Trends in the band-gap pressure coefficients and bulk moduli in different structures of ZnGa_2S_4,ZnGa-2Se_4 and ZnGa-2Te_4

We have performed a first-principles investigation for the family of compounds ZnGa2X4 （X = S, Se, Te）. The properties of two possible structures, defect chalcopyrite and defect famatinite are both calculated. We reveal that ZnGa2S4 and ZnGa2Se4 have direct band gaps, while ZnGa2Te4 has an indirect band gap. The local density approximation band gaps are found to be very different in two structures, while the lattice parameters and bulk moduli are similar. We extend Cohen＇s empirical formula for zinc-blende compounds to this family of compounds. The pressure coefficients are calculated and metallization pressures are discussed. We find that agi remains fairly constant when thegroup-V/element X is varied in ZnGa2X4（Ⅱ-Ⅲ2-Ⅵ4）.

Minimum wall pressure coefficient of orifice plate energy dissipater

Orifice plate energy dissipaters have been successfully used in large-scale hydropower projects due to their simple structure, convenient construction procedure, and high energy dissipation ratio. The minimum wall pressure coefficient of an orifice plate can indirectly reflect its cavitation characteristics： the lower the minimum wall pressure coefficient is, the better the ability of the orifice plate to resist cavitation damage is. Thus, it is important to study the minimum wall pressure coefficient of the orifice plate. In this study, this coefficient and related parameters, such as the contraction ratio, defined as the ratio of the orifice plate diameter to the flood-discharging tunnel diameter; the relative thickness, defined as the ratio of the orifice plate thickness to the tunnel diameter; and the Reynolds number of the flow through the orifice plate, were theoretically analyzed, and their relationships were obtained through physical model experiments. It can be concluded that the minimum wall pressure coefficient is mainly dominated by the contraction ratio and relative thickness. The lower the contraction ratio and relative thickness are, the larger the minimum wall pressure coefficient is. The effects of the Reynolds number on the minimum wall pressure coefficient can be neglected when it is larger than 10^5. An emoirical expression was presented to calculate the minimum wall oressure coefficient in this study.

Study on Pressure Coefficient Distribution of the Airship Zhiyuan-1

A wind tunnel tests with different configurations,pitch and yaw angles were performed to study the wind load characteristics of the rigid model of the airship Zhiyuan-1. The rigid model was aimed to simulate a technical demonstrating stratospheric airship named Zhiyuan-1 according to the similarity principle of geometric and Reynolds number. Based on the results of wind tunnel test,the features of pressure coefficient distributions on the surface of the airship were described. It was indicated that the fins and the gondola of airship hardly have the effect on the pressure distribution on the surface of airship,but have obviously effect on the local areas near the fins and the gondola.

Influence of Polar Pressure Transmission Medium on the Pressure Coefficient of Excitonic Interband Transitions in Monolayer WSe_2

The influence of the pressure transmission medium（PTM）on the excitonic interband transitions in monolayer tungsten diselenide（WSe2）is investigated using photoluminescence（PL）spectra under hydrostatic pressure up to 5GPa.Three kinds of PTMs,condensed argon（Ar）,1：1 n-pentane and isopentane mixture（PM）,and4：1 methanol and ethanol mixture（MEM,a PTM with polarity）,are used.It is found that when either Ar or PM is used as the PTM,the PL peak of exciton related to the direct K-K interband transition shows a pressure-induced blue-shift at a rate of 32±4 or 32±1 meV/GPa,while it turns to be 50±9meV/GPa when MEM is used as the PTM.The indirect A-K interband transition presents almost no shift with increasing pressure up to approximatel.y 5 GPa when Ar and PM are used as the PTM,while it shows a red-shift at the rate of-17±7meV/GPa by using MEM as the PTM.These results reveal that the optical interband transitions of monolayer WSe2 are very sensitive to the polarity of the PTM.The anomalous pressure coefficient obtained using the polar PTM of MEM is ascribed to the existence of hydrogen-like bonds between hydroxyl in MEM and Se atoms under hydrostatic pressure.

A cloud-based platform to predict wind pressure coefficients on buildings

Natural ventilation(NV)is a key passive strategy to design energy-efficient buildings and improve indoor air quality.Therefore,accurate modeling of the NV effects is a basic requirement to include this technique during the building design process.However,there is an important lack of wind pressure coefficients(CP)data,essential input parameters for NV models.Besides this,there are no simple but still reliable tools to predict CP data on buildings with arbitrary shapes and surrounding conditions,which means a significant limitation to NV modeling in real applications.For this reason,the present contribution proposes a novel cloud-based platform to predict wind pressure coefficients on buildings.The platform comprises a set of tools for performing fully unattended computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer and getting reliable CP data for actual scenarios.CFD-expert decisions throughout the entire workflow are implemented to automatize the generation of the computational domain,the meshing procedure the solution stage,and the post-processing of the results.To evaluate the performance of the platform,an exhaustive validation against wind tunnel experimental data is carried out for a wide range of case studies.These include buildings with openings,balconies,irregular floor-plans,and surrounding urban environments.The C_(P) results are in close agreement with experimental data,reducing 60%-77% the prediction error on the openings regarding the EnergyPlus software.The platform introduced shows being a reliable and practical C_(P) data source for NV modeling in real building design scenarios.

Streamlined CFD simulation framework to generate wind-pressure coefficients on building facades for airflow network simulations

Building energy modeling software generally comes with capable airflow network solvers for natural ventilation evaluation in multi-zone building energy models. These approaches rely on arrays of pressure coefficients representing different wind directions derived from simple box-shaped buildings without contextual obstructions. For urban or obstructed sites, or more complex building shapes, however, further evaluation is needed to avoid geometric oversimplification. In this study, we present an automated and easy-to-use simulation workflow for OpenFOAM-based exterior airflow simulations to generate arrays of pressure coefficients for arbitrary building shapes and contextual situations. The workflow is compared to other methods commonly used to obtain pressure coefficients for natural ventilation analysis. Finally, we assess for which climate zones and building types modelers should rely on more accurate CFD-based pressure coefficients and where it may be justifiable to rely on easier and readily available analytical approaches to determine pressure coefficients. Results suggest that existing workflows lead to significant error in predicted comfort hours for climates in the Global South and modelers should consider CFD-based facade pressure coeficients.

Wind tunnel test study on the wind pressure coefficient of claddings of high-rise buildings

The area-averaged most unfavorable wind pressure coefficients(MUWPCs)on various regions of building surfaces and the influence of the side ratio and the terrain category were studied based on wind tunnel test data of scale models of typical high-rise buildings with rectangular cross-sections.The negative area-averaged MUWPCs in the middle-height edge areas generally increased with an increasing D/B side ratio.The areaaveraged MUWPCs can be well fitted with a function of the average area reduced by the square of the building depth,D^(2).In addition,no unique pattern was found for the effect of the terrain category on the MUWPCs.

STUDIES ON PROPERTIES OF FLOW CAVITATION NUMBER AND MINIMUM PRESSURE COEFFICIENT IN SHORT CLOSED CONDUITS

For a short closed conduit with smooth (streamline pattern) boundary, the comparison of minimum pressure coefficient at boundary, - Cpm , which obtained from model tests, with flow cavitation number a is possible to describe the property of preventing cavitation in the closed conduit.In this paper, analytical results show that the ratio σ/ - Cpm decreases with increasing Reynolds number Re, when the configuration of the conduit is designed, and this ratio approaches a constant when Re = 106 or so. The model test data for five engineering cases of the short closed conduit with various configuration indicates that the analytical results are reliable. Therefore, the value of the ratio σ/ - Cpm corresponding to that of Reynolds number in model (Re)m ≥106 must be taken so as to correctly describe the cavitation property of the studied conduit. The condition of Lr ≥ 10-4[(Re)p]2/3 should be satisfied ( Lr is model length scale; (Re)p is Reynolds number in prototype) when the model is designed by Froude criterion of similarity.

Rock physics model for velocity–pressure relations and its application to shale pore pressure estimation

Acoustic wave velocity has been commonly utilized to predict subsurface geopressure using empirical relations.Acoustic wave velocity is, however, affected by many factors. To estimate pore pressure accurately, we here propose to use elastic rock physics models to understand and analyze quantitatively the various contributions from these different factors affecting wave velocity. We report a closed-form relationship between the frame flexibility factor(γ) in a rock physics model and differential pressure, which presents the major control of pressure on elastic properties such as bulk modulus and compressional wave velocity. For a gas-bearing shale with abundant micro-cracks and fractures, its bulk modulus is much lower at abnormally high pore pressure(high γ values) where thin cracks and flat pores are open than that at normal hydrostatic pressure(low γ values) where pores are more rounded on average. The developed relations between bulk modulus and differential pressure have been successfully applied to the Upper Ordovician Wufeng and Lower Silurian Longmaxi formations in the Dingshan area of the Sichuan Basin to map the three-dimensional spatial distribution of pore pressure in the shale, integrating core, log and seismic data. The estimated results agree well with field measurements. Pressure coefficient is positively correlated to gas content. The relations and methods reported here could be useful for hydrocarbon exploration, production, and drilling safety in both unconventional and conventional fields.

The effective pressure law for permeability of clay-rich sandstones

To study the relative sensitivity of permeability to pore pressure Pp and confining pressure Pc for clay-rich rocks, permeability measurements were performed on samples of four clay-rich sandstones. A new method （hereafter denoted the ＂slide method＂） was developed and used for analyzing the permeability data obtained. The effective pressure coefficients for permeability nk were calculated. The values of nk were found to be greater than 1.0 and insensitive to changes in pressure. These results confirmed observations previously made on clay-rich rocks. Also, the coefficients nk obtained had different characteristics for different samples because of differences in the types of clay they contained. The effective pressure law （σeff=Pc-nkPp） determined using the slide method gave better results about k（oefr） than classic Terzaghi＇s law （σeff=Pc-nkPp）.

Research on Pore Pressure-Depth Characteristics in Normal Pressure Reservoir, Bohai Sea Oilfield

In normal pressure of reservoir, formation pressure and depth can not fully reflect the linear relationship between the formation pressure with depth, the change rule of reservoir measured formation pressure and often reduced pressure, understanding unclear cause fluid properties. By introducing basic principles of hydrostatics. The relationship between pressure coefficient and mathematical depth is discussed by mathematical induction analysis of measured pressure data of nearly 50 normal pressure reservoirs in Bohai Oilfield. The results show that the reservoir pressure data is linearly distributed with depth, and the pressure coefficient is inversely proportional to depth. When the depth becomes shallower, the pressure coefficient increases and approaches the reservoir level. As the depth increases, the pressure coefficient decreases and approaches the hydrostatic pressure coefficient infinitely. The study can more accurately analyze the reservoir pressure changes, which is helpful to study the oil and water distribution, reservoir connectivity and fluid properties of atmospheric pressure reservoirs.

Modified Pressure Loss Model for T-junctions of Engine Exhaust Manifold

The T-junction model of engine exhaust manifolds significantly influences the simulation precision of the pressure wave and mass flow rate in the intake and exhaust manifolds of diesel engines. Current studies have focused on constant pressure models, constant static pressure models and pressure loss models. However, low model precision is a common disadvantage when simulating engine exhaust manifolds, particularly for turbocharged systems. To study the performance of junction flow, a cold wind tunnel experiment with high velocities at the junction of a diesel exhaust manifold is performed, and the variation in the pressure loss in the T-junction under different flow conditions is obtained. Despite the trend of the calculated total pressure loss coefficient, which is obtained by using the original pressure loss model and is the same as that obtained from the experimental results, large differences exist between the calculated and experimental values. Furthermore, the deviation becomes larger as the flow velocity increases. By improving the Vazsonyi formula considering the flow velocity and introducing the distribution function, a modified pressure loss model is established, which is suitable for a higher velocity range. Then, the new model is adopted to solve one-dimensional, unsteady flow in a D6114 turbocharged diesel engine. The calculated values are compared with the measured data, and the result shows that the simulation accuracy of the pressure wave before the turbine is improved by 4.3% with the modified pressure loss model because gas compressibility is considered when the flow velocities are high. The research results provide valuable information for further junction flow research, particularly the correction of the boundary condition in one-dimensional simulation models.

Dynamic responses and failure mechanisms of the existing tunnel under transient excavation unloading of an adjacent tunnel

Engineering disasters(e.g.rock slabbing and rockburst)of the tunnel groups induced by the transient excavation of an adjacent tunnel threaten the stability of the existing tunnel,especially for those excavated by using the drill and blast tunneling(D&B).However,the dynamic response and failure mechanism of surrounding rocks of the existing tunnel caused by adjacent transient excavation are not clear due to the difficulty in conducting field tests and laboratory experiments.Therefore,a novel transient unloading experimental system for deep tunnel excavation was proposed in this study.The real stress path and the unloading rate can be reproduced by using this proposed system.The experiments were conducted for observing the dynamic response of the existing tunnel induced by adjacent transient excavation under different lateral pressure coefficients l(?0.4,0.6,0.8,1,1.2,1.4,1.6,1.8)with a polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)specimen.The propagation of the impact wave and unloading surface wave was detected through the digital image correlation(DIC)analysis.The reflection of the unloading surface wave on the incident side of the existing tunnel(tunnel-E)was observed and analyzed.Moreover,the dynamic characteristics of the stress redistribution,the particle displacement and vibration velocity of surrounding rocks of tunnel-E were analyzed and summarized.In addition,the Mohr-Coulomb(MeC)failure criterion with tension cut-off was adopted to evaluate the stability of the existing tunnel under adjacent transient excavation.The results indicate that the incident side of the existing tunnel under the dynamic disturbance of transient excavation of an adjacent tunnel was more prone to fail,followed by the shadow side and the top/bottom side.

涡轮叶栅叶尖间隙流实验研究(英文)

This article describes the effects of some factors on the tip clearance flow in axial linear turbine cascades. The measurements of the total pressure loss coefficient are made at the cascade outlets by using a five-hole probe at exit Mach numbers of 0.10, 0.14 and 0.19. At each exit Mach number, experiments are performed at the tip clearance heights of 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5% and 3.0% of the blade height. The effects of the non-uniform tip clearance height of each blade in the pitchwise direction are also studied. The results show that at a given tip clearance height, generally, total pressure loss rises with exit Mach numbers proportionally. At a fixed exit Mach number, the total pressure loss augments nearly proportionally as the tip clearance height increases. The increased tip clearance heights in the tip regions of two adjacent blades are to be blame for the larger clearance loss of the center blade. Compared to the effects of the tip clearance height, the effects of the exit Mach number and the pitchwise variation of the tip clearance height on the cascade total pressure loss are so less significant to be omitted.

A Numerical Study of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a High-Speed Train under the Effect of Crosswind and Rain

The performances of high-speed trains in the presence of coupling effects with crosswind and rain have attracted great attention in recent years.The objective of the present paper was to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a high-speed train under such conditions in the framework of an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach.An aerodynamic model of a high-speed train was first set up,and the side force coefficient obtained from numerical simulation was compared with that provided by wind tunnel experiments to verify the accuracy of the approach.Then,the effects of the yaw angle,the resultant wind speed,and the rainfall rate on aerodynamic coefficients were analyzed.The results indicate that the aerodynamic coefficients grow almost linearly with the rainfall rate,and increase with a decrease in the resultant wind speed.Due to the impact of raindrops on the train surface and the airflow,the pressure coefficients of windward and leeward side of the train become larger with the increase of the rainfall rate.Raindrops can accelerate the airflow and suppress the vortices detachment.Moreover,the flow velocity in regions surrounding the train increases with an increase in the rainfall rate.

平面埋入式进气道的数值仿真研究与试验验证(英文)

In order to get a deep insight of a submerged inlet on the plane surface, the integrated flow field of the inlet and fuselage has been numerically studied. The investigation is mainly focused on the formation of the total pressure distribution at the exit of the inlet, the structure of the inner flow and the effects of the boundary layer along the fuselage on the performance of the inlet. Moreover, in comparison with the experimental data at different angles of attack, yaws and mass flow ratios, the reliabilities of the computational fluid dynamics（CFD） studied are verified. Results indicate： （1） the CFD results agree well with the experiment results and the relative errors of the total pressure coefficient is less than 1% ; （2） at the inlet＇s exit, the contour of total pressure obtained by CFD is similar to the experiment result except the contour in the low total pressure zone in CFD is slightly larger; （3） the secondary flow at the cross section behave as two counter-rotating vortices. Along the flow direction, the fields influenced by the vortex pair transport downstream and expand to the whole section at the exit; （4） the total pressure loss at the exit of the submerged inlet can be divided into external loss and internal loss. Usually, the external loss is greater than the internal loss, and both decrease with the augment of the Mach number at the exit. In addition, when the angle of attack ranges from -2° to 8°, the total pressure coefficient ascends gradually, due to the reduction of the external loss caused by the less boundary layer flow captured and the invisible change of the internal loss.

Structural optimization strategy of pipe isolation tool by dynamic plugging process analysis

During the pipeline plugging process,both the pipeline and the pipe isolation tool(PIT)will be greatly damaged,due to the violent vibration of the flow field.In this study,it was proposed for the first time to reduce the vibration of the flow field during the plugging process by optimizing the surface structure of the PIT.Firstly,the central composite design(CCD)was used to obtain the optimization schemes,and the drag coefficient and pressure coefficient were proposed to evaluate the degree of flow field changes.Secondly,a series of computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulations were performed to obtain the drag coefficient and pressure coefficient during dynamic plugging.And the mathematical model of drag coefficient and pressure coefficient with the surface structure of the PIT were established respectively.Then,a modified particle swarm optimization(PSO)was applied to predict the optimal value of the surface structure of the PIT.Finally,an experimental rig was built to verify the effectiveness of the optimization.The results showed that the improved method could reduce the flow field vibration by 49.56%.This study provides a reference for the design of the PIT surface structure for flow field vibration technology.

Analysis of One-Dimensional Compression under a Wide Range of Stress with Densely Arrayed BPM

In this paper,the densely arrayed bonded particle model is proposed for simulation of granular materials with discrete element method(DEM)considering particle crushing.This model can solve the problem of pore calculation after the grains are crushed,and reduce the producing time of specimen.In this work,several one-dimensional compressing simulations are carried out to investigate the effect of particle crushing on mechanical properties of granular materials under a wide range of stress.The results show that the crushing process of granular materials can be divided into four different stages according to er-logσy curves.At the end of the second stage,there exists a yield point,after which the physical and mechanical properties of specimens will change significantly.Under extremely high stress,particle crushing will wipe some initial information of specimens,and specimens with different initial gradings and void ratios present some similar characteristics.Particle crushing has great influence on grading,lateral pressure coefficient and compressibility of granular materials,and introduce extra irreversible volume deformation,which is necessary to be considered in modelling of granular materials in wide stress range.

Acoustic Prediction and Risk Evaluation of Shallow Gas in Deep-Water Areas

Shallow gas is a potential risk in deep-water drilling that must not be ignored,as it may cause major safety problems,such as well kicks and blowouts.Thus,the pre-drilling prediction of shallow gas is important.For this reason,this paper conducted deep-water shallow gas acoustic simulation experiments based on the characteristics of deep-water shallow soil properties and the theory of sound wave speed propagation.The results indicate that the propagation speed of sound waves in shallow gas increases with an in-crease in pressure and decreases with increasing porosity.Pressure and sound wave speed are basically functions of the power expo-nent.Combined with the theory of sound wave propagation in a saturated medium,this paper establishes a multivariate functional relationship between sound wave speed and formation pressure and porosity.The numerical simulation method is adopted to simulate shal-low gas eruptions under different pressure conditions.Shallow gas pressure coefficients that fall within the ranges of 1.0-1.1,1.1-1.2,and exceeding 1.2 are defined as low-,medium-,and high-risk,respectively,based on actual operations.This risk assessment me-thod has been successfully applied to more than 20 deep-water wells in the South China Sea,with a prediction accuracy of over 90%.

Key geological factors controlling the estimated ultimate recovery of shale oil and gas: A case study of the Eagle Ford shale, Gulf Coast Basin, USA

Based on 991 groups of analysis data of shale samples from the Lower Member of the Cretaceous Eagle Ford Formation of 1317 production wells and 72 systematic coring wells in the U.S. Gulf Basin, the estimated ultimate recovery(EUR) of shale oil and gas of the wells are predicted by using two classical EUR estimation models, and the average values predicted excluding the effect of engineering factors are taken as the final EUR. Key geological factors controlling EUR of shale oil and gas are fully investigated. The reservoir capacity, resources, flow capacity and fracability are the four key geological parameters controlling EUR. The storage capacity of shale oil and gas is directly controlled by total porosity and hydrocarbon-bearing porosity, and indirectly controlled by total organic carbon(TOC) and vitrinite reflectance(Ro). The resources of shale oil and gas are controlled by hydrocarbon-bearing porosity and effective shale thickness etc. The flow capacity of shale oil and gas is controlled by effective permeability, crude oil density, gas-oil ratio, condensate oil-gas ratio, formation pressure gradient, and Ro. The fracability of shale is directly controlled by brittleness index, and indirectly controlled by clay content in volume. EUR of shale oil and gas is controlled by six geological parameters: it is positively correlated with effective shale thickness, TOC and fracture porosity, negatively correlated with clay content in volume, and increases firstly and then decreases with the rise of Ro and formation pressure gradient. Under the present upper limit of horizontal well fracturing effective thickness of 65 m and the lower limit of EUR of 3×10^(4) m^(3), when TOC<2.3%, or Ro<0.85%, or clay content in volume larger than 25%, and fractures and micro-fractures aren’t developed, favorable areas of shale oil and gas hardly occur.
