曝气条件下应用型氧化沟内混合液流态测试及分析

从氧化沟的水力特性入手,实测并分析了混合液在应用型氧化沟内的流态分布特点。结果表明,在曝气机不同的旋转条件下,混合液液流在氧化沟内的流态分布规律具有较高的相似性,上部液流经曝气机加速作用,流速在短时间内急剧增加,而下部液流速度变化不明显,液流随之在沟体内进行流速均布,在返回第一直道时不同水深和内外侧流速已基本达到一致;混合液液流除了受到曝气机的推动力作用外,还受到沟体沿程阻力及弯道局部阻力的作用,导流板对混合液流态也产生了影响;在1.56m水位、120r/min逆时针转动条件下,第一直道末端下部液层内侧与中侧的流速较低,成为沟底污泥淤积的危险区;当转速为100r/min时,能保证氧化沟底混合液流速不小于0.15m/s;在1.56m水位、80r/min顺时针转动条件下,能保证氧化沟底混合液流速不小于0.15m/s。在实际运行中,只有将曝气设备调节到适合的转速才能有效防止污泥在氧化沟沟底沉积。同时,在保证沟底混合液流速满足要求时,为节省动能损耗,还应选择较低的曝气机转速。

Experimental analysis of particle concentration heterogeneity in a ventilated scale chamber

The mixing processes of the aerosol particles from an outdoor environment in a ventilated scale chamber were experimentally studied. The particles were classified into five groups by size: 0.3–0.5 μm, 0.5–1.0 μm, 1.0–3.0 μm, 3.0–5.0 μm and 5.0–10.0 μm. The developing process for the concentration of each particle group was measured in different kinds of flow fields.The results show that the flow field configuration can effectively influence the dispersion time rate of the particles at certain positions. The increase in particle diameter can decrease the dispersion time rate. When the gas flow velocity is high, the particle dispersion time rate is independent of particle size; but when the gas flow velocity is low, particle size can significantly affect the particle dispersion time rate because the turbulent diffusion becomes important in the air and particle transport. The uniformity of the particle concentration for certain positions in steady state tends to be controlled by the inflow velocity, flow field configuration and the particle diameters.

Influence of particle location on the number of charges per charged nanoparticle at the outlet of a needle charger

This study has investigated numerically the influence of particle location on the number of charges per charged particle in the 10-40 nm size range at the outlet of a needle charger by simulating flow field, electric field, particle charging, and particle trajectory at various conditions. The results show that the total (i.e., diffusion + field charging) number of charges per particle increase with decreasing ratio values of radial location at the outlet of the charger due to the particle position close to the needle tip. It has also been shown that in the outlet region of the charger there is a critical radial location at which the number of charges per particle is a maximum; this critical radial location represents the point at which the charged particle trajectory becomes closest to the needle electrode. The maximum value of number of charges increases with increasing Reynolds number and slightly increases with decreasing applied voltage for particle diameter larger than 20 nm. The maximum number of charges per charged nanoparticle increases with increasing particle diameter. In addition, the minimum ratio value of radial particle location decreases with increasing Reynolds number for various particle diameters.

Implications: In this work, the influence of particle location on the number of charges per charged nanoparticle at the outlet of a needle charger has been investigated using numerical models under different conditions. The results demonstrate that the radial location affects the number of charges per particle at the outlet of the charger. The maximum number of charges increases with increasing particle diameter, and the minimum ratio value of radial particle location decreases with increasing Reynolds number. The numerical models explain and quantify the number of charges on the charged particle in the 10–40 nm size range from the outlet of the needle charger at various conditions.     

A multi-flowpath model for the interpretation of immiscible displacement experiments in heterogeneous soil columns

This work focuses on the phenomenon of the immiscible two-phase flow of water and oil in saturated heterogeneous soil columns. The goal is to develop a fast and reliable method for quantifying soil heterogeneities for incorporation into the relevant capillary pressure and relative permeability functions. Such data are commonly used as input data in simulators of contaminant transport in the subsurface. Rate-controlled drainage experiments are performed on undisturbed soil columns and the transient response of the axial distribution of water saturation is determined from electrical measurements. The transient responses of the axial distribution of water saturation and total pressure drop are fitted with the multi-flowpath model (MFPM) where the pore space is regarded as a system of parallel paths of different permeability. The MFPM enables us to quantify soil heterogeneity at two scales: the micro-scale parameters describe on average the effects of pore network heterogeneities on the two-phase flow pattern; the macro-scale parameters indicate the variability of permeability at the scale of interconnected pore networks. The capillary pressure curve is consistent with that measured with mercury intrusion porosimetry over the low pressure range. The oil relative permeability increases sharply at a very low oil saturation (< 10^− 3) and tends to a high end value. The water relative permeability decreases abruptly at a low oil saturation (~ 0.1), whereas the irreducible wetting phase saturation is quite high. The foregoing characteristics of the two-phase flow properties are associated with critical (preferential) flowpaths that comprise a very small percentage of the total pore volume, control the overall hydraulic conductivity, and are consistent with the very broad range of pore-length scales usually probed in soil porous matrix.     

Optimum design of the entrance of a fishpond laterally to the main stream of an open channel

In this study, the optimum design of the entrance of a fishpond laterally to the main flow of an open channel was investigated numerically and experimentally. The flow characteristic measurements were realized with the PIV (particle image velocimetry) method. The mathematical simulations were based on the development of a two dimensional -mean in depthhydrodynamic model and a quasi three dimensional sediment transport model which includes processes of advection, diffusion, and settling of conservative suspended matter. The study was completed with the comparison of the final results of the mathematical models with the findings of the physical model revealing the hydrodynamic interaction and coupling between the main flow of the channel and the lateral reservoir—fishpond and leading to the optimum technical design of the system.     

Modelling radionuclide transport for time varying flow in a channel network

Water flowrates and flow directions may change over time in the subsurface for a number of reasons. In fractured rocks flow takes place in channels within fractures. Solutes are carried by the advective flow. In addition, solutes may diffuse in and out of stagnant waters in the rock matrix and other stagnant water regions. Sorbing species may sorb on fracture surfaces and on the micropore surfaces in the rock matrix. We present a method by which solute particles can be traced in flowing water undergoing changes in flowrate and direction in a complex channel network where the solutes can also interact with the rock by diffusion in the rock matrix. The novelty of this paper is handling of diffusion in the rock matrix under transient flow conditions. The diffusive processes are stochastic and it is not possible to follow a particle deterministically. The method therefore utilises the properties of a probability distribution function for a tracer moving in a fracture where matrix diffusion is active. The method is incorporated in a three dimensional channel network model. Particle tracking is used to trace out a multitude of flowpaths, each of which consists of a large number of channels within fractures. Along each channel the aperture and velocity as well as the matrix sorption properties can vary. An efficient method is presented whereby a particle can be followed along the variable property flowpath. For stationary flow conditions and a network of channels with advective flow and matrix diffusion, a simple analytical solution for the residence time distribution along each pathway can be used. Only two parameter groups need to be integrated along each path. For transient flow conditions, a time stepping procedure that incorporates a stochastic Monte-Carlo like method to follow the particles along the paths when flow conditions change is used. The method is fast and an example is used for illustrative purposes. It is exemplified by a case where land rises due to glacial rebound. It is shown that the effects of changing flowrates and directions can be considerable and that the diffusive migration in the matrix can have a dominating effect on the results.
