In order to efficiently supercharge Diesel engines with pressure wave superchargers it is necessary to correlate the superchargers rotation speed with certain parameters of the supercharged engine. For this purpose, to reduce the research costs and duration, simulation models can be used which help to determine the parameters which have a major impact on the supercharger's rotational speed and efficiency. In this paper there are presented two simulation models: a one-dimensional (made in AMESim software) and a three dimensional (made in Fluent Software). This simulation models offer the possibility to visualize some dynamic phenomenon within the supercharger, like the evolution of the pressure waves or the turbulent flow inside the rotor channels. These phenomena are difficult and expensive to study with conventional methods.

To investigate the thermal behavior during fast hydrogen filling process, the simple one-dimensional analysis considering the heat conduction in tank wall and the three-dimensional numerical simulation dealing with inner gas region were carried out. The numerical analyses were subject to the fast filling test of 35 MPa hydrogen gas into 34 litter tank for 80 seconds. The one-dimensional analysis predicted the temperature rise and the heat loss into surrounding air qualitatively and the averaged temperature of tank wall was underestimated. On the other hand, the three-dimensional simulation overestimated the temperature distribution because of using adiabatic wall condition. However, the effects of buoyant force and convective flow on local thermal profile were fully explained from our numerical results.

AbstractThe comparison of one- and three-dimensional cure simulation of thick thermoset matrix laminates was conducted in this study. The applicable conditions of one-dimensional cure simulation were investigated. The transient heat conduction equation coupled to the cure kinetics was solved numerically using one- and three-dimensional finite element analysis. The evolution of temperature and degree of cure of the laminates during the curing process obtained by the simulation agreed well with the published experimental results. The results indicate that a wider one-dimensional analysis applicable region around the center point will be obtained in the laminate with a higher span-to-thickness ratio and in a less anisotropic material system. In the applicable region, the accuracy of the one-dimensional cure simulation can satisfy the engineering request and save the computational cost. While beyond the region, there is a steep increase in deviation of the one- and three-dimensional simulation results.

A numerical simulation project, described in this paper, was assigned in an undergraduate heat transfer course in the mechanical engineering curriculum. This project complemented the heat transfer lecture course and its corresponding heat transfer lab. It was used to help students visualize and better understand the difference between conduction heat transfer which occurs within a three-dimensional solid body and the convection and/or radiation which occur at the surface of the solid body. It also allowed the students to generate and compare results of one dimensional heat transfer calculations to three dimensional simulation results. The project contained well defined deliverables and an open-ended deliverable which allowed students to be creative. It gave the students reason to discuss the course outside the classroom. It allowed students to use SolidWorks heat transfer simulation and manage a MATLAB script without taking classroom time. It was appreciated and enjoyed by the students.

Various methods have been proposed to condition an electron beam in order to reduce its emittance effect and to improve the short-wavelength free electron laser (FEL) performance. In this paper, we show that beam conditioning does not result in a complete elimination of the emittance effect in an alternating-gradient focusing FEL undulator. Using a one-dimensional model and a three-dimensional simulation code, we derive a criteria for the emittance limitation of a perfectly conditioned beam that depends on the focusing structure.

The necessity for the use of one-dimensional simulation is growing because cost and time required for hardware optimization and optimal calibration of engines based on experiment are increasing dramatically as engines are equipped with growing numbers of technologies. For one-dimensional simulation results to be more reliable, the accuracy and applicability of the combustion model of a one-dimensional simulation tool must be guaranteed. Because the combustion process in a spark ignition engine is driven by the turbulence, many of existing models focus on the prediction of mean turbulence intensity. Although many successes in the previous models can be found, the previous models contain a large number of adjustable constants or require information supplemented from three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulation results. For improved applicability of a model, the number of adjustable constants and inputs to the model must be kept as small as possible. Thus, in this study, a new zero-dimensional (0D) turbulence model was proposed that requires information on the basic characteristics of the engine geometry and has only one adjustable constant. The model was developed based on the energy cascade model with additional consideration of following aspects: loss of kinetic energy during the intake stroke, the effect of piston motion during the compression and the expansion stroke, modifications to correlations for integral length scale, geometric length scale, and production rate of turbulent kinetic energy. An adjustable constant to consider engine design which determines tumble strength was also introduced. The comparison of the simulation results with those of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics confirmed that the developed model can predict the mean turbulence intensity without case-dependent adjustment of the model constant.

Aimed at limitations of traditional entitative marine hydraulic training systems such as encapsulation, concealment and high cost, three-dimensional simulation training system based on visual reality technology is proposed and implemented. Computer modeling software and Unity3d platform are used to create 3D visual scenes which include the wharf, ship, cranes, hydraulic pumps and motors, hydraulic piping and valves, etc. Simulation models can be driven by visual handle and pushbutton, internal movement of equipment can be observed through the translucent casing during roam. The results show that simulation effect is vivid and intuitive, the purpose of simulation training can be achieved, and it is beneficial to improve the teaching quality.
