Latest ArticlesAiming at the problem of the impact of center body position on nozzle cavitation intensity and flow morphology,
based on the CFD-Fluent, the Mixture multiphase model is employed, the k-ε turbulence model, and the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model, numerical simulations are performed for nozzle flow fields with varying center body positions. The validity and reliability of the methodology are confirmed through comparison with prior research results.
The nonlinear regulatory effect of the center body's axial position on the internal flow field and cavitation intensity within the nozzle is systematically quantified. It clearly identified the junction of the nozzle throat and diffuser section as the optimal position most prone to triggering cavitation effects. Cavitation intensity and mass transfer rate peaked when the center body is located at this position. Cavitation is absent on the center body when positioned inside the nozzle. When center body located outside the nozzle, the downstream extent of the cavitation zone changed minimally, and cavitation intensity gradually diminished as the center body moved further downstream. Furthermore, based on the large eddy simulation (LES) method, an in-depth analyze the complex unsteady flow structures and large-scale radial diffusion characteristics of the vapor phase downstream of the nozzle under the optimal cavitation position condition is further conducted. Significant unsteady features are observed at a location 10 nozzle diameters (10D) downstream, where the vapor phase distribution expanded radially to four times the nozzle diameter (4D).
The research clarifies the regulatory mechanism of center body position on cavitation intensity, providing a theoretical basis for optimizing cavitating nozzle design. The findings contribute to enhancing the efficiency of industrial processes reliant on cavitation, such as cleaning and fragmentation, and offer theoretical support for developing adjustable center body structures to enable real-time control of cavitation intensity.
In order to study the potential application of the diesel fuel direct coal liquefaction diesel (DDCL) and polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODE) mixed fuel in marine diesel engines,
the volume of fluid (VOF) method is adopted to simulate and study the influence of different fuels, nozzle hole conical and the angle between the nozzle hole and the needle valve axis on the cavitation flow in the nozzle.
The results show that the cavitation intensity in the nozzle hole with a larger angle between the needle valve axis is greater, while there is no obvious cavitation in the nozzle hole with an angle less than 60°. The gradually converging nozzle hole can effectively suppress cavitation and has good flowability and low turbulence intensity. With the increase of PODE content, the density of the mixed fuel increases, the cavitation, turbulence intensity and flow loss in the nozzle hole decrease, and the effective flow area increases. The mass flow rate of DDCL is lower than that of petrochemical diesel. After blending the same volume of PODE, the mass flow rate of the former increases by 6.2% and is higher than that of petrochemical diesel.
The blended fuel of PODE-coal direct liquefaction diesel can reduce the internal flow loss of nozzle orifices, improve the flow performance of the orifices, and increase the mass flow rate.
Aiming at the problem of unstable bus voltage output caused by Marine condition disturbance switching during the operation of ship direct current (DC) microgrid photovoltaic power generation units,
a photovoltaic power generation control strategy based on double integral sliding mode controller is proposed, including establishing an engineering model of photovoltaic cells and adopting a new exponential approach law and hyperbolic tangent switching function.
Simulation verification shows that the controller shortens the startup time to 0.002 s, reduces the overshoot to 2%, and effectively eliminates the steady-state error. Compared with traditional proportional-integral (PI) control, the startup time is reduced by 67% and the ability to resist load disturbances is enhanced by 41.2%.
The strategy significantly enhances the dynamic response speed and robustness, and is applicable to the dynamic working conditions of ships, addressing the shortcomings of traditional control methods under sudden light changes and load disturbances.
