Vertical structure and seasonal variation of tidal and residual currents in the northern Huanghai Sea

Analysis of tidal current and sea level has been made based on the observations from the summer of 2006 to the winter of 2007,respectively.The result indicates that a two-layer structure of residual current exists in summer,with its upper layer going northwestward and the lower layer southeastward.In addition,some strong residuals exist in the neighboring depth of the pycnocline during the current period of astronomical tide.In winter,except some individual layersthe residual currents mostly direct to the northwest,from which we can see the fluctuation of abnormal sea-level and the appearance of associated current because of the changes of the wind field.The analysis of tidal ellipse indicates that the direction of the maximum semidiurnal component is clockwise from summer to winter,with an angle of 16-18.Moreover,in summer the semidiurnal component rotates with depth clockwise while the diurnal component counterclockwise.However,the vertical structure is almost homogeneous in winter.

A three-dimensional numerical calculation of the wind-driven thermohaline and tide-induced Lagrangian residual current in the Bohai Sea

On the basis of a three-dimensional weakly nonliear theory of Lagrangian residual current in the Baroclinic shallow seas, a diagnostic numerical calculation of wind-driven, thermohaline and tide-induced Lagrangian residual current in the Bohai Sea is made. The model involves the Richardson number in the eddy viscosity coefficient, wind, thcrmolialine and tidal effects in the focing terms. The runoff of the Huanghe River and a part of the Huanghai Warm Water coming from the Huanghai Sea through the Bohai Sea Strait is also considered. The velocity-splitting method is adopted. The wind-driven circu lation, thermohaline circulation and the tide-induced Lagrangian residual circulation are also obtained individually and analysed. The dynamics of the three main eddies in the Lagrangian mean circulation is discussed. Finally, the numerical result is partly verified with the observed data.

Numerical study on residual current and its impact on mass transport in the Hangzhou Bay and the Changjiang Estuary Ⅱ. Residual current and its impact on mass transport in winter

Some observational characteristics of residual current and mass transport in the Hangzhou Bay and the Changjiang Estuary in winter are analyzed. The residual current and its impact on mass transport are simulated with a 3 - D joint model for the Hangzhou Bay and the Changjiang Estuary, in which the impacts of river flux, wind, baroclinic pressure gradient (BPG), background current in the East China Sea and tide (including M2, S2, K1 and O1) are taken into account. Based on there studies, further simulations are made to analyze the dynamical mechanisms of the observational characteristics.

Numerical modelling of the tide - induced residual current in the East China Sea

-A two-dimensional.nonlinear numerical model is used to study the residual current generated by tides in the East China Sea (ECS)and the South Huanghai Sea (SHS). At first, the principal semidiurnal lunar tide (M2)and the tidal current are derived in these areas. The results obtained with the model are strongly supported by the observational results available. Then, the tide-induced residual flow is determined by using the currents generated by the tidal input. The main features of the residual current in ECS and SHS are presented by analyzing the calculated results. Some of the problems are discussed such as the cause of generating residual current and the contribution of the residual current to the observed current.

Residual currents in plume front zone of the Hangzhou Bay

It is of some limitations to analyse residual currents by means of the 25 h anchored current measurements. On the basis of the drift tracking and the mooring system data, here, analyses have been done aiming at the structural characteristics and the dynamical mechanisms of the frontal residual current field of the Hangzhou Bay. Especially a theoritical model is given focusing on the frontal density-driven currents. The results indicate that there exists obviously the upper-layer front-driven flow along the orientation of the front during neap tides in the research area of the Hangzhou Bay. But the flow is restrained by the strong vortical viscosity during spring tides. In the lower layer, the effect of the front is little and the subtidal movements are dominated by the tide-induced residual currents. In addition, the influences of wind forcing to the residual current field are also suggested to be important.

Numerical study on tidal currents and seawater exchange in the Benoa Bay, Bali, Indonesia

A three-dimensional （3-D） finite volume coastal ocean model （FVCOM） was used for the study of water cir culation and seawater exchange in the Benoa Bay, Bali Island. The M2 tidal component was forced in open boundary and discharge from six rivers was included in the numerical calculation. The M2 tidal elevation produced by the FVCOM has a good agreement with the observation data. The M2 tidal current is also suc cessfully calculated under the ebb tide and flood tide conditions. The non-linear M2 tidal residual current was produced by the coastline geometry, especially surrounding the narrow strait between the Serangan Is- land and the Benoa Peninsula. The tidal residual current also generated two small eddies within the bay and one small eddy in the bay mouth. The salinity distribution influenced by river discharge could be success- fully calculated, where the numerical calculation and the observation results have a good correlation （r2） of 0.75. Finally in order to examine the seawater exchange in the Benoa Bay, the Lagrangian particle tracking method and calculation of residence time are applied. The mechanism of particle transport to the flushing of seawater is depicted clearly by both methods.

Characteristics of Water and Sediment Exchange Between Yangtze Estuary and Hangzhou Bay

Based on the 2-D flow and sediment numerical model of the Yangtze Estuary and the Hangzhou Bay, the characteristics of water and sediment exchange in their joint waters is studied through quantitative calculation and analysis of the characteristics of water flow and sediment transportation. The results show that there is periodical water and sediment exchange in this joint waters, that the net water exchange appears mainly between 0 - 6 m depth （theoretical datum plane, the same below） offshore and the maximum is near the depth of 2 m, and that the net sediment exchange mainly appears between 0 - 5 m depth and the maximum is near the depth of 3 m, indicating that the range of water flow passage is different from that of sediment transport from the Yangtze Estuary to the Hangzhou Bay. Combined with the results of numerical simulation, this paper also analyzes the hydrodynamical mechanism influencing water and sediment exchange between the Yangtze Estuary and the Hangzhou Bay, including tidal fluctuation, tidal current kinetic energy, tide-induced residual current and the trace of water particles. Finally, the sediment transportation passage on the Nanhui tidal fiat is discussed, and the results show that sediment is transported into the Hangzhou Bay from the south side of Shipilei, while sediment is brought back to the South Channel of the Yangtze Estuary from the north side.

Residues of Logarithmic Differential Forms in Complex Analysis and Geometry

In the article, we discuss basic concepts of the residue theory of logarithmic and multi-logarithmic differential forms, and describe some aspects of the theory, de-veloped by the author in the past few years. In particular, we introduce the notion of logarithmic differential forms with the use of the classical de Rham lemma and give an explicit description of regular meromorphic differential forms in terms of residues of logarithmic or multi-logarithmic differential forms with respect to hypersurfaces, com-plete intersections or pure-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay spaces. Among other things, several useful applications are considered, which are related with the theory of holo-nomic D-modules, the theory of Hodge structures, the theory of residual currents and others.

In order to improve the evaluation process of inverter open-circuit faults diagnosis in permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)drives,this paper presents a diagnosis method based on current residuals and machine learning models.The machine learning models are introduced to make a comprehensive evaluation for the current residuals obtained from a state observer,instead of evaluating the residuals by comparing with thresholds.Meanwhile,fault diagnosis and location are conducted simultaneously by the machine learning models,which simplifies the diagnosis process.Besides,a sampling strategy is designed to implement the proposed scheme online.Experiments are carried out on a DSP based PMSM drive,and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.

Surface currents measured by GPS drifters in Daya Bay and along the eastern Guangdong coast

GPS-based surface drifters were used to investigate the surface currents in Daya Bay and along the eastern Guangdong coast in China.Surface current vectors were measured based on the GPS location and corresponding time information sent by drifters through the mobile phone network.The analysis of data from 120 drifters,deployed in late spring 2018 in the case-study region,shows that the drifters are generally capable of capturing the surface(tidal and residual)currents.The drifter trajectories suggest an anticlockwise surface current inside Daya Bay and a north-eastward current along the eastern Guangdong coast,where the coastal current along the eastern Guangdong coast is faster than that inside Daya Bay.The surface currents in the investigated region follow an irregular semidiurnal cycle due to the influence of the tidal current,while the currents inside Daya Bay are strongly affected by the topography.According to the harmonic analysis,an irregular semidiurnal type of tidal current is evident at a study grid inside Daya Bay,with an Eulerian residual current speed of 9.0 cm/s and a direction of 276°.The Lagrangian residual current outside Daya Bay moves north-eastward with a mean speed of 22 cm/s along the eastern Guangdong coast,while the current inside Daya Bay moves northward to the bay head with a mean speed of about 8.0 cm/s,which agrees well with the one reported in other literatures.

Single-phase-to-ground Fault Detection with Distributed Parameters Analysis in Non-direct Grounded Systems

The fast and accurate detection of the single-phaseto-ground fault is of great significance for the reliability and safety of the power supply.In this paper,novel algorithms for distribution network protection were proposed with distributed parameters analysis in non-direct grounded systems.At first,novel generating mechanisms of zero-sequence voltage and residual current were proposed.Then the compositions of residue parameters,including residual current and residual admittances,were decomposed in detail.After that,an improved algorithm for a fault resistance calculation of a single phase-to-earth fault was also proposed,and the algorithm is much more convenient as it only needs to measure the variation of the zero-sequence voltage and does not need the prerequisites of the faulty feeder selection.Furthermore,the fault feeder can also be selected by an improved calculation algorithm of zero-sequence admittance of the faulty feeder,which cannot be affected by the asymmetry of the network.Theoretical analysis and the MATALB/Simulink simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
