This book provides students and researchers in fluid engineering with an up-to-date overview of turbulent flow research in the areas of simulation and modeling. A key element of the book is the systematic, rational development of turbulence closure models and related aspects of modern turbulent flow theory and prediction. Starting with a review of the spectral dynamics of homogenous and inhomogeneous turbulent flows, succeeding chapters deal with numerical simulation techniques, renormalization group methods and turbulent closure modeling. Each chapter is authored by recognized leaders in their respective fields, and each provides a thorough and cohesive treatment of the subject.

This paper presents a comparison of self-rectifying turbines for the Oscillating Water Column (OWC) based Wave Energy power extracting device using numerical simulation. The two most commonly used turbines for OWC based devices, the Impulse and the Wells turbines were evaluated under real sea simulated conditions. Assuming the quasi-steady condition, experimental data for both 0.6m turbines with 0.6 hub to tip ratio was used to predict their behavior under real sea conditions. The real sea water surface elevation time history data was used to simulate the flow conditions using standard numerical simulation techniques. A simple geometry of the OWC was considered for the simulation. The results show that the overall mean performance of an Impulse turbine is better than the Wells turbine under unsteady, irregular real sea conditions. The Impulse turbine was observed to be more stable over a wide range of flow conditions. This paper reports the comparison of performance characteristics of both these turbines under simulated real sea conditions.

Rotary Wing

In recent years, various strategies for the concurrent operation of fixed-and rotary-wing aircraft have been proposed as a means of increasing airport capacity. Some of these strategies will increase the likelihood of encounters with the wakes of aircraft operating nearby. Several studies now exist where numerical simulations have been used to assess the impact of encounters with the wakes of large transport aircraft on the safety of helicopter operations under such conditions. This paper contrasts the predictions of several commonly-used numerical simulation techniques when each is used to model the dynamics of a helicopter rotor during the same idealised wake encounter. In most previous studies the mutually-induced distortion of the wakes of the rotor and the interacting aircraft has been neglected, yielding the so-called ‘frozen vortex’ assumption. This assumption is shown to be valid only when the helicopter encounters the aircraft wake at high forward speed. At the low forward speeds most relevant to near-airfield operations, however, injudicious use of the frozen vortex assumption may lead to significant errors in predicting the severity of a helicopter’s response to a wake encounter.

In order to utilize a numerical simulation on a product development for electronic equipment, not only the simulation techniques themselves, but the application technologies of the simulation in the product design, were examined. The design process of electronic equipment was categorized into four stages, which were a concept, a function, a layout and a parameter design. Each design stage consists of a specifying that a human decide the specification for the next stage and a verification whether the specification satisfy the previous stage requirements. The specifying and the verification are conducted over and over again. Numerical simulation is corresponded to the verification and is used to accelerate this iteration instead of experiments. The examples of numerical simulation corresponding to these four verifications were shown in the present paper. There are few examples in last two type of simulation. The progress of the numerical technology for function and concept verification is expected. The product development process requires not only numerical simulation based on physics but also statistical approach.

Simulation Results

To understand the thermal distribution in a complex structure and high quality linkage casting, a mathematical model of temperature and stress field was established. Numerical simulation techniques was applied by using Procast software in the temperature and stress fields of solidification process, and the foundry defect such as old lap, misrun, shrinkage and dispersed shrinkage was predicted. The stress distribution and deformation in cooling process of casting were analyzed. The simulation results can supply a scientific foundation for foundry technology.
