Effect of cushion and cover on moisture distribution in clay embankments in southern China

To achieve durability of the embankment in southern China,a method to control the change of moisture content with the cushion and cover was proposed.A finite element model of cushion and cover considering different materials and thicknesses for a typical embankment was built,and 20 numerical analyses of transient seepage in the embankment were simulated.The results show that the sand cushion effectively blocks the effect of groundwater capillary rise and the minimum thickness of the sand cushion is 75 cm without considering the atmospheric environment.With the combination of sand cushion and clay cover,as the thickness of the clay cover increases,the duration time of the moisture content from the initial to relative equilibrium state increases,but the equilibrium moisture content is the same as that of the original embankment.Besides,with the combination of the sand cushion and sand cover,the moisture content inside the embankment remains the same,which is consistent with the optimum moisture content during construction.The combination of 75 cm sand cushion and 30 cm sand cover is a very effective method to block groundwater and atmospheric environment,and achieve the control of the humidity stability of the embankment in southern China.

Investigation of Coolant Fluid through Grinding Zone in High-Speed Precision Grinding

In the grinding process,grinding fluid is delivered for the purposes of chip flushing,cooling,lubrication,and chemical protection of the work surface.Due to the high-speed rotation of the grinding wheel,a boundary layer of air forms around the grinding wheel and moves most of the grinding fluid away from the grinding zone.Hence,the conventional method of delivering coolant fluid that floods delivery with high fluid pressure and nozzle fluid rare supply coolant fluid to achieve high performance grinding.The flood grinding typically delivering large volumes of grinding fluid is ineffective,especially under high speed grinding conditions.In the paper,a theoretical model is presented for flow of grinding fluid through the grinding zone in high-speed precision grinding.The model shows that the flow rate through the grinding zone between the wheel and the workpiece surface not only depends on wheel porosity and wheel speed,but also depends on nozzle volumetric flow rate and fluid jet velocity.Furthermore,the model is tested by a surface grinding machine in order to correlate between experiment and theory.Consequently,the useful flow-rate model is found to give a good agreement with the experimental results and the model can well forecast the useful flow-rate in high-speed precision grinding.

Intercomparison of different physics schemes in the WRF model over the Asian summer monsoon region

Enhancing the ability of the WRF model in simulating a large area covering the West Pacific Ocean, China's Mainland, and the East Indian Ocean is very important to improve prediction of the East Asian monsoon climate. The objective of this study is to identify a reasonable configuration of physical parameterization schemes to simulate the precipitation and temperature in this large area. The Mellor-Yamada-Janjic （MYJ） and Yonsei University （YSU） PBL schemes, the WSM3 and WSM5 microphysics schemes, and the Betts-Miller-Janjic （BMJ） and Tiedtke cumulus schemes are compared through simulation of the regional climate of summer 2008. All cases exhibit a similar spatial distribution of temperature as observed, and the spatial correlation coefficients are all higher than 0.95. The cases combining MY J, WSM3/WSM5, and BMJ have the smallest biases of temperature. The choice of PBL scheme has a significant effect on precipitation in such a large area. The cases with MYJ reproduce a better distribution of rain belts, while YSU strongly overestimates the precipitation intensity. The precipitation simulated using WSM3 is similar to that using WSM5. The BMJ cumulus scheme combined with the MYJ PBL scheme has a smaller bias of precipitation. However, the Tiedtke scheme reproduces the precipitation pattern better, especially over the ITCZ.

Turbulent boundary layers and hydrodynamic flow analysis of nanofluids over a plate

A numerical analysis of the log-law behavior for the turbulent boundary layer of a wall-bounded flow is performed over a flat plate immersed in three nanofluids(Zn O-water,SiO_(2)-water,TiO_(2)-water).Numerical simulations using CFD code are employed to investigate the boundary layer and the hydrodynamic flow.To validate the current numerical model,measurement points from published works were used,and the compared results were in good compliance.Simulations were carried out for the velocity series of 0.04,0.4 and 4 m/s and nanoparticle concentrations0.1% and 5%.The influence of nanoparticles’ concentration on velocity,temperature profiles,wall shear stress,and turbulent intensity was investigated.The obtained results showed that the viscous sub-layer,the buffer layer,and the loglaw layer along the potential-flow layer could be analyzed based on their curving quality in the regions which have just a single wall distance.It was seen that the viscous sub-layer is the biggest area in comparison with other areas.Alternatively,the section where the temperature changes considerably correspond to the thermal boundary layer’s thickness goes a downward trend when the velocity decreases.The thermal boundary layer gets deep away from the leading edge.However,a rise in the volume fraction of nanoparticles indicated a minor impact on the shear stress developed in the wall.In all cases,the thickness of the boundary layer undergoes a downward trend as the velocity increases,whereas increasing the nanoparticle concentrations would enhance the thickness.More precisely,the log layer is closed with log law,and it is minimal between Y^(+)=50 and Y^(+)=95.The temperature for nanoparticle concentration φ=5%is higher than that for φ=0.1%,in boundary layers,for all studied nanofluids.However,it is established that the behavior is inverted from the value of Y^(+)=1 and the temperature for φ =0.1% is more important than the case of φ =5%.For turbulence intensity peak,this peak exists at Y^(+)=100 for v=4 m/s,Y^(+)=10 for v=0.4 m/s and Y^(+)=8 for v=0.04 m/s.

Analytical solution for slope instability assessment considering impact of confined aquifer

An analytical approach was presented for estimating the factor of safety(FS) for slope failure, with consideration of the impact of a confined aquifer. An upward-moving wetting front from the confined water was assumed and the pore water pressure distribution was then estimated and used to obtain the analytical expression of FS. Then, the validation of the theoretical analysis was applied based on an actual case in Hong Kong. It is shown that the presence of a confined aquifer leads to a lower FS value, and the impact rate of hydrostatic pressure on FS increases as the confined water pressure increases, approaching to a maximum value determined by the ratio of water density to saturated soil density. It is also presented that the contribution of hydrostatic pressure and hydrodynamic pressure to the slope stability vary with the confined aquifer pressure.

Studies on solar flat plate collector evaporation systems for tannery effluent(soak liquor)

Heat and mass transfer analysis of an incompressible, laminar boundary layer over solar flat plate collector evapora- tion systems for tannery effluent (soak liquor) is investigated. The governing equations are solved for various liquid to air velocity ratios. Profiles of velocity, temperature and concentration as well as their gradients are presented. The heat transfer and mass transfer coefficients thus obtained are used to evaluate mass of water evaporated for an inclined fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) solar flat plate collector (FPC) with and without cover. Comparison of these results with the experimental performance shows encouraging trend of good agreement between them.

Research on the Seismotectonic Setting in Beibu Gulf Waters

In this paper we discuss the seismogenic structures of the two earthquakes occurring in the Beibu Gulf waters,based on the investigation of geological structure,faults,geophysical fields,seismicity and earthquake focal mechanism.The results show that the NEE trending faults along the boundary of the Wushi depression are the dominating seismogenic structures,and the NW trending faults are the key factors of stress concentration.The results also show that high seismicity has a significant relationship with the late Cenozoic deposition center in the Beibu Gulf,and their NE-NEE trending boundary faults are important to the identification of seismogenic structures.The special arcuate fault segment or the intersection point of the NW trending faults and NE-NEE trending boundary faults is a possible location of future earthquakes.

Seismic Waves in Layered Media

This paper is organized as follows. After a discussion of the differential equations for wave propagation in the horizontally stratified medium and of the initial and boundary conditions, the displacements are derived on the free surface of the layered medium for plane waves when a point source is located on the s-th imaginary boundary at the depth -s （physical parameters of the layers s and （s ＋ 1） are put to be identical）. Then, the source will be represented as a single force of arbitrary orientation and a general moment tensor point source. Further, ＂a primary field＂ for a point source will be introduced. Matrix method for the solution of the direct seismic problem is considered based on the matrix method of Thomson-Haskell and its modifications.

Observation analysis on characteristics of formation,evolution and transition of a long-lasting severe fog and haze episode in North China

An unusual fog and haze event lasted for one week took place during 1–7 December,2011 over North China.To investigate the characteristics and mechanism of formation,evolution,and transition of the fog and haze event,we studied the microphysical properties such as aerosol,cloud condensation nuclei(CCN),fog droplet spectrum and liquid water content(LWC),as well as horizontal visibility and boundary layer properties,using the data collected in the Project of Low-Visibility Weather Monitoring and Forecasting in the Beijing-Tianjin region.The results indicate that the long-lasting fog and haze event occurred in a high pressure weather system and calm wind condition.The stable boundary-layer structure resulted from temperature inversions that were built by warm advection and radiation cooling provided a favorable condition for the accumulation of polluted aerosols and the formation and development of the fog and haze event.In particular,the continuous southerly wet flow advection made the process a persistent and long-lasting event.The horizontal visibility was almost below 2 km in the whole process,and the lowest visibility was only 56 m.The average LWC was about 10-3 g m-3,and the maximum LWC reached 0.16 g m-3.The aerosol number concentration was more than 10000 cm-3,and its mass concentration ranged from 50 to 160 -g m-3.The further study shows that the fog and haze event experienced three main processes in different intensities during the whole period,each process could be divided into three main stages:aerosol accumulation,transition and mixture of aerosol and fog,and dissipation.Each stage had different physical features:the aerosol accumulation stage was characterized by the increase of aerosol number concentration in Aitken nuclei and accumulation mode sequentially.In the transition and mixing stage of fog and haze,the latent heating produced by fog droplet condensation process and high aerosol number concentration condition intensified the Brownian coagulation process,which induced the small size of aerosols to become larger ones and enhanced the CCN activation process,thereby promoting the explosive development of the fog event.The ratio of aerosol activated to CCN reached 17%,and the ratio of CCN converted to fog droplet exceeded 100%,showing an explosively broadening of fog droplet spectrum.The decrease and dissipation of the fog was caused by an increased solar radiation heating or the passage of cold frontal system.

Effects of the superhydrophobic surface on coherent structures in the turbulent boundary layer

The influence of drag-reducing superhydrophobic(SHPo)surface on turbulent boundary layer(TBL)is investigated.A large area of the SHPo surface(about 10δ99 in the streamwise and 5δ99 in the spanwise)is fabricated to fully evolve the coherent structures in the TBL.A comparative experiment is carried out by time-resolved particle image velocimetry on a smooth surface and the SHPo surface at Re_(τ)=528.Velocity profiles with high spatial resolution are obtained by the single-pixel resolution ensemble correlation method.The reduction of the streamwise velocity gradient is observed in the near-wall region of y<0.05δ99 on the SHPo surface.By comparing the turbulence statistics,it is discovered that the Reynolds shear stress is reduced by 15.7%,and the turbulent kinetic energy is reduced by 12.3%on the SHPo surface.The coherent structures are investigated by the snapshot proper orthogonal decomposition(POD)and conditional average method.The intensity of Q_(2)/Q_(4)events on the SHPo surface has declined by 16.1%and 12.7%,respectively.The number of clockwise spanwise vortices is substantially reduced by 47%.Through spatial two-point correlation analysis,the streamwise and wall-normal direction scales of the coherent structures on the SHPo surface are suppressed.

Direct Numerical Simulation of Convective Heat Transfer in a Zero-Pressure-Gradient Boundary Layer with Supercritical Water

Experimental research has long shown that forced-convective heat transfer in wall-bounded turbulent flows of fluids in the supercritical thermodynamic state is not accurately predicted by correlations that have been developed for single-phase fluids in the subcritical thermodynamic state. In the present computational study, the statistical properties of turbulent flow as well as the development of coherent flow structures in a zero-pressuregradient flat-plate boundary layer are investigated in the absence of body forces, where the working fluid is in the supercritical thermodynamic state. The simulated boundary layers are developed to a friction Reynolds number of 250 for two heat-flux to mass-flux ratios corresponding to cases where normal heat transfer and improved heat transfer are observed. In the case where improved heat transfer is observed, spanwise spacing of the near-wall coherent flow structures is reduced due to a relatively less stable flow environment resulting from the lower magnitudes of the wall-normal viscosity-gradient profile.

Passive Control of Transonic Flow Fields with Shock Wave Using Non-equilibrium Condensation and Porous Wall

When non-equilibrium condensation occurs in a supersonic flow field, the flow is affected by the latent heat released. In the present study, in order to control the transonic flow field with shock wave, a condensing flow was produced by an expansion of moist air on a circular bump model and shock waves were occurred in the supersonic parts of the fields. Furthermore, the additional passive technique of shock / boundary layer interaction using the porous wall with a cavity underneath was adopted in this flow field. The effects of these methods on the shock wave characteristics were investigated numerically and experimentally. The result obtained showed that the total pressure loss in the flow fields might be effectively reduced by the suitable combination between non-equilibrium condensation and the position of porous wall.

Massive heat transfer enhancement of Rayleigh-Benard turbulence over rough surfaces and under horizontal vibration

We carried out direct numerical simulations of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection(RBC)with accounting for both the roughness and the external vibration over the Rayleigh number range 10^(7)≤Ra≤10^(11) and the vibration frequency range 0<ω<1400.The triangular rough elements are uniformly distributed over the top and bottom surfaces,and the vibration is applied in the horizontal direction.It is shown that under the combined action of roughness and horizontal vibration,with increasing the vibration frequency ω,the heat transfer is initially decreased a little and then greatly enhanced after ω exceeds the critical value.The physical reason for massive heat-transfer-enhancement is that high frequency vibration destabilizes thermal boundary layers(BL)over rough surfaces,triggers abundant emissions of thermal plumes,and strengthens the motion of large-scale circulation(LSC),which consequently thins the thickness of thermal BL and heightens the convective transport.In addition,it is shown that vibration-induced heat-transfer-enhancement can obviously affect the scaling behavior between the heat flux and the Rayleigh number,and the scaling exponent increases with increasing ω,whereas the influence of vibration on the scaling behavior between the intensity of LSC and Ra is very weak.
