Formation of the cavity on a planar interface subjected to a perturbed shock wave

Naifu Peng, Ho Ling Li, Yue Yang

We report the mechanism and modeling for the formation of cavitylike structures on a planar interface subjected to a perturbed shock wave. The cavity is distinguished from bubbles and spikes formed in the standard Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI). The t ...

Model order reduction for compressible flows solved using the discontinuous Galerkin methods

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

Projection-based reduced order models (ROM) based on the weak form and the strong form of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method are proposed and compared for shock-dominated problems. The incorporation of dissipation components of DG in a consistent manne ...

Aerodynamic study of a Hyperloop pod equipped with compressor to overcome the Kantrowitz limit

Yohei Sato

This paper describes an investigation of the aerodynamic performance of a Hyperloop pod equipped with an axial compressor using CFD simulation. The compressor is expected to reduce the drag if the operational speed of the pod exceeds the Kantrowitz Limit ( ...

Physical Mechanism and Flow Control of Tip Vortex Cavitation

Ali Amini

Occurrence of cavitation in hydraulic machines is a challenging issue because it is often accompanied with loss of efficiency, noise emissions, vibrations, and erosion damages. Tip vortices, in particular, are an ideal site for the development of cavitatio ...

Analysis of Spiral-Grooved Gas Journal Bearings by the Narrow-Groove Theory and the Finite Element Method At Large Eccentricities

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Elia Iseli

A finite groove approach (FGA), based on the finite element method (FEM), is used for analyzing the static and dynamic behavior of spiral-grooved aerodynamic journal bearings at different eccentricities, number of grooves, and compressibility numbers. The ...

The Role of Impeller Outflow Conditions on the Performance of Vaned Diffusers

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

Highly loaded impellers, typically used in turbocharger and gas turbine applications, exhaust an unsteady, transonic flow that is nonuniform across the span and pitch and swirling at angles approaching tangential. With the exception of the flow angle, conf ...
