It forms a gigantic seismic array that provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the Earth's deep interior besides its routine task of seismic monitoring. Many modern seismic studies rely on rotation of vertical and horizontal components in order to separate different types of seismic waves. Knowledge of the orientations of the two horizontal components thus is important to perform a correction rotation. We analyzed particle motions of teleseismic P waves recorded by the network and used them to estimate the northcomponent azimuth of each station. An SNR-weighted-multi-event method was introduced to obtain component azimuths that best explain the P-wave particle motions of all the events recorded at a station. The method provides robust estimates including a measurement error calculated from background noise levels. We found that about one third of the stations have some sort of problems, including misorientation of the two horizontal components, mislabeling and polarity reversal in one or more components. These problems need to be taken into account for any rotation based seismic studies.展开更多

But the salt-out flow mechanism in the pump has not been understood fully. Salt-out layer formation and growth rate are closely related to crystal particle motion and concentration distribution. Study on the particle hydrodynamic characteristics in the pump volute becomes a key problem, because the crystal particles are mainly distributing in this zone after they enter the pump. Phase Doppler particle analyzer(PDPA) is used to measure the two-phase flow field in a model pump volute to get more understanding about the salt-out phenomenon. The crystal particle velocities are obtained in all three peripheral, radial and axial directions. Particle size and particle number density(PND) measurements are also performed in the experiment. Results are presented and discussed along the radial direction under different pump operating conditions, as well as various axial measurement positions. It is found that particle velocity gradient of peripheral component varies with the pump discharge. There is a turning point of relation between peripheral velocity component and discharge. Radial flow velocity curves look like a saddle shape and velocity magnitudes are changing greatly with the discharge. The non-equilibrium velocity feature between liquid and solid phase on this direction is also remarkable. Particles flow into the impeller at radial position R〈I, and the axial velocity component increases in this region. The particle size curve shows an open-up parabola distribution. The largest particles are distributing near the casing peripheral wall. As flow rate increases, accordingly PND increases. It also grows up in the axial-outward direction towards the suction cover. Crystal particle aggregation phenomenon can be revealed from the analysis of particle size and PND distribution, and the aggregation region is determined as well. Research results are helpful for optimal design of this kind of pump preventing salt-out.展开更多

To obtain a uniform distribution of TiC particles and excellent strengthening effect in 20%TiC/ZG270-500 composites fabricated by lost foam-squeeze casting(LFSC), the particle motion behavior in the gas gap and the conditions of the particles getting into the molten steel were investigated. The results show that the airflow velocity(v1) and TiC particle motion velocity(uP) change little with the pouring temperature(TP), increase with an increase in metal filling velocity(vP), ratios of cross sections of in-gate/orifice(AP/A0) and orifice/mould cavity(A0/A1), but the increase trend of u P is more intense. The airflow pressure(P1) changes little with TP and A0/A1, but increases with the increasing of vP and AP/A0. Besides, there is a critical velocity(+|3yLGcosθ/ρpdp|1/2) for the particles getting into the molten steel. The higher the particle motion velocity, the easier the particles get into the molten steel and the more uniform the distribution of the particles in the steel matrix. When TP = 1,873 K, vP = 30 mm·s-1, AP/A0 =10 and A0/A1 = 0.02 in this study, the biggest TiC particle motion velocity(20.59 m·s-1) can be gained, and the steel matrix with the most uniformly distributed TiC particles and fine grains are obtained.展开更多

The classical potential flow model is incapable of explaining the particle movement due to the irrotational assumption and to a flaw in carrying out the method. When a wave passes by an observer from left to right, the particles move clockwise under a crest and a trough. This correct conclusion is consistent with what the incorrect standard theory implies but should not be considered to have been derived from it.展开更多

With the blobs-splitting-and-merging scheme, the vortex merging is calculated by a corrected core spreading vortex method (CCSVM). The particle motion in the vortex merging process is calculated according to the particle kinetic model. The results indicate that the particle traces are spiral lines with the same rotation direction as the spinning vortex. The center of the particle group is in agreement with that of the merged vortex. The merging time is determined by the circulation and the initial ratio of the vortex radius and the vortex center distance. Under a certain initial condition, a stretched particle trail is generated, which is determined by the viscosity, the relative position between the particles and the vortex, and the asymmetrical circulation of the two merging vortices.展开更多

It is shown that certain kinds of jumping behavior of the exerting electromagnetic field can lead to a type of noninvertible property, which changes this conservative system into a 'quasi-dissipative' one. The quasi-dissipative behaviors allow the particle to move along a confined chaotic 'quasi-attractor' in many regions of the parameter space. If the exerting electromagnetic field is discontinuous but the system is still invertible, it will take an unbounded chaotic diffusion with similar parameter values. We hope that this discovery could provide a helpful idea for confining the plasma.展开更多

The trajectory is in excellent agreement with the available experimental results. An analysis of the relative importance of the coefficients shows that the rotation effect cannot be neglected near the pore opening or near the wall, and that the lateral force effect must be taken into account in the neighborhood of the edge of the pore opening. It is due to neglecting these factors that previous theoretical results deviate from the experimental ones near the pore opening. The effects of the ratio of the particle to pore radii as well as the influences of the graritytbuoyance on the particle trajectory, velocity distribution and rotation are discnssed in detail. It is pointed out that in the experiments of neutrally-buoyant suspensions, the restriction on the density of the particle is most demanding for a large particle size.The expressions of forces and moments presenled herein are complete, relatively accurate and convenient, thus providing a good prerequisite for further studies of any problems involving the entrance of particles to a pare.展开更多

The d...The paper examines the change of the relativistic kinetic energy of a free particle due to the velocity change of the motion frame in a special case when this reduction leads to the kinetic energy equal to zero. The difference of velocities gives a functional dependent solely on the velocity frame and original velocity of the particle. An analysis applied to the functional gives simple formulae for the extremal values of the mentioned velocity parameters. In the next step, solutions of the equation presented with the functional provide us with the velocities necessary for the vanishing property of the kinetic energy. A characteristic point is that a condition of the velocity of the motion frame smaller than the velocity of light is obtained directly in the applied formalism. This property holds with no reference done to the well-known postulate of the dominant value of the light velocity entering the relativity theory.展开更多

First,the sparse representation is used to compute particle weights by considering the fact that the weights are sparse when the object moves abruptly,so the potential object region can be predicted more precisely. Then,a nonlinear resampling process is proposed by utilizing the nonlinear sorting strategy,which can solve the problem of particle diversity impoverishment caused by traditional resampling methods. Experimental results based on videos containing objects with various abrupt motions have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

Particle motion diagram and aspect ratio methods were used as two different approaches to obtain splitting parameters. Clear shear wave splitting was observed on the records of the selected aftershocks, indicating that the media in the region was highly anisotropic. By using particle motion method, the direction of fast shear wave was found 22°N±19°E, while the delay time between the fast and slow shear waves was obtained to be (65±16) ms. By aspect ratio method, the direction of fast shear wave was determined to be 35°N±18°E and the delay time between fast and slow shear waves was found to be (49±10) ms. For a simple horizontal layer with a thickness about 5 km and uniformly distributed anisotropy, a stress aligned cracks model was used and the result was interpreted in terms of vertical aligned cracks in the direction of N22°E, having a density about 0.01. It is assumed that cracks are fluid-filled since they are located in the upper crust. Finally, by using Hudson cracks model for three crack densities 0.005, 0.01, 0.03, the velocity curves of shear wave were plotted as a function of angle between the symmetrical axis of cracks and the azimuth of source to receiver. It was concluded that when shear wave was polarized parallel to the crack surface, the velocity was uniform, but the velocity curve varied clearly if shear wave was polarized perpendicular to the crack surface.展开更多

The stainless-steel bead mill has inner diameter of 102 mm and mill length of 198 mm. The bead diameter and filling ratio were fixed respectively at 0.5 mm and 85%. The agitator rotational speed was changed from 1863 to 3261 rpm. The bead motion was monitored experimentally using a high-speed video camera through a transparent mill body. For the simulation, enlarged particle sizes were set as 3-6 mm in diameter. With the DEM modified by the enlarged particle model, the motion of enlarged particles in a mill was simulated.The velocity data of the simulated enlarged particles were compared with those obtained in the experiment. The simulated velocity of the enlarged particles depends on the virtual frictional coefficient in the DEM model. The optimized value of the virtual frictional coefficient can be determined by considering the accumulated mean value. Results show that the velocity of the enlarged particles simulated increases with an increase in the optimum virtual frictional coefficient, but the simulated velocity agrees well with that determined experimentally by optimizing the virtual frictional coefficient in the simulation. The computing time in the simulation decreases with increased particle size.展开更多

文摘Collective motion of active particles with polar alignment is investigated on a sphere.We discussed the factors that affect particle swarm motion and define an order parameter that can show the degree of particle swarm motion.In the model,we added a polar alignment strength,along with Gaussian curvature,affecting particles swarm motion.We find that when the force exceeds a certain limit,the order parameter will decrease with the increase of the force.Combined with our definition of order parameter and observation of the model,the reason is that particles begin to move side by side under the influence of polar forces.In addition,the effects of velocity,rotational diffusion coefficient,and packing fraction on particle swarm motion are discussed.It is found that the rotational diffusion coefficient and the packing fraction have a great influence on the clustering motion of particles,while the velocity has little influence on the clustering motion of particles.

文摘Different types of models for describing the motion of a kicked ion were suggested and studied. It is shown that certain kinds of jumping behavior of the exerting electromagnetic field can lead to a type of noninvertible property, which changes this conservative system into a 'quasi-dissipative' one. The quasi-dissipative behaviors allow the particle to move along a confined chaotic 'quasi-attractor' in many regions of the parameter space. If the exerting electromagnetic field is discontinuous but the system is still invertible, it will take an unbounded chaotic diffusion with similar parameter values. We hope that this discovery could provide a helpful idea for confining the plasma.

文摘For any study ofa suspension entering a pore, the knowledge of the force and moment exerted on a solute particle in an arbitrary position outside the pore is essential, 'This paper for the first lime presents approximate analytical expressions (in closed form) of all the twelve force and moment coefficienis for a sphere outsied a circular orifice, on the basis of a number of discrete data computed by Yan et al(1987).These coefficients are then applied to calculate the trajectory and angular velocity of a spherical particle approaching the pore at zero Reynolds number. The trajectory is in excellent agreement with the available experimental results. An analysis of the relative importance of the coefficients shows that the rotation effect cannot be neglected near the pore opening or near the wall, and that the lateral force effect must be taken into account in the neighborhood of the edge of the pore opening. It is due to neglecting these factors that previous theoretical results deviate from the experimental ones near the pore opening. The effects of the ratio of the particle to pore radii as well as the influences of the graritytbuoyance on the particle trajectory, velocity distribution and rotation are discnssed in detail. It is pointed out that in the experiments of neutrally-buoyant suspensions, the restriction on the density of the particle is most demanding for a large particle size.The expressions of forces and moments presenled herein are complete, relatively accurate and convenient, thus providing a good prerequisite for further studies of any problems involving the entrance of particles to a pare.
文摘The paper examines the change of the relativistic kinetic energy of a free particle due to the velocity change of the motion frame in a special case when this reduction leads to the kinetic energy equal to zero. The difference of velocities gives a functional dependent solely on the velocity frame and original velocity of the particle. An analysis applied to the functional gives simple formulae for the extremal values of the mentioned velocity parameters. In the next step, solutions of the equation presented with the functional provide us with the velocities necessary for the vanishing property of the kinetic energy. A characteristic point is that a condition of the velocity of the motion frame smaller than the velocity of light is obtained directly in the applied formalism. This property holds with no reference done to the well-known postulate of the dominant value of the light velocity entering the relativity theory.

文摘Object tracking with abrupt motion is an important research topic and has attracted wide attention.To obtain accurate tracking results,an improved particle filter tracking algorithm based on sparse representation and nonlinear resampling is proposed in this paper. First,the sparse representation is used to compute particle weights by considering the fact that the weights are sparse when the object moves abruptly,so the potential object region can be predicted more precisely. Then,a nonlinear resampling process is proposed by utilizing the nonlinear sorting strategy,which can solve the problem of particle diversity impoverishment caused by traditional resampling methods. Experimental results based on videos containing objects with various abrupt motions have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

文摘Solid contamination existing as solid particles in power fluid transmission systems may lead to transmission performance reduction,system failures,and component damage.The hydraulic reservoir will deposit the contamination and store hydraulic fluid.To investigate its purification ability for solid contamination,experiments and simulations for the motion and deposition status of the typical hydraulic system particles are carried out to reveal the interaction of particles and fluid in hydraulic water reservoirs.The results show that the CFD-DEM coupling method could predict the accurate deposition position of iron particles and sand particles when ignoring the small-scale turbulence effect in the flow field.Besides,the particle motion traces and deposition patterns in the reservoir illustrate that the flow development on the bottom surface results in the particles turning,and particles tend to settle in the low flow energy position.The motion of particles is also linked to particles Stokes number,and the same-size sand particles are easily driven by the fluid.The contribution of this paper could provide a guide for predicting the particle motion and deposition pattern in the hydraulic reservoir.

文摘Seismometers of the InSight probe(Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigation,Geodesy and Heat Transport)currently operating on Mars have recorded not only seismic events but also high-frequency non-seismic periodic signals that appear to have been induced by variations in the Martian environment and the hardware.Here,we report an observation of a long-period signal with a dominant period of~20 s from Martian solar days(Sol)800 to Sol 1,000.This 20-s signal is detected mostly at quiet nighttime—from22:00 to 04:00 LMST(Local Mean Solar Time)—at the InSight landing site.The measurement of the particle motion suggests that this linearly polarized signal focuses on the horizontal plane with an angle of~30°from the north.By examining the temporal variation of the signal’s amplitude and polarization angle and its times of occurrence in relation to the planet’s atmospheric data,we suggest that this20-s signal may be relevant to wind and temperature variations on Mars.Furthermore,we study the possible influence of this 20-s signal on the noise autocorrelation and find that the stacked autocorrelograms can be quite different when the 20-s signal is present.
文摘A number of aftershocks of the May 10th 1997, Zirkuh (Ghaen-Birjand) destructive earthquake have been used to investigate the anisotropy in the upper crust by observing shear wave splitting. Particle motion diagram and aspect ratio methods were used as two different approaches to obtain splitting parameters. Clear shear wave splitting was observed on the records of the selected aftershocks, indicating that the media in the region was highly anisotropic. By using particle motion method, the direction of fast shear wave was found 22°N±19°E, while the delay time between the fast and slow shear waves was obtained to be (65±16) ms. By aspect ratio method, the direction of fast shear wave was determined to be 35°N±18°E and the delay time between fast and slow shear waves was found to be (49±10) ms. For a simple horizontal layer with a thickness about 5 km and uniformly distributed anisotropy, a stress aligned cracks model was used and the result was interpreted in terms of vertical aligned cracks in the direction of N22°E, having a density about 0.01. It is assumed that cracks are fluid-filled since they are located in the upper crust. Finally, by using Hudson cracks model for three crack densities 0.005, 0.01, 0.03, the velocity curves of shear wave were plotted as a function of angle between the symmetrical axis of cracks and the azimuth of source to receiver. It was concluded that when shear wave was polarized parallel to the crack surface, the velocity was uniform, but the velocity curve varied clearly if shear wave was polarized perpendicular to the crack surface.

文摘The effect of spacetime curvature on photon motion may offer an opportunity to propose new tests on gravity theories.In this study,we investigate and focus on the massless(photon)particle motion around blackbounce gravity.We analyze the horizon structure around a gravitational compact object described by black-bounce spacetime.The photon motion and the effect of gravitational weak lensing in vacuum and plasma are discussed,and the shadow radius of the compact object is also studied in black-bounce spacetime.Additionally,the magnification of the image is studied using the deflection angle of light rays.
文摘We applied the discrete element method (DEM) of simulation modified by an enlarged particle model to simulate bead motion in a large bead mill. The stainless-steel bead mill has inner diameter of 102 mm and mill length of 198 mm. The bead diameter and filling ratio were fixed respectively at 0.5 mm and 85%. The agitator rotational speed was changed from 1863 to 3261 rpm. The bead motion was monitored experimentally using a high-speed video camera through a transparent mill body. For the simulation, enlarged particle sizes were set as 3-6 mm in diameter. With the DEM modified by the enlarged particle model, the motion of enlarged particles in a mill was simulated.The velocity data of the simulated enlarged particles were compared with those obtained in the experiment. The simulated velocity of the enlarged particles depends on the virtual frictional coefficient in the DEM model. The optimized value of the virtual frictional coefficient can be determined by considering the accumulated mean value. Results show that the velocity of the enlarged particles simulated increases with an increase in the optimum virtual frictional coefficient, but the simulated velocity agrees well with that determined experimentally by optimizing the virtual frictional coefficient in the simulation. The computing time in the simulation decreases with increased particle size.
文摘The elliptic motion of particle in the fields of the inhomogeneous plane wavs that are generated on a liquid thermoviscoelastic solid interface is studied.. Calculations show that the ellipticity of the motion of Particle is related to the incident angle that the homogeneous plane wave incidents upon the interface. The influeree of viscous properties of solid on the ellipticity of particle's motion is small and shows near the critical angles of longitudinal and transversal wavs. Under the incidence at Rayleigh angle, the change of the ellipticity of motion of the particle is periodic in the wake of its Rayleigh wavelength and its elliptic locus is couoter clockwise and clockwise rotation periodically.
