The blockage ratio β that represents the ratio between the width of external magnet M y and the spanwise width L y is employed to depict the effect. The finite volume method （FVM） based on the PISO algorithm is applied for the blockage ratios of 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4. The results show that the value of Strouhal number St increases as the blockage ratio β increases, and for small β , the variation of St is very small when the interaction parameter and Reynolds number are increasing. Moreover, the cross-stream mixing induced by the magnetic obstacle can enhance the wall-heat transfer and the maximum value of the overall heat transfer increment is about 50.5%.展开更多

This paper uses numerical simulations to study the effects of different factors on the aerodynamic drag of a train running at subsonic speed in an evacuated tube. Firstly, we present the assumption of a steady state, two dimensional, incompressible viscous flow with lubricity wall conditions. Subsequently, based on the Navier-Stokes equation and the k-c turbulent models, we calculate the aerodynamic drag imposed on the column train with a 3-meter diameter running under different pressure and blockage ratio conditions in an evacuated tube transporta- tion （ETT） system. The simulation is performed with FLUENT 6.3 software package. An analyses of the simulation re- sults suggest that the blockage ratio for ETT should be in the range of 0.25-0.7, and the tube internal diameter in the range of 2-4 m, with the feasible vacuum pressure in the range of 1-10 000 Pa for the future subsonic ETT trains.展开更多

The acceleration mechanism of flame propagation is mainly due to the positive feedback of the turbulence region induced by obstacles for combustion process. It can be seen from the experimental results that the maximum explosion pressure can increase by 20%, the maximum rate of pressure rise can increase by 10 times and the flame propagation velocity can increase by 20 times when obstacles are present.展开更多

The pressure flow fields of the evacuated tube maglev train under different vacuum pressures were analyzed, and then compared under the same blockage ratio condition. The results show that the environmental pressure of 1 000 Pa in the tube is the best to achieve the effect of aerodynamic drag reduction, and there are no obvious differences in the aerodynamic drag reduction among different streamline head shapes. Overall, the blunt-shape tail and the blockage ratio of 0.25 are more efficient for drag reduction of the train at the tube pressure of 1 000 Pa.展开更多

文摘Flows past two tandem cylinders of different diameters placed centrally in a channel with fixed centre-to-centre spacing 6D and diameter ratio are simulated based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method（LBM）.In all the simulations,the diameter of the smaller cylinder is chosen as the characteristic length.The Reynolds number based on the average inflow velocity is 20-120 and studies are over the range of blockage ratio 2-8.In both Small-Big Arrangement（SBA）and Big-Small Arrangement（BSA）,the effects of the channel width and Reynolds number on the flow structures and force coefficients are studied.Results show that the flows in BSA are more regular than those in SBA for the same flow fields.In BSA with and,the force coefficients all fluctuate with constant amplitudes and a coupled frequency,the coupled frequency becomes small as the blockage ratio decreases and by an exact test we give out the relation of the blockage ratio and Strouhal number.As the blockage ratio decreases to 2,there exist pitchfork bifurcations in both SBA and BSA,and results show that the critical Reynolds numbers of pitchfork bifurcations for SBA and BSA are both between 60 and 80.In SBA with,the flow structure has a static asymmetric mode.It is found that the channel width has also an effect on the critical spacing where the flow changes from single body mode into co-shedding mode.By an accurate survey on flows past two cylinders with equal diameters placed inside a channel with the width,the relation between channel width and the critical spacing is given and results show that the critical spacing increases as the channel width increases.
文摘The paper aimed to study the flow structure at the wake of the bluff body with altered blockage ratio(BR)keeping the fixed aspect ratio(AR).The study was conducted by a finite volume technique using commercial software Ansys-Fluent.The CFD analysis of the bluff body is mainly subjected to the lower subcritical Reynolds number range(5000 to 15,000)along with blockage ratio as an important factor.The flow parameters such as drag coefficient,pressure,and kinetic energy variations are analyzed here for the Reynolds number(Re)and BR.It was observed that at fixed Re,t he drag coefficient(C_(D))increases with an increase in the BR while decrease with increasing Re for a fixed value of BR.

文摘In this paper,the combustion characteristics of kerosene-fueled supersonic combustor under the conditions of Mach number 2.0,the total temperature at 700 K and the total pressure at 520 k Pa(simulated flight Mach number at 3.5)were studied by using the flame stabilizing method of cavity and strut from three aspects such as blockage ratios,kerosene equivalence ratios,location and quantity of injection holes.The results showed that:(A)The combustor with the strut realized the independent and stable combustion of kerosene.The combustion-induced back pressure in the block test with blockage ratio of 20%and 10%destroyed the inlet flow conditions;while the blockage ratio was 7.3%and 5%,the incoming flow conditions when kerosene was burned stably were not destroyed.(B)The kerosene Equivalence Ratio(ER)was more likely to be disturbed upstream than the induced back pressure when it rose,and an excessively high-ER would reduce the combustion efficiency;when the equivalence ratio was constant,the combustion efficiency of the blockage ratio of 7.3%was higher than the blockage ratio of 5%.The combustion efficiencies were 0.86(ER=0.13)and 0.78(ER=0.19)when the blockage ratio was 5%,respectively;the combustion efficiencies were 0.89(ER=0.16)and 0.82(ER=0.19)when the blockage ratio was 7.3%,respectively;the combustion efficiencies were 0.51(ER=0.25),0.81(ER=0.3),0.65(ER=0.34)and0.62(ER=0.42)when the blockage ratio was 20%,respectively.(C)The porous injection provided behind the strut was beneficial to the atomization of kerosene and improved the combustion efficiency of kerosene;the second injection after the cavity would reduce the combustion efficiency due to insufficient oxygen and combustion space.This study expanded the working range of ramjet and provided a reference fuel injection scheme for Turbine-Based Combined Cycle(TBCC)engine.
