A Numerical Study of a Submerged Water Jet Impinging on a Stationary Wall

Abstract

The impinging jet is a classical flow model with relatively simple geometric boundary conditions, and it is widely used in marine engineering. In recent years, scholars have conducted more and more fundamental studies on impact jets, but most of the classical turbulence models are used in numerical simulations, and the accuracy of their calculation results is still a problem in regions with large changes in velocity gradients such as the impact zone. In order to study the complex flow characteristics of the water flow under the condition of a submerged jet impacting a stationary wall, the Wray–Agarwal turbulence model was chosen for the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation study of the impacting jet. Continuous jets with different Reynolds numbers and different impact heights H/D were used to impact the stationary wall, and the results show that the jet flow structure depends on the impact height and is relatively independent of the Reynolds number. With the increase in the impact height, the diffusion of the jet reaching the impact area gradually increases, and its velocity gradually decreases. As the impact height increases, the maximum pressure coefficient decreases and the rate of decrease increases gradually, and the dimensionless pressure distribution is almost constant. In this paper, the flow field structure and pressure characteristics of a continuous submerged jet impacting a stationary wall are explored in depth, which is of great guidance to engineering practice.

Contactless calibration of microchanneled AFM cantilevers for fluidic force microscopy

“…Comparison of the deflection profiles to the one acquired at p ext = 0 mbar shows that the origin is associated with hydrodynamic effects and not surface forces. At smaller separation distances between aperture and surface, the jet ejected from the cantilever's aperture, and the resulting impinging jet acts back on the cantilever, leading to an additional force contribution 79 . However, the absence of a dedicated nozzle on the cantilever (cf.…”

“…At smaller separation distances between aperture and surface, the jet ejected from the cantilever's aperture, and the resulting impinging jet acts back on the cantilever, leading to an additional force contribution. 79 However, the absence of a dedicated nozzle on the cantilever (cf. Figure 2) leads to a strong reduction of this effect, which levels off rapidly with increasing separation.…”

Effect of Special-Shaped Nozzle Structure on Water Jet Performance

“…In accordance with jet theory, the radial velocity on the jet cross-section gradually decreased from the central axis to the boundary in the main section of the jet, as shown in Figure 5 in Section 3.1, and accurately measuring the effective impact area of the jet cross-section by experimental means is difficult. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is widely used in the study of fluid flow due to its high accuracy, its ability to extract a variety of physical quantities, and its high efficiency [35,36]. In this study, CFD wasused to supplement the study of the jet performance of differently shaped nozzles.…”

Effect of Bubble Collapse Combined with Oxidants on the Benzamide by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

“…The process can not only reduce treating time and energy consumption but can also obtain better degradation effects. At present, scholars have performed many simulations on pumps − and jets, , but there are few studies on the degradation process of pollutants by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Existing studies are also based on the experimental point of view to explore the optimal conditions for the degradation rate of pollutants and the process combination method, and the effects of fluid properties, structure characteristics of HC equipment, and technology on HC effectiveness are studied in detail .…”
