Nonlinear mixing-based terahertz emission in inclined rippled density plasmas

We propose to investigate the THz field generation using nonlinear mixing mechanism of laser beat wave with inclined rippled density plasmas.Two laser pulses with frequencies(ω_(1),ω_(2)) and wave vectors(k_(1),k_(2)) co-propagate and resultant laser beat wave forms at beat frequency(ω_(1)-ω_(2)).Laser beat wave imparts a nonlinear force on the ambient electrons and pushes them outward with nonlinear velocity v_(NL).Coupling of induced density perturbation and nonlinear velocity v_(NL)generates nonlinear currents at laser beat frequency that further generates electromagnetic field E_((ω_(1)-ω_(2))) in terahertz(THz)range.In the present scheme,density ripples are introduced at an angle with respect to laser propagation and flat Gaussian index(f) is introduced in laser field profile that transform curved top of Gaussian field envelope into flat top field envelope.The combined effect of flat laser pulses with inclined density ripples in plasmas shows 10-fold enhancement in THz field amplitude when flat-Gaussian index(f) varies from 1 to 4.Also,the THz field intensifies when density ripples inclination increases upto a certain angle and then decreases.

An experimental investigation of the velocity field under cnoidal waves over the asymmetric rippled bed

The evolution of an initially flat sandy bed is studied in a laboratory wave flume under enoidal waves and acoustic Doppler velocimeter （ADV） was utilized in the detailed velocity measurements at different positions. The ripple formation and evolution have been analyzed by CCD images and the asymmetric rippled bed is induced by the nonlinear wave flow. The flow structure and a complete process of vortex formation, evolvement and disappearance were observed on the asymmetric rippled bed under cnoidal waves. With the increasing nonlinearity of waves, which is an important factor in the sand ripple formation, the vortex intensity becomes stronger and shows different characteristics on both sides of the ripple crest. The vorticity and wave velocity reach their maximum values at different phase angles. The vortex value reaches the maximum value at a small phase angle with the increasing Ursell number. The near bed flow patterns are mainly determined by the ripple forms and the averaged longitudinal velocity over a wave period above the ripple trough and crest are positive, which indicates the possibility of significant onshore sediment transport and a corresponding ripple drift. The phase averaged vertical velocity has noticeable positive values near the bottom of the ripple crest and trough. Sediments may be lifted from the ripple surface, picked up in suspension by the local velocity, and deposited over the crest and on the lee of the ripples.

A Numerical Study on the Structure and Dynamics of Turbulence in Oscillatory Bottom Layer Flow over A Flat or Rippled Bed

This paper is mainly concerned with the turbulence in oscillatory bottom boundary layers over flat or rippled seaheds. Owing to the strong shear and anisotmpy of oscillatory flow, an anisotropic turbulence mathematical model is set up using the finite difference method, and the computational results of the model are verified by comparisons with wellknown experiments. Turbulent energy, dissipation and Reynolds stress can all be computed with this mathematical model, and the development processes of a large coherent vortex structure over a rippled bed, such as main flow separation, coherent vortex formation and curling, coherent vortex ejection and breaking up, are successfully simulated.

Numerical study of alpha particle loss with toroidal field ripple based on CFETR steady-state scenario

Effects of plasma equilibrium parameters on the alpha particle loss with the toroidal field ripple based on the CFETR steady-state scenario have been numerically investigated by the orbit-following code GYCAVA. It is found that alpha particle losses decrease and loss regions become narrower with the plasma current increasing or with the magnetic field decreasing. It is because the ripple stochastic transport and the ripple well loss of alpha particle are reduced with the safety factor decreasing. Decrease of the plasma density and temperature can reduce alpha particle losses due to enhancement of the slowing-down effect. The direction of the toroidal magnetic field can significantly affect heat loads induced by lost alpha particle. The vertical asymmetry of heat loads induced by the clockwise and counter-clockwise toroidal magnetic fields are due to the fact that the ripple distribution is asymmetric about the mid-plane, which can be explained by the typical orbits of alpha particle. The maximal heat load of alpha particle for the clockwise toroidal magnetic field is much smaller than that for the counter-clockwise one.

Airgap-harmonic-oriented Partitioned Design Method of PMV Motor with Improved Torque Performances

Here,we introduce a partitioned design method that is oriented toward airgap harmonic for permanent magnet vernier(PMV)motors.The method proposes the utilization of airgap flux harmonics as an effective bridge between the torque design region and the torque performances.To illustrate the efficacy of this method,a partitioned design PMV motor is presented and compared with the initial design.Firstly,the torque design region of the rotor is artfully divided into the torque enhancement region and ripple reduction region.Meanwhile,the main harmonics that generate output torque are chosen and enhanced,optimization.Moreover,the harmonics that generate torque ripple are selected and reduced based on torque harmonics optimization.Finally,the functions of the partitioned PMV motor torque are assessed based on the finite element method.By the purposeful design of these two regions,the output torque is strengthened while torque ripple is inhibited effectively,verifying the effectiveness and reasonability of the proposed design method.

A study on the stability of laminar open-channel flow over a sandy rippled bed

The bed of a river often features some kinds of bedform, such as sand ripples, dunes, and so on. Even if the bed is smooth initially, disturbances arising from the bed or other external sources will cause the laminar flow in an open channel to become unstable as soon as the flow develops, thereby leading to the formation of sand ripples on the bed. In return, the formation of the sand ripples will modify the instability path of the laminar flow passing over them. The wavy character of the bed will induce further instability of the flow, which is essentially different from that on a smooth bed: the neutral curve will move forward and the critical Reynolds number will decrease. The flow is unstable in response to a wider range of the disturbance wave number, or the laminar flow instability can happen more easily. The propagation speed of the sand ripples also affects the flow instability, since the stability of open channel flow over a movable bed is fundamentally different from that on a rigid bed. These instability effects are discussed in detail in this paper.

Fuzzy Based Interleaved Step-up Converter for Electric Vehicle

This work focuses on the fuzzy controller for the proposed three-phase interleaved Step-up converter(ISC).The fuzzy controller for the proposed ISC converters for electric vehicles has been discussed in detail.The proposed ISC direct current(DC-DC)converter could also be used in automobiles,satellites,industries,and propulsion.To enhance voltage gain,the proposed ISC Converter combines boost converter and interleaved converter(IC).This design also reduces the number of switches.As a result,ISC converter switching losses are reduced.The proposed ISC Converter topology can produce a 143 V output voltage and 1 kW of power.Due to the high voltage gain of this converter design,it is suitable for medium and high-power systems.The proposed ISC Converter topology is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink.The simulated output displays a high output voltage.But the output voltage contains maximum ripples.Fuzzy proposes an ISC Converter which makes closed loop responsiveness and reduces the output voltage ripple.The proposed ISC converter has the lowest ripple output voltage,which is less than 2%,because the duty cycle is regulated using the fuzzy logic controller.It offers high voltage gain,minimal ripple,and low switching loss.The performance of the proposed converter is compared to that of the fuzzy and Pro-portional Integral(PI)controllers implemented in MATLAB.

High Linear Voltage Gain in QZNC Through Synchronizing Switching Circuits

The solar powered systems require high step-up converter for efficient energy transfer.For this,quasi-impedance network converter has been introduced.The quasi-impedance network converter(QZNC)is of two types:type-1 and type-2 configuration.Both the type-1 and type-2 QZNC configurations have drooping voltage gain profile due to presence of high switching noise.To overcome this,a new quasi-impedance network converter synchronizing the switching circuit with low frequency noise has been proposed.In this paper,the proposed QZNC con-figuration utilizes the current controlling diode to prevent the output voltage drop.Thus,the suggested topology provides linear high voltage gain profile,low load voltage ripple,and reduced impedance network stress and device stress.There-fore,the efficiency of proposed QZNC has been improved.The topology descrip-tion,working principle,parameter design and comparison with traditional converters are illustrated.Andfinally,both simulation and practical results are presented to confirm the converter characteristics and performance.From the results,it has been found that the performance of the suggested topology is better as it achieves a higher efficiency of 81%and hence,it is suitable for high power applications.

Permanent Magnet Axial Section Shaping Optimization Surface-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

In this paper, a new type of harmonic injection permanent magnet shape optimization method is proposed to suppress the torque ripple of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor. The sinusoidal waveform shaping of the axial section of the permanent magnet is added with the third harmonic shaping, and the sine wave and the third harmonic are derived. The optimal ratio is 6:1. The permanent magnet no shaping, sinusoidal shaping and sinusoidal combined third harmonic shaping are compared. The results show that the sinusoidal combined third harmonic shaping design can effectively suppress the torque ripple of the surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor and obtain a relatively large output torque. At the same time, a method of using permanent magnet segmentation to approximately equivalently replace sine combined with third harmonic shaping design is proposed, which effectively saves the manufacturing cost of permanent magnets and provides design and research ideas for more economical and effective optimization of surface-mounted permanent magnet motors.

An Improved DITC Control Method Based on Turn-on Angle Optimization

Switched reluctance motor(SRM)usually adopts Direct Instantaneous Torque Control(DITC)to suppress torque ripple.However,due to the fixed turn-on angle and the control mode of the two-phase exchange region,the conventional DITC control method has low adaptability in different working conditions,which will lead to large torque ripple.For this problem,an improved DITC control method based on turn-on angle optimization is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the improved BP neural network is used to construct a nonlinear torque model,so that the torque can be accurately fed back in real time.Secondly,the turn-on angle optimization algorithm based on improved GRNN neural network is established,so that the turn-on angle can be adjusted adaptively online.Then,according to the magnitude of inductance change rate,the two-phase exchange region is divided into two regions,and the phase with larger inductance change rate and current is selected to provide torque in the sub-regions.Finally,taking a 3-phase 6/20 SRM as example,simulation and experimental verification are carried out to verify the effectiveness of this method.

DC-Link Capacitor Optimization in AC–DC Converter by Load Current Prediction

Alternating Current–Direct Current(AC–DC)converters require a high value bulk capacitor or afilter capacitor between the DC–DC conversion stages,which in turn causes many problems in the design of a AC–DC converter.The component package size for this capacitor is large due to its high voltage rating and capacitance value.In addition,the high charging current creates more pro-blems during the product compliance testing phase.The shelf life of these specific high value capacitors is less than that of Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors(MLCC),which limits its use for the highly reliable applications.This paper presents a fea-sibility study to overcome these two problems by adding a few sensing mechan-isms to the typical AC–DC converter topology.In majority of the AC–DC converter,Al-Elko capacitor takes approximately 3%to 5%of the converter size.The proposed method reduces this to approximately 50%size and so it effectively approximates 2%to 3%size reduction in converter size.The proposed method basically works based on the load current prediction method and hence it is highly suitable for the constant load application.Moreover,the converter response time increases in this method,which limit its application in high-speed systems.The high temperature application of Al-Elko capacitor is limited because of its poor performance,which is significantly rectified by replacing the Al-Elko with MLCC as it delivers good performance in high temperature.

An Analytic Method of Segmented PWM Duty Cycle for Switched Reluctance Motor

In view of the large current peak and torque ripple in the actual current chopping control of switched reluctance motor,a segmented PWM duty cycle analysis method of switched reluctance motor based on current chopping control is proposed in this paper.The method realizes the control of the winding current by adjusting the average voltage of the two ends of the winding in one cycle through the PWM duty cycle.At the same time,according to the inductance linear model,the conduction phase is divided into a small inductance region and an inductance rising region,and the analytical formulas of PWM duty cycle in the two regions are deduced respectively.Finally,through matlab/simulink simulation and motor platform experiment,the current chopping control is compared with the segmented PWM duty cycle analysis method in this paper.Simulation and experimental results show that the segmented PWM duty cycle analysis method can effectively reduce the current peak and torque ripple,and has high practical application value.

Reduction of Unipolar Leakage Flux and Torque Ripple in Consequent-pole PM Vernier Machine

This paper proposes a new consequent-pole permanent magnet vernier machine(CPMVM),which can be regarded as a combination of two conventional CPMVM with opposite polarities.Based on the simplified axial magnetic circuit model,it is verified that the proposed CPMVM can reduce the unipolar leakage flux.In order to reduce the torque ripple of machine and improve the output torque of machine,the flux barrier is placed on the rotor of the proposed machine.Then,the parameters of the proposed CPMVM are optimized and determined.Moreover,the electromagnetic performance,including no-load air-gap flux density,average torque and torque ripple,flux linkage,back-electromotive force,cogging torque,average torque,torque ripple,power factor and loss,is compared with conventional surface-mounted permanent magnet vernier machine(SPMVM)and CPMVM.Finally,it is demonstrated that proposed CPMVM with flux barrier can effectively reduce the unipolar leakage flux and greatly reduce the torque ripple of machine.Also,compared with the SPMVM,the proposed CPMVM with flux barrier saves more than 45%of the permanent magnet material without reducing output torque.

Permanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Asymmetric Rotor for High Torque Performance

Permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor(PMA-SynRM)is a kind of high torque density energy conversion device widely used in modern industry.In this paper,based on the basic topology of PMA-SynRM,a novel PMA-SynRM of asymmetric rotor with position-biased magnet is proposed.The asymmetric rotor design with position-biased magnet realizes the concentration of magnetic field lines in the motor air gap to obtain higher electromagnetic torque,and makes both of magnetic and reluctance torque obtain the peak value at the same current phase angle.The asymmetric rotor configuration is theoretically illustrated by space vector diagram,and the feasibility of high torque performance of the motor is verified.Through the finite element simulation,the effect of the side barrier on output torque and the Mises stress under the rotor asymmetrical design are analyzed.Then the motor characteristics including airgap flux density,back EMF,magnetic torque,reluctance torque,torque ripple,losses,and efficiency are calculated for both the basic and proposed PMA-SynRMs.The results show that the proposed PMA-SynRM has higher torque and efficiency than the basic topology.Moreover,the torque ripple of the proposed PMA-SynRM is reduced by the method with harmonic current injection,and the torque characteristics in the whole current cycle are analyzed.Finally,the endurance to avoid PM demagnetization is confirmed based on the PM remanence calculation.

Integrated Sliding Mode Velocity Control of Linear Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor with Thrust Ripple Compensation

In this paper,a compound sliding mode velocity control scheme with a new exponential reaching law(NERL)with thrust ripple observation strategy is proposed to obtain a high performance velocity loop of the linear permanent magnet synchronous motor(LPMSM)control system.A sliding mode velocity controller based on NERL is firstly discussed to restrain chattering of the conventional exponential reaching law(CERL).Furthermore,the unavoidable thrust ripple caused by the special structure of linear motor will bring about velocity fluctuation and reduced control performance.Thus,a thrust ripple compensation strategy on the basis of extend Kalman filter(EKF)theory is proposed.The estimated thrust ripple will be introduced into the sliding mode velocity controller to optimize the control accuracy and robustness.The effectiveness of the proposal is validated with experimental results.

Design of Digital Linear Power Supply with Low Current Ripple

A linear power supply is a circuit architecture directly driven by AC. Multiple high-voltage LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are connected in series to withstand the input voltage. The LEDs are divided into multiple segments through a segment switching mechanism to adapt to the pulsating DC changes after bridge rectification. Due to imperfect switching between control signals, there may be signal overlap or misalignment, which reduces circuit performance and component lifespan. Firstly, signal overlap occurs when the next segment opens before the previous segment is about to close. This state causes overlapping intervals where two segments of current combine, resulting in a high combined current that can lead to significant power losses and generate heat, potentially reducing the lifespan of the components. Secondly, signal misalignment occurs when the next segment prepares to open after the previous segment has completely closed. In this state, there is a time gap with no current flow, resulting in reduced output power and exacerbating LED flickering. Both of these undesirable phenomena introduce ripple into the LED output current. In this paper, a digitalized design is proposed to precisely compensate for the timing between alternating signals, significantly reducing output current ripple. This approach helps enhance power supply performance, extend component lifespan, and reduce LED index flicker.
