Three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of concrete tetrahedral frame revetments

Revetments of concrete frame tetrahedrons are being used more and more in river engineering in China. Due to their complex geometry, it is difficult to measure the velocity fields inside them using traditional measurement methods. This limits understanding of their mechanics, potentially leading to suboptimal solutions. A 3-D hydrodynamic model based on the commercial computational fluid dynamics （CFD） code, Fluent, was developed to predict velocity fields and drags. The realizable k-e model was adopted for turbulent closure of the Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes （RANS） equations. The study demonstrates that the numerical model can effectively supplement experimental studies in understanding the complex flow fields and mechanics of concrete frame tetrahedron revetments. Graphs showing the drag coefficient CD versus Reynolds number Re and lift coefficient CL versus Reynolds number Re were produced.

Experimental research on ultimate bearing capacity of N-joints of grouted square steel tube trusses

Cave-in failure is apt to occur in joints of trusses made of square hollow sections. In order to turn the failure mode into a strength failure mode of joint members, the idea is proposed that the chord of the truss is grouted to increase the cave-in beating capacity of a hollow tube chord. An experiment of eight specimens of N- joints made of grout-filled square steel tubes is performed. Based on the experimental study, the geometrical parameters of specimens are analyzed, and the effects of the confinement index ε, the spacing between the two web members g and the ratio of side length of the vertical web member to that of the chord β on the behavior of specimens are investigated through simulation analysis by simulation analyses, the mechanical properties and the failure an ANSYS program. Based on the test results and modes of this kind of joints are analyzed and the formulae to predict the ultimate bearing capacities corresponding to different failure modes are developed. The ultimate bearing capacity of compressive N-joints is calculated in accordance with the cave-in failure mode of a chord member; the ultimate bearing capacity of tension N-joints is calculated in accordance with the punchingshear failure mode; the ultimate bearing capacity of a chord member is calculated in accordance with the shear failure mode in normal sections.

IMPROVED LANDING-GEAR DESIGN FOR FLEXIBLE AIRPLANE

Landing dynamic simulation and landing-gear optimization design are used to improve the landing-gear design for a flexible airplane. Landing response is simulated by using velocity-squared damping, polytropic exponential air-compression spring, tire force power function characteristics, and an equivalent three-mass system.Optimization of landing-gear parameters is performed considering the maximum displacement of the landing-gear shock stroke, the maximum landing-gear force and the maximum deformation of the wingtip in the landing impact. Resutls show that landing-gear design parameters have an important influence on the structural flexibility of the airplane. And the landing performance of the landing-gear can be improved by the optimized metering pin type landing-gear.

Submesoscale activity over the shelf of the northern South China Sea in summer:simulation with an embedded model

We applied a primitive equation ocean model to simulate submesoscale activities and processes over the shelf of the northern South China Sea(NSCS) with a one-way nesting technology for downscaling.The temperature and density fields showed that submesoscale activities were ubiquitous in the NSCS shelf.The vertical velocity was considerably enhanced in submesoscale processes and could reach an average of 58 m per day in the subsurface.At this point,the mixed layer depth also was deepened along the front,and the surface kinetic energy also increased with the intense vertical movement induced by submesoscale activity.Thus,submesoscale stirring/mixing is important for tracers,such as temperature,salinity,nutrients,dissolved organic,and inorganic carbon.This result may have implication for climate and biogeochemical investigations.

Meshless simulation for skeleton driven elastic deformation

A meshless simulation system is presented for elastic deformation driven by skeleton in this paper. In this system, we propose a new method for calculating node rotation while applying a similar technique with stiffness warping to tackle the nonlinear large deformation. In our method, all node rotations are evaluated from sampling points in attached skeleton by con- structing and solving the diffusion partial differential equation. The experiments indicated that the method can enhance the sta- bility of the dynamics and avoid fussy sub-step calculation in static deformation edition. Moreover, rational deformation results for the area around the skeleton joints can be simulated without user interaction by adopting the simplified technique.

Molecular Simulation of CO2/H2 Mixture Separation in Metal-organic Frameworks： Effect of Catenation and Electrostatic Interactions

In this work grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations were performed to study gas separation in three pairs of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (IRMOFs) with and without catenation at room temperature.Mixture composed of CO2 and H2 was selected as the model system to separate.The results show that CO2 selectivity in catenated MOFs with multi-porous frameworks is much higher than their non-catenated counterparts.The simulations also show that the electrostatic interactions are very important for the selectivity,and the contributions of different electrostatic interactions are different,depending on pore size,pressure and mixture composition.In fact,changing the electrostatic interactions can even qualitatively change the adsorption behavior.A general conclusion is that the electrostatic interactions between adsorbate molecules and the framework atoms play a dominant role at low pressures,and these interactions in catenated MOFs have much more pronounced effects than those in their non-catenated counterparts,while the electrostatic interactions between adsorbate molecules become evident with increasing pressure,and eventually dominant.

Numerical Simulation of Wind Turbine Blade-Tower Interaction

Numerical simulations of wind turbine blade-tower interaction by using the open source OpenFOAM tools coupled with arbitrary mesh interface （AMI） method were presented. The governing equations were the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） which were solved by the pimpleDyMFoam solver, and the AMI method was employed to handle mesh movements. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory （NREL） phase VI wind turbine in upwind configuration was selected for numerical tests with different incoming wind speeds （5, 10, 15, and 25 m/s） at a fixed blade pitch and constant rotational speed. Detailed numerical results of vortex structure, time histories of thrust, and pressure distribution on the blade and tower were presented. The findings show that the wind turbine tower has little effect on the whole aerodynamic performance of an upwind wind turbine, while the rotating rotor will induce an obvious cyclic drop in the front pressure of the tower. Also, strong interaction of blade tip vortices with separation from the tower was observed.

Tidal Energy Fluxes and Bottom Boundary Layer Energy Dissipation in the Bering Sea

The spatial distribution of the energy flux, bottom boundary layer （BBL） energy dissipation, surface elevation amplitude and current magnitude of the major semidiurnal tidal constituents in the Bering Sea are examined in detail. These distributions are obtained from the results of a three-dimensional numerical simulation model （POM）. Compared with observation data from seven stations, the root mean square errors of tidal height are 2.6 cm and 1.2 cm for M2 and N2 respectively, and those of phase-lag are 21.8~ and 15.8~ respectively. The majority of the tidal energy flux off the deep basin is along the shelf edge, although some of this flux crosses the shelf edge, especially in the southeast of the shelf break. The total M2 energy dissipation in the Bering Sea is 30.43 GW, which is about 10 times of that of N2 and $2. The semidiurnal tidal energy enters mainly to the Bering Sea by Samalga Pass, Amukta Pass and Seguam Pass, accounting more than 60% of the total energy entering the Being Sea from the Pacific.

Numerical and Experimental Study of Steel Space Truss with Stamped Connection

Tubular section members made of steel are common in space trusses. There are several types of connections to attach these members. The most popular is the staking end-flattened connection. The reduced cost and the fast assemblage of the truss are among the advantages of the staking end-flattened connection on 3D trusses. However, such connections present disadvantages like eccentricities and stiffness weakening of the tubular members. In this work, based on computer simulations and experimental lab tests on prototypes, small changes on the staking end-flattened connections such as reinforcement and eccentricity correction are evaluated. The results show an increase of 68% for local collapse and 17% for global collapse in the truss load carrying capacity when the suggested changes proposed in this article are used for the staking end-flattened connections.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation on Biomedical Stent Design

The stent was a major breakthrough in the treatment of atherosclerotic vascular disease. The permanent vascular implant of a stent, however, changes the intra-stent blood flow hemodynamics. There is a growing consensus that the stent implant may change the artery wall shear stress distribution and hence lead to the restenosis process. Computational fluid dynamics （CFD） has been widely used to analyze hemodynamics in stented arteries. In this paper, two CFD models （the axisymmetric model and the 3-D stent model） were developed to investigate the effects of strut geometry and blood rheology on the intra-stent hemodynamics. The velocity profile, flow recirculation, and wall shear stress distribution of various stent strut geometries were studied. Results show strong correlations between the intra-stent hemodynamics and strut geometry. The intra-stent blood flow is very sensitive to the strut height and fillet size. A round strut with a large fillet size shows 36% and 34% reductions in key parameters evaluating the restenosis risk for the axisymmetric model and the 3-D stent model, respectively. This suggests that electrochemical polishing, a surface-improving process during stent manufacturing, strongly influences the hemodynamic behavior in stented arteries and should be controlled precisely in order to achieve the best clinical outcome. Rheological effects on the wall shear stress are minor in both axisymmetric and 3-D stent models for the vessel diameter of 4 mm, with Newtonian flow simulation tending to give more conservative estimates ofrestenosis risk. Therefore, it is reasonable to simulate the blood flow as a Newtonian flow in stented arteries using the simpler axisymmetric model. These findings will provide great insights for stent design optimization for potential restenosis improvement.

Construction of reasonable pillar group for undersea mining in metal mine

In order to achieve the safe mining in Sanshandao Gold Mine,five schemes of secure pillar group are designed.Using the method of the renormalization group,the failure mechanism of the pillar group is explored,and the safety factor of the pillar system is also obtained.The displacement characteristics,stress-strain laws,distribution of plastic zone and damage range of different pillar group are analyzed using numerical calculation software FLAC3D.To determine a reasonable pillar group scheme,the pillar stability and roof deformation are utilized to evaluate the safety of the pillar group.In addition,the theory of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is adopted to verify the optimal scheme.The pillar group with the lowest roof deformation value is chosen as the optimal plan,which renders a factor of safety of 2.06 for the pillar group.According to this scheme,pillars with the width of 10 m are set along the strike of undersea deposit with the interval of 50 m.Rib pillars of 15 m in width are set at the location of the exploration line of 127,151 and 167.The analysis can be used to provide guidance for optimal design of pillar structures in undersea mining.

Load on Bicycle Frame During Cycling with Different Speeds and Gestures

Experiment and dynamic simulation were combined to obtain the loads on bicycle frame. A dynamic model of body-bicycle system was built in ADAMS. Then the body gestures under different riding conditions were captured by a motion analysis system. Dynamic simulation was carried out after the data of body motions were input into the simulation system in ADAMS and a series of loads that the body applied on head tube, seat pillar and bottom bracket were obtained. The results show that the loads on flame and their distribution are apparently different under various riding conditions. Finally, finite element analysis was done in ANSYS, which showed that the stress and its distribution on frame were apparently different when the flame was loaded according to the bicycle testing standard and simulation respectively. An efficient way to obtain load on bicycle flame accurately was proposed, which is sig- nificant for the safety of cycling and will also be the basis for the bicycle design of digitalization, lightening and cus- tomization.

Approximate Reachability and Bisimulation Equivalences for Transition Systems

Using Baire metric, this paper proposes a generalized framework of transition system approximation by developing the notions of approximate reachability and approximate bisimulation equivalences. The proposed framework captures the traditional exact equivalence as a special case. Approximate reachability equivalence is coarser than approximate bisimulation equivalence, just like the hierarchy of the exact ones. Both approximate equivalences satisfy the transitive property, consequently, they can be used in transition system approximation.

Enhanced Methane Adsorption in Catenated Metal-organic Frameworks： A Molecular Simulation Study

A systematic molecular simulation study was performed to investigate the effect of catenation on methane adsorption in metal-organic frameworks(MOFs).Four pairs of isoreticular MOFs(IRMOFs)with and without catenation were adopted and their capacities for methane adsorption were compared at room temperature.The present work showed that catenation could greatly enhance the storage capacity of methane in MOFs,due to the formation of additional small pores and adsorption sites formed by the catenation of frameworks.In addition,the simulation results obtained at 298K and 3.5MPa showed that catenated MOFs could easily meet the requirement for methane storage in porous materials.

Adaptive image encryption scheme based on chaotic map

Most of the existing image encryption schemes with the substitutlon-chltuslon structure are not secure and efficient. In this letter, a chaos-based pseudo-random bit generator with good statistical properties is proposed, where a simple post-processing by compressing is employed. A new adaptive image encryption scheme with the substitution-diffusion architecture is designed using the new pseu- do-random bit generator. In the scheme, the session key for the pseudo-random bit generator is dependent on the content of the image which ensures that the scheme can effectively resist knownplaintext and chosen-plaintext attacks. Theoretical analysis and computer simulation indicate that the proposed algorithm is efficient and highly secure.
