The ripple formation and evolution have been analyzed by CCD images and the asymmetric rippled bed is induced by the nonlinear wave flow. The flow structure and a complete process of vortex formation, evolvement and disappearance were observed on the asymmetric rippled bed under cnoidal waves. With the increasing nonlinearity of waves, which is an important factor in the sand ripple formation, the vortex intensity becomes stronger and shows different characteristics on both sides of the ripple crest. The vorticity and wave velocity reach their maximum values at different phase angles. The vortex value reaches the maximum value at a small phase angle with the increasing Ursell number. The near bed flow patterns are mainly determined by the ripple forms and the averaged longitudinal velocity over a wave period above the ripple trough and crest are positive, which indicates the possibility of significant onshore sediment transport and a corresponding ripple drift. The phase averaged vertical velocity has noticeable positive values near the bottom of the ripple crest and trough. Sediments may be lifted from the ripple surface, picked up in suspension by the local velocity, and deposited over the crest and on the lee of the ripples.展开更多

Even if the bed is smooth initially, disturbances arising from the bed or other external sources will cause the laminar flow in an open channel to become unstable as soon as the flow develops, thereby leading to the formation of sand ripples on the bed. In return, the formation of the sand ripples will modfy the instability path of the laminar flow passing over them. The wavy character of the bed will induce further instability of the flow, which is essentially different from that on a smooth bed: the neutral curve will move forward and the critical Reynolds number will decrease. The flow is unstable in response to a wider range of the disturbance wave number, or the laminar flow instability can happen more easily. The propagation speed of the sand ripples also affects the flow instability, since the stability of open channel flow over a movable bed is fundamentally different from that on a rigid bed. These instability effects are discussed in detail in this paper.展开更多

It is ...Effects of plasma equilibrium parameters on the alpha particle loss with the toroidal field ripple based on the CFETR steady-state scenario have been numerically investigated by the orbit-following code GYCAVA. It is found that alpha particle losses decrease and loss regions become narrower with the plasma current increasing or with the magnetic field decreasing. It is because the ripple stochastic transport and the ripple well loss of alpha particle are reduced with the safety factor decreasing. Decrease of the plasma density and temperature can reduce alpha particle losses due to enhancement of the slowing-down effect. The direction of the toroidal magnetic field can significantly affect heat loads induced by lost alpha particle. The vertical asymmetry of heat loads induced by the clockwise and counter-clockwise toroidal magnetic fields are due to the fact that the ripple distribution is asymmetric about the mid-plane, which can be explained by the typical orbits of alpha particle. The maximal heat load of alpha particle for the clockwise toroidal magnetic field is much smaller than that for the counter-clockwise one.展开更多

In order to construct a completely integrated control design philosophy to reduce torque ripple and at the same time to enhance tracking performance, the properties of nonlinear uncertainties in the system dynamics are uncovered, and then incorporated into the design of the controller. The system uncertainties concerned with ripple dynamics and other external disturbances are composed of two categories. The first category of uncertainties with linear parameterization arising from the detention effect is dealt with by the wellknown adaptive control method. A robust adaptive method is used to deal with the second category of uncertainties resulting from the non-sinusoidal flux distribution. The μ-modification scheme is used to cease parameter adaptation by the robust adaptive control law, thus ensuring that the trajectory tracking error asymptotically converges to a pre-specified boundary. Experiments are performed with a typical hybrid stepping motor to test its profile tracking accuracy. Results confirm the proposed control scheme.展开更多

文摘Purpose–This study aims to propose a novel identification method to accurately estimate linear and nonlinear dynamics in permanent magnet synchronous linear motor(PMSLM)based on the time-domain analysis of relay feedback.Design/methodology/approach–A mathematical model of the PMSLM-based servo-mechanical system was first established,incorporating the aforementioned nonlinearities.The model’s velocity response was derived by analyzing its behavior as a first-order system under arbitrary input.To induce oscillatory dynamics,an ideal relay with artificially introduced dead-time components was then integrated into the servo-mechanism.Depending on the oscillations and the time-domain analysis,nonlinear formulas were deduced according to the velocity response of the servo-mechanism.Afterwards,the unknown model parameters can be solved on account of the cost function which utilizes the discrepancy between nominal position characteristics and temporary position characteristics,both of which are extracted from the oscillations.The proposed recognition method was validated through a twostage process:(1)numerical simulation and calculation,followed by(2)real-time experimental verification on a direct-drive servo platform.Subsequently,leveraging the identification results,a novel control strategy was developed and its tracking performance was benchmarked against conventional control schemes.Findings–Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves estimation accuracy within 8%.Building on this,a novel control strategy is developed by incorporating both friction pulsation and force pulsation identification results into the feedforward compensator.Comparative experiments reveal that this strategy significantly enhances tracking and positioning performance over traditional control schemes.In a word,this new identification method can be used in different process control and servo control systems.Moreover,parameter auto-tuning,feed forward compensation or disturbance observer can be investigated based on the obtained information to improve the system stability and control accuracy.Originality/value–It is of great significance for the performance improvement of rail transit motor control equipment,such as electro-mechanical braking systems.By enhancing the efficiency of motor control,the performance of the product will be more outstanding.

文摘The bed of a river often features some kinds of bedform, such as sand ripples, dunes, and so on. Even if the bed is smooth initially, disturbances arising from the bed or other external sources will cause the laminar flow in an open channel to become unstable as soon as the flow develops, thereby leading to the formation of sand ripples on the bed. In return, the formation of the sand ripples will modfy the instability path of the laminar flow passing over them. The wavy character of the bed will induce further instability of the flow, which is essentially different from that on a smooth bed: the neutral curve will move forward and the critical Reynolds number will decrease. The flow is unstable in response to a wider range of the disturbance wave number, or the laminar flow instability can happen more easily. The propagation speed of the sand ripples also affects the flow instability, since the stability of open channel flow over a movable bed is fundamentally different from that on a rigid bed. These instability effects are discussed in detail in this paper.

文摘High-frequency oscillations(HFOs)encompass ripples(80 Hz–200 Hz)and fast ripples(200 Hz–600 Hz),serving as a promising biomarker for localizing the epileptogenic zone in epilepsy.Spontaneous fast ripples are always pathological,while ripples may be physiological or pathological.Distinguishing physiological from pathological ripples is important not only for designating epileptogenic brain regions,but also for investigations that study ripples in the context of memory encoding,consolidation,and recall in patients with epilepsy.Many studies have sought to identify distinguishing features between pathological and physiological ripples over the past two decades.Physiological and pathological ripples differ with respect to their spatial location,cellular mechanisms,morphology,and coupling with background electroencephalographic activity.Retrospective studies have demonstrated that differentiating between pathological and physiological ripples can improve surgical outcome prediction.In this review,we summarize the characteristics,differences,and applications of pathological and physiological HFOs and discuss strategies for their clinical translation.

文摘Vector-controlled AC motor drives utilize pulse width modulation(PWM)to synthesize the desired output voltage of the voltage source inverter(VSI).In space vector PWM(SVPWM)techniques,the average realization of the space vector applying the volt-sec balance principle results in an instantaneous error voltage that generates high frequency torque ripple.It may lead to an increase in motor vibration and acoustic noise.This article presents a high frequency torque ripple prediction model based on stator flux ripple and proposes a targeted designed variable switching frequency PWM(VSFPWM)strategy to diminish high frequency torque ripple.The switching frequency is dynamically adjusted according to the peak value of the predicted stator flux ripple to mitigate high frequency torque ripple.In contrast to existing strategies,the strategy outlined in this article directly suppresses high frequency torque ripple,thus remaining unaffected by inaccurate motor parameters.Additionally,due to the introduction of the power factor angle,the proposed strategy can better adapt to the full speed range operating conditions of the motor.Detailed simulations and experiments are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

文摘Effects of plasma equilibrium parameters on the alpha particle loss with the toroidal field ripple based on the CFETR steady-state scenario have been numerically investigated by the orbit-following code GYCAVA. It is found that alpha particle losses decrease and loss regions become narrower with the plasma current increasing or with the magnetic field decreasing. It is because the ripple stochastic transport and the ripple well loss of alpha particle are reduced with the safety factor decreasing. Decrease of the plasma density and temperature can reduce alpha particle losses due to enhancement of the slowing-down effect. The direction of the toroidal magnetic field can significantly affect heat loads induced by lost alpha particle. The vertical asymmetry of heat loads induced by the clockwise and counter-clockwise toroidal magnetic fields are due to the fact that the ripple distribution is asymmetric about the mid-plane, which can be explained by the typical orbits of alpha particle. The maximal heat load of alpha particle for the clockwise toroidal magnetic field is much smaller than that for the counter-clockwise one.

文摘A novel topology of modular ferrite magnet fluxswitching linear motor(FMFSLM)use for track transport is presented in this paper,which enables more ferrite magnets to be inserted into the primary iron core.The motor has a significant low-cost advantage in long-distance linear drive.The proposed FMFSLM’s structure and working principle were introduced.Further,the thrust force expression of the motor was established.The thrust force components triggering thrust force ripple were investigated,and their expressions can be obtained according to the inductances’Fourier series expressions.Resultantly,the relationship between the harmonics of thrust force and that of self-and mutual inductances was revealed clearly.Based on the relationship,a skewed secondary should be practical to reduce the thrust force ripple.Thus,the effect of employing a skewed secondary to the proposed FMFSLM was investigated,and an optimized skewing span distance was determined.Finite element analysis(FEA)was conducted to validate the exactness of the theoretical analysis.The simulation results indicate that the strategy of suppressing thrust force ripple has a significant effect.Meanwhile,the motor maintains a good efficiency characteristic.The results of the prototype experiment are in good agreement with FEAs,which further verifies the proposed modular interior FMFSLM’s practicability.

文摘Here,we introduce a partitioned design method that is oriented toward airgap harmonic for permanent magnet vernier(PMV)motors.The method proposes the utilization of airgap flux harmonics as an effective bridge between the torque design region and the torque performances.To illustrate the efficacy of this method,a partitioned design PMV motor is presented and compared with the initial design.Firstly,the torque design region of the rotor is artfully divided into the torque enhancement region and ripple reduction region.Meanwhile,the main harmonics that generate output torque are chosen and enhanced,optimization.Moreover,the harmonics that generate torque ripple are selected and reduced based on torque harmonics optimization.Finally,the functions of the partitioned PMV motor torque are assessed based on the finite element method.By the purposeful design of these two regions,the output torque is strengthened while torque ripple is inhibited effectively,verifying the effectiveness and reasonability of the proposed design method.
文摘In this manuscript,a new axial-flux permanentmagnet machine(AFPMM)is designed,analyzed,improved,and successfully tested.A double-sided AFPM generator with four layers of stator winding is initially designed using a well-known quasi-3D analytical method.Then,the designed machine is simulated using commercial software.It is shown that modification techniques are required to improve the performance of both the torque ripple and the ratio of the third to the fundamental harmonics of the induced voltage.Therefore,a new improvement technique is proposed,in which the layers of the stator winding are shifted relative to each other.While this new technique significantly improves the third harmonic problem,the design still has a high torque ripple and,thus,it is suggested to combine the proposed method with the conventional magnet shifting technique.It is revealed numerically that the resulting combination properly resolves both third harmonic and torque ripple problems.Therefore,this design is considered the main design of the present manuscript.In the end,a prototype of the main design is manufactured and tested.It is shown that the measurement results are in good agreement with those of numerical software.
文摘A robust adaptive control approach is presented to improve the performance of the control scheme proposed in the authors＇ previous work, aiming at producing a low ripple hybrid stepping motor servo drive for precision profile tracking at a low speed. In order to construct a completely integrated control design philosophy to reduce torque ripple and at the same time to enhance tracking performance, the properties of nonlinear uncertainties in the system dynamics are uncovered, and then incorporated into the design of the controller. The system uncertainties concerned with ripple dynamics and other external disturbances are composed of two categories. The first category of uncertainties with linear parameterization arising from the detention effect is dealt with by the wellknown adaptive control method. A robust adaptive method is used to deal with the second category of uncertainties resulting from the non-sinusoidal flux distribution. The μ-modification scheme is used to cease parameter adaptation by the robust adaptive control law, thus ensuring that the trajectory tracking error asymptotically converges to a pre-specified boundary. Experiments are performed with a typical hybrid stepping motor to test its profile tracking accuracy. Results confirm the proposed control scheme.
