    Jin Yang1,2, Hailong Zhao1, Jingyi Zeng1, Ying Su1,2, Mengdi Zhu1, Xingyang He1,2,*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.10, pp. 2163-2181, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.055448 - 23 September 2024

    Abstract To achieve higher strength and better durability, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) typically employs a relatively small water-binder ratio. However, this generally leads to an undesired increase in the paste viscosity. In this study, the effects of liquid and powder polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCE) on UHPC are compared and critically discussed. Moreover, the following influential factors are considered: air-entraining agents (AE), slump retaining agents (SA), and defoaming agents (DF) and the resulting flow characteristics, mechanical properties, and hydration properties are evaluated assuming UHPC containing 8‰ powder PCE (PCE-based UHPC). It is found that the spread diameter of… More >

    High-Order DG Schemes with Subcell Limiting Strategies for Simulations of Shocks, Vortices and Sound Waves in Materials Science Problems

    Zhenhua Jiang1,*, Xi Deng2,3, Xin Zhang1, Chao Yan1, Feng Xiao4, Jian Yu1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.10, pp. 2183-2204, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.053231 - 23 September 2024

    Abstract Shock waves, characterized by abrupt changes in pressure, temperature, and density, play a significant role in various materials science processes involving fluids. These high-energy phenomena are utilized across multiple fields and applications to achieve unique material properties and facilitate advanced manufacturing techniques. Accurate simulations of these phenomena require numerical schemes that can represent shock waves without spurious oscillations and simultaneously capture acoustic waves for a wide range of wavelength scales. This work suggests a high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method with a finite volume (FV) subcell limiting strategies to achieve better subcell resolution and lower numerical More >

    Deqing Han, Yong Zeng*, Jintong Gu, Bin Yan

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.10, pp. 2393-2415, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.053114 - 23 September 2024

    Abstract To accurately predict the film thickness distribution during dynamic spraying performed with air guns and support accordingly the development of intelligent spray painting, the spray problem was analyzed numerically. In particular, the Eulerian-Eulerian approach was employed to calculate the paint atomization and film deposition process. Different spray heights, spray angles, spray gun movement speeds, spray trajectory curvature radii, and air pressure values were considered. Numerical simulation results indicate that the angle of spray painting significantly affects the velocity of droplets near the spray surface. With an increase in the spraying angle, spraying height and spray… More >

    Numerical Simulations of Snow Accumulation in the Bogie Region of a Train Considering Snow Particle Rotation

    Hong Lan1,3, Jiye Zhang1,*, Yao Zhang1, Lu Cai2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.10, pp. 2337-2352, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.052609 - 23 September 2024

    Abstract To investigate the influence of snow particle rotational motion on the accumulation of snow in the bogie region of high-speed trains, an Euler‒Lagrange numerical approach is adopted. The study examines the effects of snow particle diameter and train speed on the ensuing dynamics. It is shown that considering snow particle rotational motion causes significant deviation in the particle trajectories with respect to non-rotating particles. Such a deviation increases with larger snow particle diameters and higher train speeds. The snow accumulation on the overall surface of the bogie increases, and the amount of snow on the More >

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.10, pp. 2219-2234, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.052445 - 23 September 2024

    Abstract Tannin foam is a new functional material. It can be widely applied to the automobile industry, construction industry, and packaging industry due to its wide range of raw materials, renewable, easily degraded, low cost and almost no pollution. Preparing tannin foam is a very complex process that includes high temperature, two phases, mechanical agitation, and phase change. To investigate the influence of the stirring velocity and paddle shape, simulation was calculated by making use of the volume of fluid (VOF) method and multiple reference frame (MRF) method in a three-dimensional flow field of tannin-based foaming… More > Graphic Abstract

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.10, pp. 2281-2300, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.051594 - 23 September 2024

    Abstract Continental shale oil reservoirs, characterized by numerous bedding planes and micro-nano scale pores, feature significantly higher stress sensitivity compared to other types of reservoirs. However, research on suitable stress sensitivity characterization models is still limited. In this study, three commonly used stress sensitivity models for shale oil reservoirs were considered, and experiments on representative core samples were conducted. By fitting and comparing the data, the “exponential model” was identified as a characterization model that accurately represents stress sensitivity in continental shale oil reservoirs. To validate the accuracy of the model, a two-phase seepage mathematical model More >
