Computer is used to simulate the maximum detection range of the ROV under different water body conditions. The receiving irradiance of the video camera at different detection ranges is also calculated. The ROV’s detection performance under different water body conditions is given by simulation. We restore the underwater blurry images using the Wiener filter based on the simulation. The Wiener filter is shown to be a simple useful method for underwater image restoration in the ROV underwater experiments. We also present examples of restored images of an underwater standard target taken by the video camera in these experiments.展开更多

The objective of the spatial simulation is to transform physical space to visual image space.

Methods:The laser phantom was used to check the external mobile laser position accuracy, for internal image indicator laser beam (light field) the coincidence between light field and radiation exposure at CT simulator was checked using X-Omat ready back film. The Z-phantom was used to check the slice thickness and the table movement and so the gantry tilts. The image quality testes were checked using the CT image quality phantom. TLDs were inserted to the Cicil phantom at the center of each scan volume to estimate the patient dose. Results:The results showed that the difference in the fixed distance between the external mobile laser and the internal image indicator laser beam was less than ± 1 mm; the orientation of the two mobile lateral lasers was coincident. The mechanical movement and the image quality of the CT simulator were within the tolerances and the results were 0.5 mm, 0.2% and 0.6% for the mechanical movement, noise and image uniformity respectively. Conclusion:A CT simulator with a good performance is important for the radiotherapy treatment planning specially with the extremely revolution in radiotherapy techniques, also a rotten quality assurance (QA) program is very important to be shore about the reproducibility of the CT performance. The use of Z-phantom to check the gantry tilt and the table movement is faster than the use of ready back films in these tests.展开更多

To analyze the flow characteristics of a centrifugal pump operating at low capacity, methods of numerical simulation and experimental research were adopted in this paper. Characteristics of the inner flow were obtained. Standard k-s turbulence models were used to calculate the inner flow of the pump under off-design conditions. The distri- bution of the energy gradient function K was obtained by three-dimensional numerical simulation at different flow rates. The relative velocity component was acquired from the absolute velocity obtained in particle image velocimetry. By comparing with experimental results, it was found that flow instability occurs at the position of maximum K. The flow stability reduces with an increasing flow rate. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the optimization design of a centrifugal pump.展开更多
