▼ This work presents a numerical method for the analysis of fully nonlinear aeroelastic problems. The aeroelastic model consisted of a Navier-Stokes flow solver, a nonlinear structural model, and a solution methodology that assured synchronous interaction between the nonlinear structure and the fluid flow. The flow around the deforming wing was modeled as unsteady, compressible and viscous using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. To reduce the computational time, a three-level multigrid algorithm was implemented and the flow solver was parallelized. The message-passing interface (MPI) standard libraries were used for the parallel interprocessor communication. The computational domain was divided into topologically identical layers that spanned from the root to past the tip of the wing. A novel mesh deformation algorithm was developed to deform the mesh as the structure of the wing was being displaced. The mesh deformation algorithm was able to handle wing tip deformations of up to 60 % of the wing semi-span. Besides being robust, the mesh deforming algorithm was computationally more efficient than regriding, since deforming an existing mesh was computationally less expensive than generating a new mesh for each wing position. Results are presented for the validation and verification of both the flow solver and the aeroelastic solver. The flow solver was validated using: (1) the flow over a flat plate, to validate the turbulent model implementation, and (2) the flow over the NACA 0012 airfoil and over the F-5 wing, to validate the implementation of the convective and viscous fluxes, the time integration algorithm, and the boundary conditions. The aeroelastic solver was validated using: (1) the unsteady F-5 wing undergoing forced pitch motion, and (2) the Nonlinear Aeroelastic Test Apparatus (NATA) wing. In addition, aeroelastic results were generated for the Goland wing. The aeroelastic solver developed herein allows the analysis of aeroelastic phenomena using a fully nonlinear approach. Limit cycle oscillations, which are highly nonlinear phenomena, were captured by the nonlinearities of the flow solver and the structural solver. The impact of the nonlinearities was assessed for the Goland wing, where nonlinear terms changed dramatically the aeroelastic behavior of the wing.

▼ Over the last decade, soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are being exposed to blasts from powerful explosives with improvised detonation techniques. These blasts put them at high risk of closed head non-impact Blast-induced Traumatic Blast Injury (bTBI). bTBI is caused by interaction of shock-wave. It is a debilitating condition, but goes undiagnosed for several months. The pathology of bTBI is poorly understood making diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bTBI difficult. One way to study it is to construct a shock tube that replicate blast profile. However, this method does not replicate blast conditions perfectly. The goal of this research is to improve shock tube as a research tool, for studying bTBI, by better replicating military ordnance. Various 2D models to simulate the shock wave propagation in a shock tube to see the effects of varying shock tube geometry and working fluid on the blast profiles were developed. Ranges of different parameters evaluated are: tube length - 5ft to 25ft; tube diameter - 8? to 16?; working fluid - compressed air and helium; burst pressure- 20 to 55 psi. A total of 240 simulations were run to evaluate the effect of these factors on the pressure profile. Computations were carried out using commercial software, Star CCM+ (CD-adapco, NY, USA). Assumptions used to model the flow were unsteady, inviscid, compressible, axisymmetric flow with time-step of 1e-5s. Multiple regression was run on these parameters to establish empirical relationship with pressure profile. CFD model was validated using experimental data from Robbins-Moreno shock tube. Results show that as the burst pressure increases, peak overpressure, positive phase duration, and impulse also increase. Increasing tube diameter decreases peak. Change in tube length does not have a significant effect on peak overpressure, positive phase duration, and impulse. Working fluid was most significant factor determining the magnitude of impulse and duration. In conclusion, the empirical formulas developed using CFD model of the shock tube provide reasonable predictions about the key features of a pressure profile that and their dependence on the shock tube geometry, working fluid, and burst pressure. This knowledge will be used to improve shock tube to study bTBI.

▼ The effects of differential diffusion in the numerical modelling of a turbulent non-premixed hydrogen-air jet flame using a Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) method are investigated. The CMC calculations, which are coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations, relax the commonly used assumption of equal species mass diffusivities. The focus is on the predictions of species mass fractions and temperatures, especially the production of NO. The results of the calculations are compared with available experimental measurements. The formulation of the CMC species transport equation including differential diffusion is presented and the closure of the terms are discussed. Further, the CMC equation for conditional enthalpy is also derived in the present study. The implementation of the CMC equations using two dimensional finite volume method is discussed, including a presentation of the discretised forms of the equations. The results of the CMC calculations including the effects of differential diffusion show that NO mass fractions are increased from the large underpredictions observed for equal diffusivity results near the jet nozzle. Improvements are also found for other species such as H2 and H2O. The results show physical behaviours, such as a shift in the location of the reaction zone and increased reaction rates due to increased diffusion rates of H2. It is also found that differential diffusion effects persist downstream from the nozzle, where the effects are expected to be small, and reasons for the discrepancies are discussed in the present study. The profiles obtained from the CMC calculations show large radial variations, much larger than in equal diffusivity calculations. An analysis isolating the differential diffusion effects of various species shows that the largest changes occur due to the accounting for the differential diffusivity of H2. A budget of the terms in the CMC equations for the differentially diffusing chemical species and enthalpy is also investigated.

▼ Hollow fiber ultrafiltration is a viable low cost alternative technology for the concentration or separation of protein solutions. However, membrane fouling and solute build up in the vicinity of the membrane surface decrease the performance of the process by lowering the permeate flux. Major efforts have been devoted to study membrane fouling and design more efficient ultrafiltration membrane systems. The complexity of membrane fouling, however, has limited the progress to better understand and predict the occurrence of fouling. This work was motivated by the desire to develop a microscopic Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to capture the complexity of the membrane fouling during hollow fiber ultrafiltration of protein solutions. A CFD model was developed to investigate the transient permeate flux and protein concentration and the spatial fouling behavior during the concentration of electroacidified (pH 6) and non- electroacidified (pH 9) soy protein extracts by membrane ultrafiltration. Electroacidification of the soy protein to pH 6 was found to decrease the permeate flux during UF which resulted in longer filtration time. Lower electrostatic repulsion forces between the proteins at pH 6 (near the protein isoelectric point) resulted in a tighter protein accumulation on the membrane surface suggested to be responsible for the lower permeate flux observed in the UF of the electroacidified soy protein extract. A new transient two-component fouling resistance model based on the local pressure difference, permeate velocity and protein concentration was implemented in the resistance-in-series flux model to describe the dynamics of the reversible and irreversible fouling during the filtration and the effect of pH on the membrane fouling. Good agreement between the experimental data and the model predictions was observed. Mathematical modeling was performed to estimate the osmotic pressure and diffusion coefficient of the proteins bovine serum albumin (BSA) and soy glycinin, one of the major storage proteins in soy, as a function of protein concentration, pH, and ionic strength. Osmotic pressure and diffusion coefficient of proteins play vital roles in membrane filtration processes because they control the distribution of particles in the vicinity of the membrane surface, often influencing the permeation rate. Therefore, understanding the behavior of these properties is of great importance in addressing questions about membrane fouling. An artificial neural network was developed to analyze the estimated data in order to find a simple relation for osmotic pressure as a function of protein concentration, pH, and ionic strength. For both proteins, the osmotic pressure increased as pH diverged from the protein isoelectric point. Increasing the ionic strength, however, reversed the effect by shielding charges and thereby decreasing the osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure of glycinin was found lower than that of BSA. Depending on how much pH was far from the isoelectric point of the protein, osmotic pressure of BSA…

▼ Interest in pharmaceutical aerosol inhalation through respiratory airway is increasing as it is a fast and effective treatment for respiratory tract diseases. Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are devices containing fine pharmaceutical powders which are aerosolized during patient’s inhalation and delivered into the distal part of the lung. However, existing DPIs have relatively low efficiency due to strong inter-particle cohesion caused by the small particle sizes (less than 5 microns). To improve DPI performance, both DPI devices and inter-particle forces need to be considered. This work developed a CFD model, using ANSYS Fluent to simulate the fluid flow in a commercial inhaler Aerolizer®. The Discrete Phase Modelling (DPM) technique was adopted to track particle trajectories and depositions. The aim was to investigate the effect of DPI designs and electrostatic force on powder dispersion.The particle-wall impaction has been demonstrated as the major mechanism of agglomerate breakage in DPIS. Thus, the original Aerolizer® device has been modified to add bumps inside the chamber. A series of CFD simulations were carried out to determine the effect of device design on particle dispersion performance. Sensitivity tests were conducted to examine the mesh independence of the model. The fluid flow and particle-wall impaction in the new design were compared with those in the original design. The simulation results showed that the existence of bumps directly affected the turbulence level generated in the device as it disturbed the fluid flow. This led to a reduction in the normal velocity of particle impaction and number of particle impactions. The axial velocities in mouthpieces were similar for both device designs. The fractions of particles escaped from the original device were 40%, 10% and 21% for 3 µm, 5 µm and 10 µm particles, respectively. Similarly, 55%, 47% and 22% of total particles escaped from the revised device.The electrostatic force is one of the major adhesion forces during dispersion condition in DPI. Thus, the effect of electrostatic charge on particles was investigated during dispersion condition in DPIs. The well-established charge transfer theory was employed in CFD through Fluent UDF to determine the charge condition of fine powders during dispersion. The results showed that electrostatic charge distribution for escaped particles was lower for the revised device than the original device. Due to the large difference in magnitude between the van der Waals force and electrostatic force, the electrostatic force was found to have minimal effect on the particle dispersion. The overall particle-particle impactions were not significantly affected by the electrostatic force.The study demonstrates the effects of device design and electrostatic force on particle dispersion performance providing further insight into optimising the DPI efficiency, which will provide a basis for the future improvement of DPI devices.

▼ Resumo: Os Erlenmeyers agitados têm sido utilizados como uma ferramenta em pesquisa na área biotecnológica e laboratórios industriais, especialmente em estágios iniciais, onde graças a sua praticidade, muitos experimentos podem ser realizados simultaneamente com um baixo custo e virtualmente sem supervisão. No entanto, esses dispositivos só fornecem informação limitada dos processos fenomenológicos que acontecem dentro do Erlenmeyer, tais como a velocidade rotacional, que dá uma ideia dos requerimentos de mistura, etc. Esta limitação pode dificultar a transição de um novo processo da bancada experimental para a escala piloto ou industrial. Alguns estudos de pesquisa têm sido realizados para determinar importantes variáveis de processo, tais como consumo de potência volumétrico, capacidade de transferência de oxigênio, estresse hidrodinâmico, etc. A fluidodinâmica computacional (CFD) tem ganhado importância recentemente no estudo dos fenômenos de transporte, graças aos avanços no desenvolvimento de software especializado, e poder computacional. O objetivo desse trabalho é simular o processo de agitação desenvolvido em um Erlenmeyer agitado em máquinas orbitais, utilizando o pacote computacional CFX versão 14. Os resultados CFD são comparados com os dados experimentais disponíveis para validar o modelo com o objetivo de estudar a fluidodinâmica desenvolvida nestes dispositivos; Abstract: Erlenmeyers have been used as a tool in many biotechnology research and industrial laboratories, especially in its early stages when many experiments can be performed simultaneously at low cost and nearly without supervision. However, these devices offer only limited information on the phenomenological processes occurring within these shake flasks, as the rotational speed which gives an idea of the mixing requirements, etc. This limitation could be a difficulty when trying to scale up new processes developed in laboratories to a pilot plant scale or an industrial processes. Some experimental research has been carried out to determine important process variables in Erlenmeyer agitation such as volumetric power consumption, oxygen transfer capacity, hydrodynamic stress, etc. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has recently gained importance in the study of transport phenomena, thanks to advances in the development of specialized software, and computational power. The objective of this work is to simulate the mixing process in an Erlenmeyer flask. The software used is CFX version 14. The CFD results is compared with the experimental data available to validate this computational model in order to study the fluid dynamics that develops in these devices Advisors/Committee Members: Nunhez, José Roberto, 1961- (advisor), Souza, Edimilson (committee member), Lisboa, Antônio Carlos Luz (committee member).

O sistema estudado foi o sistema bifásico água-ar. O estudo foi realizado no regime homogêneo de operação para as velocidades superficiais de gás de 0,3 cm/s, 0,5 cm/s e 0,7 cm/s. Os experimentos de PIV e shadow imaging foram realizados nas mesmas condições operacionais. Para uma boa representação do escoamento pela técnica de PIV foi necessário o tratamento de 2500 fotos para as velocidades mais baixas e 3500 fotos para a velocidade mais alta. Para a técnica de shadow imaging foi necessário o tratamento de 2000 fotos para a determinação do diâmetro médio das bolhas. Nos testes numéricos foram avaliados dois modelos de arraste, o de Ishii-Zuber (1979) e o de Zhang-Vanderheyden (2002), para a turbulência foi utilizado o modelo k-?, e o diâmetro de bolha utilizado foi o obtido experimentalmente pela técnica de shadow imaging. Perfis de velocidade média axial de líquido obtidos experimentalmente foram comparados com os dados numéricos. Análises dos tensores de Reynolds, energia cinética turbulenta e intensidade turbulenta também foram avaliados. Para a velocidade de 0,3 cm/s e 0,5 cm/s ambos os modelos de arraste representaram bem o escoamento.

▼ In this work, various aerosol particle transport and deposition mechanisms were studied through the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, including inertial impaction, gravitational effect, lift force, interception, and turbophoresis, within different practical applications including aerosol sampling inlet, filtration system and turbulent pipe flows. The objective of the research is to obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms that affect aerosol particle transport and deposition, and to determine the feasibility and accuracy of using commercial CFD tools in predicting performance of aerosol sampling devices. Flow field simulation was carried out first, and then followed by Lagrangian particle tracking to obtain the aerosol transport and deposition information. The CFD-based results were validated with experimental data and empirical correlations. In the simulation of the aerosol inlet, CFD-based penetration was in excellent agreement with experimental results, and the most significant regional particle deposition occurred due to inertial separation. At higher free wind speeds gravity had less effect on particle deposition. An empirical equation for efficiency prediction was developed considering inertial and gravitational effects, which will be useful for directing design of similar aerosol inlets. In the simulation of aerosol deposition on a screen, a "virtual surface" approach, which eliminates the need for the often-ambiguous user defined functions, was developed to account for particle deposition due to interception. The CFD-based results had a good agreement compared with experimental results, and also with published empirical correlations for interception. In the simulation of turbulent deposition in pipe flows, the relation between particle deposition velocity and wall-normal turbulent velocity fluctuation was quantitative determined for the first time, which could be used to quantify turbulent deposition, without having to carry out Lagrangian particle tracking. It suggested that the Reynolds stress model and large eddy simulation would lead to the most accurate simulated aerosol deposition velocity. The prerequisites were that the wall-adjacent y+ value was sufficiently low, and that sufficient number of prism layers was applied in the near-wall region. The "velocity fluctuation convergence" would be useful criterion for judging the adequacy of a CFD simulation for turbulent deposition.

▼ In the oil and gas industry, pipeline networks are used to transport the production fluids from wells to production plants. During normal operation, the pipelines need regular cleaning and inspection. Typically, the pipeline maintenance is performed by pigging, which refers to using devices known as “pigs ”(Pipeline Inspection Gauges) to perform various maintenance operations of the pipeline. In order to describe the motion of the pig in the pipeline, detailed understanding of the flow around the pig is required. In this research, a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) approach was applied to model fully turbulent flow (Re ¼ 107) around various types of bypass pigs. We especially focused on the relation between the overall pressure drop, which was represented by a dimensionless pressure loss coefficient, and various dimensionless parameters describing the flow and the configuration. The pressure loss coefficient is caused by the fluid that passes through the bypass area. If the pressure loss coefficient is known, together with the friction between the moving pig and the pipe wall, the motion of the pig can be described. Moreover, often the flow in the pipeline is in multiphase (stratified flow) condition. Therefore, in this research the effect of multiphase flow around a bypass pig was also investigated. For the single phase study, two types of bypass pigs were investigated: the disk pig and the complex bypass pig. The disk pig has a fixed and relatively simple geometry, and it is based on the conventional bypass pig, with a deflector plate in front of the pig body. The complex bypass pig geometry is based on the disk pig, though now the bypass area is created by holes which can be adjusted. In reality, for these complex bypass pigs, the bypass pig velocity is controlled by adjusting the bypass area. For the conventional bypass pig, previous studies have shown that the Idelchik’s correlation for thick orifices can predict the pressure loss coefficient accurately. Thus a similar approach was applied in the disk pig study in order to obtain a theoretical correlation to predict the pressure loss coefficient for the disk pig. Indeed such a correlation was found which gives an accurate prediction for a certain parameter regime. In the complex bypass pig study, we mainly focused on the influence of the bypass area fraction on the pressure loss coefficient. Two correlations based on two approaches were suggested. It was found that these correlations can predict the overall pressure drop across the complex bypass pig accurately, especially when the opening fraction of the bypass adjusting holes was relatively large. Furthermore, for the multiphase study, the simpler pig models were investigated. First of all, the flow in front of a pig without bypass region was investigated. One of the practical purposes of this study is that we want to investigate under which condition the full pipeline perimeter gets wetted with liquid. This is important for the distribution of corrosion inhibitors. Moreover, the multiphase flow around a… Advisors/Committee Members: Henkes, R.A.W.M., Breugem, W.-P., Hendrix, M.H.W..

▼ SPECIALIZED INTER-PARTICLE INTERACTION LBM FOR PATTERNED SUPERHYDROPHOBIC SURFACES by AMAL S. YAGUB ABSTRACT: Superhydrophobic surface characteristics are important in many industrial applications, ranging from the textile to the military. It was observed that surfaces fabricated with nano/micro roughness can manipulate the droplet contact angle, thus providing an opportunity to control the droplet wetting characteristics. The Shan and Chen (SC) lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) is a good numerical tool, which holds strong potentials to qualify for simulating droplets wettability. This is due to its realistic nature of droplet contact angle (CA) prediction on flat smooth surfaces. But SC-LBM was not able to replicate the CA on rough surfaces because it lacks a real representation of the physics at work under these conditions. By using a correction factor to influence the interfacial tension within the asperities, the physical forces acting on the droplet at its contact lines were mimicked. This approach allowed the model to replicate some experimentally confirmed Wenzel and Cassie wetting cases. Regular roughness structures with different spacing were used to validate the study using the classical Wenzel and Cassie equations. This work highlights the strength and weakness of the SC model and attempts to qualitatively conform it to the fundamental physics, which causes a change in the droplet apparent contact angle, when placed on nano/micro structured surfaces. In the second part of this work, the model is used also to analyze the sliding of droplets in contact with flat horizontal surfaces. This part identifies the main factors, which influence the multiphase fluids transport in squared channels. Effects of dimensionless radius, Weber number, Reynolds number and static contact angles are evaluated by calculating the power required for moving single droplets in comparison to the power needed for moving the undisturbed flow in the channel. Guidelines for optimizing the design of such flow are presented. In last part of work, the sliding of droplets on sloped surfaces with and without roughness is numerically investigated. The Shan and Chen (SC) Lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) is used to analyze the effect of pinning on the movement of droplets placed on sloped surfaces. The model is checked for conformance with the Furmidge equation which applies to tilted unstructured surfaces. It is shown that a droplet sliding on a perfectly smooth surface requires very minimal slope angle and that pinning due to the inhomogeneous nature of manufactured smooth surfaces is the key factor in determining the minimal slope angle. The model is also used on sloped rough surfaces to check the effects of roughness on the movement of single droplets. The numerical outcomes are compared with published experimental results for validation and a dimensionless number is suggested for quantifying the degree of pinning needed to control the behavior of… Advisors/Committee Members: Trilochan Singh, Hassan M.

▼ This dissertation describes the use of permanent-change thermal paints as a technique for global surface temperature measurements on short-duration hypersonic flight vehicles. The thermal paints provide an inexpensive, robust and relatively quick way of instrumenting hypersonic flight vehicles to measure in-flight surface temperatures through a single or multiple colour change which is a function of both the soak temperature and exposure time. A lack of quantitative surface temperature measurement for hypersonic flights through the use of this technique was found in the existing literature. The colour-change dependency on the exposed temperature history necessitated the transient calibration of these thermal paints. An experimental rig capable of replicating the time-varying high temperatures encountered during the short-duration hypersonic flights has been designed and developed using an electric-arc based method as a part of this work. This enabled the calibration of the thermal paints for theuse during hypersonic flight tests. Permanent-change thermal paints were used on the USAF/DSTO HIFiRE-0 hypersonic test vehicle as an initial test to measure the heating distribution for a suborbital parabolic flight trajectory. Post-flight recovery of the flight vehicle indicated that the patches of the thermal paints applied on the patch antenna section of the aluminium instrumentation can had undergone a visible colour change due toin-flight heating. The calibration of the same thermal paints was performed using the electric-arc based system which reproduced the predicted surface temperature histories obtained from the numerical conjugate-heat-transfer simulations. The numerical code and methodology used during this work to predict the surface temperature histories of the hypersonic flight vehicles was validated using in-flight data available from the HIFiRE-1 hypersonic flight test. The colour-change of the thermal paints for both the recovered flight and the calibrated samples were quantified andcompared using spectral and image analysis. The comparison provided a good agreement between the two sets of data and a quantitative surface temperature map of the patch antenna at the end of the descent phase of the HIFiRE-0 flight vehicle was deduced using the calibration data. The accuracy and the ambient pressure dependence of the thermal paints have also been discussed in this work.

▼ Compartment fires are a major cause of property destruction, often resulting in firefighter injury or loss of life. Compartment firebehaviour training (CFBT) aims to equip firefighters with the necessary knowledge and skills for combating these hazardous fires,however the practical training is limited to a single scenario, that of a shipping container, This thesis provides accurate experimentaldata for a variety of compartment fires and validated numerical models, which are used to determine the feasibility of using the modelsto build an interactive database. Such a database would allow firefighters to safely examine a variety of building fires.To initially validate the numerical models for a fire scenario with a realistic fire load, an over-ventilated small enclosure was designedand built using solid fuel as the fire source. Five different configurations were examined with changes in fire location and increasingamounts of fuel. All experimental results were corrected for radiation effects and numerical models using Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS) were produced for each configuration with excellent agreement to within 10% for temperatures and trends in fire growth anddecay.The shipping container demonstration cell used for CFBT was then considered. The demonstration cell has a higher aspect ratio andexperienced far more radiation feedback making it experimentally and computationally more complex and is an ideal comparison asfirefighters use it in their CFBT demonstrations. A series of six tests were developed with increasing amounts of fuel and changes inventitat+on. Excelient agreernent was found between measured and FDS results.A final series of experiments were conducted in collaboration with the NSW Fire Brigade and NSW Police, using a house with modernfurnishing. A total of seven different tests were completed in different rooms with a range of different fuel loads. Again each test wassuccessfully modelled ssing FDS* These fires included flashorrer scenarios and hightigrhGd the dependence of temperatures not onlyon the amount of fuel present but also the importance of oxygen content.Finally it was determined that the validated CFD models produced would be the ideal foundation for a CFBT database. The importantaspects of the database and options for its hardware and software development were explored. Such a tool would be an idealaccompaniment to GFBT allowing firefighters to examine compartment fires in a unique and instructive way.

Den här rapporten undersöker hur strömningsmotståndet och tätheten i en vridspjällsventil påverkas av form på spindel och spjäll. I rapporten undersök också storleken på det hydrodynamiska moment som fluiden utövar på ventilens spindel. Rapporten utgår från en referensventil som ingår i SOMAS (SOMAS Instrument AB) produktsortiment och är av typen MTV med dimensionen DN 150. Modifieringar görs på referensventilens spindel och spjäll. Som mått på strömningsmotstånd används ventilens egenkarakteristik och som mått på täthet används storleken på den elastiska deformationen på spindel och spjäll då ventilen är stängd. Kraven som ställs då spindel och spjäll modifieras är att spindeln ska vara delad, spindel och spjäll ska gå att montera in i referensventilens ventilhus och referensventilen skall vara tät då ett modifierat spjäll med delad spindel monterats in i referensventilen. För att skatta egenkarakteristik, hydrodynamiskt moment och täthet har CFD- och strukturmodeller byggts upp i COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.0a. Det har också gjorts en experimentell flödesanalys för att ta fram strömningsmotståndet på referensventilen. I examensarbetet har två modifierade spjäll med delad spindel tagits fram. De modifierade spjällen med delad spindel går att montera in i referensventilens ventilhus. CFD-analysen visar att det går att minska strömningsmotståndet i referensventilen då spjällen med delad spindel monteras in i ventilhuset. Analysen visar också att det hydrodynamiska momentet är lågt. Strukturanalysen visar att referensventilen är tät då de modifierade spjällen med delad spindel monteras in i ventilhuset.

This report investigates how design on disc and shaft affects the inherent flow characteristic and the shutoff rating on a butterfly valve. This report also investigates the size of the hydrodynamic torque acting on the shaft. Design modifications are made on a reference valve which is a butterfly valve of model MTV with dimension DN 150 and is a part of SOMAS (SOMAS Instrument AB) products. A measurement of shutoff rating is the size of the elastic deformation of the disc and the shaft. The demands of the design on disc and shaft are: the shaft will be a split type shaft, the disc and the shaft shall fit the valve body of the reference valve, the reference valve will have a shutoff rating that prevents leakage when the disc and the shaft are mounted in the body of the reference valve. To estimate the inherent flow characteristic, the hydrodynamic torque and the shutoff rating CFD-models and structural-models has been built in COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.0a. An experimental analysis has also been made to determine the inherent flow characteristic of the reference valve. This report presents two different discs with a split shaft that fits the body of the reference valve. When a newly designed disc and shaft are mounted in the body of the reference valve the CFD-analysis shows a greater inherent flow characteristic of the reference valve compared to the…
