Title报告题目: Influence of Turbulence Models in Numerical Simulation of Incipient and Deep Rotating Stall Characteristics in a Mixed-Flow Pump

Abstract内容摘要: Rotating stall is an unstable phenomenon, which has an important influence on the performance of a mixed-flow pump. In this paper, the internal flow characteristics and the energy performance of a mixed-flow pump in incipientand deep stall condition are numerically simulated using three turbulence models, namely the standard k-ε, k-ω and SSTk-ωturbulence model. The numerical results are analyzed and compared with the experimental results from an energy performance test and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The analysis of the results shows that the turbulence models have significant influence on predicting the stall characteristics. The hump zone calculated by the SST k-ωturbulence model is more prominent than that obtained by using the k-εand k-ω models; however the flow rate condition at the lowest point of the hump zone has little difference in the results from various turbulence models. The simulations with SSTk-ωmodel can better capture the backflow in the end wall regionand separated flow and stall vortex in the mixed-flow pump compared to the other two models, and the SSTk-ωmodel has better prediction ability for the uneven spatial distribution of the low pressure area and the change of pressure gradient due to initial stall. Furthermore, the efficiency of the pump and stall flow field predicted by the SST k-ωmodelgives the best agreement with the experiment data.

Title报告题目: Living Microgrids – Energy flowing from inside out

Abstract内容摘要: This talk is about the microgrid concept, so how can we produce, store and consume energy locally and the relationship with our life philosophies concern that to change outside world, we need to change from inside out. The talk give some examples of how these technologies are impacting our daily lives with solar PV in our rooftops, electrical vehicles in our garages and home energy storage systems. The way we are also conceiving energy generation outside, in the big grid, is now taking many ideas from the microgrid concept, and more than ever, grid forming concepts are starting to be proposed in large PV and windfarms – some examples of projects will be explained. The same way, many examples and technologies for smart homes will be shown, integrating the microgrid technology in our daily lives all together IoT electronic devices, wearables and e-health systems, including smart devices to practice mindfulness.
