项目摘要

Air entrainment in free-surface flows is ubiquitous in eco-hydraulics. The entrained air influences the dissolved oxygen level and is very useful in water treatment to sustain microorganisms for water purification and in rivers and streams for sustaining a healthy aquatic life. However, excessive air entrainment in fish passages can result in gas-bubble disease and adversely affect fish migration. Aeration also occurs in oceans during the wave breaking process. Wave energy is said to be the largest source of renewable energy and could contribute 10% of the global electricity demand by 2050. Methods to extract the energy from the wave breaking process needs to be explored. These examples highlight the practical relevance of studying air-water flows. Self-aeration is an uncontrolled process and the dynamics of air-water flows is complex. Researchers have largely studied air-water flows experimentally and to a limited extent using numerical tools. While the studies have brought forth the complexity in the flows, the internal turbulence mechanism is not fully understood. This is due to the limitations in the commonly used single-phase flow instruments, which need to be improved or modified for use in air-water flows. The Achilles heel in the computational study of air-water flows is the air-entrainment model. To achieve success, an improved understanding of the physical processes that govern the flow is required. With the availability of improved instrumentation and enhanced computational facilities, it is now possible to begin a research program to develop practical tools that are required to predict the supersaturation of gases in rivers, to prevent fish-kill and to reduce odour in urban sewer systems.A novel experimental and numerical research program is proposed to predict/control turbulence and air entrainment in free-surface flows. We will focus on flow fields that represent most of the complexities that one encounters in practical situations. We have chosen 3 flow fields: Hydraulic Jumps, Fish Passages and Breaking Waves. These flows have common features: high turbulence, free-surface breakup, air entrainment followed by bubble generated turbulence. Experimental studies using Bubble Image Velocimetry supported by complementary numerical modeling will be used.The major goals include: (i) Improve our understanding of aerated flows by conducting experimental studies using state-of-the-art instrumentation and (ii) Develop computational fluid dynamics based models suitable for air-water flows. The physical processes that are responsible for aeration, air bubble interactions and breakup will be analyzed in the flow fields. The study will aid to improve the design of drop shafts, fish passages, spillways and urban hydraulic systems. The new tools will help to reduce future reliance on expensive physical model testing. Over the 5-year cycle, 14 HQP (4 PhD, 5 MSc, 5 BSc) will be trained.
在生态水力学中,自由面流中的空气夹带是普遍存在的。携带的空气影响溶解氧水平,在水处理中非常有用,可以维持水净化中的微生物,也可以维持河流和溪流中健康的水生生物。然而,鱼类通道中过多的空气夹带会导致气泡病,并对鱼类洄游产生不利影响。在波浪破碎的过程中,海洋中也会发生曝气。据说波浪能是最大的可再生能源,到2050年将占全球电力需求的10%。需要探索从破波过程中提取能量的方法。这些例子突出了研究空气-水流动的实际意义。自曝气是一个不受控制的过程,空气-水流动的动力学是复杂的。研究人员对空气-水流动进行了大量的实验研究,并在有限的范围内使用了数值工具。虽然这些研究揭示了流动的复杂性,但对内部湍流的机理还没有完全了解。这是由于常用的单相流仪器的局限性,需要对其进行改进或修改以用于空气-水流动。空气-水流动计算研究的致命弱点是空气夹带模型。为了取得成功,需要对控制流的物理过程有更好的理解。有了改进的仪器和增强的计算设施,现在有可能开始一项研究计划,开发实用工具,以预测河流中气体的过饱和,防止鱼类死亡,减少城市下水道系统的气味。提出了一种新的实验和数值研究程序来预测/控制自由表面流动中的湍流和空气夹带。我们将集中讨论流场,它代表了人们在实际情况中遇到的大多数复杂性。我们选择了3个流场:液压跳跃,鱼通道和破浪。这些流动具有共同的特征:高湍流度,自由表面破裂,空气夹带,然后是气泡产生的湍流。实验研究将采用气泡成像测速技术,并辅以互补数值模拟。主要目标包括:(i)通过使用最先进的仪器进行实验研究,提高我们对加气流动的理解;(ii)开发适合于空气-水流动的基于计算流体动力学的模型。在流场中分析了导致曝气、气泡相互作用和破裂的物理过程。这项研究将有助于改善落井、鱼类通道、溢洪道和城市液压系统的设计。新工具将有助于减少未来对昂贵的物理模型测试的依赖。在5年的周期内,将培训14名HQP(4名博士,5名硕士,5名理学士)。
