread damage and deformation of three-stage cyclone separator used in Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC). After theoretically analyzing the mechanism of the generation of the gas-structure coupling vibration, the numerical simulation of three-dimensional swirling flow the cyclone separator was performed by using Reynolds Stress Model (RSM). The results showed the existence of processing vortex core (PVC) in the cyclone separator. The PVC phenomenon and motion of PVC were described in detail. Furthermore, the amplitude and frequency of gas fluctuation in the PVC region at different axial positions were quantitatively analyzed. The simulation results agreed with the experimental results of Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV). Finally, considering the characteristics of transient torsional pendulum of PVC in cyclone separator, the fluid-solid coupling dynamic characteristics of three-stage cyclone separator were analyzed by the finite element method, which provides references for the structure optimization design of new type cyclone separator.

This paper aims to analyse the problem of numerical modelling of the airflow in a conical reverse‐flow (CRF) cyclone with tangential inlet (equipment for separation of solid particles from gaseous fluid flow). A review of experimental and theoretical papers that describe cyclones with very complex swirling flow is performed. Three‐dimensional transport differential equations for incompressible turbulent flow inside a cyclone are solved numerically using finite volume‐based turbulence models, namely, the Standard k–ϵ model, the RNG k–ϵ model and the Reynolds stress model (RSM). The paper describes the numerical modelling of the airflow in the CRF cyclone, the height of which is 0.75 m, diameter ‐ 0.17 m, height of cylindrical part ‐ 0.255 m, height of conical part ‐ 0.425 m, inlet area is 0.085×0.032 m2. Mathematical model of airflow in a cyclone consisted of Navier‐Stokes (Reynolds) three‐dimensional differential equation system. Modelling results, obtained from the numerical tests when inlet velocity is 4.64, 9.0 and 14.8 m/s and flow rate is, respectively, 0.0112, 0.0245 and 0.0408 (0.0388) m3/s, have demonstrated a reasonable agreement with other authors’ experimental and theoretical results. The average relative error was ± 7.5%.

This paper presents a numerical study of gas flow in a square cyclone separator with a double inlet. The turbulence of gas flow is computed by the use of the Reynolds stress model. The distribution of the flow field and pressure drop under different constructional details, which include changes of the shape, size and arrangement of the vortex finder are obtained. The computed results in the distributions of pressure in different sections are verified by comparison with those measured. We found that the center of the flow field is nearly on the geometric center of the cyclone. The flow fields show a feature of Rankine eddy, i.e., a strongly swirling region in the central part and a pseudo-free eddy region of weak swirling intensity near the cyclone wall. Local vortex exists at the corners where the flow changes their direction sharply, but it is less chaotic than in the general square cyclone with a single inlet. The flow field away from the outlet of the vortex finder is different from the Rankine eddy. The pressure-drop increases rapidly with the increase of the inlet velocity, and the pressure-drop increases with the decrease of the diameter of vortex finder and the increase of length of the vortex finder. The calculat ed results of this paper provide some guidance for the optimization of the square cyclone separator structure.

Abstract We find a one-dimensional protected subsector of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 matter theories on a general class of three-dimensional manifolds. By means of equivariant localization we identify a dual quantum mechanics computing BPS correlators of the original model in three dimensions. Specifically, applying the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne formula to the original action demonstrates that this localizes on a one-dimensional action with support on the fixed-point submanifold of suitable isometries. We first show that our approach reproduces previous results obtained on S3. Then, we apply it to the novel case of S2× S1 and show that the theory localizes on two noninteracting quantum mechanics with disjoint support. We prove that the BPS operators of such models are naturally associated with a noncom- mutative star product, while their correlation functions are essentially topological. Finally, we couple the three-dimensional theory to general $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) surface defects and extend the localization computation to capture the full partition function and BPS correlators of the mixed-dimensional system.

The current study focuses on designing the optimal three-dimensional printed sandwich structures. The main goal is to improve the energy absorption capacity of the out-of-plane honeycomb sandwich beam. The novel Beta VI and Alpha VI were designed in order to achieve this aim. In the Beta VI, the connecting curves (splines) were used instead of the four diagonal walls, while the two vertical walls remained unchanged. The Alpha VI is a step forward on the Beta VI, which was promoted by filleting all angles among the vertical walls, created arcs, and face sheets. The two offered sandwich structures have not hitherto been provided in the literature. All models were designed and simulated by the CATIA and ABAQUS, respectively. The three-dimensional printer fabricated the samples by fused deposition modeling technique. The material properties were determined under tensile, compression, and three-point bending tests. The results are carried out by two methods based on experimental tests and finite element analyses that confirmed each other. The achievements provide novel insights into the determination of the adequate number of unit cells and demonstrate the energy absorption capacity of the Beta VI and Alpha VI are 23.7% and 53.9%, respectively, higher than the out-of-plane honeycomb sandwich structures.

The relevance of multidimensional and porous crystalline materials to nuclear waste remediation and storage applications has motivated exploratory research focused on materials discovery of compounds, such as actinide mixed-oxoanion phases, which exhibit rich structural chemistry. The novel phase K1.8Na1.2[(UO2)BSi4O12] has been synthesized using hydrothermal methods, representing the first example of a uranyl borosilicate. The three-dimensional structure crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmce with lattice parameters a = 15.5471(19) Å, b = 14.3403(17) Å, c = 11.7315(15) Å, and V = 2615.5(6) Å3, and is composed of UO6 octahedra linked by [BSi4O12]5− chains to form a [(UO2)BSi4O12]3− framework. The synthesis method, structure, results of Raman, IR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and thermal stability are discussed.

AbstractThe computed tomography (CT) scan of a 19-year-old man who died from an occipito-frontal gunshot wound presented an impressive radiating fracture line where the entire sagittal suture burst due to the high intracranial pressure that arose from a near-contact shot from a 9 mm bullet fired from a Glock 17 pistol. Photorealistic depictions of the radiating fracture lines along the cranial bones were created using three-dimensional reconstruction methods, such as the novel cinematic rendering technique that simulates the propagation and interaction of light when it passes through volumetric data. Since the brain had collapsed, depiction of soft tissue was insufficient on CT images. An additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination was performed, which enabled the diagnostic assessment of cerebral injuries.

The occasional malignant transformation of intracranial epidermoid cysts into squamous cell carcinomas remains poorly understood; the development of an in vitro cyst model is urgently needed. For this purpose, we designed a hollow nanofiber sphere, the “nanofiber-mâché ball.” This hollow structure was fabricated by electrospinning nanofiber onto alginate hydrogel beads followed by dissolving the beads. A ball with approximately 230 mm3 inner volume provided a fibrous geometry mimicking the topography of the extracellular matrix. Two ducts located on opposite sides provided a route to exchange nutrients and waste. This resulted in a concentration gradient that induced oriented migration, in which seeded cells adhered randomly to the inner surface, formed a highly oriented structure, and then secreted a dense web of collagen fibrils. Circumferentially aligned fibers on the internal interface between the duct and hollow ball inhibited cells from migrating out of the interior, similar to a fish bottle trap. This structure helped to form an adepithelial layer on the inner surface. The novel nanofiber-mâché technique, using a millimeter-sized hollow fibrous scaffold, is excellently suited to investigating cyst physiology.
