Flow control deals with the problem in which a device receives frames faster than it can process them. Credit is an important service parameter for fibre channel flow control. Configuring the credit reasonably can avoid buffer overflow in nodes. This paper derives the mathematic relationships among credit, bandwidth and message sets under real-time condition according as three main topologies of fibre channel, and proposes the credit determination and the optimal credit for typical message sets. This study is based on the features of hard real-time communications in avionics environment.展开更多

The obtained results are in good agreement with the experimental data. In the laminar flow regime, more fibres orient to the flow direction as the Reynolds number increases. The shear rate of fluid around a fibre plays an important role in determining the orientation distribution of fibres, while the fibre density and the fibre aspect-ratio have marginal influence on the orientation distribution. In the turbulent regime, the orientation distribution of fibres becomes more homogeneous with the increase of Reynolds number, and the concentration profile is flatter than that in the laminar regime. The fluctuating intensity of fibre velocity in the downstream direction is larger than that in the lateral directions.展开更多

The modified stability equation was obtained based on the slender-body theory and natural closure approximation. Results of the stability analysis show attenuating effects of fibre additives to the flow instability. For the cases leading to transition, drag reduction rate increases with the characteristic parameter H of fibres. The mechanism of drag reduction by fibres is revealed through the variation of velocity profile and the decrease of wall shear stress. The theoretical results are qualitatively consistent with some typical experiments.展开更多

文摘Fibre channel （FC） is the main candidate architecture for ＂unified network＂. Flow control deals with the problem in which a device receives frames faster than it can process them. Credit is an important service parameter for fibre channel flow control. Configuring the credit reasonably can avoid buffer overflow in nodes. This paper derives the mathematic relationships among credit, bandwidth and message sets under real-time condition according as three main topologies of fibre channel, and proposes the credit determination and the optimal credit for typical message sets. This study is based on the features of hard real-time communications in avionics environment.
