Optimum Profiles of Endwall Contouring for Enhanced Net Heat Flux Reduction and Aerodynamic Performance

Successfully utilized non-axisymmetric endwalls to enhance turbine efficiencies(aerodynamic and turbine inlet temperatures)by controlling the characteristics of the secondary flow in a blade passage.This is accomplished by steady-state numerical hydrodynamics and deep knowledge of the field of flow.Because of the interaction between mainstream and purge flow contributing supplementary losses in the stage,non-axisymmetric endwalls are highly susceptible to the inception of purge flow exit compared to the flat and any advantage rapidly vanishes.The conclusions reveal that the supreme endwall pattern could yield a lowering of the gross pressure loss at the design stage and is related to the size of the top-loss location being productively lowered.This has led to diminished global thermal exchange lowered in the passage of the vane alone.The reverse flow adjacent to the suction side corner of the endwall is migrated farther from the vane surface,as the deviated pressure spread on the endwall accelerates the flow and progresses the reverse flow core still downstream.The depleted association between the tornado-like vortex and the corner vortex adjacent to the suction side corner of the endwall is the dominant mechanism of control in the contoured end wall.In this publication,we show that the non-axisymmetric endwall contouring by selective numerical shape change method at most prominent locations is advantageous in lowering the thermal load in turbines to augment the net heat flux reduction as well as the aerodynamic performance using multi-objective optimization.

Coupled Mode of Net Heat Flux and Wind Explain the Formation of the Indian Ocean Dipole

Net heat flux,sea surface temperature(SST),and sea surface wind in the northern Indian Ocean were investigated using the TropFlux,ERA5,and J-OFURO3 datasets and correlation analysis,power spectrum analysis,and singular value decomposition(SVD)methods,respectively.The relationships between net heat flux,SST,and sea surface winds were determined.The coupled modes of net heat flux and wind have been found to explain the SST variations in the Indian Ocean basin and the generation mechanism of the Indian Ocean Dipole(IOD).The correlation between net heat flux and wind is strongly negative.The SST lags the net heat flux and wind by approximately one month and has strong positive and negative correlations,respectively.The correlation between net heat flux and wind in the northern Indian Ocean is not only seasonal but also regionally dependent on seasonal variations.Using the SVD method,the important role of net heat flux in local sea-air interactions is discussed and identified as the initial perturbation that triggers the SST anomalies in the Southeast Indian Ocean,and the areas with key sea-air interactions and the generation mechanisms of the local sea-air interactions that form the IOD are determined.

A primary study of the correlation between the net air-sea heat flux and the interannual variation of western North Pacific tropical cyclone track and intensity

A singular value decomposition （SVD） analysis is carried out to reveal the relationship between the interannual variation of track and intensity of the western North Pacific tropical cyclones （WNPTCs） in the tropical cyclone （TC） active season （July–November） and the global net air-sea heat flux （Q net ） in the preceding season （April–June）. For this purpose, a tropical cyclone track and intensity function （TIF） is defined by a combination of accumulated cyclone energy （ACE） index and a cyclone track density function. The SVD analysis reveals that the first mode is responsible for the positive correlation between the upward heat flux in the tropical central Pacific and the increased activity of western North Pacific （WNP） TIF, the second mode for the positive correlation between the upward heat flux in the North Indian Ocean and the northeastward track shift of WNPTCs and the third mode for the negative correlation between the upward heat flux in mid-latitude central Pacific and the northwest displacement of the WNP TC-active center. This suggests that Q net anomalies in some key regions have a substantial remote impact on the WNP TC activity.

THE STUDY ON LATENT AND SENSIBLE HEAT FLUX OVER MIRE IN THE SANJIANG PLAIN

S:Understanding how surface energy fluxes respond to environmental variables and how their components vary on daily and seasonal temporal scales are critical for understanding the ecological process of wetland ecosystem. In view of the fact that studies on surface energy flux over mire in China have been very limited, we have initiated a long-term latent and sensible heat flux (two main components of the surface energy balance) observation over mire in the Sanjiang Plain from June to October in 2004 with the eddy covariance technique. Results showed that the latent and sensible heat flux had large seasonal and diurnal variation during the period of measurement. Generally, latent heat flux between the mire wetland and the atmosphere reached the maximum value in June and then gradually decreased from June to October, whose daily mean fluxes were 9.83,8.00,7.33, 4.82 and 2.04 MJ/(m^2·d), respectively. By comparison, sensible heat flux changed unnoticeably with season change from June to October, which were 1.47,0.88,1.75, 1.61,1.33 MJ/(m^2·d) respectively. The diurnal variation of both latent and sensible heat flux varied noticeably within a day. After the sunrise, the latent and sensible heat flux increased and reached the maximum at noon (11:00-13:00). Then they decreased gradually and reached the minimum value during the nighttime. The patterns of temporal variation in latent and sensible heat flux were significantly controlled by environmental factors. The latent heat flux was linearly dependent on net radiation and increased with increasing vapour pressure deficit until the vapour pressure deficit surpassed 11 hPa. Wind speed effect on latent heat flux was more complicated and, in general, showed a positive correlation between them in daytime. The sensible heat flux was controlled mainly by air temperature difference between the land surface and the overlying air. However, when the temperature difference was larger than 0.3 ℃, it had no effect on the sensible heat flux. The study showed up the temporal variation of latent and sensible heat flux and how the environmental factors affected them.

Climate-Vegetation Coverage Interactions in the Hengduan Mountains Area, Southeastern Tibetan Plateau, and Their Downstream Effects

Little is known about the mechanism of climate-vegetation coverage coupled changes in the Tibetan Plateau(TP)region,which is the most climatically sensitive and ecologically fragile region with the highest terrain in the world.This study,using multisource datasets(including satellite data and meteorological observations and reanalysis data)revealed the mutual feedback mechanisms between changes in climate(temperature and precipitation)and vegetation coverage in recent decades in the Hengduan Mountains Area(HMA)of the southeastern TP and their influences on climate in the downstream region,the Sichuan Basin(SCB).There is mutual facilitation between rising air temperature and increasing vegetation coverage in the HMA,which is most significant during winter,and then during spring,but insignificant during summer and autumn.Rising temperature significantly enhances local vegetation coverage,and vegetation greening in turn heats the atmosphere via enhancing net heat flux from the surface to the atmosphere.The atmospheric heating anomaly over the HMA thickens the atmospheric column and increases upper air pressure.The high pressure anomaly disperses downstream via the westerly flow,expands across the SCB,and eventually increases the SCB temperature.This effect lasts from winter to the following spring,which may cause the maximum increasing trend of the SCB temperature and vegetation coverage in spring.These results are helpful for estimating future trends in climate and eco-environmental variations in the HMA and SCB under warming scenarios,as well as seasonal forecasting based on the connection between the HMA eco-environment and SCB climate.

青藏高原东南缘不同类型生态系统碳、水交换特征

青藏高原东南缘横断山脉地区是南亚和东亚季风的交汇处,也是大气变化的敏感区和热源区。开展该地区地气相互作用对区域水热过程影响机制及其参数化研究,对于研究青藏高原大气水汽传输的关键过程问题有重大意义。本文介绍了基于涡动观测法开展的青藏高原东南缘地区的地气相互作用观测试验,并总结了洱海湖面、丽江高山草甸及腾冲北海湿地的地气交换特征,以及利用数值模式开展复杂山地局地环流特征的研究工作。目前已初步明确和揭示青藏高原东南缘横断山脉不同类型下垫面的地气交换特征及其影响因素,主要结论如下:青藏高原东南缘高山草甸的碳、水交换过程受降水分布影响显著,“浮毯型”湿地(水面常年覆盖有“浮毯”状苔草草排)的碳、水交换除了受气象因素影响外,也受到下垫面植被和水体比例变化的影响。不同类型生态系统的碳、水交换过程在不同时间尺度的影响因子存在差别。风速始终是湖泊潜热和CO_(2)交换的关键影响因子,而降水在较长时间尺度对湖泊CO_(2)通量也有显著影响。此外,青藏高原东南缘的复杂地形对于生态系统的碳、水交换过程也有显著影响。复杂地形产生的不同类型的局地环流对于生态系统的碳、水交换过程有不同的影响。

Seasonal Variability of the Yellow Sea/East China Sea Surface Fluxes and Thermohaline Structure

We use the U.S. Navy's Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set (MOODS) forthe Yellow Sea/ East China Sea (YES) to investigate the climatological water mass features and theseasonal and non-seasonal variabilities of the thermohaline structure, and use the ComprehensiveOcean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) from 1945 to 1989 to investigate the linkage between the fluxes(momentum, heat, and moisture) across the air-ocean interface and the formation of the water massfeatures. After examining the major current systems and considering the local bathymetry and watermass properties, we divide YES into five regions: East China Sea (ECS) shelf, Yellow Sea (YS) Basin,Cheju bifurcation (CB) zone, Taiwan Warm Current (TWC) region, Kuroshio Current (KC) region. Thelong term mean surface heat balance corresponds to a heat loss of 30 W m^(-2) in the ESC and CBregions, a heat loss of 65 W m^(-2) in the KC and TWC regions, and a heat gain of 15 W m^(-2) in theYS region. The surface freshwater balance is defined by precipitation minus evaporation. The annualwater loss from the surface for the five subareas ranges from 1.8 to 4 cm month^(-1). The freshwater loss from the surface should be compensated for from the river run-off. The entire watercolumn of the shelf region (ECS, YS, and CB) undergoes an evident seasonal thermal cycle withmaximum values of temperature during summer and maximum mixed layer depths during winter. However,only the surface waters of the TWC and KC regions exhibit a seasonal thermal cycle.. We also foundtwo different relations between surface salinity and the Yangtze River run-off, namely, out-of-phasein the East China Sea shelf and in-phase in the Yellow Sea. This may confirm an earlier study thatthe summer fresh water discharge from the Yangtze River forms a relatively shallow, low salinityplume-like structure extending offshore on average towards the northeast.

南极宇航员海夏季水文结构变化特征研究

本文基于中国南极考察(CHINARE37-38)在宇航员海获取的海洋综合站位观测数据,结合海冰密集度、WOA23和ERA5再分析资料等,分析了该海域主要水文结构及其变化特征。结果表明:宇航员海夏季水团包括南极表层水(分为夏季表层水与冬季残留水)、绕极深层水、变性绕极深层水和南极底层水。夏季表层水均分布在表层50 m深度以浅,呈现出南冷北暖的趋势。66°S以南的冬季残留水最厚,最深可达200 m左右。绕极深层水向南侵入的趋势明显,CHINARE-38绕极深层水向上涌升的高度较CHINARE-37高出10~20 m。夏季表层水的高温高盐核心位于中心海域无冰区,因为无冰海域的表层海水长时间接收太阳短波辐射而温度较高。近岸海域因冰融水导致局部夏季表层水降温淡化。宇航员海中心海域海面风场维持低气压气旋式环流,次表层水体通过Ekman抽吸上升冷却表层暖水,导致表层与次表层水体混合加强,绕极深层水向南侵入并向上涌升。

On the Upper Oceanic Heat Budget in the South China Sea:Annual Cycle

The upper oceanic heat budget in the South China Sea (SCS) is studied on the basis of ocean surface heat flux, upper sea heat storage and horizontal oceanic heat transport calculated from Comprehensive Ocean and Atmosphere Data Set. Several useful conclusions can be obtained and they are helpful for us to understand the climatologically thermal condition in the SCS. The annual variation of net heat budget reflects the adjustment and sudden change of the monsoon circulation over the SCS. The variation of upper oceanic heat storage of the SCS is tightly connected with the oceanic heat transport as well as the vertical movement in the SCS and so on.

Net water vapour exchange over a mixed needle and broad-leaved forest in Changbai Mountain during autumn

Water vapour and CO2 fluxes were measured by the eddy-covariance technique above a mixed needle and broad-leaved forest with affiliated meteorological measurements in Changbai Mountain as part of China's FLUX projects since late August in 2002. Net water vapour exchange and environmental control over the forest were examined from September 1 to October 31 in 2002. To quantify the seasonal dynamics, the transition period was separated into leafed, leaf falling and leafless stages according to the development of leaf area. The results showed that (a) seasonal variation of water vapour exchange was mainly controlled by net radiation (Rn) which could account for 78.5%, 63.4% and 56.6% for leafed, leaf falling and leafless stages, respectively, while other environmental factors' effects varied evidently; (b) magnitude of water vapour flux decreased remarkably during autumn and daily mean of water vapour exchange was 24.2 mg m-2 s-1 (100%), 14.8 mg m-2 s-1 (61.2%) and 10.3 mg m-2 s-1 (42.6%) for leafed, leaf falling and leafless stage, respectively; and (c) the budget of water vapour exchange during autumn was estimated to be 87.1 kg H2O m-2, with a mean of 1427.2 g H2O d-1' varying markedly from 3104.0 to 227.5 g H2O m-2d-1.

Simulation and analysis for anthropogenic heat release

Heat balance of urban ecosystem is a key point for the study of urban climate and micro-climate pattern and its change mechanism. Urban heat island effect is becoming increasingly serious,which is mainly caused by the change of the earth's surface cover and the anthropogenic heat release. In this study,the simulation experiment for the anthropogenic heat release was designed according to the heat balance principle. A set of buildings of miniature city were used to constitute the residential area,U grooves were applied to simulate the single building,and the fluorescent lamps in the U groove were regarded as the heat sources of the anthropogenic heat release. The simulation experiment was launched with long-short wave sun photometer,sonic anemothermometer and heat flow gauge in the experiment site. Then the net solar radiation,sensible heat flux and heat flux into the ground were determined. The quantities of the anthropogenic heat release were calculated based on the heat balance principle,and were compared with the theoretical power consumption of the fluorescent lamps. The root mean square error( RMSE) of the simulation for the anthropogenic heat release reaches0. 078 W·m- 2,a comparatively high precision,which showes that the anthropogenic heat release can be accurately determined through the simulation experiments. This study provided a scientific method for the purpose of monitoring the anthropogenic heat release.

随着成都城市化进程的加快,热岛效应逐渐加剧,而公园城市建设是缓解热岛效应的有效手段。基于Landsat8影像,利用劈窗算法反演得到地表温度,进而得到研究区净辐射通量和土壤热通量的热辐射分布特征,并根据成都热岛效应分布特征提出了公园城市建设的措施。结果表明,成都热岛效应冬季更明显;主城区地表温度高、热通量大,郊县热通量小,热岛效应较低。由回归分析可知,成都热岛效应与植被覆盖度呈线性负相关,净辐射通量与地表温度呈线性正相关,环境空气质量与热岛效应呈线性正相关。

Shortwave Cloud and Aerosol Radiative Forcings and Their Effects on the Vertical Local Heating/Cooling Rates

An analysis of atmospheric SW-radiative forcing and local heating/cooling rate is made using a one year temporal and vertical profiles of aerosol and cloud over Yaoundé (11.51°E, 3.83°N). It appears that the direct influence of aerosols on the surface compared to the TOA can be 3 times larger. Annual mean value obtained at 559 mb altitude is +27.74 W/m2 with range from 0 to +43 W/m2. At 904 mb, we obtained an annual mean of ﹣46.22 W/m2 with range from ﹣65 to ﹣9 W/m2. Frequency distribution indicates that more than 95% of ARF are between +10 and +70 W/m2 at 559 mb (upper limit of UL), and more than 85% of ARF are between ﹣70 and ﹣10 W/m2 at 904 mb (upper limit of PBL). This sign change is explained by the fact that the backscattering peaks at the upper limit of the aerosol PBL layer. The maximum CRF is noted at TOA where it reaches ﹣600 W/m2 based on the time interval and the structure of clouds. The highest values occur between 11.50 and 13.50 LST. Clouds lead to a general heating of the entire atmospheric column with a much greater effect near the surface. Aerosols effect on the heating rate profile show strong cooling during the day for the lower atmosphere, with slight heating at the upper atmosphere. This cooling contribution generally increases from the surface and peacks at the upper boundary of aerosol layer where reflectivity is the most important. Depending on the moment of the day, average heating effect of clouds peacks at surface or within the middle troposphere due to the absorption by clouds particles. Vertical profiles deeply evolve exhibiting differences that exceed ﹣3 K/day according to altitude from one hour to another during a given mean solar day.

南极海冰快速下降历史事件的时空特征分析

卫星记录以来,南极海冰范围发生5次快速下降事件,研究这5次事件的时空特征,对进一步认识海冰快速下降事件的物理机制具有重要意义。基于海冰范围和海冰密集度的卫星数据,从时间和空间两个维度总结5次南极海冰快速下降事件的特征,再结合大气和海洋各项环境因素的再分析数据,探讨海冰快速下降的影响因素及其驱动过程。结果显示:南极海冰快速下降的空间分布存在季节性差异,2021年8~12月以及2016年8~12月的春季南极海冰快速下降由别林斯高晋海、威德尔海、印度洋和西太平洋区域的海冰减少所主导;2010年12月至2011年4月以及1985年12月至1986年4月的夏季南极海冰快速下降由威德尔海、罗斯海沿岸和西太平洋区域的海冰减少所主导;2008年4~8月的冬季南极海冰快速下降则由别林斯高晋海和西太平洋的部分区域的海冰减少所主导。探究影响海冰的环境因素发现,海表面温度和海表面净热通量对海冰减少的热力效应影响具有区域性差异。此外,南极海冰快速下降受阿蒙森低压的影响,相应的海表面风异常既通过经向热输运的热力效应导致海冰减少,也通过风的动力效应驱动海冰漂移使得海冰密集度降低。

北印度洋净热通量的季节、年际和年代际变化

根据月平均热通量(TropFlux)资料,使用相关分析和线性倾向估计以及经验正交分解(EOF)等方法,标记5个特征海区,以反映北印度洋净热通量的季节、年际和年代际变化特征。结果显示:冬季阿拉伯海失热区比孟加拉湾失热区失热多;夏季只有亚丁湾海域失热,斯科特拉区得热量值和赤道区相当。北印度洋净热通量季节分布呈现春季峰值大于秋季的双峰分布。近些年来,阿拉伯海和亚丁湾海域失热减小,孟加拉湾失热增多,赤道得热有下降的趋势。阿拉伯海、孟加拉湾和亚丁湾失热区净热通量的季节、年际和年代际变化主要由潜热和感热决定,亚丁湾夏季失热还与长波辐射有关。冬季净热通量异常场分解出3个独立模态,累计贡献率可达53.87%,第一模态为主模态,阿拉伯海失热区失热减少、孟加拉湾失热区失热增多的年代际变化特征。夏季净热通量异常场前3个模态的累计贡献率为57.42%,第一模态为主模态,北印度洋全场一致性得热,且以热带印度洋西部为最强的年代际变化。

利用海冰密集度数据分析北极冰间湖变化

冰间湖内存在强烈的海-气相互作用和结冰析盐过程,在极区以及全球气候系统中起着重要作用。本文基于数字图像处理技术,从AMSR-E高分辨卫星遥感海冰密集度数据中提取了长时间序列的冰间湖变化信息,研究北极冰间湖内的净水面积、净水表面的净热通量(向上为正)、产冰量和产盐量的季节和年际变化,比较不同冰间湖区域之间的差异。研究结果表明:总净水面积分别在结冰初期和末期存在极大值,而由于总净水面积季节变化幅度不是很大,总产冰量和产盐量的季节变化主要受净热通量影响,在1月份存在极大值;在不同冰间湖区域内净水面积的季节变化中,进入结冰期越早的冰间湖内净水面积越快达到首次极大值;净热通量的年际变化趋势总体上是减小的,总净水面积是增加大的,其中靠近太平洋和大西洋入流口的冰间湖内净热通量减小的速率要比其他区域快,靠近亚欧大陆的冰间湖内净水面积增长速率要比其他区域大;总产冰量的年际变化同总净水面积基本一致,也是呈增加趋势。最后通过研究冰间湖的年际变化信息同海冰范围变化的相关性,发现如果连续多年冰间湖内年平均净热通量为负的异常,那么海冰范围将出现一次极小值。

东海PN断面水团分布的季节变化

利用PN断面的高分辨率CTD温度、盐度和密度资料,采用曲线族拟合的水团分析方法分析发现,PN断面处的水团有明显的陆架水和黑潮水的交汇特征,且随着季节的变化PN断面处的水团特征也发生明显的变化。夏季,黑潮水核心离陆架的距离最远且深度较深,陆架水与黑潮的混合水浮置于黑潮水本体之上且向深海拓展的最远,隶属度在PN断面上200 m的分布几乎呈水平状;秋季,黑潮水主体离陆架的距离最近,并将陆架混合水向陆架压迫,使得隶属度等值线由夏季的平直状态向陆地弯曲;冬季,黑潮水团的核心占据了深海区域的整个表层和次表层,且位置相对于秋季更向深海移动,黑潮水与陆架水的交汇处也由秋季的陆架移向陆坡;春季,是唯一可以清楚地看到陆架混合水隶属度分布的季节,此时陆架混合水充满整个陆架海域,而黑潮水的核心进一步远离陆架。海面风场和净热通量场通过改变混合层的深度影响PN断面处黑潮水和陆架水之间的混合,而海面降水对于PN断面上的水团分布特征没有显著影响。

黑土区耕作措施对春季耕层温度的影响

本文通过长期定位试验,分析了免耕、少耕和旋松三种耕作措施下耕层黑土土壤容积热容量、土壤热通量、净辐射的变化,进而阐明了耕作措施对耕层土壤温度日变化的影响。研究表明:各处理0cm和5cm处土壤温度变化与净辐射通量变化存在极显著相关关系。5cm处土壤热通量日变化各处理均表现为"S"型波动曲线,日变化相对较大,10cm处相对较小。免耕秸秆覆盖日净辐射平均值为0.58MJ/m2,比少耕和旋松小0.04MJ/m2,受净辐射、容积热容量和5cm处热通量影响,0cm和5cm处土壤温度日变化较大,且有波动现象;受深层较低地温、容积热容量和10cm处热通量影响,10cm和15cm处土壤温度变化较小,且较平稳。所有耕作措施土壤温度随深度的增加出现滞后现象。免耕秸秆覆盖措施各耕层相对于其他处理地温均较低,影响春季地温的升高。

青藏高原腹地高原多年冻土区能量收支各分量的季节变化特征

利用2007年青藏高原冰冻圈观测研究站在唐古拉和西大滩综合观测场的实测资料,计算了藏北高原多年冻土区2种不同植被下垫面的能量收支各分量,并对其季节变化特征和主要影响因素进行了分析.结果表明,该区域地表净辐射季节变化十分显著,主要受到太阳高度角和下垫面状况的影响;地表热通量季节变化同净辐射相似;感热通量春季达到最大,在夏季有所下降,冬季最小,其变化与降水过程,土壤冻融过程,下垫面状况及净辐射变化密切相关;而潜热通量夏季最大,冬季最小,其变化主要受降水和土壤含水量的制约.藏北高原多年冻土区冬春两季地气能量交换以感热传输为主,夏秋两季则是潜热输送占主导地位.
