A [Formula: see text] approximation model of RTE is used to account for radiation heat transfer within the material. First, the RTE model is verified by comparing the numerical results with the analytical solution. Next, the coupling scheme is verified by comparing the temperature histories computed by the pure conduction scheme with the ones computed by conduction coupled with radiative emission. The verification study is conducted using test cases from the literature (radiant heating, arc jet heating, and space shuttle entry) as well as on a 3D Block, a 2D IsoQ sample, and the Stardust Return Capsule. The verification results are satisfactory for all cases. Thus, the verification results indicate that the coupling approach can accurately simulate the thermal response of the material. The coupling scheme was then used to simulate a laser heating experiment that studied the impact of spectral radiative heat transfer on ablative material. The results from the laser ablation simulations exhibit a behavior analogous to the experimental observations, indicating the importance of spectral radiative flux on the material response.","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48025699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, conclusions derived from a deterministic approach may not accurately reflect the actual gas turbine operation. To address this issue, this paper presents an effective uncertainty quantification framework for evaluating the aerothermal performance robustness of the multicavity squealer tip. Moreover, a novel visualization method is developed to analyze the uncertainty flow and thermal fields. The findings suggest that conventional research tends to overestimate the aerodynamic performance of the multicavity squealer tip. The installation of ribs can exacerbate the chaotic tendency of the flowfield, leading to a significant reduction in the aerodynamic performance robustness of the squealer tip during actual operation. However, the heat transfer performance robustness of the multicavity squealer tip is substantially enhanced due to the inability of the flowfield uncertainty to transfer to the thermal field through the ribs. Furthermore, the study reveals high heat flux fluctuations in the region near the ribs root, which highlights the importance of considering thermal fatigue risks in the design of multicavity squealer tips.","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45621638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Absolute intensity spectra were obtained in this wavelength range. They were compared with numerical predictions of the line-by-line spectroscopy code SPECAIR. The overall agreement between the SPECAIR predictions and measurements is good, particularly above 180 nm. Several modifications to the SPECAIR radiation code were carried out in order to improve agreement with experiments. These modifications significantly improved agreement though, at lower wavelengths, the data indicate that a source of emission remains unaccounted for by SPECAIR.

A computationally efficient multistep technique is developed to model the unsteady dynamics of shock reflection in a relaxing and dissociating gas. The developed technique is then benchmarked through comparison with unsteady computational fluid dynamic simulations. Results from the benchmarking effort demonstrate that the adopted multistep modeling procedure accurately captures the dominant gas dynamic effects influencing the state of the test gas at the measurement location. A parametric study is then performed to assess several combinations of possible two-temperature modeling approaches for nonequilibrium oxygen dissociation. The current assessment demonstrates that the widely adopted Park model is inconsistent with the measured data, while the recently developed modified Marrone and Treanor (MMT) model demonstrates promising agreement with the data. The results of the present study clearly indicate that the MMT model is more appropriate for two-temperature modeling of nonequilibrium oxygen dissociation than the legacy Park model. Patterns in the parametric comparison also suggest that the approximate treatment of non-Boltzmann vibrational state distributions within the MMT model may require improvement.","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44890287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, a two-stage gas pump powered by direct-current voltages ranging from 24 to 26 kV with electrodes flush mounted on two neighboring walls is devised. In addition to the volume flow rate produced, the performance of the pump is evaluated using an energy efficiency factor, which is defined as the volume flow rate delivered by a unit power input. It is found that the EHD gas pump with offset electrodes can not only produce more volume flow rate but also has a larger value for energy efficiency, which may be more favorable for the application in thermal management.

The film coefficient heat transfer model examined in this paper estimates the convective heating to the vehicle for a laminar, dissociated, chemically reacting boundary layer for an Earth atmosphere. This model requires information about the vehicle and flowfield for a given trajectory point and estimates a proportional relationship between enthalpy potential and convective heat flux. In practice it is the aerothermal engineer who must decide which assumptions are appropriate for his/her application. This work looks at numerous CFD simulations for an arbitrary, axisymmetric flight vehicle to analyze the relative importance of both the mass and energy constraints imposed at the wall boundary, as well as the effect of various diffusion models. Within the subset of tested energy boundary conditions, it is found that the most desirable energy boundary condition is the radiative equilibrium boundary condition, which permits conservative estimates of convective heat flux, but also generates flowfield-dependent spatial thermal distributions along the surface.

The pump is operated by a combination of three different voltages (24, 26, and 28 kV) for performance improvement. Because flow visualization is very challenging to implement in experimental study of EHD flows, very few results are available in the literature. As such, this study is specifically aimed at providing additional insight to the flowfield inside the channel through visualization of the numerical results obtained.
