Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of High-Speed Pantographs with Supporting Beam Wind Deflectors

Aiming to mitigate the aerodynamic lift force imbalance between pantograph strips,which exacerbates wear and affects the current collection performance of the pantograph-catenary system,a study has been conducted to support the beam deflector optimization using a combination of experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulations.The results demonstrate that the size,position,and installation orientation of the wind deflectors significantly influence the amount of force compensation.They also indicate that the front strip deflectors should be installed downwards and the rear strip deflectors upwards,thereby forming a“π”shape.Moreover,the lift force compensation provided by the wind deflectors increases with the size of the deflector.Alternative wind compensation strategies,such as control circuits,are also discussed,putting emphasis on the pros and cons of various pantograph types and wind compensation approaches.

High Resolution Crossed Molecular Beams Study on the F＋HD→HF＋D Reaction at Collision Energy of 8.19-18.98 kJ/mol

The crossed beams scattering dynamics of the F＋HD→HF＋D reaction have been studied at collision energies ranging from 8.19 k J/tool to 18.98 k J/tool using the high resolution H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight method. Product rotational state-resolved differential cross sections have been measured. Most of the DF products are backward scattered at low collision energies and then gradually shift to the sideway as the collision energy increases. In addition to the backward and sideway scatterings, we have also observed the DF（v＇=4） product in the forward direction for the first time for this reaction. The forward scattering DF（v=4） product also increases with the collision energy. Angular and collision energy dependence of the product energy disposals in different degrees of freedom have been determined. Collision energy dependence of the vibrational branching ratios has also been examined. Possible dynamical origins of the forward scattering DF（v＇=4） products were discussed.

Crossed Beams Study on the Dynamics of F Atom Reaction with 1,2-Butadiene

We have investigated the dynamics of the F＋C4H6 reaction using the universal crossed molecular beam method. The C4H5F＋H reaction channel was observed in this experiment. Angular resolved time-of-flight spectra have been measured for the C4H5F product. Prod- uct angular distributions as well as kinetic energy distributions were determined for this product channel. Experimental results show that the C4H5F product is largely backward scattered with considerable forward scattering signal, relative to the F atom beam direction. This suggests that the reaction channel mainly proceeds via a long-lived complex formation mechanism, with possible contribution from a direct SN2 type mechanism.

Crossed Beams Study on the Dynamics of CI Atom Reaction with Silane

The dynamics of the Cl＋SiH4 reaction has been studied using the universal crossed molecular beam method. Angular resolved time-of-flight spectra have been measured for the channel SiH3Cl＋H. Product angular distributions as well as energy distributions in the center-ofmass frame were determined for the channel. Experimental results show that the SiH3Cl product is mainly backward scattered relative to the Cl atom beam direction, suggesting that the channel takes place via a typical SN2 type reaction mechanism.

High Resolution Crossed Molecular Beams Study on the F＋HD→HF＋D Reaction at Collision Energy of 5.43-18.73 kJ/mol

The dynamics of F＋HD→HF＋D reaction has been studied at ten collision energies ranging from 5.43 kJ/mol to 18.73 kJ/mol using high-resolution H/D atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight method. Product vibrational and rotational state-resolved differential cross sections have been determined. The intensity of the HF（v1=2） forward products decreases as the collision energy increases, suggesting that the resonance contribution is reduced as the collision energy increases. The forward peak of HF（vl=3） product has also been observed above the threshold of this product channel. Product energy disposals in different degrees of freedom have been analyzed. The collision energy dependence of the HF vibrational product branching was also determined. This work presents a comprehensive dynamic picture of this resonance mediated reaction in a wide collision energy regime, providing a good test ground for theoretical understandings of this interesting reaction at higher collision energies.

Crossed Molecular Beam Study of H＋CH4 and H＋CD4 Reactions： Vibrationally Excited CH3/CD3 Product Channels

We study the H＋CH4/CD4-＋H2/HD＋CH3/CD3 reactions using the time sliced velocity map ion imaging technique. Ion images of the CH3/CD3 products were measured by the （2＋1） resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization （REMPI） detection method. Besides the CH3/CD3 products in the ground state, ion images of the vibrationally excited CH3/CD3 products were also observed at two collision energies of 0.72 and 1.06 eV. It is shown that the angular distribution of the products CH3/CD3 in vibrationally excited states gradually vary from backward scattering to sideways scattering as the collision energy increases. Compared to the CH3/CD3 products in the ground state, the CH3/CD3 products in vibrationally excited states tend to be more sideways scattered, indicating that larger impact parameters play a more important role in the vibrationally excited product channels.

The condition, under which electrons can be accelerated effectively, and the energy gain are discussed.

SHEAR STRESS ANALYSIS OF TIMOSHENKO'S BEAM WITH MULTIPLY CONNECTED CROSS SECTION

In this paper, a finite element method is developed to numericallyevaluate the shear coefficient of Timoshenko's beam with multiplyconnected cross section. With focus on analyzing shear stressesdistributed at the neutral axis of the beam, an improved definitionof the shear coeffi- cient is presented. Based on this definition, aGalerkin-type finite element formulation is proposed to analyze theshear stresses and shear deflections. Numerical solutions of theexamples for some typical cross-sections are compared with thetheoretical results. The shear coefficient of tower sections of theTsing Ma Bridge is calculated by use of the proposed approach, sothat the finite element modeling of The bridge can be developed withthe accurate values of the sectional properties.

Electron acceleration by two crossed Bessel-Gaussian beams in vacuum

The direct acceleration of electrons by using two linearly polarized crossed Bessel-Gaussian （BG） beams with equal frequency and amplitude in vacuum is proposed and studied. It is shown that two linearly polarized BG beams of the same order （0 or 1） with a π-rad phase difference have a resultant non-zero longitudinal electric field on the z-axis and can be used, in principle, to accelerate electrons.

Modeling and analysis of piezoelectric beam with periodically variable cross-sections for vibration energy harvesting

A bimorph piezoelectric beam with periodically variable cross-sections is used for the vibration energy harvesting. The effects of two geometrical parameters on the first band gap of this periodic beam are investigated by the generalized differential quadrature rule （GDQR） method. The GDQR method is also used to calculate the forced vibration response of the beam and voltage of each piezoelectric layer when the beam is subject to a sinusoidal base excitation. Results obtained from the analytical method are compared with those obtained from the finite element simulation with ANSYS, and good agreement is found. The voltage output of this periodic beam over its first band gap is calculated and compared with the voltage output of the uniform piezoelectric beam. It is concluded that this periodic beam has three advantages over the uniform piezoelectric beam, i.e., generating more voltage outputs over a wide frequency range, absorbing vibration, and being less weight.

High Resolution Crossed Molecular Beams Study of the H+HD→H2+D Reaction

The H+H2 reaction is the simplest chemical reaction system and has long been the prototype model in the study of reaction dynamics. Here we report a high resolution experimental investigation of the state-to-state reaction dynamics in the H+HD→H2+D reaction by using the crossed molecular beams method and velocity map ion imaging technique at the collision energy of 1.17 eV. D atom products in this reaction were probed by the near threshold 1+1'(vacuum ultraviolet+ultraviolet) laser ionization scheme. The ion image with both high angular and energy resolution were acquired. State-to-state differential cross sections was accurately derived. Fast forward scattering oscillations, relating with interference effects in the scattering process, were clearly observed for H2 products at H2(v'=0,j'=1) and H2(v'=0,j'=3) rovibrational levels. This study further demonstrates the importance of measuring high-resolution differential cross sections in the study of state-to-state reaction dynamics in the gas phase.

A crossed focused vortex beam with application to cold molecules

We report the generation of a crossed,focused,optical vortex beam by using a pair of hybrid holograms,which combine the vortex phase and lens phase onto a spatial light modulator.We study the intensity distributions of the vortex beam in free propagation space,and the relationship of its dark spot size with the incident Gaussian beam’s waist,the lens’s focal length,and its orbital angular momentum.Our results show that the crossed,focused,vortex beam’s dark spot size can be as small as 16.3μm and adjustable by the quantum number of the orbital angular momentum,and can be used to increase the density of trapped molecules.Furthermore,we calculate the optical potential of the blue-detuned,crossed vortex beam for MgF molecules.It is applicable to cool and trap neutral molecules by intensity-gradient-induced Sisyphus cooling,as the intensity gradient of such vortex beam is extremely high near the focal point.

Crossed Beam Experiment on the Validity of Born-Oppenheimer Approximation in Cl(2P)+D2→DCl+D Reaction

The reaction of chlorine atom Cl(2P)(Cl(2P3/2)and Cl^*(2P1/2))with D2 was investigated at collision energy from 4.5 kcal/mol to 6.5 kcal/mol with a high-resolution crossed molecular beam apparatus using the technique of D-atom Rydberg tagging detection.The contribution from the spin-orbit excited reaction Cl^*(2P1/2)+D2,which is prohibited by Born-Oppenheimer(BO)approximation,was observed.Collision-energy dependence of differential cross sections(DCSs)near the backward scattering direction was measured.The BOforbidden reaction Cl^*+D2 was found to be dominant at lower collision energy.As collision energy increases,reactivity of BO-allowed reaction Cl+D2 increases much faster than that of BO-forbidden reaction and becomes dominant at higher collision energy.Our experiment indicates that the additional energy of spin-orbit excitation in Cl^*facilitates BO-forbidden reaction to pass through the barrier at lower collision energy,while BO approximation is still valid at collision energy near and above the reaction barrier.This tendency of reactivity of Cl/Cl^*+D2 is similar to the isotopic reaction of Cl/Cl^*+H2.

Crossed Beam Study on the F+D2→DF+D Reaction at Hyperthermal Collision Energy of 23.84 kJ/mol

We presented an experimental apparatus combining the H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight technique and the laser detonation source for studying crossed beam reactions at hyperthermal collision energies. The preliminary study of the F+D2→DF+D reaction at hyperthermal collision energy of 23.84 kJ/mol was performed. Two beam sources were used in this study: one is the hyperthermal F beam source produced by a laser detonation process, and the other is D2 beam source generated by liquid-N2 cooled pulsed valve. Vibrational state-resolved di erential cross sections (DCSs) of product for the title reaction were determined. From the product vibrational state-resolved DCS, it can be concluded that products DF(v'=0, 1, 2, 3) are predominantly distributed in the sideway and backward scattering directions at this collision energy. However, the highest vibrational excited product DF(v'=4), is clearly peaked in the forward direction. The probable dynamical origins for these forward scattering products were analyzed and discussed.

High Resolution Crossed Beams Scattering Study of the F＋HD→DF＋H Reaction

Crossed beams scattering study was carried out on the F＋HD→DF＋H reaction using high- resolution H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight technique. Vibrational state-resolved differential cross sections were measured, with partial rotational state resolution, at eight collision energies in the range of 2.51-5.60 kJ/mol. Experimental results indicated that the product angular distributions are predominantly backward scattered. As the collision energy increases, the backward scattered peak becomes broader gradually. Dependence of product vibration branching ratios on the collision energy was also determined. The experimental results show that the DF products are highly inverted in the vibrational state distribution and the DF （v＇=3） product is the most populated state. Furthermore, the DF （v＇=l） product has also been observed at collision energy above 3.97 kJ/mol.

Crossed Molecular Beams and Theoretical Studies of the O(~3P)+1,2-Butadiene Reaction:Dominant Formation of Propene+CO and Ethylidene+Ketene Molecular Channels

Detailed understanding of the mechanism of the combustion relevant multichannel reactions of O(3P) with unsaturated hydrocarbons (UHs) requires the identification of all primary reaction products, the determination of their branching ratios and assessment of intersystem crossing (ISC) between triplet and singlet potential energy surfaces (PESs). This can be best achieved combining crossed-molecular-beam (CMB) experiments with universal, soft ionization, mass-spectrometric detection and time-of-flight analysis to high-level ab initio electronic structure calculations of triplet/singlet PESs and RRKM/Master Equation computations of branching ratios (BRs) including ISC. This approach has been recently demonstrated to be successful for O(3P) reactions with the simplest UHs (alkynes, alkenes, dienes) containing two or three carbon atoms. Here, we extend the combined CMB/theoretical approach to the next member in the diene series containing four C atoms, namely 1,2-butadiene (methylallene) to explore how product distributions, branching ratios and ISC vary with increasing molecular complexity going from O(3P))+propadiene to O(3P)+1,2-butadiene. In particular, we focus on the most important, dominant molecular channels, those forming propene+CO (with branching ratio ∽0.5) and ethylidene+ketene (with branching ratio ∽0.15), that lead to chain termination, to be contrasted to radical forming channels (branching ratio ∽0.35) which lead to chain propagation in combustion systems.

Digital Cross-Correlation Detection of Multi-Laser Beams Measuring System for Wind Field Detection

A cross-correlation detection method to process backscatter signals of multi-laser beams measuring （MLBM） is presented, which can be firstly filtered by the digital filter composed of average median filter and finite impulse response （FIR） digital filter. The processing of backscatter signals using single-pulse and three-pulse cross-correlation detection methods is depicted in detail. From calculation results, the multi-pulse cross-correlation detection could effectively improve signal-to-noise ratio （SNR）. Finally, both wind velocity and direction are determined by the peak-delay method based on the correlation function which shows high measuring precision and high SNR of the MLBM system with the assistance of the digital cross- correlation detection.
