They can also be used for explosion, intrinsic, and fire safety. Every destructible material can be considered as either ductile or brittle in terms of its fracture mechanics. Thus, there is a need for a method to predict the efficiency of cutting with AWJs that is highly accurate irrespective of material. This problem can be solved using the energy conservation approach, which states the proportionality between the material removal volume and the kinetic energy of AWJs. This paper describes a method based on this approach, along with recommendations on reaching the most effective level of destruction. Recommendations are provided regarding rational ranges of values for the relation of abrasive flow rate to water flow rate, standoff distance, and size of abrasive particles. I also provide a parameter to establish the threshold conditions for a material＇s destruction initiation based on the temporary-structural approach of fracture mechanics.展开更多

These conditions correspond to generalizedbarotropic instability and super speed instability. They are instabilities of vortex and gravity inertial waverespectively. In order to relate to practical situation, a barotropic vortex was analyzed, the basic flow of which issimilar to lower level basic wind field of tropical cyclones and the maximum wind radius of which is 500 km.The results show that generalized barotropic instability depending upon the radial gradient of relative vorticitycan appear in this vortex. It can be concluded that unstable vortex Rossby wave may appear in barotropic vortex.展开更多

The second is obtaining the sulfate distribution through chemical reaction and transfer of matters in regional climate models online coupled with an atmospheric chemistry model that includes full chemical reactions for sulfides. The third is to put sulfate distribution data from GCM and its coupled atmospheric chemistry model to regional climate model, which is so called off-line coupled method. As shown in comparisons between the online and offline modeling on the regional scale, the radiative climate effect of sulfate shows large uncertainty due to significant influence from various methods.展开更多

The main purpose is the evaluation of a developed numerical methodology for the simulation of forced convection flows at various Reynolds numbers （100 _〈 Rex 〈_ 10,000） and for a fixed Prandtl number （Pr = 1.0）. The hexahedral eight-node FEM （finite element method） with an explicit Taylor-Galerkin scheme is used to obtain the numerical solutions of the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy. The Smagorinsky model is employed for the sub-grid treatment. The time-averaged velocity and temperature profiles are compared with results of literature and a CFD （computational fluid dynamics） package based on finite volume method, leading to a highest deviation of nearly 6%. Moreover, characteristics of the forced convection flows are properly obtained, e.g., the effect of the Reynolds number over the multiplicity of scales.展开更多
