A framework based on the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method and large eddy simulation approach was adopted in the present study. The performances of various subgrid models, including the Smagorinsky (SM) model, the dynamic Smagorinsky (DSM) model, the wall-adapting local-eddy-viscosity (WALE) model, and the VREMAN model, have been analyzed through flow simulations of the SD7003 airfoil at a Reynolds number of 60000. It turns out that the SM model fails to predict the emergence of LSB, even modified by the Van-Driest damping function. On the contrary, the best agreement is generally achieved by the WALE model in terms of flow separation, reattachment, and transition locations, together with the aerodynamic loads. Furthermore, the influence of numerical dissipation has also been discussed through the comparison of skin friction and resolved Reynolds stresses. As numerical dissipation decreases, the prediction accuracy of the WALE model degrades. Meanwhile, nonlinear variation could be observed from the performances of the DSM model, which could be attributed to the interaction between the numerical dissipation and the subgrid model.\u0000</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"41 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142410925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the operating modes of the precooled cycle engines were divided into turbine mode, precooling mode, and ramjet mode. Secondly, a fluid-structure coupling heat transfer program was used to evaluate the cooling effects of different fuels on the incoming high-temperature air. The result shows that the equivalent heat sink of ammonia is higher than that of other fuels and can meet the cooling requirement of at least Mach 4 in the precooling mode. Thirdly, the performance of the PC-RT in the turbine and precooling modes was compared at Mach 2.5. The result shows that air precooling alleviates the restriction of the pumping pressure on the minimum required <i>β</i> and improves the specific thrust within a reasonable range of <i>β</i>. Fourthly, the performance of the precooled cycle engines was compared when using different fuels. The result shows that the specific thrust of ammonia is greater than that of other fuels, and the performance advantages of ammonia are the most obvious in the precooling mode due to its highest equivalent heat sink. To sum up, the precooled cycle engines with ammonia as the fuel and coolant presented in this study have the advantages of no carbon emissions, low cost, high specific thrust, and no clogging of the cooling channels by cracking products. They are suitable for applications such as the first-stage power of the two-stage vehicle, and high Mach numbers air-breathing flight.\u0000</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"41 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solver is based on a modeling approach that uses the velocity and pressure as the primitive variables, which offers a bridge between computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational structural dynamics. The spatiotemporal discretization leverages the variational multiscale formulation and the generalized-α method as a means of providing a robust discrete scheme. In particular, the time integration scheme does not suffer from the overshoot phenomenon and optimally dissipates high-frequency spurious modes in both subproblems of FSI. Based on the chosen fully implicit scheme, we systematically develop a combined suite of nonlinear and linear solver strategies. Invoking a block factorization of the Jacobian matrix, the Newton-Raphson procedure is reduced to solving two smaller linear systems in the multi-corrector stage. The first is of the elliptic type, indicating that the algebraic multigrid method serves as a well-suited option. The second exhibits a two-by-two block structure that is analogous to the system arising in CFD. Inspired by prior studies, the additive Schwarz domain decomposition method and the block-factorization-based preconditioners are invoked to address the linear problem. Since the number of unknowns matches in both subdomains, it is straightforward to balance loads when parallelizing the algorithm for distributed-memory architectures. We use two representative FSI benchmarks to demonstrate the robustness, efficiency, and scalability of the overall FSI solver framework. In particular, it is found that the developed FSI solver is comparable to the CFD solver in several aspects, including fixed-size and isogranular scalability as well as robustness.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"41 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142410284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 finds that after considering the influence of higher-order shear strain on the normal stress, the Poynting effect in ribbed silicone rubber tubes with certain cross-sectional shapes exhibits a new phenomenon—a non-monotonic trend between axial deformation and twist angle. This paper develops a nonlinear finite element program for simulating large deformations of hyperelastic materials, and studies the Poynting effect in ribbed circular tubes of twisted silicone rubber. The results show that in the ribbed circular tubes with a porosity between 12% and 40% (with the number of ribs ranging from 12 to 26), there appears a normal to reverse conversion of the Poynting effect, that is, the axial extension ratio first decreases and then increases during a monotonic loading process, indicating that the influence of higher-order shear strain on normal stress cannot be ignored when the cross-sectional shape is complex. Especially in ribbed circular tubes with about 20% porosity, a substantial change of axial normal strain from −0.035% to 0.035% can be achieved within a twist angle range of 180°. Based on this, the quantitative influence of higherorder shear strain on normal stress is studied.
