In the proposed model, an unstructured finite element model （FEM） based Boussinesq equations is applied for the numerical wave simulation, and a 2D piston-type wavemaker is used for the physical wave generation. An innovative scheme combining fourth-order Lagrange interpolation and Runge-Kutta scheme is described for solving the coupling equation. A Transfer function modulation method is presented to minimize the errors induced from the hydrodynamic invalidity of the coupling model and/or the mechanical capability of the wavemaker in area where nonlinearities or dispersion predominate. The overall performance and applicability of the coupling model has been experimentally validated by accounting for both regular and irregular waves and varying bathymetry. Experimental results show that the proposed numerical scheme and transfer function modulation method are efficient for the data transfer from the numerical model to the physical model up to a deterministic level.展开更多

The ...The uneven distribution of medical resources has led to increasingly frequent patient mobility;however, the interaction between this phenomenon and the healthcare supply-demand relationship remains underexplored. The present study constructed the 2023Cross-City Patient Mobility Network in China using one million patient mobility data records obtained from online healthcare platforms. We applied urban network analysis to uncover mobility patterns and used the coupling coordination degree model to assess healthcare supply-demand relationships before and after patient mobility. Explainable machine learning further revealed the impact of supply-demand coupling on patient mobility. The results indicated the following: Patient mobility followed administrative boundaries, although megacities serve areas beyond provincial borders;The scale of healthcare supply and demand displayed a multi-centric spatial pattern with a general decline from east to west, and these characteristics of demand distribution were further solidified by patient mobility;Cities with low supply-demand coupling and undersupply experienced patient outflows, while cities with high coupling and oversupply attracted them. In turn, patient mobility helped balance healthcare supply and demand, optimising the coupling relationship across cities. Thus, this research not only provides a methodological reference for understanding the interaction between patient mobility and healthcare systems but also offers empirical insights for public health policy.展开更多

It is indicated that the above models can successfully reproduce the annual and seasonal surface air temperature and precipitation climatology in East Asia, with relatively good performance for boreal autumn and annual mean. The models' ability to simulate surface air temperature is more reliable than precipitation. In addition, the models can dependably capture the geographical distribution pattern of annual, boreal winter, spring and autumn sea level pressure in East Asia. In contrast, relatively large simulation errors are displayed when simulated boreal summer sea level pressure is compared with reanalysis data in East Asia. It is revealed that the simulation errors for surface air temperature, precipitation and sea level pressure are generally large over and around the Tibetan Plateau. No individual model is best in every aspect. As a whole, the ECHAM4/OPYC3 and HadCM3 performances are much better, whereas the CGCM2 is relatively poorer in East Asia. Additionally, the seven-model ensemble mean usually shows a relatively high reliability.展开更多

文摘Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)are widely used in electrochemical battery energy storage systems(BESS)because of their high energy density,lack of memory effects,low self-discharge rate,and long cycle life.However,inadequate heat dissipation during their discharge process can significantly degrade battery performance.The improvement of BESS efficiency depends on the optimization of thermal management structures.In this work,we integrate the pseudo-two-dimensional(P2D)electrochemical model with a three-dimensional thermal model to analyze the heat generation and transfer processes within the BESS.The simulation results are closely aligned with the experimental results in terms of voltage and temperature rise curves.Under air cooling conditions of 293.15 K and 3 m·s^(-1),the BESS has a maximum temperature of 308.60 K and a temperature difference of 9.22 K,ensuring safe operation.At 1 C,we suggest that enlarging the inlet and outlet areas improves the air-cooling efficiency,and transitioning environmental air-cooling temperatures after 2400 s of discharge effectively reduces the temperature difference and the energy consumption of the cooling equipment.This work provides valuable theoretical insights for optimizing the thermal design of BESS.

文摘The magnitude of El Nino determines the level of its global impact.Yet,how well our state-of-the-art models simulate this key aspect of El Nino is not well documented.Previous studies tend to ignore El Nino-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)asymmetry and equate the variance of ENSO to the magnitude of El Nino.Moreover,previous evaluations are more focused on the surface manifestation of El Nino.Here,we quantify the magnitudes of El Nino and La Nina separately,both at the surface and subsurface levels.At the surface,we find that while the magnitude of La Nina events in most models is generally stronger than observed,the magnitude of El Nino is more diverse to observations.In fact,in many models,El Nino is weaker than observed.This bias in the magnitude of El Nino is more pronounced in the subsurface.We attribute this weakness in the subsurface to the generally weaker coupling strength and the apparent stronger ENSO at the surface to a lack of sufficiently strong negative feedback from the surface heat flux in the models.When normalized by the variance of ENSO,the lack of exceptionally strong El Nino events in the models is more common and pronounced.We further studied the lifespan of El Nino and La Nina events and have found that multi-year duration is not confined to just La Nina events.There are also El Nino events that last more than one year.Moreover,we have found that multi-year long La Nina events tend to occur over the decades with strong El Nino events.The study also briefly explores the impact of global warming on the duration of ENSO events through the use of a simple model and simulations by CMIP6 models.It has been found that the frequency of multi-year El Nino and La Nina events increases with global warming.

文摘Coastal cities hold a special position in the fields of production,living,and ecological research because of their unique wetland resource advantages.However,with global urbanization and rapid economic development,con-flicts among production,living and ecological land are prevalent in coastal cities in the process of maintaining sustainable wetland resources and further developing the social economy.By establishing an SD-PLUS-CCD cou-pling model,this paper analysed the evolution characteristics and driving mechanism of the production-living-ecological space(PLES)and the effects of wetland protection(WLP)on promoting or inhibiting the coordinated development of the PLES in Dongying city during 2005-2060.The results show that(1)from 2005 to 2020,the increase in urban population resulted in a significant transfer of arable land and a reduction of 914 km2 in pro-duction space(PS);(2)from 2020 to 2060,under the WLP scenario,the conversion of wetland ecological space will reduce the PS and living space(LS)by 193.92 km2 and 107.14 km2,respectively,and increase the ecological space(ES)by 327.52 km2;and(3)wetland protection has an inhibitory effect on the coordinated development of PLES in the study area,and the total proportion of noncoordinated areas of PE and living-ecological space will continue to increase during the simulation period.This paper provides a solid theoretical support for the sustain-able management and protection of wetlands in coastal cities and possible PLES conflict patterns and provides a scientific basis for future territorial spatial planning and policy balance analysis.

文摘The numerical simulation of the fluid flow and the flexible rod(s)interaction is more complicated and has lower efficiency due to the high computational cost.In this paper,a semi-resolved model coupling the computational fluid dynamics and the flexible rod dynamics is proposed using a two-way domain expansion method.The gov-erning equations of the flexible rod dynamics are discretized and solved by the finite element method,and the fluid flow is simulated by the finite volume method.The interaction between fluids and solid rods is modeled by introducing body force terms into the momentum equations.Referred to the traditional semi-resolved numerical model,an anisotropic Gaussian kernel function method is proposed to specify the interactive forces between flu-ids and solid bodies for non-circle rod cross-sections.A benchmark of the flow passing around a single flexible plate with a rectangular cross-section is used to validate the algorithm.Focused on the engineering applications,a test case of a finite patch of cylinders is implemented to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the coupled model.
文摘Oxidative coupling of methane(OCM)is a catalytic partial oxidation process that directly converts methane into C_(2) products.For this high temperature reaction,understanding the radical behavior through experimental investigation is important in correlating the catalytic activity and the products.In this work,a spatial resolution online mass spectrometry(MS)system was developed and applied to a Mn-Na_(2)WO_(4)/SiO_(2) catalyzed OCM system.In addition to the residue gas analysis,the system obtained the distribution information of the reactants and products in the reactor.At various setting temperatures,all species online MS signals were collected at different positions,mapping the reaction activity covering parameters including temperature,time and space.The distribution behavior of the catalytic activity,selectivity,and apparent activation energy were kinetically analyzed.Selectivity and additional carbon balance analysis strongly supported the radical coupling model of OCM and indicated that after the catalytic bed layer,there is a significant length in the reactor(>2 mm)filled with radicals.Based on the result,a designed new method by tuning the temperature field in the reactor was found effectively to improve the catalytic activity,especially the C_(2) yield from 702 to 773℃.

文摘The largely bending bilayer electrode model battery has been widely used to measure the mechanical properties of composite electrode materials.The assumption used in the method that lithium is uniformly distributed in the active layer lacks quantitative evaluation,and the uniformity of concentration distribution is crucial for accurate in-situ measurements of concentration-related material properties and stress in bilayer electrodes.Therefore,this paper proposes a mechanical-electrochemical coupled model to study the lithium concentration distribution in the active layer during lithiation.This model includes lithium concentration diffusion and active layer deformation.By comparing experimental and simulated curvature evolution of the active layer during lithiation and delithiation,the reliability of this simulation model is verified.We then derive the precise concentration distribution inside the active layer and suggest using relative error to quantitatively evaluate the uniformity of lithium concentration in the active layer.Results show that a low relative error in lithium concentration can be achieved in the middle region of the active layer.Additionally,the effects of different rates and geometric parameters on the lithium concentration distribution in the active layer are discussed.Results indicate that reduced rates,thinner active layers,shorter active layer lengths,and increased spacing between the working and counter electrodes can lead to a more uniform distribution of lithium concentration in the active layer.These insights help improve experimental methods and equipment,promoting uniform distribution of lithium in the active layer and enhancing measurement accuracy.

文摘Since the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy,China has undergone a period of rapid development.However,this urban expansion has been accompanied by significant ecological challenges.Therefore,understanding the relationship between urban expansion and ecological sustainability is crucial for future urban planning.This study analyzes land use data to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban agglomeration expansion from 2000 to 2020.Using MODIS satellite data,this study constructs a Remote Sensing Ecological Index(RSEI)model to assess ecological quality changes over the past two decades.Additionally,an improved coupling coordination model is applied to examine the interaction between urban expansion and ecological quality and to evaluate the spatiotemporal trends of their coordination.The results indicate that:①From 2000 to 2020,urban expansion in the Henan section of the Yellow River Basin followed a pattern of“growth-growthdecline”.Pattern recognition analysis indicated that both urban agglomerations and individual cities primarily expanded through edge extension and infill development,while enclave-style expansion occurred in only a small portion of the region.②Between 2000 and 2020,the ecological quality of urban agglomerations in the Henan section of the Yellow River Basin showed a slight improvement.RSEI values ranged from 0.4 to 0.7,indicating moderate ecological quality.Ecological quality exhibited a spatial pattern of being higher in the southwest and lower in the northeast.Significant declines in ecological quality were primarily concentrated in urban built-up areas,forming a patch-like distribution.Conversely,notable improvements in ecological quality occurred mainly in the mountainous regions of the southwest and north.③Between 2000 and 2020,the coupling coordination level of urban agglomerations showed an increasing trend.Coupling coordination values ranged from 0.248 to 0.734.Most cities were near an imbalance between urban expansion and ecological quality,while Zhengzhou was the only city to consistently maintain coordinated development over two decades.Spatially,highly imbalanced areas were mainly concentrated in the western and southern Henan sections,particularly in Sanmenxia and Luoyang.Conversely,areas with high coupling coordination were centered around Zhengzhou,showing a radial expansion pattern in recent years.

文摘The uneven distribution of medical resources has led to increasingly frequent patient mobility;however, the interaction between this phenomenon and the healthcare supply-demand relationship remains underexplored. The present study constructed the 2023Cross-City Patient Mobility Network in China using one million patient mobility data records obtained from online healthcare platforms. We applied urban network analysis to uncover mobility patterns and used the coupling coordination degree model to assess healthcare supply-demand relationships before and after patient mobility. Explainable machine learning further revealed the impact of supply-demand coupling on patient mobility. The results indicated the following: Patient mobility followed administrative boundaries, although megacities serve areas beyond provincial borders;The scale of healthcare supply and demand displayed a multi-centric spatial pattern with a general decline from east to west, and these characteristics of demand distribution were further solidified by patient mobility;Cities with low supply-demand coupling and undersupply experienced patient outflows, while cities with high coupling and oversupply attracted them. In turn, patient mobility helped balance healthcare supply and demand, optimising the coupling relationship across cities. Thus, this research not only provides a methodological reference for understanding the interaction between patient mobility and healthcare systems but also offers empirical insights for public health policy.

文摘Slope climbing of urban expansion(SCE),as a form of urbanization,has increasingly significant impacts on urban development.Unsustainable slope climbing of urban expansion can harm the natural environment,thereby affecting human production and living conditions.Using a coupled coordination model and the geographically weighted regression(GTWR)model,leveraging night light remote sensing data and ecological environment quality index model,this study investigated the coupling relationship between urban expansion and ecological environment quality and its influencing factors in the Yangtze River Economic Belt of China from 2000 to 2020.The results indicate that from 2000 to 2020,the intensity of urban slope climbing in the Yangtze River Economic Belt showed a fluctuating upward trend,with the slope climbing intensity being most significant in Chongqing Municipality and Kunming of Yunnan Province.Overall,the ecological environment quality exhibited an upward trend,with over 80%of the study area maintaining stable or improved ecological quality.There is a certain spatial correspondence between ecological environment quality and urban slope climbing.Although these two aspects of development demonstrate a high degree of coordination,fluctuations still occur during the development process.Further research on the coupling coordination relationship between the two revealed that population density has a negative impact on coupling coordination in the eastern region,and technology expenditure in eastern coastal cities has shown a negative trend over time.To ensure the continued increase in the proportion of highly coordinated areas in the future,eastern coastal cities in the study region could prioritize ecological civilization construction,strengthen urban construction and development planning,adjust influencing factors,and ensure the coordinated development of urban growth with ecological environment quality.

文摘A mathematical energy coupling model was developed to analyze the light transmission in the keyhole and energy distribution on the keyhole wall.The main characteristics of the model include：1） a prototype of the keyhole and the inverse Bremsstrahlung absorption coefficient in the keyhole plasma are obtained from the experiments;2） instead of using a parallel incident beam,a focused laser beam with real Gaussian intensity distribution is implemented;3） both Fresnel absorption and inverse Bremsstrahlung absorption during multiple reflections are considered.The calculation results show that the distribution of absorbed laser intensity by the keyhole wall is not uniform.The maximum laser energy is absorbed by the bottom of the keyhole,although no rays irradiate directly onto the bottom.According to analysis of beam focusing characteristics,the location of the focal plane plays a more important role in the laser energy absorption by the front wall than by the rear wall.

文摘Using observation and reanalysis data throughout 1961-1990, the East Asian surface air temperature, precipitation and sea level pressure climatology as simulated by seven fully coupled atmosphere-ocean models, namely CCSR/NIES, CGCM2, CSIRO-Mk2, ECHAM4/OPYC3, GFDL-R30, HadCM3, and NCAR-PCM, are systematically evaluated in this study. It is indicated that the above models can successfully reproduce the annual and seasonal surface air temperature and precipitation climatology in East Asia, with relatively good performance for boreal autumn and annual mean. The models' ability to simulate surface air temperature is more reliable than precipitation. In addition, the models can dependably capture the geographical distribution pattern of annual, boreal winter, spring and autumn sea level pressure in East Asia. In contrast, relatively large simulation errors are displayed when simulated boreal summer sea level pressure is compared with reanalysis data in East Asia. It is revealed that the simulation errors for surface air temperature, precipitation and sea level pressure are generally large over and around the Tibetan Plateau. No individual model is best in every aspect. As a whole, the ECHAM4/OPYC3 and HadCM3 performances are much better, whereas the CGCM2 is relatively poorer in East Asia. Additionally, the seven-model ensemble mean usually shows a relatively high reliability.
