In global efforts to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector, novel bio-hybrid liquid fuels from renewable energy and carbon sources can be a major form of energy for future propulsion systems due to their high energy density. A fundamental understanding of the spray and mixing performance of the new fuel candidates in combustion systems is necessary to design and develop the fuels for advanced combustion concepts. In the fuel design process, a large number of candidates is required to be screened to arrive at potential fuels for further detailed investigations. For such a screening process, three-dimensional (3D) simulation models are computationally too expensive and hence unfeasible. Therefore, in this paper, we present a fast, reduced-order model (ROM) for inert sprays. The model is based on the cross-sectionally averaged spray (CAS) model derived by Wan (1997) from 3D multiphase equations. The original model was first tested against a wide range of conditions and different fuels. The discrepancies between the CAS model and experimental data are addressed by integrating state-of-the-art breakup and evaporation models. A transport equation for vapor mass fraction is proposed, which is important for evaporation modeling. Furthermore, the model is extended to consider polydisperse droplets by modeling the droplet size distribution by commonly used presumed probability density functions, such as Rosin-Rammler, lognormal, and gamma distributions. The improved CAS model is capable of predicting trends in the macroscopic spray characteristics for a wide range of conditions and fuels. The computational cost of the CAS model is lower than the 3D simulation methods by up to 6 orders of magnitude depending on the method. This enables the model to be used not only for the rapid screening of novel fuel candidates, but also for other applications, where ROMs are useful.

This paper proposes a deep-learning based generalized reduced-order model (ROM) that can provide a fast and accurate prediction of the glottal flow during normal phonation. The approach is based on the assumption that the vibration of the vocal folds can be represented by a universal kinematics equation (UKE), which is used to generate a glottal shape library. For each shape in the library, the ground truth values of the flow rate and pressure distribution are obtained from the high-fidelity Navier-Stokes (N-S) solution. A fully-connected deep neural network (DNN)is then trained to build the empirical mapping between the shapes and the flow rate and pressure distributions. The obtained DNN based reduced-order flow solver is coupled with a finite-element method (FEM) based solid dynamics solver for FSI simulation of phonation. The reduced-order model is evaluated by comparing to the Navier-Stokes solutions in both statics glottal shaps and FSI simulations. The results demonstrate a good prediction performance in accuracy and efficiency.
This work presents a new multiphase SPH model that includes the shifting algorithm and a variable smoothing length formalism to simulate multi-phase flows with accuracy and proper interphase management. The implementation was performed in the DualSPH ysics code and validated for different canonical experiments, such as the single-phase and multiphase Poiseuille and Couette test cases. The method is accurate even for the multiphase case for which two phases are simulated. The shifting algorithm and the variable smoothing length formalism has been applied in the multiphase SPH model to improve the numerical results at the interphase even when it is highly deformed and non-linear effects become important. The obtained accuracy in the validation tests and the good interphase definition in the instability cases indicate an important improvement in the numerical results compared with single-phase and multiphase models where the shifting algorithm and the variable smoothing length formalism are not applied.
In this paper a fully Eulerian solver for the study of multiphase flows for simulating the propagation of surface gravity waves over submerged bodies is presented. We solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the volume of fluid t echnique for the modeling of the liquid phases with the interface, an immersed body method for the solid bodies and an iterative strong-coupling procedure for the fluid-structure interaction. The flow incompressibility is enforced via the solution of a Poisson equation which, owing to the density jump across the interfaces of the liquid phases, has to resort to the splitting procedure of Dodd & Ferrante [12]. The solver is validated through comparisons against classical test cases for fluid-structure interaction like migration of particles in pressure-driven channel, multiphase flows, water exit of a cylinder and a good agreement is found for all tests. Furthermore, we show the application of the solver to the case of a surface gravity wave propagating over a submerged reversed pendulum and verify that the solver can reproduce the energy exchange between the wave and the pendulum. Finally the three-dimensional spilling breaking of a wave induced by a submerged sphere is considered.
In recent years, there have been a surge in applications of neural networks (NNs) in physical sciences. Although various algorithmic advances have been proposed, there are, thus far, limited number of studies that assess the interpretability of neura l networks. This has contributed to the hasty characterization of most NN methods as black boxes and hindering wider acceptance of more powerful machine learning algorithms for physics. In an effort to address such issues in fluid flow modeling, we use a probabilistic neural network (PNN) that provide confidence intervals for its predictions in a computationally effective manner. The model is first assessed considering the estimation of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) coefficients from local sensor measurements of solution of the shallow water equation. We find that the present model outperforms a well-known linear method with regard to estimation. This model is then applied to the estimation of the temporal evolution of POD coefficients with considering the wake of a NACA0012 airfoil with a Gurney flap and the NOAA sea surface temperature. The present model can accurately estimate the POD coefficients over time in addition to providing confidence intervals thereby quantifying the uncertainty in the output given a particular training data set.
In the present study, we propose a new surrogate model, called common kernel-smoothed proper orthogonal decomposition (CKSPOD), to efficiently emulate the spatiotemporal evolution of fluid flow dynamics. The proposed surrogate model integrates and ex tends recent developments in Gaussian process learning, high-fidelity simulations, projection-based model reduction, uncertainty quantification, and experimental design, rendering a systematic, multidisciplinary framework. The novelty of the CKSPOD emulation lies in the construction of a common Gram matrix, which results from the Hadamard product of Gram matrices of all observed design settings. The Gram matrix is a spatially averaged temporal correlation matrix and contains the temporal dynamics of the corresponding sampling point. The common Gram matrix synthesizes the temporal dynamics by transferring POD modes into spatial functions at each observed design setting, which remedies the phase-difference issue encountered in the kernel-smoothed POD (KSPOD) emulation, a recent fluid flow emulator proposed in Chang et al. (2020). The CKSPOD methodology is demonstrated through a model study of flow dynamics of swirl injectors with three design parameters. A total of 30 training design settings and 8 validation design settings are included. Both qualitative and quantitative results show that the CKSPOD emulation outperforms the KSPOD emulation for all validation cases, and is capable of capturing small-scale wave structures on the liquid-film surface faithfully. The turbulent kinetic energy prediction using CKSPOD reveals lower predictive uncertainty than KSPOD, thereby allowing for more accurate and precise flow predictions. The turnaround time of the CKSPOD emulation is about 5 orders of magnitude faster than the corresponding high-fidelity simulation, which enables an efficient and scalable framework for design exploration and optimization.
