A smoothed particle hydrodynamics model for droplet and film flow on smooth and rough fracture surfaces     

《Advances in water resources》2013

Flow on fracture surfaces has been identified by many authors as an important flow process in unsaturated fractured rock formations. Given the complexity of flow dynamics on such small scales, robust numerical methods have to be employed in order to capture the highly dynamic interfaces and flow intermittency. In this work we use a three-dimensional multiphase Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model to simulate surface tension dominated flow on smooth fracture surfaces. We model droplet and film flow over a wide range of contact angles and Reynolds numbers encountered in such flows on rock surfaces. We validate our model via comparison with existing empirical and semi-analytical solutions for droplet flow. We use the SPH model to investigate the occurrence of adsorbed trailing films left behind droplets under various flow conditions and its importance for the flow dynamics when films and droplets coexist. It is shown that flow velocities are higher on prewetted surfaces covered by a thin film which is qualitatively attributed to the enhanced dynamic wetting and dewetting at the trailing and advancing contact lines. Finally, we demonstrate that the SPH model can be used to study flow on rough surfaces.  相似文献   

重非水相液体与水相界面面积的二维实验研究     

李木子  万力 《地学前缘》2016,23(5):301-309

多孔介质中重非水相液体(Dense Non Aqueous Phase Liquid,DNAPL)与水相的界面面积是影响DNAPL在地下水中溶解速率的关键参数。本文通过二维均质砂箱实验,运用界面分配示踪法和体积分配示踪法分别测定DNAPL与水相的界面面积(单位介质体积内的面积,Anw)和DNAPL饱和度(Sn),并研究两者之间的相关关系。使用C18H29NaO3S(SDBS)作为界面分配示踪剂,Alcohol(2,4 Dimethyl 3 Pentanol)作为体积分配示踪剂,CaBr2作为保守示踪剂。利用Fe2+催化的Na2S2O8对DNAPL进行原位氧化修复,改变Anw和Sn。结果表明,通过定量(用孔隙体积数PV值衡量)加入Na2S2O8,Anw由206 cm2逐渐降为37 cm2,下降速率约为14 cm2/PV;Sn由1.34%逐渐降为0.33%,下降速率约为0.1%/PV;Anw和Sn之间具有良好的线性关系(Anw=146×Sn,R2=0.987)。此关系可用于估算多孔介质中DNAPL与水相之间的界面面积。对实验影响因素的分析表明,孔隙度的增大(变化率为20.7%)使示踪剂穿透曲线出现肩现象和拖尾现象,导致保守示踪剂的保留时间增加5.6%,界面面积减小6.8%。  相似文献   

强降雨条件下具有张裂缝边坡临界滑动场     

蒋泽锋  朱大勇 《岩土力学》2016,37(Z2):25-34

降雨持时较长且雨强较大时,雨水的入渗不仅会增大孔隙水压力,且易使张裂缝充水形成静水压力,对边坡稳定不利。结合降雨条件下饱和-非饱和渗流分析,考虑降雨过程中的瞬态孔隙水压力场与瞬态强度场,并同时考虑张裂缝充水时的静水压力,对边坡临界滑动场法进行改进,提出降雨条件下具有张裂缝边坡临界滑动场数值模拟方法,且对其进行了验证。将该方法用于一个典型均质黏土边坡算例,结果表明,（1）文中方法可考虑张裂缝具体位置、深度及其充水状态下对边坡稳定性的影响,并能搜索出任意形状危险滑面,计算结果合理可靠;（2）降雨条件下张裂缝中静水压力对边坡稳定性及滑面形状有较大影响;（3）降雨条件下张裂缝位置对边坡稳定有较大影响,距坡肩越近,张裂缝对边坡稳定性影响越大;（4）张裂缝处在最不利位置且充水时存在一个最不利深度。  相似文献   

Research on controlling long-term performance by tensioning post tendon of long-span continuous rigid-frame bridges     

HE Mingxuan  ZHENG Yifeng  ZHAO Qun 《东北亚地学研究》2013,(4):213-216

The problems like cracking of the girder in the mid-span and the ever-increasing vertical deflection appear during the long term usage of the long-span continuous rigid-flame bridge. Post-tension tendon with re- served duct can increase the pre-stress of the main beam effectively, and decrease the long term span deflection in order to improve the performance of the girder. At the same time, the proper tension position is very crucial to optimise the stress distribution of the bridge and control the deflection increase. Combining with practical en- gineering, the authors analyze the influence of different positions of post-tension tendon （ including top-, web- and bottom plate tendons） on the stress and deflection of the main beam, and find out the optimal position of post tendon.  相似文献

A finite element cable model and its applications based on the cubic spline curve     

方子帆  贺青松  向兵飞  肖化攀  何孔德  杜义贤 《中国海洋工程》2013,27(5):683-692

For accurate prediction of the deformation of cable in the towed system, a new finite element model is presented that provides a representation of both the bending and torsional effects. In this paper, the cubic spline interpolation function is applied as the trial solution. By using a weighted residual approach, the discretized motion equations for the new finite element model are developed. The model is calculated with the computation program complier by Matlab. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the numerical schemes. The results of numerical simulation are stable and valid, and consistent with the mechanical properties of the cable. The model can be applied to kinematics analysis and the design of ocean cable, such as mooring lines, towing, and ROV umbilical cables.  相似文献   

Numerical models and ductile ultimate deformation response of post‐tensioned self‐centering moment connections     

Hyung‐Joon Kim  Constantin Christopoulos 《地震工程与结构动力学》2009,38(1):1-21

New steel moment‐resisting connections that incorporate post‐tensioning elements to provide a self‐centering capacity and devices to dissipate seismic input energy have recently been proposed and experimentally validated. Experimental studies have confirmed that these connections are capable of undergoing large lateral deformations with negligible residual drifts. To facilitate their implementation, accurate modeling of the behavior of systems incorporating post‐tensioned connections must be readily available to designers and researchers. A number of simplified models have been suggested in the literature by researchers trying to capture experimental results at the beam–column connections and thereby to predict the global response of structures incorporating such connections. To provide a clear set of guidelines for the modeling of post‐tensioned steel frames, for practicing engineers as well as researchers, in this paper three types of numerical models of increasing complexity are presented: (i) a sectional analysis procedure, (ii) a lumped plasticity spring frame leveled approach and (iii) a non‐linear solid finite element analysis to predict the response at ultimate deformation levels. The analytical results obtained from the numerical models predict well the structural behavior of these connections when compared with available experimental data. Even at the ultimate deformation level, analytical results are in good agreement with test results. Furthermore, detailing requirements are proposed to assure that flexural hinges form in the beams in order to improve the cyclic response of steel self‐centering connections when drifts exceeding the design drifts are imposed to the system. Experimental and analytical studies demonstrate that steel post‐tensioned self‐centering connections incorporating the proposed detailing in the beams develop an increased deformation capacity and thereby exhibit a ductile response while avoiding a sudden loss of their strength and stiffness.

Interfacial tension measurements and wettability evaluation for geological CO₂ storage     

C. Chalbaud  M. Robin  J-M Lombard  F. Martin  P. Egermann  H. Bertin 《Advances in water resources》2009

Interfacial interactions, namely interfacial tension, wettability, capillarity and interfacial mass transfer are known to govern fluid distribution and behavior in porous media. Therefore the interfacial interactions between CO₂, brine and oil and/or gas reservoirs have a significant influence on the effectiveness of any CO₂ storage operations. However, data and knowledge of interfacial properties in storage conditions are scarce. This issue becomes particularly true in the case of deep saline aquifers where limited, economically driven, data collection and archiving are available. In this paper, we present a complete set of brine–CO₂ interfacial tension data at pressure, temperature and salinity conditions, representative of a CO₂ storage operation. A semi-empirical correlation is proposed to calculate the interfacial tension from the experimental data. Wettability is studied at pore scale, using glass micromodels in order to track fluids distribution as a function of the thermodynamic properties and wettability conditions for water–CO₂ systems. With this approach, we show that, in strongly hydrophilic porous media, the CO₂ does not wet the solid surface whereas; if the porous media has less hydrophilic properties the CO₂ significantly wets the surface.  相似文献   

Shaking table tests of steel frame with superelastic Cu–Al–Mn SMA tension braces          下载免费PDF全文

Shaking table tests are performed on a one‐bay one‐story steel frame with superelastic Cu–Al–Mn shape memory alloy (SMA) tension braces. The frame is subjected to a series of scaled ground motions recorded during the 1995 Kobe earthquake, Japan. The test results demonstrate that the SMA braces are effective to prevent residual deformations and pinching. It is also shown that the time history responses observed from the shaking table tests agree well with the numerical predictions using a rate‐independent piecewise‐linear constitutive model calibrated to the quasi‐static component tests of the SMA braces. This suggests that the loading rate dependence of Cu–Al–Mn SMAs as well as the modeling error due to the piecewise linear approximation can be neglected in capturing the global response of the steel frame. Numerical simulations under a suite of near‐fault ground motion records are further performed using the calibrated analytical models to demonstrate the effectiveness of the SMA braces when the variability of near‐fault ground motions is taken into account. A stopper, or a deformation restraining device, is also proposed to prevent premature fracture of SMA bars in unexpectedly large ground motions while keeping the self‐centering capability in moderate to large ground motions. The effectiveness of the stopper is also demonstrated in the quasi‐static component and shaking table tests. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Dynamic properties analysis of a stay cable-damper system in consideration of design and construction factors     

Danhui Dan  Yanyang Chen  Rong Xiao 《地震工程与工程振动(英文版)》2014,13(2):317-326

A numerical solution based on the Steffensen stable point iterative method is proposed to resolve the transcendental frequency equation of a stay cable-damper system. The frequency equation, which considers clamped supports and fl exural rigidity of the cable, is intended to investigate the infl uence of the parameters of the cable damper system on its dynamic characteristics. Two factors involved in the design and construction phases, the damping coeffi cient induced by external dampers and the cable tension, are the focus of this study. Their impact on modal frequencies and damping ratios in these two phases of cable-damper systems are investigated by resolving the equation with the proposed solution. It is shown that the damping coeffi cient and cable tension exert more noticeable effects on the modal damping ratios than on the modal frequencies of stay cable-damper systems, and the two factors can serve as design variables in the design phase and as adjustment factors in the construction phase. On the basis of the results, a roadmap for system-level optimal design of stay cable-damper systems that can achieve global optimal vibration suppression for the entire bridge is proposed and discussed.  相似文献
