This paper designed and optimized a bidirectional three-port valve plate structure for solving the matching problem of flow rate and pressure in the aerospace pump-controlled differential hydraulic cylinder. This design aims to make the valve plate work well under the bidirectional high-speed condition. The model was set up using dynamic mesh and sliding mesh, and the simulation is conducted by FLUENT. In addition, the flow field of inlet and outlet flow rate pulsations, pressure pulsation in cylinder, and non-dead-point transition zone of four cases are analyzed to optimize the valve plate in this work. The numerical results show that different angles of non-dead-point transition zones of the valve plate have a big impact on the performance of the piston pump. For example, the flow rate pulsation reaches the minimum when the angle of non-dead point transition zone is greater than or equal to the angle of a cylinder port. However, at this time, the closed compression would occur and the pressure inside the cylinder would rise rapidly as the piston moves to the non-dead point zone, thus resulting in serious pressure overshoot. In addition, if the angle of non-dead point transition zone is reduced within a certain range, the pressure overshoot will be reduced drastically, and the flow pulsation rate will rise a bit. The study suggests that it is necessary to adjust the angle of non-dead point transition zone to balance the pressure overshoot and flow pulsation of the pump to obtain the optimal kidney structure of the valve plate.

Abstract The PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technology is a brand-new technique of measuring velocity. It started in the 1980’s with the development of high-speed photography and the image processing technique of computers. This article deals with PIV applied to the study of unsteady impeller-vaneless diffuser interaction in centrifugal fen. Experiments were carried out at The Turbomachinery Laboratory of Shanghai Jiaotong University. The test rig consists of a centrifugal, shrouded impeller, diffuser and volute casing all made of plexiglass. A series of performance measurements were carried out at different speeds and different vaneless diffuser widths. PIV measurements were applied to measure the unsteady flow at the exit part of the impeller and the inlet part of the diffuser for the case of the same width vaneless diffuser. The absolute flow field is measured at medium flow rate and at maximum flow rate. It is informative to capture the whole flow field at the same instant of time, and it might be more revealing to observe the unstable flow in real time.

The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on a four-stage centrifugal blower, having the aim of obtaining an accurate description of the flow field behind the impellers in several operative conditions and for different geometrical configurations. Actually, the test plant allows to change the turbomachinery characteristics assembling one, two, three or four stages and three different types of diffusers. In this first research step, the blower has been tested in the four-stage vaneless diffuser configuration. The unsteady flow field behind the impellers and in the diffusers has been measured by means of a hot-wire anemometer. A Phase Locked Ensemble Averaging Technique has been utilised to obtain the relative flow field from the instantaneous signals of the stationary hot-wire probes. Several detailed measurements sets have been performed using both single and crossed hot-wire probe, to obtain the velocity vectors and turbulence trends, just behind the blower impellers and in several radial positions of the vaneless diffusers. These measurements have been done at different flow rate conditions, covering unsteady flow rate phenomena (rotating stall) too. The results obtained allowed to get a detailed flow field analysis in the multistage centrifugal blower, in relation to the geometrical configuration and to the differing operating conditions.

The gas jets from the conical and new designed supersonic nozzles on different working pressure are simulated by a computational fluid dynamics code, FLUENT, using standard k-ε model and unstructured grid finite volume method with compressible axis-symmetry N-S equation. Under the same condition of pressure-inlet, the distribution of symmetry velocity and that of static pressure are compared. The result of the analysis indicates that conical nozzle outlet can reach subsonic or sonic flow. It is fit for low speed and low pressure situation. The gas jet from the new design supersonic nozzle working at design work pressure has better properties than those of other nozzles. So it is better for thick-plate and or high-speed laser cutting. It is obvious that the results of CFD numerical analysis are consistent with the shadowgraph. Thereby it is an effective way to optimize the nozzle according to the performance of flow field.

Purpose High pressure and high speed of the axial piston pump can improve its power density, but they also deteriorate the thermal-fluid-structure coupling effect of the friction pairs. This paper aims to reveal the coupling mechanism of the pump, for example, valve plate pair, by carrying out research on multi-physics field coupling. Design/methodology/approach Considering the influences of temperature on material properties and thermal fluid on structure, the thermal-fluid elastic mechanics model is established. A complete set of fast and effective thermal-fluid-structure coupling method is presented, by which the numerical analysis is conducted for the valve plate pair. Findings According to calculations, it is revealed that the temperature and pressure evolution laws of oil film with time, the pressure distribution law of the fluid, stress and displacement distribution laws of the solid in the valve plate pair. In addition, the forming history of the wedge-shaped oil film and mating clearance change law with rotational speed and outlet pressure in the valve plate pair are presented. Originality/value For an axial piston pump operating under high speed, high pressure and wide temperature range, the multi-physics field coupling analysis is an indispensable means and method. This paper provides theoretical evidence for the development of the pump and lays a solid foundation for the research of the same kind of problem.

The link rod butterfly valve relies on the link mechanism inside the flow channel to realize opening. The flow within flow channel is complex and the flow state is uncertain, so that pressure load of the flow part can't be determined in the butterfly valve designing, and strength of the parts can’t be calculated accurately and the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder can't be determined accurately. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out flow field analysis. In this paper, by adopting the plug-in COSMOSMotion of Solidworks software, the link rod butterfly valve with DN1800 is carried on motion simulation, determining the specific opening. And then the butterfly valve at different opening is carried out the finite element analysis of the flow field, adopting the plug-in COSMOSFloworks of Solidworks of software. The result shows that: the force is the largest when the valve plate is in just opening, it is 230731N, the strength analysis of the flow part and selection of the hydraulic cylinder should be based on the working condition; When full opening, the upward force on the valve plate is 18504N, this force is the power source when the valve plate is over opening. The above mentioned work provides a reliable theoretical basis for the strength calculation and the force and energy parameters calculation of the link rod butterfly valve and the theoretical reference for flow pattern evaluation of the link rod butterfly valve.
