NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR STABILITY FOR RAILWAY PASSENGER CARS

The Newton Raphson iteration and QR algorithm are combined to search the Hpf bifurcation point of the vehicle running on straight track and on large radius curved tracks. Limit cycles that are bifurcated from the equilibrium points and the saddle node bifurcation point are computed through employing a variable step Runge Kutta method and the Poincaré map. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out for the stability of a high speed passenger car operating on straight and large radius curved tracks. The influences of the radius of curvature and the superelevation of the track on the stability of the vehicle system are investigated.

A Pragmatic Method to Determine Transient Stability Constrained with Interface Real Power Flow Limits via Power System Scenario Similarity

In practical power systems,operators generally keep interface flowing under the transient stability constrained with interface real power flow limits(TS-IRPFL)to guarantee transient stability of the system.Many methods of computing TS-IRPFL have been proposed.However,in practice,the method widely used to determine TS-IRPFL is based on selection and analysis of typical scenarios as well as scenario matching.First,typical scenarios are selected and analyzed to obtain accurate limits,then the scenario to be analyzed is matched with a certain typical scenario,whose limit is adopted as the forecast limit.In this paper,following the steps described above,a pragmatic method to determine TS-IRPFL is proposed.The proposed method utilizes data-driven tools to improve the steps of scenario selection and matching.First of all,we formulate a clear model of power system scenario similarity.Based on the similarity model,we develop a typical scenario selector by clustering and a scenario matcher by nearest neighbor algorithm.The proposed method is pragmatic because it does not change the existing procedure.Moreover,it is much more reasonable than the traditional method.Test results verify the validity of the method.

Analysis of Effects of the Arc Voltage on Arc Discharges in a Cathode Ion Source of Neutral Beam Injector

A hot cathode bucket ion source is used for the EAST（experimental advanced superconducting tokamak）neutral beam injector.The thermal electrons emitted from the surface of the cathode are extracted and accelerated by the electric field formed by the arc voltage,which is applied between the arc chamber of the ion source and the cathode.This paper analyzes the effects of arc voltage on the arc discharge in a hot cathode high current ion source.

Global Zero-relaxation Limit Problem of the Electro-diffusion Model Arising in Electro-Hydrodynamics

In this paper,we study a global zero-relaxation limit problem of the electro-diffusion model arising in electro-hydrodynamics which is the coupled Planck-Nernst-Poisson and Navier-Stokes equations.That is,the paper deals with a singular limit problem of{u^(∈)_(t)+u^(∈)·▽u^(∈)-Δu^(∈)+▽P^(∈)=Δφ^(∈)▽φ^(∈),in R^(3)×(0,∞),▽·u^(∈)=0,in R^(3)×(0,∞),n^(∈)_(t)+u^(∈)·▽n^(∈)-Δn^(∈)=-▽·(n^(∈)▽φ^(∈)),in R^(3)×(0,∞),ct+u^(∈)·▽c^(∈)-Δc^(∈)=▽·(c^(∈)▽φ^(∈)),in R^(3)×(0,∞),∈^(-1)φ^(∈)_(t)=Δφ^(∈)-n^(∈)+c^(∈),in R^(3)×(0,∞),(u^(∈),n^(∈),c^(∈),φ^(∈))|t=0=(u0,n0,c0,φ0),in R^(3) involving with a positive,large parameter^(∈).The present work show a case that(u^(∈),n^(∈),c^(∈))stabilizes to(u^(∞),n∞,c∞):=(u,n,c)uniformly with respect to the time variable as^(∈)→+∞with respect to the strong topology in a certain Fourier-Herz space.

Control of exhaled SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols in the interpersonal breathing microenvironment in a ventilated room with limited space air stability

The Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19)highlights the importance of understanding and controlling the spread of the coronavirus between persons.We experimentally and numerically investigated an advanced engineering and environmental method on controlling the transmission of airborne SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols in the breathing microenvironment between two persons during interactive breathing process by combining the limited space air stability and a ventilation method.Experiments were carried out in a full-scale ventilated room with different limited space air stability conditions,i.e.,stable condition,neutral condition and unstable condition.Two real humans were involved to conducted normal breathing process in the room and the exhaled carbon dioxide was used as the surrogate of infectious airborne SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols from respiratory activities.A correspondent numerical model was established to visualize the temperature field and contaminated field in the test room.Results show that the performance of a ventilation system on removing infectious airborne SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols from the interpersonal breathing microenvironment is dependent on the limited space air stability conditions.Appropriate ventilation method should be implemented based on an evaluation of the air condition.It is recommended that total volume ventilation methods are suitable for unstable and neutral conditions and local ventilation methods are preferable for stable conditions.This study provides an insight into the transmission of airborne SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols between persons in ventilated rooms with different limited space air stability conditions.Useful guidance has been provided to cope with COVID-19 in limited spaces.

Nonlinear VSC Technique for Power Sys－tem Integrate Controlers

This paper studies the nonlinear variable structure control (VSC) technique for designing power system integrate control systems which include an excitation controller and fast valve controller.A new method is applied to find nonlinear switching surface in deriving the control strategy.The responses to various large perturbation are simulated.The simuulation results show that the nonlinear VSC technique for integrated control systems can considerably improve the transient stabilization limitation of power systems and improve the dynamic properties of the generators.
