Dynamic fluid-solid interactions are widely found in chemical engineering, such as in particle-laden flows, which usually contain complex moving boundaries. The immersed boundary method (IBM) is a convenient approach to handle fluid-solid interactions with complex geometries. In this work, Uhlmann's direct-forcing IBM is improved and implemented on a supercomputer with CPU-GPU hybrid architec- ture. The direct-forcing IBM is modified as follows: the Poisson's equation for pressure is solved before evaluation of the body force, and the force is only distributed to the Cartesian grids inside the immersed boundary. A multidirect forcing scheme is used to evaluate the body force. These modifications result in a divergence-free flow field in the fluid domain and the no-slip boundary condition at the immersed boundary simultaneously. This method is implemented in an explicit finite-difference fractional-step scheme, and validated by 2D simulations of lid-driven cavity flow, Couette flow between two concentric cylinders and flow over a circular cylinder. Finally, the method is used to simulate the sedimentation of two circular particles in a channel. The results agree very well with previous experimental and numerical data, and are more accurate than the conventional direct-forcing method, especially in the vicinity of a moving boundary.

As one of the most promising clean alternative fuels, natural gas has been widely used in automobile engines. However, due to the slow burning velocity of natural gas and its poor lean-burn ability, hydrogen is often added to improve its combustion behavior. Researches on the fundamental laminar premixed flame characteristics of CH4/H2 blends are of great significance to understand the combustion process in practical combustors. The intrinsic instability of laminar flame is one of the classic issues in flame dynamics, which presents the dynamic response of laminar premixed flamelets to weak perturbations. By studying dynamic mechanism of intrinsic instability, we can estimate the burning velocity more accurately and gain a deeper insight into the turbulent combustion process in spark ignition engines. In this study, the cellular instabilities of laminar premixed CH4/H2/air flat flames were studied using McKenna burner with OH-PLIF technique. It was found that the addition of H2 can broaden the lean combustion limit on flat flame burner with which the cellular instabilities were brought. The digital and OH-PLIF images were obtained to calculate the quantitative parameters of cellular length scale, which is associated with the properties of fuel mixtures such as Lewis number, Markstein number et al. Through the theoretic analysis, we make a thorough investigation on the mechanism about how the cellular scales were determined.

In this paper, a model for fast coal pyrolysis in a cocurrent downer reactor is developed, in which both hydrodynamics and coal pyrolysis kinetics are simultaneously considered. The results of simulations based on this model display reasonable agreement with experimental data obtained using Huolinhe coal as the feedstock, and this model is therefore suitable for predicting the fast pyrolysis of specific coal types. A series of simulations of fast coal pyrolysis in a cocurrent downer demonstrated that coal devolatilization is almost complete in the inlet region within a time span of 0.4 s, and that higher temperatures improve the pyrolysis efficiency. However, the yield of liquid products is decreased with increasing pyrolysis temperatures, especially above 670 ℃, because of additional cracking of the liquids.

Three‐component mixtures (diblock copolymer/metal ion/oligoligand) can assemble into micellar particles owing to a combination of supramolecular polymerization and electrostatic complex formation. Such particles cover a large range of compositions, but the electrostatic forces keeping them together make them rather susceptible to disintegration by added salt. Now it is shown how the salt stability can be tuned continuously by employing both a bis‐ligand and a tris‐ligand, and varying the ratio of these in the mixture. For magnetic ions such as Mn II and Fe III , the choice of the multiligand also affects the ion/water interaction and, hence, the magnetic relaxivity. As an example, Mn II ‐based nanoparticles with a very high longitudinal relaxivity (10.8 m m −1 s −1 ) were investigated that are not only biocompatible but also feature strong contrast enhancement in target organs (liver, kidney), as shown by T 1 ‐weighted in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

We simulated rapid flow in transient plane Couette flows of granular particles using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) solutions of a set of continuum equations, This simulation was performed to test the viability of SPH in solving the equations for the solid phase of the two-fluid model associated with fluidization. We found that SPH requires the handling of fewer particles in simulating the collective behavior of rapid granular flow, thereby bolstering expectations of solving the equations for the solid phase in the two-fluid modeling of fluidization. Further work is needed to investigate the effect of terms describing pressure and viscous stress of solids on stability in simulations.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)spectroscopy has been considered as a promising way to realize real-time, in-situ and ultrasensitive analysis of chemoand biochemical molecules in different applications even in intracellular or aqueous environments. In this work, polymersupported novel Ag nano-necklaces(AgNLs) as flexible SERS substrates were fabricated for ultrasensitive chemical and biological detection. With the stringing of dense 'hot spot' in three-dimension, AgNLs located on polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) work like the removable and reusable 'tip'on the surface of analytes with different morphologies and conditions. The novel substrate shows ultra-high enhancement factor(as high as 109) with excellent reproducibility and long-term stability(7 months) in an aqueous *** further functionalizing with p-mercaptobenzoic acid, AgNLs/PDMS elastomer also reveals sensitive and consistent pH detection ability over the wide range of pH4.0–9.0, indicating their wide applications in biological and environmental fields. This work provides a feasible strategy for designing ultrasensitive, reproducible and flexible SERS substrate for practical detection.

Ionic liquids(ILs) are new solvents that represent a breakthrough for absorption and conversion of CO2. However, there has been little research on the hydrodynamics of gas-IL systems in stirred tanks, and this has become a bottleneck for development of IL-based reactors. In the present study, a CO2-IL([bmim][BF4]) flow in a stirred tank was studied using computational fluid dynamics(CFD). A new drag coefficient model that is specific to a gas-ionic liquid system and a population balance model(PBM) were adopted to describe the bubble behavior, such as gas holdup and bubble size evolution, precisely. The predicted results for the total gas holdup and local Sauter diameter agree well with the experimental data. The influences of the gassing rate, agitation speed, and temperature on local gas holdup, bubble size distribution, and interfacial area for the CO2-[bmim][BF4] system were also investigated. The results of this study provide fundamental information for designing gas-IL systems for stirred tanks.
