With the rapid growth of agricultural trade volumes, the transportation of agricultural products has received widespread attention from society. Aiming at these problems of low transport efficiency and high transport cost in long-distance transport of agricultural products, an energy-saving and environmental-friendly transport mode of agricultural machinery—hydraulic capsule pipelines (HCPs)—was proposed. HCPs effectively solve issues like traffic congestion, energy crises, and atmospheric pollution. Published literature is mainly limited to the capsule speed and the pressure drop characteristics of the fluid within the pipelines. This research was conducted on the following four aspects of HCPs. Firstly, the structure of the carrier was improved and called a ‘piped carriage’. Secondly, a coupled solution between the structural domain of the piped carriage and the fluid domain within the pipelines was numerically investigated by using the commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent 12.0 based on the bidirectional fluid–structure interaction methods. Thirdly, the effects of guide vane placement angle on hydraulic characteristics of the internal flow field within the horizontal pipelines transporting the piped carriage were extensively evaluated. Finally, based on least-cost principle, an optimization model of HCPs was established. The results indicated that the simulated results were in good agreement with the experimental results, which further demonstrated that it was feasible to adopt the bidirectional fluid–structure interaction methods for solving the hydraulic characteristics of the internal flow field when the piped carriage was moving along the pipelines. This article will provide an abundant theoretical foundation for the rational design of HCPs and its popularization and application.

Based on the design theory of liquid-solid two-phase flow centrifugal pump, a new type TLB600-700 desulphurization pump was designed with huge distortions blades design method and impeller inlet super long extension blades design method. Three-dimensional model of internal flow field in TLB600-700 desulphurization pump was built by software PROE5.0, and the three-dimensional unsteady numerical simulation of the internal flow field was calculated, which revealed that the rotor-stator interaction between rotating impeller and volute is the reason why unstable flow generated. Statics analysis was carried out on the impeller in the stationary flow state with the method of fluid-structure interaction, and results indicated that the impeller strength and stiffness meet the design requirements. External characteristic test results of TLB600-700 desulphurization pump showed that all parameters of desulphurization pump designed by innovative method meet design requirements; especially the pump efficiency was increased by 4.15% higher than Chinese national standard.

The coupled influence between structure and internal flow field will make the pressure oscillation during working process of the solid rocket motor. This coupled effect will bring the dynamic press on the payload and extremely destroyed the payload. For researching the influence of internal flow field by the deformation of inhibitor, the parallel fluid structure interaction method with the large eddy simulation model was used to analyze the solid rocket motor with segments. The results show that the deformation of inhibitor will influence the internal flow field parameter’s distribution and enhance the pressure frequency and amplitude remarkably. The partitioned method could solution the fluid structure interaction problems in the segmented solid rocket motor properly.

During the operation of the hydrocyclone, vibrations are often generated by internal fluids and external disturbances resulting in fluid-structure interaction, causing the spatiotemporal evolution of the flow field and the movement of the structure. In this paper, the flow characteristic and the structural motion of the periodic vibrating hydrocyclones are studied. The bidirectional fluid-solid model of hydrocyclone under vibration condition is established. The flow field and structure motion under different vibration frequencies and structure resonances are studied. It shows that the velocities in the three directions oscillate positively and negatively with the motion of structure, the amplitude of the oscillation is the largest on resonance, the skewing of the velocity in the flow field is smaller than the structure; the tangential velocity is asymmetric and the radial velocity is increased significantly, the deformation of the structure is different on the different vibration frequencies, which causes the flow field of distribution of each section to be different. This study will provide the theoretical guidance for the application of hydrocyclone under the vibration conditions.

Abstract According to multi-node model, the dynamics equations of conical parachute system for simulating shape deformation process of the flexible canopy in the opening process were established. With the combination of dynamics equations code and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, the fluid-structure interaction investigation of the conical parachute was carried out. Also the change of parachute shape and flow field, inflation time, the rate of descent, the distance of descent, and other relevant data were achieved. This paper has focused on analysing vortex structure of the flow field in the opening process of conical parachute, and laid the foundation for studying mechanics mechanism of flow field variation of conical parachute in future.

Abstract This paper presents the results of a coupled two-way fluid-structure interaction analysis of a slender flexible vertical cantilevered pipe hanging concentrically within a shorter rigid tube forming an annulus. The pipe is subjected to internal and annular flows simultaneously. This system has applications in brine production and salt-cavern hydrocarbon storage. In the present study, the fluid-structure problem is solved with a finite-volume-based CFD code for the fluid domain coupled to a finite-element-based CSM code for the structural domain. The numerical results obtained for the free-end displacement of the central pipe versus the annular/internal flow velocity ratio U_o/U_i are presented and compared with those obtained from experiment. The capability of the numerical model to predict the onset of the experimentally observed flutter instability in the system is also examined. This provides a better insight into the dynamics of the system.

Bionic Coupling

Some living creatures have special structures on their body surfaces, such as smooth and elastic epidermis with subcutaneous tissue having non-smooth structures under certain conditions. The elastic epidermis coupled with non-smooth structures has a special function called bio-coupling functional surface. Imitating this functional surface and applying it in engineering has a potential to solve some engineering problems. Based on the simulation method of fluid-structure interaction (FSI), simulation calculation of the bionic functional surface coupled by the two factors, form and flexible materials was conduct using ADINA software. A viscous and weakly compressible transient flow was selected as a working medium, a discrete solver was selected in numerical calculation and the basic model was chosen as a turbulence model. It is assumed that the coupling surface of the form/flexible materials results is large deformation and large strain. The boundary condition of fluid-structure interaction was set as the calculation surface. The simulation results showed that this coupling is a dynamic process, in which the two factors (form and flexible materials) are influenced by the flow field. As the pressure and velocity of the flow field increase, the coupling process changes from partial coupling to complete coupling, the pressure drag decreased due to the maximum effective stress of bionic coupling surface is very small and the smooth and flexible materials can redistribute pressure by absorbing and releasing energy, the pressure drag thus formed is decreased. Moreover, non-smooth structures (form factor) coupled with flexible materials reduced velocity of working face and minimise energy losses effectively, enabling the bionic coupling surface to reduce drag.
