Classification Efficiency

The numerical simulation in the classification has been used in ANSYS CFX 10.0. We described the different flow fields within the classification in accordance with the one-phase simulation experiment, which provided a new theoretical perspective for optimized design on classification. At the same time, the classification efficiency was predicted by simulation for two phase particle trajectory. This will lay a foundation for improving classification efficiency.

The high-speed partial emission pump is a small flow and high-head pump, which has been widely used. To study the main factors affecting the performance of high-speed partial emission pumps, numerical simulation methods were used to calculate the performance parameters of high-speed partial emission pumps with and without inducers, and the external characteristic parameters were verified through comparison test values. The results show that the head of the high-speed partial emission pump with inducer is nearly 15 m higher than that of the high-speed partial emission pump without inducer. Considering the influence of air in the high-speed partial emission pump on the working performance, the two-phase flow with different flow rates, different particle sizes, and different concentrations was calculated, and the different liquid phase distributions, liquid phase velocity vector diagrams, and external characteristic curve were compared. The results show that under the same flow condition, the gas-phase particle diameter has the most severe influence on the external characteristic.

Metal particles in solid propellants enhance rocket engines performance. An interaction of particles with a high Reynolds number turbulent gas flow accelerating to a nozzle, has not been characterized thoroughly. We study the particle-turbulence interactions in a two-dimensional model of a rocket engine. Two-phase particle image/tracking velocimetry provides the flow velocity simultaneously with the velocities of irregularly shaped inertial particles ($d_p \sim 350 \mu$m, Stokes $St \sim 70$, particle Reynolds number $Re_p \sim 300$). We reveal the local augmentation of turbulent fluctuations in the particle wakes (up to 5 particle diameters downstream the particle). Despite the low mass fraction, the large response time of the particles leads to an increase of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) everywhere in the chamber. The increase of local particle mass fraction near the nozzle, due to the mass conservation and converging streamlines, compensates for the dampening effect of the strong mean flow acceleration and further augments TKE at the nozzle inlet. Furthermore, this is accompanied by unexpectedly isotropic fluctuations in the proximity of the nozzle. The phenomenon of the isotropic, strongly enhanced turbulence in the proximity of the engine nozzle achievable with the low mass fraction of high $St,Re_p$ particles, can be used to improve the design of solid propellant rocket engines.
