基于动量流量法对喷水推进系统推力的CFD计算

采用结构化网格与非结构化网格相结合的方式划分了喷水推进系统的流场区域,采用稳态多参考系方法进行了数值计算。在此基础上,定义并求解一用户自定义标量函数标记整个流场,并根据标记结果将被喷水推进器吸入的流体与其它流体区分开。在后处理过程采用标量函数的等值面来确定喷水推进系统控制体上的流管分界面和进流面。利用数值计算所得的速度场对喷水推进系统喷口和进流面上的动量流量变化率进行计算,间接地得到喷水推进系统的推力。计算结果表明,采用CFD手段计算和分析喷水推进系统包括推力在内的各项性能指标是可行的。     

William Siborne’s Second Waterloo Model: New Discoveries Emerging from Conservation

In 2015, the second model of the battlefield of Waterloo by William Siborne was conserved in preparation for an exhibition commemorating the bicentenary of the battle. Conservation of the model provided an opportunity to conduct thorough examination, analysis and documentation of this complex work of art. The conservation and documentation of the model is described along with new discoveries emerging from analysis of materials.
