Introduction
Changes of air-flow field depends on a number of factors, as the form of superstructure, the change of the relative wind direction and speed[1], There are a lot of experts who have studied at home, such as Jiang Zhi-fang in Chinese ships research center and Lu Chao do a lot of research work in this area, at the mean time they achieve good effect, so that can prove CFD method can accurately predict the ship’s air-flow field, but the analysis of the change of the movement of air-flow field in the wave is still in the preliminary stage at present.
In this paper, we will use of FLUENT software to calculate the movement of air through the ship from the deck of the current field, we will take the Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier in the United States for reference, we set up with the original ship 1:1 model for numerical simulation analysis, emphatically analyzed the wind condition when the ship motion in waves at the 3 degrees and equilibrium position, the effect on the flow field on the deck and through the numerical analysis of the results and the image display airflow field under three kinds of motion characteristics are compared and evaluated.

Based on the numerical simulation of the three-dimensional flow field in blade channel,the aerodynamic loadand the stressstrain of the blade can be more accurately obtained.
Pressure distributions around the surfaces of main blade and splitter blade are calculated through CFX.Then the data will be delivered to the Static Structure module in ANSYS/ workbench using the interface between CFX and ANSYS.Load data is transferred from CFD mesh nodes to an ANSYS structure mesh nodes;the mapped forces on the blades surface are almost equal to the computed forces from CFD results.
What’s more,Load Transfer Summary shows thatabout 98% of mechanical nodes were mapped to the CFD surface, and the remaining nodes are mapped to the closest edge or node.

The results show that: (1)Using the sense organ’s symmetry characteristic, a half model is built first, which is convenient for modelling and observing the simulation results;(2) Gridding should be meshed more densely where fluid grads is large, which is helpful of saving simulation time and improving precision.
The FLOTRAN CFD analysis function of ANSYS program is chosen, because it is an advanced tool used to analysis the two and three dimensional flowing fields [2].
Considering the factors above, the whole volume is divided into 204805 units, which makes simulation simple and fast, as shown in Fig.4.
According to the finite element simulation results, the airflow velocity of half model almost reduces to 50% of the whole model.

There are plenty of related test and simulation.
The result from fluid field is just the boundary conditions of structure simulation.
Therefore, by CFD simulation under multiple conditions, distribution and changing feature are got and can be analyzed to summary to a typical load model.

Key words: air nozzle; filtering bag; numerical simulation; pulse cleaning
Abstract: With the computational fluid dynamics (usually being called “computational fluid dynamics” for CFD) method, the velocity field between the air nozzle and the filtering bag and the velocity distribution inside the filtering bag are computed when changing the distance between the air nozzle and the filtering bag.
According to the simulation result, this article has analyzed the influence of different distances between the air nozzle and the filtering bag and different injecting times on the dust-cleaning effect, and supplied theoretical basis to design the optimal pulse bag filter.
The simulation indicates that 200mm is the best distance
(2) In the process of cleaning, the filtering bag shakes in waves from the top of the bag to the bottom, which is consistent with the actual situation, so that the injection inside the filtering bag can be analyzed with numerical simulation
The simulation indicates that the optimal injecting time is 120ms.
