The first four impurity energy levels and binding energy of the ground state are more easily calculated than with the variation method. The calculation results indicate that impurity energy levels decrease with the increase of the well width and decrease quickly when the well width is small. The binding energy of the ground state increases until it reaches a maximum value, and then decreases as the well width increases. The results are meaningful and can be widely applied in the design of various optoelectronie devices.展开更多

The controllable contour design technique was applied to obtaining the original nozzle profile, while other Machnumbers were derived from the transformation of the original profile. A design scheme, covering a Mach-number range of3.0<Ma<4.0, was shown to illustrate the present design technique. To fully validate the present design method, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analyses were carried out to study the flow quality in the test area of the nozzle. The computed results indicate that exit uniform flow is obtained with 1.19% of the maximal Mach-number deviation at the nozzle exit. The present design method achieves the continuously variable Mach-number flow during a wind tunnel running.展开更多

Moreover, Laplace transform is used to find the sum of many convergent infinite series. These exact limits are found in different branches of physics for some special cases series and are in complete agreement with the values found by other authors. Moreover, the methods presented here are generalized and applied to other wide variety of sums, including alternating series.

Centroidal Voronoi tessellation(CVT) based algorithms offer a convenient vehicle for performing image analysis,segmentation and compression while allowing to optimize retained image quality with respect to a given metric.In experimental science with data counts following Poisson distributions,several CVT-based data tessellation algorithms have been recently developed.Although they surpass their predecessors in robustness and quality of reconstructed data,time consumption remains to be an issue due to heavy utilization of the slowly converging Lloyd iteration.This paper discusses one possible approach to accelerating data visualization algorithms.It relies on a multidimensional generalization of the optimization based multilevel algorithm for the numerical computation of the CVTs introduced in[1],where a rigorous proof of its uniform convergence has been presented in 1-dimensional setting.The multidimensional implementation employs barycentric coordinate based interpolation and maximal independent set coarsening procedures.It is shown that when coupled with bin accretion algorithm accounting for the discrete nature of the data,the algorithm outperforms Lloyd-based schemes and preserves uniform convergence with respect to the problem size.Although numerical demonstrations provided are limited to spectroscopy data analysis,the method has a context-independent setup and can potentially deliver significant speedup to other scientific and engineering applications.展开更多

The backfill has a horizontal surface and is composed of cohesionless and fully saturated sand with anisotropic permeability along the vertical and horizontal directions. The extremely unfavourable seepage flow on the back of the retaining wall due to heavy rainfall or other causes will dramatically increase the active earth pressure acting on the retaining walls, increasing the probability of instability. In this paper, an analytical solution to the Laplace differential governing equation is presented for seepage problems considering anisotropic permeability based on Fourier series expansion method. A good correlation is observed between this and the seepage forces along a planar surface generated via finite element analysis. The active earth pressure is calculated using Coulomb's earth pressure theory based on the calculated pore water pressures. The obtained solutions can be degenerated into Coulomb's formula when no seepage exists in the backfill. A parametric study on the influence of the degree of anisotropy in seepage flow on the distribution of active earth pressure behind the wall is conducted by varying ratios of permeability coefficients in the vertical and horizontal directions,showing that anisotropic seepage flow has a prominent impact on active earth pressure distribution. Other factors such as effective internal friction angle of soils and soil/wall friction conditions are also considered.展开更多

A CFD model for cavita- tion steady and unsteady simulation has been calculated using the κ-ω SST turbulence model combining with a multiphase ap- proach, based on a homogeneous model assumption. A truncated form of Rayleigh-Plesset equation is used as a source term for the inter-phase mass transfer. The CFD computational region includes the suction cone, impeller, side chambers and volute, as well as suction and pressure pipes. The results were compared with experimental data under non-cavitation and cavitation conditions and a good agreement was obtained for the global performance, the experimental data of the head and the efficiency are 34.04 m and 74.42% at BEP, respectively, the predicted head is 34.31 m and the predicted efficiency is 73.75%. The analy- sis of inner flow pattern shows that the vortex flow generation in the rear of cavity region is the main reason of the head-drop. Obvious increasing can be observed for the amplitude of the pressure fluctuation at the blade passing frequency with different cavitation situations, and subpeak can be found. Besides, the effects of unsteady flow in the side chambers cannot be neglected for accurately predicting the inner flow of the pump. These results imply that this numerical method is suitable for the cavitat- ing flow in the pump.展开更多
