Markovian–Octant analysis based stable turbulent shear stresses in near-bed bursting phenomena of vortex settling chamber

The coherent structure in near-bed turbulent boundary layer of vortex chamber, particularly the bursting events and their associated shear stresses play the main role in sediment flushing process and consequently the trap efficiency of the vortex settling chamber. Hence, three-dimensional velocity measurements were made at 48 points near the bed of physical model of vortex chamber by using Micro-ADV. The pattern of sediment deposition at the bed of vortex settling chamber reveals three separate regions formed by three predominant currents of inlet flow, flushing flow and outlet over flow. Additionally, due to the instability and three-dimensional nature of the bursting events near the bed of chamber, the new method of Markovian–Octant analysis was applied to study the different classes of near-bed stable shear stresses of vortex chamber in three dimensions. Moreover, the role of each class of stable shear stresses on Sediment transport mechanism at the bed of vortex chamber is investigated.     

Numerical investigation of effects on premixed hydrogen/air flame propagation in pipes with different contraction or expansion angles

Numerical simulations of premixed hydrogen-air flame propagation in a pipe with different contraction or expansion angles are carried out in this study. The effects on the flame propagation characteristics are investigated, including flame shape, the speed of flame front and overpressure. Results show that the flame propagation at different contraction angles experiences 6 flame stages: spherical flame stage, finger-shaped flame stage, stage of flame front touching the sidewalls, classic tulip flame stage, dissipation stage of tulip flame and its re-formation stage. The formation of tulip flame and the following stages are promoted by the contraction structure. Meanwhile, the development of the flow and pressure fields near the contraction are analyzed and it is found that the paraclinical effects induced by the contraction angle enhance the tulip re-formation. In the sudden expansion pipes, a triple flame stage appears in the pipes. The flame front remains relatively static for a period of time. However, the flame would continue to propagate when the expansion angle becomes larger and the flame propagation distance in the ducts increased obviously with the larger expansion angle. Baroclinic effect can inhibit the intensity of the vortex in the flow field, and hence weaken the forward transport of fuel. This inhibit effects decrease with the expansion angle becomes larger. The results of this study have implications concerning designs for pipe geometry of hydrogen and may help get better hydrogen transportation.
