Abstract We have developed a machine learning model, called Hybrid-PINNs (Physics Informed Neural Networks), and applied for fast predictions of transport structures (flow and thermal fields) in the silicon (Si) melt during the Czochralski (Cz) bulk single crystal growth. Si bulk single crystals are mostly grown by the Cz method. For the growth of high-quality Si crystals with this method, it is essential to understand and control these transport structures in the melt. Since the direct observation of such transport fields in the melt during growth is usually impossible, numerical simulations provide a powerful tool for… More >

Abstract The hybrid lattice Boltzmann model [1] for compressible flows uses the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to simulate the flow field and the finite volume scheme for the energy field. It inherits the good numerical stability and low dissipation [2] of LBM and avoids the complexity of solving all governing equations within the LBM framework. However, it still faces three issues. First, for compressible flows, the equilibrium distribution functions must exactly recover third-order moments, but it cannot be achieved for the simple DmQn (m dimensions and n discrete phase velocities) models involving only neighboring nodes [3],… More >

Abstract Industry 4.0 promises to bring significant changes to general additive manufacturing (AM) systems, ushered by the incorporation of digital twin development to capture high-volume data in an integrated and automated way [1]. During this transformation, it is required to develop advanced methods to solve main problems in the large-scale industrial use of AM technology. One of the challenges is how to eliminate or mitigate the structural distortion due to thermal effect during AM processes [2-4]. To reduce the level of distortion, a general hands-on approach is to compensate the geometry based on physical measurements of… More >

Abstract DNS simulations on incompressible flows with high Reynolds number using meshfree methods remain an enduring challenge to be addressed. In the present work, we attempt to use a high-order SPH scheme (TENO-SPH) to make DNS simulations on high Reynolds number flows. To investigate this, several spatial reconstructions are applied under the Riemann-ALE-SPH framework, and their performances are compared. Particularly, the accuracy of SPH is significantly enhanced by WENO and TENO reconstructions. For free surface flows, we implement a Lagrangian TENO-SPH to reproduce these flows at different Reynolds numbers. More importantly, to make DNS simulations, the More >

Abstract The process of perfusion seeding of cells into a porous scaffold represents a pivotal initial stage in the development of tissue-engineered bones. The rheological behavior of the cell suspension plays a crucial role in influencing the transport and distribution of cells within the scaffold. Currently, there is limited understanding of the non-Newtonian rheology of cell suspensions in complex pores which differs significantly from simple channels or linear shear flow. In this study, we utilize our previously developed mesoscopic model of perfusion cell seeding to investigate the rheological behavior of cell suspensions at the cellular scale. More >

Abstract Cavity closed with a thin plate is a common structure in aircrafts, such as landing gear compartments and skin skeletons. The plate undergoing aerodynamic pressure on top is generally vibrating in the amplitude of thickness, which will induce an acoustic pressure in the cavity underneath and it will further affect the panel response. Considering both aerodynamic and acoustic pressure on the panel, there will be an interest to investigate the aero-acoustic-structure coupling mechanism and the aeroacoustoelastic response of the plate. Von Karman plate theory, piston theory and two-dimensional partial differential acoustic equation are employed for… More >

Abstract In the future, the wide speed and altitude range aviation engine will have features such as "wide range of high-bypass-ratio adjustment" and "wide range of high-pressure-ratio adjustment". Therefore, its turbine will work in a very wide range of operating conditions, with a large flow regulation range. Under conditions of high-rate flow regulation, existing flow control technologies can significantly reduce turbine efficiency. To support the performance and technical specifications of future engines, their low-pressure turbines need to maintain high operational efficiency within a flow regulation range and power output range that exceed those of current aircraft engines.

Abstract Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) technology was employed to fabricate internal structures within the hollow interiors of rotating parts, such as tubes and cylinders. A three-dimensional transient multiphysics model for C276 material was developed, which anticipated the impact of angular velocity from tube rotation on various aspects. This model, validated by experiments, focused on the melt pool morphology, Marangoni convection, oriented crystal microevolution, and deposited material microhardness. It was found that at 150 ms deposition, the dimensions of the melt pool stabilized. With an increase in the Peclet number, heat transfer within the melt pool… More >

Abstract Granular and columnar sea ice formed random pores containing gas and brine while growing in a polar environment. Building an appropriate microstructure of sea ice model to reveal its material singularities using standard methods is difficult. In this study, we develop a porous sea ice model based on coupled thermos-mechanical peridynamics [1-3] by considering the fluid flow and material transport in pores. The novel features of using the porous sea ice peridynamic model are as follows: (1) To establish the porous sea ice model, the sea ice pore equation is combined with the peridynamic equations.

Abstract This study investigates the interactions between droplets and bubbles within water-in-oil (O/W) and oil-in-water (W/O) systems, a fundamental problem of bubble dynamics in binary immiscible fluid systems. Considering the density ratio between the two fluids and the bubble-to-droplet size ratio, we have refined the classical spherical bubble pulsation equation, Rayleigh collapse time, and the natural frequency. In our experimental study, we found that the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability hardly develops on the surface of the droplet when the densities of the two liquids are comparable. This phenomenon is explained using the classic theory of spherical RT More >
