Simulation of Moving Bed Erosion Based on the Weakly Compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics-Discrete Element Coupling Method

A complex interface exists between waterflow and solid particles during hydraulic soil erosion.In this study,the particle discrete element method(DEM)has been used to simulate the hydraulic erosion of a granular soil under moving bed conditions and surrounding terrain changes.Moreover,the weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics(WCSPH)approach has been exploited to simulate the instability process of the free surfacefluid and its propagation characteristics at the solid–liquid interface.The influence of a suspended medium on the waterflow dynamics has been characterized using the mixed viscosity concept accounting for the solid–liquid mixed particle volume ratio.Numerical simulations of wall-jet scouring and reservoir sedimentflushing on a mobile bed were performed and validated with experiments.The results show that the proposed WCSPH–DEM coupling model is highly suitable for determining parameters,such as the local maximum scour depth,the scour pit width,and the sand bed profile.The effects on the hydraulic erosion process of two important para-meters of the mixed viscosity coefficient(initial solid volume concentration and initial viscosity coefficient)are also discussed to a certain extent in this study.

光响应Janus粒子体系的构建与应用

Janus粒子通常由两种或两种以上不同物理或化学性质的部分组成,其结构的不对称性导致了粒子形貌和性质具有不对称性。与“静态”Janus粒子相比,具有刺激响应性的“动态”Janus粒子能够与环境发生相互作用,在外界刺激下表达特殊功能。光响应Janus粒子是一类可以在光刺激下发生特定响应的Janus粒子,其两侧不同的组成不仅可以结合多种类型的光响应性,也能与其他类型的刺激响应进行配合,从而实现对特定体系的精确调控。由于光能易于调节的特性,光响应Janus粒子可以与无机纳米团簇或有机官能团产生特定反应,具有光热效应、色彩调节、光动力治疗等独特特性。它们还可以应用于药物递送、生物传感与成像、微纳米马达和光致发光等领域,为解决生物医学和光学器件相关的问题提供了新的方法。本文主要介绍光响应Janus粒子近期发展的制备方法,并着重阐述其独特调控机理以及其在生物医药、发光材料等领域的突出应用,最后对目前该领域的发展前景做出展望。
