A continuous simulation of Holocene effective moisture change represented by variability of virtual lake level in East and Central Asia

The fluctuation of a single lake level is a comprehensive reflection of water balance within the basin, while the regional consistent fluctuations of lake level can indicate the change of regional effective moisture. Previous researches were mainly focused on reconstructing effective moisture by multiproxy analyses of lake sediments. We carried out a series of experiments, including a transient climate evolution model, a lake energy balance model and a lake water balance model to simulate continuous Holocene effective moisture change represented by variability of virtual lake level in East and Central Asia.The virtual lake level, area, water depth and salinity are not equivalent to actual values, but we estimated relative changes of the regional effective moisture. We also explored the driving mechanisms of effective moisture change in different geographical regions. Our results indicated that gradually falling effective moisture during the Holocene in northern China was due to the combined effects of high lake evaporation caused by longwave and shortwave radiation, and low precipitation caused by reductions of summer solar insolation. A decline in effective moisture through the Holocene in the Tibetan Plateau and southern Central Asia resulted from decreased precipitation because of the weakening of the Asian summer monsoon. Increased precipitation induced by the strengthening of the westerly circulation contributed to the effective moisture rise during the Holocene in northern Central Asia.

Hybrid simulation using implicit solver coupling with HLA and FMI

Hybrid systems such as Cyber Physical System(CPS)are becoming increasingly popular,mainly due to the involvement of information technology in different aspects of life.For analysis and verification of hybrid system models,simulation is used extensively.As parts of a common hybrid system may belong to different domains of study,it is sometimes beneficial to use specialized simulation packages(SPs)for each domain.In this case,parts of a system are simulated in different SPs.The idea may seem simple,but coupling more than one simulation component presents challenges related to numerical stability.The presented article suggests an implicit solver coupling technique enhanced to facilitate simulation of hybrid models using multiple simulation components.The technique is developed using two of the most popular simulation interoperability standards,namely,the High Level Architecture and the Functional Mock-up Interface.By using these standards,the developed algorithm will be useful for a large number of practitioners and researchers.The developed algorithm is described using a generic distributed computation model,which makes it reproducible even without using the standards.For the verification of results,the algorithm is tested on two case studies.The results are compared to a monolithic simulator and the proximity of results initiates the validity of the developed algorithm.

Multiphase Flow and Thermo-Mechanical Behaviors of Solidifying Shell in Continuous Casting Mold

The metallurgical phenomena occurring in the continuous casting mold have a significant influence on the performance and the quality of steel product.The multiphase flow phenomena of molten steel,steel/slag interface and gas bubbles in the slab continuous casting mold were described by numerical simulation,and the effect of electromagnetic brake（EMBR） and argon gas blowing on the process were investigated.The relationship between wavy fluctuation height near meniscus and the level fluctuation index F,which reflects the situation of mold flux entrapment,was clarified.Moreover,based on a microsegregation model of solute elements in mushy zone with δ/γ transformation and a thermo-mechanical coupling finite element model of shell solidification,the thermal and mechanical behaviors of solidifying shell including the dynamic distribution laws of air gap and mold flux,temperature and stress of shell in slab continuous casting mold were described.

Cloud Water Resource in North China in 2017 Simulated by the CMA-CPEFS Cloud Resolving Model:Validation and Quantification

Based on the concept of cloud water resource(CWR)and the cloud microphysical scheme developed by the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences(CAMS),a coupled mesoscale and cloud-resolving model system is developed in the study for CWR numerical quantification(CWR-NQ)in North China for 2017.The results show that(1)the model system is stable and capable for performing 1-yr continuous simulation with a water budget error of less than 0.2%,which indicates a good water balance.(2)Compared with the observational data,it is confirmed that the simulating capability of the CWR-NQ approach is decent for the spatial distribution of yearly cumulative precipitation,daily precipitation intensity,yearly average spatial distribution of water vapor.(3)Compared with the CWR diagnostic quantification(CWR-DQ),the results from the CWR-NQ differ mainly in cloud condensation and cloud evaporation.However,the deviation of the net condensation(condensation minus evaporation)between the two methods is less than 1%.For other composition variables,such as water vapor advection,surface evaporation,precipitation,cloud condensation,and total atmospheric water substances,the relative differences between the CWR-NQ and the CWR-DQ are less than 5%.(4)The spatiotemporal features of the CWR in North China are also studied.The positive correlation between water vapor convergence and precipitation on monthly and seasonal scales,and the lag of precipitation relative to water vapor convergence on hourly and daily scales are analyzed in detail,indicating the significance of the state term on hourly and daily scales.The effects of different spatial scales on the state term,advection term,source-sink term,and total amount are analyzed.It is shown that the advective term varies greatly at different spatiotemporal scales,which leads to differences at different spatiotemporal scales in CWR and related characteristic quantities.
