📢 Just Published! 📢 📌 Study on the open-air NEPE solid propellant fire characteristics: Effect of altitude upon the flame performance through CFD   👉 Key findings: ▶ Construction of a combustion model for NEPE solid propellant at atmospheric pressure shows strong agreement with experimental data. ▶As altitude increases, flame temperature and height decrease due to reduced pressure, indicating incomplete combustion of fuel, particularly aluminum particles. ▶Incomplete combustion in high-altitude settings weakens convective heat transfer, potentially leading to incomplete ignition under specific conditions. ▶Localization of the highest flame temperature descends with altitude due to reduced flame jet flow rate and gas velocity. ▶Fires in high-altitude environments exhibit smaller coverage areas compared to plains. 📖 The article is now available: https://lnkd.in/gXgAN6yr   #SolidPropellant #FireSafety #CFD #FlamePerformance #AltitudeEffect #IndustrialSafety #Research #NEPEPropellant #ComputationalModeling #FireCharacteristics KeAi Publishing

⚡Time Dependent CFD Simulation: Vortex Shedding⚡ Vortex shedding is a phenomenon, when the wind blows across a structural member, vortices are shed alternately from one side to the other, and where alternating low-pressure zones are generated on the downwind side of the structure giving rise to a fluctuating force. This phenomenon is of major importance in engineering design because the alternate formation and shedding of vortices also creates alternating forces, which occur more frequently as the velocity of the flow increases.

💡 #Highcitedpaper #Korea Maritime & Ocean University 🌊 Title: CFD Simulations of the Effect of Equalizing Duct Configurations on Cavitating Flow around a Propeller 🔑 Keywords: computational #fluiddynamics (#CFD); #energy saving equalizing duct; #cavitation; #marine #propeller; #OpenFOAM 🔗 See more: https://lnkd.in/gYARXJmy 📜 Abstract：This study presented the results of a computational study of cavitating flows of a marine propeller with energy saving equalizing ducts. The main purpose of the study was to estimate the cavitating flows around a propeller with a duct, and to investigate the interaction between a duct and a propeller in cavitating flows. The INSEAN E779A propeller was used as a baseline model. Validation studies were conducted for non-cavitating and cavitating flows around a hydrofoil and a propeller. A comparison with the experimental data showed good agreement in terms of sheet cavity patterns and propulsion performances of the propeller. Various duct configurations have been presented, and it was found that a duct in front of the propeller had effects on the propeller’s cavitation and propulsion performance. Higher angles of attack of the duct showed a significant effect on the propeller’s cavitation behavior, especially with a small duct. The small duct lowered the cavitation inception radius with increase in angle of attack of the duct, while the large duct had more effect on the tip cavitation. The propeller with large duct gave higher thrust, however, the higher torque loading affected the propeller efficiency. Overall, it was found that the propeller with small duct provided a higher propeller efficiency.

💡 #Highcitedpaper #Korea Maritime & Ocean University 🌊 Title: Unresolved CFD and DEM Coupled Simulations on Scour around a Subsea Pipeline 🔑 Keywords: #EulerLagrange approach;  #computationalfluiddynamics; #discreteelementmethod; #subsea #pipeline; #scour phenomenon 🔗 More: https://lnkd.in/d6xSfzyq 📜 Abstract：In this paper, numerical studies were carried out on scour around a subsea pipeline. A coupled solver between computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) was selected to simulate fluid flow and particle interactions. To select and validate the numerical model parameters in the solver, angles of repose and incipient motion were simulated. From the validation studies, the selected coefficient of rolling friction with spherical particles could predict the behavior of non-spherical particles. The fluid flow around the subsea pipeline was simulated, and the motion of individual soil particles was tracked. Particle motions were generated by the drag force, due to a high velocity. Three scour development process, such as onset of scour, tunnel erosion, and lee-wake erosion, were studied and discussed. The scour depth evolution showed good agreement with the experimental data. It was confirmed that the selected solver, with numerical model parameters, predicted the scour process around a subsea pipeline well.
