The puff model is based on a general technique for solving the K-equation, using the truncated Gram-Charlier expansion (type A) of the concentration field and finite set equations for the corresponding moments. The other model (named ADMM: Analytical Dispersion Multilayers Model) is an semi- analytical solution to the time-dependent two-dimensional advection-diffusion equation based on a discretization of the PBL in N sub-layers;in each sub-layers the advection-diffusion equation is solved by the Laplace transform technique, considering an average value for eddy diffusivity and the wind speed. A preliminary performance evaluation is shown in the case of continuous emission from an elevated source in a variable boundary layer. Both models were able to correctly reproduce the concentration field measured and so to be used as operative air pollution models.展开更多

文摘In deep coal mining,surrounding rock is subjected to both high in-situ stress and intense mining disturbances,leading to significant time-dependent behavior.Accurately capturing this behavior is essential for predicting long-term roadway stability,necessitating the development of a reliable constitutive creep model and numerical simulation approach.In this study,creep experiments were conducted on pre-damaged rock with varying initial damage levels to investigate the time-dependent mechanical properties.Based on the experimental results,an accelerated-creep criterion was proposed,and an elastic-viscoplastic creep damage model(EVPCD)was established that simultaneously considers the effects of time-dependent damage and instantaneous damage caused by stress disturbances on rock creep behavior.Subsequently,the effectiveness of the proposed creep model was verified using experimental data,and the secondary development of the EVPCD model was completed based on the FLAC3D platform.Following this,a long-term stability analysis method of deep surrounding rock that accounts for excavation-and mining-induced disturbances was proposed.Using the main roadway of Xutuan Coal Mine as a case study,numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the time-dependent deformation and failure characteristics of the surrounding rock following excavation and mining disturbance.Combined with on-site monitoring of the surrounding rock damage areas,the results indicate that the EVPCD outperforms the CVISC and Nishihara models in predicting the time-dependent behavior of deep surrounding rock.

文摘This study investigates the dimensionless quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity(QG-PV)equation with external sources.Employing the Gardner-Morikawa transformation and weakly nonlinear perturbation expansion,we derive the nonlinear Boussinesq equation with external sources.We demonstrate the existence of explicit zero-order and first-order Wronskian solutions for the model equation whenα_4=0.Furthermore,using a modified Jacobi elliptic function method,we obtain soliton-like solutions for bothα_4=0 andα_4≠0.Analysis of these solutions reveals that the generalizedβ-plane approximation and shear flow are significant factors in inducing nonlinear Rossby waves,and that external sources play a crucial role in influencing Rossby wave behavior.

文摘A multi-stage stress relaxation test was performed on a granodiorite sample to understand the deformation process prior to the macroscopic failure of brittle rocks,as well as the transient response during stress relaxation.Distributed optical fiber sensing was used to measure strains across the sample surface by helically wrapping the single-mode fiber around the cylindrical sample.Close agreement was observed between the circumferential strains obtained from the optical fibers and the extensometer.The reconstructed full-field strain contours show strain heterogeneity from the crack closure phase,and the strains in the later deformation phase are dominantly localized within the former high-strain zone.The Gini coefficient was used to quantify the degree of strain localization and shows an initial increase during the crack closure phase,a decrease during the linear elastic phase,and a subsequent increase during the post-yielding phase.This behavior corresponds to a process of initial localization from an imperfect boundary condition,homogenization,and eventual relocalization prior to the macroscopic failure of the sample.The transient strain rate decay during the stress relaxation phase was quantified using the p-value in the“Omori-like"power law function.A higher initial stress at the onset of relaxation results in a lower p-value,indicating a slower strain rate decay.As the sample approaches macroscopic failure,the lowest p-value shifts from the most damaged zone to adjacent areas,suggesting stress redistribution or crack propagation in deformed crystalline rocks under stress relaxation conditions.

文摘Let A be a 3×3 singular or diagonalizable matrix,all solutions to the Yang-Baxter-like matrix equation have been determined.However,finding all solutions for full rank,non-diagonalizable matrices remains challenging.By utilizing classification techniques,we establish all solutions of the Yang-Baxter-like matrix equation in this paper when the coefficient matrix A is similar to non-diagonalizable matrix diag(λ,J_(2)(λ))withλ̸=0.More specifically,we divide the non-diagonal elements of the solution into 10 different cases.By discussing each situation,we establish all solutions of the Yang-Baxter-like matrix equation.The results of this work enrich the existing ones.

文摘This paper is concerned with an initial boundary value problem for the planar magnetohydrodynamic compressible flow with temperature dependent heat conductivity in a half-line.In particular,the transverse magnetic field is assumed to satisfy the Neumann boundary condition,which was first investigated by Kazhikhov in 1987.We establish the global existence of the unique strong solutions to the MHD equations without any smallness conditions on the initial data.More precisely,our result can be regarded as a natural generalization of Kazhikov’s result for applying the constant heat-conductivity in bounded domains to the degenerate case in unbounded domains.

文摘Composite resin restorations are routinely exposed to acidic and chromogenic beverages that may alter their surface integrity over time.This in-vitro study evaluated the surface roughness behavior of two universal single-shade(Unishade)composites and two conventionalmulti-shade composites following immersion in commonly consumed staining solutions and assessed whether repolishing could restore smoothness after degradation.A total of 120 standardized disc specimens were fabricated and allocated to fourmaterial groups,with each group subdivided into distilled water,cola,and coffee immersion subgroups.Surface roughness was recorded at baseline,after one week,after one month,and following a final repolishing step using a standardized multi-step system.The findings demonstrated that Unishade composites exhibited more stable surface characteristics across all immersion periods,with changes consistently remaining below the threshold associated with biofilm accumulation.Conventional composites showed greater variability,particularly in cola,where roughness values increased significantly compared with distilled water and coffee.Repolishing substantially reduced immersion-induced roughness in all materials,although its effectiveness varied depending on composite formulation and beverage acidity.Cola produced the greatest surface alterations across all groups,highlighting the erosive potential of low-pH beverages.These results indicate that Unishade composites possess superior resistance to surface degradation,likely due to their nano-structured filler configuration and less hydrophilic resin matrices,while conventional materials appear more susceptible to acidic challenge.Within the limitations of this study,selecting surface-stable material types and applying appropriate finishing and repolishing protocols may enhance the long-term performance and esthetics of composite restorations.

文摘The use of Al-V alloys as intermediate additives is pivotal for producing high-performance Ti alloys.Traditionally,the synthesis of these alloys relies on high-purity V_(2)O_(5),with sodium metavanadate as an essential intermediate in V_(2)O_(5)production.This study explores an alternative approach utilizing sodium metavanadate directly,offering an aluminothermic process to alleviate the environmental impact and reduce the time required for V_(2)O_(5)preparation.Al-V alloys are synthesized using sodium metavanadate derived from a shale V-rich solution,and the impurity-migration behaviors are comprehensively analyzed,specifically focusing on Fe,Al,and Na.The result sreveal that Al interacts with CaO to form a slag phase that is different from the alloy,whereas Na undergoes a sequence of reductions (NaVO_(3)→Na_(2)V_(2)O_(5)→NaVO_(2)→Na)and volatilizes at 25-1200℃,thereby avoiding incorporation into the alloy.Fe,reduced by Al,enriches the alloy phase and induces a phase transition(Al-V→Al-Fe→Fe-V)in the presence of excess Fe.Sodium metavanadate(Fe≤0.05wt%)derived from the shale V-rich solution enables the production of a uniform AlV65 alloy with 66.56wt%V,33.14wt%Al,0.08wt%Fe,0.07wt%C,0.02wt%N,and 0.12wt%O.These results establish a streamlined,efficient framework for the future preparation of Al-V alloys from shale V-rich solutions.
文摘Community-pioneered Nature-based Solutions(NbS)have become the main strategies in climate adaptation,although the evidence of their effectiveness and the governing conditions is still fragmented across hazards,ecosystems,and disciplines.The current review is a synthesis of the worldwide empirical research based on the concept of community-led NbS,meaning those interventions where communities have significant decision-making power and responsibility concerning the design,stewardship,sharing of benefits,and learning.On a taxonomy that differentiates between proximal ecosystem functionality and hazard modulation and distal human vulnerability reduction,and procedural,distributional,and recognition justice,we systematize the evidence-based findings according to hazardecosystem-intervention type(coastal storms and sea-level rise,flooding,drought and water insecurity,urban heat,and emerging compound risks)and we compare the outcomes.The results are reported to have the co-benefits of biodiversity gain,livelihood diversification,and better well-being,though they can be neutralized by elite capture,exclusion,tenure insecurity,as well as,in cities,green gentrification and displacement.The analysis of governance indicates repeating bundles related to longer-lasting and fairer results:hedge rights and tenure,community-enforceable and legitimizing representation institutions,financing institutions with longer horizons of maintenance and active adaptation,protection,and grievance,ethical supervision,and data governance.Our findings conclude that to scale community-led NbS,we need to switch the targets of areas to the target of governance quality and design of evaluation that would connect a change in the ecosystem to lived risk reduction and distributional change.
文摘Circumlunar abort trajectories constitute a vital contingency return strategy during the translunar phase of crewed lunar missions.This paper proposes a methodology for constructing the solution set of the circumlunar abort trajectory and leverages its advantageous properties to address the optimization design problem of abort trajectories.Initially,a solution set of all feasible abort trajectories,originating from an abort point on the nominal trajectory and complying with fundamental reentry constraints,is formulated through the introduction of two novel design parameters.Subsequently,the geometric characteristics of the solution set,as well as the distributional properties of key iterative constraint responses,including flight time and velocity increment,are analyzed.Finally,the characteristics exhibited in the solution set are employed to directly identify the design parameters of the abort trajectories with minimum flight time and velocity increment,thereby providing solutions to two distinct types of optimization problems.The simulation results for a variety of nominal trajectories,encompassing the reconstruction and redesign of the Apollo13 abort trajectory,validate the proposed method,demonstrating its ability to directly generate optimal abort trajectories.The method proposed in this paper investigates feasible abort trajectories from a global perspective,providing both a framework and convenience for mission planning and iterative optimization in abort trajectory design.

文摘Strong seismic excitation and fault dislocation are likely to occur simultaneously in high-intensity seismic zones,causing severe damage to tunnels crossing active fault zones.This paper aims to develop a novel analytical solution to determine the longitudinal mechanical responses of tunnels subjected to the combined effects of seismic waves and strike-slip faulting.Adopting the elastic springbeam model,the seismic waves are modelled as shear horizontal(SH)waves and the fault dislocation follows an S-shaped pattern;the superposition principle for free-fielddisplacements caused by both effects is assumed.In addition,the transmission and reflectionof seismic waves at the fault-rock geological interface and the tangential contact conditions at the tunnel-rock interface are considered.The analytical model is validated against numerical simulations,confirmingits accuracy in calculating tunnel responses.Moreover,a parametric study is conducted to evaluate the impact of key factors,including fault displacement,fault zone width,fault dip angle,earthquake frequency,rock conditions,tunnel lining stiffness,and tangential contact conditions,on tunnel responses.Compared with each effect alone,the combined effects of seismic waves and strike-slip faulting significantlychange the tunnel deformation and internal forces,leading to increased tunnel responses,especially within the fault zone and near the fault-rock interfaces.Depending on specificparameters,tunnel responses can be classifiedinto seismic-dominated,faulting-dominated,and seismic-faulting coupled responses on the basis of the relative contributions of each effect.The proposed analytical solution can be applied to quickly predict the longitudinal mechanical behaviour of tunnels under such combined effects in engineering applications.
