Abstract

In this paper, a three dimension model is built according to real surface cleaner in airport runway rubber mark cleaning vehicle and numerical simulation of this model is carried out using Ansys Fluent software. After comparison and analysis the flow field between high speed rotating waterjet and static waterjet formerly studied by other researchers, the influences of different standoff distance from nozzle outlet to runway surface and rotation speed on rubber mark cleaning effect is simulated and analyzed. Results show the optimal operation parameters for the simulated model and quantitative advices are given for design, manufacture and operation of the airport runway rubber mark cleaning vehicle.
