It reduces the information requirement of inputted sky diffuse radiation, as well as of canopy morphology, and in turn saves computer resources. Results from the SGRTM agree perfectly with those of the GRTM. Secondly, by applying the linear superposition principle of the optics and by using the basic solutions of the GRTM for radiative transfer within the canopy under the condition of assumed zero soil reflectance, two sets of explicit analytical solutions of radiative transfer within the canopy with any soil reflectance magnitude are derived: one for incident diffuse, and the other for direct beam radiation. The explicit analytical solutions need two sets of basic solutions of canopy reflectance and transmittance under zero soil reflectance, run by the model for both diffuse and direct beam radiation. One set of basic solutions is the canopy reflectance αf (written as α1 for direct beam radiation) and transmittance βf (written as β1 for direction beam radiation) with zero soil reflectance for the downward radiation from above the canopy (i.e. sky), and the other set is the canopy reflectance (αb) and transmittance βb for the upward radiation from below the canopy (i.e., ground). Under the condition of the same plant architecture in the vertical layers, and the same leaf adaxial and abaxial optical properties in the canopies for the uniform diffuse radiation, the explicit solutions need only one set of basic solutions, because under this condition the two basic solutions are equal, i.e., αf = αb and βf = βb. Using the explicit analytical solutions, the fractions of any kind of incident solar radiation reflected from (defined as surface albedo, or canopy reflectance), transmitted through (defined as canopy transmittance), and absorbed by (defined as canopy absorptance) the canopy and other properties pertinent to the radiative transfer within the canopy can be estimated easily on the ground surface below the canopy (soil or snow surface) with any reflectance magnitudes. The simplified transfer model is proven to have a similar accuracy compared to the detailed model, as well as very efficient computing.展开更多

The response amplitude of each mode is determined by a balance between the energy fed into the riser over the lock-in regions and the energy dissipated by the fluid damping over the remainders. Compared with the previous prediction models, this method can take fully account of the intrinsic nature of VIV for low mass ratio structures on lock-in regions, added mass and nonlinear fluid damping effect, etc. Moreover, it is the first time to propose the accurate calculating procedure for VIV amplitude correction factor by solving energy equilibrium equation and a closed form solution is presented for the case of a riser of uniform mass and cross-section oscillating in a uniform flow. The predicted values show a reasonable agreement with VIV experiments of riser models in stepped and sheared currents.展开更多

The models must be solved by a numerical method with an iterative process, and the rate term of the phase change needs to be pre-estimated at the beginning in each iteration step. Since the rate term of the phase change in the energy equation is closely related to the release or absorption of the great amount of fusion heat, a small error in the rate term estimation will introduce greater error in the energy balance, which will amplify the error in the temperature calculation and in turn, cause problems for the numerical solution convergence. In this work, in order to first reduce the trouble, the methodology of the variable transformation is applied to a simplified frozen soil model used currently, which leads to new frozen soil scheme used in this work. In the new scheme, the enthalpy and the total water equivalent are used as predictive variables in the governing equations to replace temperature, volumetric soil moisture and ice content used in many current models. By doing so, the rate terms of the phase change are not shown explicitly in both the mass and energy equations and its pre-estimation is avoided. Secondly, in order to solve this new scheme more functionally, the development of the numerical scheme to the new scheme is described and a numerical algorithm appropriate to the numerical scheme is developed. In order to evaluate the new scheme of the frozen soil model and its relevant algorithm, a series of model evaluations are conducted by comparing numerical results from the new model scheme with three observational data sets. The comparisons show that the results from the model are in good agreement with these data sets in both the change trend of variables and their magnitude values, and the new scheme, together with the algorithm, is more efficient and saves more computer time.展开更多

The evaporation rate and mass variations with time during the breaking process are presented. Experiments are carried out to verify the simulation results.展开更多

Two different turbulent closure models have been used, including standard k-ε turbulent model and RNG k-ε turbulent model with or without source / sink terms,respectively,for the purpose of wind energy applications. In this study,the complicated morphology of3 D vegetation canopy is simplified to three types of 2D simplified canopy model analyzed by the main parameter leaf area index( LAI). Effects of branches and leaves on airflow are also modelled by introducing circles into the 2D simplified canopy model with or without source / sink terms by adding drag force terms in the momentum and turbulent energy equations in porous sub-domains.The main model parameters of source / sink terms are identified thanks to experimental data obtained by direct wind tunnel measurements of the air flow speeds through a branch of Osmanthus fragrans. Moreover,three different canopy shapes of the vegetation canopy are introduced into the simulation. The predictive skills of single-and two-equation( k-ε) models with or without source / sink to compute profiles of mean velocity( u),turbulent kinetic energy( TKE),TKE dissipation rate( ε) and turbulent intensity( I) are compared against datasets collected from other works and field measurements. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that vegetation canopy model 1 using RNG or standard k-ε turbulent model with source / sink terms proves to be a physically accurate and numerically robust method. The method which is better than other two vegetation canopy models is recommended for future use in simulating turbulent flows within and above the canopy in 3D in more details.展开更多

Yet how this force is generated is still controversial. Two current explanations to this are wake capture and Added Mass Effect (AME) mechanisms. To study the AME, we present an extended unsteady blade element model which takes both the added mass of fluid and rotational effect of the wing into account. Simulation results show a high force peak at the start of each stroke and are quite similar to the measured forces on the physical wing model. We found that although the Added Mass Force (AMF) of the medium contributes a lot to this force peak, the wake capture effect further augments this force and may play a more important role in delayed mode. Furthermore, we also found that there might be an unknown mechanism which may augment the AME during acceleration period at the start of each stroke, and diminish the AME during deceleration at the end of each stroke.展开更多

At large scale area there exists a big spatial scale difference between horizontal and vertical length scales. In the resultant model, the seepage region is particularly divided into several virtual layers along the z direction and vertical 1-D columns covering x-y 2-D area according to stratum properties. The numerical algorithm is replacing the full 3-D water and mass balance analysis as the 2-D Galerkin finite element method in x- and y-directions and 1-D finite differential approach in the z direction. The reasonable method of giving minimum thickness is successfully used to handle transient change of water table, drying cells and problem of rewetting. The solution of the simplified model is preconditioned conjugate gradient and ORTHOMIN method. The validity of the developed 3-D groundwater model is tested with the typical pumping and backwater scenarios. Results of water balance of the computed example reveal the model computation reliability. Based on a representative 3-D pollution case, the solute transport module is tested against computing results using the MT3DMS. The capability and high efficiency to predict non-stationary situations of free groundwater surface and solute plume in regional scale problem is quantitatively investigated. It is shown that the proposed model is computationally effective.展开更多

The result shows that the actuator not only effectively leads to a local rise in near-wall velocity, but also efficiently causes a decrease in the displacement thickness of the boundary layer. Actuator-induced vorticity is generated to intensify the energy exchange between the main flow and the boundary layer, and dynamic energy is thus added directly to the low-energy fluid by the actuator. Although the increase in fluid velocity also brings a rise in dynamic energy loss, the energy added by the actuator can cover this to provide growth in the energy of the boundary layer. The plasma actuator presents a better performance when the free-stream velocity is lower.展开更多

This paper can give a predictive estimation of the intersection capacity and provides theoretical data for the type selection of intersections.展开更多

The time cost and storage requirement are very huge for traditional Markov model to analyze the PMS reliability as the number of components increases to a large scale. The states merging method proposed in this paper can account for the PMS with subsystems consisting of identical components, and similar PMSs are common in real-world systems. The simplified Markov model by states merging has smaller number of system states, compared with the traditional one. Furthermore, for the above subsystems, the size of our model increases only linearly as the number of components increases, while the size of the traditional model exponentially increases.Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of our approach are analyzed by comparing with the traditional Markov method.展开更多

The field experiments show that simulation results of this simplified model are satisfactory. The potential operational application and theoretical sense are significant in the meteorological forecast of yield and in the assessment of influences of climatic change on agriculture.

文摘A series of simulations of air flow through three kinds of2 D vegetation canopies along with different canopy morphology have been conducted by computational fluid dynamics( CFD). Two different turbulent closure models have been used, including standard k-ε turbulent model and RNG k-ε turbulent model with or without source / sink terms,respectively,for the purpose of wind energy applications. In this study,the complicated morphology of3 D vegetation canopy is simplified to three types of 2D simplified canopy model analyzed by the main parameter leaf area index( LAI). Effects of branches and leaves on airflow are also modelled by introducing circles into the 2D simplified canopy model with or without source / sink terms by adding drag force terms in the momentum and turbulent energy equations in porous sub-domains.The main model parameters of source / sink terms are identified thanks to experimental data obtained by direct wind tunnel measurements of the air flow speeds through a branch of Osmanthus fragrans. Moreover,three different canopy shapes of the vegetation canopy are introduced into the simulation. The predictive skills of single-and two-equation( k-ε) models with or without source / sink to compute profiles of mean velocity( u),turbulent kinetic energy( TKE),TKE dissipation rate( ε) and turbulent intensity( I) are compared against datasets collected from other works and field measurements. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that vegetation canopy model 1 using RNG or standard k-ε turbulent model with source / sink terms proves to be a physically accurate and numerically robust method. The method which is better than other two vegetation canopy models is recommended for future use in simulating turbulent flows within and above the canopy in 3D in more details.

文摘Recently,the application of Bayesian updating to predict excavation-induced deformation has proven successful and improved prediction accuracy significantly.However,updating the ground settlement profile,which is crucial for determining potential damage to nearby infrastructures,has received limited attention.To address this,this paper proposes a physics-guided simplified model combined with a Bayesian updating framework to accurately predict the ground settlement profile.The advantage of this model is that it eliminates the need for complex finite element modeling and makes the updating framework user-friendly.Furthermore,the model is physically interpretable,which can provide valuable references for construction adjustments.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through two field case studies,showing that it can yield satisfactory predictions for the settlement profile.
文摘During the insect flight, the force peak at the start of each stroke contributes a lot to the total aerodynamic force. Yet how this force is generated is still controversial. Two current explanations to this are wake capture and Added Mass Effect (AME) mechanisms. To study the AME, we present an extended unsteady blade element model which takes both the added mass of fluid and rotational effect of the wing into account. Simulation results show a high force peak at the start of each stroke and are quite similar to the measured forces on the physical wing model. We found that although the Added Mass Force (AMF) of the medium contributes a lot to this force peak, the wake capture effect further augments this force and may play a more important role in delayed mode. Furthermore, we also found that there might be an unknown mechanism which may augment the AME during acceleration period at the start of each stroke, and diminish the AME during deceleration at the end of each stroke.

文摘A simplified numerical model of groundwater and solute transport is developed. At large scale area there exists a big spatial scale difference between horizontal and vertical length scales. In the resultant model, the seepage region is particularly divided into several virtual layers along the z direction and vertical 1-D columns covering x-y 2-D area according to stratum properties. The numerical algorithm is replacing the full 3-D water and mass balance analysis as the 2-D Galerkin finite element method in x- and y-directions and 1-D finite differential approach in the z direction. The reasonable method of giving minimum thickness is successfully used to handle transient change of water table, drying cells and problem of rewetting. The solution of the simplified model is preconditioned conjugate gradient and ORTHOMIN method. The validity of the developed 3-D groundwater model is tested with the typical pumping and backwater scenarios. Results of water balance of the computed example reveal the model computation reliability. Based on a representative 3-D pollution case, the solute transport module is tested against computing results using the MT3DMS. The capability and high efficiency to predict non-stationary situations of free groundwater surface and solute plume in regional scale problem is quantitatively investigated. It is shown that the proposed model is computationally effective.

文摘With the rapid growth of grid-connected wind power penetration level,it is necessary to study the impacts of wind power on power system stability.The small-signal stability of power systems with large-scale wind power is explored using the eigenvalue analysis method.A prototype sample system,the two-synchronous-generator system with a wind farm,is proposed for theoretical analysis.Then,simplified models of wind turbines(WTs)and the corresponding equivalent models of wind farms are analyzed.Three kinds of typical WT models,i.e.,squirrel cage induction generator,doubly-fed induction generator,and permanent magnet synchronous generator are used.Furthermore,based on the simplified equivalent models,effects of large-scale wind farms on the electromechanical oscillation modes(EOMs)of synchronous systems are discussed.Simulation results indicate that wind farms of the three kinds of WTs have positive effects on EOMs.However,long transmission lines connecting wind farmto the systemmay produce negative effects on the small-signal stability of the system.

文摘Particle image velocimetry experiments and simulations were conducted in this study to clarify the influence of the DBD plasma actuator on the flow over a flat plate. The result shows that the actuator not only effectively leads to a local rise in near-wall velocity, but also efficiently causes a decrease in the displacement thickness of the boundary layer. Actuator-induced vorticity is generated to intensify the energy exchange between the main flow and the boundary layer, and dynamic energy is thus added directly to the low-energy fluid by the actuator. Although the increase in fluid velocity also brings a rise in dynamic energy loss, the energy added by the actuator can cover this to provide growth in the energy of the boundary layer. The plasma actuator presents a better performance when the free-stream velocity is lower.

文摘This paper presents a simplified Markov model to evaluate the reliability of phased-mission system(PMS). The time cost and storage requirement are very huge for traditional Markov model to analyze the PMS reliability as the number of components increases to a large scale. The states merging method proposed in this paper can account for the PMS with subsystems consisting of identical components, and similar PMSs are common in real-world systems. The simplified Markov model by states merging has smaller number of system states, compared with the traditional one. Furthermore, for the above subsystems, the size of our model increases only linearly as the number of components increases, while the size of the traditional model exponentially increases.Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of our approach are analyzed by comparing with the traditional Markov method.

文摘To rapidly model the gravity field near elongated asteroids,an intelligent inversion method using Hopfield neural networks(HNNs)is proposed to estimate on-orbit simplified model parameters.First,based on a rotating mass dipole model,the gravitational field of asteroids is characterized using a few parameters.To solve all the parameters of this simplified model,a stepped parameter estimation model is constructed based on different gravity field models.Second,to overcome linearization difficulties caused by the coupling of the parameters to be estimated and the system state,a dynamic parameter linearization technique is proposed such that all terms except the parameter terms are known or available.Moreover,the Lyapunov function of the HNNs is matched to the problem of minimizing parameter estimation errors.Equilibrium values of the Lyapunov function areused as estimated values.The proposed method is applied to natural elongated asteroids 216 Kleopatra,951 Gaspra,and 433 Eros.Simulation results indicate that this method can estimate the simplified model parameters rapidly,and that the estimated simplified model provides a good approximation of the gravity field of elongated asteroids.
