The shear strength is equal to the sum of the internal frictional force and the cohesive force. The influences of type, shape, size distribution, pore ratio, moisture content and variation of vibration velocity on the dynamic shear strength of granules were studied. Based on numerous vibration shear experiments, the authors investigate the mechanism of dynamic shear strength in granules in terms of the fundamental principle and the relevant theory of modern tribology.展开更多

The Tibetan Plateau causes the downward shortwave fluxes of the lower atmosphere over central China to be smaller than the fluxes over southern and northern China by generating more clouds. The existence of a larger quantity of clouds over central China reflects a greater amount of solar radiation back into space. The vertical gradients of upward shortwave radiative fluxes in the atmosphere below 8 km are greater than those above 8 km. The latitudinal-altitude distributions of downward longwave radiative fluxes show a slantwise decreasing trend from low latitudes to high latitudes that gradually weaken in the downward direction. The upward longwave radiative fluxes also weaken in the upward direction but with larger gradients. The maximum heating rates by solar radiation and cooling rates by longwave infrared radiation are located over 28 40°N at 7 8 km mean sea level (MSL), and they are larger than the rates in the northern and southern regions. The heating and cooling rates match well both vertically and geographically.展开更多

Thus, this study presents a mathematical model describing the behavior of the velocity profile internally to a diffuser according to the characteristics of flow and geometry of a conical diffuser. The results are compared with experimental data and show good agreement.展开更多

Separation has been obtained on a flat plate installed within a converging-diverging test section specifically designed to attain a local velocity distribution typical of a high-lift LPT blade. Both experimental and numerical investigations have been carried out. Unsteady RANS results have been compared with experiments in terms of time-averaged velocity and turbulence intensity distributions. Two different Reynolds number cases have been investigated, namely Re = 200,000 and Re = 70,000, which characterize low-pressure turbine operating conditions during take-off/landing and cruise. A range of synthetic jet aerodynamic parameters (Strouhal number and blowing ratio) has been tested in order to analyze the features of control-separated boundary layer interaction for the aforementioned Reynolds numbers.展开更多

For any starting point inside D, we run a diffusion until it first exits D, at which time it stays at the exit point ξ for an independent exponential holding time with rate βξ and then leaves ξ by a jump into D according to the distribution ξ. Once the process jumps inside, it starts the diffusion afresh. The same evolution is repeated independently each time the process jumped into the domain. The resulting Markov process is called diffusion with holding and jumping boundary (DHJ), which is not reversible due to the jumping. In this paper we provide a study of DHJ on its generator, stationary distribution and the speed of convergence.展开更多
