RECONSTRUCTION OF PART OF AN ACTUAL BLAST-WAVE FLOW FIELD TO AGREE WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA BY USING NUMERICAL METHOD WITH HIGH IDENTIFICATION

In this paper, on the basis of experimental data of two kinds of chemical explosions, the piston-pushing model of spherical blast-waves and the second-order Godunov-type scheme of finite difference methods with high identification to discontinuity are used to the numerical reconstruction of part of an actual hemispherical blast-wave flow field by properly adjusting the moving bounary conditions of a piston. This method is simple and reliable. It is suitable to the evaluation of effects of the blast-wave flow field away from the explosion center.

A method for extracting the preseismic gravity anomalies over the Tibetan Plateau based on the maximum shear strain using GRACE data

The occurrence of earthquakes is closely related to the crustal geotectonic movement and the migration of mass,which consequently cause changes in gravity.The Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment(GRACE)satellite data can be used to detect gravity changes associated with large earthquakes.However,previous GRACE satellite-based seismic gravity-change studies have focused more on coseismic gravity changes than on preseismic gravity changes.Moreover,the noise of the north–south stripe in GRACE data is difficult to eliminate,thereby resulting in the loss of some gravity information related to tectonic activities.To explore the preseismic gravity anomalies in a more refined way,we first propose a method of characterizing gravity variation based on the maximum shear strain of gravity,inspired by the concept of crustal strain.The offset index method is then adopted to describe the gravity anomalies,and the spatial and temporal characteristics of gravity anomalies before earthquakes are analyzed at the scales of the fault zone and plate,respectively.In this work,experiments are carried out on the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas,and the following findings are obtained:First,from the observation scale of the fault zone,we detect the occurrence of large-area gravity anomalies near the epicenter,oftentimes about half a year before an earthquake,and these anomalies were distributed along the fault zone.Second,from the observation scale of the plate,we find that when an earthquake occurred on the Tibetan Plateau,a large number of gravity anomalies also occurred at the boundary of the Tibetan Plateau and the Indian Plate.Moreover,the aforementioned experiments confirm that the proposed method can successfully capture the preseismic gravity anomalies of large earthquakes with a magnitude of less than 8,which suggests a new idea for the application of gravity satellite data to earthquake research.

Finite Element Simulation of Flexible Roll Forming with Supplemented Material Data and the Experimental Verification

Flexible roll forming is a promising manufacturing method for the production of variable cross section products. Considering the large plastic strain in this forming process which is much larger than that of uniform deformation phase of uniaxial tensile test, the widely adopted method of simulating the forming processes with non-supplemented material data from uniaxial tensile test will certainly lead to large error. To reduce this error, the material data is supplemented based on three constitutive models. Then a finite element model of a six passes flexible roll forming process is established based on the supplemented material data and the original material data from the uniaxial tensile test. The flexible roll forming experiment of a B pillar reinforcing plate is carried out to verify the proposed method. Final cross section shapes of the experimental and the simulated results are compared. It is shown that the simulation calculated with supplemented material data based on Swift model agrees well with the experimental results, while the simulation based on original material data could not predict the actual deformation accurately. The results indicate that this material supplement method is reliable and indispensible, and the simulation model can well reflect the real metal forming process. Detailed analysis of the distribution and history of plastic strain at different positions are performed. A new material data supplement method is proposed to tackle the problem which is ignored in other roll forming simulations, and thus the forming process simulation accuracy can be greatly improved.

Simulation and Performance Analysis of Six Types of Sun Tracker Approaches:A Comparative Analysis for Solar Concentrating Technology Application at Burkina Faso

Modelization equations of six approaches for tracking the sun are recalled and used to evaluate the constraints and performances to which they lead to.The geographical study case is taken for the specific latitude of 12 North that is a good matching with the location of the country of Burkina Faso.Three decisive periods were locally established in order to consider the different travels of the sun on sky during one year.This work presents some technical data which facilitates the choice of sun tracking approaches with concern of a concentrator limits such as its angle of acceptance,its motion control card interpolation model,or its minimum irradiation level for energy conversion effectiveness.

Experimental Investigation and Semi-Active Control Design of A Magnetorheological Engine Mount

In this paper;the dynamic characteristics of a semi-active magnetorheological fluid(MRF)engine mount are studied.To do so,the performance of the MRF engine mount is experimentally examined in higher frequencies(50~170 Hz)and the various amplitudes(0.01~0.2 mm).In such an examination,an MRF engine mount along with its magnetically biased is fabricated and successfully measured.In addition,the natural frequencies of the system are obtained by standard hammer modal test.For modelling the behavior of the system,a mass-spring-damper model with tuned PID coefficients based on Pessen integral of absolute error method is used.The parameters of such a model including mass,damping ratio,and stiffness are identified with the help of experimental modal tests and the recursive least square method(RLS).It is shown that using PID controller leads to reducing the vibration transmissibility in the resonance frequency(=93.45 Hz)with respect to the typical passive engine mount by a factor of 58%.The average of the vibration transmissibility decreasing is also 43%within frequency bandwidth(50~170 Hz).

Water storage changes in North America retrieved from GRACE gravity and GPS data

As global warming continues,the monitoring of changes in terrestrial water storage becomes increasingly important since it plays a critical role in understanding global change and water resource management.In North America as elsewhere in the world,changes in water resources strongly impact agriculture and animal husbandry.From a combination of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment（GRACE） gravity and Global Positioning System（GPS） data,it is recently found that water storage from August,2002 to March,2011 recovered after the extreme Canadian Prairies drought between 1999 and 2005.In this paper,we use GRACE monthly gravity data of Release 5 to track the water storage change from August,2002 to June,2014.In Canadian Prairies and the Great Lakes areas,the total water storage is found to have increased during the last decade by a rate of 73.8 ± 14.5 Gt/a,which is larger than that found in the previous study due to the longer time span of GRACE observations used and the reduction of the leakage error.We also find a long term decrease of water storage at a rate of-12.0 ± 4.2 Gt/a in Ungava Peninsula,possibly due to permafrost degradation and less snow accumulation during the winter in the region.In addition,the effect of total mass gain in the surveyed area,on present-day sea level,amounts to-0.18 mm/a,and thus should be taken into account in studies of global sea level change.

Evaluation of Reanalysis Data Based on the Three-dimensional High-density Sounding Data of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Based on the data of the third Qinghai-Tibet Plateau atmospheric science experiment from 2015 to 2017,the applicability of plateau weather systems and meteorological elements of two commonly used reanalysis data(NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data set,and ERA-Interim reanalysis data set)in the plateau was evaluated.Some conclusions are obtained as follows.Compared with EC reanalysis data,NCEP reanalysis data are more consistent with the scientific experimental data.The correlation of geopotential height is above 0.99,followed by temperature;The correlation of specific humidity is the worst.Seen from average deviation,geopotential height and temperature are both lower;for EC,the westerly and southerly winds are both weaker;for NCEP,westerly wind is weaker,while southerly wind is stronger;specific humidity is higher.From the perspective of monthly and seasonal distribution characteristics,the average deviation of geopotential height is larger in spring and summer,and that of temperature is slightly worse in late spring and early summer.In terms of wind field,EC deviation is more obvious in winter,while NCEP deviation is more obvious in late spring and early summer.Seen from spatial distribution,the deviations of geological height and temperature in the north of the plateau are smaller than those in the south of the plateau.For wind field,the westerly wind in the Qaidam Basin is weaker,and the southerly wind in the southern plateau is weaker.In vertical profile,the deviation of geopotential height at high levels is greater than that of low levels.The deviation of temperature and wind field is larger near the ground.The temperature at middle levels and the westerly wind at middle and high levels are smaller,and southerly wind is stronger for NCEP.The establishment of the three sounding stations(Gaize,Shenzha and Shiquanhe)is conducive to the discovery of plateau vortex and plateau shear line in the western plateau.The western plateau vortex and plateau shear line mostly appeared in the flood season.Most plateau weather systems were maintained within 24 h,and mainly appeared and disappeared in situ.The objective recognition rate of EC for plateau weather systems is higher than NCEP,so EC is more conducive to the diagnosis and analysis of evolution characteristics of plateau weather systems.

An improved oil recovery prediction method for volatile oil reservoirs

To describe the complex phase transformation in the process of depletion exploitation of volatile oil reservoir,four fluid phases are defined,and production and remaining volume of these phases are calculated based on the principle of surface volume balance,then the recovery prediction method of volatile oil reservoir considering the influence of condensate content in released solution gas and the correction method of multiple degassing experiments data are established.Taking three typical kinds of crude oil(black oil,medium-weak volatile oil,strong volatile oil)as examples,the new improved method is used to simulate constant volume depletion experiments based on the corrected data of multiple degassing experiment to verify the reliability of the modified method.By using"experimental data and traditional method","corrected data and traditional method"and"corrected data and modified method",recovery factors of these three typical kinds of oil are calculated respectively.The source of parameters and the calculation methods have little effect on the recovery of typical black oil.However,with the increase of crude oil volatility,the oil recovery will be seriously underestimated by using experimental data or traditional method.The combination of"corrected data and modified method"considers the influence of condensate in gas phase in both experimental parameters and calculation method,and has good applicability to typical black oil and volatile oil.The strong shrinkage of volatile oil makes more"liquid oil"convert to"gaseous oil",so volatile oil reservoir can reach very high oil recovery by depletion drive.

Prediction of Seaward Slope Recession in Berm Breakwaters Using M5＇ Machine Learning Approach

In the design process of berm breakwaters, their front slope recession has an inevitable rule in large number of model tests, and this parameter being studied. This research draws its data from Moghim＇s and Shekari＇s experiment results. These experiments consist of two different 2D model tests in two wave flumes, in which the berm recession to different sea state and structural parameters have been studied. Irregular waves with a JONSWAP spectrum were used in both test series. A total of 412 test results were used to cover the impact of sea state conditions such as wave height, wave period, storm duration and water depth at the toe of the structure, and structural parameters such as berm elevation from still water level, berm width and stone diameter on berm recession parameters. In this paper, a new set of equations for berm recession is derived using the M5＇ model tree as a machine learning approach. A comparison is made between the estimations by the new formula and the formulae recently given by other researchers to show the preference of new M5＇ approach.

A NEW METHOD OF BAD POINTS ELIMINATION BASED ON HOUGH TRANSFORM

In experimental tests, besides data in range of allowable error, the experimenters usually get some unexpected wrong data called bad points. In usual experimental data processing, the method of bad points exclusion based on automatic programming is seldom taken into consideration by researchers. This paper presents a new method to reject bad points based on Hough transform, which is modified to save computational and memory consumptions. It is fit for linear data processing and can be extended to process data that is possible to be transformed into and from linear form; curved lines, which can be effectively detected by Hough transform. In this paper, the premise is the distribution of data, such as linear distribution and exponential distribution, is predetermined. Steps of the algorithm start from searching for an approximate curve line that minimizes the sum of parameters of data points. The data points, whose parameters are above a self-adapting threshold, will be deleted. Simulation experiments have manifested that the method proposed in this paper performs efficiently and robustly.

Evaluation of a Micro-scale Wind Model's Performance over Realistic Building Clusters Using Wind Tunnel Experiments

The simulation performance over complex building clusters of a wind simulation model（Wind Information Field Fast Analysis model, WIFFA） in a micro-scale air pollutant dispersion model system（Urban Microscale Air Pollution dispersion Simulation model, UMAPS） is evaluated using various wind tunnel experimental data including the CEDVAL（Compilation of Experimental Data for Validation of Micro-Scale Dispersion Models） wind tunnel experiment data and the NJU-FZ experiment data（Nanjing University-Fang Zhuang neighborhood wind tunnel experiment data）. The results show that the wind model can reproduce the vortexes triggered by urban buildings well, and the flow patterns in urban street canyons and building clusters can also be represented. Due to the complex shapes of buildings and their distributions, the simulation deviations/discrepancies from the measurements are usually caused by the simplification of the building shapes and the determination of the key zone sizes. The computational efficiencies of different cases are also discussed in this paper. The model has a high computational efficiency compared to traditional numerical models that solve the Navier–Stokes equations, and can produce very high-resolution（1–5 m） wind fields of a complex neighborhood scale urban building canopy（～ 1 km ×1km） in less than 3 min when run on a personal computer.

Monthly gravity field solution from GRACE range measurements using modified short arc approach

In this paper we present a series of monthly gravity field solutions from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment（GRACE） range measurements using modified short arc approach,in which the ambiguity of range measurements is eliminated via differentiating two adjacent range measurements.The data used for developing our monthly gravity field model are same as Tongji-GRACEOl model except that the range measurements are used to replace the range rate measurements,and our model is truncated to degree and order 60,spanning Jan.2004 to Dec.2010 also same as Tongji-GRACE01 model.Based on the comparison results of the C_（2,0）,C_（2,1）,S_（2,1）,and C_（15,15）,S_（15,15）,time series and the global mass change signals as well as the mass change time series in Amazon area of our model with those of Tongji-GRACE01 model,we can conclude that our monthly gravity field model is comparable with Tongji-GRACE01 monthly model.

Implementation of a Multi-sampling-frequency System for RR-interval Timing and Blood Pressure Detection

In order to analyze the experimental cardiovascular signal with high accuracy, a system, integrating real-time monitoring and off-line further analysis, was developed and verified. The design, data processing and analysis methods as well as testing results are described. With 5 sampling frequency choices and 8 channel data acquisition, the system achieved high performances in beat-to-beat monitoring, signal processing and analysis. Tests were carried out to validate its performance in real-time monitoring, effectiveness of digital filters, QRS and blood pressure detection reliability, and RR-interval timing accuracy. The QRS detection rate was at least 99.46% for the records with few noises from MIT-BIH arrhythmia database using the algorithm for real-time monitoring, and no less than 96.43% for the records with some noises. In the condition that noise amplitude levels were less than 80%,the standard deviations for RR-interval timing were less than 1 ms with a generated ECG corrupted with various noises from MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database. Besides, the system is open for function expansion to meet further study-specific needs.

Benford or Not Benford:A Systematic But Not Always Well-Founded Use of an Elegant Law in Experimental Fields

In this paper,we will propose a way to accurately model certain naturally occurring collections of data.Through this proposed model,the proportion of d as leading digit,d∈[1,9],in data is more likely to follow a law whose probability distribution is determined by a specific upper bound,rather than Benford’s Law,as one might have expected.These probability distributions fluctuate nevertheless around Benford’s values.These peculiar fluctuations have often been observed in the literature in such data sets(where the physical,biological or economical quantities considered are upper bounded).Knowing beforehand the value of this upper bound enables to find,through the developed model,a better adjusted law than Benford’s one.

Air concentration distribution in the impact zone of spillway aerator

The chute aerators separate the flow from the chute bottom,and the violent turbulence is generated after the flow impacts the bottom.Although the chute aerators were widely investigated experimentally,the air concentration distribution of the lower jet in the impact zone remains to be explored systematically.In the impact zone,it is observed that a portion of the air stays in the rollers instead of traveling with the flow,decreasing the air transportation capacity.Based on extensive tests,a comprehensive formula is developed to compute the air concentration distribution in the impact zone,with results in good agreement with the model tests.

Central nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic energies with a new method based on Random Matrix Theory

Using the method based on Random Matrix Theory （RMT）, the results for the nearest-neighbor distributions obtained from the experimental data on ^12C-C collisions at 4.2 AGeV/c have been discussed and compared with the simulated data on ^12C-C collisions at 4.2 AGeV/c produced with the aid of the Dubna Cascade Model. The results show that the correlation of secondary particles decreases with an increasing number of charged particles Nch. These observed changes in the nearest-neighbor distributions of charged particles could be associated with the centrality variation of the collisions.
