3D Simulation of Flow with Free Surface Based on Adaptive Octree Mesh System

The technique of adaptive tree mesh is an effective way to reduce computational cost through automatic adjustment of cell size according to necessity. In the present study, the 2D numerical N-S solver based on the adaptive quadtree mesh system was extended to a 3D one, in which a spatially adaptive oetree mesh system and multiple particle level set method were adopted for the convenience to deal with the air-water-structure multiple-medium coexisting domain. The stretching process of a dumbbell was simulated and the results indicate that the meshes are well adaptable to the free surface. The collapsing process of water column impinging a circle cylinder was simulated and from the results, it can be seen that the processes of fluid splitting and merging are properly simulated. The interaction of second-order Stokes waves with a square cylinder was simulated and the obtained drag force is consistent with the result by the Morison＇s wave force formula with the coefficient values of the stable drag component and the inertial force component bein~ set as 2.54.

Finite Control Set Model Predictive Current Control of a Five-Phase PMSM with Virtual Voltage Vectors and Adaptive Control Set

This paper presents an improved finite control set model predictive current control(FCS-MPCC)of a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM).First,to avoid including all the 32 voltage vectors provided by a two-level five-phase inverter into the control set,virtual voltage vectors are adopted.As the third current harmonics can be much reduced by virtual voltage vectors automatically,the harmonic items in the cost function of conventional FCS-MPCC are not considered.Furthermore,an adaptive control set is proposed based on voltage prediction.Best control set with proper voltage vector amplitude corresponding to different rotor speed can be achieved by this method.Consequently,current ripples can be largely reduced and the system performs much better.At last,simulations are established to verify the steady and transient performance of the proposed FCS-MPCC,and experiments based on a 2 kW five-phase motor are carried out.The results have validated the performance improvement of the proposed control strategy.

FUZZY MODEL-FOLLOWING ADAPTIVE CONTROL DESIGN FOR ROBOT MANIPULATORS

The increasing demand on robotic system performance leads to the use of advanced con- trol strategies. This paper proposes a method of nonlinear feedback control introducing fuzzy infer- ence into model-following adaptive control for the nonlinear robot manipulator systems. The fuzzy inference is introduced to treat the nonlinearities of the control systems. Furthermore, the stability of the system is discussed by the fuzzy stability theory based on the Lyapunov's direct method. In the closed loop, the robotic system asymptotically converge to the reference trajectory with a pre- scribed transient response.

An algorithm for computed tomography image reconstruction from limited-view projections

With the development of the compressive sensing theory, the image reconstruction from the projections viewed in limited angles is one of the hot problems in the research of computed tomography technology. This paper develops an iterative algorithm for image reconstruction, which can fit the most cases. This method gives an image reconstruction flow with the difference image vector, which is based on the concept that the difference image vector between the reconstructed and the reference image is sparse enough. Then the l1-norm minimization method is used to reconstruct the difference vector to recover the image for flat subjects in limited angles. The algorithm has been tested with a thin planar phantom and a real object in limited-view projection data. Moreover, all the studies showed the satisfactory results in accuracy at a rather high reconstruction speed.

The research and the development of the wide area relaying protection based on fault element identification

The urgent problem of the relaying protection in the modern AC/DC hybrid connected grid and the development of the wide area communication,the information process and the intelligent technology powerfully promotes the development of the technology of the wide area relaying protection(WARP),which has become a research hotspot that attracts extensive attention.Originated from the basic concept of the wide area relaying protection,this paper analyses the advantages,the effects and the functions of the wide area relaying protection.The two main approaches to realize the wide area protection,which are on-line adaptive setting(OAS)principle and fault element identification(FEI),are introduced in this paper.Aimed at improving the performance of the backup protection,the research content and the technology demand of the wide area protection are proposed,meanwhile,the basic principle and the algorithm of the fault element identification are introduced.At last,the scheme of the limited wide area relaying protection based on the existing pilot channel of the main protection is discussed.

Feedback structure based entropy approach for multiple-model estimation

The variable-structure multiple-model（VSMM）approach,one of the multiple-model（MM）methods,is a popular and effective approach in handling problems with mode uncertainties.The model sequence set adaptation（MSA）is the key to design a better VSMM.However,MSA methods in the literature have big room to improve both theoretically and practically.To this end,we propose a feedback structure based entropy approach that could fnd the model sequence sets with the smallest size under certain conditions.The fltered data are fed back in real time and can be used by the minimum entropy（ME）based VSMM algorithms,i.e.,MEVSMM.Firstly,the full Markov chains are used to achieve optimal solutions.Secondly,the myopic method together with particle flter（PF）and the challenge match algorithm are also used to achieve sub-optimal solutions,a trade-off between practicability and optimality.The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm provides not only refned model sets but also a good robustness margin and very high accuracy.
