Multiscale techniques are often prohibitively expensive for large models, while neural networks struggle to represent underlying microscopic material properties. To overcome these challenges, a meso-micro scale numerical method using a virtual node approach is developed in this study. A Wbraid/Al/Epoxy functional structural material is fabricated, and a representative periodic unit cell is identified based on its architecture. The complex structure is then discretized into nodes, and mechanical interactions are governed by pre-defined computation rules. This virtual node method is systematically compared against both multiscale simulation and a neural network algorithm, with validation provided through mechanical experiments. The results demonstrate that the nodal operation strategy significantly reduces computational resource requirements. By quantifying microscopic bonding with coefficients, explicit interface treatment is avoided, granting the method strong adaptability to lattice materials. The method can simulate extremely complex structures using parameters from simple tests and is suited for large systems. Compared to three-point bending experiments, errors for multiscale, virtual node, and neural network methods were 12.4%, 6.9%, and 34.5%, respectively. Under dynamic compression, the errors were 2.7%, 9.3%, and 15.43%. The virtual node method demonstrated superior accuracy under static conditions, enabling efficient prediction and auxiliary development of complex structural materials.展开更多

A d...Asynchronous simulated moving bed chromatography (ASMBC), known also as the 'VARICOL' process, is more efficient and flexible than the well-known and traditional simulated moving bed chromatography (SMBC). A detailed model of ASMBC, taking account of non-linear competitive isotherms, mass transfer parameters, and complex port switching schedule parameters, was developed to simulate the complex dynamics of ASMBC.The simulated performance is in close agreement with the experimental data of chiral separation reported in the literature. The simulation results show that ASMBC can achieve the performance similar to SMBC with fewer columns and can achieve better performance than SMBC with the same total column number. All design and operation parameters can be chosen correctly by numerical simulation. This detailed ASMBC model and the numerical technique are useful for design, operation, optimization and scale-up of ASMBC.展开更多

文摘Based on the surrounding rock arching and hingeless arch structure theories,a theoretical formula for the minimum overburden thickness was derived.By substituting different mechanical parameters of multiple tunnels at home and abroad into this formula,minimum self-supporting arch formulas under different surrounding rock classes were obtained.Based on the actual engineering case of a dual-mode shield tunnel,a numerical model for the tunnel boring machine excavation mode was established to verify the theoretical formulas.Next,three surrounding rock classes,four soil layer thickness gradients,and twelve overburden thickness gradients were designed,resulting in 144 models formed by the combination of the three factors.Uniform tests were conducted,and the pressure arch heights under different surrounding rock classes were obtained.The results show that in the theoretical formulas,the tunnel radius has a linear positive correlation with the pressure arch height,while the tunnel depth has a linear positive correlation with the square of the pressure arch height.According to numerical simulation results,the pressure arch height increases with the increase of the overburden thickness and then tends toward a critical value of twice the tunnel diameter.Finally,the results of the numerical model are in good agreement with those calculated using the theoretical formulas,verifying the rationality of the established theoretical formulas.

文摘Geological CO_(2) storage is a promising strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and has become a growing focus of research and deployment.This paper presents numerical simulations of CO_(2) injection and storage in a depleted gas reservoir within the B Depression and evaluates associated CO_(2) trapping mechanisms.In the base case,a constant injection rate of 3500 m^(3)/d over fifteen years resulted in a cumulative injection of 19.2×10^(6) m^(3).The CO_(2) plume expanded radially during injection and subsequently migrated up-dip under buoyancy forces.The final stored mass of CO_(2) in the reservoir was 10.6 million tonnes(Mt),representing less than 10% of its theoretical capacity.The plume was projected to reach the entrapment crest and the top of the reservoir within a century,indicating secure long-term containment.Structural,stratigraphic,and residual trapping dominate in Reservoir A(approximately 90%).Anticlinal closures with thick overlying mudstones in the Zhujiang Formation provide effective seals,further enhancing storage security.Reservoir properties and heterogeneity play a crucial role in controlling CO_(2) storage.However,reservoir heterogeneity exerts only a limited influence when intrinsic properties are favorable.Overall,the study and implementation of CO_(2) capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS)in China's offshore basins show promising prospects.

文摘Burden is one of the main parameters in blast design.However,field tests,either single-or multi-hole blasts,used to determine an appropriate burden,are difficult to capture crack propagation,evolution of breakage angle,and the mechanism governing these processes in the rock.In this study,a single-hole bench blasting model is developed using LS-DYNA software to comprehensively investigate the relationship between burden and rock breakage.The simulation results show that the breakage angle decreases with the increase in burden,and the blasted volume reaches a peak value with a burden of 4 m.Meanwhile,backbreak distance increases with increasing burden.The optimum burden in this simulation is found to be 4.0 m,as the ratio of burden to blasthole diameter is equal to 20.62 and the ratio of burden to bench height is 0.44,based on a comprehensive analysis of the blasted volume,average damage,and total damage.Under the optimum burden condition,tensile stress wave regions are simultaneously generated at the free surfaces of both the bench top and bench slope,allowing more effective utilization of the two free surfaces and resulting in a more uniform damage distribution within the burden region.

文摘Machine learning-assisted methods for rapid and accurate prediction of temperature field,mushy zone,and grain size were proposed for the heating−cooling combined mold(HCCM)horizontal continuous casting of C70250 alloy plates.First,finite element simulations of casting processes were carried out with various parameters to build a dataset.Subsequently,different machine learning algorithms were employed to achieve high precision in predicting temperature fields,mushy zone locations,mushy zone inclination angle,and billet grain size.Finally,the process parameters were quickly optimized using a strategy consisting of random generation,prediction,and screening,allowing the mushy zone to be controlled to the desired target.The optimized parameters are 1234℃for heating mold temperature,47 mm/min for casting speed,and 10 L/min for cooling water flow rate.The optimized mushy zone is located in the middle of the second heat insulation section and has an inclination angle of roughly 7°.
文摘Existing numerical methods for complex composites, such as multiscale simulation and neural network algorithms, face significant limitations. Multiscale techniques are often prohibitively expensive for large models, while neural networks struggle to represent underlying microscopic material properties. To overcome these challenges, a meso-micro scale numerical method using a virtual node approach is developed in this study. A Wbraid/Al/Epoxy functional structural material is fabricated, and a representative periodic unit cell is identified based on its architecture. The complex structure is then discretized into nodes, and mechanical interactions are governed by pre-defined computation rules. This virtual node method is systematically compared against both multiscale simulation and a neural network algorithm, with validation provided through mechanical experiments. The results demonstrate that the nodal operation strategy significantly reduces computational resource requirements. By quantifying microscopic bonding with coefficients, explicit interface treatment is avoided, granting the method strong adaptability to lattice materials. The method can simulate extremely complex structures using parameters from simple tests and is suited for large systems. Compared to three-point bending experiments, errors for multiscale, virtual node, and neural network methods were 12.4%, 6.9%, and 34.5%, respectively. Under dynamic compression, the errors were 2.7%, 9.3%, and 15.43%. The virtual node method demonstrated superior accuracy under static conditions, enabling efficient prediction and auxiliary development of complex structural materials.

文摘Energy shortage has become one of themost concerning issues in the world today,and improving energy utilization efficiency is a key area of research for experts and scholars worldwide.Small-diameter heat exchangers offer advantages such as reduced material usage,lower refrigerant charge,and compact structure.However,they also face challenges,including increased refrigerant pressure drop and smaller heat transfer area inside the tubes.This paper combines the advantages and disadvantages of both small and large-diameter tubes and proposes a combined-diameter heat exchanger,consisting of large and small diameters,for use in the indoor units of split-type air conditioners.There are relatively few studies in this area.In this paper,A theoretical and numerical computation method is employed to establish a theoretical-numerical calculation model,and its reliability is verified through experiments.Using this model,the optimal combined diameters and flow path design for a combined-diameter heat exchanger using R32 as the working fluid are derived.The results show that the heat transfer performance of all combined diameter configurations improves by 2.79%to 8.26%compared to the baseline design,with the coefficient of performance(COP)increasing from 4.15 to 4.27~4.5.These designs can save copper material,but at the cost of an increase in pressure drop by 66.86%to 131.84%.The scheme IIIH,using R32,is the optimal combined-diameter and flow path configuration that balances both heat transfer performance and economic cost.

文摘Focusing on the unclear mechanism of aerodynamic interference in overlapping rotors of heavy-load electric vertical take-off and landing(eVTOL)aircraft,this paper aims to reveal the aerodynamic interference characteristics and flow field evolution laws of overlapping rotor configurations in hovering conditions through numerical simulation methods.The research method involves constructing a computational model for rotor flow fields and aerodynamic characteristics based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)equations and the Spalart-Allmaras(S-A)turbulence model.The dynamic simulation of rotor rotational motion was achieved by using the moving nested grid technology.The reliability of the computational method was ensured through the grid independence verification and the comparison with experimental data.The research results indicate that in overlapping rotor systems,rotorⅡexperiences a decrease in thrust,significant power fluctuations,and reduced hovering efficiency due to continuous interference from the adjacent rotor’s wake and blade-vortex interactions.Blade-tip vortices undergo breakage,fusion,and secondary rolling in the overlapping region,forming large-scale turbulent structures that lead to attenuation of the induced velocity field and aerodynamic efficiency losses.Additionally,the interaction between the rotor downwash and the fuselage triggers a“fountain effect”and a sudden increase in surface pressure on the fuselage,exacerbating flow field distortion.Based on the aforementioned mechanisms,the safe flight of overlapping rotor configurations can be achieved by optimizing the configuration strategy of the rotational speed phase difference between adjacent blades.This study provides a theoretical basis for the rotor layout design and the aerodynamic performance enhancement of heavy-load eVTOL aircraft.

文摘Asynchronous simulated moving bed chromatography (ASMBC), known also as the 'VARICOL' process, is more efficient and flexible than the well-known and traditional simulated moving bed chromatography (SMBC). A detailed model of ASMBC, taking account of non-linear competitive isotherms, mass transfer parameters, and complex port switching schedule parameters, was developed to simulate the complex dynamics of ASMBC.The simulated performance is in close agreement with the experimental data of chiral separation reported in the literature. The simulation results show that ASMBC can achieve the performance similar to SMBC with fewer columns and can achieve better performance than SMBC with the same total column number. All design and operation parameters can be chosen correctly by numerical simulation. This detailed ASMBC model and the numerical technique are useful for design, operation, optimization and scale-up of ASMBC.

文摘In addition to being driven by tidal winds,the sporadic E(Es)layers are modulated by gravity waves(GWs),although the effects are not yet comprehensively understood.In this article,we discuss the effects of mesoscale GWs on the Es layers determined by using a newly developed model,MISE-1D(one-dimensional Model of Ionospheric Sporadic E),with low numerical dissipation and high resolution.Driven by the wind fields resolved by the high-resolution version of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere and ionosphere extension(WACCM-X),the MISE-1D simulation revealed that GWs significantly influence the evolution of the Es layer above 100 km but have a very limited effect at lower altitudes.The effects of GWs are diverse and complex,generally including the generation of fluctuating wavelike structures on the Es layer with frequencies similar to those of the GWs.The mesoscale GWs can also cause increases in the density of Es layers,or they can disperse or diffuse the Es layers and increase their thickness.In addition,the presence of GWs is a key factor in sustaining the Es layers in some cases.

文摘This study investigates the flexural performance of ultra-high performance concrete(UHPC)in reinforced concrete T-beams,focusing on the effects of interfacial treatments.Three concrete T-beam specimens were fabricated and tested:a control beam(RC-T),a UHPC-reinforced beam with a chiseled interface(UN-C-50F),and a UHPC-reinforced beam featuring both a chiseled interface and anchored steel rebars(UN-CS-50F).The test results indicated that both chiseling and the incorporation of anchored rebars effectively created a synergistic combination between the concrete T-beam and the UHPC reinforcement layer,with the UN-CS-50F exhibiting the highest flexural resistance.The cracking load and ultimate load of UN-CS-50F were 221.5%and 40.8%,respectively,higher than those of the RC-T.Finite element(FE)models were developed to provide further insights into the behavior of the UHPCreinforced T-beams,showing a maximumdeviation of just 8%when validated against experimental data.A parametric analysis varied the height,thickness,andmaterial strength of the UHPC reinforcement layer based on the validated FE model,revealing that increasing the UHPC layer thickness from 30 to 50 mm improved the ultimate resistance by 20%while reducing the UHPC reinforcement height from 440 to 300 mm led to a 10%decrease in bending resistance.The interfacial anchoring rebars significantly reduced crack propagation and enhanced stress redistribution,highlighting the importance of strengthening interfacial bonds and optimizing geometric parameters ofUHPCfor improved T-beam performance.These findings offer valuable insights for the design and retrofitting of UHPC-reinforced bridge girders.

文摘Hydrogen displays the potential to partially replace pulverized coal injection(PCI)in the blast furnace,and it can reduce CO_(2)emissions.In this paper,a three-dimensional mathematical model of hydrogen and pulverized coal co-injection in blast furnace tuyere was established through numerical simulation,and the effect of hydrogen injection and oxygen enrichment interaction on pulverized coal combustion and raceway smelting was investigated.The simulation results indicate that when the coal injection rate decreased from 36 to 30t/h and the hydrogen injection increased from 0 to 3600 m^(3)/h,the CO_(2)emissions decreased from 1860 to 1551 kg/t,which represents a16.6%reduction,and the pulverized coal burnout decreased from 70.1%to 63.7%.The heat released from hydrogen combustion can not only promote the volatilization of pulverized coal but also affect the combustion reaction between volatilization and oxygen,which resulted in a decrease in the temperature at the end of the raceway.Co-injection of hydrogen with PCI increased the wall temperature near the upper half part of the raceway and at the outlet of the tuyere,which required a high cooling efficiency to extend the service life of the blast furnace.The increase in oxygen level compensated for the decreased average temperature in the raceway due to hydrogen injection.The increase in the oxygen content by 3%while maintaining constant hydrogen and PCI injection rates increased the burnout and average raceway temperature by 4.2%and 43 K,respectively.The mole fraction of CO and H_(2) production increased by 0.04 and 0.02,respectively.Burnout can be improved through optimization of the particle size distribution of pulverized coal.

文摘Bedding parallel stepped rock slopes exist widely in nature and are used in slope engineering.They are characterized by complex topography and geological structure and are vulnerable to shattering under strong earthquakes.However,no previous studies have assessed the mechanisms underlying seismic failure in rock slopes.In this study,large-scale shaking table tests and numerical simulations were conducted to delineate the seismic failure mechanism in terms of acceleration,displacement,and earth pressure responses combined with shattering failure phenomena.The results reveal that acceleration response mutations usually occur within weak interlayers owing to their inferior performance,and these mutations may transform into potential sliding surfaces,thereby intensifying the nonlinear seismic response characteristics.Cumulative permanent displacements at the internal corners of the berms can induce quasi-rigid displacements at the external corners,leading to greater permanent displacements at the internal corners.Therefore,the internal corners are identified as the most susceptible parts of the slope.In addition,the concept of baseline offset was utilized to explain the mechanism of earth pressure responses,and the result indicates that residual earth pressures at the internal corners play a dominant role in causing deformation or shattering damage.Four evolutionary deformation phases characterize the processes of seismic responses and shattering failure of the bedding parallel stepped rock slope,i.e.the formation of tensile cracks at the internal corners of the berm,expansion of tensile cracks and bedding surface dislocation,development of vertical tensile cracks at the rear edge,and rock mass slipping leading to slope instability.Overall,this study provides a scientific basis for the seismic design of engineering slopes and offers valuable insights for further studies on preventing seismic disasters in bedding parallel stepped rock slopes.

文摘The graded density impactor(GDI)dynamic loading technique is crucial for acquiring the dynamic physical property parameters of materials used in weapons.The accuracy and timeliness of GDI structural design are key to achieving controllable stress-strain rate loading.In this study,we have,for the first time,combined one-dimensional fluid computational software with machine learning methods.We first elucidated the mechanisms by which GDI structures control stress and strain rates.Subsequently,we constructed a machine learning model to create a structure-property response surface.The results show that altering the loading velocity and interlayer thickness has a pronounced regulatory effect on stress and strain rates.In contrast,the impedance distribution index and target thickness have less significant effects on stress regulation,although there is a matching relationship between target thickness and interlayer thickness.Compared with traditional design methods,the machine learning approach offers a10^(4)—10^(5)times increase in efficiency and the potential to achieve a global optimum,holding promise for guiding the design of GDI.
