    Application of Isogeometric Analysis Method in Three-Dimensional Gear Contact Analysis

    Long Chen1, Yan Yu1, Yanpeng Shang1, Zhonghou Wang1,*, Jing Zhang2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 817-846, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.031595

    Abstract Gears are pivotal in mechanical drives, and gear contact analysis is a typically difficult problem to solve. Emerging isogeometric analysis (IGA) methods have developed new ideas to solve this problem. In this paper, a three-dimensional body parametric gear model of IGA is established, and a theoretical formula is derived to realize single-tooth contact analysis. Results were benchmarked against those obtained from commercial software utilizing the finite element analysis (FEA) method to validate the accuracy of our approach. Our findings indicate that the IGA-based contact algorithm successfully met the Hertz contact test. When juxtaposed with the FEA approach, the IGA method… More > Graphic Abstract

    Numerical Simulation of Dust Removal in the Cyclone Collector of a Straw Crusher Based on a Discrete Phase Model

    Zhuang Wu1,2, Chang Su1,2,*, Hua Xu1,2, Liu Wang1,2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.5, pp. 1143-1157, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.022496

    Abstract The cyclone dust collector is an important subsystem of straw crushers used in agriculture. In the present study, a new type of dust collector with involute morphology is proposed to obtain better dust removal efficiency with respect to that of classical tangential and spiral dust collectors. A discrete phase model (DPM) method is used in synergy with a turbulence model, and the SIMPLE algorithm to simulate the flow field inside the dust collector and the related particle dynamics. It is shown that the internal flow field features a primary swirl, a secondary swirl and blockage effects. Moreover, for the involute… More > Graphic Abstract

    A Study on the Unsteady Flow Characteristics and Energy Conversion in the Volute of a Pump-as-Turbine Device

    Senchun Miao1,2,*, Hongbiao Zhang1, Wanglong Tian1, Yinqiang Li2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.17, No.6, pp. 1021-1036, 2021, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2021.016925

    Abstract To study the unsteady flow and related energy conversion process in the volute of a pump-as-turbine (PAT) device, six different working conditions have been considered. Through numerical calculation, the spatio-temporal variation of static pressure, dynamic pressure, total pressure and turbulent energy dissipation have been determined in each section of the volute. It is concluded that the reduction of the total power of two adjacent sections of the PAT volute is equal to the sum of the power lost by the fluid while moving from one section to the other and the power output from the two adjacent sections. For a… More >

    Study on Energy Conversion Characteristics in Volute of Pump as Turbine

    Senchun Miao1,2,*, Hongbiao Zhang1, Fengxia Shi1, Xiaohui Wang1, Xijin Ma1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.17, No.1, pp. 201-214, 2021, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2021.012950

    Abstract A volute is a curved funnel with cross-sectional area increasing towards the discharge port. The volute of a centrifugal pump is the casing hosting the fluid being pumped by the impeller. In Pump-as-turbine devices (PAT), vice versa the volute plays the role of energy conversion element. In the present analysis, this process is analyzed using CFD. The results show that in the contraction section of volute the conversion between dynamic pressure energy and static pressure energy essentially depends on the reduction of flow area, while in the spiral section, frictional losses also play a significant role.

    Some Geometric Invariants of Pseudo-Spherical Evolutes in the Hyperbolic 3-Space

    H. S. Abdel-Aziz1, M. Khalifa Saad1,2,*, A. A. Abdel-Salam1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.57, No.3, pp. 389-415, 2018, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2018.02149

    Abstract In this paper, we study the pseudo-spherical evolutes of curves in three dimensional hyperbolic space. We use techniques from singularity theory to investigate the singularities of pseudo-spherical evolutes and establish some relationships between singularities of these curves and geometric invariants of curves under the action of the Lorentz group. Besides, we defray with illustration some computational examples in support our main results. More >
