The definition of higher order SU(1,1) squeezing is introduced in terms of higher order uncertainty relation. For two possible bosonic realizations of SU(1,1) Lie algebra, the second , fourth and sixth order SU(1,1) squeezing are examined in detail. It is shown that the SU(1,1) generalized coherent states can be squeezed to not only second order, but also fourth and sixth order. Hence, it follows that the higher order squeezing will occur for the fluctuations of the square of amplitude in squeezed vacuum. SU(1,1) higher order squeezing is a kind of non classical property which is independent of second order squeezing.展开更多

Under soft soil foundation conditions, the process of squeezing silt by riprap is implemented to enhance bearing capacity through soft soil replacement and compaction. However, predicting the depth law of squeezing silt by riprap and understanding its mechanism remain significant engineering design challenges.This study employs particle flow code(PFC) based on the discrete element method to simulate the squeezing silt process by riprap, examining variations in depth law under different geological conditions and its mechanical characteristics.Through calibration of the PFC model's meso-parameters via macro-experiments, the study analyzes the effects of riprap size, drop height, and soft soil properties on the depth law of squeezing silt. Findings demonstrate that riprap drop height and soft soil thickness substantially influence the depth, while appropriate calibration of meso-parameters enhances simulation accuracy. This research contributes theoretical and practical guidance for optimizing rubble mound breakwater design, understanding squeezing silt mechanisms, construction practices, and riprap quantity estimation.展开更多

Both the deterministic method and the Monte Carlo(MC) method can be used to solve the higher-order modes. However, MC method, compared to the deterministic method, faces challenges in terms of computational efficiency and α mode calculation stability, whereas the deterministic method encounters issues arising from homogenization-related geometric and energy spectra adaptation.Based on the higher-order mode diffusion calculation code HARMONY, we developed a new higher-order mode calculation code, HARMONY2.0, which retains the functionality of computing λ and α higher-order modes from HARMONY1.0, but enhances the ability to treat complex geometries and arbitrary energy spectra using the MC-deterministic hybrid two-step strategy. In HARMONY2.0, the mesh homogenized multigroup constants were obtained using OpenMC in the first step,and higher-order modes were then calculated with the mesh homogenized core diffusion model using the implicitly restarted Arnoldi method(IRAM), which was also adopted in the HARMONY1.0 code. In addition, to improve the calculation efficiency, particularly in large higher-order modes, event-driven parallelization/domain decomposition methods are embedded in the HARMONY2.0 code to accelerate the inner iteration of λ∕α mode using OpenMP. Furthermore, the higher-order modes of complex geometric models, such as Hoogenboom and ATR reactors for λ mode and the MUSE-4 experiment facility for the prompt α mode, were computed using diffusion theory.展开更多

文摘We are concerned with a Camassa-Holm type equation with higher-order nonlinearity including some integrable peakon models such as the Camassa-Holm equation,the Degasperis-Procesi equation,and the Novikov equation.We show that all the horizontal symmetric waves for this equation must be traveling waves.This extends the previous results for the Camassa-Holm and Novikov equations.
