文摘With the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources into the grid,distribution networks are increasingly challenged by issues related to renewable energy accommodation and the mainte-nance of power quality stability.To address the challenge that existing partitioning methods are inad-equate for the planning and operation needs of active distribution networks under frequently changing power flow conditions,a three-stage dynamic partitioning approach is proposed based on an im-proved sand cat swarm optimization(ISCSO)algorithm.Firstly,a comprehensive dynamic partitio-ning index is developed by integrating both structural and functional metrics,including modularity,voltage regulation capability,and regional renewable energy accommodation capacity.Secondly,to overcome the limitations of the conventional sand cat swarm optimization,namely its weak global ex-ploration ability and tendency to fall into local optima in the later optimization stages,chaotic map-ping is employed to initialize a uniformly distributed population.A nonlinear sensitivity mechanism is introduced to balance global exploration and local exploitation,alongside the design of a particle encoding and position updating scheme tailored for dynamic partitioning.Furthermore,a‘state re-tention-local adjustment-global reconstruction’partitioning structure is developed.To avoid unnec-essary partition changes under minor source-load fluctuations,the concept of overlapping nodes is introduced,enabling fine-tuned adjustments under such conditions.Finally,two experimental sce-narios are designed to validate the proposed method.Simulation results demonstrate strong electrical coupling performance and show that the method enhances voltage regulation and renewable energy integration capabilities across regions.

文摘The implicit partition algorithm used to solve fluid–structure coupling problems has high accuracy,but it requires a long computation time.In this paper,a semi-implicit fluid–structure coupling algorithm based on modal force prediction-correction is proposed to improve the computational efficiency.In the pre-processing stage,the fluid domain is assumed to be a pseudo-elastic solid and merged with the solid domain to form a holistic system,and the normalized modal information of the holistic system is calculated and stored.During the sub-step cycle,the modal superposition method is used to obtain the response of the holistic system with the predicted modal force as the load,so that the deformation of the structure and the updating of the fluid mesh can be achieved simultaneously.After solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in the fluid domain,the predicted modal force is corrected and a new sub-step cycle is started until the converged result is obtained.In this method,the computation of the fluid equations and the updating of the dynamic mesh are done implicitly,while the deformation of the structure is done explicitly.Two numerical cases,vortex induced oscillation of an elastic beam and fluid–structure interaction of a final stage blade,are used to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.The results show that the proposed method achieves the same accuracy as the implicit method while the computational time is reduced.In the case of the vortex-induced oscillation problem,the computational time can be reduced to 18.6%.In the case of the final stage blade vibration,the computational time can be reduced to 53.8%.

文摘The multifunctional integration system(MFIS)is based on a common hardware platform that controls and regulates the system’s configurable parameters through software to meet dif-ferent operational requirements.Dwell scheduling is a key for the system to realize multifunction and maximize the resource uti-lization.In this paper,an adaptive dwell scheduling optimization model for MFIS which considers the aperture partition and joint radar communication(JRC)waveform is established.To solve the formulated optimization problem,JRC scheduling condi-tions are proposed,including time overlapping condition,beam direction condition and aperture condition.Meanwhile,an effec-tive mechanism to dynamically occupy and release the aperture resource is introduced,where the time-pointer will slide to the earliest ending time of all currently scheduled tasks so that the occupied aperture resource can be released timely.Based on them,an adaptive dwell scheduling algorithm for MFIS with aperture partition and JRC waveform is put forward.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has better com-prehensive scheduling performance than up-to-date algorithms in all considered metrics.

文摘Achieving efficient adsorption and separation of C_(2)H_(2)/CO_(2)mixtures is a goal that people have always pursued to improve the situation of high energy consumption brought by traditional separation technologies in industry today.High-nuclearity metal cluster-based MOFs with different functionalities are promising for this separation,but it is a complicated and difficult task to precisely control their structures.The strategy of pore-space partition(PSP)is a powerful way to construct this type MOFs,which has the characteristic of isostructural relationship,and can be resulted in a similar performance for them.Therefore,it is an interesting work to explore the effect of MOFs property by adjusting the size of PSP dividers.Herein,three tetranuclear Cu(Ⅱ)cluster-based MOFs(FJU-112/113/114)with dual functionalities has been successfully obtained by PSP strategy with various lengths of divider units.With the highest microporosity and unique functional site,FJU-114 realized a good improvement in the adsorption and separation performance of C_(2)H_(2)/CO_(2).The gas adsorption and lab-scale C_(2)H_(2)/CO_(2)breakthrough experiments demonstrated that FJU-114 exhibits the highest adsorption uptake of 77 cm^(3)/g for C_(2)H_(2),and shows the best separation factor of 4.2 among three MOFs.The GCMC simulation reveals that a stronger adsorption binding site of C_(2)H_(2)in FJU-114a located in the cage II near the unchanged tetranuclear copper node,combined with its high microporosity to achieve the effect of dual functionalities for the improvement performance of C_(2)H_(2)adsorption and separation.

文摘The correlation between the microstructure,properties,and strain partitioning behavior in a medium-carbon carbide-free bainitic steel was investigated through a combination of experiments and representative volume element simulations.The results reveal that as the austempering temperature increases from low to intermediate,the optimal balance of properties shifts from strength-toughness to plasticity-toughness.The formation of fine bainitic ferrite plates and bainite sheaves under low austempering temperature(270℃)enhances both strength and toughness.Conversely,the wide size and shape distribution of the retained austenite(RA)obtained through austempering at intermediate temperature(350℃)contribute to increased work-hardening capacity,resulting in enhanced plasticity.The volume fraction of the ductile film-like RA plays a crucial role in enhancing impact toughness under relatively higher austempering temperatures.In the simulations of tensile deformation,the concentration of equivalent plastic strain predominantly manifests in the bainitic ferrite neighboring the martensite,whereas the equivalent plastic strain evenly spreads between the thin film-like retained austenite and bainitic ferrite.It is predicted that the cracks will occur at the interface between martensite and bainitic ferrite where the strain is concentrated,and eventually propagate along the strain failure zone.

文摘Two-phase partitioning bioreactors(TPPBs)have been widely used because they overcome the mass-transfer limitation of hydrophobic volatile organic compounds(VOCs)in waste gas biological treatments.Understanding the mechanisms of mass-transfer enhancement in TPPBs would enable efficient predictions for further industrial applications.In this study,influences of gradually increasing silicone oil ratio on the TPPB was explored,and a 94.35%reduction of the n-hexane partition coefficient was observed with 0.1 vol.%silicone,which increased to 80.7%along with a 40-fold removal efficiency enhancement in the stabilised removal period.The elimination capacity increased from 1.47 to 148.35 g/(m^(3)·h),i.e.a 101-fold increase compared with that of the single-phase reactors,when 10 vol.%(3 Critical Micelle Concentration)silicone oil was added.The significantly promoted partition coefficient was the main reason for the mass transfer enhancement,which covered the negative influences of the decreased total mass-transfer coefficient with increasing silicone oil volume ratio.The gradually rising stirring rate was benefit to the n-hexane removal,which became negative when the dominant resistance shifted from mass transfer to biodegradation.Moreover,a mass-transfer-reaction kinetic model of the TPPB was constructed based on the balance of n-hexane concentration,dissolved oxygen and biomass.Similar to the mechanism,the partition factor was predicted sensitive to the removal performance,and another five sensitive parameters were found simultaneously.This forecasting method enables the optimisation of TPPB performance and provides theoretical support for hydrophobic VOCs degradation.

文摘The successful application of perimeter control of urban traffic system strongly depends on the macroscopic fundamental diagram of the targeted region.Despite intensive studies on the partitioning of urban road networks,the dynamic partitioning of urban regions reflecting the propagation of congestion remains an open question.This paper proposes to partition the network into homogeneous sub-regions based on random walk algorithm.Starting from selected random walkers,the road network is partitioned from the early morning when congestion emerges.A modified Akaike information criterion is defined to find the optimal number of partitions.Region boundary adjustment algorithms are adopted to optimize the partitioning results to further ensure the correlation of partitions.The traffic data of Melbourne city are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed partitioning method.

文摘Strong and ductile Al alloys and their suitable design strategy have long been desired in selective laser melting(SLM).This work reports a non-equilibrium partitioning model and a correspondingly designed Al–7.5Mg–0.5Sc–0.3Zr–0.6Si alloy.This model effectively quantifies the influence of Mg and Si on hot cracking in aluminum alloy by considering the non-equilibrium partitioning under high cooling rates in SLM.The designed Al–7.5Mg–0.5Sc–0.3Zr–0.6Si alloy exhibits no hot cracks and achieves a remarkably enhanced strength–ductility synergy(a yield strength of(412±8)MPa and a uniform elongation of(15.6±0.6)%),superior to previously reported Al–Mg–Sc–Zr and Al–Mn alloys.A tensile cracking model is proposed to explore the origin of the improved ductility.Both the non-equilibrium partitioning model and the novel Al–7.5Mg–0.5Sc–0.3Zr–0.6Si alloy offers a promising opportunity for producing highly reliable aluminum parts through SLM.

文摘In large-scaleWireless Rechargeable SensorNetworks(WRSN),traditional forward routingmechanisms often lead to reduced energy efficiency.To address this issue,this paper proposes a WRSN node energy optimization algorithm based on regional partitioning and inter-layer routing.The algorithm employs a dynamic clustering radius method and the K-means clustering algorithm to dynamically partition the WRSN area.Then,the cluster head nodes in the outermost layer select an appropriate layer from the next relay routing region and designate it as the relay layer for data transmission.Relay nodes are selected layer by layer,starting from the outermost cluster heads.Finally,the inter-layer routing mechanism is integrated with regional partitioning and clustering methods to develop the WRSN energy optimization algorithm.To further optimize the algorithm’s performance,we conduct parameter optimization experiments on the relay routing selection function,cluster head rotation energy threshold,and inter-layer relay structure selection,ensuring the best configurations for energy efficiency and network lifespan.Based on these optimizations,simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms traditional forward routing,K-CHRA,and K-CLP algorithms in terms of node mortality rate and energy consumption,extending the number of rounds to 50%node death by 11.9%,19.3%,and 8.3%in a 500-node network,respectively.

文摘In the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum(NISQ)era,a single quantum processing unit(QPU)is insufficient to implement large-scale quantum algorithms;this has driven extensive research into distributed quantum computing(DQC).DQC involves the cooperative operation of multiple QPUs but is concurrently challenged by excessive communication complexity.To address this issue,this paper proposes a quantum circuit partitioning method based on spectral clustering.The approach transforms quantum circuits into weighted graphs and,through computation of the Laplacian matrix and clustering techniques,identifies candidate partition schemes that minimize the total weight of the cut.Additionally,a global gate search tree strategy is introduced to meticulously explore opportunities for merged transfer of global gates,thereby minimizing the transmission cost of distributed quantum circuits and selecting the optimal partition scheme from the candidates.Finally,the proposed method is evaluated through various comparative experiments.The experimental results demonstrate that spectral clustering-based partitioning exhibits robust stability and efficiency in runtime in quantum circuits of different scales.In experiments involving the quantum Fourier transform algorithm and Revlib quantum circuits,the transmission cost achieved by the global gate search tree strategy is significantly optimized.

文摘The size of basalt fragments in Chang’E-5(CE-5)regolith are small(<6 mm^(2)),resulting in large variation on the estimated bulk composition of CE-5 basalt.For example,the estimated TiO_(2) content of CE-5 basalt ranges from 3.7 wt% to 12.7 wt% and the Mg#(molar percentage of Mg/[Mg+Fe])also shows a wide range(26.2-42.4).Preliminary experimental studies have shown that these geochemical characteristics of CE-5 basalt are critical for investigating the crystallization sequence and formation mechanism of its parent magma.This study presents new experimental data on the distribution coefficient of titanium between pyroxene and lunar basaltic magma(D_(Ti)^(Px/melt)).Combining with available literature data,we confirm that D_(Ti)Px/melt is affected by crystallization conditions such as pressure and temperature,but it is mainly controlled by the CaO content of pyroxene.Comparing with previous experimental results under similar conditions,we parameterized the effect as D_(Ti)^(Px/Melt)=D_(Ti)^(Px/Melt)=-0.0005X_(Cao)^(2)+0.0218X_(CaO)+0.0425(R^(2)=0.82),where X_(CaO) is the CaO content in pyroxene in weight percentage.The new experimental results suggest that pyroxene with high TiO_(2) content(>2.5 wt%)in CE-5 basalt is not a product of equilibrium crystallization,and the CaO content in pyroxene is also affected by cooling rate of its parent magma.The TiO_(2) content in the CE-5 parent magma is estimated to be about 5 wt% based on the Mg# of pyroxene and its calculated CaO content,which is consistent with those estimated from olivine grains.

文摘Dynamic transformation(DT)of austenite(γ)to ferrite(α)in the hot deformation of various carbon steels was widely investigated.However,the nature of DT remains unclear due to the lack of quantitative analysis of stress partitioning between two phases and the uncertainty of local distribution of substitu-tional elements at the interface in multi-component carbon steels used in the previous studies.Therefore,in the present study,a binary Fe-Ni alloy withα+γduplex microstructure in equilibrium was prepared and isothermally compressed inα+γtwo-phase region to achieve a quantitative analysis of microstruc-ture evolution,stress partitioning,and thermodynamics during DT.γtoαDT during isothermal compres-sion andαtoγreverse transformation on isothermal annealing under unloaded condition after deforma-tion were accompanied by Ni partitioning.The lattice strains during thermomechanical processing were obtained via in-situ neutron diffraction measurement,based on which the stress partitioning behavior betweenγandαwas discussed by using the generalized Hooke’s law.A thermodynamic framework for the isothermal deformation in solids was established based on the basic laws of thermodynamics,and it was shown that the total Helmholtz free energy change in the deformable material during the isothermal process should be smaller than the work done to the deformable material.Under the present thermody-namic framework,the microstructure evolution in the isothermal compression of Fe-14Ni alloy was well explained by considering the changes in chemical free energy,plastic and elastic energies,and the work done to the material.In addition,the stabilization of the softαphase in Fe-14Ni alloy by deformation was rationalized since theγtoαtransformation decreased the total Helmholtz free energy by decreasing the elastic and dislocation energies.

文摘It is commonly recognized that the cooling rate has a substantial effect on solute partitioning and its resultant microsegregation during solidification.The classical dendrite tip undercooling theory clarifies the mitigation of microsegregation by increasing the cooling rate.However,most of the studies focused on binary alloys,leaving an open question as to whether the microsegregation of different solutes in a multi-component alloy system exhibits a relieving degree similar to increasing cooling rate.Taking a widely used 6022-type Al alloy(Al-0.76Mg-0.93Si-0.2Fe)as a model alloy,the current study reveals that the microsegregation of Mg gets alleviated to the greatest extent,followed by those of Si and Fe when the cooling rate increases from 5 to 128 K/s.This phenomenon is attributed to the solute-based difference in response to partitioning to cooling rate(denoted as Rk).We propose a theoretical equation to quantify Rk,and the R_(k)values of solute Mg,Si,and Fe successfully explain the rank of solute partitioning in exper-iments.Furthermore,a broad range of R_(k)values of other commonly used alloying elements in Al alloys were calculated and ranked,delivering a handy tool to predict the microsegregation behavior and sol-ubility of different solute elements upon sub-rapid solidification,which is consistent with experimental observation.This framework can also be extended to other multi-component alloy systems.

文摘Critical zone(CZ)plays a vital role in sustaining biodiversity and humanity.However,flux quantification within CZ,particularly in terms of subsurface hydrological partitioning,remains a significant challenge.This study focused on quantifying subsurface hydrological partitioning,specifically in an alpine mountainous area,and highlighted the important role of lateral flow during this process.Precipitation was usually classified as two parts into the soil:increased soil water content(SWC)and lateral flow out of the soil pit.It was found that 65%–88%precipitation contributed to lateral flow.The second common partitioning class showed an increase in SWC caused by both precipitation and lateral flow into the soil pit.In this case,lateral flow contributed to the SWC increase ranging from 43%to 74%,which was notably larger than the SWC increase caused by precipitation.On alpine meadows,lateral flow from the soil pit occurred when the shallow soil was wetter than the field capacity.This result highlighted the need for three-dimensional simulation between soil layers in Earth system models(ESMs).During evapotranspiration process,significant differences were observed in the classification of subsurface hydrological partitioning among different vegetation types.Due to tangled and aggregated fine roots in the surface soil on alpine meadows,the majority of subsurface responses involved lateral flow,which provided 98%–100%of evapotranspiration(ET).On grassland,there was a high probability(0.87),which ET was entirely provided by lateral flow.The main reason for underestimating transpiration through soil water dynamics in previous research was the neglect of lateral root water uptake.Furthermore,there was a probability of 0.12,which ET was entirely provided by SWC decrease on grassland.In this case,there was a high probability(0.98)that soil water responses only occurred at layer 2(10–20 cm),because grass roots mainly distributed in this soil layer,and grasses often used their deep roots for water uptake during ET.To improve the estimation of soil water dynamics and ET,we established a random forest(RF)model to simulate lateral flow and then corrected the community land model(CLM).RF model demonstrated good performance and led to significant improvements in CLM simulation.These findings enhance our understanding of subsurface hydrological partitioning and emphasize the importance of considering lateral flow in ESMs and hydrological research.
