CG particle models can largely increase the length scale and time scale of atomistic simulations by eliminating the fast degrees of freedom while preserving the mesoscopic structures and properties of the simulated system. Moreover, CG particle models can be used to capture the microstructural alternations in diseased RBCs and simulate the topological changes of biomembranes and RBCs, which are the major challenges to the typical continuum representations of membranes and RBCs. The power and versatility of CG particle methods are demonstrated through simulating the dynamical processes involving significant topological changes, e.g., lipid self-assembly vesicle fusion and membrane budding.展开更多

Obtaining a reliable discharge of particulate solids from a storage silo is a prerequisite to securing operational adequacy in solids handling processes.If a silo is poorly designed,an unreliable interrupted discharge...Obtaining a reliable discharge of particulate solids from a storage silo is a prerequisite to securing operational adequacy in solids handling processes.If a silo is poorly designed,an unreliable interrupted discharge often occurs.In this study,an in-house finite element(FE) program was modified to predict the particulate solids flow patterns during discharges from silos,and the effect of a double-cone insert on such flow patterns.In FE modeling,a Eulerian approach was adopted with an assumption of steady-state flow—a state that greatly facilitated investigations on the effects of double-cone inserts on the flow of particulate solids.Predictions were carried out on whether the discharge was in mass flow or funnel flow,associated with the inclination angle of the silo's hopper.Predicted results were in agreement with the Jenike Chart,and proved that an upper lateral pressure ratio value gave a better critical hopper half angle to achieve mass flow(EN 1991-4,2006).The shape and size of the stagnant zone were further discussed to address the flow channel boundary between the flowing and static solids if the discharge was in a funnel pattern.Results also showed the effects of a double-cone insert on the flow patterns which converted silos from funnel flow to mass flow up to a certain hopper inclination angle and would improve the flow pattern even for shallower angles.Experiments were carried out to verify some of the predicted results.Some qualitative comparisons were made between the predicted results and experimental measurements,which indicated that further efforts are needed in predicting the shape of the stagnant zone(flow channel boundary) during funnel flow discharges.展开更多

文摘From December 2019 to June 2021,the BESⅢ experiment collected approximately 5.85 fb^(−1) of data at center-of-mass energies between 4.61 and 4.95 GeV.This is the highest collision energy BEPCⅡ has reached to date.The accumulated e^(+)e^(−) annihilation data samples are useful for studying charmonium(-like)states and charmed-hadron decays.By adopting a novel method of analyzing the production of A_(c)^(+)A_(c)^(-) pairs in e^(+)e^(−) annihilation,the center-of-mass energies are measured with a precision of 0.6 MeV.Integrated luminosities are measured with a precision of better than 1% by analyzing the events of large-angle Bhabha scattering.These measurements provide important inputs to analyses based on these data samples.

文摘Using a dedicated data sample taken in 2018 on the J/ψpeak,we perform a detailed study of the trigger efficiencies of the BESIII detector.The efficiencies are determined from three representative physics processes,namely Bhabha scattering,dimuon production and generic hadronic events with charged particles.The combined efficiency of all active triggers approaches 100%in most cases,with uncertainties small enough not to affect most physics analyses.
文摘Obtaining a reliable discharge of particulate solids from a storage silo is a prerequisite to securing operational adequacy in solids handling processes.If a silo is poorly designed,an unreliable interrupted discharge often occurs.In this study,an in-house finite element(FE) program was modified to predict the particulate solids flow patterns during discharges from silos,and the effect of a double-cone insert on such flow patterns.In FE modeling,a Eulerian approach was adopted with an assumption of steady-state flow—a state that greatly facilitated investigations on the effects of double-cone inserts on the flow of particulate solids.Predictions were carried out on whether the discharge was in mass flow or funnel flow,associated with the inclination angle of the silo's hopper.Predicted results were in agreement with the Jenike Chart,and proved that an upper lateral pressure ratio value gave a better critical hopper half angle to achieve mass flow(EN 1991-4,2006).The shape and size of the stagnant zone were further discussed to address the flow channel boundary between the flowing and static solids if the discharge was in a funnel pattern.Results also showed the effects of a double-cone insert on the flow patterns which converted silos from funnel flow to mass flow up to a certain hopper inclination angle and would improve the flow pattern even for shallower angles.Experiments were carried out to verify some of the predicted results.Some qualitative comparisons were made between the predicted results and experimental measurements,which indicated that further efforts are needed in predicting the shape of the stagnant zone(flow channel boundary) during funnel flow discharges.

文摘Defect formation is a critical challenge for powder-based metal additive manufacturing(AM).Current understanding on the three important issues including formation mechanism,influence and control method of metal AM defects should be updated.In this review paper,multi-scale defects in AMed metals and alloys are identified and for the first time classified into three categories,including geometry related,surface integrity related and microstructural defects.In particular,the microstructural defects are further divided into internal cracks and pores,textured columnar grains,compositional defects and dislocation cells.The root causes of the multi-scale defects are discussed.The key factors that affect the defect formation are identified and analyzed.The detection methods and modeling of the multi-scale defects are briefly introduced.The effects of the multi-scale defects on the mechanical properties especially for tensile properties and fatigue performance of AMed metallic components are reviewed.Various control and mitigation methods for the corresponding defects,include process parameter control,post processing,alloy design and hybrid AM techniques,are summarized and discussed.From research aspect,current research gaps and future prospects from three important aspects of the multi-scale AM defects are identified and delineated.
