基于农户调查的经济发达地区城郊农地流转——以广州市番禺区为例

农地流转是农户具有方向性选择的土地利用行为表现,按流转方向可分为转入与转出.为探讨不同流转方向的农户农地流转特征差异,以广州市番禺区467户农户调研数据为例,分析不同流转方向下的农地流转特征,并探讨不同流转方向下的流转价格影响因素。研究认为:①番禺区农地流转的特征在不同流转方向下具有一定差异,其中转出率高于转入率,转入规模大于转出规模,北部的转入和转出率均稍高于南部,但在流转价格、流转年限、契约方式、流转难易及交易时间等方面则差异不显著。②应用多元回归分析法对不同流转方向下的农地流转价格影响因素进行分析,发现转入模型回归效果比转出模型回归效果好,其中流转方式及流转花费时间两个因子在不同模型中的作用不同。研究表明,农地流转由于存在转入与转出方向的不同,流转特征会存在一定差异,开展该方面的研究应区别对待。

On-Cam Operation of Counter-Rotating Type Hydroelectric Unit

The counter-rotating type hydroelectric unit, which is composed of the axial flow type tandem runners and the peculiar generator with double rotational armatures, has been proposed. In the unit, the front and the rear runners counter-drive the inner and the outer armatures of the generator, respectively. Besides, the flow direction at the rear runner outlet must coincide with the direction at the front runner inlet, because the angular momentum change through the rear runner must coincides with that through the front runner. In this paper, the tandem runners work at on-cam conditions in keeping the induced frequency constant, to provide the hydroelectric unit for the power grid system. The output and the hydraulic efficiency are affected by the adjusting angles of the front and the rear blades. Both optimum angles giving the maximum output or efficiency were presented at the various discharge/head circumstances, accompanying with the turbine performances.

Heat and salt transport throughout the North Pacific Ocean

Absolute geostrophic currents in the North Pacific Ocean are calculated using the P-vector method and gridded Argo profiling data from January 2004 to December 2012. Three-dimensional structures and seasonal variability of meridional heat transport(MHT) and meridional salt transport(MST) are analyzed. The results show that geostrophic and Ekman components are generally opposite in sign, with the southward geostrophic component dominating in the subtropics and the northward Ekman component dominating in the tropics. In combination with the net surface heat flux and the MST through the Bering Strait, the MHT and MST of the western boundary currents(WBCs) are estimated for the fi rst time. The results suggest that the WBCs are of great importance in maintaining the heat and salt balance of the North Pacifi c. The total interior MHT and MST in the tropics show nearly the same seasonal variability as that of the Ekman components, consistent with the variability of zonal wind stress. The geostrophic MHT in the tropics is mainly concentrated in the upper layers, while MST with large amplitude and annual variation can extend much deeper. This suggests that shallow processes dominate MHT in the North Pacific, while MST can be affected by deep ocean circulation. In the extratropical ocean, both MHT and MST are weak. However, there is relatively large and irregular seasonal variability of geostrophic MST, suggesting the importance of the geostrophic circulation in the MST of that area.

An experimental study on the effects of relative rotation direction on the wake interferences among tandem wind turbines

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of relative rotation direction on the wake interferences among two tandemwind turbines models.While the oncoming flow conditions were kept in constant during the experiments,turbine power outputs,wind loads acting on the turbines,and wake characteristics behind the turbines were compared quantitatively with turbine models in either co-rotating or counter-rotating configuration.The measurement results reveal that the turbines in counter-rotating would harvest more wind energy from the same oncoming wind,compared with the co-rotating case.While the recovery of the streamwise velocity deficits in the wake flows was found to be almost identical with the turbines operated in either co-rotating or counter-rotating,the significant azimuthal velocity generated in the wake flow behind the upstream turbine is believed to be the reason why the counter-rotating turbines would have a better power production performance.Since the azimuthal flow velocity in the wake flow was found to decrease monotonically with the increasing downstream distance,the benefits of the counter-rotating configuration were found to decrease gradually as the spacing between the tandem turbines increases.While the counter-rotating downstream turbine was found to produce up to 20%more power compared with that of co-rotating configuration with the turbine spacing being about 0.7D,the advantage was found to become almost negligible when the turbine spacing becomes greater than 6.5D.It suggests that the counter-rotating configuration design would be more beneficial to turbines in onshore wind farms due to the smaller turbine spacing(i.e.,~3 rotor diameters for onshore wind farms vs.~7 rotor diameters for offshore wind farms in the prevailing wind direction),especially for those turbines sited over complex terrains with the turbine spacing only about 1–2 rotor diameters.

A Twin Unidirectional Impulse Turbine for Wave Energy Conversion

A twin unidirectional impulse turbine has been proposed in order to enhance the performance of wave energy plant. This turbine system uses two unidirectional impulse turbines and their flow direction is different from each other. However, the turbine characteristics have not been clarified to date. The performances of a unidirectional impulse turbine under steady flow conditions were investigated experimentaUy by using a wind tunnel with large piston/cylinder in this study. Then, efficiency of the twin impulse turbine have been estimated by a quasi-steady analysis using experimental results.

Characteristics of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in the Shell Side of the Trapezoidal-like Tilted Baffles Heat Exchanger

Periodic whole cross-section computation models are established for segmental baffle heat exchanger, shutter baffle heat exchanger, and trapezoid-like tilted baffle heat exchanger. The reliability of models is verified by comparing the simulated results to the results obtained from the Bell-Delaware method. Due to the orthogonal assembly of the baffles, the shell side fluid shows the twisty flow of trapezoid-like tilted baffle heat exchanger. The essential mechanism on disturbing flow and heat transfer enhancement is revealed by defining the non-dimensional factor η of the shell side fluid flow direction of heat exchanger and the field synergy principle. The results show that at the same Reynolds number, the shell side fluid convection heat transfer coefficient of trapezoid-like tilted baffle heat exchanger is 12.43%-24.33% and 6.71%-11.51% higher than those of segmental baffle heat exchanger and shutter baffle heat exchanger, respectively. The shell side fluid flow velocity field and the pressure gradient field of trapezoid-like tilted baffle heat exchanger and shutter baffle heat exchanger decreases compared with that of segmental baffle heat exchanger, so the shell side fluid flow resistance and pressure drop is increased; the shell side comprehensive performance of trapezoid-like tilted baffle heat exchanger is 5.85%-9.06% higher than that of segmental baffle heat exchanger, and 15.27%-23.28% higher than that of shutter baffle heat exchanger. In this study, a baffle structure with higher efficiency of the energy utilization for the heat exchanger is provided.

Active control of circular cylinder flow by affiliated rotating cylinders

This study puts forward an active control method for circular cylinder flow by placing two small affiliated rotating cylinders adjacent to the main cylinder, and their effects on the drag and lift forces acting on the main cylinder as well as the heat trans- fer effectiveness are numerically investigated. According to the diameter of the main cylinder the Reynolds number is chosen as Re=200. The well-proven finite volume method is employed for the calculation. The code is validated by comparing the present computed results of flow passing an isolated rotating cylinder with those available from the literature. To describe the present control model, two parameters are defined： the rotation direction of the two small cylinders （including co-current rota- tion and counter-current rotation） and the dimensionless rotation rate a. In the simulation, the rotation rate a varies from 0 to 2.4. The results indicate that the optimum rotation direction of the subsidiary cylinders, which is beneficial to both drag reduc- tion and beat transfer enhancement, is the co-current rotating （the upper affiliated cylinder spins clockwise and the lower affili- ated cylinder spins counter-clockwise）. We observe noticeable suppression of the vortex shedding and favorable reduction of the fluid forces acting on the main cylinder as the rotation rate increases. Besides, the pressure and viscous components of the drag force are analyzed. Energy balance between energy cost for activating the rotating cylinders and energy saving by the momentum injection is considered. In addition, the influence of the affiliated rotating cylinders on heat transfer is also investi- gated. The average Nusselt number is found to increase with the rotation rate.

Active control of vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder by using the oscillatory plate immersed in the cylinder wake at low Reynolds number

As a typical fluid-solid interaction problem,vortex-induced vibration(VIV)is common in engineering,so it is vital to study its control mechanism.Numerical simulations of the active control of VIV of a cylinder are carried out in this study.The splitter plate with harmonic oscillation is used as the control device for the dynamic response of the cylinder.The displacement response,lift and drag coefficient,vibration frequency of the cylinder,energy efficiency of control strategy,and characteristics of the flow field are widely analyzed to reveal the physical mechanism of the control system.The results show that the displacement response of the cylinder can be limited in a small range by the control without feedback in most cases except for high reduced velocity.In addition,the control strategy can be changed through feedback control to keep much superior control effects at the high reduced velocity.The oscillatory splitter plate delays the vortex shedding of shear layers generated on the cylinder,the wake vortices with opposite sense of rotation are paralleled with the streamwise direction,and crosswise distances of them are reduced.Thus,the lift on the cylinder is greatly decreased due to the modification of the flow pattern induced by the oscillatory splitter plate.
