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. The research results can provide a direct theoretical basis for CFD simulation of high-pressure direct injection hydrogen internal combustion engines.</p>","PeriodicalId":560,"journal":{"name":"Fluid Dynamics","volume":"61 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148613345","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}

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.

In horizontal and weakly inclined channels, the flow is shown to be viscous-dominated and adequately described in a quasi-parallel formulation. In this regime, the temporal evolution of the interface is derived directly from the Navier–Stokes equations, providing a simple analytical framework for predicting the interface shape and the associated front velocity. As the channel inclination or the density contrast increase, the flow transitions to an inertia-dominated regime, in which front propagation is governed by the local pressure and momentum balances rather than the viscous stresses. An analytical criterion is proposed to identify the onset of inertia-dominated behavior. At higher inclinations or density contrasts, interfacial instabilities and mixing lead to deviations from simplified predictions that neglect mixing; in these cases, experimental observations are used to interpret variations in the front velocity. The analysis also clarifies how inertia-dominated flows adjust the bulk flow rate to accommodate front motion.

The results indicate that the pre-flush stage can effectively enhance the transport capacity of hydrogen ion H<sup>+</sup> within pores and improve the acidizing effect; specifically, the higher the volume of injected fluid, the more significant the improvement in the acidizing effect.

The steady-state flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in a flat channel is supplemented by an analytical description of planar Hill vortex analogs in sinusoidal valleys. Numerical experiments in ANSYS are used to study the influence of wire thickness (120–400 μm) and the number of peaks (10, 30, 50) on the change in flow velocity, wall shear stress (WSS), and the specific dissipation function. It was found that increasing the wire thickness leads to an increase in velocity (up to 24%) and a decrease in WSS (up to 13%), with a weak dependence on the number of peaks in steady-state mode. In quasi-steady (pulsating) flow, the influence of stent periodicity becomes more pronounced.
