Comprehensive two-dimensional river ice model based on boundary-fitted coordinate transformation method

River ice is a natural phenomenon in cold regions, influenced by meteorology, geomorphology, and hydraulic conditions. River ice processes involve complex interactions between hydrodynamic, mechanical, and thermal processes, and they are also influenced by weather and hydrologic conditions. Because natural rivers are serpentine, with bends, narrows, and straight reaches, the commonly-used one-dimensional river ice models and two-dimensional models based on the rectangular Cartesian coordinates are incapable of simulating the physical phenomena accurately. In order to accurately simulate the complicated river geometry and overcome the difficulties of numerical simulation resulting from both complex boundaries and differences between length and width scales, a two-dimensional river ice numerical model based on a boundary-fitted coordinate transformation method was developed. The presented model considers the influence of the frazil ice accumulation under ice cover and the shape of the leading edge of ice cover during the freezing process. The model is capable of determining the velocity field, the distribution of water temperature, the concentration distribution of frazil ice, the transport of floating ice, the progression, stability, and thawing of ice cover, and the transport, accumulation, and erosion of ice under ice cover. A MacCormack scheme was used to solve the equations numerically. The model was validated with field observations from the Hequ Reach of the Yellow River. Comparison of simulation results with field data indicates that the model is capable of simulating the river ice process with high accuracy.

Combined Method of Datum Transformation Between Different Coordinate Systems

The similarity transformation model between different coordinate systems is not accurate enough to describe the discrepancy of them.Therefore,the coordinate transformation from the coordinate frame with poor accuracy to that with high accuracy cannot guarantee a high precision of transformation.In this paper,a combined method of similarity transformation and regressive approximating is presented.The local error accumulation and distortion are taken into consideration and the precision of coordinate system is improved by using the recommended method

Hawking effect and quantum nonthermal radiation of an arbitrarily accelerating charged black hole using a new tortoise coordinate transformation

Using a new tortoise coordinate transformation, this paper investigates the Hawking effect from an arbitrarily accelerating charged black hole by the improved Damour-Ruffini method. After the tortoise coordinate transformation, the Klein-Gordon equation can be written as the standard form at the event horizon. Then extending the outgoing wave from outside to inside of the horizon analytically, the surface gravity and Hawking temperature can be obtained automatically. It is found that the Hawking temperatures of different points on the surface are different. The quantum nonthermal radiation characteristics of a black hole near the event horizon is also discussed by studying the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in curved spacetime and the maximum overlap of the positive and negative energy levels near the event horizon is given. There is a dimensional problem in the standard tortoise coordinate and the present results may be more reasonable.

A complete solution of an improved universal 3D coordinate similarity transformation model

When linearizing three-dimensional(3 D)coordinate similarity transformation model with large rotations,we usually encounter the ill-posed normal matrix which may aggravate the instability of solutions.To alleviate the problem,a series of conversions are contributed to the 3 D coordinate similarity transformation model in this paper.We deduced a complete solution for the 3 D coordinate similarity transformation at any rotation with the nonlinear adjustment methodology,which involves the errors of the common and the non-common points.Furthermore,as the large condition number of the normal matrix resulted in an intractable form,we introduced the bary-centralization technique and a surrogate process for deterministic element of the normal matrix,and proved its benefit for alleviating the condition number.The experimental results show that our approach can obtain the smaller condition number to stabilize the convergence of the interested parameters.Especially,our approach can be implemented for considering the errors of the common and the non-common points,thus the accuracy of the transformed coordinates improves.

Correlation of coordinate transformation parameters

Coordinate transformation parameters between two spatial Cartesian coordinate systems can be solved from the positions of non-colinear corresponding points. Based on the characteristics of translation, rotation and zoom components of the transformation, the complete solution is divided into three steps. Firstly, positional vectors are regulated with respect to the centroid of sets of points in order to separate the translation compo- nents. Secondly, the scale coefficient and rotation matrix are derived from the regulated positions independent- ly and correlations among transformation model parameters are analyzed. It is indicated that this method is applicable to other sets of non-position data to separate the respective attributions for transformation parameters.

Grid Model for High-accuracy Coordinate Transformation of China Geodetic Coordinate System 2000

After implementing CGCS2000,establishing grid models for high-accuracy coordinate transformation which are mainly used to transform border lines and coordinate grids of topographic maps becomes an important issue in mapping applications.Consequently,a grid model for high-accuracy coordinate transformation of CGCS2000 is proposed.Specifically,we firstly analyze a minimum curvature equation of coordinate transformation,which possesses the characteristics of both the global and local smoothness,achieving better consistency with the consecutive smoothness for the coordinate transformation of map’s linear feature.Then an iterative calculation method of grid nodes and an approach for establishing regional grid models based on collocation by two-step minimization are proposed.Meanwhile,a data structure of grid model is constructed.Finally we give the optimized grid interval and transformation accuracy in China corresponding to the proposed grid model.Using 48 433 points of 2000 National Geodetic Control Network of China,we take the proposed model into practice by constructing grid models for coordinate transformation from BJS54 and XAS80 to CGCS2000,and the external positional accuracies for both models are 0.26 m and 0.03 m respectively.

The Functional Gradient Description Method of Space Coordinate Transformation

The 3-dimension coordinate datum transformation is very important in geomatics.Generally,there are small angle coordinate transformation model (i.e.,Bursa model,et al) and large angle coordinate transformation model (i.e.,Rodrigo matrix model,et al).However,these papers only focus on the fixed and static situation regardless of the small or large angle.This paper proposes the conception of coordinate transformation gradient field,which can realize the space coordinate transformation from small angle to arbitrary angle,and from static to dynamical.Based on the equivalent characteristics of the unit quaternion rotation matrix and the Rodrigo matrix,through studying the mathematical relationship between the spatial coordinate transformation and the functional gradient,we derive a functional gradient expression of the arbitrary transformation formula in space.The study shows that the essence of spatial coordinate transformation is a kind of potential field mathematically.This potential field conception can unify all the space coordinate transformations.It is the theoretical foundation for the further study of time continuous space coordinate transformation,and this study gives a new solution for the attitude determination of motion carriers.

Evaluation of the Direct UTM Coordinates Transformation Method Based on the Standard 7-Parameters Transformation

GNSS(global navigation satellite system)observations produce the geodetic position including latitude,longitude,and altitude(or ellipsoidal height)concerning the global reference datum WGS84(Word Geodetic System 1984),which usually should be converted to another local datum to get the desired position meaning in a physical sense,coordinates of points in the local datum are usually calculated by the seven-parameter transformation method.This paper aims to validate the methods of position transformation between WGS84 and the Iraqi local datum Karbala 1979 using the UTM(universal transverse Mercator)projected coordinates directly.The proposed algorithm was tested for 10 ground control points in Erbil city and many selected points in other different cities over all Iraqi territory.The control points are measured by the CHCNAV i73 GNSS receiver.For the evaluation procedure,the RMSE(root mean square error)of the transformed coordinates is calculated with an average value of±10.715 m as an estimated uncertainty of the direct UTM coordinates transformation method over Erbil city territory,and more than±12 m over different places over Iraqi territory.

A Modified T/2 Fractionally Spaced Coordinate Transformation Blind Equalization Algorithm

When T/2 Fractionally Spaced blind Equalization Algorithm based Constant Modulus Algorithm (T/2-FSE- CMA) is employed for equalizing higher order Quadrature Amplitude Modulation signals (QAM), it has disadvantages of low convergence speed and large Mean Square Error (MSE). For overcoming these disadvantages, a Modified T/2 Fractionally Spaced blind Equalization algorithm based on Coordinate Transformation and CMA (T/2-FSE-MCTCMA) was proposed by analyzing the character of 16QAM signal constellations. In the proposed algorithm, real and imaginary parts of input signal of T/2 fractionally spaced blind equalizer are equalized, respectively, and output signals of equalizer are transformed to the same unit circle by coordinate transformation method, a new error function is defined after making coordinate transformation and used to adjust weight vector of T/2 fractionally spaced blind equalizer. The proposed algorithm can overcome large misjudgments of T/2 fractionally spaced blind equalization algorithm for equalizing multi-modulus higher order QAM. Simulation results with underwater acoustic channel models demonstrate that the proposed T/2-FSE-MCTCMA algorithm outperforms T/2 Fractionally Spaced blind Equalization algorithm bas-ed on Coordinate Transformation and CMA (T/2-FSE-CTCMA) and the T/2-FSE-CMA in convergence rate and MSE.

Coordinate Transformation and Exact Solutions of Schrodinger Equation with Position-Dependent Effective Mass

Using the coordinate transformation method, we solve the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation with position-dependent mass. The explicit expressions for the potentials, energy eigenvalues, and eigenfunctions of the systems are given. The eigenfunctions can be expressed in terms of the Jacobi, Hermite, and generalized Laguerre polynomials. All potentials for these solvable systems have an extra term Vm, which is produced from the dependence of mass on the position, compared with those for the systems of constant mass. The properties of Vm for several mass functions are discussed.

A New Regularized Solution to Ill-Posed Problem in Coordinate Transformation

Coordinates transformation is generally required in GPS applications. If the transformation parameters are solved with the known coordinates in a small area using the Bursa model, the precision of transformed coordinates is generally very poor. Since the translation parameters and rotation parameters are highly correlated in this case, a very large condition number of the coefficient matrix A exists in the linear system of equations. Regularization is required to reduce the effects caused by the intrinsic ill-conditioning of the problem and noises in the data, and to stabilize the solution. Based on advanced regularized methods, we propose a new regularized solution to the ill-posed coordinate transformation problem. Simulation numerical experiments of coordinate transformation are given to shed light on the relationship among different regularization approaches. The results indicate that the proposed new method can obtain a more reasonable resolution with higher precision and/or robustness.

Uzbekistan's coordinate system transformation from CS42 to WGS84 using distortion grid model

Currently,a non-geocentric geodetic coordinate system introduced in 1942(CS42),based on the Krasovsky ellipsoid and the Baltic system of normal heights introduced in 1977,is used for geodetic works in the Republic of Uzbekistan.The development of the GNSS network proposes a task of transition to a new geocentric system based on the World Geodetic System 1984(WGS84)ellipsoid.Many software products adopt 3-or 7-parameter conversions,which can cause errors up to several meters and are not suitable for many applications.In this case,local transformations using a grid of differences between observation points with known coordinates in both datums would give the best accuracy.In this paper,we discuss various interpolation methods(Kriging,Minimum Curvature,Inverse Distance to a Power and Radial Basis Function)to solve the distortion modeling between CS42 and WGS84 systems for national datum improvement.The results show that the distortion models share a common tendency for all interpolation methods:the maximum horizontal displacements are concentrated along the West Tien Shan lineament,which is the boundary of the relief lowering.The discrepancies between the grid-based(calculated)and GPS-measured coordinates are evaluated.Statistical and spatial analysis has confirmed that for the co-ordinate transformation from CS42 to WGS84 and vice versa,grid-based transformation with Radial Basis Function interpolation has a high accuracy transformation.Analysis of the available data across the eastern part of the country shows that some positional distortions existed between the CS42 and WGS84 datums.For the best RBF method,the magnitude of these distortions is about 0.019-0.755 m with a standard deviation of 0.015 m.

Water Wave Focusing Using Coordinate Transformation

In this paper, wave focusing based on a coordinate transformation is proposed. It is known that the 2-dimensional wave equation which governs a shallow water problem in a potential theory can keep invariance under coordinate transformation. Once equivalent medium parameters are obtained so as to keep the invariance, wave rays can be arbitrarily designed. We show the design of equivalent medium for wave squeezing to focus waves on a specific domain. Numerical computations are carried out by a finite element based software COMSOL Multiphysics. Results show good agreement between predictions from the theory and computations. It can be applied for a wide range of frequency because the proposed method is able to be applied regardless of the frequency.

Two-dimensional(2D)supports confined single-atom catalysts(2D SACs)with unique geometric and electronic structures have been attractive candidates in different catalytic applications,such as energy conversion and storage,value-added chemical synthesis and environmental remediation.However,their environmental appli-cations lack of a comprehensive summary and in-depth discussion.In this review,recent progresses in synthesis routes and advanced characterization techniques for 2D SACs are introduced,and a comprehensive discussion on their applications in environmental remediation is presented.Generally,2D SACs can be effective in catalytic elimination of aqueous and gaseous pollutants via radical or non-radical routes and transformation of toxic pollutants into less poisonous species or highly value-added products,opening a new horizon for the contami-nant treatment.In addition,in-depth reaction mechanisms and potential pathways are systematically discussed,and the relationship between the structure-performance is highlighted.Finally,several critical challenges within this field are presented,and possible directions for further explorations of 2D SACs in environmental remediation are suggested.Although the research of 2D SACs in the environmental application is still in its infancy,this review will provide a timely summary on the emerging field,and would stimulate tremendous interest for designing more attractive 2D SACs and promoting their wide applications.

Two-dimensional plane strain consolidation of unsaturated soils considering the depth-dependent stress

In practical engineering,the total vertical stress in the soil layer is not constant due to stress diffusion,and varies with time and depth.Therefore,the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of stress diffusion on the two-dimensional(2D)plane strain consolidation properties of unsaturated soils when the stress varies with time and depth.A series of semi-analytical solutions in terms of excess pore air and water pressures and settlement for 2D plane strain consolidation of unsaturated soils can be derived with the joint use of Laplace transform and Fourier sine series expansion.Then,the inverse Laplace transform of the semi-analytical solution is given in the time domain using a self-programmed code based on Crump’s method.The reliability of the obtained solutions is proved by the degeneration.Finally,the 2D plots of excess pore pressures and the curves of settlement varying with time,considering different physical parameters of unsaturated soil stratum and depth-dependent stress,are depicted and analyzed to study the 2D plane strain consolidation properties of unsaturated soils subjected to the depthdependent stress.
