Subsea Pipelines

Herein, hydraulic model experiments and numerical simulations were performed to understand the self-burial mechanism of subsea pipelines with spoilers under steady flow conditions. First, scour characteristics and self-burial functions according to the spoiler length-to-pipe diameter ratio (S/D) were investigated through hydraulic experiments. Further, the Navier–Stokes solver was verified. The experimental values of the velocity at the bottom of the pipeline with a spoiler and the pressure on the sand foundation where the pipeline rested were represented with the degree of conformity. Scour characteristics of a sand foundation were investigated from the numerical analysis results of the velocity and vorticity surrounding the pipelines with spoilers. The compilation of results from the hydraulic experiment and numerical analysis showed that the projected area increased when a spoiler was attached to the subsea pipes. This consequently increased the velocity of fluid leaving the top and bottom of the pipe, and high vorticity was formed within and above the sand foundation. This aggravated scouring at the pipe base and increased the top and bottom asymmetry of the dynamic pressure field, which developed a downward force on the pipeline. These two primary effects acting simultaneously under steady flow conditions explained the self-burial of pipelines with a spoiler attachment.

The performance of a Rotor-Casing Assembly is influenced more by the internal air leakages than by any other thermo-fluid aspect of its behaviour. The pressure difference driving the air along a leakage path varies periodically and does so in a manner that may not be the same for every leakage path. So the distribution of leakage through the various leakage paths within the machine is important for the improvement of its performance. The total volume of air leakage and the distribution of the leakage among the different paths depend on the rotor-rotor and rotor-casing clearances as well as the geometry of the rotors’ lobes. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was carried out using the FLUENT. Geometry definition, mesh generation, boundary and flow conditions, and solver parameters have all been investigated as the part of the numerical analysis. This analysis was conducted for static rotors at different positions. The results indicate that the size of the clearances as well as the geometry of the rotors’ lobes can have a significant effect on the total volume of the air leakage as well as the distribution of the leakage among the three main leakage paths. The results can be used to ascertain the proper levels of clearances to be used and the best rotor lobes geometry to be used for the practical reduction of air leakage.

The solidification microstructure is the consequence of a wide range of process parameters, like the growth velocity, the temperature gradient and the composition. Although the influence of these parameters is nowadays considerably well understood, an overall theory of the influence of convection on microstructural features is still lacking. The application of time dependent magnetic fields during directional solidification offers the possibility to create defined solidification and flow conditions. In this work, we report about solidification experiments in the ARTEMIS and ARTEX facilities including rotating magnetic fields (RMF). The effect of the forced melt flow on microstructural parameters like the primary and secondary dendrite arm spacing is analyzed for a wide range of magnetic field parameters. The experimental analysis is supported by a rigorous application of numerical modeling. An important issue is hereby the prediction of the resulting macrosegregation, i.e., differences in the composition on the scale of the sample (macroscale) due to the RMF. For the considered configuration and parameters an axial enrichment of Si is found beyond a certain magnetic field strength. The results are compared to available theories and their applicability is discussed.

Rubber products like oil seal are produced by vulcanization molding and the vulcanization molding of rubber product is performed by past experience, trial and error. It is important issues to decrease the product cost, reduce defective products and solve the environmental problems by saving natural resources. If the vulcanization moldings of rubber products are reappeared by computer simulation, it is very useful and it could contribute to solve the above problems. In order to reduce surplus rubber and defective products, numerical analysis of flow phenomena of unvulcanized rubber was performed using commercial software FIDAP. In several types of rubber mold model, the numerical analysis was conducted taken the characteristic of visco-elasticity fluid obtained by an experiment without considering the effect of heat. And experiments were conducted for the comparison of numerical results and actual phenomena. In the experiment, vulcanization process was stopped by arbitrary interval. Then the filling state and the shape of the rubber at each interval are observed in numerical and experiment results. The results showed that the filling state of numerical results represented good agreement with the experimental results. And it was clarified from the numerical analysis that shear stress increased when the unvulcanized rubber flowed in a narrow channel and there was the relation between pressure and velocity. In the present paper, the flow phenomena under the condition of the compression molding are shown and the optimum flow conditions are discussed from the numerical results. Furthermore mechanism of occurrence of defective products is considered with the experimental and the numerical results.

Cooling Air

Improvements in efficiency and performance of gas turbines require a better understanding of the internal cooling air system which provides the turbine blades with cooling air. With the increase of cooling air passing through the internal air system, a greater amount of air borne particles is transported to the film cooling holes at the turbine blade surface. In spite of their small size, these holes are critical for blockage. Blockage of only a few holes could have harmful effects on the cooling film surrounding the blade. As a result, a reduced mean time between maintenance or even unexpected operation faults of the gas turbine during operation could occur. Experience showed a complex interaction of cooling air under different flow conditions and its particle load. To get more familiar with all these influences and the system itself, a test rig has been built. With this test rig, the behavior of particles in the internal cooling air system can be studied at realistic flow conditions compared to a modern, heavy duty gas turbine. It is possible to simulate different particle sizes and dust concentrations in the coolant air. The test rig has been designed to give information about the quantity of separated particles at various critical areas of the internal air system [1]. The operation of the test rig as well as analysis of particles in such a complex flow system bear many problems, addressed in previous papers [1,2,3]. New theoretical studies give new and more accurate results, compared to the measurements. Furthermore the inspection of the test rig showed dust deposits at unexpected positions of the flow path, which will be discussed by numerical analysis.
