Exploring the impacts of major events on the systemic risk of the international energy market

This study examines the systemic risk caused by major events in the international energy market(IEM)and proposes a management strategy to mitigate it. Using the tail-event driven network(TENET)method, this study constructed a tail-risk spillover network(TRSN) of IEM and simulated the dynamic spillover tail-risk process through the cascading failure mechanism. The study found that renewable energy markets contributed more to systemic risk during the Paris Agreement and the COVID-19pandemic, while fossil energy markets played a larger role during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This study identifies systemically important markets(SM) and critical tail-risk spillover paths as potential sources of systemic risk. The research confirms that cutting off the IEM risk spillover path can greatly reduce systemic risk and the influence of SM. This study offers insights into the management of systemic risk in IEM and provides policy recommendations to reduce the impact of shock events.

A nonlinear creep model for surrounding rocks of tunnels based on kinetic energy theorem

The initiating condition for the accelerated creep of rocks has caused difficulty in analyzing the whole creep process.Moreover,the existing Nishihara model has evident shortcomings in describing the accelerated creep characteristics of the viscoplastic stage from the perspective of internal energy to analyze the mechanism of rock creep failure and determine the threshold of accelerated creep initiation.Based on the kinetic energy theorem,Perzyna viscoplastic theory,and the Nishihara model,a unified creep constitutive model that can describe the whole process of decaying creep,stable creep,and accelerated creep is established.Results reveal that the energy consumption and creep damage in the process of creep loading mainly come from the internal energy changes of geotechnical materials.The established creep model can not only describe the viscoelasticeplastic creep characteristics of rock,but also reflect the relationship between rock energy and creep deformation change.In addition,the research results provide a new method for determining the critical point of creep deformation and a new idea for studying the creep model and creep mechanical properties.

In a preceding paper, the theoretical and experimental, deterministic and random, scalar and vector, kinematic structures, the theoretical and experimental, deterministic-deterministic, deterministic-random, random-deterministic, random-random, scalar and vector, dynamic structures have been developed to compute the exact solution for wave turbulence of exponential pulsons and oscillons that is governed by the nonstationary three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The rectangular, diagonal, and triangular summations of matrices of the turbulent kinetic energy and general terms of numerous sums have been used in the current paper to develop theoretical quantization of the kinetic energy of exact wave turbulence. Nested structures of a cumulative energy pulson, a deterministic energy pulson, a deterministic internal energy oscillon, a deterministic-random internal energy oscillon, a random internal energy oscillon, a random energy pulson, a deterministic diagonal energy oscillon, a deterministic external energy oscillon, a deterministic-random external energy oscillon, a random external energy oscillon, and a random diagonal energy oscillon have been established. In turn, the energy pulsons and oscillons include deterministic group pulsons, deterministic internal group oscillons, deterministic-random internal group oscillons, random internal group oscillons, random group pulsons, deterministic diagonal group oscillons, deterministic external group oscillons, deterministic-random external group oscillons, random external group oscillons, and random diagonal group oscillons. Sequentially, the group pulsons and oscillons contain deterministic wave pulsons, deterministic internal wave oscillons, deterministic-random internal wave oscillons, random internal wave oscillons, random wave pulsons, deterministic diagonal wave oscillons, deterministic external wave oscillons, deterministic-random external wave oscillons, random external wave oscillons, random diagonal wave oscillons. Consecutively, the wave pulsons and oscillons are composed of deterministic elementary pulsons, deterministic internal elementary oscillons, deterministic-random internal elementary oscillons, random internal elementary oscillons, random elementary pulsons, deterministic diagonal elementary oscillons, deterministic external elementary oscillons, deterministic-random external elementary oscillons, random-deterministic external elementary oscillons, random external elementary oscillons, and random diagonal elementary oscillons. Symbolic computations of exact expansions have been performed using experimental and theoretical programming in Maple.

Quantization of the Kinetic Energy of Deterministic Chaos

In previous works, the theoretical and experimental deterministic scalar kinematic structures, the theoretical and experimental deterministic vector kinematic structures, the theoretical and experimental deterministic scalar dynamic structures, and the theoretical and experimental deterministic vector dynamic structures have been developed to compute the exact solution for deterministic chaos of the exponential pulsons and oscillons that is governed by the nonstationary three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. To explore properties of the kinetic energy, rectangular, diagonal, and triangular summations of a matrix of the kinetic energy and general terms of various sums have been used in the current paper to develop quantization of the kinetic energy of deterministic chaos. Nested structures of a cumulative energy pulson, an energy pulson of propagation, an internal energy oscillon, a diagonal energy oscillon, and an external energy oscillon have been established. In turn, the energy pulsons and oscillons include group pulsons of propagation, internal group oscillons, diagonal group oscillons, and external group oscillons. Sequentially, the group pulsons and oscillons contain wave pulsons of propagation, internal wave oscillons, diagonal wave oscillons, and external wave oscillons. Consecutively, the wave pulsons and oscillons are composed of elementary pulsons of propagation, internal elementary oscillons, diagonal elementary oscillons, and external elementary oscillons. Topology, periodicity, and integral properties of the exponential pulsons and oscillons have been studied using the novel method of the inhomogeneous Fourier expansions via eigenfunctions in coordinates and time. Symbolic computations of the exact expansions have been performed using the experimental and theoretical programming in Maple. Results of the symbolic computations have been justified by probe visualizations.

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE DEPENDENCE OF THE INTERNAL ENERGY CONTRIBUTION IN RUBBER ELASTICITY

Conformational elasticity theory recently developed has been used to explore the internal energy contribution to the elastic force f(e)/f as a function of strain for poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) and poly(trans-1,4-isoprene). Calculated f(e)/f values are in good agreement with those obtained experimentally. Results show that behavior of f(e)/f is mainly contributed by chemical structure, or intramolecular interaction, supporting the experimental observations, and that the internal energy contribution is strain dependent.

Numerical study of M_2 internal tide generation and propagation in the Luzon Strait

Based on the z-coordinate ocean model HAMSOM,we introduced the internal-tide viscosity term and applied the model to numerically investigate the M2 internal tide generation and propagation in the Luzon Strait （LS）.The results show that （1） in the upper 250 m depth,at the thermocline,the maximum amplitude of the generated internal tides in the LS can reach 40 m;（2） the major internal tides are generated to the northwest of Itbayat Island,the southwest of Batan Island and the northwest of the Babuyan Islands;（3） during the propagation the baroclinic energy scattering and reflection is obvious,which exists under the effect of the specific topography in the South China Sea （SCS）;（4） the westward-propagating internal tides are divided into two branches entering the SCS.While passing through 118 E,the major branch is divided into two branches again.The strongest internal tides in the LS are generated to the northwest of Itbayat Island and propagate northeastward to the Pacific.However,to the east of 122 E,most of the internal tides propagate southeastward to the Pacific as a beam.

The molecular-based magnetic materials AFe11 Fe111（C2O4）3 have a honeycomb structure in which FeII （S = 2） and FeIH （S= 5/2） occupy sites alternately. They can be described as mixed spin-2 and spin-5/2 Ising model with ferrimagnetic interlayer coupling. The influences of the transverse field on the internal energy and the specific heat of the molecalar-based magnetic system have been studied numerically by using the effective-field theory with self-spin correlations and the differential operator technique.

Influence of Mass and Radius of Ice Crystals on Hydrometeors,Internal Energy,and Kinetic Energy:A Numeric Model Study

Two cloud-scale experiments with two different ice-phase schemes were carried out for a precipitation event that occurred in eastern China in 2005.The results were analyzed to examine the influences of the change of ice-particle mass and radius on hydrometeors,internal energy,and kinetic energy,as well as the primary factors responsible.It was found that the ice content increases notably and the snow content decreases due to the change.This is the consequence of the modulation of cloud microphysical processes.In particular,the Bergeron process and the accretion of snow and cloud ice are markedly influenced.The differences of internal energy and kinetic energy between the two experiments are caused by adjustments to pressure-flux divergence,the coupling of temperature and divergence,and gravitational work,and the reason is that these three factors result in differences of local changes of internal and kinetic energy.

Carbon Neutrality and the Changing Landscape of Global Energy Politics

The international low-carbon energy transition has been accelerated by national carbon neutral targets.Global consumption of traditional energy sources is entering a bottleneck,the development of new and renewable energy is accelerating,and trends of energy electrification,networking,and digitalization are rising.At the same time,amid the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,some radical and political emissions reduction measures in the low-carbon transition process have exacerbated a short-term international energy supply–demand imbalance,resulting in soaring energy prices and electricity shortages in many countries.The ongoing global energy shortage underscores the complexity and long-term character of the international energy transition,suggesting that the lowcarbon transition process will face numerous new energy security issues.The energy structure shift to low carbon is driving the adjustment of both the connotations and structures of world energy politics,accelerating the evolution of the concept of energy security,strategy,and international energy security frameworks.Traditional and new energy geopolitical games are being played simultaneously,and the global energy geopolitical landscape is brewing multiple new changes.

Nonlinear Energy Cascading in Turbulence during the Internal Reconnection Event at the Sino-United Spherical Tokamak

The characteristics of the energy transfer and nonlinear coupling among edge electromagnetic turbulence in thermal quench sub-period of the internal reconnection event （IRE） are studied at the sino-united spherical tokamak device using multiple Langmuir and magnetic probe arrays. The wavelet bispectral analysis and the modified Kim method are applied to investigate linear growth/damping and nonlinear energy transfer rates, along with multi-field turbulence interactions. The results show a multi-field nonlinear energy transfer from electrostatic to magnetic turbulence that results in two-mode coupling in magnetic turbulence, which may play a crucial role to trigger the IRE.

Pseudocritical Rapid Energy Dissipation Analysis of Base-Load Electrical Demand Reduction on Nuclear Steam Supply System

Effect of pseudocritical rapid energy dissipation (PRED) from Pressurizer in nuclear steam supply system of Pressurized Water Reactor, where a single event as common cause failure, of considerable reduction of base-load electricity demand causes the temperature of the reactor coolant system (RCS) to increase, and corresponding pressure increases in pressurizer and steam generators above set-points. The study employed the uses of MATLAB/Simulink library tools, to experimentally modelled pressure control as PRED, where the momentum of transport of kinematic viscosity fraction above pseudocritical point dissipated as excess energy, to maintain the safety of the Pressurizer and RCS and keep the water from boiling. The result demonstrated the significance of pressure vector and Prandlt number as heat transfer coefficients that provided detailed activities in 2-D contour and 3-D graphics of specific internal energy and other parameterization of fluid in the pressurizer.

Mahto et al. gave an expression for the change in enthalpy and internal energy with corresponding change in the radius of the event horizon of black holes of spin parameter a* = 1 (2013). On the basis of this research work, we have proposed an expression for the change in the internal energy and enthalpy of the spinning black holes to assume spin parameter a* = 1/2 and calculated their values for different test spinning black holes existing in XRBs.

A piezoelectric energy harvester based on internal resonance

A vibration-based energy harvester is essentially a resonator working in a limited frequency range.To increase the working frequency range is a challenging problem.This paper reveals a novel possibility for enhancing energy harvesting via internal resonance.An internal resonance energy harvester is proposed.The excitation is successively assumed as the Gaussian white noise,the colored noise defined by a second-order filter,the narrow-band noise,and exponentially correlated noise.The corresponding averaged root-meansquare output voltages are computed.Numerical results demonstrate that the internal resonance increases the operating bandwidth and the output voltage.

Coherent and incoherent internal tides in the southern South China Sea

Coherent and incoherent internal tides(CITs and ICITs) in the southern South China Sea were investigated from two sets of _18-month mooring current records. The CITs were mainly composed of diurnal Q _1, O _1, P _1 and K _1 and semidiurnal M_2. The observed diurnal internal tides(ITs) were more coherent than the semidiurnal constituents. Coherent diurnal variance accounted for approximately 58% of the diurnal motion, whereas semidiurnal tides contained a much smaller fraction(35%) of coherent motion. The ICITs mainly consisted of motion at non-tidal harmonic frequencies around the tidal frequency, and showed clear intermittency. The modal decomposition of CITs and ICITs showed that CITs were dominated by mode-1, whereas mode-1 and higher modes in ICITs signals showed comparable amplitudes. CITs and ICITs accounted for approximately 64% and 36% of the total kinetic energy of internal tides, respectively.

The electronic properties（Fermi surface,band structure,and density of states（DOS）） of Al-based alloys AlM3（M=Zr and Cu） and AlCu2Zr are investigated using the first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation（GGA）.The structural parameters and elastic constants are evaluated and compared with other available data.Also,the pressure dependences of mechanical properties of the compounds are studied.The temperature dependence of adiabatic bulk modulus,Debye temperature,specific heat,thermal expansion coefficient,entropy,and internal energy are all obtained for the first time through quasi-harmonic Debye model with phononic effects for T = 0 K-100 K.The parameters of optical properties（dielectric functions,refractive index,extinction coefficient,absorption spectrum,conductivity,energy-loss spectrum,and reflectivity） of the compounds are calculated and discussed for the first time.The reflectivities of the materials are quite high in the IR-visible-UV region up to ~ 15 eV,showing that they promise to be good coating materials to avoid solar heating.Some of the properties are also compared with those of the Al-based Ni3 Al compound.

Hot Vertical-Displacement-Event Process due to Internal Energy Perturbations for HL-2M Tokamak Plasma

During the tokamak operation, variation of the stored energy can cause internal perturbations of the plasma. These perturbations may develop into large-scale vertical movement of the whole column for the vertically elon- gated tokamak, eventually generating the hot vertical displacement event （VIDE,）. It will cause considerable damage to the machine. In this work, the hot VDE process due to stored energy perturbations is investigated by a mature non-linear time-evolution code DINA. The influence on the vertical instability, the displacement direction and the electromagnetic loads on in-vessel components during the hot VDE are analyzed. It is shown that a larger perturbation leads to faster development of the vertical instability. Meanwhile the variation of the Shafranov shift, due to the energy change, is related to the VDE direction. The vertical electromagnetic force on the vacuum vessel and the halo current flowing in the divertor baffle become larger in the case of VDE moving towards the X point.

A comprehensive study on various internal energies for the dipolar hard sphere fluids, including Stockmayer fluids, the mixtures of Lennard-Jones and Stockmayer and Stockmayer fluids and the electrolyte solutions is reported based on the perturbation theory and mean spherical approximation. Compared with the results of molecular simulations, it is shown that the perturbation theory is better than the mean spherical approximation.

The internal energy and specific heat of a Heisenberg ferro- antiferromagnetic double-layer system are studied by using spin-wave theory and the retarded Green function method at low temperatures. Numerical results show that the antiferromagnetic intralayer coupling J2 has an important influence on internal energy and specific heat for a four-sublattice system with antiferromagnetic （or ferrimagnetic） interlayer couplings.

Internal Energy Losses and Contact Duration About a Circular Plate Colliding to a Half-Plane Target

Collisions between multibody systems are irreversible processes which cause loss of internal energy by a stress wave that propagates in the impacting bodies away from the region of impact. A coefficient of restitution relating to approach velocity is introduced to denote the losses of translational kinetic energy. A parameter β involved in internal energy losses has been obtained to calculate the coefficient of restitution. As a result, the internal energy losses caused by elastic stress waves and the contact duration in metals can be calculated numerically for the collision between circular cylinder and half plane. The metals include aluminum alloys, steel-mild 1020, steel-stainless austenitic 304, tungsten alloys, copper alloys, nickel alloys and titanium alloys. By introducing a coefficient of velocity-frequency, an exponential aggression equation related the normalized oscillating frequency and normalized approach velocity has been obtained by the numerical method.
