Details of the fluid flow in impellers often influence the overall performance of the pump, and may explain unstable and inefficient operations taking place sometimes. However, most studies in the literature were devoted to understanding the flow in the mid-axial position of the impeller, only a few focusing their analysis on regions closer to solid walls. This paper aims at studying the water flow on the vicinity of the front and rear covers (shroud and hub) of a radial impeller to address the influence of these walls on the fluid dynamics. For that, experiments using particle image velocimetry (PIV) were conducted in a transparent pump at three different axial planes, and the PIV images were processed for obtaining the average velocity fields and profiles, and turbulence levels. Our results suggest that: significant angular deviations are observed when the velocity vectors on peripheral planes are compared with those on the central plane; the velocity profiles close to the border are similar to those in the middle, but the magnitudes are lower close to the hub than to the shroud; the turbulent kinetic energy on the periphery is eight times greater than that measured at the center. Our results bring new insights that can help proposing mathematical models and improving the design of new impellers. A database and technical drawings of the centrifugal pump are also available in this paper.","PeriodicalId":54833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136117641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A delayed detached eddy simulation was performed to extract the three-dimensional unsteady turbulent flow structures formed within the serpentine flow passage of the turbine valve. Acoustic analogies, spatial Fourier transform, and spectral proper orthogonal decomposition on the delayed detached eddy simulation-simulated flow data were complementarily combined to clarify the generation mechanism of tonal and broadband aerodynamic noises. The results showed that broadband noises were produced by wall-attached jet flow and turbulent mixing flow between the annular wall jets and central reverse flow. High-intensity tonal noises were generated by the excitation of multi-order natural acoustic modes of the bell-shaped valve spindle. The intensive acoustic pressure pulsations concentrated inside the bell jar and propagated along the diffuser to the downstream turbine chamber. A novel ring acoustic liner was designed using the acoustic impedance model to reduce the valve noises without sacrificing the flow performance. The noise reduction effectiveness was evaluated by solving the linearized Navier–Stokes equations in the frequency domain.","PeriodicalId":54833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135060305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rear shroud of impeller is trimmed for reducing axial thrust, but this degrades performance. This study analyses performance degradation and optimizes performance and axial force. Experiments and simulations are conducted on different ratios of rear shroud to front shroud (Lambda). Total pressure losses are calculated, and flow losses are visualized using the entropy generation method. Both measured and simulated performances decrease as the rear shroud is trimmed. Designs with different Lambda meet the head coefficient requirement of 1.1. However, Lambda of 0.86 has the best efficiency of 42.7%, Lambda of 0.83 reaches 42.5%, Lambda of 0.8 shows the lowest efficiency of 39.9%. Efficiency in the middle channel improves as the rear shroud is trimmed, but this cannot offset increased losses in the impeller and rear side chamber. Entropy production is exacerbated in the axial passage between impeller and rear side chamber due to the collision between impeller-driven flow and pressure-driven backflow. When Lambda is reduced by 0.03, axial thrust drops by 7%. To compromise between performance and axial thrust, Lambda should be designed at 0.83.","PeriodicalId":54833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135308011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

[1]. A boundary layer is that layer of fluid which forms in the vicinity of a surface bounding the fluid. Every time a fluid moves along a surface a boundary layer near the surface appears. Therefore, boundary layers exist in the interior of water pipes, in sewer pipes, in irrigation channels, near the earth's surface, and around buildings due to winds, near airplane wings, around a moving car, at the river bottom, inside the blood vessels and so on. Therefore, it is a popular field in Fluid Mechanics for engineers, physicists, and mathematicians. Hundreds of papers are published each year in this field. However, errors appear in many papers. Four usual errors made in investigation of boundary layer flows have been analyzed by Pantokratoras in Ref. [2]. The most usual error is that concerning the truncation of velocity and temperature profiles, and this kind of errors exist in Ref. [3]. The analysis of errors in Ref. [3] follows.In Ref. [3] the boundary conditions (11) are as follows: (1)f′=0,θ=0,ϕ=0 asη→∞where f′ is the nondimensional fluid velocity, θ is the nondimensional temperature, and ϕ is the nondimensional concentration. In Eq. (1), η→∞ means a very long η.In Fig. 1 of the present work, the dimensionless temperature profile taken from Fig. 11 of Ref. [3] is shown. It is seen that the temperature profile from Ref. [3] does not approach the ambient condition asymptotically but intersects the horizontal axis with a steep angle (the profile by Ref. [3] is a straight line). At the same figure, it is shown a correct profile (sketch), proposed by the present author, which extends to high values of transverse component η and approaches smoothly the ambient condition. In Fig. 11 of Ref. [3], the calculations have been restricted to a maximum η equal to 5. It is obvious that this calculation domain is insufficient to capture the real shape of profile and a higher value of η is needed.According to above analysis, most of the curves in Figs. 3, 5, 6, 8–16, 18–21 in Ref. [3] are incorrect.The temperature gradient θ′(0)=∂θ(0)∂η at point A, which lies at the sheet, is quite different in the work presented in Ref. [3] and the corrected profile. This means that ALL −θ′(0) values in Tables 1–4 in Ref. [3] are wrong. More information on the truncation error is given by Pantokratoras in Ref. [4]. Recently a similar paper with truncated profiles has been retracted [5].From Fig. 1 of Ref. [3], it is clear that the x axis is horizontal, and the y axis is vertical. The horizontal momentum equation (2) in Ref. [3] is as follows: (2)u∂u∂x+v∂u∂y=υ∂2u∂y2−λ1(u2∂2u∂x2+2uv∂2u∂x∂y+v2∂2u∂y2)−υku−σB02uρ+g(βT(T−T∞)+βC(C−C∞)It is well known that gravity acts in the vertical direction. Therefore, the gravity term g(βT(T−T∞)+βC(C−C∞) in Eq. (2) must be zero. For the same reason, the gravity terms Grθ and Gcϕ in the transformed equatio","PeriodicalId":54833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136215059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The limited data available shows that the cylinder aspect ratio affects the drag and frequency content of flow within the wake however these studies were done at discreet Reynolds numbers. In order to better understand the combined impact of aspect ratio and Reynolds number a series of wind tunnel tests and numerical simulations has been conducted for cylinders with two free ends having aspect ratios of 2–15. Tests were carried out in the subcritical regime with Reynolds numbers ranging 13000–105,000. Tip vortex effects, which vary with aspect ratio, are shown to impact the cylinder surface pressure, drag coefficient, and wake Strouhal numbers though Reynolds number effects are minor for the conditions studied.

The turbulence response is investigated as the acceleration periods and acceleration rates are varied in a controlled fashion. This work expands the research by Mathur et al. (2018, “Temporal Acceleration of a Turbulent Channel Flow,” J. Fluid Mech., 835, pp. 471–490.) studying slower and longer transient flows. It also complements the numerical studies of a step increase in the flowrate of (He and Seddighi, 2013, “Turbulence in Transient Channel Flow,” J.

The results obtained from the current investigations are qualitatively similar to those obtained previously. Consistent with previous studies, the response of turbulence in the current slow transient flow is again characterized by a laminar-turbulent transition. The initial increase of the flow development among the cases investigated can be categorized as faster, medium, and slower responses. Modifications are made to the equivalent Reynolds number and the initial turbulence intensity proposed earlier in order to account for the slow accelerating flow rates and the continuous change of the bulk velocities of the cases investigated. It has been shown that the critical equivalent Reynolds number based on these modifications and the initial turbulence intensity are well correlated for all cases investigated and a power-law relation is established.","PeriodicalId":54833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136328784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These integral approaches utilize large amounts of data from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to address present difficulties associated with separating thrust from drag associated with propelling bodies as well as potentially resolve issues associated with defining a nonzero efficiency for a body in self-propulsion. Such a fundamental issue is addressed through strategic control volume assessments of the momentum and energy conservation equations. In this work, the Method of Manufactured Solutions (MMS) is used to verify the integral-based evaluation approach and better quantify output. The MMS results indicate the method is valid and that one can separate work associated with lift and drag from the energy budget. This separation procedure provides a means to separate propulsive and drag forces. The effort then studies previously validated CFD simulations of heaving and pitching foils to provide insight associated with separating axial forces into their thrust and drag components for highly complex systems. The effort then presents a new efficiency metric that can obtain nonzero efficiencies in self-propulsion. Overall, the results indicate that energy-based assessments provide insight that is a step forward toward isolating loss from propulsive mechanisms and developing proper metrics of efficiency.","PeriodicalId":54833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135035241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A modified low-Reynolds-number turbulence model developed by Yang and Shih (YS model) is used to perform the numerical investigation. The YS model involves applying integration to a wall technique to capture the flow and heat transfer phenomenon in the near-wall region. The Reynolds number is taken as 15,000 and Prandtl number of the fluid as 7. The plate motion effect on the flow behavior is observed for the various velocity ratios Up =0−2. The velocity vector diagrams and the local velocity profiles at various axial locations are plotted to analyze the flow pattern variation with the plate velocity. Based on the investigation of velocity profiles, nearly self-similar velocity profiles are noticed for Up=0, 0.5, and 2 whereas for Up=1.0 and 1.5, the velocity profiles display similarity near the wall but diverge away from the wall. The turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) (k) and its dissipation rate (ε) within the viscous shear regime are predicted for moving plate conditions. The dissipation rate appears to be higher for higher velocity ratios. Overall, the plate motion significantly influences the flow field.","PeriodicalId":54833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135905067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
