TURBULENT SEPARATED REATTACHED FLOW IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL CURVED-WALL DIFFUSER

A turbulent separation-rcattachment flow in a two-dimensional asymmetrical curved-wall diffuser is studied by a two-dimensional laser doppler velocimeter.The turbulent boundary layer separates on the lower curved wall under strong pressure gradient and then reattaches on a parallel channel.At the inlet of the diffuser,Reynolds number based on the diffuser height is 1.2×10~5 and the velocity is 25.2m/s.The re- sults of experiments are presented and analyzed in new defined streamline-aligned coordinates.The experiment shows that after Transitory Detachment Reynolds shear stress is negative in the near-wall backflow region. Their characteristics are approximately the same as in simple turbulent shear layers near the maximum Reynolds shear stress.A scale is formed using the maximum Reynolds shear stresses.It is found that a Reynolds shear stress similarity exists from separation to reattachment and the Schofield-Perry velocity law ex- ists in the forward shear flow.Both profiles are used in the experimental work that leads to the design of a new eddy-viscosity model.The length scale is taken from that developed by Schofield and Perry.The composite velocity scale is formed by the maximum Reynolds shear stress and the Schofield Perry velocity scale as well as the edge velocity of the boundary layer.The results of these experiments are presented in this paper

Separation and Identification of Differentially Expressed Proteins in Pistillate Flowers between Different Mulberry Cultivars

[Objective] This study aimed to explore the proteins related to pistillate flower development in different mulberry cultivars. [Method] The total proteins of the pistillate flowers of two mulberry cultivars Dal0 （Morus atropurpurea Roxb.） and SG01 （Morus muIticaulis Perr.） were extracted, separated and detected through two- dimensional electrophoresis （2-DE） and mass spectrometry. [Result] There was sig- nificant difference in the expression of proteins from the pistillate flowers of different mulberry cultivars. From the 2-DE images of Dal0 and SG01, 445_＋17 and 425_＋12 protein spots were respectively detected. The expression levels of 75 protein spots differed significantly. Thirteen spots those were expressed at high levels and well separated were analyzed by mass spectrometry, and nine of them were identified successfully. The nine proteins are involved in the glycometabolism, protein and amino acid metabolism and defense responses during the development of mulberry pistillate flower after they were pollinated. [Conclusion] The findings will provide reference for further study on the molecular mechanism of mulberry pistillate flower de- velopment.

A coincidence experimental setup for investigating multiple electron processes

The coincidence experimental setup for studying multiple electron processes at low energies established at the Institute of Modern Physics was presented. The setup includes time-of-flight spectrometer, position sensitive detector, and multi-parameter data acquisition system. Presented were a TOF spectrum for Ar 12+ on Ar collisions, a position spectrum obtained in O 2++He collisions, and a two-dimension spectrum for Ar 8++Ar collisions at 104 keV. The experimental results were analyzed in detail and 12 subprocesses were identified from the two-dimension spectrum.
