Article Abstract

In recent years, the flow characteristics research of the interstage region in counter-rotating axial fans in terms of fluid dynamics has attracted much attention. Especially, the dynamic relationship between interstage pressure pulsation and blade vibration in counter-rotating axial fans has not yet been clarified. This paper performs the signal processing method of wavelet decomposition and reconstruction in time-frequency analysis process. Under different flow conditions, weak-coupling numerical simulation program is employed to analyze the fluid-structure coupling interaction between interstage pressure pulsations and blade vibrations in counter-rotating axial fans. The results indicate that the fluid-structure coupling interaction field in the interstage of counter-rotating axial fans mainly excites the first-order vibration of the second-stage blade. At the same time, the consistency between the pulsation frequency and the vibration frequency of the airflow reflects the good coupling property. Two stage blades cut the airflow to cause field changes and airflow pulsation, and then, airflow pulsation causes blades deformation and produces vibrations of the same frequency at the blade. The deformation of the blades, in turn, causes the flow field changes. Rotating stall, vortex movement and breakdown produced low-frequency airflow pulsation and vortex vibration of the blade.

As the global demand for energy conservation increases, achieving efficient energy conversion in fans has become a significant challenge in the field of mine ventilation. To investigate the influence of the blade installation angle distribution in the spanwise direction on the energy characteristics of mining counter-rotating axial flow fan, three blade optimization schemes were proposed in this paper. The internal flow field of the fan was obtained by numerical simulation and experimental methods.

Direct energy conversion systems, such as thermophotovoltaic and thermoelectric generators, have received increasing attention in micro power generation. Micro and meso-scale combustors are one of the most core components in these systems. So, developing combustion stabilization technologies for micro or meso-scale combustors is of great importance.

The large-scale laminar/turbulent spiral patterns that appear in the linearly unstable regime of counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow are investigated from a statistical perspective by means of direct numerical simulation. Unlike the vast majority of previous numerical studies, we analyse the flow in periodic parallelogram-annular domains, following a coordinate change that aligns one of the parallelogram sides with the spiral pattern. The domain size, shape and spatial resolution have been varied and the results compared with those in a sufficiently large computational orthogonal domain with natural axial and azimuthal periodicity.

In this study, we discuss the observed flow regimes in Taylor-Couette flow of radius ratio [Formula: see text] for various Reynolds numbers up to [Formula: see text]. We investigate the flow using a visualization method. The flow states in the centrifugally unstable flow are investigated in the case of counter-rotating cylinders and pure inner cylinder rotation.

In this study, the non-linear dynamics of Taylor-Couette flow in a very small-aspect-ratio wide-gap annulus in a counter-rotating regime under the influence of radial through-flow are investigated by solving its full three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Depending on the intensity of the radial flow, either an axisymmetric (pure [Formula: see text] mode) pulsating flow structure or an axisymmetric axially propagating vortex will appear subcritical, i.e.
