Survey on performance of vertical slot and nature-like fishways at Angu hydropower station, Southwest China

To restore dam-blocked natural fish migratory passages,a growing number of artificial fishways have been built in water conservancy and hydropower projects in China.The Angu hydropower station involved diverse important fish habitats in the lower reaches of the Daduhe River in Southwest China.Therefore,a vertical slot fishway(VSF)and a nature-like fishway(NLF)were built near the backwater area of the reservoir to connect the upstream and downstream habitats.Hydrodynamic and aquatic ecological surveys were conducted after the completion of the project to estimate the fish passing effect of the two fishways.The results indicated that both fishways were in effective operation and could maintain the desired hydrodynamic conditions and be used by several local fish species.During the survey,149 fish from 15 species and 111 fish from 17 species were captured by the traps in the VSF and NLF,respectively,while 1263 fish from 27 species were found in the downstream area.Some species captured in the VSF were not found in the NLF,and vice versa,which implied the different preferences of fish.Meanwhile,3789 signals including 2099 upward ones and 1690 downward ones were monitored with an ultrasonic fish detector at the inlet of the VSF.These findings revealed the characteristics of fish species observed in and near the fishways and provided valuable insights into the different fish passing capabilities of VSFandNLF.

Five-phase Synchronous Reluctance Machines Equipped with a Novel Type of Fractional Slot Winding

Multi-phase machines are so attractive for electrical machine designers because of their valuable advantages such as high reliability and fault tolerant ability.Meanwhile,fractional slot concentrated windings(FSCW)are well known because of short end winding length,simple structure,field weakening sufficiency,fault tolerant capability and higher slot fill factor.The five-phase machines equipped with FSCW,are very good candidates for the purpose of designing motors for high reliable applications,like electric cars,major transporting buses,high speed trains and massive trucks.But,in comparison to the general distributed windings,the FSCWs contain high magnetomotive force(MMF)space harmonic contents,which cause unwanted effects on the machine ability,such as localized iron saturation and core losses.This manuscript introduces several new five-phase fractional slot winding layouts,by the means of slot shifting concept in order to design the new types of synchronous reluctance motors(SynRels).In order to examine the proposed winding’s performances,three sample machines are designed as case studies,and analytical study and finite element analysis(FEA)is used for validation.

Stress release mechanism of deep bottom hole rock by ultra-high-pressure water jet slotting

To solve the problems of rock strength increase caused by high in-situ stress,the stress release method with rock slot in the bottom hole by an ultra-high-pressure water jet is proposed.The stress conditions of bottom hole rock,before and after slotting are analyzed and the stress release mechanism of slotting is clarified.The results show that the stress release by slotting is due to the coupling of three factors:the relief of horizontal stress,the stress concentration zone distancing away from the cutting face,and the increase of pore pressure caused by rock mass expansion;The stress concentration increases the effective stress of rock along the radial distance from O.6R to 1R(R is the radius of the well),and the presence of groove completely releases the stress,it also allows the stress concentration zone to be pushed away from the cutting face,while significantly lowering the value of stresses in the area the drilling bit acting,the maximum stress release efficiency can reach 80%.The effect of slotting characteristics on release efficiency is obvious when the groove location is near the borehole wall.With the increase of groove depth,the stress release efficiency is significantly increased,and the release range of effective stress is enlarged along the axial direction.Therefore,the stress release method and results of simulations in this paper have a guiding significance for best-improving rock-breaking efficiency and further understanding the technique.

Effect of an Inclined Slots on the Power Consumption and Vortices Size in a Rushton Turbine Agitated Tank

Mechanical agitation in baffled vessels with turbines plays a vital role in achieving homogeneous fluid mixing and promoting various transfer operations.Therefore,designing vessels with optimal energy efficiency and flow dynamics is essential to enhance operational performance and eliminate flow perturbations.Hence,the present research focuses on a numerical investigation of the impact of inclined slots with different angles installed at the side-wall of a cylindrical vessel equipped with a Rushton turbine.This study explores power consumption and vortex size while considering various rotation directions of the impeller with different rotation speeds.The numerical simulations are conducted for Reynolds numbers ranging from 104 to 105,using the RANS k-εturbulence model to govern the flow inside the stirred vessel,accounting for mass and momentum balances.The results have shown that the installation of slots reduces power consumption and vortex size compared to conventional vessel configu-rations.Moreover,increasing the slot angle from 0 to 32.5°further reduces energy consumption and vortex size,especially with negative rotation speeds.On the other hand,increasing the Reynolds numbers leads to a decrease in power consumption and an increase in vortex size.The present research therefore proposes a design for con-structing Rushton-turbine stirred vessels offering optimal operation,characterized by reduced energy consumption and minimized vortex size.

Adaptive Time Slot Resource Allocation in SWIPT IoT Networks

The rapid advancement of Internet of Things(IoT)technology has brought convenience to people’s lives;however further development of IoT faces serious challenges,such as limited energy and shortage of network spectrum resources.To address the above challenges,this study proposes a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer IoT adaptive time slot resource allocation(SIATS)algorithm.First,an adaptive time slot consisting of periods for sensing,information transmission,and energy harvesting is designed to ensure that the minimum energy harvesting requirement ismet while the maximumuplink and downlink throughputs are obtained.Second,the optimal transmit power and channel assignment of the system are obtained using the Lagrangian dual and gradient descent methods,and the optimal time slot assignment is determined for each IoT device such that the sum of the throughput of all devices is maximized.Simulation results show that the SIATS algorithm performs satisfactorily and provides an increase in the throughput by up to 14.4%compared with that of the fixed time slot allocation(FTS)algorithm.In the case of a large noise variance,the SIATS algorithm has good noise immunity,and the total throughput of the IoT devices obtained using the SIATS algorithm can be improved by up to 34.7%compared with that obtained using the FTS algorithm.

Numerical Study on Mechanism of Blast-Induced Damage Considering Guiding Effect of Water Jet Slot

Damage is one of the most important characteristics of rock failure.Studying the damage mechanism of rock blasting under the guiding effect of the water jet slot and revealing the mechanism of controlled blasting with water jet assistance are crucial.In this study,a rock-like material was chosen as the research object for the calibration experiment of the numerical model.The numerical simulation models were then established by ANSYS/LS-DYNA,and the blastinduced damage mechanism under the guiding effect of the water jet slot was analyzed according to the blasting theory.The results indicated that explosive energy accumulates toward the direction of the slot as the guiding effect of the water jet slot,which allows the rock mass in the direction of the slot bear more damage.Meanwhile,the rock mass in the middle of the connection line between two blast-holes bears more damage under the combination of the effect of the explosion stress wave and guiding effect of water the jet slot on the detonation gas during double-slotted borehole blasting,which results in the formation of a gourd-shaped blast-induced damage area.In addition,the influence of the water jet slot on blast-induced damage varies depending on the blasting-process stage.

联合多意图识别与语义槽填充的双向交互模型

意图识别与语义槽填充是口语理解的两个主要任务,两者具有高度相关性,通常进行联合训练。随着口语理解任务的深入,研究发现用户在现实场景中的话语往往含有多个意图。但部分联合模型只能识别用户话语中的单个意图,未能充分建模多个意图和语义槽之间的关联性。考虑到话语中多个意图的信息可以引导语义槽填充,语义槽信息也可以帮助意图更好的识别,模型采用图注意力网络建立意图和语义槽之间的双向交互。具体的,将两个任务双向关联以便模型能够挖掘多个意图与语义槽之间的关系,同时引入两个任务的标签信息使模型能够学习到话语上下文和标签的关系,从而提高意图识别与语义槽填充的准确率,优化口语理解的整体性能。实验表明,模型在MixATIS和MixSNIPS两个多意图数据集上对比其他模型性能得到了显著提升。

一种应用于TDMA无线传感网的低能耗同步机制

为了降低时分多址网络中时钟同步所导致的节点能耗,根据节点晶振器件的潜在漂移,提出了一种应用于星型无线传感网的低能耗同步机制。该机制中整个时间轴由长帧组成,每个长帧包含一个同步帧与多个子帧,每个子帧由所有子节点绑定的子时隙构成。根节点在长帧开始时发送同步帧,使得所有子节点时钟同步。每个子时隙增加了相应的保护间隔,有效地避免子节点之间因时钟漂移导致时隙间相互影响,从而最大限度地增加长帧中的子帧数量,降低子节点唤醒进行同步的频率。与传统的TDMA每个子帧均需同步相比,从接收同步帧角度来讲,大幅度减少了子节点能耗。最后,假定晶振频率误差为正态分布的情况下,利用MATLAB进行仿真,验证了该低能耗同步模型公式的正确性,并将仿真情况在CC1310器件构建的星型网上进行了应用验证。
