With the blobs-splitting-and-merging scheme, the vortex merging is calculated by a corrected core spreading vortex method （CCSVM）. The particle motion in the vortex merging process is calculated according to the particle kinetic model. The results indicate that the particle traces are spiral lines with the same rotation direction as the spinning vortex. The center of the particle group is in agreement with that of the merged vortex. The merging time is determined by the circulation and the initial ratio of the vortex radius and the vortex center distance. Under a certain initial condition, a stretched particle trail is generated, which is determined by the viscosity, the relative position between the particles and the vortex, and the asymmetrical circulation of the two merging vortices.展开更多

It forms a gigantic seismic array that provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the Earth＇s deep interior besides its routine task of seismic monitoring. Many modern seismic studies rely on rotation of vertical and horizontal components in order to separate different types of seismic waves. Knowledge of the orientations of the two horizontal components thus is important to perform a correction rotation. We analyzed particle motions of teleseismic P waves recorded by the network and used them to estimate the northcomponent azimuth of each station. An SNR-weighted-multi-event method was introduced to obtain component azimuths that best explain the P-wave particle motions of all the events recorded at a station. The method provides robust estimates including a measurement error calculated from background noise levels. We found that about one third of the stations have some sort of problems, including misorientation of the two horizontal components, mislabeling and polarity reversal in one or more components. These problems need to be taken into account for any rotation based seismic studies.展开更多

In order to recognize further the collision process and the law of penetrating motion, with the spring-dashpot-slider contact model of the distinct element method （DEM）, a mathematical model which can describe the collision process has been established and a program for simulating the motion of a single particle on the screen plate developed by VC＋＋. NET. To evaluate the handling capacity of the screen that deals with difficult screening material, an instantaneous penetrating coefficient is defined. The moving period of the screen plate is divided into four stages. By analyzing the state of contact collision at each stage, it is pointed out that the collision ranging from 3π/2 to 2π period is the most favorable aperture for penetration of particles, while the collision ranging from π/2 to n period is the most unfavorable. The numerical simulation result further indicates that increasing the amplitude of the screen plate has a much greater effect on the augmentation of instantaneous penetration coefficient than increasing the vibration frequency.展开更多

To obtain a uniform distribution of TiC particles and excellent strengthening effect in 20%TiC/ZG270-500 composites fabricated by lost foam-squeeze casting （LFSC）, the particle motion behavior in the gas gap and the conditions of the particles getting into the molten steel were investigated. The results show that the airflow velocity （vl） and TiC particle motion velocity （up） change little with the pouring temperature （Tp）, increase with an increase in metal filling velocity （Vp）, ratios of cross sections of in-gate/orifice （AAAo） and orifice/mould cavity （AolAI）, but the increase trend of up is more intense. The airflow pressure （P1） changes little with Tp and Ao/A1, but increases with the increasing of vp and AJAo. Besides, there is a critical velocity （v ＋｜3YLG cosθ/ppdp｜1/2）for the particles getting into the molten steel. The higher the particle motion velocity, the easier the particles get into the molten steel and the more uniform the distribution of the particles in the steel matrix. When Tp = 1,873 K, vp = 30 mm.s-1, AJAo =10 and Ao/AI = 0.02 in this study, the biggest TiC particle motion velocity （20.59 m.s-~） can be gained, and the steel matrix with the most uniformly distributed TiC particles and fine grains are obtained.展开更多

Th...Fluid particles in translating surface gravity waves have an orbital motion which decreases in size with increasing mean depth. These wave characteristics came from observations and were not forecast theoretically. The classical potential flow model is incapable of explaining the particle movement due to the irrotational assumption and to a flaw in carrying out the method. When a wave passes by an observer from left to right, the particles move clockwise under a crest and a trough. This correct conclusion is consistent with what the incorrect standard theory implies but should not be considered to have been derived from it.展开更多

For comparison, the spherical cation exchange resins with a density of 1 44 g/cm\+3 and diameters ranging from 0 50—0 60 mm, 0 60—0 70 mm and 0 80—0 90 mm were selected as the experimental solid particles, and their moving velocities and trajectories in shear turbulent flows with the flow Reynolds number of 4710, 10240, 11900 and 20760 were investigated. The comparing analyses of the modeled results with the measured results have shown that the model developed in this paper can describe the motions of the particles in shear turbulent flow.展开更多

From this equation of motion, it is found that the motion of a spinning particle deviates from the geodesic trajectory, and this deviation originates from the coupling between the spin of the particle and gravitoelectromagnetic field, which is also the origin of Lense-Thirring effects. In post-Newtonian approximations, this equation gives the same results as those of Mathisson-Papapetrou equation. Effect of the deviation of geodesic trajectory is detectable.展开更多

It is shown that certain kinds of jumping behavior of the exerting electromagnetic field can lead to a type of noninvertible property, which changes this conservative system into a 'quasi-dissipative' one. The quasi-dissipative behaviors allow the particle to move along a confined chaotic 'quasi-attractor' in many regions of the parameter space. If the exerting electromagnetic field is discontinuous but the system is still invertible, it will take an unbounded chaotic diffusion with similar parameter values. We hope that this discovery could provide a helpful idea for confining the plasma.展开更多

The trajectory is in excellent agreement with the available experimental results. An analysis of the relative importance of the coefficients shows that the rotation effect cannot be neglected near the pore opening or near the wall, and that the lateral force effect must be taken into account in the neighborhood of the edge of the pore opening. It is due to neglecting these factors that previous theoretical results deviate from the experimental ones near the pore opening. The effects of the ratio of the particle to pore radii as well as the influences of the graritytbuoyance on the particle trajectory, velocity distribution and rotation are discnssed in detail. It is pointed out that in the experiments of neutrally-buoyant suspensions, the restriction on the density of the particle is most demanding for a large particle size.The expressions of forces and moments presenled herein are complete, relatively accurate and convenient, thus providing a good prerequisite for further studies of any problems involving the entrance of particles to a pare.展开更多

The d...The paper examines the change of the relativistic kinetic energy of a free particle due to the velocity change of the motion frame in a special case when this reduction leads to the kinetic energy equal to zero. The difference of velocities gives a functional dependent solely on the velocity frame and original velocity of the particle. An analysis applied to the functional gives simple formulae for the extremal values of the mentioned velocity parameters. In the next step, solutions of the equation presented with the functional provide us with the velocities necessary for the vanishing property of the kinetic energy. A characteristic point is that a condition of the velocity of the motion frame smaller than the velocity of light is obtained directly in the applied formalism. This property holds with no reference done to the well-known postulate of the dominant value of the light velocity entering the relativity theory.展开更多

文摘Exposing waxy oils to an electric field may significantly improve their cold flowability.Our previous study has shown that interfacial polarization,i.e.,charged particle accumulation on the wax particle surface,is the primary mechanism of the electrorheological behavior of waxy oils.However,the way that charged particles interact with wax particles under an electric field remains unknown.In this study,we found no viscosity and impedance change for two waxy crude oils after their exposure to a high-voltage electric field.However,the yield stresses were reduced obviously.We thus proposed that the collision of colloidal particles such as resins and asphaltenes with the wax particles could be an essential mechanism that the wax particle structure was weakened.To verify this hypothesis,a series of ad hoc experiments were carried out,i.e.,by performing electrorheological tests on model waxy oils containing additives removable under an electric field,including electrically-neutral colloidal particles(Fe3O4),charged colloidal particles(resins),and oil-soluble electrolyte(C22H14CoO4),respectively,and demonstrated that upon application of a high-voltage electric field,charged particles in a waxy oil may move and thus collide with wax particles,and consequently adhere to the wax particle surface.The particle collision results in damage to the wax particle network,and the electrostatic repulsion arising from the adhesion of the charged particle on the wax particle diminishes attraction between wax particles.This study clarifies the process of interfacial polarization.

文摘For a screening process, the collision and penetration phenomena between particles and screen plate is standard behavior and with collision the mechanical energy of the vibrating screen can be transmitted to the feed. In order to recognize further the collision process and the law of penetrating motion, with the spring-dashpot-slider contact model of the distinct element method （DEM）, a mathematical model which can describe the collision process has been established and a program for simulating the motion of a single particle on the screen plate developed by VC＋＋. NET. To evaluate the handling capacity of the screen that deals with difficult screening material, an instantaneous penetrating coefficient is defined. The moving period of the screen plate is divided into four stages. By analyzing the state of contact collision at each stage, it is pointed out that the collision ranging from 3π/2 to 2π period is the most favorable aperture for penetration of particles, while the collision ranging from π/2 to n period is the most unfavorable. The numerical simulation result further indicates that increasing the amplitude of the screen plate has a much greater effect on the augmentation of instantaneous penetration coefficient than increasing the vibration frequency.

文摘The particle motion behavior affects the distribution of particles in the metal matrix and finally determines the mechanical properties of the particle reinforced metal-matrix composites. To obtain a uniform distribution of TiC particles and excellent strengthening effect in 20%TiC/ZG270-500 composites fabricated by lost foam-squeeze casting （LFSC）, the particle motion behavior in the gas gap and the conditions of the particles getting into the molten steel were investigated. The results show that the airflow velocity （vl） and TiC particle motion velocity （up） change little with the pouring temperature （Tp）, increase with an increase in metal filling velocity （Vp）, ratios of cross sections of in-gate/orifice （AAAo） and orifice/mould cavity （AolAI）, but the increase trend of up is more intense. The airflow pressure （P1） changes little with Tp and Ao/A1, but increases with the increasing of vp and AJAo. Besides, there is a critical velocity （v ＋｜3YLG cosθ/ppdp｜1/2）for the particles getting into the molten steel. The higher the particle motion velocity, the easier the particles get into the molten steel and the more uniform the distribution of the particles in the steel matrix. When Tp = 1,873 K, vp = 30 mm.s-1, AJAo =10 and Ao/AI = 0.02 in this study, the biggest TiC particle motion velocity （20.59 m.s-~） can be gained, and the steel matrix with the most uniformly distributed TiC particles and fine grains are obtained.

文摘Solid contamination existing as solid particles in power fluid transmission systems may lead to transmission performance reduction,system failures,and component damage.The hydraulic reservoir will deposit the contamination and store hydraulic fluid.To investigate its purification ability for solid contamination,experiments and simulations for the motion and deposition status of the typical hydraulic system particles are carried out to reveal the interaction of particles and fluid in hydraulic water reservoirs.The results show that the CFD-DEM coupling method could predict the accurate deposition position of iron particles and sand particles when ignoring the small-scale turbulence effect in the flow field.Besides,the particle motion traces and deposition patterns in the reservoir illustrate that the flow development on the bottom surface results in the particles turning,and particles tend to settle in the low flow energy position.The motion of particles is also linked to particles Stokes number,and the same-size sand particles are easily driven by the fluid.The contribution of this paper could provide a guide for predicting the particle motion and deposition pattern in the hydraulic reservoir.
文摘Fluid particles in translating surface gravity waves have an orbital motion which decreases in size with increasing mean depth. These wave characteristics came from observations and were not forecast theoretically. The classical potential flow model is incapable of explaining the particle movement due to the irrotational assumption and to a flaw in carrying out the method. When a wave passes by an observer from left to right, the particles move clockwise under a crest and a trough. This correct conclusion is consistent with what the incorrect standard theory implies but should not be considered to have been derived from it.
文摘A new mathematical model, fluctuation spectrum random trajectory model (FSRTM) for the particle motion in environmental fluid was developed using Lagrangian method, in which the time mean velocity of the fluid was calculated by a time mean velocity formula for two dimensional homogeneous shear turbulent flows in open channel, the velocity fluctuation of the fluid was determined by Fourier expansion and fluctuation spectrum, and the particle motion equation was solved using Ronge Kutta method. For comparison, the spherical cation exchange resins with a density of 1 44 g/cm\+3 and diameters ranging from 0 50—0 60 mm, 0 60—0 70 mm and 0 80—0 90 mm were selected as the experimental solid particles, and their moving velocities and trajectories in shear turbulent flows with the flow Reynolds number of 4710, 10240, 11900 and 20760 were investigated. The comparing analyses of the modeled results with the measured results have shown that the model developed in this paper can describe the motions of the particles in shear turbulent flow.
文摘Based on the coupfing between the spin of a particle and gravitoelectromagnetic field, the equation of motion of a spinning test particle in gravitational field is deduced. From this equation of motion, it is found that the motion of a spinning particle deviates from the geodesic trajectory, and this deviation originates from the coupling between the spin of the particle and gravitoelectromagnetic field, which is also the origin of Lense-Thirring effects. In post-Newtonian approximations, this equation gives the same results as those of Mathisson-Papapetrou equation. Effect of the deviation of geodesic trajectory is detectable.

文摘The equation governing the motion of a quantum particle is considered in nonrelativistic non-commutative phase space. For this aim, we first study new Poisson brackets in non-commutative phase space and obtain the modified equations of motion. Next, using novel transformations, we solve the equation of motion and report the exact analytical solutions.

文摘Different types of models for describing the motion of a kicked ion were suggested and studied. It is shown that certain kinds of jumping behavior of the exerting electromagnetic field can lead to a type of noninvertible property, which changes this conservative system into a 'quasi-dissipative' one. The quasi-dissipative behaviors allow the particle to move along a confined chaotic 'quasi-attractor' in many regions of the parameter space. If the exerting electromagnetic field is discontinuous but the system is still invertible, it will take an unbounded chaotic diffusion with similar parameter values. We hope that this discovery could provide a helpful idea for confining the plasma.

文摘For any study ofa suspension entering a pore, the knowledge of the force and moment exerted on a solute particle in an arbitrary position outside the pore is essential, 'This paper for the first lime presents approximate analytical expressions (in closed form) of all the twelve force and moment coefficienis for a sphere outsied a circular orifice, on the basis of a number of discrete data computed by Yan et al(1987).These coefficients are then applied to calculate the trajectory and angular velocity of a spherical particle approaching the pore at zero Reynolds number. The trajectory is in excellent agreement with the available experimental results. An analysis of the relative importance of the coefficients shows that the rotation effect cannot be neglected near the pore opening or near the wall, and that the lateral force effect must be taken into account in the neighborhood of the edge of the pore opening. It is due to neglecting these factors that previous theoretical results deviate from the experimental ones near the pore opening. The effects of the ratio of the particle to pore radii as well as the influences of the graritytbuoyance on the particle trajectory, velocity distribution and rotation are discnssed in detail. It is pointed out that in the experiments of neutrally-buoyant suspensions, the restriction on the density of the particle is most demanding for a large particle size.The expressions of forces and moments presenled herein are complete, relatively accurate and convenient, thus providing a good prerequisite for further studies of any problems involving the entrance of particles to a pare.
文摘The paper examines the change of the relativistic kinetic energy of a free particle due to the velocity change of the motion frame in a special case when this reduction leads to the kinetic energy equal to zero. The difference of velocities gives a functional dependent solely on the velocity frame and original velocity of the particle. An analysis applied to the functional gives simple formulae for the extremal values of the mentioned velocity parameters. In the next step, solutions of the equation presented with the functional provide us with the velocities necessary for the vanishing property of the kinetic energy. A characteristic point is that a condition of the velocity of the motion frame smaller than the velocity of light is obtained directly in the applied formalism. This property holds with no reference done to the well-known postulate of the dominant value of the light velocity entering the relativity theory.
