This study addresses these complexities through an integrated methodological framework applied to medium-permeability sandstone reservoirs in the Xinjiang oilfield by combining advanced numerical simulations with multivariate regression analysis. The methodology employs Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to stratify geological parameter distributions and constructs heterogeneous reservoir models using Petrel software, rigorously validated through historical production data matching. Production forecasting integrates numerical simulation and Decline Curve Analysis (DCA), while investment estimation utilizes Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression to correlate engineering parameters with drilling and completion costs. Economic evaluation incorporates Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) modeling and breakeven analysis, establishing techno-economic boundaries via oil price sensitivity analysis ranging from USD 40 to 90 per barrel. Visualization tools, including 3D heatmaps, delineate nonlinear interactions among engineering, geological, and investment datasets under economic constraints. Key findings demonstrate that for the target reservoirs, as oil prices increase from USD 40 to USD 90 per barrel, the minimum economic thickness threshold decreases from approximately 5.7 m to about 2.5 m, with model prediction errors consistently below 25% across validation datasets. This framework provides scientifically grounded decision support for optimizing capital allocation and offers actionable insights to enhance undeveloped hydrocarbon development planning amid market uncertainty. Ultimately, it supports national energy security through technically robust and economically viable resource exploitation strategies.展开更多

文摘This study focuses on the thermal management of 4680-type cylindrical lithium-ion battery packs utilizing NCM811 chemistry.It establishes coupled multi-physics models for both immersion and serpentine cold plate cooling systems.Through a combination of numerical simulation and experimental validation,the technical advantages and mechanisms of immersion cooling are systematically explored.Simulation results indicate that under a 3C fast-charging condition(inlet temperature 20℃,flow rate 36 L/min),the immersion cooling structure 3demonstrates a triple enhancement in thermal performance compared to the cold plate structure 1:a 13.06%reduction in peak temperature,a 31.67%decrease in overall maximum temperature difference,and a 47.62%decrease in single-cell temperature deviation,while also reducing flow resistance by 33.61%.Furthermore,based on the immersion cooling model,a small battery module comprising seven cylindrical cells was designed for thermal runaway testing via nail penetration.The results show that the peak temperature of the triggered cell was limited to 437.6℃,with a controllable temperature rise gradient of only 3.35℃/s and a rapid cooling rate of 0.6℃/s.The maximum temperature rise of adjacent cells was just 64.8℃,effectively inhibiting thermal propagation.Post-test disassembly revealed that the non-triggered cells retained>99.2%of their original voltage and>99%structural integrity,confirming the module’s ability to achieve“localized failure with global stability.”

文摘UHMWPE fibers exhibit impressive modulus and strength,but they have not reached their theoretical limits.Researchers focus on molecular weight,orientation,and crystallinity of UHMWPE,yet their contributions to mechanical properties are unclear.Molecular dynamics simulations are valuable but often limited by computational constraints.Our aim is to simulate higher molecular weights to better represent real UHMWPE fibers.We used Packmol and Polyply methodologies to construct PE systems,with Polyply reproducing more reasonable properties of UHMWPE fibers.Additionally,tensile simulations showed that orientation and crystallinity greatly impact Young's modulus more than molecular weight.Energy decomposition indicated that higher molecular weights lead to covalent bonds that can withstand more energy during stretching,thus increasing breaking strength.Combining simulations with machine learning,we found that orientation has the most significant impact on Young's modulus,contributing 60%,and molecular weight plays the most crucial role in determining the breaking strength,accounting for 65%.This study provides a theoretical basis and guidelines for enhancing UHMWPE's modulus and strength.
文摘[Objective]Precipitation events caused by Super Typhoon Doksuri in Fujian Province were simulated and evaluated based on the WRF model to provide a reference for typhoon precipitation simulation and forecasting in southeast coastal areas of China.[Methods]The next-generation mesoscale numerical weather prediction model WRF V4.3(The Weather Research and Forecasting Model)was used to simulate the precipitation caused by Typhoon Doksuri in Fujian Province in 2023.Observations from 86 meteorological stations with hourly rainfall records were used to evaluate the model’s performance.Six evaluation indices were used,including the correlation coefficient(R),root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute error(MAE),equitable threat score(ETS),probability of detection(POD),and false alarm ratio(FAR).[Results](1)The temporal and spatial evolution of precipitation during Typhoon Doksuri was effectively captured by the WRF model.Precipitation intensity increased gradually from July 27 to 29,2023,with the heaviest rainfall concentrated in the northern and eastern coastal areas of Fujian Province.(2)Significant differences in model performance were observed in terms of R,RMSE,and MAE.The largest errors occurred in Putian City,while smaller errors were found in southwestern Fujian Province.The evaluation result of all six indices showed that the WRF model performed best in simulating daily precipitation compared to hourly,three-hourly,six-hourly,and twelve-hourly precipitation.(3)The R95p index indicated that the WRF model successfully captured the overall spatial distribution of extreme precipitation.However,extreme precipitation intensity was overestimated in certain coastal areas.(4)Despite accurately identifying the coastal regions of Fujian as being most affected,the WRF model failed to accurately simulate the spatial distribution and intensity of precipitation.The simulated precipitation centers showed discrepancies when compared with the observed centers.[Conclusion]Although the WRF model underestimated hourly precipitation,it successfully captured the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of rainfall caused by Typhoon Doksuri in Fujian Province.It reproduced the heavy rainfall centers in central Fujian Province,with daily precipitation peaks reaching up to 350 mm.This highlighted the severity of extreme rainfall caused by Typhoon Doksuri.

文摘Tearing modes may play an important role in the density limit disruption.The Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)code CLT with impurity modules is used to study the tearing mode excited and driven by impurity radiation.The impurity radiation can lead to plasma contraction and local enhancement of the current density.When the locally enhanced region of the current density approaches to the resonance surface,the tearing mode can be excited,even if the tearing mode is stable in the initial equilibrium.Through a scan of the initial atomic number(Z)and impurity concentrations,it is found that impurities with different Z values exhibit similar behaviors in the radiation-driven tearing mode.The impurity radiation can drive tearing mode growth through temperature cooling near the resonance surface,and there exists a linear relationship between the temperature perturbation caused by impurity radiation and the linear growth rate of the tearing mode.Additionally,the impurity can promote the growth of magnetic islands through the radiation cooling inside the magnetic island,and there exists a correlation between the initial parameters of impurity and the width of the saturated magnetic island.

文摘Stimuli-responsive polymers capable of rapidly altering their chain conformation in response to external stimuli exhibit broad applica-tion prospects.Experiments have shown that pressure plays a pivotal role in regulating the microscopic chain conformation of polymers in mixed solvents,and one notable finding is that increasing the pressure can lead to the vanishing of the co-nonsolvency effect.However,the mecha-nisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear.In this study,we systematically investigated the influence of pressure on the co-nonsolvency effect of single-chain and multi-chain homopolymers in binary mixed good-solvent systems using molecular dynamics simulations.Our results show that the co-nonsolvency-induced chain conformation transition and aggregation behavior significantly depend on pressure in allsingle-chain and multi-chain systems.In single-chain systems,at low pressures,the polymer chain maintains a collapsed state over a wide range of co-solvent fractions(x-range)owing to the co-nonsolvency effect.As the pressure increases,the x-range of the collapsed state gradually narrows,ac-companied by a progressive expansion of the chain.In multichain systems,polymer chains assemble into approximately spherical aggregates over a broad x-range at low pressures owing to the co-nonsolvency effect.Increasing the pressure reduces the x-range for forming aggregates and leads to the formation of loose aggregates or even to a state of dispersed chains at some x-range.These findings indicate that increasing the pressure can weaken or even offset the co-nonsolvency effect in some x-range,which is in good agreement with the experimental observations.Quantitative analysis of the radial density distributions and radial distribution functions reveals that,with increasing pressure,(1)the densities of both polymers and co-solvent molecules within aggregates decrease,while that of the solvent molecule increases;and(2)the effective interac-tions between the polymer and the co-solvent weaken,whereas those between the polymer and solvent strengthen.This enhances the incorpo-ration of solvent molecules within the chains,thereby weakening or even suppressing the chain aggregation.Our study not only elucidates the regulatory mechanism of pressure on the microscopic chain conformations and aggregation behaviors of polymers,but also may provide theo-retical guidance for designing smart polymericmaterials based on mixed solvents.

文摘The emerging two-dimensional(2D)membranes offer a promising way to improve the water desalination performance of traditional membranes.MXene/graphene oxide(GO) composite membrane are known for their high separation performance and structural stability.In this study,molecular simulations are performed to investigate the desalination performance of the 2D MXene/GO membrane.The results reveal that the surface of the MXene nanosheet could induce the formation of ordered water structures,thereby accelerating the water transport in the 2D membrane.The higher rejection rate would be found in MXene/GO membrane with a larger GO oxidation degree owing to the sterichindrance effect induced by the functional groups on the GO surface.Overall,the MXene/GO(20) membrane with the interlayer spacing of 0.9 nm shows the highest water permeability(37.22×10^(-7)L·m^(-1)·h^(-1)·bar^(-1),1 bar=0.1 MPa)and a salt rejection of 100%.The results could provide theoretical insights for developing 2D membranes for water desalination.

文摘This paper presents a numerical simulation of DC glow discharge at 2 Torr(1 Torr=1.33322×10~2 Pa)with a microhollow anode,using a two-dimensional(2D)PIC/MCC code to explore the impact of the hollow anode structure on discharge characteristics.Simulation results show that the plasma density in the anode channel decreases exponentially along the x-direction towards the outlet while the electric potential decreases linearly.The electron temperature,derived from the relationship between density and electric potential,shows a good agreement with the calculated temperature.The potential peak at the inlet,along with the grounded anode,forms a transverse potential well that draws electrons toward the center of the channel.The x-direction electric field,generated by the potential difference between the inlet and outlet of the anode,directs electrons toward the inlet of the anode.Low-energy electrons are confined within the potential well,while very few high-energy electrons outlet the channel.The hollow anode structure serves as a collimator for electrons,leading to an increment of moderate-velocity electron flux in the anode channel.Shortening the anode leads to a slower rate of density decrease,resulting in a higher density at the outlet.

文摘Hypersonic magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)control effectively enhances the aerothermal environment of aerospace vehicles,demonstrating considerable potential in plasma flow regulation and aerodynamic optimiza-tion.As aerospace vehicles progress toward mid-low-altitude hypersonic regimes,their external aerothermal conditions become increasingly severe.This study addresses the challenges of complex aerodynamic force/heat environments and the difficulties in MHD control numerical simulations for hypersonic vehicles at mid-low al-titudes.On the basis of the perfect gas model and the low magnetic Reynolds number assumption,we conduct numerical simulations of MHD control under mid-low altitudes,high-Mach-number conditions.The findings reveal the following:(1)the low magnetic Reynolds number assumption is valid and computationally accurate,as corroborated by a comparative analysis with the literature;(2)in the mid-low altitude hypersonic regime,magnetic fields significantly suppress the shock standoffdistance and reduce the surface heat flux.Both the mag-netically controlled shock wave and the thermal protection exhibit nonlinear variations with the Mach number,increasing and then decreasing as the Mach number increases.The optimal Mach number for shock wave control is 13,whereas optimal thermal protection is achieved at Mach 15.At an altitude of 40 km,the optimal magne-tohydrodynamic Mach range spans 13-17,achieving a maximum heat flux attenuation of 28.81%.Additionally,the effects of magnetic shock wave control correlate approximately exponentially with altitude within certain parameters,whereas the efficacy of thermal protection behaves linearly with altitude variations.
