Pulsations of Three Rapidly Oscillating Ap Stars TIC 96315731,TIC72392575,and TIC 318007796

We analyze the frequencies of three known roAp stars,TIC 96315731,TIC 72392575,and TIC 318007796,using the light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.For TIC 96315731,the rotational and pulsational frequencies are 0.1498360 day^(-1)and 165.2609 day^(-1),respectively.In the case of TIC 72392575,the rotational frequency is 0.25551 day^(-1).We detect a quintuplet of pulsation frequencies with a center frequency of135.9233 day^(-1),along with two signals within the second pair of rotational sidelobes of the quintuplet separated by the rotation frequency.These two signals may correspond to the frequencies of a dipole mode.In TIC318007796,the rotational and pulsational frequencies are 0.2475021 day^(-1),192.73995 day^(-1),and196.33065 day^(-1),respectively.Based on the oblique pulsator model,we calculate the rotation inclination(i)and magnetic obliquity angle(b)for the stars,which provide the geometry of the pulsation modes.Combining the phases of the frequency quintuplets,the pulsation amplitude and phase modulation curves,and the results of spherical harmonic decomposition,we conclude that the pulsation modes of frequency quintuplets in TIC96315731,TIC 72392575,and TIC 318007796 correspond to distorted dipole mode,distorted quadrupole mode,and distorted dipole mode,respectively.

Real-time observation of soliton pulsation in net normal-dispersion dissipative soliton fiber laser

We present experimental observations of soliton pulsations in the net normal-dispersion fiber laser by using the dispersive Fourier transform(DFT) technique. According to the pulsating characteristics, the soliton pulsations are classified as visible and invisible soliton pulsations. The visible soliton pulsation is converted from single-into dual-soliton pulsation with the common characteristics of energy oscillation and bandwidth breathing. The invisible soliton pulsation undergoes periodic variation in the spectral profile and peak power but remains invariable in pulse energy. The reason for invisible soliton pulsation behavior is periodic oscillation of the pulse inside the soliton molecule. These results could be helpful in deepening our understanding of the soliton pulsation phenomena.

Pulsation Analysis of High-AmplitudeδScuti Stars with TESS

In this work,the pulsation analysis is performed on 83 high-amplitudeδScuti stars(HADS),which have been observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.The results show that 49 of these HADS show single-mode pulsation,27 of them show radial double-modes pulsation(in which 22 of them pulsate with the fundamental and first overtone modes and five of them pulsate with the first and second overtone modes),and seven of them show radial triple-modes pulsation(three of which are newly confirmed triple-mode HADS).The histogram of the fundamental periods and the ratios between the fundamental and first overtone periods show bimodal structures,which might be caused by the stellar evolution in this specific phase.Most of the radial triple-mode HADS have a fundamental amplitude of 41-54 mmag,and 50%of them have similar amplitudes of the fundamental and first overtone pulsation modes.All these hints require further confirmation not only in observations with more HADS samples,but also in theoretical models with suitable treatments of stellar evolution and pulsation.

Research Status, Critical Technologies, and Development Trends of Hydraulic Pressure Pulsation Attenuator

Hydraulic pumps are a positive displacement pump whose working principle causes inherent output flow pulsation.Flow pulsation produces pressure pulsation when encountering liquid resistance.Pressure pulsation spreads in the pipeline and causes vibration,noise,damage,and even pipeline rupture and major safety accidents.With the development of airborne hydraulic systems with high pressure,power,and flow rate,the hazards of vibration and noise caused by pressure pulsation are also amplified,severely restricting the application and development of hydraulic systems.In this review paper,the mechanism,harm,and suppression method of pressure pulsation in hydraulic systems are analyzed.Then,the classification and characteristics of pulsation attenuators according to different working principles are described.Furthermore,the critical technology of simulation design,matching method with airborne piston pumps,and preliminary design method of pulsation attenuators are proposed.Finally,the development trend of pulsation attenuators is prospected.This paper provides a reference for the research and application of pressure pulsation attenuators.

Vibration analysis of large bulb tubular pump house under pressure pulsations

A 3D finite element model of the Huaiyin third pumping station of the Eastern Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer is described in this paper. Two methods were used in the calculation and vibration analysis of the pumping station in both the time domain and the frequency domain. The pressure pulsation field of the whole flow passage was structured on the basis of pressure pulsations recorded at some locations of the physical model test. Dynamic time-history analysis of the pump house under pressure pulsations was carried out. At the same time, according to spectrum characteristics of the pressure pulsations at measuring points and results of free vibration characteristics analysis of the pump house, the spectrum analysis method of random vibration was used to calculate dynamic responses of the pump house. Results from both methods are consistent, which indicates that they are both reasonable. The results can be used for reference in anti-vibration safety evaluation of the Huaiyin third pumping station.

Effect of bionic mantis shrimp groove volute on vortex pump pressure pulsation

In order to reduce pressure pulsation of vortex pumps,the mantis shrimp was chosen as biological prototype and a bionic engineering model was developed from its abdominal segment grooves.Bionic mantis shrimp groove volute vortex pump models with different numbers of grooves were developed,and numerical simulation methods were used to calculate the models to study the effects of the volute grooves on the pressure pulsation of a vortex pump.The results show that a bionic groove volute could effectively improve the pressure pulsation of a vortex pump outlet,and reduce the pressure pulsation around the pump’s tongue and other internal points.The pressure pulsation under different conditions is impacted by shaft frequency and blade frequency.The bionic groove structure has little effect on the external characteristics of the pump,but could improve the static pressure,velocity distribution,and vortex structure of the flow field.Additionally,pressure pulsation of the whole vortex pump is reduced.

Analysis of pressure pulsation mechanism and dynamic characteristics of axial piston pump

The pressure pulsation of axial piston pump is not only an important cause of rotation speed fluctuation,vibration noise and output stability of the hydraulic system,but also the main information source for obtaining fault information.Hydraulic system is characterized by strong noise interference,which leads to low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of detection signals.Therefore,it is necessary to dig deep into the system operating state information carried by pressure signals.Firstly,based on flow loss mechanism of the plunger pump,the mapping relationship between flow pulsation and pressure pulsation is analyzed.After that,the pressure signal is filtered and reconstructed based on standard Gabor transform.Finally,according to the time-domain waveform morphology of pressure signal,four characteristic indicators are proposed to analyze the characteristics of pressure fluctuations under different working conditions.The experimental results show that the standard Gabor transform can accurately extract high-order harmonics and phase frequencies of the signal.The reconstructed time-domain waveform of pressure pulsation of the axial piston pump contains a wealth of operating status information,and the characteristics of pulsation changes under various working conditions can provide a new theoretical basis and a method support for fault diagnosis and health assessment of hydraulic pumps,motors and key components.

Prediction of gas pulsation of an industrial compressor

The measurement and prediction of gas pulsations are performed along the discharge pipeline of a reciprocating compressor for a refrigerator. A regression based experimental model of the one-dimensional acoustic field is developed. First, the conventional method for gas pulsation measurement and prediction, which separates the incident and reflected wave of acoustic waves traveling in the frequency domain, is discussed. Then, regression based on our proposed simple model, which is able to predict gas pulsation compared to the conventional method, is introduced for the analysis of a reciprocating compressor(The conventional method requires the value of sound speed in the piping line for the reciprocating compressor). A numerical prediction is made for the regression method. Three power spectrum values along the discharge pipeline are used for analysis, and two values are used for verification. Our results are in a good agreement with the conventional method.

Bubble translation driven by pulsation in a double-bubble system

The pulsation and translation of two cavitation bubbles are studied numerically in sound field. The results show that bubbles' pulsation driven by the sound makes them translate. Different pulsations lead to different translations. Two bubbles will be mutually attractive to each other if they pulsate in phase, while they will be repulsive if out of phase. Furthermore,the secondary Bjerknes force for small phase difference is attractive, and it becomes repulsive for other phase differences up to π phase difference due to the nonlinear effect, although the attractive strength between two bubbles is much larger than the repulsive strength. Finally, one bubble pulsation and the other bubble stationary make the bubbles repel each other.

Pressure pulsation in stages of electric submersible pump at shut-off under various speeds

Electric submersible pumps were widely used in agricultural fields,petroleum and various other industries. The pressure pulsation caused fatigue failure due to vibration in electric submersible pump and affects the life and performance of its system. The objective of this study was to experimentally investigate the characteristics of pressure pulsation which were generated at various stages of a multistage electric submersible pump during closed valve operation at different speeds. An electric submersible pump with five stages was selected for conducting experiments. A variable frequency drive( VFD)was used to operate the electric submersible pump at five different speed settings from 40 to 60 Hz. Piezoresistive pressure transducers were mounted at each stage of the electric submersible pump to capture the unsteady pressure signals. At each speed setting,the electric submersible pump was operated at the shut-off condition and the signals of unsteady pressure from all the five stages were captured. A fast fourier transformation( FFT) was carried out on the pressure signals to convert into frequency domain.From the spectra of pressure pulsation signals,the characteristics of pressure pulsation are obtained for each stage and for various speed settings which were then used to understand its variation with speed and stages.

Using d'Alembert equation as the approximation of Einstein's equation, a solution is given in this paper to the time-dependent gravitational equation of the Earth in consideration of the Earth's features, which describes the characteristics of pulsation of the Earth and the structures of spherical layers of its interior, thus providing a theoretical basis for establishing the idea of mantle pulsation.

Optimization of total harmonic current distortion and torque pulsation reduction in high-power induction motors using genetic algorithms

This paper presents a powerful application of genetic algorithm （GA） for the minimization of the total harmonic current distortion （THCD） in high-power induction motors fed by voltage source inverters, based on an approximate harmonic model. That is, having defined a desired fundamental output voltage, optimal pulse patterns （switching angles） are determined to produce the fundamental output voltage while minimizing the THCD. The complete results for the two cases of three and five switching instants in the first quarter period of pulse width modulation （PWM） waveform are presented. Presence of harmonics in the stator excitation leads to a pulsing-torque component. Considering the fact that if the pulsing-torques are at low frequencies, they can cause troublesome speed fluctuations, shaft fatigue, and unsatisfactory performance in the feedback control system, the 5th, 7th, 1 lth, and 13th current harmonics （in the case of five switching angles） are constrained at some pre-specified values, to mitigate the detrimental effects of low-frequency harmonics. At the same time, the THCD is optimized while the required fundamental output voltage is maintained.

A METHOD OF CALCULATING PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION OF PERIODIC PULSATION FLUID TRANSPORTED IN PIPING NETWORK

The pressure pulsation induced by the pumped periodic pulsation fluid is the main factor of causing fluid resonance and stimulating pipelines vibrations and noise. In order to reduce the faults caused by the vibrations of pipelines, two aspects have been researched: one is to develop high quality filters, weaken and restrain the crest of pulsation pressure; the other is to design structural parameters of the piping network and eliminate the fluid resonance. Both need calculating the pressure pulsations of different structural parameters and frequencies, and knowing the amplitude frequency. In this paper the stiffness matrix technique is used for treating the coupling of subsystems of pipelines and calculating the pressure distribution of the piping network and it is tested by simulation and experiments.

Propagation characteristics of the Pc3 frequency range pulsations in the cusp latitudes

Two induction magnetometers have been installed at Zhongshan Station and Davis Station, Antarctica respectively. We adopt with cross-spectral analysis technique to analyze the data of the two induction magnetometers, in June, September,December 1996 and March 1997. to investigate the Pc3 frequency range pulsation occurrence and propagation characteristics in the cusp latitudes. The results are summarized as following:At Zhongshan-Davis Stations, the Pc3 frequency range pulsations occur mainly around the local noon/ local magnetic noon and local magnetic midnight respectively. In daytime, the pulsations have a seasonal variation in amplitude, occurrence and temporal range, all of them are sma1lest in winter. But in nighttime, the pulsations have no such a variation. The pu1sation amplitude in nighttime is much larger than the one in daytime all oveI the year. The pulsation propagating direction is mainly western in daytime and irregularly in nighttime. It can be thought that the different sources of the pulsation and the ionospheric electric conductivity are mainly responsible for these characteristics.

The Pulsation Induced by Mass Transfer in Critically Rotating Stars

The structural characteristics of the critically rotating accretor in binaries are investigated during rapid mass transfer. It is found that the accretor is subjected to periodic pulsation due to accretions and rejections of mass and angular momentum. Tile gainer attempts to attain both hydrostatic and thermal balances. This physical process can cause tile thermal structure of the accreting star to fluctuate with a period of ~ 0.19 y. Stellar wind can be enhanced by a factor of ~1.25 ×10^4 when the accretor approaches break-down velocity. Surface entropy and density decrease with the increase of the stellar radius due to the fact that rapid rotation leads to a reduction in the number density and surface temperature. The rotational energy has the same trend as stellar radius due to stellar expansion. Surface opacity which is extremely sensitive to surface temperature has an opposite trend to stellar radius. Moreover, the rate of nuclear energy must be adjusted due to mass removal or accretion at the stellar surface.

Prediction of Pulsation Frequency of Pulsing Flow in Trickle Beds Based on Artificial Neural Network

An extensive database (946 measurements) for the frequency of pulsing flow in trickle beds was established by collecting the experimental results published over past 30 years. A new correlation based on artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the pulsation frequency was developed. Seven dimensionless numbers (groups) employed in the proposed correlation were liquid and gas Reynolds, liquid Weber, liquid Eotvos, gas Froude, and gas Stokes numbers and a bed correction factor. The comparisons of performance reported in the of literature and present correlations show that ANN correlation is a significant improvement in predicting pulsation frequency with an average absolute relative error (AARE) of 10% and a standard deviation less than 18%.

Analysis of chamber effect on intermittent pulsation

A numerical study was conducted to seek an optimized dimension of jet chamber in the pulsating impinging flow.The flow and heat transfer effect of the pulsation flow through a jet chamber was investigated.The numerical results indicate that heat transfer effective enhances near the stagnation region for the intermittent pulsed flow with jet chamber compared to that without jet chamber.Simulations of the flow through a jet chamber show that the heat transfer rate on the impingement surface is highly dependent on the velocity at the position which is really close to target surface.Examination of the velocity field suggests that the velocity exists a maximum value as the axis distance increases.In addition,the velocity at the jet hole is enlarged by the jet chamber due to the entrainment effect,and the velocity is amplified even greater as the size of the jet chamber becomes bigger.Nevertheless,the velocity declines quickly while the flow axis distance is more than a certain range,leading to poor heat transfer.Thus,intermittent pulsed flow with jet chamber is suggested as a method of improving heat transfer by employing larger dimensions of jet chamber for appropriate jet-to-surface spacing.

Spatio-spectral dynamics of soliton pulsation with breathing behavior in the anomalous dispersion fiber laser

We have numerically and experimentally observed the soliton pulsation with obvious breathing behavior in the anomalous fiber laser mode-locked by a nonlinear polarization rotation technique.The numerical study of the soliton pulsation with breathing behavior was analyzed through the split-step Fourier method at first,and it was found that the phase difference caused by the polarization controller would affect the breathing characteristics.Then,taking advantage of the dispersive Fourier transform technique,we confirmed the breathing characteristic of soliton pulsation in the same fiber laser as the simulation model experimentally.These results complement the research on the breathing characteristic of soliton pulsation.

Effect of nonlinear translations on the pulsation of cavitation bubbles

The pulsations and translations of cavitation bubbles obey combined ordinary differential equations,and their nonlinearities are studied by the bifurcation diagram and the phase diagram in a strong ultrasonic field.Bubble pulsation can change regularly or irregularly with changing driving pressure in the time domain.The bifurcation diagrams of the pulsation versus driving pressure show that the pulsations and translations of bubbles have nonlinear characteristics,and the nonlinear translations of bubbles can disorder the pulsations for certain parameters.Disorder of the pulsation can also be caused by nonlinear pulsation itself.In addition,the phase diagrams also show that the nonlinear translations make a large contribution to the pulsations.The same result can also be obtained when the ambient radii of two bubbles are different.
