微通道周期流动电位势及电粘性效应

求解了双电层的Poisson-Boltzmann方程和流体运动的Navier-Stokes方程,得到在周期压差作用下,二维微通道的周期流动电位势,流动诱导电场和液体流动速度的解析解.量纲分析表明,流体电粘性力与以下3个参数有关:1)电粘性数,它表示定常流动时,通道最大电粘性力与压力梯度的比;2)形状函数,它表示电粘性力在通道横截面的分布形态;3)耦合系数,它表示电粘性力的振幅衰减特征和相位差.分析结果表明,微通道周期流动诱导电场、流动速度与频率Reynolds数有关.在频率Reynolds数小于1时,流动诱导电场随频率Reynolds数变化很慢.在频率Reynolds数大于1时,流动诱导电场随频率Reynolds数的增加快速衰减.在通道宽度与双电层厚度比值较小情况下,电粘性效应对周期流动速度和流动诱导电场有重要影响.

为了研究直微通道中幂律流体的电黏性效应,建立了压力驱动微通道内流体流动的数学模型,其中双电层电势分布、流体流动及流动粒子输运特性分别由Poisson-Boltzmann(P-B)方程、Navier-Stokes(N-S)方程及Nernst-Plank(N-P)方程描述。讨论了微通道中有电黏性效应时溶液浓度;幂律指数对微通道内流体的速度分布、流动电场强度的影响。结果表明:对于n<1的剪切变稀流体,流体的黏度和流动速度随着n的增大而减小,变化非常明显;而对于n>1的剪切变稠流体,黏度和流动速度几乎不受n的影响,在实际应用中可以忽略不计。

Movement of dispersed droplets of W/O emulsion in a uniform DC electrostatic field: Simulation on droplet coalescence

Considering the droplet coalescence, the motion of a group of dispersed droplets in W/O emulsion in a DC electric field is simulated. The simulation demonstrates the evolutions of droplet number, size as well as its distribution,local concentration distribution and droplet size-velocity relation with the applied time of electric field. The simulated average droplet size is roughly consistent with the experimental value. The simulated variation of droplet number with time under several applied voltages shows that increasing voltage is more effective for raising the rate of droplet coalescence than extending exerting time. However, with the further raise of applied voltage, the improvement in droplet coalescence rate becomes less significant. The evolution of simulated droplet size–velocity relationship with time shows that the inter-droplet electric repulsion force is very strong due to larger electric charge on the droplet under higher applied voltage, so that the magnitude and the direction of droplet velocity become more random, which looks helpful to droplet coalescence.

CFD simulation of high-temperature effect on EHD characteristics in a wire-plate electrostatic precipitator

A computational fluid dynamics （CFD） model is carried out to describe the wire-plate electrostatic precipitator （ESP） in high temperature conditions, aiming to study the effects of high temperature on the electro- hydrodynamic （EHD） characteristics. In the model, the complex interactions at high temperatures between the electric field, fluid dynamics and the particulate flow are taken into account. We apply different numerical methods for different fields, including an electric field model, Euler-Lagrange particle-laden flows model, and particle charging model. The effects of high temperature on ionic wind, EHD characteristics and collection effi- ciency are investigated. The numerical results show high temperature causes more significant effects of the ionic wind on the gas secondary flow. High viscosity of gas at high temperature makes particles follow the gas flow pattern more closely. High temperature reduces the surface electric strength, so that the mean electric strength weakens the space charging. On the contrary, there is an increase in the diffusion charging at high tem- perature compared with at low temperature. High temperature increases the ratio of mean drag force over mean electrostatic force actin~ on the ~atticles which mav contribute to a decline of collection efficiencv.

Research on hydrokinetics characteristics of rotating pipe fluid in the crossed electric and magnetic field

The rotating pipe fluid in the crossed electric and magnetic field not only suffered the forces in the steady condition, but also suffered Coriolis force, centrifugal force because of rotation and electromagnetic volume force. The motion equation of fluid and the hydrokinetics equations of rotating pipe were described in the Cartesians coordinates. The equations showed that the solutions to hydrokinetics equations of rotating pipe in the crossed electric and magnetic electromagnetic field were highly complicated and numerical calculations were also astronomical. The pressure distribution and temperature distribution of one dimension were solved using the electromagnetic equations set. The results showed that the fluid in rotating pipe was in the asymmetrical pressure field and temperature field because it was in the energy exchange and thermo-electrical coupling course. The primary characteristic of flow course could be expressed using the proposed hydrokinetics equations.

A new dimmer for alternating-current directly driven light-emitting-diode lamp

A new dimmer using a mental-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) for alternating-current (AC) directly driven light-emitting-diode (LED) lamp was presented. The control method of proposed dimmer is pulse width control (PWM) method. Compared with the conventional phase-controlled dimmer, the proposed PWM dimmer can produce sine wave and did not cause harmonics problem. Furthermore, the proposed control method did not amplify the light flicker due to the independence of input voltage. Therefore, the PWM dimmer can be used as the dimmer of the AC LED lamp instead of the conventional phase-controlled dimmer. The experimental result shows that the proposed PWM dimmer has good performances.

Intraband Dynamics and Terahertz Emission in Biased GaAs/In_(0.53)Ga_(0.47)As Semiconductor Superlattices

Using an excitonic basis, we investigate the intraband polarization, optical absorption spectra, and terahertzemission of semiconductor superlattice with the density matrix theory. The excitonic Bloch oscillation is driven by thedc and ac electric fields. The slow variation in the intraband polarization depends on the ac electric field frequency. Theintraband polarization increases when the ac electric field frequency is below the Bloch frequency. When the ac electricfield frequency is above the Bloch frequency, the intraband polarization downwards and its intensity decreases. Thesatellite structures in the optical absorption spectra are presented. Due to excitonic dynamic localization, the emissionlines of terahertz shift in different ac electric field and dc electric field.

How Does the Diffusion Dynamics Reconnect the Magnetic Field？

We clarify how magnetic reconnection can be derived from magnetohydrodynamics （MHD） equations in a way that is easily understandable to university students. The essential mechanism governing the time evolution of the magnetic field is diffusion dynamics. The magnetic field is represented by two components. It is clarified that the diffusion of a component causes agene ration of another component that is initially zero and, accordingly, that the magnetic force lines are reconnected. For this reconnection to occur correctly, the initial magnetic field must be directed oppositely in the two regions, e.g., y 〉 0 and y 〈 O; must be concave （convex） for y 〉 0 （y 〈 0）; and must be saturated foryfar from the x axis, which would indicate the existence of the current sheet. It will be clear that our comprehension based on diffusion runs parallel to the common qualitative explanation about the magnetic reconnection.

Calculation of Steady SF_6 Gas Flow through a 420 kV Circuit Breaker Nozzle and Electric Field Distribution

Special interest in current interruptions is dedicated to the processes close to the current zero instant, the so-called interaction region, which determines the circuit breakers＇ performance. The quantities of interest in this region are the distribution of temperature, density and pressure, velocity and gas mass flow along the electric arc axis, as well as the distribution of electric stress between contacts Calculation of steady SF_6 gas flow through the nozzle of a 420 kV circuit breaker at the current zero instant, for different arcing durations, was carried out using a commercial CFD （computational fluid dynamics） simulation tool. The calculation results were used to get insight into improvement possibilities of the SF_6 gas flow model used in the software for computer simulation of HV （high-voltage） circuit breakers. Electric field calculation results were performed for the same 420 kV circuit breaker, in order to estimate the breakdown voltage at the current zero instant.

Investigations on Several Mechanical Problems in Windblown Sand Movement

It is very necessary for the investigation on mechanism of windblown sand movement to under- stand and find out effective measures of preventing and reducing danger of windblown sands,which al- so deals with some general characters and hot spots in the scientific forelands,such as multi-scale prob- lems,interactions among multi-physical-fields,ran- domness and nonlinearity as well as complex sys- tems.In recent years,a series of experiments in wind tunnels and theoretical modeling as well as computer simulation have been undertaken in the re- search group of environmental mechanics on wind- blown sand movement in Lanzhou University with the point of mechanical and geography intersecting view.Some original and essential progress has been achieved, which includes that the main regu- larities of charges on sand particles and the electric field in windblown sand flux and the effect of the electric field on the flux and the microwave propaga- tion are revealed,and the evolution process of windblown sand flux under the mutual couple inter- actions among several physical fields are predicted as well as the main features of Aeolian sand ripples are simulated.

The relations between density of FACs in the Plasma Sheet Boundary Layers and Kp index

We have studied 172 field-aligned currents （FACs） cases observed by the ClusterlI satellites when they crossed the plasma sheet boundary layer （PSBL） in the magnetotail from July to October 2001. We mainly analyzed the relationship between the characteristic of FACs at the PSBL in magnetotail and the Kp index. The main results indicated the followings： 1） In the different geomagnetic activity levels, the relative occurrence of FACs in PSBL increased monotonically with geomagnetic activity. 2） The density of FACs in PSBL increased monotonically with Kp index. In the storm main phase, the density of FACs increased dramatically, the maximum FACs approximately equaled 19.05 nA m-2 while Kp equaled 5.3） The variation of FACs density in PSBL was consistent with the variation of the Kp index. However, when AE〈800 nT, FACs density in PSBL increased with increasing AE, and when AE〉800 nT, it decreased with increasing AE. Therefore, our results suggested that the FACs density in PSBL had a closer correlation with Kp index.
