Abstract The main work of this paper focuses on the simulation of binary alloy solidification using the phase field model and adaptive octree grids. Ni-Cu binary alloy is used as an example in this paper to do research on the numerical simulation of isothermal solidification of binary alloy. Firstly, the WBM model, numerical issues and adaptive octree grids have been explained. Secondary, the numerical simulation results of three dimensional morphology of the equiaxed grain and concentration variations are given, taking the efficiency advantage of the adaptive octree grids. The microsegregation of binary alloy has been analysed emphatically. Then, numerical simulation results of the influence of thermophysical parameters on the growth of the equiaxed grain are also given. At last, a simulation experiment of large scale and long-time has been carried out. It is found that increases of initial temperature and initial concentration will make grain grow along certain directions and adaptive octree grids can effectively be used in simulations of microstructure.

This paper suggests a large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation method to investigate the fluorine pollution near a slag yard. The large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation method included an experimental investigation, laboratory studies of solute transport during absorption of water by soil, and large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations of solute transport. The experimental results showed that the concentrations of fluorine from smelting slag and construction waste soil were well over the discharge limit of 0.1 kg/m3 recommended by Chinese guidelines. The key parameters of the materials used for large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations were determined based on an experimental investigation, laboratory studies, and soil saturation of survey results and back analyses. A large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation of solute transport was performed, and its results were compared to the experiment results. The simulation results showed that the clay near the slag had a high saturation of approximately 0.9, consistent with the survey results. Comparison of the results showed that the results of the numerical simulation of solute transport and the test results were nearly identical, and that the numerical simulation results could be used as the basis for groundwater environmental evaluation.

This paper presents a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS)-based integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer, which can detect three-dimensional vibration. By integrating three axes, the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer is characterized by small volume and high symmetry. The numerical simulation results inferred that the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer had excellent independence among three axes. Based on the experimental results, the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer had the advantage of small axial crosstalk and could detect vibration in arbitrary directions. Furthermore, compared with the uniaxial electrochemical seismometer, the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer had similar sensitivity curves ranging from 0.01 to 100 Hz. In terms of random ground motion response, high consistencies between the developed integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer and the uniaxial electrochemical seismometer could be easily observed, which indicated that the developed integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer produced comparable noise levels to those of the uniaxial electrochemical seismometer. These results validated the performance of the integrated triaxial electrochemical seismometer, which has a good prospect in the field of deep geophysical exploration and submarine seismic monitoring.

The numerical simulation of the developing turbulent flow through a three-dimensional curved pipe with strong curvature is presented. This numerical simulation is to investigate the flow structure of pipe-flow through a 90° bent pipe with the aid of RNG k-ε turbulence model, which had been well validated for high screwed curvature flow. Dean Motion downstream of the bend are found and presented. And the numerical result demonstrates that Dean motions co-exist with large scale swirling motions inside the bend pipe. Snapshot of velocity and pressure reveals that the structures found upstream of the bend persist after the bend and survive the strong secondary motions induced by the pipe curvature.

During the splicing process of pneumatic splicer, the principle of yarn splicing is closely related to the flow field inside the splicing chamber. This paper presents a numerical simulation of the flow char-acteristics inside the splicing chamber of the pneumatic splicer. A three-dimensional grid and the realizable tur¬bulence model are used in this simulation. The numerical results of veloc¬ity vectors distribution inside the chamber are shown. Streamlines starting from the two air injectors are also acquired. Based on the simulation, the principle of yarn splicing of the pneumatic splicer is discussed. The airflow in the splicing chamber can be divided into three regions. In addition, the simulation results have well sup¬ported the principle of yarn splicing of pneumatic splicer claimed by the splicing chamber makers.

AbstractThe effects of long-range elastic fields on the phase separation process of three- dimensional binary alloy systems was investigated with large-scale Langevin simulations. The elastic effects incorporated in the model are the result of anisotropy and dilational misfits introduced via inhomogeneities in the elastic constants of the constituents. The domain morphology obtained is readily understandable in terms of selection criterion for the shape and/or orientation of the domains, and is based on the different shear moduli that are present in the system. Coarsening mechanisms were found to be a combination of the classical Ostwald ripening mechanism and the elastically-driven coalescence of domains. Other aspects of the coarsening process such as dynamic scaling of the structure function is presented.

In order to figure out seepage field in aquifer under the coal seam, the geology and hydrogeology conditions systematically of study area were analyzed, hydrogeological conceptual model was generalized, mathematical model was built, seepage field of the Taiyuan limestone aquifer was simulated with software Feflow. Simulation results show that hydrogeological parameters of Taiyuan limestone aquifer change greatly in different partitions. The model also indicates the heterogeneity of karst fissure of Taiyuan limestone aquifer. The drainage quantity is from the Ordovician limestone aquifer besides supplying from runoff of upstream and capture excretion of downstream. The research is an attempt to simulate the seepage field in aquifer under coal seam, to some extent, it also provides a technical basis for safe coal mining and as a reference for simulation constructions of three-dimensional groundwater flow models in similar coal mines.

ABSTRACTWe report on large-scale three-dimensional simulations of phase separation in model binary alloy systems in the presence of elastic fields. The elastic field has several important effects on the morphology of the system: the ordered domains are subject to shape transformations, and spatial ordering. In contrast to two-dimensional system, no significant slowing down in the growth is observed. There is also no evidence of any “reverse coarsening” of the domains.

The kinetics and topology of ideal grain growth were simulated using the phase-field model. Large scale phase-field simulations were carried out where ten thousands grains evolved into a few hundreds without allowing coalescence of grains. The implementation was first validated in two-dimensions by checking the conformance with square-root evolution of the average grain size and the von Neumann-Mullins law. Afterwards three-dimensional simulations were performed which also showed fair agreement with the law describing the evolution of the mean grain size against time and with the results of S. Hilgenfeld et al. in 'An Accurate von Neumann's Law for Three-Dimensional Foams', Phys. Rev. Letters, 86(12)/2685, March 2001. Finally the steady state grain size distribution was investigated and compared to the Hillert theory.
