Vertical Slot Fishway

Fishways have a great ecological importance as they help mitigate the interruptions of fish migration routes. In the present work, the novel DualSPHysics v4.4 solver, based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH), has been applied to perform three-dimensional (3-D) simulations of water flow in a vertical slot fishway (VSF). The model has been successfully calibrated against published field data of flow velocities that were measured with acoustic Doppler velocity probes. A state-of-the-art algorithm for the treatment of open boundary conditions using buffer layers has been applied to accurately reproduce discharges, water elevations, and average velocity profiles (longitudinal and transverse velocities) within the observed pool of the VSF. Results herein indicate that DualSPHysics can be an accurate tool for modeling turbulent subcritical free surface flows similar to those that occur in VSF. A novel relation between the number of fluid particles and the artificial viscosity coefficient has been formulated with a simple logarithmic fit.

And Performance

In order to study the influence of rainstorm on parachute dropping, the smoothed particle hydrodynamics/arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian coupling method is proposed. Finite elements are used to describe the continuous material such as fabric and air flow field, and the smoothed particle hydrodynamics particles are used to describe the discrete raindrops. The coupling between different fluid and structure is realized by penalty function. In order to distinguish the most influential factor of rainstorm environment on parachute, the effects of raindrop field and wind field in rainstorm are studied, respectively. It could be found that the raindrop fields with different droplet sizes have little effect on the parachute’s shape, opening shock, and performance according to the comparative analysis, while the vertical wind field has a great influence on parachute’s deceleration performance. The wind field, not the raindrop field, is the most important factor affecting the parachute’s deceleration performance. The method and conclusions in this article could provide some references for parachute design.

Anchor Bolts

The strength of an anchor bolt in concrete structure under pull-out load is usually designed by three possible failure modes such as fracture of anchor bolt, cone failure of concrete and bond failure between anchor bolt and concrete. In general, the design load is considered the smallest load corresponding to the aforementioned failure mechanisms. However, unexpected failure often occurs in the anchorage zone due to the complex failure or the change of failure condition. Therefore, it is important to develop the accurate analysis method of ultimate load bearing capacity of the anchor bolt. In this study, we conducted an analytical study using Adaptive Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ASPH) in order to simulate the failure process of anchorage zone and discussed the effect of embedment depth of anchor bolts on their ultimate strength.
