The parallel cuts of the parallel and perpendicular electric field have bipolar and unipolar structures in these electron holes, respectively. In this study, two-dimensional （2D） electromagnetic PIC simulations are performed in the x - y plane to investigate the evolution of the electron two-stream instability, with the emphasis on the magnetic structures associated with these electron holes in different plasma conditions. In the simulations, the background magnetic field （Bo = Boer） is along the x direction. In weakly magnetized plasma （Ωe 〈ωpe, where Ωe and ωpe are the electron gyrofrequency and electron plasma frequency, respectively）, several 2D electron holes are formed. In these 2D electron holes, the parallel cut of the fluctuating magnetic field δBx and δBz has unipolar structures, while the fluctuating magnetic field δBy has bipolar structures. In strongly magnetized plasma （Ωe 〉 ωpe）, several quasi-lD electron holes are formed. The electrostatic whistler waves with streaked structures of Ey are excited. The fluctuating mag- netic field δBx and δBz also have streaked structures. The fluctuating magnetic field δBx and δBy are produced by the current in the z direction due to the electric field drift of the trapped elec- trons, while the fluctuating magnetic field δBz can be explained by the Lorentz transformation of a moving quasielectrostatic structure. The influences of the initial temperature anisotropy on the magnetic structures of the electron holes are also analyzed. The electromagnetic whistler waves are found to be excited in weakly magnetized plasma. However, they do not have any significant effects on the electrostatic structures of the electron holes.展开更多

Particle-in-cell(PIC) simulations have demonstrated that the electron bi-stream instability induces several electron holes during its nonlinear evolution. However, how the unipolar structure of the parallel cut of the perpendicular electric field formed in these electron holes is still an unsolved problem,especially in a strongly magnetized plasma(Ω_e >ω_(pe), where Ω_e is defined as electron gyrofrequency and ω_(pe) is defined as plasma frequency, respectively). In this paper, with two-dimensional(2D) electrostatic PIC simulations, the evolution of the electron two-stream instability with a finite width in strongly magnetized plasma is investigated. Initially, those conditions lead to monochromatic electrostatic waves, and these waves coalesce with each other during their nonlinear evolution. At last, a solitary electrostatic structure is formed. In such an electron hole, a bipolar structure is formed in the parallel cut. of parallel electric field, while a unipolar structure presents in the parallel cut of perpendicular electric field.展开更多

It is shown that the SCW with a wide frequency spectrum is formed when the frequency of the first SCW harmonic is much lower than the critical frequency of the two-stream instability.Such SCW has part of the spectrum in which higher harmonics have higher amplitudes. We analyze the dynamics of the plural harmonic interactions of the growing SCW and define the saturation harmonic levels. We find the mechanisms of forming the multiharmonic SCW for the waves with frequencies lower than the critical frequency and for the waves with frequencies that exceed the critical frequency.展开更多

Ho...The utilization of Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) plays a key factor in affecting the instability evolution. Existing literature mainly focuses on the effect of IGV on instability inception that occurs in the rotor region. However, with the emergence of compressor instability starting from the stator region, the mechanism of various instability inceptions that occurs in different blade rows due to the change of IGV angles should be further examined. In this study, experiments were focused on three types of instability inceptions observed previously in a 1.5-stage axial flow compressor. To analyze the conversion of stall evolutions, the compressor rotating speed was set to 17 160 r/min, at which both the blade loading in the stator hub region and rotor tip region were close to the critical value before final compressor stall. Meanwhile, the dynamic test points with high-response were placed to monitor the pressures both at the stator trailing edges and rotor tips. The results indicate that the variation of reaction determines the region where initial instability occurs. Indeed, negative pre-rotation of the inlet guide vane leads to high-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the rotor region. Positive pre-rotation results in low-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the stator region. Furthermore, the type of instability evolution is affected by the radial loading distribution under different IGV angles. Specifically, a spike-type inception occurs at the rotor blade tip with a large angle of attack at the rotor inlet (−2°, −4° and −6°). Meanwhile, the critical total pressure ratio at the rotor tip is 1.40 near stall. As the angle of attack decreases, the stator blade loading reaches its critical boundary, with a value of approximately 1.35. At this moment, if the rotor tip maintains high blade loading similar to the stator hub, the partial surge occurs (0° and +2°);otherwise, the hub instability occurs (+4° and +6°).展开更多

Most studies of RI are based on the uniform inflow, ignoring the influence of inlet distortions. This study investigates the mechanism of RI in a transonic rotor through full-annulus unsteady simulations, with a particular focus on the effects of boundary layer ingesting distortions. The results show that at the uniform inflow, the RI fluctuations with the broadband hump can be observed over a relatively wide mass flow rate range, and its origin can be attributed to the coupling effect between the tip leakage flow and shear layer instability. At the inlet distortions, the broadband hump only occurs with partial circumferential locations. This kind of flow phenomenon is defined as Partial Rotating Instability (PRI). The PRI only occurs in a narrower mass flow rate range in which the circumferential range of strong shear is sufficiently large and the self-induced unsteady effects are strong enough. Further, this study confirms that the averaged tip leakage flow axial momentum at the onset of RI or PRI is close, so it can be used as the parameter to determine whether RI or PRI occurs.展开更多

文摘The utilization of Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) plays a key factor in affecting the instability evolution. Existing literature mainly focuses on the effect of IGV on instability inception that occurs in the rotor region. However, with the emergence of compressor instability starting from the stator region, the mechanism of various instability inceptions that occurs in different blade rows due to the change of IGV angles should be further examined. In this study, experiments were focused on three types of instability inceptions observed previously in a 1.5-stage axial flow compressor. To analyze the conversion of stall evolutions, the compressor rotating speed was set to 17 160 r/min, at which both the blade loading in the stator hub region and rotor tip region were close to the critical value before final compressor stall. Meanwhile, the dynamic test points with high-response were placed to monitor the pressures both at the stator trailing edges and rotor tips. The results indicate that the variation of reaction determines the region where initial instability occurs. Indeed, negative pre-rotation of the inlet guide vane leads to high-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the rotor region. Positive pre-rotation results in low-reaction, initiating stall disturbance from the stator region. Furthermore, the type of instability evolution is affected by the radial loading distribution under different IGV angles. Specifically, a spike-type inception occurs at the rotor blade tip with a large angle of attack at the rotor inlet (−2°, −4° and −6°). Meanwhile, the critical total pressure ratio at the rotor tip is 1.40 near stall. As the angle of attack decreases, the stator blade loading reaches its critical boundary, with a value of approximately 1.35. At this moment, if the rotor tip maintains high blade loading similar to the stator hub, the partial surge occurs (0° and +2°);otherwise, the hub instability occurs (+4° and +6°).

文摘Rotating Instability (RI) is a typical unsteady flow phenomenon in compressors and may cause severe aerodynamic noise and even potential nonsynchronous vibration. Most studies of RI are based on the uniform inflow, ignoring the influence of inlet distortions. This study investigates the mechanism of RI in a transonic rotor through full-annulus unsteady simulations, with a particular focus on the effects of boundary layer ingesting distortions. The results show that at the uniform inflow, the RI fluctuations with the broadband hump can be observed over a relatively wide mass flow rate range, and its origin can be attributed to the coupling effect between the tip leakage flow and shear layer instability. At the inlet distortions, the broadband hump only occurs with partial circumferential locations. This kind of flow phenomenon is defined as Partial Rotating Instability (PRI). The PRI only occurs in a narrower mass flow rate range in which the circumferential range of strong shear is sufficiently large and the self-induced unsteady effects are strong enough. Further, this study confirms that the averaged tip leakage flow axial momentum at the onset of RI or PRI is close, so it can be used as the parameter to determine whether RI or PRI occurs.
文摘A hydrodynamic model is used to study Kelvin-Helmholtz(KH)instability of the interface between two particle-laden inviscid fluids moving with two different uniform mean velocities.Explicit eigen-equation is derived to study the effect of suspended particles on the growth rate of KH instability.For dusty gases with negligible volume fraction of heavy particles and small particle-to-fluid mass ratio,the real and imaginary parts of leading-order asymptotic expression derived by the present model for the growth rate are shown to be identical to the earlier results derived by the classical Saffman model established for dusty gases.Beyond the known results,explicit leading-order asymptotic expressions for the effect of suspended particles on the growth rate are derived for several typical cases of basic interest.It is shown that the suspended particles can decrease or increase the growth rate of KH instability depending on the Stokes numbers of the particles and whether the particles are heavier or lighter than the clean fluid.Compared to the mass density of the clean fluid,our results based on leading-order asymptotic solutions show that heavier particles and lighter particles have opposite effects on the growth rate of KH instability,while the effect of neutrally buoyant particles on the growth rate of KH instability is negligible.

文摘We study the Rayleigh-Taylor instability(RTI)of electrostatic plane wave perturbations in compressible relativistic magnetoplasma fluids with thermal ions under gravity in three different cases of when(ⅰ)electrons are in isothermal equilibrium,i.e.,classical or nondegenerate,(ⅱ)electrons are fully degenerate(with Te=0),and(ⅲ)electrons are partially degenerate or have finite temperature degeneracy(with Te≠0).While in the cases of(ⅰ)and(ⅲ),we focus on the regimes where the particle's thermal energy is more or less than the rest mass energy,i.e.,βe≡kBTe/mec2<1or>1,the case(ⅱ)considers from weakly to ultra-relativistic degenerate regimes.A general expression of the growth rate of instability is obtained and analyzed in the three different cases relevant to laboratory and astrophysical plasmas,which generalize and advance the previous theory on RTI.

文摘A way to enhance the growth of stimulated Raman instability in laser-plasma interactions was investigated.This relies on the application of density modulation of a co-propagating electron beam in plasmas.In the stimulated Raman scattering process,an electromagnetic pump wave decays into a low-frequency wave and a scattered electromagnetic sideband wave.In this process,the pump wave produces an oscillatory velocity associated with the plasma electrons and the beam electrons.These oscillatory velocities combine with the existing low-frequency mode,producing ponderomotive force that drives high-frequency sideband waves.The sidebands couple to the pump wave,driving the beam-mode.A modulation of the electron beam density enhances the growth rate of the instability.The theoretical calculations show about 40%enhancements in growth of Raman instability at resonance(where the electron beam density modulation parameter approaches to unity)for the plasma density of the order of 10^(18)cm^(-3).

文摘In order to calculate the multipoles in real materials with considerable intersite Coulomb interaction V,we develop a self-consistent program which starts from the frst-principles calculations to solve the tight-binding Hamiltonian including onsite Coulomb repulsion U,V,and spin-orbital couplingλ.The program is applied to Ba_(2)MgReO_(6)to fgure out the mechanism of structural instability and magnetic ordering.A comprehensive quadrupole phase diagram versus U and V withλ=0.28 eV is calculated.Our results demonstrate that the easy-plane anisotropy and the intersite Coulomb repulsion V must be considered to remove the orbital frustration.The increase of V to>20 meV would arrange quadrupole Q_(x^(2)-y^(2))antiparallelly,accompanied by small parallel Q_(3z)^(2)-r^(2),and stabilize Ba_(2)MgReO_(6)into the body-centered tetragonal structure.Such antiparallel Q_(x^(2)-y^(2))provides a new mechanism for the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and gives rise to the canted antiferromagnetic(CAF)state along the[110]axis.Moreover,sizable octupoles such as O_(21)^(31),O_(21)^(33),O_(21)^(34)and O_(21)^(36)are discovered for the frst time in the CAF state.Our study not only provides a comprehensive understanding of the experimental results in Ba_(2)MgReO_(6),but also serves as a general and useful tool for the study of multipole physics in 5d compounds.

文摘To investigate the instability mechanisms of heterogeneous geological structures in goaf area roofs,three-point bending tests(TPBT)and numerical simulations are performed on composite coal-rock(CCR).Acoustic emission(AE)monitoring is employed to analyze key parameters,establishing a multiparameter quantitative system for CCR fracture processes.The impact of lithological homogeneity on fracture evolution and energy migration is examined.Results show that CCR exhibits a three-stage mechanical response:weak contact,strong contact,and post-peak stages,each with distinct crack evolution patterns.A positive correlation is found between lithological homogeneity and tensile crack proportion.No significant correlation is observed between AE average frequency(AF)and AE counts across different lithological CCR;however,peak frequency(PF)displays clear lithology-dependent characteristics.The regulatory effect of the rock homogeneity coefficient(φ)on crack deriva tion mechanisms is quantfied,yielding mathematical relationships between fracture strength(f),crack propagation path angle(β),crack fractal dimension(D),andφ.The study highlights how different fracture modes alter energy migration pathways,confirming the coupling effect of grain distribution on mechanical response and crack propagation,and the influence of parameterφon critical energy release zones.These findings offer new insights into CCR failure mechanisms for mining safety.

文摘A new type of localized oscillatory pattern is presented in a two-layer coupled reaction-diffusion system under conditions in which no Hopf instability can be discerned in either layer.The transitions from stationary patterns to asynchronous and synchronous oscillatory patterns are obtained.A novel method based on decomposing coupled systems into two associated subsystems has been proposed to elucidate the mechanism of formation of oscillating patterns.Linear stability analysis of the associated subsystems reveals that the Turing pattern in one layer induces the other layer locally,undergoes a supercritical Hopf bifurcation and gives rise to localized oscillations.It is found that the sizes and positions of oscillations are determined by the spatial distribution of the Turing patterns.When the size is large,localized traveling waves such as spirals and targets emerge.These results may be useful for deeper understanding of pattern formation in complex systems,particularly multilayered systems.

文摘The effect of drive laser wavelength on the growth of ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability(ARTI)in inertial confinemen fusion(ICF)is studied with two-dimensional numerical simulations.The results show that in the plasma acceleration phase,shorter wavelengths lead to more efficien coupling between the laser and the kinetic energy of the implosion fluid Under the condition that the laser energy coupled to the implosion flui is constant,the ARTI growth rate decreases as the laser wavelength moves toward the extreme ultraviolet band,reaching its minimum value near λ=65 nm,and when the laser wavelength continuously moves toward the X-ray band,the ARTI growth rate increases rapidly.It is found that the results deviate from the theoretical ARTI growth rate.As the laser intensity benchmark increases,the position of the minimum ARTI growth rate shifts toward shorter wavelengths.As the initial sinusoidal perturbation wavenumber decreases,the position of the minimum ARTI growth rate shifts toward longer wavelengths.We believe that the conclusions drawn from the present simulations and analysis will help provide a better understanding of the ICF process and improve the theory of ARTI growth.

文摘Hydrodynamic instability growth at the deuterium-tritium(DT)fuel-ablator interface plays a critical role in determining the performance of inertial confinement fusion implosions.During the late stages of implosion,insufficient doping of the ablator material can result in highenergy X-ray preheat,which may trigger the development of a classical-like Rayleigh-Taylor instability(RTI)at the fuel-ablator interface.In implosion experiments at the Shenguang 100 kJ-level laser facility,the primary source of perturbation is the roughness of the inner DT ice interface.In this study,we propose an analytical model to describe the feed-out process of the initial roughness of the inner DT ice interface.The perturbation amplitude derived from this model serves as the initial seed for the late-time RTI during the acceleration phase.Our findings confirm the presence of classical-like RTI at the fuel-ablator interface.Numerical simulations conducted using a radiation hydrodynamic code validate the proposed analytical model and demonstrate the existence of a peak mode number in both the feed-out process and the classical-like RTI.It provides an alternative bridge between the current target fabrication limitations and the unexpected implosion performance.

文摘Magneto-active soft materials,composed of hard-magnetic particles embedded in polymeric matrices,have found widespread applications in soft robotics,active metamaterials,and shape-morphing structures across various length scales due to their ability to undergo reversible,untethered,and rapid deformation in response to magnetic actuation.At small scales,surface effects play a crucial role in the mechanical behavior of these soft materials.In this paper,we theoretically investigate the influence of surface effects on the buckling instability and large deformation of magneto-active soft beams under a uniform magnetic field.The theoretical model is derived according to the principle of minimum potential energy and numerically solved with the finite difference method.By employing the developed theoretical model,parametric studies are performed to explore how surface effects influence the buckling instability and large deformation of magneto-active soft cantilever beams with varying geometric parameters under different uniform magnetic fields.Our results reveal that the influence of surface effects on the mechanical behavior of magneto-active soft beams depends not only on the geometric parameters but also on the magnetic field strength.Specifically,when the magnetic field strength is relatively small,surface effects reduce the deformation of magneto-active soft beams,particularly for beams with smaller thicknesses and larger length-to-thickness ratios.However,when the magnetic field strength is sufficiently large,and the beam's deformation becomes saturated,surface effects have little influence on the deformation.This work uncovers the role of surface effects in the mechanical behavior of magnetoactive soft materials,which could provide guidelines for the design and optimization of small-scale magnetic-active soft material-based applications.

文摘Objective:Lynch syndrome(LS)increases the risk of various cancers,including colorectal cancer,endometrial cancer and gastric cancer(GC).The incidence of LS among microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H)GC and their association in South Korea remains underexplored.This study investigates LS-associated pathogenic germline variants in MSI-H GC patients using whole-exome sequencing(WES)on normal tissues.Methods:This retrospective study included patients who underwent gastrectomy for GC at Soonchunhyang University Bucheon and Cheonan Hospitals from January 2011 to October 2023.Among 1,537 patients screened for MSI status,127(8.3%)were identified as MSI-H.WES was performed on normal tissues from 123 patients.Pathogenic/likely pathogenic(P/LP)variants in mismatch repair(MMR)genes were identified using in silico models and protein loss assessments in corresponding tumor tissues.Results:Of the 127 MSI-H GC cases,characteristics aligned with typical MSI-H GC.The average age was70.02 years,with 98(77.2%)located in the lower body and 81(63.8%)of the intestinal type.All five MSI markers were positive in 46.5%of cases,whereas four markers were positive in 27.6%.Of the MSI-H GCs,10 LS candidates were identified.Three patients had known P/LP variants[MLH1(c.1758dup),MSH6(c.3261dup),MSH2(c.1241T>C)].Seven patients had variants of unknown significance(VUS)in MMR genes.Six(4.9%)patients were identified as having LS or possible LS,including one patient with the MLH1(c.1153C>T)variant previously classified as VUS but now considered LS-associated.Conclusions:This large-scale screening for LS in MSI-H GC patients using retrospective samples confirmed the lower incidence of LS than those of colorectal or endometrial cancer and GC patients in Western countries,emphasizing the need for clinical consideration in managing MSI-H GC patients.

文摘The Richtmyer–Meshkov(RM)instability plays an important role in various natural and engineering fields such as inertial confinement fusion.In this study,the effect of relaxation time on the RM instability under reshock impact is investigated using a two-component discrete Boltzmann method.The hydrodynamic and thermodynamic characteristics of the fluid system are comprehensively analyzed from the perspectives of the density gradient,vorticity,kinetic energy,mixing degree,mixing width and non-equilibrium intensity.Simulation results indicate that for longer relaxation time,the diffusion and dissipation are enhanced,the physical gradients decrease,and the growth of the interface is suppressed.Furthermore,the non-equilibrium manifestations show complex patterns,driven by the competitive physical mechanisms of the diffusion,dissipation,shock wave,rarefaction wave,transverse wave and fluid instabilities.These findings provide valuable insight into the fundamental mechanism of compressible fluid flows.

文摘We use out-of-time order correlators(OTOCs)to investigate the quantum instability and Ehrenfest time for an inverted harmonic oscillator(IHO).For initial states located in the stable manifolds of the IHO we find that the corresponding OTOC exhibits identical evolutionary characteristics to the saddle point before the Ehrenfest time.For initial states located in the unstable manifolds,the OTOCs still grow exponentially but the time to maintain exponential growth is related to the center position of its wave packet in phase space.Moreover,we use the Husimi Q function to visualize the quantum wave packets during exponential growth of the OTOCs.Our results show that quantum instability exists at arbitrary orbits in the IHO system,and the Ehrenfest time in the IHO system depends not only on the photon number of the initial system but also on the central positions of the initial states in phase space.

文摘Background:The anterior talofibular ligament(ATFL)and the calcaneofibular ligament(CFL)are vulnerable to be torn or ruptured during lateral ankle sprain(LAS),especially in people with chronic ankle instability(CAI).This study aims to determine whether landing with a larger toe-out angle would influence ATFL and CFL strains in people with CAI,aiming to contribute to the development of effective landing strategies to reduce LAS risk.Methods:Thirty participants with CAI(22 males and 8 females,age:21.2±1.2 years,height:176.9±9.0 cm,body mass:70.6±12.1 kg,mean±SD)were recruited.Each participant landed on a specialized trap-door device with their unaffected limbs on a support platform and their affected limbs on a movable platform,which could be flipped 24°inward and 15°forward to mimic LAS conditions.Two landing conditions were tested—i.e.,natural landing(NL,with natural toe-out angle at landing)and toe-out landing(TL,with toe-out angle increased to over 150%of that under the NL conditions).Kinematic data were captured using a 12-camera motion analysis system,and ATFL and CFL strains were calculated using a 3D rigid-body foot model.Paired sample t tests and Pearson's correlations were used to analyze data.Results:Compared to NL conditions,ATFL strain decreased(p<0.001,d=2.42)while CFL strain remained unchanged(p=0.229,d=0.09)under TL conditions.The toe-out angle was negatively and strongly correlated with ATFL strain(r=-0.743,p<0.001)but not with CFL strain(r=0.153,p=0.251).Compared to NL conditions,participants exhibit a lower ankle inversion angle(p<0.001,d=0.494),a higher plantarflexion angle(p<0.001,d=1.101),and no significant difference in external rotation angle(p=0.571,d=0.133)under TL conditions.Conclusion:Toe-out landing may reduce ATFL strain while maintaining CFL strain in people with CAI,thereby reducing the risk of LAS.
