A wave-absorbing beach was also considered in the general GN equations. A numerical solution for a level higher than 4 was not feasible in the past with the original GN equations. The GN equations for shallow water waves were simplified here, which make the application of high level (higher than 4) equations feasible. The linear dispersion relationships of the first seven levels were presented. The accuracy of dispersion relationships increased as the level increased. Level 7 GN equations are capable of simulating waves out to wave number times depth kd 〈 26. Numerical simulation of nonlinear water waves was performed by use of Level 5 and 7 GN equations, which will be presented in the next paper.展开更多

The method ensures not only the continuity of the potential at the nodes of each element but also the velocity. It can be applied to a variety of velocity potential problems. The present paper, however, focused on its application to the problem of water entry of a wedge with varying speed. The continuity of the velocity achieved herein is particularly important for this kind of nonlinear free surface flow problem, because when the time stepping method is used, the free surface is updated through the velocity obtained at each node and the accuracy of the velocity is therefore crucial. Calculation was made for a case when the distance S that the wedge has travelled and time t follow the relationship s=Dtα, where D and α are constants, which is found to lead to a self similar flow field when the effect due to gravity is ignored.展开更多

The study and evaluation of the stability of the continuously welded rail track will better play the values and roles of the continuously welded rail track. At the same time, through the analysis of the specific factors affecting the stability of the CWR track, especially with the combination of the data simulation, we can thus carry out the more accurate the application of the continuously welded rail track. This paper will explore the construction and application background of the continuously welded rail track, and combine the cognition of the specific factors that affect the stability of the continuously welded rail track, so as to accurately analyze and evaluate the stability of the continuously welded rail track.展开更多

The KML files are associated to the Google Earth applications. Developed by Microdrone company for planning, overflight simulation and data flight analysis, the program mdCockpit was used in this experiment. The UAV Microdrone's flight path was programmed in two ways: using geo referenced images from Google Earth and entering points coordinates into the program. These points have had their geographical decimal coordinates collected by GPS (global positioning system) (RTK (real time kinematic)) method. The aim here is to describe a way of evaluating the difference between the alternatives of flight planning. A flight path, defined a route with 22 points, was also simulated in the program mdCockpit. The points were collected and saved, while the images captured by the program went automatically forming a georeferenced mosaic. A comparison between the differences of coordinates to each point was made by choosing on the images and also by a RTK positioning. The result was up to 14.20 m to a 100 m flight height. There is a significant change of position and this can result in unwanted over flights in locations or even jeopardizing the safety of air activity.展开更多

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of chemical amendments on WEP (water-extractable phosphorus) in applied treatments and DRP (dissolved reactive phosphorus) in runoff from biosolids-amended soils. Rainfall simulations were conducted in 2006 on field plots fertilized with biosolids that had been treated with alum [(A12804)3" 14H20], ferric chloride (FeC13) or an alum-based WTR (water treatment residual) at a rate of 20% (wt/wt) to reduce DRP in runoff. In 2007, rainfall simulations were conducted using WTR/biosolid blends of 15% and 30% (wt/wt) that were allowed to incubate for three weeks prior to application. Cumulative DRP runoff load observed for the 20% WTR treatment was not significantly different from other chemical treatments and resulted in a 45% reduction in DRP runoff as compared to the untreated biosolids application. Cumulative DRP runoff load in 2007 for the 15% and 30% WTR treatments resulted in significantly lower DRP loads compared to untreated biosolids and led to DRP runoff load reductions of 78% and 85% (compared to the untreated biosolids application), respectively.展开更多

It contains several physical models, especially a module for aerosol behaviour. The goal of this work was to extend COCOSYS for applications in more general geometries mainly for complex public buildings. For the application in public buildings, models for air condition systems and different boundary conditions according to different environments were developed. The principal application of the extended code COCOSYS is in the area of emergency situations especially in the simulation for carbon monoxide and smoke dispersion. As first achievement realistic fire emergency scenarios in the Vienna General Hospital (AKH) could be simulated. The results of the simulation can be used for the development of fire emergency training.展开更多

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of polyacrylamide (PAM) application on soil infiltration and erosion under simulated furrow irrigation with saline water. Polyacrylamide was applied by dissolving it in irrigation water at the rates of 1.5, 7.5, and 15.0 mg L-1 or spreading it as a powder on soil surface at the rates of 0.3, 1.5, 3.0, and 6.0 g m-2, respectively. The electrolyte concentration of tested irrigation water was 10 and 30 mmolc L-1 and its sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) was 0.5, 10.0, and 20.0 (mmolc L-1)0.5. Distilled water was used as a control for irrigation water quality. Results indicated that the electrolyte concentration and SAR generally did not significantly affect soil and water losses after PAM application. Infiltration rate and total infiltration volume decreased with the increase of PAM application rate. Polyacrylamide application in both methods significantly reduced soil erosion, but PAM application rate did not significantly affect it. The solution PAM application was more effective in controlling soil erosion than the powdered PAM application, but the former exerted a greater adverse influence on soil infiltration than the latter. Under the same total amounts, the powdered PAM application resulted in a 38.2%-139.6% greater infiltration volume but a soil mass loss of 1.3-3.4 times greater than the solution PAM application.展开更多

Resempling techniques take samples from an approximate population. The bootstrap suggests to use a random sample to form an approximate population. We propose to construct some approximate population distribution by the use of two kinds of representative points, and samples are taken from these approximate distributions. The statistical inference is based on those samples. The statistical inference in this paper involves estimation of mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, quantile and density of the population distribution. Our results show that the new method can significantly improve the results by the use of Monte Carlo methods.展开更多

The reactant transport was assumed to be controlled by both bulk diffusion as well as surface kinetics, implemented by means of an approximate reaction rate equation and empirical coefficients to incorporate reaction mechanism. Experimental and numerical results were compared to examine the effects of methane mole fraction, inlet temperature, operating pressure, velocity and hydrogen spe- cies on combustion intensity. The results indicate that inlet temperature is the most significant parameter that im- pacts operation of the catalytic combustor and the most effective methods for improving the methane conversion are increasing the inlet temperature and increasing the methane mole fraction. Simulations from ID heterogene- ous plug flow model can capture the trend of catalytic combustion and describe the behavior of the catalytic mo- nolith in detail. The addition of hydrogen will provide heat release by the exothermie combustion reaction so that the reactants reach a temperature at which methane oxidation can light-off.展开更多

We have developed a generalized quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics(QM/MM) approach to simulate the electronic transitions of protein backbones and aromatic amino acids in aqueous solution. These transitions, which occur in the ultraviolet(UV) region, provide a sensitive probe of molecular structure. The features of 2 DUV spectra are accurately characterized and enable us to trace small variations in the structure and dynamics as well as evolution propensity with high accuracy. Various structures and dynamic phenomena are investigated to construct a systematic framework for 2 DUV simulation mechanisms, so as to explore further applications of this technique. In this feature article, we summarize the theory and applications of 2 DUV spectroscopy we have engaged in recently, present the important roles of 2 DUV spectroscopy, and outline directions for future development. We hope this article can offer a platform for more scientists in different research fields to gain a clear overview of 2 DUVand further attract more people to explore this promising field.展开更多
