Numerical simulation research on the optimization for blade shape of rotational supercavitating
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rotational Supercavitating Evaporator (RSCE) has been proposed as a new technology for seawater desalination. However, it lacks systematic researches on the blade shape of RSCE. In this paper, numerical simulations were conducted on the supercavities formed behind two-dimensional (2D) wedge-shaped cavitators of the RSCE. The cavitating flows around the 2D wedge-shaped cavitators with several certain wedge angles varied from 30 to 150 degrees under different cavitation numbers were simulated, and the empirical formulae of supercavity dimensions about cavitation number at corresponding wedge angles were obtained.

A semi-analytical model for velocity profile at wind turbine wake using blade element momentum
The shape of wake behind a wind turbine is normally assumed to have a hat shape for the models used in wind farm layout optimization purposes; however, it is know from experimental tests and numerical simulations that this is not a real assumption. In reality, the results of actual measurements and detailed numerical simulation show that the velocity in wake region has a S-shape profile. The pr...
