Simulation of Fault Arc Based on Different Radiation Models in a Closed Tank

This paper focuses on the simulation of a fault arc in a closed tank based on the magneto-hydrodynamic （MHD） method, in which a comparative study of three radiation models, including net emission coefficients （NEC）, semi-empirical model based on NEC as well as the P1 model, is developed. The pressure rise calculated by the three radiation models are compared to the measured results. Particularly when the senti-empirical model is used, the effect of different boundary temperatures of the re-absorption layer in the semi-empirical model on pressure rise is concentrated on. The results show that the re-absorption effect in the low-temperature region affects radiation transfer of fault arcs evidently, and thus the internal pressure rise. Compared with the NEC model, P1 and the semi-empirical model with 0.7 〈 α 〈 0.83 are more suitable to calculate the pressure rise of the fault arc, where is an adjusted parameter involving the boundary temperature of the re-absorption region in the semi-empirical model.

Machine Learning for heat radiation modeling of bi-and polydisperse particle systems including walls

We investigated the ability of four popular Machine Learning methods i.e.,Deep Neural Networks(DNNs),Random Forest-based regressors(RFRs),Extreme Gradient Boosting-based regressors(XGBs),and stacked ensembles of DNNs,to model the radiative heat transfer based on view factors in bi-and polydisperse particle beds including walls.Before training and analyzing the predictive capability of each method,an adjustment of markers used in monodisperse systems,as well as an evaluation of new markers was performed.On the basis of our dataset that considers a wide range of particle radii ratios,system sizes,particle volume fractions,as well as different particle-species volume fractions,we found that(i)the addition of particle size information allows the transition from monodisperse to bi-and polydisperse beds,and(ii)the addition of particle volume fraction information as the fourth marker leads to very accurate predictions.In terms of the overall performance,DNNs and RFRs should be preferred compared to the other two options.For particle-particle view factors,DNN and RFR are on par,while for particle-wall the RFR is superior.We demonstrate that DNNs and RFRs can be built to meet or even exceed the prediction quality standards achieved in a monodisperse system.

A total dose radiation model for deep submicron PDSOI NMOS

In most of the total dose radiation models, the drift of the threshold voltage and the degradation of the carrier mobility were only studied when the bulk potential is zero. However, the measured data indicate that the total dose effect is closely related to the bulk potential. In order to model the influence of the bulk potential on the total dose effect, we proposed a macro model. The change of the threshold voltage, carrier mobility and leakage current with different bulk potentials were all modeled in this model, and the model is well verified by the measured data based on the 0.35μm PDSOI process developed by the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, especially the part of the leakage current.

Analysis of solar radiation changes in Chinese solar greenhouses with different roof structures based on a solar radiation model

Chinese solar greenhouses(CSGs)are important agricultural production facilities.Under non-artificial heating conditions,solar radiation is the only CSGs energy source.It is highly important to optimally obtain solar energy in greenhouse construction and production.In this study,a solar radiation model for solar greenhouses was adopted to explore the quantities of solar radiation in greenhouses considering different front roof forms and angles.Herein,the solar radiation amounts corresponding to five roof forms,namely,double-section arc,parabolic,oval,arc,and linear roofs,are compared and analyzed during the four solar periods(beginning of spring,vernal equinox,beginning of winter,and winter solstice).It was found that the solar radiation of oval roof greenhouses on the ground was the largest and was 4.44%-23.68%higher than that of parabolic roofs.In addition,the cumulative sum of light on the linear roof greenhouse wall is also the largest and was 6.02%to 12.08%higher than the parabolic roof greenhouse in the four solar terms.Moreover,the solar radiation in CSGs was compared with front roof angles of 25°,30°,and 35°.It was observed that the solar radiation amount gradually increases with increasing angles.Notably,the variation at an angle of 35°influences the solar radiation of the paraboloidal CSGs ground and elliptical CSGs north wall to the greatest extent,which increased by 8.23%and 12.74%,respectively.This study confirms the role of front roof form and inclination angle in enhancing the greenhouse solar radiation level.

Thermal Radiation Modelling in Tunnel Fires

Modelling based on Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)is by now effectively used in fire research and hazard analysis.Depending on the scenario,radiative heat transfer can play a very important role in enclosure combustion events such as tunnel fires.In this work,the importance of radiation and the effect of the use of different approaches to account for it were assessed.Firstly,small-scale tunnel fire simulations were performed and the results compared with experimental data,then realistic full-scale scenarios were simulated.The results show up the capability of CFD modelling to reproduce with good approximation tunnel fires.Radiation proved to be noteworthy mainly when the scale of the fire is relatively large.Among the various approaches employed to simulate radiation,the use of the Discrete Transfer model gave the most accurate results,mainly when the absorption-emission characteristics of the combustion products were taken into account.Finally,the suitability of the use of CFD in quantitative Fire Hazard Analysis is discussed.

CONVERGENCE RATE OF SOLUTIONS TO STRONG CONTACT DISCONTINUITY FOR THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL COMPRESSIBLE RADIATION HYDRODYNAMICS MODEL

This paper is concerned with a singular limit for the one-dimensional compress- ible radiation hydrodynamics model. The singular limit we consider corresponds to the physical problem of letting the Bouguer number infinite while keeping the Boltzmann number constant. In the case when the corresponding Euler system admits a contact discontinuity wave, Wang and Xie （2011） [12] recently verified this singular limit and proved that the solution of the compressible radiation hydrodynamics model converges to the strong contact 1 discontinuity wave in the L∞-norm away from the discontinuity line at a rate of ε1/4, as the reciprocal of the Bouguer number tends to zero. In this paper, Wang and Xie＇s convergence rate is improved to ε7/8 by introducing a new a priori assumption and some refined energy estimates. Moreover, it is shown that the radiation flux q tends to zero in the L∞-norm away from the discontinuity line, at a convergence rate as the reciprocal of the Bouguer number tends to zero.

Surface Etching and DNA Damage Induced by Low-Energy Ion Irradiation in Yeast

Bio-effects of survival and etching damage on cell surface and DNA strand breaks were investigated in the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae after exposure by nitrogen ion with an energy below 40 keV. The result showed that 16% of trehalose provided definite protection for cells against vacuum stress compared with glycerol. In contrast to vacuum control, significant morpho- logical damage and DNA strand breaks were observed, in yeast cells bombarded with low-energy nitrogen, by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase- mediated dUTP nick end labeling （TUNEL） immunofluorescence assays. Moreover, PI （propidium iodide） fluorescent staining indicated that cell integrity could be destroyed by ion irradiation. Cell damage eventually affected cell viability and free radicals were involved in cell damage as shown by DMSO （dimethyl sulfoxide） rescue experiment. Our primary experiments demonstrated that yeast cells can be used as an optional experimental model to study the biological effects of low energy ions and be applied to further investigate the mechanism（s） underlying the bio-effects of eukaryotic cells.

A numerical analytic method for electromagnetic radiation accompanying with fracture of rocks

This paper studies Rabinovitch＇s compression experiments on granite and chalk and proposes a.n oscillating dipole model to analyse and simulate the electromagnetic radiation phenomenon caused by fracture of rocks. Our model assumes that the electromagnetic radiation pulses are initiated by vibrations of the charged rock grains on the tips of the crack. The vibrations of the rock grains are stimulated by the pulses of the cracks. Our simulations show comparable results with Rabinovitch＇s compression experiments. From the simulation results, it verifies an assumption that the crack width is inversely proportional to the circular frequency electromagnetic radiation, which is presented by Rabinovitch et al. The simulation results also imply that, by using our oscillating dipole model together with Rabinovitch＇s two equations about the crack length and crack width, we can quantitatively analyse and simulate the electromagnetic radiation phenomenon, which is induced from the fracture of the rocks.

Neural Network for Estimating Daily Global Solar Radiation Using Temperature, Humidity and Pressure as Unique Climatic Input Variables

Solar radiation is one of the most important parameters for applications, development and research related to renewable energy. However, solar radiation measurements are not a simple task for several reasons. In the cases where data are not available, it is very common the use of computational models to estimate the missing data, which are based mainly on the search for relationships between weather variables, such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, sunshine hours, etc. But, many of these are subjective and difficult to measure, and thus they are not always available. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating daily global solar radiation, combining empirical models and artificial neural networks. The model uses temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure as the only climatic input variables. Also, this method is compared with linear regression to verify that the data have nonlinear components. The models are adjusted and validated using data from five meteorological stations in the province of Tucumán, Argentina. Results show that neural networks have better accuracy than empirical models and linear regression, obtaining on average, an error of 2.83 [MJ/m2] in the validation dataset.

A Generalized Layered Radiative Transfer Model in the Vegetation Canopy

In this paper, a generalized layered model for radiation transfer in canopy with high vertical resolution is developed. Differing from the two-stream approximate radiation transfer model commonly used in the land surface models, the generalized model takes into account the effect of complicated canopy morphology and inhomogeneous optical properties of leaves on radiation transfer within the canopy. In the model, the total leaf area index （LAI） of the canopy is divided into many layers. At a given layer, the influences of diffuse radiation angle distributions and leaf angle distributions on radiation transfer within the canopy are considered. The derivation of equations serving the model are described in detail, and these can deal with various diffuse radiation transfers in quite broad categories of canopy with quite inhomogeneons vertical structures and uneven leaves with substantially different optical properties of adaxial and abaxial faces of the leaves. The model is used to simulate the radiation transfer for canopies with horizontal leaves to validate the generalized model. Results from the model are compared with those from the two-stream scheme, and differences between these two models are discussed.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SOUND RADIATION ON GEARBOX'S HOUSING

The fluid-structure coupling finite element model and the boundary element model of a complex gearbox＇s housing are built based on the theory of fluid-structure coupling finite element method and boundary element method. At the same time, the exciting forces of the housing are analyzed and applied to the finite element models. Firstly, vibration of the housing is calculated by the fluid-structure coupling finite element model; secondly, the calculated result is verified by the experiment; finally, sound radiation of the housing is calculated by the boundary element. According to the calculated results, the housing adds some ribs not only to increase the strength, but also to reduce the sound radiation of the housing. At last, the sound radiation of the modified housing is calculated, which shows that the sound radiation of the modified housing with ribs is lower.

In this work,a parametric two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD)analysis of a solar chimney power plant(a prototype located in Manzanares,Spain)is presented to illustrate the effects of the solar radiation mode in the collector on the plant performances.The simulations rely on a mathematical model that includes solar radiation within the collector;energy storage;air flow and heat transfer,and a turbine.It is based on the Navier-Stokes equation for turbulent flow formulated according to the standard k-εmodel.Moreover,the Boussinesq approach is used to account for the fluid density variations.Different solar radiation modes in the collector are compared and discussed.The obtained results are also compared with available experimental results.It is shown that the radiation model is essential to avoid overestimation of the energy absorbed by the plant and that results based on a two-dimensional model can resemble closely those produced by three-dimensional models.

A STUDY OF MICROWAVE RADIATION TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS IN STRATIFIED PRECIPITATION CLOUDS BY COMBINING STRATIFIED CLOUD MODEL WITH MICROWAVE RADIATION TRANSFER MODEL

In this paper,the effect of precipitation particles on microwave radiation transfer characteristics in stratified clouds over the ocean is studied by combining stratified cloud model with microwave radiation transfer model.By comparing the calculated results with the true data,it is found that precipitation particle distribution and water shell around ice phase particle strongly affect the upwelling radiation.Therefore,the precipitation particle distribution and water shell around ice phase particle must be considered when a calculating scheme is designed for retrieving precipitation in stratified clouds by the use of microwave radiation transfer model.

Numerical simulation of laser-induced plasma in background gas considering multiple interaction processes

Laser-induced plasma is often produced in the presence of background gas,which causes some new physical processes.In this work,a two-dimensional axisymmetric radiation fluid dynamics model is used to numerically simulate the expansion process of plasma under different pressures and gases,in which the multiple interaction processes of diffusion,viscosity and heat conduction between the laser ablated target vapor and the background gas are further considered,and the spatio-temporal evolutions of plasma parameters(species number density,expansion velocity,size and electron temperature)as well as the emission spectra are obtained.The consistency between the actual and simulated spectra of aluminum plasma in 1 atm argon verifies the correctness of the model and the numerical simulation,thus providing a refinement analysis method for the basic research of plasma expansion in gases and the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

Influence of complex topography on global solar radiation in the Yangtze River Basin

Global solar radiation（GSR） is the most direct source and form of global energy, and calculation of its quantity is highly complex due to influences of local topography and terrain inter-shielding. Digital elevation model（DEM） data as a representation of the complex terrain and multiplicity condition produces a series of topographic factors（e.g. slope, aspect, etc.）. Based on 1 km resolution DEM data, meteorological observations and NOAA-AVHRR remote sensing data, a distributed model for the calculation of GSR over rugged terrain within the Yangtze River Basin has been developed. The overarching model permits calculation of astronomical solar radiation for rugged topography and comprises a distributed direct solar radiation model, a distributed diffuse radiation model and a distributed terrain reflectance radiation model. Using the developed model, a quantitative simulation of the GSR space distribution and visualization has been undertaken, with results subsequently analyzed with respect to locality and terrain. Analyses suggest that GSR magnitude is seasonally affected, while the degree of influence was found to increase in concurrence with increasing altitude. Moreover, GSR magnitude exhibited clear spatial variation with respect to the dominant local aspect; GSR values associated with the sunny southern slopes were significantly greater than those associated with shaded slopes. Error analysis indicates a mean absolute error of 12.983 MJm-2 and a mean relative error of 3.608%, while the results based on a site authentication procedure display an absolute error of 22.621 MJm-2 and a relative error of 4.626%.
