Results show that at −4 ℃, the blade’s lower surface forms icicles through water runback effects, while saltwater significantly suppresses icicle growth. Decreasing temperatures induce ice-type transitions from glaze to mixed and then rime ice, with the ice profile evolving from irregular to quasi-aerodynamic shapes. Saltwater ice exhibits smoother surfaces than freshwater ice, but differences diminish at −16 ℃. Ice adhesion strength increases with decreasing temperature but shows decelerating growth rates. Freshwater ice demonstrates 2.5–––4.7 times higher adhesion strength than saltwater ice at equivalent temperatures.

This study directly characterizes the heat transport caused by parasitic convection for stratified TES using a combined experimental and numerical approach in a model experiment. Simultaneous 2D two-color planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) and Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) measurements are conducted to characterize the near-wall temperature and velocity fields and thus allow for a direct calculation of the heat transport in real systems. Additionally, a 2D CFD simulation of the TES is set up and the results are validated against the experimental data. The comparison shows similar near-wall temperature and velocity fields, although minor deviations occur due to non-ideal boundary conditions and optical aberrations in the experiments. The concept of the dimensionless heat flux in stratified TES systems based on the simultaneous velocity and temperature data is introduced to characterize the heat transport caused by parasitic convection as the ratio of its advective and diffusive part. The results indicate that the heat transport is advection-dominated, with the near-wall flow velocity being the key influencing parameter, whereas local temperature differences within the thermal boundary layer exhibit negligible impact.

This work provides experimental evidences for these assumptions and describes experiments on capillary effects and thermal dynamics of pure H<sub>2</sub>O with focus on hydrodynamic cavitation. Experiments use two calorimetric systems for diathermic measurements and 0.3 mm/0.5 mm capillary tubes. Samples after excitation are degassed at -0.09MPa and thermally equalized in a water bath. Given the critical role of water–air interfaces in these phenomena, a micromanipulation tool was used to sample from the 0.1 mm subsurface layer, with comparisons made to immersion depths of 2 mm and 10 mm. Conducted attempts demonstrated changes in heat capacity of 4.17%–5.72% within 60 min after excitation, decreasing to 2.08% in steady-state dynamics.

It has been an important issue in both the engineering and academic fields. Fewer studies have focused on the instability mechanism and behavior of combined compressors consisting of both axial and centrifugal-type stages, which have distinct pressurization capability and instability mechanism from each other. This paper concentrates on the influence of the centrifugal stage in a combined compressor on the overall aerodynamic stability. First, an experiment is carried out to investigate its instability characteristics. Then, a multi-actuator dynamic model is established to further analyze the influence of the centrifugal stage on the combined compressor instability from two aspects, the stage matching and the B parameter. To decouple these two factors, B parameters are increased above the critical value, eliminating its effect on the surge boundary only to investigate the influence of stage matching. Results show that when a stage performance curve with pressure ratio against mass flow rate has a negative slope near the matching point, the centrifugal stage has a stabilizing effect on the overall stability. In contrast, this stage has a detrimental influence when matched on the performance curve with a positive slope. For B parameter effects, a large value of B parameter generally narrows the stable operating range. Therefore, the influence of the centrifugal stage is determined by the balance of the above two aspects. Generally, for a combined compressor in a real industrial application, the change of B parameter by the centrifugal stage has more obvious effects on the overall stability than the stage matching because the centrifugal stage generally has a larger pressurization capability, resulting in a larger value of B parameter. Therefore, both stage matching and B parameter effect should be carefully considered for the stability design of a combined compressor consisting of stages with clear pressurization capability differences, compared with the individual axial or centrifugal compressor including the stages with similar pressurization capability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12294,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 111571"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144720891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three different blockage ratios (BR = 2.5 %, 5 %, and 10 %) were tested, with a fixed streamwise aspect ratio (AR = 3) and a Reynolds number of 7500. The results indicate that, for BR = 2.5 %, the separated shear layer from the leading edge of the prism is shed directly into the wake, however, an increase of BR promotes the reattachment on the surface of the prism. The streamwise extent of the primary, secondary and wake recirculation bubbles decrease with an increase in blockage ratio. Distinct regions of positive and negative Reynolds shear stress manifest near the leading edge, with the transitioning interface shifting upstream with increasing BR. Turbulence production concentrates near the shear layer, with peak magnitude increasing and shifting upstream with BR. The growth rate of the shear layer is similar for the reattached test cases but decrease for the unattached test cases. The spatial coherence of the turbulent structures increases downstream, however, the effects of blockage significantly reduced the spatial coherence in the BR10 case. Frequency spectra and spectral decomposition of the Reynolds normal stresses revealed that increasing the blockage ratio increases the dominance of von Kármán vortex shedding. For higher blockage ratios, turbulence is primarily influenced by intermediate-scales associated with vortex shedding, with reduced contributions from low-frequency flapping and small-scale shear-layer instabilities.
