Octree-generated virtual mesh for improved contact resolution in CFD-Dem coupling
Studeník, O.; Kotouč Šourek, M.; Isoz, Martin
2022 - English
The present work is focused on improving the efficiency of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) – discrete element method (DEM) solver allowing for computations with non-spherical solids. In general, the combination of CFD and DEM allows for simulations of freely moving solid particles within a computational domain containing fluid. The standard approach of CFD-DEM solvers is to approximate solid bodies by spheres, the geometry of which can be fully defined via its radius and center position. Consequently, the standard DEM contact models are based on an overlap depth between particles, which can be easily evaluated for a sphere-sphere contact. However, for a contact between two non-spherical particles, the overlap depth cannot be used and has to be replaced by the more general overlap volume. The precision of the overlap volume computation is (i) crucial for the correct evaluation of contact forces, and (ii) directly dependent on the computational mesh resolution. Still, the contact volume evaluation in DEM for arbitrarily shaped bodies is usually by at least one order of magnitude more demanding on the mesh resolution than the CFD. In order to improve the computational efficiency of our CFD-DEM solver, we introduce the concept of an OCTREEbased virtual mesh, in which the DEM spatial discretization is adaptively refined while the CFD mesh remains unchanged.

Numerical simulations of aeroelastic instabilities in turbine blade cascade by modified Van der Pol model at running excitation
Pešek, Luděk; Šnábl, Pavel; Prasad, Chandra Shekhar; Delanney, Y.
2022 - English
Apart from rotary test rig for evaluation of structural dynamics of the bladed wheels, the control flutter experiments has been performed on the linear cascade model in the subsonic wind tunnel in the Institute of Thermomechanics, of CAS, in Prague. These experiments are aimed at stability evaluation of the cascade at running waves or at stability limit testing by flow speed changes or by force impulses of blades. The onset of flutter and its spreading in the cascade are observed, too. The linear cascade model consists of five NACA010 blades. All the blades can be separately excited with electromagnetic torque excitation mechanism and all of them are instrumented to measure the aerodynamic moments which can be used to calculate the aerodynamic work. A more details about the linear blade cascade experimental set up can be found in [1-2]. To predict a dynamic behaviour in the blade cascade, we have been dealing with simplified theoretical modelling of the aeroelastic instability in turbine blade cascade [3-5]. Due to the application of the reduced cascade model consisting of simple elements – springs, rigid bodies, linear dampers – and aeroelastic forces introduced by analytical Van der Pol model, it facilitates to study the dangerous states of vibration of such complicated turbine parts [6-9]. This study is aimed at examination of aeroelastic instabilities of 10-blade cascade at running excitation that arises due to the wakes flowing from stator the blades to the rotating blades. They cause forced excitation in the narrow frequency range.

Měření fotokatalytické účinnosti nátěru fn nano®2 na modelu ulice Legerova
Nosek, Štěpán
2022 - Czech
Metodou fyzikálního modelování byl v aerodynamickém tunelu ÚT AV ČR v Novém Kníně úspěšně uskutečněn experiment simulující odbourávání zdraví nebezpečného polutantu (NOX) fotokatalýzou na povrchu ošetřeném aktivním nátěrem FN NANO®2 uvnitř modelu městského uličního kaňonu. Za kontrolovaných podmínek (stejný směr a střední rychlost nabíhajícího větru, neutrální stratifikace atmosféry) byl simulován případ znečištění modelu ulice Legerova nabíhající mezní vrstvou. Nabíhající mezní vrstva byla znečištěna koncentracemi NOX (tedy směsí NO a NO2) z automobilu.\nExperiment prokázal vyšší účinnost odbourávání NO (až 15 %) než NOX (max. 12 %), přičemž byla prokázána závislost účinnosti odbourávání na studované pozici. Nejnižší účinnosti bylo dosaženo v ulicích orientovaných paralelně s nabíhající mezní vrstvou. Tyto ulice jsou nicméně přirozeně lépe větrány. \n An experiment was conducted to test the effectiveness of the FN NANO®2 coating in removing a pollutant (NOX) by photocatalysis on a surface in a model of a real urban street canyon. The experiment was conducted in a wind tunnel under controlled conditions and simulated the case of pollution of a Legerova street model by an upwind boundary layer polluted by NOX concentrations from a car. The results showed that the coating has a higher degradation efficiency for NO (up to 15%) than for NOX (max. 12%), with the efficiency depending on the investigated position. The lowest efficiency was achieved in streets aligned parallel to the upwind boundary layer, which are naturally better ventilated.

Experimental investigation of homogeneous nucleation of water in various gases using an expansion chamber
Lukianova, Tetiana; Lukianov, Mykola; Hrubý, Jan
2022 - English
Nucleation is an integral part of phase transitions and plays an important role in technology. The control of nucleation in devices such as turbines, rocket and jet engines, wind tunnels, and combustion processes is key to achieving efficient, ecologically sound operation. Our paper presents information about a modernized experimental setup used for homogeneous water nucleation research.\nThe main goal of the study is an analysis of the influence of carrier gas on homogeneous nucleation.The experimental setup based on an expansion chamber has been used for research of homogeneous nucleation over several decades and has undergone various technical improvements. In the Institute of Thermomechanics, the setup was been completely disassembled and cleaned. Pressure transducers, laser, and the data acquisition system have been replaced with modern parts. After that, the chamber was assembled, and thoroughly tested and calibrated.Our investigations were carried with argon and nitrogen as carrier gases in a range of nucleation temperatures 220 – 260 K, pressure range 80-150 kPa, at several concentrations of water vapour. The results thus obtained are consistent with literature data.The findings suggest that this experimental approach is useful for homogeneous water nucleation research.

Aminian, Ali; Vinš, Václav
2022 - English
The technical report provides a survey on the current status of hydrocarbons, with special focus on propane (R290), used as natural refrigerants in air‐conditioning units and heat pumps. Due to the\nexpected phase‐down of halogenated refrigerants planned in the regulation of the European Parliament no. 2022/0099/COD, alternatives such as hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide or ammonia are\nmost probably to be used in EU in the near future. A review of recent developments of HVAC units for residential use and for electric vehicles operated with natural refrigerants is presented.

Two-way fluid structure interaction study of aero-engine compressor blade vibration under air excitation
Mekhalfia, Mohammed Lamine; Procházka, Pavel; Tchawou Tchuisseu, Eder Batista; Maturkanič, Dušan; Hodboď, Robert
2022 - English
In this paper, we provide a numerical method via FEM software (ANSYS) using two-way Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) solver to estimate the blade’s vibration where the force used to excitation is a continuous air jet. This will help to provide data to diagnostic blade condition and health monitoring and a bridge toward a precise study of the blade’s dynamic under rotation and the estimation of blade’s displacement to define the amplitude and the frequency that occurs under different types of excitation which is a pillar for the process of machine condition and health monitoring.

Developing a coupled CFD solver for mass, momentum and heat transport in catalytic filters
Hlavatý, Tomáš; Isoz, Martin; Kočí, P.
2022 - English
Using catalytic filters (CF) in automotive exhaust gas aftertreatment decreases the system heat losses and facilitates the CF regeneration. On the other hand, the CF overall performance is strongly dependent on the catalytic material distribution within it. In the present work, we aim to provide a computational framework to study the dependence of the CF characteristics, i.e. the pressure loss and the conversion of gaseous pollutants, on the catalyst distribution. Previously, we built an isothermal computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the flow and conversion of gaseous pollutants inside the CF. However, the reactions occurring inside the CF are exothermic and the assumption of constant temperature proved to be too restricting for real-life applications of the developed isothermal CFD model. Thus, in this work, we extend the framework by the enthalpy balance, which requires combining all the transport equations (mass, momentum and enthalpy) in a single solver. The new and more general solver provides results in good agreement with a well established (1+1)D channel model calibrated on experimental data. Furthermore, it allows studying more complex device-scale geometries of laboratory CF samples.
