In this model, the wind surface stress modulation is related to the modulation of ripple spectrum. The model results show that in the case of LW propagating in the wind direction with the wave age parameter of LW increasing, the area with enhanced shear stress shifts from the region near the LW crest on the upwind slope to the LW trough. With a smaller wave age parameter of LW, the ripple modulation has the maximum on the upwind slope in the vicinity of LW crest, while with a larger parameter the enhancement of ripple spectrum does not occur in that region. At low winds the amplitude of ripple modulation transfer function (MTF) is larger in the gravity wave range, while at moderate or high winds it changes little in the range from short gravity waves to capillary waves.展开更多

They can be smoothly linked in a horizontal line with the moving of XYZ stage by setting its velocity and the repetition rate of the laser. The ripple-to-ripple linking can also be realized through line-by-line scanning on a vertical level. The mechanism analysis shows that the seeding effect plays a key role in the linking of ripples.展开更多

From an analysis of the atomic configurations, two types of microscopic corrugations are identified, namely periodic ripples at room temperature and random ripples at high temperature. Two different kinds of ripple morphologies, each with a periodic structure, occur in the monolayer graphene due to the existence of a coincidence lattice between graphene and the SiC terminated surface （Si- or C-terminated surface）. The effect of temperature on microscopic ripple morphology is shown through analysing the roughness of the graphene. A temperature-dependent multiple bonding conjugation is also shown by the broad distribution of the carbon-carbon bond length and the bond angle in the rippled graphene on the SiC surface. These results provide atomic-level information about the rippled graphene layers or~ the two polar faces of the 6H-SiC substrate, which is useful not only for a better understanding of the stability and structural properties of graphene, but also for the study of the electronic properties of graphene-based devices.展开更多

For the same system parameters, the proposed control technique provides better voltage boost across the Z-source capacitor, DC-link, and also the AC output voltage than the traditional PWM. The ripples in the Z-network elements are found to be reduced by 75 % in the proposed modulation scheme with optimum harmonic profile in the AC output. Since the Zqnetwork requirement will be based on the ripple profile of the elements, the Z-network requirements can be greatly reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed modulation scheme has been simulated in Matlab/Simulink software and the results are validated by the experiment in the laboratory.展开更多

Precise control of drives is the main attribute in industries to optimize the performance and to increase its production rate. In motion control, the major considerations are the torque and speed ripples. Design of controllers has become increasingly complex to such systems for better management of energy and raw materials to attain optimal performance. Meager parameter appraisal results are unsuitable, leading to unstable operation. The rapid intensification of digital computer revolutionizes to practice precise control and allows implementation of advanced control strategy to extremely multifaceted systems. To solve complex control problems, model predictive control is an authoritative scheme, which exploits an explicit model of the process to be controlled. This paper presents a predictive control strategy by a neural network predictive controller based single phase induction motor drive to minimize the speed and torque ripples. The proposed method exhibits better performance than the conventional controller and validity of the proposed method is verified by the simulation results using MATLAB software.展开更多

The resulting sand ripples have the form that is flat on the upwind side and steep on the leeward,which is identical to the sand ripples in nature. We also realized the self-restoration process of three-dimensional sand ripples,which shows the correctness of the method of numerical simulation and the models of saltation and creeping. Finally,We analyzed the influence of sand ripples on the three-dimensional turbulent wind field,and found that due to the appearance and development of sand ripples,in the normal direction of ground there exists stronger energy exchange,and moreover,there is close correspondence between the forms of sand ripples and the vorticity close to the ground surface.展开更多

With the increase of the flow intensity, the bed forms will appear as sand ripples and dune in turn. Among these morphologies, the sand ripple scale is the smallest, which is generally symmetrical when it just appears, but as time goes on, the asymmetrical form gradually develops. Just because of this sand ripples asymmetry, it manifests the influence of the flow on the bed morphology and also the impact on the laminar flow dynamical process, especially the stability characteristics. The stability features of laminar flow on open channels with the asymmetrical sand ripples are discussed, and also the results on the symmetrical sand ripples are compared in detail.展开更多

The flow structurearound the vortex ripples can be modeled as 2D flow due to the geometry of the flow boundaries. Inthis paper, 2D Large-Eddy-Simulation (LES) method was used to predict the flow structure and thedynamic of vortex in the bottom layers under the action of the wave, the numerical simulationresults show a completely process of vortex formation, evolvement and disappearance. Based on thestudy of flow structure, the suspended sediment transport was modeled in present paper. Thesimulated sediment concentrations were compared to measurements from the literature. The agreementbetween the time averaged simulated concentration profiles and measurements is satisfactory. For ahigh setting velocity, the suspended sediment is confined to the vicinity of the bed, and it isdominated by the local bottom shear stress. For a small setting velocity, the suspension is moredominated by the characteristic of vortex. There are two suspended sediment transport peaks observedin the cross-section at the trough and crest in the half period, the second peak is due to theseparation bubble taking the sediment.展开更多

文摘A study is presented on the modulation of ripples induced by a long surface wave (LW) and a new theoretical modula-tion model is proposed. In this model, the wind surface stress modulation is related to the modulation of ripple spectrum. The model results show that in the case of LW propagating in the wind direction with the wave age parameter of LW increasing, the area with enhanced shear stress shifts from the region near the LW crest on the upwind slope to the LW trough. With a smaller wave age parameter of LW, the ripple modulation has the maximum on the upwind slope in the vicinity of LW crest, while with a larger parameter the enhancement of ripple spectrum does not occur in that region. At low winds the amplitude of ripple modulation transfer function (MTF) is larger in the gravity wave range, while at moderate or high winds it changes little in the range from short gravity waves to capillary waves.

文摘Using classical molecular dynamics and a simulated annealing technique, we show that microscopic corrugations occur in monolayer and bilayer graphene on 6H-SiC substrates. From an analysis of the atomic configurations, two types of microscopic corrugations are identified, namely periodic ripples at room temperature and random ripples at high temperature. Two different kinds of ripple morphologies, each with a periodic structure, occur in the monolayer graphene due to the existence of a coincidence lattice between graphene and the SiC terminated surface （Si- or C-terminated surface）. The effect of temperature on microscopic ripple morphology is shown through analysing the roughness of the graphene. A temperature-dependent multiple bonding conjugation is also shown by the broad distribution of the carbon-carbon bond length and the bond angle in the rippled graphene on the SiC surface. These results provide atomic-level information about the rippled graphene layers or~ the two polar faces of the 6H-SiC substrate, which is useful not only for a better understanding of the stability and structural properties of graphene, but also for the study of the electronic properties of graphene-based devices.

文摘EMC anechoic chamber is used for radiation emission and radiation immunity test,and the wireless performance of products needs to be tested in OTA anechoic chamber.With more and more electronic and electrical equipment with wireless communication function,the rapid construction of a compatible OTA test system in the existing EMC anechoic chamber can save the cost and space of enterprises and third-party laboratories that already have EMC anechoic chamber.In this paper,the OTA test system is built in the existing EMC anechoic room,the ripple calibration test is carried out according to the OTA standard,the TRP and TIS tests are carried out on two test samples with different wireless communication standards,and the test samples are taken to the OTA anechoic room for a comparison test.The comparison between the ripple calibration data and the OTA test data showed that the EMC anechoic chamber could perform OTA test without affecting the original test ability.The data results provide a basis for the implementation of EMC anechoic chamber compatibility upgrade OTA test,and provide reference for further optimization of the compatible test system,reduction of test differences,and the design of anechoic chamber integrating two test functions.

文摘Hydrodynamic instability growth at the deuterium-tritium(DT)fuel-ablator interface plays a critical role in determining the performance of inertial confinement fusion implosions.During the late stages of implosion,insufficient doping of the ablator material can result in highenergy X-ray preheat,which may trigger the development of a classical-like Rayleigh-Taylor instability(RTI)at the fuel-ablator interface.In implosion experiments at the Shenguang 100 kJ-level laser facility,the primary source of perturbation is the roughness of the inner DT ice interface.In this study,we propose an analytical model to describe the feed-out process of the initial roughness of the inner DT ice interface.The perturbation amplitude derived from this model serves as the initial seed for the late-time RTI during the acceleration phase.Our findings confirm the presence of classical-like RTI at the fuel-ablator interface.Numerical simulations conducted using a radiation hydrodynamic code validate the proposed analytical model and demonstrate the existence of a peak mode number in both the feed-out process and the classical-like RTI.It provides an alternative bridge between the current target fabrication limitations and the unexpected implosion performance.

文摘Ripples are widely formed in river channels and coastal regions, the bed-forms and vortex dynamics accompanied with them are quite important because they are responsible for frictions and sediment transports. The coherent vortex structure play a key role in the process, so how to model them is needed for understanding the formation process of sand ripples. In this paper, 2D Large-Eddy-Simulation (LES) was used to predict the flow structure and the dynamics of coherent vortex. The numerical results show a complete process of formation, evolvement and disappearance for the cases of unidire ctional and oscillatory flows over symmetic and asymmetric ripples
文摘Vortex ripple is widely formed in the coastal region, and the dynamic ofvortex is quite important because it is responsible for sediment transport. The flow structurearound the vortex ripples can be modeled as 2D flow due to the geometry of the flow boundaries. Inthis paper, 2D Large-Eddy-Simulation (LES) method was used to predict the flow structure and thedynamic of vortex in the bottom layers under the action of the wave, the numerical simulationresults show a completely process of vortex formation, evolvement and disappearance. Based on thestudy of flow structure, the suspended sediment transport was modeled in present paper. Thesimulated sediment concentrations were compared to measurements from the literature. The agreementbetween the time averaged simulated concentration profiles and measurements is satisfactory. For ahigh setting velocity, the suspended sediment is confined to the vicinity of the bed, and it isdominated by the local bottom shear stress. For a small setting velocity, the suspension is moredominated by the characteristic of vortex. There are two suspended sediment transport peaks observedin the cross-section at the trough and crest in the half period, the second peak is due to theseparation bubble taking the sediment.
