    Influence of Flap Parameters on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Wind-Turbine Airfoil

    Yuanjun Dai1,2, Jingan Cui1, Baohua Li1,*, Cong Wang1, Kunju Shi1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 771-786, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.029584

    Abstract A numerical method has been used to analyze the flow field related to a NACA 0015 airfoil with and without a flap and assess the influence of the flap height and angle on the surface pressure coefficient, lift coefficient, and drag coefficient. The numerical results demonstrate that the flap can effectively improve the lift coefficient of the airfoil; however, at small attack angles, its influence is significantly reduced. When the angle of attack exceeds the critical stall angle and the flap height is 1.5% of the chord length, the influence of the flap becomes very evident. As the flap height… More >

    An Investigation into the Compressive Strength, Permeability and Microstructure of Quartzite-Rock-Sand Mortar

    Wei Chen*, Wuwen Liu, Yue Liang

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 859-872, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.029310

    Abstract River sand is an essential component used as a fine aggregate in mortar and concrete. Due to unrestrained exploitation, river sand resources are gradually being exhausted. This requires alternative solutions. This study deals with the properties of cement mortar containing different levels of manufactured sand (MS) based on quartzite, used to replace river sand. The river sand was replaced at 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% with MS (by weight or volume). The mechanical properties, transfer properties, and microstructure were examined and compared to a control group to study the impact of the replacement level. The results indicate that the compressive… More >

    On the Preparation of Low-Temperature-Rise and Low-Shrinkage Concrete Based on Phosphorus Slag

    Jianlong Jin, Jingjing Ding, Long Xiong, Ming Bao, Peng Zeng*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 803-814, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.027311

    Abstract The effects of different contents of a MgO expansive agent and phosphorus slag on the mechanical properties, shrinkage behavior, and the heat of hydration of concrete were studied. The slump flow, setting time, dry shrinkage, and hydration heat were used as sensitive parameters to assess the response of the considered specimens. As shown by the results, in general, with an increase in the phosphorus slag content, the hydration heat of concrete decreases for all ages, but the early strength displays a downward trend and the dry shrinkage rate increases. The 90-d strength and dry shrinkage of concrete could be improved… More > Graphic Abstract

    The Turbulent Schmidt Number for Transient Contaminant Dispersion in a Large Ventilated Room Using a Realizable k-ε Model

    Fei Wang, Qinpeng Meng, Jinchi Zhao, Xin Wang, Yuhong Liu, Qianru Zhang*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 829-846, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.026917

    Abstract Buildings with large open spaces in which chemicals are handled are often exposed to the risk of explosions. Computational fluid dynamics is a useful and convenient way to investigate contaminant dispersion in such large spaces. The turbulent Schmidt number (Sct) concept has typically been used in this regard, and most studies have adopted a default value. We studied the concentration distribution for sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) assuming different emission rates and considering the effect of Sct. Then we examined the same problem for a light gas by assuming hydrogen gas (H2) as the contaminant. When SF6 was considered as the contaminant… More >

    A Transient-Pressure-Based Numerical Approach for Interlayer Identification in Sand Reservoirs

    Hao Luo1, Haibo Deng1, Honglin Xiao1, Shaoyang Geng2,*, Fu Hou1, Gang Luo1, Yaqi Li2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.3, pp. 641-659, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.043565

    Abstract Almost all sandstone reservoirs contain interlayers. The identification and characterization of these interlayers is critical for minimizing the uncertainty associated with oilfield development and improving oil and gas recovery. Identifying interlayers outside wells using identification methods based on logging data and machine learning is difficult and seismic-based identification techniques are expensive. Herein, a numerical model based on seepage and well-testing theories is introduced to identify interlayers using transient pressure data. The proposed model relies on the open-source MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox. The effects of the interlayer thickness, position, and width on the pressure response are thoroughly investigated. A procedure for… More >

    Abstract In this study, we focus on the numerical modelling of the interaction between waves and submerged structures in the presence of a uniform flow current. Both the same and opposite senses of wave propagation are considered. The main objective is an understanding of the effect of the current and various geometrical parameters on the reflection coefficient. The wave used in the study is based on potential theory, and the submerged structures consist of two rectangular breakwaters positioned at a fixed distance from each other and attached to the bottom of a wave flume. The numerical modeling approach employed in this… More >

    Zongjun Yin*, Rong Su, Hui Xu

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.3, pp. 487-504, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.042631

    Abstract In this study, numerical simulations of the pinching-off phenomena displayed by the dispersed phase in a continuous phase have been conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics (level-set method). Four flow patterns, namely “drop flow”, “jet flow”, “squeeze flow”, and “co-flow”, have been obtained for different flow velocity ratios, channel diameter ratios, density ratios, viscosity ratios, and surface tension. The flow pattern map of two-phase flow in coaxial microchannels has been obtained accordingly, and the associated droplet generation process has been critically discussed considering the related frequency, diameter, and pinch-off length. In particular, it is shown that the larger the flow velocity ratio,… More > Graphic Abstract

    Zhoujie Zhu1, Gang Wang1, Qingquan Liu1, Guojun Wang2, Rui Dong2, Dayong Zhang2,3,*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.3, pp. 625-639, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.042128

    Abstract Important challenges must be addressed to make wind turbines sustainable renewable energy sources. A typical problem concerns the design of the foundation. If the pile diameter is larger than that of the jacket platform, traditional mechanical models cannot be used. In this study, relying on the seabed soil data of an offshore wind farm, the m-method and the equivalent embedded method are used to address the single-pile wind turbine foundation problem for different pile diameters. An approach to determine the equivalent pile length is also proposed accordingly. The results provide evidence for the effectiveness and reliability of the model based… More >

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.3, pp. 595-607, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.041962

    Abstract Ultra-low permeability reservoirs are characterized by small pore throats and poor physical properties, which are at the root of well-known problems related to injection and production. In this study, a gas injection flooding approach is analyzed in the framework of numerical simulations. In particular, the sequence and timing of fracture channeling and the related impact on production are considered for horizontal wells with different fracture morphologies. Useful data and information are provided about the regulation of gas channeling and possible strategies to delay gas channeling and optimize the gas injection volume and fracture parameters. It is shown that in order… More >
