Effects of Adaptive Random Deceleration on Traffic Flow

Based on the Nagel-Schreckenberg model, an improved cellular automaton traffic flow model is proposed, in which the random deceleration probability of each vehicle is no longer fixed, but is adaptively adjusted according to the local traffic density in its vision and its current velocity. The numerical simulation results show that the maximum traffic capacity of the improved model under the same parameters is greater than that of the Nagel-Schreckenberg model, and is closer to the measured data. In addition, the traffic flow and vehicle velocity under different meteorological conditions are simulated by using the improved model, and the synchronized flow phenomenon consistent with the actual traffic is reproduced. Meanwhile, the results show that under the same parameters, when the traffic density is equal to 0.3, the traffic flow of the improved model increases by about 11% compared with the original model, and when the traffic density increases to 0.6, the traffic flow increases by about 27%. .

Self-similarity of spanwise rotational motions’population trends in decelerating open-channel flow

Decelerating open-channel flow is a type of flow that gradually moves forward with decreasing velocity and increasing water depth.Although all flow parameters change along the streamwise direction,previous studies have revealed that these parameters’vertical distributions at different sections can be universally described with a single profile when being nondimensionalised by appropriate scales.This study focuses on the population trends of spanwise rotational motions at various sections along the main flow direction by particle imaging velocimetry(PIV)measurement.The wall-normal population distributions of density,radius,swirling strength,and convection velocity of the prograde and retrograde motions show similar trends in uniform open-channel flows.The dimensionless representation is invariant along the main flow direction.This study’s results indicate the self-similar characteristic of population trends of spanwise rotational motions prevails in decelerating open-channel flow.

Nonlinear Vibration and Stability Analysis of Axially Accelerating Beam in Axial Flow

The dynamics of an axially accelerating beam subjected to axial flow is studied.Based on the Floquet theory and the Runge-Kutta algorithm,the stability and nonlinear vibration of the beam are analyzed by considering the effects of several system parameters such as the mean speed,flow velocity,axial added mass coefficient,mass ratio,slenderness ratio,tension and viscosity coefficient.Numerical results show that when the pulsation frequency of the axial speed is close to the sum of first-and second-mode frequencies or twice the lowest two natural frequencies,instability with combination or subharmonic resonance would occur.It is found that the beam can undergo the periodic-1 motion under subharmonic resonance and the quasi-periodic motion under combination resonance.With the change of system parameters,the stability boundary may be widened,narrowed or drifted.In addition,the vibration amplitude of the beam under resonance can also be affected by changing the values of system parameters.

Flow-Accelerated Corrosion in Pipe Wall Downstream of Orifice for Water and Air-Water Bubble Flows

An orifice is used widely as a flow meter or a contraction device in pipeline systems in hydro-power plants, thermal power plants, and chemical plants because of its simple construction, high reliability, and low cost. However, it is well known that flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) occurs on the pipe wall downstream of the orifice. Some of the authors have examined FAC through experimental and numerical analyses and have reported that one of the major governing parameters of FAC for single-phase water flow is the pressure fluctuation p’ on the pipe wall, and also that pipe wall thinning rate TR can be estimated by p’. In addition, they have presented the effects of the ori-fice geometry on p’ or TR, and have described a method for suppressing p’ or TR. In the present study, FAC for a two-phase air-water bubble flow is examined and compared with the single-phase water flow experimentally. Further, it is shown that because p’ is also considered a governing parameter of FAC for a two-phase air-water bubble flow, TR can be estimated using p’. It is also indicated that, by using a downstream pipe with a smaller diameter than that of the upstream pipe, p’ or TR can be suppressed.

NURBS CURVE INTERPOLATOR WITH ADAPTIVE ACCELERATION-DECELERATION CONTROL

The feedrate profile of non-uniform rational B-spline （NURBS） interpolation due to the contour errors is analyzed. A NURBS curve interpolator with adaptive acceleration-deceleration control is presented. In interpo- lation preprocessing, the sensitive zones of feedrate variations are processed with acceleration-deceleration control. By using the proposed algorithm, the machining accuracy is guaranteed and the feedrate is adaptively adjusted to he smoothed. The mechanical shock imposed in the servo system is avoided by the first and the second time derivatives of feedrates. A simulation of NURBS interpolation is given to demonstrate the validity and the effectiveness of the algorithm. The proposed interpolator can also be applied to the trajectory planning of the other parametric curves.

A Generalized Acceleration and Deceleration Approach for Continuous Small Line Blocks with Look-ahead

Generally complex 3D contours are divided into a lot of continuous small line blocks by CAD/CAM software. When these small line blocks are used in conventional way,machine tool has to stop at the end of one move before continuing on to the next to meet accuracy requirement,which results in inefficiency.Look-ahead is an intelligent function that aims at adjusting the feed rate automatically to achieve maximum productivity while maintaining accuracy.By now most researchers just utilize the simplest linear acceleration(ACC)and deceleration(DEC)to deal with look-ahead intelligence.A generalized ACC/DEC ap- proach and corresponding optimal look-ahead algorithm based on dynamic back tracking along a doubly linked list are proposed.An improved rounding strategy for reducing interpolation errors is also presented.By using the proposed techniques,arbitrary velocity profiles that offer look-ahead feature and have the desired ACC/DEC characteristics for movement of a lot of continuous line blocks can be generated efficiently.Both simulations and experiments showed the productivity was dramatically increased without sacri- fice of accuracy.

Research on cubic polynomial acceleration and deceleration control model for high speed NC machining

To satisfy the need of high speed NC (numerical control) machining, an acceleration and deceleration (acc/dec) control model is proposed, and the speed curve is also constructed by the cubic polynomial. The proposed control model provides continuity of acceleration, which avoids the intense vibration in high speed NC machining. Based on the discrete characteristic of the data sampling interpolation, the acc/dec control discrete mathematical model is also set up and the discrete expression of the theoretical deceleration length is obtained furthermore. Aiming at the question of hardly predetermining the deceleration point in acc/dec control before interpolation, the adaptive acc/dec control algorithm is deduced from the expressions of the theoretical deceleration length. The experimental result proves that the acc/dec control model has the characteristic of easy implementation, stable movement and low impact. The model has been applied in multi-axes high speed micro fabrication machining successfully.

Investigation on Flow Accelerated Corrosion Mitigation for Secondary Circuit Piping of the Third Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant

Flow accelerated corrosion（FAC） is the main failure cause of the secondary circuit carbon steel piping in nuclear power plants.The piping failures caused by FAC have resulted in numerous unplanned outages and tragic fatalities.The existing researches focus on the main factors contributing to FAC,which include metallurgical factors,environmental factors and hydrodynamic factors. Some effective FAC management methods and programs with long term monitoring and inspection data analysis are recommended.But a comprehensive FAC management system should be developed in order to mitigate and manage FAC systematically.In this paper,the FAC influencing factors are analyzed in combination with the operating conditions of the secondary circuit piping in the Third Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant（TQNPP）,China（Third Qinshan Nuclear Power Company Limited,China）.A comprehensive FAC mitigation and management system is developed for TQNPP secondary circuit piping.The system is composed of five processes,viz.materials substitution,water chemical optimization,long-term monitor strategy for the susceptible piping,integrity evaluation of the local thinning defects,and repair or replacement.With the implementation of the five processes,the material of FAC sensitive pipe fittings are modified from carbon steel to stainless steel,N_2H_4 and NH_3 are finally selected as the water chemical regulator of secondary circuit,the secondary circuit pips are classified according to FAC susceptibility in order to conduct long term monitoring strategy,and an integrity evaluation flow for local thinning caused by FAC in carbon steel piping is developed.If the component with local thinning defects is not fit-for-service,corresponding repair or replacement should be conducted.The comprehensive FAC mitigation and management system with five interrelated processes would be a cost-effective method of increasing personnel safety,plant safety and availability.

Non-Acceleration Theorem in a Primitive Equation System: I. Acceleration of Zonal Mean Flow

Non-acceleration theorem in a primitive equation system is developed to investigate the influences of waves on the mean flow variation against external forcing. Numerical results show that mechanical forcing overwhelms thermal forcing in maintaining the mean flow in which the internal mechanical forcing associated with horizontal eddy flux of momentum plays the most important roles. Both internal forcing and external forcing are shown to be active and at the first place for the mean flow variations, whereas the forcing-induced mean meridional circulation is passive and secondary. It is also shown that the effects on mean flow of external mechanical forcing are concentrated in the lower troposphere, whereas those due to wave-mean flow interaction are more important in the upper troposphere. These act together and result in the vertically easterly shear in low latitudes and westerly shear in mid-latitudes. This vertical shear of mean flow is to some extent weakened by thermal forcing.

Earth rotation deceleration/acceleration due to semidiurnal oceanic/atmospheric tides:Revisited with new calculation

The global oceanic/atmospheric tides exert decelerating/accelerating secular torques on the Earth rotation. We developed new formulations to accurately calculate amounts of two kinds of secular tidal torques. After Melchior, we found that an additional factor 1+k-l = 1.216, which has been formerly neglected, must be multiplied unto the tidal torque integral. By using our refined formulations and the recent oceanic/atmospheric global tide models, we found that:(i) semidiurnal oceanic lunar/solar tides exert decelerating torques of about-4.462 × 10^(16)/-0.676 × 10^(16) Nm respectively and(ii) atmospheric S_2 tide exerts accelerating torque of 1.55 × 10^(15) Nm. Former estimates of the atmospheric S_2 tidal torque were twice as large as our estimate due to improper consideration of loading effect. We took the load Love number for atmospheric loading effect from Guo et al.(2004). For atmospheric loading of spherical harmonic degree two, the value of k′=-0.6031 is different from that for ocean loading as k′ =-0.3052,while the latter is currently used for both cases-ocean/atmospheric loading-without distinction. We discuss(i) the amount of solid Earth tidal dissipation(which has been left most uncertain) and(ii) secular changes of the dynamical state of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. Our estimate of the solid Earth tidal torque is-4.94×10^(15) Nm.

Flow-accelerated corrosion behavior of 13Cr stainless steel in a wet gas environment containing CO_2

This work investigated the flow-accelerated corrosion （FAC） behavior of 13Cr in a wet CO2-containing environment at different flowing gas velocities mid impinging mlgles, with the natural-gas pipeline environment simulated by a self-assembled impingement jet sys- tem. Surface molphology determination, electrochemical measurements, mid hydromechaziics numerical analysis were cmlied out to study the FAC behavior. The results demonstrate that pitting corrosion was the primary mode of corrosion in 13Cr stainless steel. High-flow-rate gas destroyed the passive film mid decreased the pitting potential, resulting in more serious corrosion. The corrosion degree witk various im- pact mlgles showed the following order： 90~ 〉 60~ 〉 45~. The shear force and the electrolyte from the flowing gas were concluded to be the determinm^t factors of FAC, whereas the shear force was the main factor responsible for destroying the passive film.

基于改进三角函数加减速的一步拐角过渡法

加减速控制是数控系统的关键技术之一,影响着零件加工时的高效性和平稳性,同时由于传统数控系统在加工复杂的曲线曲面时,需要生成的大量连续微线段,这不仅增加了数控系统的负担,且在拐角处仅G0连续,导致在拐角处频繁加减速和机床振动,降低零件加工效率和加工质量.两步法拐角过渡是先进行轨迹光顺再进行速度规划,不仅步骤繁琐,而且降低了加工效率.因此,针对传统三角函数中最大加加速度只存在峰值导致加工效率降低的问题,本文先对加减速连续性较好的传统三角函数加减速控制算法进行改进,以sin^(2)x作为加加速度的基函数建立加减速规划的模型,并在其运动模型中增加匀加加速度加减速阶段.针对数控加工中连续微线段拐角处加工效率低、插补轨迹连续性低的问题,提出了新的一步法拐角过渡方法.该方法是通过一步法拐角过渡算法在速度规划阶段直接完成轨迹光顺.最后根据轮廓误差和机床各轴动态性能的限制对过渡时间、速度、加速度及加加速度进行约束.实验证明,提出的方法能够进一步提高加工中的加减速柔性,能够利用最大加加速度持续加减速,且在保证加工效率的基础上提高伺服控制的跟随精度,使得误差检测的精度能够满足要求.

不同流向上小流道加热管内超临界CO_(2)的压降特性

针对不同流动方向上超临界CO_(2)流体在小流道加热管径为0.75mm内的压降特性进行了实验研究。结果表明,不同流动(水平流动、垂直向上流动以及垂直向下流动)方向上,实验总压降、摩擦压降以及加速度压降均随着系统压力的升高而逐渐减小,而随着质量流量的增大、加热功率以及进口温度的升高而增大。然而,在垂直流动方向上重力压降随着系统压力的升高以及质量流量的增大而逐渐增大,但随着加热功率以及进口温度的升高而逐渐减小。当系统压力、质量流量、加热功率以及进口温度保持恒定时,不同流动方向上超临界CO_(2)流体的摩擦压降均在实验总压降中所占有的比例最大,而重力压降在实验总压降中所占有的比例最小。通过两种测试管径的压降数据比较可知,超临界CO_(2)流体在不同流动方向上实验总压降的变化趋势始终保持一致,并且小管径的实验总压降远大于大管径的实验总压降,从而说明测试管径的尺寸大小对实验总压降的变化有着显著影响。

复杂管道浓差腐蚀机制深入分析

在关于管道的流动加速腐蚀研究中,浓差腐蚀这一机制一直被忽视,这是因为这种腐蚀的出现需要一定的条件,即流体中的氧的分布存在较大的差异。为了揭示这种机制的腐蚀过程,本文以复杂形状管道为例,采用数值模拟技术建立了关于浓差腐蚀的数学模型。将管道壁面附近的流体粘性底层作为研究对象,对其进行离散化处理,然后根据基尔霍夫第二定律建立了关于极化后的腐蚀电流的离散方程组,并对其进行求解,得到了浓差腐蚀条件下,离子导电层的电流分布。结果表明:浓差腐蚀会引起腐蚀电流的极大的改变,使管路各部位的腐蚀情况有所改变,如果不考虑浓差腐蚀,对管路的腐蚀情况会产生错误判断。
