Simulation of flows with moving contact lines on a dual-resolution Cartesian grid using a diffuse-interface immersed-boundary method

In this paper, we investigate flows with moving contact lines on curved solid walls on a dual-resolution grid using a diffuse-interface immersed-boundary（DIIB） method. The dual-resolution grid, on which the flows are solved on a coarse mesh while the interface is resolved on a fine mesh, was shown to significantly improve the computational efficiency when simulating multiphase flows. On the other hand, the DIIB method is able to resolve dynamic wetting on curved substrates on a Cartesian grid, but it usually requires a mesh of high resolution in the vicinity of a moving contact line to resolve the local flow. In the present study, we couple the DIIB method with the dual-resolution grid, to improve the interface resolution for flows with moving contact lines on curved solid walls at an affordable cost. The dynamic behavior of moving contact lines is validated by studying drop spreading, and the numerical results suggest that the effective slip length λ_n can be approximated by 1.9Cn, where Cn is a dimensionless measure of the thickness of the diffuse interface. We also apply the method to drop impact onto a convex substrate, and the results on the dual-resolution grid are in good agreement with those on a single-resolution grid. It shows that the axisymmetric simulations using the DIIB method on the dual-resolution grid saves nearly 60% of the computational time compared with that on a single-resolution grid.

Feedback linearization based control for weak grid connected PV system under normal and abnormal conditions

This paper proposes a control strategy for interface of distributed energy sources into the weak grid system with a focus on the energy and ancillary services.A novel controller has been designed and implemented to tackle the challenges of coupling terms in the LCL filter,the transient behavior under sudden changes,and the voltage support under fault condition using the feedback linearization technique.The controller proposed has been implemented on the PV system connected with the weak grid using the LCL filter and the performance of the controller has been verified using Matlab/Simulink through simulation under different conditions.The results of the controller proposed have been compared with the conventional PI dual loop controller.The simulation results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness and simplicity of the controller design strategy.

An Improved 3-D Ray Tracing Method Using Linear Traveltime Interpolation

An approach of three-dimensional seismic ray tracing is presented,which is derived from adopting two-dimensional linear traveltime interpolation（LTI）.By adjusting the forward process using the partition of grid interface,and backward step by considering more directions,the new approach is suitable for the application of three-dimensional models.The calculation results show that,with the same accuracy,the improved 3-D method is much faster than the method of traditional LTI directly applied in the three-dimensional case.
