In the context of inviscid potential flow, hydrodynamic problems such as multi-body interaction and tank side wall effect cannot be properly dealt with based on the traditional free-surface frequency domain Green function method, in which the water viscosity is omitted and the energy dissipation effect is absent. In this paper, an open-sea Green function with viscous dissipation was presented within the theory of visco-potential flow. Then the tank Green function with a partial reflection from the side walls in wave tanks was formulated as a formal sum of open-sea Green functions representing the infinite images between two parallel side walls of the source in the tank. The new far-field characteristics of the tank Green function is vitally important for improving the validity of side-wall effects evaluation, which can be used in supervising the tank model tests.展开更多

The quantum conductance of these nanocoils is simulated employing a π-orbital TB model incorporated with the non-equilibrium Green's function theory. Compared with the perfect armchair carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and armchair CNTs with only Stone-Wales (SW) defects, the quantum conductance spectra of the armchair CNCs present distinct gaps around the Fermi level, which are mainly originated from the existence of sp3 carbon in the three-dimensional spiral structures. Moreover, the detailed conductance spectra of the armchair CNCs depend sensitively on their geometric parameters, such as tubular diameter and block-block distance.展开更多
