The movement of aerodynamic control surfaces (flaps, slats, elevators, ailerons, spoilers, wing attachments) determines the mobility of practically all aircraft types. Recognized as dependable components in the aviation world for take-off and landing tasks, these control surfaces are being replaced by fluidic thrust vectoring (FTV) systems, especially in small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and short or vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The FTV system is capable of directing thrust in any preferred direction without the need for any movable components. This paper numerically examines the FTV system by utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and an optimization technique based on gradients of the system components to understand the physics of the Coanda effect in FTV systems. This research employs gradient-based optimization for nozzle design in order to optimize the parameter space for different velocity ratios (VR) by calculating the moment around the upper Coanda surface, which is used to represent the jet deflection angle. In that context, four different Coanda surface-pintle pair designs for four different VRs are produced. The parameter space shows significant improvement in all four configurations, and results reveal that all output parameters successfully delay separation on the thrust vectoring system's upper Coanda surface. Finally, four optimum design suggestions are tested at various VRs, and the most efficient and proper design is recommended based on output parameters.","PeriodicalId":49041,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44239911","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}

In the current study, based on 112 groups of experimental data, ANN and SVM models were established and compared to improve the trade-off relationship between SOOT and NOx emissions of a Common Rail Diesel Injection (CRDI) engine fueled with Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) diesel under different operating conditions and injection parameters. The model parameters for the different predictive targets were selected by evaluating the mean square error (MSE) and determination coefficient. Compared to the number of network iterations, the number of implied nodes had a greater effect on the MSE of the ANN model. Compared to the penalty parameter, the width coefficient had a weaker impact on the SVM performance. A comparative analysis showed that the SVM had better predictive accuracy and generalization ability than the ANN, with a maximum error not exceeding five percent and a determination coefficient of over 0.9. Subsequently, the optimal SVM model was combined with the NSGA-II algorithm to determine the optimal injection parameters for the CRDI engine, resulting in solutions to simultaneously decrease the SOOT and NOx emissions. The optimized injection parameters resulted in a 3.7–7.1% reduction in SOOT emission and a 1.2–2.6% reduction in NOx emissions compared to the original engine operating conditions. Based on limited experimental samples, SVM is inferred to be a useful tool for predicting the exhaust emissions of engines fueled with F-T diesel and can provide support for optimizing injection parameters.","PeriodicalId":49041,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41838255","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}

Asvapoositkul","doi":"10.47176/jafm.16.10.1851","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47176/jafm.16.10.1851","url":null,"abstract":"One of the most serious problems among smallholder farmers in South and Southeast Asia associated with the use of a surface water irrigation pump is low engine performance. The main cause of this low performance is the decrease in the flow field energy conversion mechanism caused by irreversible processes. The energy conversion theory suggests that pump efficiency is maximum when the loss is minimum. Whatever the origin of the losses, the deterioration in engine performance is due to a deterioration in the reversibility of the pump system. In this study, the pump is classified as the propeller impeller (PI), the improved axial or typical impeller (TI), and the conical hollow-shaped impeller (CI). Entropy production is applied to the pump on design improvement and loss sources location and mechanisms. The entropy production consists of viscous dissipation and turbulent dissipation. In this study, the pump design improvement of various designs based on entropy production has been studied in detail to predict energy loss in areas such as the inlet section, impeller, or discharge pipe. With the entropy generation, the optimum efficiency of different pump designs CI, PI, and TI were determined. The results showed that in all designs, more than 63% of the total entropy generation came from turbulent distribution. The flow in the pumps was analyzed in detail in comparison with entropy generation. It was found that the entropy generation rate increased in the secondary flow direction and was consistent with free-stream velocity. The PI design at the inlet pipe should be modified for reducing flow separation and entropy generation. All design impellers showed high energy losses, especially near the hub and tip along the leading edge and trailing edge. Therefore, it is possible to determine which features of the flow and entropy generation are relevant to the pump improvement.","PeriodicalId":49041,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44539781","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}

An external magnetic field can also help to reduce this non-homogeneity. The goal of this research is to minimize thermocapillary convection in various thin annular pools filled with silicon melt. A three-dimensional (3D) numerical technique is proposed that employs an implicit finite volume formulation. The steady-state thermocapillary flow in six thin annular pools (R=0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8) subjected to an externally induced magnetic field was observed. Under magnetic field influence, the effects of increasing annular gap, R on the hydrothermal wave number and azimuthal pattern are obtained. The results reveal that hydrothermal waves m=14, m=11, m=8, m=6, m=4, and m=3 are observed in steady flow for R=0.3; 0.4; 0.5; 0.6; 0.7, and R=0.8, respectively. The maximum temperature occurs in the intermediate zone between the inner and outer walls when there is no magnetic field. Under a strong enough magnetic field, isothermal lines change form and become concentric circles. As the amplitude of the magnetic field (Ha) grows, the azimuthal velocity and temperature at the free surface reduce, and the asymmetric 3D flow becomes axisymmetric steady when Ha surpasses a threshold value.","PeriodicalId":49041,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45087137","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}

Experiments were conducted to investigate the complex pattern of secondary flow in a narrow and sharp open-channel bend and the underlying mechanism of generation of multiple circulation cells. Compared with the moderate bends, the sharp bends are characteristic of multiple circulation cells from the 90° section. In addition to the curvature-induced circulation cell (S1) and turbulence-induced counter-rotation circulation cell (C1) near the outer bank, another circulation cell (S2) was observed near the inner bank and was attributed to flow separation. A term-by-term analysis of the vorticity equations indicates that the centrifugal term favours S1 and C1 while opposing S2. The turbulence-related term accounts for the formation of C1 and S2. The advective transport term redistributes vorticity and maintains the existence of S2. The dependence of secondary flow structure on Reynolds number and aspect ratio was also explored. With an increase in the Reynolds number from 23000 to 37000, both the strength and size of C1 are reduced by 50%, whereas the size of S2 increases by 20%, and its strength slightly decreases. With a decrease in the aspect ratio from 3.3 to 2, the strengths of S1, S2, and C1 are doubled, and the sizes of C1 and S2 increase by 90% and 20%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":49041,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44746311","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 study the effect of cavitation on the flow characteristics of two-dimensional valves, standard turbulence model and an energy equation model were selected, and the local entropy production rate was defined using the custom field function. The entropy production theory was introduced to numerically simulate the cavitation flow in a two-dimensional valve, and based on this, the structure of the pilot stage of the valve was optimized. The results showed that there was a distinct correlation between the entropy production and the flow characteristics of the valve. When the mass flow rate changed, the entropy production also changed. The turbulent dissipation entropy production always accounted for more than 50% of the total entropy production in the flow field. In the valve sleeve chute area downstream of the valve throttling port, turbulence dissipation entropy production was concentrated; and the energy loss was large. According to the optimization of the structure of this area, the total entropy production of the side-V-slot valve sleeve structure was 7.46% lower than that of the unslotted valve sleeve structure for different valve openings, while the total entropy production of the rear-V-slot valve sleeve structure was 14.31% higher. The energy loss caused by cavitation could be better reduced using a V-shaped groove on the side of the valve sleeve.","PeriodicalId":49041,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46670723","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}

In this paper, large eddy simulations are performed to study the total pressure and swirl distortions in a Busemann inlet at freestream Mach number 6. The on-design flow condition with both the Attack Angle and Sideslip Angle equal to zero and two off-design conditions (Attack Angle = 6 deg, Sideslip Angle = 0 deg and Attack Angle = 6 deg, Sideslip Angle = 6 deg) are considered to explore the flow characteristics inside the inlet duct as well as the distortions at the inlet exit plane. It is found that under the on-design flow condition, the shock structures and boundary layer development are nearly axisymmetric about the inlet axis. The captured freestream is compressed smoothly through inlet duct. The total pressure loss is limited primarily to within the boundary layer region, and nearly no swirling flow is introduced during the flow compression process. Under the off-design flow conditions, the shock structures inside the inlet duct become non-axisymmetric, and localized strong shock–boundary layer interactions occur. In the case of the off-design flow condition with Attack Angle = 6 deg, Sideslip Angle = 0 deg, a large flow separation zone appears owing to the incidence of a strong curved shock on the wall surface at the leeward side in the inlet duct, and the low-kinetic-energy flow contained in this flow separation zone leads to an obvious total-pressure reduction at the exit plane of inlet. Meanwhile, a large-scale swirling flow is formed at the exit plane of inlet owing to the appearance of a nonuniform transverse pressure gradient. Under the off-design conditions, a pair of vortex is observed at the exit plane of inlet. The shock wave–boundary layer interactions under the off-design conditions are stronger than those under the on-design condition, which results in more intense total pressure and swirl distortions. The averages of the fluctuating distortions are more evident than the temporal-averaged total-pressure and swirl distortions. These results show that turbulent flow fluctuations are important in determining the overall distortion level in a Busemann inlet.","PeriodicalId":49041,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48972139","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}

This paper proposes a deposition model to investigate the complex deposition characteristics of fine particles during repeated collision, adhesion, rebound, and removal events in the small space inside a typical impingement-effusion structure with a double-wall blade. The results show that the particles rarely collide with the wall and escape directly from the film hole outlet when the particle diameters are smaller than 0.5 μm. Most particles with diameters of 0.5 to 1.0 μm are deposited after the first collision around the stagnation point in an area 0.35 times the pin-fin diameter. Some particles with diameters of 1.0 to 3.0 μm are deposited in the stagnation region, but most are deposited between the two pin fins and near the film hole after the second collision. Particles with diameters larger than 3.0 μm are mainly deposited on the region enclosed by the adjacent pin fins and film holes after multiple collisions, and the escape rate of particles is higher than 30%. The escape rates of particles with diameters of 0.5 to 1.0 μm and 1.0 to 3.0 μm have the same trends, exhibiting a decrease followed by an increase with the increasing particle diameter. The particles entering the impingement-effusion structure, especially those with diameters of 0.7 -0.8 μm and 1.4 -2.4 μm, are primarily deposited on the target surface, resulting in the cooling performance degradation of double-walled blade.","PeriodicalId":49041,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44990063","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}

The formation of drag force in the car body demands tractive force and significantly affects the engine performance and fuel consumption rate which is not advisable for enhancing aerodynamic efficiency. This paper discusses the methodology to reduce the fuel consumption rate in hatchback cars using a ‘basebleed method’. The hatchback car model with and without basebleed is numerically simulated for the various speed to study the aerodynamic coefficients. The numerical simulation is performed with the k-ε turbulence model for predicting the wake region of both car models with and without basebleed. The numerical study witnessed the hatchback car model with basebleed arrived 6% reduction in the coefficient of drag (CD) compared to without basebleed, which results in a reduction of fuel consumption rate of up to 4.33 %. The research evidence that the stability of the car is not affected while using this basebleed drag reduction method and it is studied from the resultant parameters such as coefficient of lift (CL) and coefficient of side force (CS) and for the varying yaw angle (φ).

However, limited improvements in the aerodynamic performance of centrifugal impellers have led to a greater focus on improving the performance of diffusers. This paper introduces a novel vane conformal diffuser designed to match an impeller with a high pressure ratio. The diffuser utilizes a unique design method that creates transitions from a two-dimensional meridian to a three-dimensional configuration, to achieve a twisted design for the vane and hub. Eventually an integrated vane configuration is formed from the radial section to the bend and axial sections. The novel diffuser significantly reduces the radial size of the entire compressor compared with a conventional vaned diffuser. Different cross-section area distributions are studied to explore the reasonable static pressure recovery ability of the diffuser. To validate the new concept, the diffusers of two existing high-pressure centrifugal compressors are redesigned using the novel conformal diffuser configuration. The numerical results show that the aerodynamic performances of the two redesigned centrifugal compressors are improved in terms of both the total pressure ratio and the isentropic efficiency compared with their counterparts.
