The working performance of the scroll compressor under various axial clearances was studied, and the influence of speed and compression ratio on the internal flow field pressure, temperature, speed, and flow rate of the scroll compressor was analyzed. When the axial clearance increases, the pressure, the temperature, the flow rate, and the power of the scroll compressor gradually decrease. In the fluid domain of a scroll compressor, the pressure distribution is uniform, while the temperature and velocity distributions are uneven. As the rotational speed increases, the leakage of the scroll compressor decreases, and the coefficient of variation in the monitoring point temperature decreases from 1.6041 to 1.4301%. The coefficient of variation in the monitoring point velocity decreases from 12.7730 to 8.9128%, and the degree of the uneven temperature and velocity distributions gradually decreases; when the compression ratio increases, the leakage of the scroll compressor increases, and the temperature variation coefficient at the monitoring point increases from 1.5700 to 2.7892%, while the velocity variation coefficient at the monitoring point increases from 11.3075 to 19.9592%. The degree of the uneven temperature and velocity distributions gradually increases. Appropriately increasing the rotational speed and reducing the compression ratio can reduce the leakage of the scroll compressor and minimize the uneven gas temperature and velocity distributions in the compression chamber of the scroll compressor.</p>","PeriodicalId":560,"journal":{"name":"Fluid Dynamics","volume":"61 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148699699","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 presence of the shear layer leads to the appearance of blocking points in the dispersion curves, at which the group velocity of the developing flexural-gravity waves vanishes. The linear approximation becomes unsuitable in the vicinity of these points. Using multipole expansions, the dependences of the hydrodynamic load (added mass and damping coefficients) on the characteristics of the ice cover and shear flow, the oscillation frequency, and the cylinder immersion depth are investigated.

However, current research lacks systematic experimental data and empirical models for the near-field Mach disk structure of high-pressure hydrogen jets. This study experimentally investigates the near-field Mach disk structure of the high-pressure hydrogen jets based on high-speed schlieren/shadow imaging technology. Firstly, the transient evolution laws of the Mach disk height and diameter are revealed. It is found that the Mach disk first appears approximately at 0.075 ms after injection and enters a quasi-steady state at around 0.25 ms. Secondly, based on the quasi-steady state data, empirical relationships between the dimensionless Mach disk height and diameter and the pressure ratio are established. Using the least squares fitting, empirical coefficients for the dimensionless Mach disk height and diameter are obtained as 0.4384 and 0.1442, respectively, with determination coefficients of 0.9977 and 0.989. By comparing with the empirical coefficients of classical air jets, the reasons for the lower empirical coefficients are attributed to the high-pressure real gas effect, the squeezing suppression by the high ambient pressure, and the flow loss at the outlet caused by the guide slot.

Previous research has documented the impact of varying the wavelength and amplitude of sinusoidal tubercles on the aerodynamic efficiency of various airfoil models, with a particular focus on changes at the leading edge. This study introduces a novel approach to tubercle design by analyzing the aerodynamic efficiency of a sinusoidal leading edge airfoil featuring a single, high-amplitude tubercle, offering a more realistic estimate of its effects. The research involves the development of three wing models – first, a baseline with a smooth leading edge; second, an airfoil with a tubercle labeled A3λ11; and third, an airfoil featuring a high-amplitude tubercle (A311λ11) on a sinusoidal leading edge. All airfoil models are developed using the NACA0021 airfoil profile and simulated at the 20° angle of attack. Large eddy simulations (LES) are conducted at a chord-based Reynolds number Re<sub>c</sub> = 1.2 × 10<sup>5</sup>, and the results are validated against experimental data reported in the literature. Compared with the baseline airfoil, both tubercle airfoils show a substantial increase in the lift coefficient and a reduction in the drag coefficient. For the A3λ11 and A311λ11 airfoil models the lift coefficients increase by 34.8 and 12%, respectively. Moreover, reduction in the drag coefficient of about 10.3 and 23.6% are noticed for the A3λ11 and A311λ11 airfoil models, respectively.
