Abstract. The outflow of dust from the northern African continent towards the North Atlantic is stimulated by the atmospheric circulation over North Africa, which modulates the spatio-temporal distribution of dust source activation and consequently the entrainment of mineral dust into the boundary layer, as well as the transport of dust out of the source regions. The atmospheric circulation over the North African dust source regions, predominantly the Sahara and the Sahel, is characterized by three major circulation regimes: (1) the harmattan (trade winds), (2) the Saharan heat low (SHL), and (3) the West African monsoon circulation. The strength of the individual regimes controls the Saharan dust outflow by affecting the spatio-temporal distribution of dust emission, transport pathways, and deposition fluxes.This study aims at investigating the atmospheric circulation pattern over North Africa with regard to its role favouring dust emission and dust export towards the tropical North Atlantic. The focus of the study is on summer 2013 (June to August), during which the SALTRACE (Saharan Aerosol Long-range TRansport and Aerosol-Cloud interaction Experiment) field campaign also took place. It involves satellite observations by the Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) flying on board the geostationary Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite, which are analysed and used to infer a data set of active dust sources. The spatio-temporal distribution of dust source activation frequencies (DSAFs) allows for linking the diurnal cycle of dust source activations to dominant meteorological controls on dust emission. In summer, Saharan dust source activations clearly differ from dust source activations over the Sahel regarding the time of day when dust emission begins. The Sahara is dominated by morning dust source activations predominantly driven by the breakdown of the nocturnal low-level jet. In contrast, dust source activations in the Sahel are predominantly activated during the second half of the day, when downdrafts associated with deep moist convection are the major atmospheric driver. Complementary to the satellite-based analysis on dust source activations and implications from their diurnal cycle, simulations on atmosphere and dust life cycle were performed using the mesoscale atmosphere–dust model system COSMO-MUSCAT (COSMO: COnsortium for Small-scale MOdelling; MUSCAT: MUltiScale Chemistry Aerosol Transport Model). Fields from this simulation were analysed regarding the variability of the harmattan, the Saharan heat low, and the monsoon circulation as well as their impact on the variability of the Saharan dust outflow towards the North Atlantic. This study illustrates the complexity of the interaction among the three major circulation regimes and their modulation of the North African dust outflow. Enhanced westward dust fluxes frequently appear following a phase characterized by a deep SHL. Ultimately, findings from this study contribute to the quantification of the interannual variability of the atmospheric dust burden.

Abstract. We document and evaluate the aerosol schemes as implemented in the physical and Earth system models, the Global Coupled 3.1 configuration of the Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 3 (HadGEM3-GC3.1) and the United Kingdom Earth System Model (UKESM1), which are contributing to the sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The simulation of aerosols in the present-day period of the historical ensemble of these models is evaluated against a range of observations. Updates to the aerosol microphysics scheme are documented as well as differences in the aerosol representation between the physical and Earth system configurations. The additional Earth system interactions included in UKESM1 lead to differences in the emissions of natural aerosol sources such as dimethyl sulfide, mineral dust and organic aerosol and subsequent evolution of these species in the model. UKESM1 also includes a stratospheric–tropospheric chemistry scheme which is fully coupled to the aerosol scheme, while GC3.1 employs a simplified aerosol chemistry mechanism driven by prescribed monthly climatologies of the relevant oxidants. Overall, the simulated speciated aerosol mass concentrations compare reasonably well with observations. Both models capture the negative trend in sulfate aerosol concentrations over Europe and the eastern United States of America (US) although the models tend to underestimate sulfate concentrations in both regions. Interactive emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds in UKESM1 lead to an improved agreement of organic aerosol over the US. Simulated dust burdens are similar in both models despite a 2-fold difference in dust emissions. Aerosol optical depth is biased low in dust source and outflow regions but performs well in other regions compared to a number of satellite and ground-based retrievals of aerosol optical depth. Simulated aerosol number concentrations are generally within a factor of 2 of the observations, with both models tending to overestimate number concentrations over remote ocean regions, apart from at high latitudes, and underestimate over Northern Hemisphere continents. Finally, a new primary marine organic aerosol source is implemented in UKESM1 for the first time. The impact of this new aerosol source is evaluated. Over the pristine Southern Ocean, it is found to improve the seasonal cycle of organic aerosol mass and cloud droplet number concentrations relative to GC3.1 although underestimations in cloud droplet number concentrations remain. This paper provides a useful characterisation of the aerosol climatology in both models and will facilitate understanding in the numerous aerosol–climate interaction studies that will be conducted as part of CMIP6 and beyond.

Abstract. We describe and evaluate the NMMB/BSC-Dust, a new dust aerosol cycle model embedded online within the NCEP Non-hydrostatic Multiscale Model (NMMB). NMMB is a further evolution of the operational Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model (WRF-NMM), which together with other upgrades has been extended from meso to global scales. Its unified non-hydrostatic dynamical core is prepared for regional and global simulation domains. The new NMMB/BSC-Dust is intended to provide short to medium-range weather and dust forecasts from regional to global scales and represents a first step towards the development of a unified chemical-weather model. This paper describes the parameterizations used in the model to simulate the dust cycle including sources, transport, deposition and interaction with radiation. We evaluate monthly and annual means of the global configuration of the model against the AEROCOM dust benchmark dataset for year 2000 including surface concentration, deposition and aerosol optical depth (AOD), and we evaluate the daily AOD variability in a regional domain at high resolution covering Northern Africa, Middle East and Europe against AERONET AOD for year 2006. The NMMB/BSC-Dust provides a good description of the horizontal distribution and temporal variability of the dust. Daily AOD correlations at the regional scale are around 0.6–0.7 on average without dust data assimilation. At the global scale the model lies within the top range of AEROCOM dust models in terms of performance statistics for surface concentration, deposition and AOD. This paper discusses the current strengths and limitations of the modeling system and points towards future improvements.

Abstract. The relative importance of river solid discharge, deposited sediment remobilisation, and atmospheric dust as sources of neodymium (Nd) to the ocean is the subject of ongoing debate, the magnitudes of these fluxes being associated with a significant uncertainty. The Mediterranean basin is a specific basin; it receives a vast amount of emissions from different sources and is surrounded by continental margins, with a significant input of dust as compared to the global ocean. Furthermore, it is largely impacted by the Atlantic water inflow via the Strait of Gibraltar. Here, we present the first simulation of dissolved Nd concentration ([Nd]) and Nd isotopic composition (εNd) using a high-resolution regional model (NEMO/MED12/PISCES) with an explicit representation of all Nd inputs, and the internal cycle, i.e. the interactions between the particulate and dissolved phases. The high resolution of the oceanic model (at 1/12∘), essential to the simulation of a realistic Mediterranean circulation in present-day conditions, gives a unique opportunity to better apprehend the processes governing the Nd distribution in the marine environment. The model succeeds in simulating the main features of εNd and produces a realistic distribution of [Nd] in the Mediterranean Sea. We estimated the boundary exchange (BE, which represents the transfer of elements from the margin to the sea and their removal by scavenging) flux at 89.43 × 106 g(Nd) yr−1, representing ∼84.4 % of the total external Nd source to the Mediterranean basin. The river discharge provided 3.66 × 106 g(Nd) yr−1, or 3.5 % of the total Nd flow into the Mediterranean. The flux of Nd from partially dissolved atmospheric dusts was estimated at 5.2 × 106 g(Nd) yr−1, representing 5 % of the total Nd input, and 7.62 × 106 g(Nd) yr−1 comes from the Atlantic across the Strait of Gibraltar, i.e. 7.1 % of the total Nd input. The total quantity of Nd in the Mediterranean Sea was estimated to 7.28 × 109 g(Nd); this leads to a new calculated Nd residence time of ∼68 year. This work highlights that the impact of river discharge on [Nd] is localised near the catchments of the main rivers. In contrast, the atmospheric dust input has a basin-wide influence, correcting for a too-radiogenic εNd when only the BE input is considered and improving the agreement of simulated dissolved Nd concentration with field data. This work also suggests that εNd is sensitive to the spatial distribution of Nd in the atmospheric dust, and that the parameterisation of the vertical cycling (scavenging/remineralisation) considerably constrains the ability of the model to simulate the vertical profile of εNd.

ABSTRACT IRAS 04158+2805 has long been thought to be a very low mass T-Tauri star (VLMS) surrounded by a nearly edge-on, extremely large disc. Recent observations revealed that this source hosts a binary surrounded by an extended circumbinary disc with a central dust cavity. In this paper, we combine ALMA multiwavelength observations of continuum and 12CO line emission, with H α imaging and Keck astrometric measures of the binary to develop a coherent dynamical model of this system. The system features an azimuthal asymmetry detected at the western edge of the cavity in Band 7 observations and a wiggling outflow. Dust emission in ALMA Band 4 from the proximity of the individual stars suggests the presence of marginally resolved circumstellar discs. We estimate the binary orbital parameters from the measured arc of the orbit from Keck and ALMA astrometry. We further constrain these estimates using considerations from binary–disc interaction theory. We finally perform three SPH gas+dust simulations based on the theoretical constraints; we post-process the hydrodynamic output using radiative transfer Monte Carlo methods and directly compare the models with observations. Our results suggest that a highly eccentric e ∼ 0.5–0.7 equal mass binary, with a semimajor axis of ∼55 au, and small/moderate orbital plane versus circumbinary disc inclination θ ≲ 30° provides a good match with observations. A dust mass of ${\sim}1.5\times 10^{-4} \, {\rm M_\odot }$ best reproduces the flux in Band 7 continuum observations. Synthetic CO line emission maps qualitatively capture both the emission from the central region and the non-Keplerian nature of the gas motion in the binary proximity.

Abstract. Mineral dust aerosols exert a significant effect on both solar and terrestrial radiation. By absorbing and scattering the solar radiation aerosols reduce the amount of energy reaching the surface. In addition, aerosols enhance the greenhouse effect by absorbing and emitting outgoing longwave radiation. Desert dust forcing exhibits large regional and temporal variability due to its short lifetime and diverse optical properties, further complicating the quantification of the Direct Radiative Effect (DRE). The complexity of the links and feedbacks of dust on radiative transfer indicate the need of an integrated approach in order to examine these impacts. In order to examine these feedbacks, the SKIRON limited area model has been upgraded to include the RRTMG (Rapid Radiative Transfer Model – GCM) radiative transfer model that takes into consideration the aerosol radiative effects. It was run for a 6 yr period. Two sets of simulations were performed, one without the effects of dust and the other including the radiative feedback. The results were first evaluated using aerosol optical depth data to examine the capabilities of the system in describing the desert dust cycle. Then the aerosol feedback on radiative transfer has been quantified and the links between dust and radiation have been studied. The study has revealed a strong interaction between dust particles and solar and terrestrial radiation, with several implications on the energy budget of the atmosphere. A profound effect is the increased absorption (in the shortwave and longwave) in the lower troposphere and the induced modification of the atmospheric temperature profile. These feedbacks depend strongly on the spatial distribution of dust and have more profound effects where the number of particles is greater, such as near their source.

Introduction. It is accepted that the depth of heating of the dust/gas/air mixture by the radiation of combustion products SR is equal to the length LR of the free path of radiation in the mixture. Numerical simulation of combustion of a gas-air mixture that has inert particles, taking into account the re-radiation of heat by heated particles of the fresh mixture, led to ratio SR >> LR. In this work, the analytical assessment of ratio χS = SR/LR is performed.One-dimensional problem model. The co-authors determined stationary temperature distribution over the flow of initially cold monodisperse particles suspended in vacuum. Particle velocity V is directed toward a heat-radiating, absolutely black surface that is permeable by particles. Simplifying assumptions are used: radiation consists of two oppositely-directed flows of electromagnetic energy; interaction between particles and radiation is described in the approximation of geometric optics; the temperature inside the particle is the same. Problem solving. It is shown that χS is determined by V=Vcp / (εT 0,5, σTb)3 , where cp, εT, σ, Tb are, respectively, heat capacity per unit volume of the suspended matter, integral emissivity of the particle material, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and the surface temperature. For ≤ 2.8, re-emission can be neglected: χS ≈ 1. At ≤ 1.2, temperature distribution regulates re-emission: χS ≈ 5 –1/(2 – εT) >> 1.Solution discussion. The analytical solution satisfactorily describes the available numerical solutions and experimental data for the case of combustion of a dust/gas/air mixture after specifying the parameters of a simplified model: the radiating surface should be understood as the flame front, Tb is the combustion temperature, and cp is the overall heat capacity of the mixture. The estimate ≤ 1.2 indicates the final high temperature of the gas suspension, the possibility of its autoignition far from the flame, and the need to change initial assumptions when simulating re-emission.Conclusions. Analytical evaluations make it possible to employ ratios SR >> LR and SR ≈ LR for the suspension over a thermal radiation source in vacuum. Conditions for the application of the results of simplified simulation of re-emission to the combustion of a dust/gas/air mixture are formulated.

Abstract. The Terrestrial Systems Modeling Platform (TSMP) was extended with a chemical transport model and polarimetric radar forward operator to enable detailed studies of aerosol–cloud–precipitation interactions. The model was used at kilometer-scale (convection-permitting) resolution to simulate a deep convective storm event over Germany which produced large hail, high precipitation, and severe damaging winds. The ensemble model simulation was, in general, able to capture the storm structure, its evolution, and the spatial pattern of accumulated precipitation. However, the model was found to underestimate regions of high accumulated precipitation (> 35 mm) and convective area fraction in the early period of the storm. While the model tends to simulate too high reflectivity in the downdraft region of the storm above the melting layer (mostly contributed by graupel), the model also simulates very weak polarimetric signatures in this region, when compared to the radar observations. The above findings remained almost unchanged when using a narrower cloud drop size distribution (CDSD) acknowledging the missing feedback between aerosol physical and chemical properties and CDSD shape parameters. The kilometer-scale simulation showed that the strong updraft in the convective core produces aerosol-tower-like features, increasing the aerosol number concentrations and hence increasing the cloud droplet number concentration and reducing the mean cloud drop size. This could also be a source of discrepancy between the simulated polarimetric features like differential reflectivity (ZDR) and specific differential-phase (KDP) columns along the vicinity of the convective core compared to the X-band radar observations. However, the use of narrow CDSD did improve the simulation of ZDR columns. Besides, the evaluation of simulated trace gases and aerosols was encouraging; however, a low bias was observed for aerosol optical depth (AOD), which could be partly linked to an underestimation of dust mass in the forcing data associated with a Saharan dust event. This study illustrates the importance and the additional complexity associated with the inclusion of chemistry transport model when studying aerosol–cloud–precipitation interactions. But, along with polarimetric radar data for model evaluation, it allows us to identify and better constrain the traditional two-moment bulk cloud microphysical schemes used in the numerical weather prediction models for weather and climate.

Most of the early wind erosion research undertaken in Australia, concentrated on how wind erosion affects cultivated farm land. However, in the 1990's the focus of wind erosion research in Australia started to shift to include rangeland environments. Initially these rangeland experiments used experimental configurations that were developed for cultivated fields. This meant that in most cases a sampler was set up in the middle of a field and it was assumed that the data collected was representative of the field as a whole. It was also assumed that temporal changes in dust fluxes/concentration reflect overall changes in the land type erodibility and wind erosivity. However, recent experiments and field observations within the rangelands, of the Channel Country suggest that this assumption is not valid. These experiments and observations suggest that there are substantial spatial and temporal variations in erodibility within individual land types. Such variations complicate the interpretation of temporal and spatial erosion trends. In particular, this variability implies that it is difficult to compare sampler data between different wind erosion events. To begin quantifying and comparing sampler data between events within the rangeland environments, the Dust Source Interaction Simulation Model (DSism) was developed to simulate the effect that physical processes and spatial variations in erodibility have upon observed dust concentration pro- files. The modelling/simulation approach used is closely linked to experimental data via the extensive use of sensitivity testing. Another key feature of the DSism approach, is its flexibility in allowing different dust source areas to have particle emission characteristics. This combined sensitivity testing and simulation approach has provided new insights into the wind erosion processes. By using DSism, it has been possible to identify several key features of the wind erosion process within rangeland environments. The first observation is that spatial and temporal changes in erodibility produce distinct changes in both the vertical and crosswind dust concentration profiles. Further investigations, indicate that the dispersion processes in operation vary from event to event. In particular, the results presented here indicate that surface heating plays an important role in some wind erosion events. These results also suggest that even small variations in the vertical dust concentration profile can reflect temporal and spatial changes in processes and erodibility. Finally the simulation results show that the particle size distribution of a vertical dust concentration profile depends on (a) the processes in operation during a given event and (b) the spatial variation in the particle size emission characteristics of the various source areas. These findings have several important implications. In particular, they indicate that both the crosswind and vertical dust concentration profiles can be viewed as amalgamation of several distinct plumes from different dust source areas and that dust concentration profiles contain significant information about both the spatial distribution of sources and the processes in operation during any given event. Most field studies have used regression models to describe the variation in dust concentration with height. A problem with this approach is that it assumes that the variation in dust concentration with height, always has a given functional form (or shape) and that dust concentration always decreases with height. Field observations, indicate that this assumption is only valid for some events within rangeland environments and that dust concentration does not always decrease with height in these environments. In most cases, such variations from the regression fit have been assumed to be the result of experimental 'noise' (error) or spatial variations in erodibility. This thesis presents, modelling and field evidence, which suggests that such variations, are the result of a combination of spatial variations in erodibility and changes in thermal conditions.

The transport or the separation of solid particles or droplets suspended in a fluid flow is a common task in mechanical and process engineering. To improve machinery and physical processes (e.g. for coal combustion, reduction of NO_x and soot) an optimization of complex phenomena by simulation applying the fundamental conservation equations is required. Fluid-particle flows are characterized by the ratio of density of the two phases gamma=rho_P/rho_F, by the Stokes number St=tau_P/tau_F and by the loading in terms of void and mass fraction.
Those numbers (Stokes number, gamma) define the flow regime and which relevant forces are acting on the particle. Dependent on the geometrical configuration the particle-wall interaction might have a heavy impact on the mean flow structure. The occurrence of particle-particle collisions becomes also more and more important with the increase of the local void fraction of the particulate phase. With increase of the particle loading the interaction with the fluid phase can not been neglected and 2-way or even 4-way coupling between the continous and disperse phases has to be taken into account.
For dilute to moderate dense particle flows the Euler-Lagrange method is capable to resolve the main flow mechanism. An accurate computation needs unfortunately a high number of numerical particles (1,...,10^7) to get the reliable statistics for the underlying modelling correlations. Due to the fact that a Lagrangian algorithm cannot be vectorized for complex meshes the only way to finish those simulations in a reasonable time is the parallization applying the message passing paradigma.
Frank et al. describes the basic ideas for a parallel Eulererian-Lagrangian solver, which uses multigrid for acceleration of the flow equations. The performance figures are quite good, though only steady problems are tackled. The presented paper is aimed to the numerical prediction of time-dependend fluid-particle flows using the simultanous particle tracking approach based on the Eulerian-Lagrangian and the particle-source-in-cell (PSI-Cell) approach. It is shown in the paper that for the unsteady flow prediction efficiency and load balancing of the parallel numerical simulation is an even more pronounced problem in comparison with the steady flow calculations, because the time steps for the time integration along one particle trajectory are very small per one time step of fluid flow integration and so the floating point workload on a single processor node is usualy rather low.
Much time is spent for communication and waiting time of the processors, because for cold flow particle convection not very extensive calculations are necessary. One remedy might be a highspeed switch like Myrinet or Dolphin PCI/SCI (500 MByte/s), which could balance the relative high floating point performance of INTEL PIII processors and the weak capacity of the Fast-Ethernet communication network (100 Mbit/s) of the Chemnitz Linux Cluster (CLIC) used for the presented calculations. Corresponding to the discussed examples calculation times and parallel performance will be presented. Another point is the communication of many small packages, which should be summed up to bigger messages, because each message requires a startup time independently of its size. Summarising the potential of such a parallel algorithm, it will be shown that a Beowulf-type cluster computer is a highly competitve alternative to the classical main frame computer for the investigated Eulerian-Lagrangian simultanous particle tracking approach.

With the changing climate, fire-exclusion, and expansion of wildland-urban interfaces, the frequency and severity of wildfires are expected to increase, putting substantial stress on fire management and authorities to mitigate the risk of wildfires. Improved physical models in conjunction with advanced high-performance computing resources offer new opportunities for operational use in examining potential fire-spread scenarios and planning. This work presents an open-source, high-fidelity modelling framework for simulating large-scale wildfire scenarios, taking into consideration atmospheric/fire coupling, complex terrain, and heterogeneous fuel loading. The framework is implemented using the TensorFlow programming environment on tensor processing units (TPUs). TPUs are a dedicated high-performance computing architecture to accelerate machine-learning applications and high-performance scientific computing. This framework solves the Favre-filtered reacting Navier-Stokes equations and the unclosed terms describing turbulence/chemistry interaction and turbulence transport are modelled using large-eddy simulation (LES) closures. Wildfire dynamics is described by a one-step solid-fuel pyrolysis/combustion model that is coupled to atmospheric flow dynamics using a Boussinesq-type approximation. A second-order finite-difference discretization is employed in a variable-density, low-Mach number formulation to discretize the governing equations, and an immersed-boundary method is adapted to represent complex terrain. In conjunction with the coupled atmosphere/fire model and physical models for turbulence/atmosphere/fire interaction, the resulting simulation framework enables high-resolution simulations (with spatial resolution below 2m) of large-scale fires that cover up to ~100,000 acres. Following the summary of validation results against a prescribed fire experiment to assess the overall accuracy at well-controlled conditions, we employ this coupled atmosphere/fire modelling framework to simulate a large-scale wildfire scenario that is representative of the 2017 California Tubb’s fire. To this end, we extract the terrain of the North Bay region of Calistoga and Santa Rosa, spanning an area of 20×20 km2, and consider a North-Eastern wind. The simulation results illustrate the rapid fire-spread dynamics and the coupling of the fire with the terrain and atmosphere. With relevance to operational and research applications that include parametric studies to examine effects of wind, fuel-density, other environmental factors, and fire-management strategies, we discuss the scalability and further extensions of the physical fidelity towards enabling real-time applications on TPU-compute architectures.

Graphite dust is an important issue for the operation and maintenance of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR), because the transport of fission product (FP) is coupled closely with graphite dusts. For instance, vapor phase FP could condense as flowing through the steam generator (SG) and deposit on the surface of graphite dusts that are either air-borne or already deposited on SG tubes. In water ingress or loss-of-coolant accidents, these dusts may re-suspend and contribute to the source term. Despite the importance of graphite dusts in HTGRs, the transport and deposition of dust particle are far from being fully understood, neither particle-fluid nor particle-wall interactions. In this work we present a numerical study on the particle transport through upper 5 layers of SG tubes. Particularly, the particle impaction process is simulated by Finite Element Method (FEM) with adhesion and dissipation specially accounted. The FEM simulation predicts the critical adhesion velocity and restitution coefficient when rebound occurs. Then we substitute the particle impaction model into Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation of flow field and extract the deposition rate statistically. The result shows that for small particles (< 5 μm), the deposition rate is controlled by the collision rate, which is mainly determined by the interaction between turbulence and thermophoresis. The particle-vortex interaction is essentially important for the distribution of particles near wall and thus influences the deposition rate. For large particles the deposition rate is more affected by the sticking efficiency, which is simultaneously controlled by both the critical adhesion velocity and normal impaction velocity. Therefore, the deposition rate first increases then decreases with particle size and reaches maximum at about 5 μm.

An unsteady one-dimensional dynamic model has been developed at Georgia Tech to investigate the impact of stage characteristics as well as load distribution on the compression and expansion waves that develop prior to a surge event in a multistage axial compressor. In the developed model, each of the blade rows is replaced by a duct of varying cross-sectional area with force and work source terms. The source terms model the force and energy imparted by a blade row to the working fluid. The modeling assumes the flow to be inviscid, unsteady, compressible and axisymmetric. While rotating stall cannot be explicitly modeled in a 1D mean-line method, the effect of rotating stall can be captured by a judicious choice of source terms that reflects the loss of pumping capability of a stage. Conservation of mass, momentum and energy are applied to an elemental control volume resulting in one-dimensional quasi-linear Euler system of equations. A non-uniform grid and the second-order central difference Kurganov-Tadmor (KT) scheme are used to discretize the one-dimensional computational domain. The resulting ODEs are solved with an explicit second order Runge-Kutta solver. A throttle schedule is used to introduce perturbations at a selected operating condition in order to study flow oscillations that can lead to a stall event. The current study is aimed at validation of the developed flow solver using an industrial compressor database. Further, the current study is aimed at understanding the interaction between the stages with regards to pressure oscillations leading to stall.

Bulk products such as iron ore and coal are usually shipped directly from shore facilities using large bulk carriers. This often involves significant cost due to major dredging operations, long jetties, large storage sheds and the acquisition of large tracts of coastal land. The costs of direct shore to an ocean-going export vessel (OGV) loading often run into billions of dollars — prohibitive for small- to medium-scale mining operations, particularly in remote regions with only distant access to deep water ports. The current industry standard for mitigating these issues is transhipping; the bulk cargo is transported from a smaller shore based facility to the export vessel moored in deep water by a small feeder vessel. Transhipment, while mitigating many of these issues, does introduce other concerns with respect to limiting seastate, environmentally harmful dust and potential spillage during materials transfer. The Australian company Sea Transport Corporation and the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania are developing new technology for bulk ore transhipment: the floating harbour transhipper (FHT). The FHT is essentially a large floating warehouse with an aft well dock to support material transfer operations from the feeder vessel. The major advantages to the mining export industry are in the form of environmental and economic improvements, in some cases completely avoiding expensive dredging while minimising the environmentally invasive onshore infrastructure. In addition, the whole process is enclosed, therefore eliminating grab spillage and dust transport issues common to other transhipping methods. This paper presents an overview of the main hydrodynamic issues currently being investigated: primarily the interaction between multiple floating bodies close to one another in a seaway. The two primary ship-to-ship interactions that are being investigated are the effects experienced by the feeder vessel when it is docking or undocking within the FHT well dock and the interactions between the three vessels when operating in close proximity in an open seaway. A combination of physical scale model experiments and numerical techniques is employed, with a significant portion of the experimental program dedicated to the validation of the numerical simulation codes used to investigate the behaviour of the vessels. ShipMo3D is an object based library developed by DRDC for the purpose of analysing the seakeeping performance of vessels operating in a seaway in either the frequency or time domain. The capabilities of ShipMo3D are applied to this novel application in an attempt to provide realistic simulations of the interaction between the vessels of the FHT system. DualSPHysics, an open source Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code, is being applied to the domain within the very restricted water environment of the FHT well dock to investigate the fluid flow behaviour and the effect that this has on the feeder vessel when entering/exiting.

Three-dimensional, compressible, unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are solved to investigate the unsteady flow behavior in a transonic centrifugal compressor. The computational model is a high compression ratio centrifugal compressor (4:1) consisted of an inlet duct, an impeller (15 main blades and 15 splitters) and a diffuser vane with 24 two-dimensional wedge vanes. The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the ability of a hybrid scale-adaptive simulation (SAS) turbulent model to characterize the transient flow structures within the compressor passages. The main idea of SAS approach, an improved URANS (unsteady Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes) model, is based on the introduction of von Karman length scale into the turbulent scale equation which results in LES-like behavior in unsteady regions of the flow field. A numerical sensitivity test is performed to validate the computational results in terms of pressure ratio and compressor efficiency. Instantaneous and mean flow field analyses are presented in the impeller and the vaned diffuser. Applying transient simulations, it is shown that the interaction between the pressure waves and the surface pressure of the diffuser blades leads to a pulsating behavior within the diffuser. Moreover, spectral analysis is evaluated to analyze the BPF tonal noise as the main noise source of centrifugal compressors. In addition, the current SAS results are compared with those of the URANS-SST (shear stress transport) approach to show the ability of SAS approach in the prediction of the turbulent structures where the SAS model leads to a much better resolution of the unsteady fluctuations. This study shows that the current SAS approach, as an alternative to the existing hybrid RANS/LES methods, is promising in terms of prediction of transient phenomena like LES, but with a substantially reduced turn-around time.

Struts and bifurcations installed in the bypass duct of aeroengines can deteriorate the aerodynamic and acoustic performances of the fan and therefore should be accounted for in the design process. This paper compares two 3-D unsteady RANS simulations of a fan model obtained respectively for an isolated and an installed configuration. In the installed case the strut–bifurcation system creates a strong disturbance of the steady flowfield. This involves a deformation of the rotor wakes during their convection, so that their impingement on the stator generates pressure fluctuations acting as sound sources with strong scattered azimuthal mode orders. The scattering is found by analyzing the acoustic field upstream and downstream of the fan stage. The present results are obtained while the rotor is supersonic (Mtip,rel ≈ 1.24). Since all the blades are identical, no frequency scattering (buzz-saw) does happen in the simulations.

Research and/or Engineering Question/Objective: The fine dust contribution (<10µm) of motor vehicles represents a considerable health risk for people in urban areas. Due to an increasing percentage of electric vehicles, exhaust emissions are steadily reduced. Consequently, particles from non-exhaust sources (brake, tire and road ware) are considered to be the future main vehicle related pollutant. While regenerative braking, tungsten carbide coatings and filter devices can effectively reduce brake wear emissions, there is currently no methodology available in order to reduce tire wear particles, road abrasion and resuspension. In addition, the tire is one of the main sources of environmental microplastic pollution. Although there are initial approaches to determine the emission characteristics of tire and road ware particles, there is a lack of basic understanding of the underlying physical processes. Methodology: The particle flow around the vehicle wheelhouse is dominated by highly dynamic vortex structures. The numerical flow simulation (CFD) is a well suited tool for the investigation of these processes and allows a detailed analysis of the particle-flow interaction. Within this paper, a CFD flow model of a vehicle wheelhouse is presented, which analytically describes the underlying physical effects of particle dispersion by the vehicle tire. The CFD model was applied in order to define a suitable measurement strategy for the measurement of TRW particles based on a measurement vehicle. Results: In order to develop a CFD Modell for tire-induced particle emissions, comprehensive analysis of mesh generation, geometric influencing factors and turbulence models was conducted. An essential element of the presented model is the modelling of the wheel rotation, tire-road contact and tire-profile related effects. In addition, particle models were adapted according to the physical properties of tire and road wear particles. In a second step, the CFD methodology was applied in order to design a constant volume sampling system (CVS) which ensures a maximum sampling and transport efficiency for TRW particles. Limitations of this study: In general, numerical simulation requires strong simplification of the physical problem and can cover aspects of the flow and particle behavior only partially. Thus, more experiments are necessary to fully validate the CFD model. What does the paper offer that is new in the field in comparison to other works of the author: The paper offers a new CFD-based tire and road wear model including flow processes in proximity to the tire-road interface, in order to describe tire induced particle emissions. Conclusion: Within this paper a novel CFD-based methodology is presented whereby special emphasis was placed towards the modelling of tire-induced particle emissions. This model was applied in order to design a constant volume sampling system that ensures a maximum sampling as well as transport efficiency for TRW particle measurement.

Most of the noise prediction methods, which has already been used, only applicable at low frequency range, below the first transverse duct mode. A developed method at this work, which suggested by Schram, avoided many simplification assumptions and is quite powerful for high Helmholtz numbers, i.e. when the turbulence/body interaction region is acoustically non-compact. By using numerical methods and an appropriate Green function, the method is applied to the prediction of sound in a duct obstructed by a diaphragm. The source fluctuations of the flow field are computed by a large-eddy simulation (LES) and are fed to the following acoustical computation as input data. The predicted power spectrum shows a fairly good agreement with a direct noise computation (DNC) results.

The operation of pebble bed reactors, including fuel circulation, can generate graphite dust, which in turn could be a concern for internal components; and to the near field in the remote event of a break in the coolant circuits. The design of the reactor system must, therefore, take the dust into account and the operation must include contingencies for dust removal and for mitigation of potential releases. Such planning requires a proper assessment of the dust inventory. This paper presents a predictive model of dust generation in an operating pebble bed with recirculating fuel. In this preliminary work the production model is based on the use of the assumption of proportionality between the dust production and the normal force and distance traveled. The model developed in this work uses the slip distances and the inter-pebble forces computed by the authors’ PEBBLES. The code, based on the discrete element method, simulates the relevant static and kinetic friction interactions between the pebbles as well as the recirculation of the pebbles through the reactor vessel. The interaction between pebbles and walls of the reactor vat is treated using the same approach. The amount of dust produced is proportional to the wear coefficient for adhesive wear (taken from literature) and to the slip volume, the product of the contact area and the slip distance. The paper will compare the predicted volume with the measured production rates. The simulation tallies the dust production based on the location of creation. Two peak production zones from intra pebble forces are predicted within the bed. The first zone is located near the pebble inlet chute due to the speed of the dropping pebbles. The second peak zone occurs lower in the reactor with increased pebble contact force due to the weight of supported pebbles. This paper presents the first use of a Discrete Element Method simulation of pebble bed dust production.

The liner of a gas turbine combustor is a very flexible structure that is exposed to the pressure oscillations that occur in the combustor. These pressure oscillations can be of very high amplitude due to thermoacoustic instability, when the fluctuations of the rate of heat release and the acoustic pressure waves amplify each other. The liner structure is a dynamic mechanical system that vibrates at its eigenfrequencies and at the frequencies by which it is forced by the pressure oscillations to which it is exposed. On the other hand the liner vibrations force a displacement of the flue gas near the wall in the combustor. The displacement is very small but this acts like a distributed acoustic source which is proportional to the liner wall acceleration. Hence liner and combustor are a coupled elasto-acoustic system. When this is exposed to a limit cycle oscillation the liner may fail due to fatigue. In this paper the method and the results will be presented of the partitioned simulation of the coupled acousto-elastic system composed of the liner and the flue gas domain in the combustor. The partitioned simulation uses separate solvers for the flow domain and the structural domain, that operate in a coupled way. In this work 2-way fluid structure interaction is studied for the case of a model combustor for the operating conditions 40–60 kW with equivalence ratio of 0.625. This is done in the framework of the LIMOUSINE project. Computational fluid dynamics analysis is performed to obtain the thermal loading of the combustor liner and finite element analysis renders the temperature, stress distribution and deformation in the liner. The software used is ANSYS workbench V13.0 software, in which the information (pressure and displacement) is also exchanged between fluid and structural domain transiently.

An electron-phonon interaction model is proposed and applied to the transient thermal transport simulation during electrostatic discharge (ESD) event in the NMOS transistor. The high electron energy induced by the ESD in the transistor is transferred to the lattice phonons through electron-phonon interaction in the local region of the transistor. Due to this fact, a hot spot turns up, the size of which is much smaller than the phonon mean free path in the silicon layer. The full phonon dispersion model based on the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) with the relaxation time approximation is applied to describe the interactions among different phonon branches and different phonon frequencies. The Joule heating by the electronphonon scattering is modeled through the intervalley and intravalley processes by introducing the average electron energy. In the simulation, the electron-phonon interaction model is used in the hot spot region, and then after a quasi-equilibrium state is achieved there, the temperature of lattice phonons in the silicon is calculated by using the phonon-phonon interaction model. The revolution of peak temperature in the hot spot during the ESD event is simulated and compared to that obtained by the previous full phonon dispersion model which treats the electron-phonon scattering as a volumetric heat source. The results show that the lower group velocity phonon modes (i.e. higher frequency) and optical mode of negligible group velocity obtain the highest energy density from electrons during the ESD event, which induces the devices melting phenomenon. The thermal response of phonon is also investigated, and it is found that the ratio of the phonon group velocity to the phonon specific heat can account for the phonon thermal response. If the ratio is higher than 2, the phonon have a good response to the heat input changes.
