This paper conducts a detailed numerical investigation to study the evolutions of flow topology and aerodynamic losses in a low-aspect ratio compressor rotor operating from freewindmill condition (near stall point) to highly loaded windmill condition (near choke point). Firstly, a simplified numerical calculation method based on energy transfer between rotor blade and working fluid is employed to capture the windmill points at low rotational speeds. Then, the influences of windmill on tip leakage loss are analyzed. At windmilling conditions, the tip leakage flow travels across the clearance from suction to pressure side and causes blockages near the pressure surface in the casing end-wall region, which is quite different from the flow phenomenon at freewindmill conditions. Finally, the influences of windmill on flow separations are investigated. In tip region, with the rotor operating from freewindmill to highly loaded windmill condition, the flow separation switches from suction surface separation to pressure surface separation, and both the intensity and size are increased. Unlike near the tip, the hub separations always appear on the suction surface and a radial growth is observed near the trailing edge at the highly loaded windmilling condition, which is not presented at both the near stall and windmill points.

Tilt-rotor aircraft is a new type of aircraft which can take off and land vertically and cruise at high speed. It can be used to perform specific tasks by special departments such as public security or fire rescue. The terrain environment and threat of tasks are complex and changeable. In order to ensure flight safety, the flight trajectory should be planned in advance. As a global optimization algorithm simulating biological evolution process, genetic algorithm is mostly used in two-dimensional flight path planning. In this paper, the three-dimensional digital map is preprocessed according to the actual mission environment and constraints of the tiltrotor aircraft. The related genetic operators and individual evaluation function of the genetic algorithm are improved to reduce the calculation of the trajectory planning and effectively avoid the partial optimal solution. The simulation results show that after preprocessing the 3D digital map, a 3D mission trajectory with the best cost in the complex mission environment can be successfully planned by the improved genetic algorithm.

Dredging engineering is widely used in port and waterway construction, water conservancy facilities construction, environmental protection dredging, land reclamation, subsea tunnel excavation and deep-sea mining, among which drag suction dredger is an important tool for dredging operation. During the process of its construction, the mud overflow process is an important link to realize the mud treatment of excavation. According to the actual engineering conditions, the loading and overflow process is an important part of the treatment of excavated slurry. With the increasing requirements of environmental protection, the related ecological pollution caused by dredging has become a hot spot today, and the diffusion of overflow slurry is one of the sources of pollution generated by dredging suction dredgers.

Based on the hybrid methods of cavitation transient simulation of multiphase flow and the boundary element numerical acoustic calculation, the noise of contrarotating propellers in states of cavitation and non-cavitation is calculated, the increase quantity of the noise spectrum level in cavitation relative to in non-cavitation condition is analyzed; the calculated noise value and the tested value are compared. The multiphase flow transient simulation includes three simulations: unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes method (URANS), scale adaptive simulation (SAS) and detached eddy simulation (DES). The testing result shows that the open water performance curve of propellers coincides well with the experimental result in the range of large range of feed coefficient. SAS presents a comparable ability with DES in capturing the pulsating pressure of cavitation and can respond well to the unsteady load noise. RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) is appropriate for the low frequency noise. The calculating error of line spectrum cavitation volume pulsation 1 kHz is less than4.23 dB, and the average error of spectrum level 1/3 Octave band is less than1.83dB in the frequency band of 1 kHz-3kHz, and the predicted error of the total sound pressure level is less than 2.74dB, And the attenuation coefficient of sound pressure level with is calculated by simulation, which can provide certain help for the design and the noise prediction of propellers.

Bubble atomization technology, originated in the 1990s, has the advantages of simple structure, good atomization effect, low influence of liquid viscosity on atomization effect and low energy consumption. At present, it is widely used in the fields of combustion, spraying and fire fighting. In order to further expand the application field of bubble atomization, the possibility of applying bubble atomization to cooling and cooling is studied in this paper. In this paper, six types of bubble atomization nozzles with different structures are designed and a special experimental platform is built to measure the data of six types of nozzle. The flow characteristics, droplet size distribution, droplet velocity distribution and other parameters of six kinds of bubble atomizing nozzles were studied, and the experimental results were compared and analyzed. On this basis, Fluent simulation software was used in this paper to simulate the gas-liquid two-phase distribution, velocity distribution and spray velocity distribution at the nozzle outlet of the mixing chamber structure, so as to supplement and verify the experimental results. Different nozzle structures have great influence on the atomization effect of the bubble atomization nozzle. This conclusion will play a certain role in the design of the bubble atomization nozzle in the future.

The aero-thermal-elastic coupled simulations of an air-cooled turbine vane were carried out by a developed coupled solver, HIT3D, employing the finite difference method. The pressure on the vane surface and the temperature in the solid vane were obtained by the coupled heat transfer simulation, then the single-way aero-elastic and thermal-elastic analysis on the turbine vane were performed. It shows that the predicted profile temperature employing the transition model agrees well with the measured one, the blade deformation caused by aerodynamic force is negligible, and that the greater thermal deformation and thermal stress locate at the blade leading edge pressure side and at the blade trailing edge, as the result of the strong temperature gradient and the constraint at the vane endwalls.

Implementing the producing degree of reserves in the developed area is of great significance for timely understanding of oil and gas development trends in the developed area, and then taking targeted adjustment measures to improve oil and gas producing efficiency. On the basis of the analysis of different scale pore percolation capacity of reservoir and the study of four kinds of porosity (connected porosity, effective porosity, flowing porosity, filling porosity) and their corresponding calculation models of oil saturation, a quantitative characterization parameter - "oil and gas producing efficiency" of the producing degree of reserves in the developed area is proposed, and its theoretical discussion and case analysis are carried out. Research shows: 1) Oil and gas producing efficiency is the ratio of the reserves involved in percolation to geological reserves in the developed area of the oilfield, which is finally expressed as the ratio of the product of the flowing porosity and the original oil saturation of the flowing pores to the product of the connected porosity and the original oil saturation of the connected pores. 2) Reservoir flowing porosity and the original oil saturation of flowing pores are a function of displacement power, while the original oil saturation of connected pores is a function of reservoir forming power. Therefore, the oil and gas producing efficiency is essentially a coupling function of displacement power and reservoir forming power. 3) When the displacement power is greater than the reservoir forming power, the oil and gas will be fully developed, and the oil and gas producing efficiency will be 1; when the displacement power is less than the reservoir forming power, the oil and gas will be partially developed, and the oil and gas producing efficiency will be less than 1. 4) The calculation examples of X oilfield in Ordos Basin show that the connected porosity is 11.2%, the original oil saturation of the connected pores is 57.1%, the flowing porosity is 5.32%, the oil and gas producing efficiency is 0.832, and the oil and gas are partially developed. If the oil and gas are to be fully developed, the production pressure difference can be increased from 4.1MPa to 6.2MPa. 5) The study of oil and gas producing efficiency deepens the understanding of reserves producing status in the developed area of the oilfield, and has guiding significance for the targeted production adjustment and production pressure difference optimization of the oilfield.

In order to maximize the energy extraction potential from the marine resource, the primary task is to improve the power generation efficiency of multi-unit turbine arrays. There are many factors that affect the power generation efficiency of hydro turbine arrays. This paper mainly studies the influence of the effects of array structure parameters on the flow structure of the near-wake flow field and the energy utilization. The numerical simulation results are compared with the experimental data to verify the reliability of the numerical model. The double-row staggered arrangement of the turbine array is selected, and the size of the array structure parameter, the horizontal distance Dx and the vertical distance Dy, is changed to calculate a series of working conditions. The analysis of the results shows that when the horizontal distance Dx is 2.5RD and the vertical distance Dy is 2RD, the energy efficiency of the turbine array will reach the highest.

This study investigated the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of pollutant emission in a natural draft dry cooling tower (NDDCT) with flue gas injection. In order to predict the diffusion and distribution characteristics of the pollutant more accurately, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) was applied to predict the flow field and pollutant concentration field and compared with Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS). The relationship between pollutant concentration pulsation and velocity pulsation is emphatically analyzed. The results show that the maximum value of LES is about 43 times that of RANS for the prediction of pollutant concentration in the inner shell of cooling tower. Compared with RANS, LES can simulate flow field pulsation with a smaller scale and higher frequency.

The internal cavity is widely used on new generation aircraft. However, there are some new aerodynamic and acoustic issues accompanied with the internal cavity. Store separation is a challenge when separated from a high-speed cavity, the store usually generates nose-up pitch moment due to the separated flow and large static pressure gradient, which is a threat to store separation safety. Leading edge spoiler is an effective passive flow control method to improve the store separation characteristics, however the effects of varisized leading edge spoiler on store separation characteristics are still unknown. In this paper, a parameterized leading edge spoiler model is established to investigate the store separation characteristics by leading edge spoilers flow control before supersonic cavity, a small aspect ratio fly-wing aircraft and a simplified store model are employed to simulate the store separation characteristics. Numerical results show that the leading edge spoiler lifts the shear layer and significantly changes the pressure distribution inside the cavity, which makes the store a nose down pitch angle during separation. The height of leading edge spoiler greatly influences the store separation characteristics for it changes the shear layer and vortex structure. The angle of spoiler and the gas between spoiler and aircraft also have great effects on store separation, larger angle and smaller gas lead to less nose-up angle.

Surface texture technology has been proven to be an effective way to improve the lubrication performance of friction surfaces. In order to obtain the optimal surface texture distribution parameters, taking the spherical crown pit texture model as the research object, and selecting the unequal rectangular control unit to establish the surface texture distribution model with different horizontal and vertical distribution distances (densities).According to the principle of fluid dynamic pressure lubrication, a two-dimensional Reynolds equation based on the N-S equation is established and solved by the multigrid method to study the effect of texture distribution parameters on the surface hydrodynamic lubrication under plane motion. The results show that when the texture unit Lx is 3.4r and the aspect ratio Ly / Lx is 0.82, the optimal oil film bearing capacity can be obtained. When the control unit of the boundary pit is appropriately increased so that the left and right sides of the pit at the boundary are about 3.4r, the oil film pressure stability can be effectively improved.

The element free Galerkin method (EFG) is much interest in recent years due to its merits of only node information needed in constructing shape functions and high precision. However, its low computational efficiency becomes a technical issue in the simulation of realistic problems. To develop a more efficient and accurate method, the point interpolation method using quadratically consistent three-point integration scheme (PIM-QC3) is proposed, based on consistency framework for meshfree nodal shape function and its derivatives. And the shape functions along with corrected nodal derivatives at integration points, adopt quadratic basis, meet the differentiation of the approximation consistency (DAC) and the discrete divergence consistency (DDC). In addition, they possess Kronecker delta property and could enforce displacement boundary conditions simply. The T6-Scheme is utilized for node selection in constructing approximation, to avoid the singular moment matrix and make the computation of shape functions simple. Numerical results show the excellence of the proposed method in accuracy and efficiency of all tested methods. Specially, it is more efficient than three-point integration scheme based on element-free Galerkin method. The research in this paper could provide an efficient and reliable tool for analysis of engineering structure.

Single bubble formation behaviours which develops from submerged nozzle under the quasi-static mode in stagnant deionized water in a rectangular column are studied. Bubble formation behaviours are captured by a digital high-speed camera and information of the induced adjacent flow field is synchronously obtained via the particle image velocimetry (PIV) system. Interactions of induced bubble adjacent flow patterns with bubble formation behaviours are investigated at each stage of a three-stage bubble formation model. Results indicate that recirculation of the continuous phase near the bubble base accelerates rapid detachment of the bubble and the dynamic pressure variation in the liquid induced by bubble behaviours is the main reason why such flow pattern appears.

Aiming at the problems of short spray distance and poor atomization effect in pesticide spraying. In addition, in order to enhance the initial velocity of the droplets and the secondary atomization of the droplets, a new air-driven combined electrostatic nozzle based on the Venturi effect is designed in this paper. And a method for accelerating and atomizing mist droplets using the Venturi effect is proposed. Combined with the distribution of airflow from the venturi, the acceleration and atomization effects of the nozzle were verified and analyzed. Using the factor design test method, three structural parameters, namely the distance A from the nozzle outlet to the venturi mouth, the retracting radius B of the venturi mouth, and the extension distance C of the venturi mouth were tested, and the following conclusions were drawn. At the 1% significance level, the single factors A, B, and C have significant effects on the average velocity of the venturi throat. The interaction of two factors, AB, AC, and BC, had no significant effect on the average velocity of the venturi throat. The interaction of three factors ABC has a significant effect on the average velocity of the venturi throat.

Planning an automatic detection system of the air tightness of medicine box is very necessary for growing demand for storage of pharmaceutical products. In this study, the high-fidelity CFD study is performed for the air tightness of the medicine box, using the LBM algorithm. The high-fidelity results indicate that after about 5.24 s, the stable value of the average static pressure of the ring cavity remains at about -9414 Pa. The slit flow in the early stage of micro-leakage is very complicated, especially for the initial stage. The location of the micro-leakage is concentrated in the directions of 1 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 7 o'clock and 11 o'clock along such edge of the end cap, therefore, the sealed end cover needs to be further improved. Additionally, the idea of this research work can provide a good basis and reference for the subsequent series of related airtightness studies.

Many industrial applications involve the measurements of the velocity and size for the design of the products. Examples of such products are kitchen ventilator, water pump, household appliances and industrial oriented nozzles for fire suppression and paint. In the area of industrial safety, validation of the face mask for leakage is also an important aspect of the mask design. Fire suppression, paint nozzle, and mask filter are items which we encounter and rely on in our daily life. The design of products of those items to provide the best and optimal outcome is a critical aspect of the research and development in many industries. This paper covers two laser based techniques, Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer (PDPA) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), for the design of fire suppression nozzles, paint nozzles, and N95 filter mask. The results of velocity profiles and droplet size distributions provided the critical information to evaluate the design and to allow corrections of deficiency in the process. Both the PDPA and PIV are non-invasive laser based techniques which introduce no disturbance to the flow and particle fields to be measured, giving the true representation of the measurement results.

In this contribution, we described a Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) analysis of a turbulent channel flow database at a moderate friction Reynolds number Reτ ≈ 950. More specifically, a composite-based DMD analysis was conducted, employing hybrid snapshots assembled by skin friction Cf(tk) and either instantaneous Reynolds stress $({u}^{^{\prime} }{v}^{^{\prime} }(\overrightarrow{x};{t}_{k}))$ or streamwise velocity fluctuation $({u}^{^{\prime} }(\overrightarrow{x};{t}_{k}))$ fields. The DMD modes thus obtained were sorted according to its relevance to the Cf: less than 2% of the modes suffice to reconstruct accurately either the streamwise velocity or the Reynolds stress profiles near the wall. Furthermore, we aim to extend our preliminary work on the analysis of the turbulent database, by considering snapshots encompassing a larger spatial subdomain and covering a longer temporal span. However, this study involved data matrices significantly larger than that one, which the memory footprint of this problem exceeds a typical workstation. Accordingly, we have resorted to the parallel, memory distributed DMD algorithm as a reinforcement. With this enhanced composite DMD algorithm, flow features of moderate and even large turbulent channel problems could be identified and characterized.

This paper performs the effect of solid volume fractions (0.09< SVF<0.64) on the flow through and around a square cylinder array at Re=63832. A delayed vortex shedding occurs in 8x8 array (SVF) while the Strhoul number is slightly higher than the solid one. For the intermediate SVF (0.25<SVF<0.49), the separated shear layers (SSLs) contain large-scale turbulent eddies but their ends cannot interact to generate wake billows. The maximum of root mean square of transverse velocity along wake center-line decreases monotonously as SVF decreases, and several ways of defining the spatial extent of the wake region are discussed.

Aimed at the improvement of ability of the high altitude test (HAT) facility for rocket engine, a new designed secondary-throat diffuser with ejection of low total pressure and supersonic cold air is proposed. The main structural characteristic of the new-designed diffuser is that: a groove is added to the start of the secondary throat of diffuser, and the supersonic cold air with low total pressure is ejected into diffuser to form the gas film, which leads to a reduction of the wall temperature and thermal load of the new-designed diffuser, and an improvement of the ability of diffuser holding shock train. The effects of cold air on flow characteristics and performance of diffuser are numerically investigated in detail under different conditions including total pressure and Mach number. The results show that the wall temperature along the diffuser increases with an increase of Mach number, and decreases with an increase of total pressure; with an increase of Mach number, the starting position of pressure rise moves upstream to the inlet of diffuser; and with an increase of total pressure, the starting position of pressure rise moves downstream to the end of diffuser.

The two-dimensional numerical simulation for NACA0015 airfoil and S325 airfoil were conducted with k-ω SST turbulence model. For the k-ω SST turbulence model could not predict the airfoil stall characteristics accurately, the non-equilibrium turbulence transport nature was systematically analyzed.

The flying-wing aircraft is a promising concept for the mid or long-term commercial aviation due to its excellent performance in aerodynamic and structure, which has been studied by a number of investigators both experimentally and computationally. However, the conditions in wind-tunnel testing do not necessarily reflect those observed in free flight, the support structure interference is an important factor to affect experimental data collected from wind tunnels. Support interference characteristics of a flying-wing model from subsonic to supersonic speed is investigated by numerical simulation methods. Results show that grid convergence is obtained with the series of grids, which implies that the solutions are in the asymptotic range. The support has a relatively small effect on aerodynamic characteristics of flying-wing aircraft at low speed while has a relatively large effect on drag at transonic speed and supersonic speed.

The stochastic characteristic of lid-driven cavity flow under the condition of Re=100 is investigated in this paper by a non-intrusive polynomial chaos method. The lid-driven velocity and viscosity coefficient are assumed to be two independent stochastic input variables with Gaussian distributions. The velocities at every grid points are the response of interest and no longer deterministic but stochastic. Their stochastic characteristics are represented by Hermite polynomials with interaction effects between two input variables considered. The statistical results, including mean value, variance and the relative contribution of each input variable to the variance of outputs are analysed. It is found that the variance of velocity shows similar structures with its magnitude of mean value and the correlation coefficient is larger than 0.96. The nearly linear correlation coefficient shows that the lid-driven velocity is the main factor affecting the velocity distribution and the influence of viscosity coefficient on most regions is unimportant. The analysis of stochastic flow field helps understand the inherent mechanism in the lid-driven cavity flow.

A three-dimensional model and finite element model of the diesel engine SCR catalytic converter were established by using ANSYS software. The numerical simulation of the internal flow field for the diesel engine SCR catalytic converter was performed. The results show that the pressure loss of the catalytic converter is larger and the velocity distribution in the front of substrate is nonuniform. On this base, the effects of the diameters and lengths of the substrate on the catalytic converter's internal flow field characteristic were studied. The results show that when the substrate's length increases, the pressure loss increases and the velocity distribution uniformity in the front of substrate becomes worse. When the diameter of substrate increases, the pressure loss decreases and the velocity distribution uniformity in the front of substrate becomes better. Therefore, the structure of catalytic converter was optimized. Through the optimization of the structure, the velocity distribution in the front of substrate is more uniform. The passing capacity of substrate is increased. The conversion efficiency of catalytic converter is improved. The back pressure is reduced.

Collector is one of the key parts of the high-speed free-jet wind tunnel, which directly affects the performance of wind tunnel. In this paper, a small high-speed free-jet wind tunnel is used as the test platform to carry out the start-up and operation characteristics test of wind tunnel. Start-up pressure characteristics were obtained at various Mach number, and the influence of the collector throat heights and collector positions on start-up pressure and matching pressure was preliminarily studied. The results show that the high collector throat height can meet the requirements of wind tunnel start-up and pressure matching. The closer the collector is to the nozzle, the smaller the corresponding starting pressure and matching pressure. However, this trend weakens with the decrease of Mach number, which lays a foundation for the development of large high-speed free jet equipment.

Haemodynamic conditions play a crucial role in the pathological development of aortic dissection (AD). However, it is challenging to quantitatively and precisely capture the flow features in vivo. In this study, a mock circulation loop (MCL) embedded with patient-specific aortic phantoms was proposed. In order to evaluate perfusion characters, a normal aortic model and an AD model were established with twelve main branches. The system is capable of replicating the aortic geometry, vascular compliance, characteristic resistance, and peripheral resistance of the cardiovascular system. By altering controlling parameters, it can mimic various cardiovascular conditions. The physiological healthy rest cardiac condition was reproduced and the rationality and accuracy of the system was confirmed by comparing the measured flow data from the MCL with a normal aortic phantom and the in vivo ultrasound velocimetry of healthy volunteers (maximum discrepancy was 4.69%). Different flow features between the normal and AD phantoms were quantitatively compared by pressure sensors and ultrasonic flow sensors under the same condition. Therefore, the proposed MCL can be applied as a research tool for in vitro haemodynamic analysis of the aorta. Moreover, it can be applied to evaluate the performance of interventional devices and to provide a realistic platform for trainings on interventional treatments.

For a methane (CH4) bubble rising in liquid, knowledge of bubble rising characteristics is crucial for the comprehension of methane dissolution rate and the inter-phase mass transfer. Here, the investigation of a methane bubble was performed using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique and the volume of fluid (VOF) two-phase model. The deionized water of 13 MPa and 5°C was used as the carrier of the rising bubble. Bubbles with diameters ranging from 3.0–6.0 mm were selected. The results show that the bubble instantaneous liquid velocity distribution and the wake structure manifest unique characteristics under such a high-pressure and low-temperature condition. The bubbly flow involves complicated vortex structures. Moreover, the bubble velocity is relatively low relative to those obtained under general conditions. A non-dimensional analysis of the bubble behavior indicates that the results obtained here deviate significantly from available results obtained under general conditions. The bubble diameter significantly influences the drag coefficient.

Based on the oil-water two-phase liquid flow model, with equal-viscosity and water-wet unequal-diameter parallel channels, the previous researches on the retention mechanism of "residual oil in the form of oil droplets or oil column" during water flooding, and they stated that "residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)"can be retained in both large and small channels. Re-examination of the model shows that "residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)" cannot be retained in large channels, but only in small channels. By changing the wettability and oil-water viscosity (variable viscosity) of this model, the small channel retention characteristics of "residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)" remain unchanged. This research shows that: (1) When the oil-water phase flows in the unequal-diameter parallel channel model, the flow velocity of the large channel is always greater than the small channel, and the "residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)" is always retained in the small channel. (2) The retention of small channels of "residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)" is general, and is not affected by changes in factors such as pressure difference, capillary force, total flow, wettability, and oil-water viscosity ratio.

Feed water pumps play an important role in floating nuclear power plant system equipment, and their safe and reliable operation directly affects the safety and reliability of the entire power plant. The movement status of floating nuclear power plants under sea conditions will change, and additional inertial forces are generated on the pipelines of the water supply system, which may cause cavitation of the feed water pump. This paper deduces the additional force on the fluid at the inlet pipe of the feed pump under the marine environment, establishes a mathematical model of the fluid flow at the inlet pipe of the feed pump under the influence of ocean conditions, and calculates the stable operation of the feed pump under the ocean conditions once in a century according to the layout plan. The requirements of effective cavitation allowance and necessary cavitation allowance provide theoretical calculation basis for design and layout optimization of feed pumps for floating nuclear power plants.

Based on the requirements of Formula Student China racing rules, the maximum diameter of the restrictor valve is 20mm in the intake system. In order to improve the engine charge coefficient and reduce the impact on performance caused by uneven air intake of each cylinder, it is quite necessary to redesign and analyse the air intake system under. Firstly, we calculate the volume of the pressure stabilizing chamber and the length of the intake manifold applied theoretical knowledge. Secondly, we redesign the model of intake system using UG software, which includes the parameter of the throttle angles for inlet and outlet, the intake manifold length, the volume of the pressure stabilizing chamber. By comparing and analysing the different data of inlet-outlet angles for the restrictor valve and the height of the baffle located in the stabilizing chamber, we can came to a conclusion after using CFD software that it is the optimal value when the inlet angle for throttle is 14 degree, the outlet angle is 22 degree and the height of the baffle is 10mm, the intake unevenness of each cylinder is 1.4%, and the total intake air is increased by 5.5%.

The spectral theory of differential operators is one of the basic problems of differential operator theory. It has been an important tool in quantum mechanics and other fields. For the Sturm-Liouville Problems with weighted functions, the spectral theory of right-definite problems with self-adjoint boundary condition has been accomplished. But the spectral structure of indefinite problems, is quite different from and more complicated than that of right-definite problems. Compare with second order case, much less known for the fourth order indefinite differential operators. The present paper discusses a class of fourth order discontinuous differential operators. We obtained the estimate on the non-real eigenvalues, under separated boundary condition and the condition that weighted functions change signs for only once or any times.

Because of the advantages of small installation space, good cavitation performance, low cost and easy maintenance, the open channel pump station is widely used in agricultural production, flood control and ecological construction. In the process of operation, large-scale vortices such as wall vortex, bottom vortex and surface vortex easily appear. Under special working conditions, the head and efficiency of the pump station will be reduced, cavitation will occur at the blades, shafting will move, and the unit will vibrate, which will reduce the service life and safety of the pump station. In this paper, the head, efficiency, flow characteristic and free surface vortex of a mixed flow pump device model in pumping station under different water level and flowrates are studied numerically and experimentally, providing experience and theoretical reference for the design of the pumping station.

In this paper, the Eulerian model and Mixture model are used to study the free surface, internal flow and mass transfer in the aeration tank. The two multiphase models affect the liquid velocity, internal flow and oxygen mass transfer coefficient (kLa) of the tank. Eulerian model than the Mixture model significantly higher simulates the liquid velocity near the impeller, and the range of the main longitudinal circulation vortex is smaller than Mixture model. The error between the simulated kLa of Eulerian model and the experimental value is smaller than Mixture model. The results show that the Eulerian model is more suitable for the simulation of the gas–liquid two-phase flow in the aeration tank.

Although fog harvesting technology was firstly invented in the 1980s, the theoretical research is still in its infancy. To enhance the collection efficiency of fog harvester, lots of work have been done such as surface modification and 3D structure of the fibres of the fog harvester. In this study, based on observation of daily phenomenon, relationships between the angle of crossed fibres of the fog harvester between collection efficiency are discussed. Results show that as the angle of fibres changes, the effective collection rate per unit length of the fibre keeps unchanged, except near the maximum/minimum limits of the angle, where the collection rate drop significantly, caused by clogging according to the experimental observations. It is also found that the existence of fibre node will influence the collecting process of fog harvester, which can explain why harp-like fog harvester performs well in fog collection.

Gas transport and storage mechanism in gas reservoirs with complex pore size distribution play a key role in gas production. In the nano-scale, during the process of density disturbance caused by depressurization development, notable output gas collides with the wall as they convey along the channel. The continuum assumption of fluid flow is therefore invalid, and taking the influence of particles to collide with solid walls into account is necessary. The effective viscosity and slip boundary conditions were introduced in the simulation. Meanwhile, because of the adsorption effect is one of the most important intrinsic properties of shale, the impact of surface adsorption on the solid wall by using Langmuir adsorption kinetics was also involved in our investigation. In this work, a unified LB model was developed for gas multiple transports and surface adsorption in nanopores. In the model, the double distribution function was employed for a coupled bulk flow and gas diffusion model. The model is valid within the range of the continuum regime to the transition regime and has been verified by the analytical solution and the results of some previously published works. The results show that (1) the driven force of the fluid, the combination coefficient of slippage and the Knudsen number of the flow have an impact on the adsorption rate, (2) adsorption effect only directly influence the local small region of the solid surface, and the induced concentration gradient makes the global concentration variation, (3) once acting the surface adsorption on the boundary, the flux falls more significant as Knudsen number increases.

For the problem of the pressure drop loss and the equivalent length calculation of elbows in submarine high pressure pipelines, the flow processes of ultra-high pressure gas in 90° elbows were numerically simulated by the way of CFD. The inner flow area was meshed with structured hexahedral grid, and by means of the numerical solution to deal with the RANS equations closed by RNG k-ε turbulence model, the flow field characteristics inside the pipe was studied, and the pressure distribution was obtained. The calculated results are consistent with the numerical simulation and model experiment results carried out by other scholars. Simulation results show that the total pressure loss of the pipe will be increased greatly due to the partial pressure loss caused by elbows. Besides, the feasibility and availability of simulating the flow characteristics of the ultra-high pressure gas inside the elbows by RNG k-epsilon turbulence model were verified.
