However, the scale effects downstream of these single-type weirs have not been thoroughly investigated. This study examined the scale effects on flows over a combined weir system consisting of an ogee weir and a sharp-crested weir, both upstream and downstream, utilizing physical modeling at a 1:33.33 scale based on Froude similarity and three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. The sharp-crested weir in this study was represented by two sluice gates that remain closed and submerged during flood events. The experimental data confirmed that the equivalent discharge coefficients of the combined weir system behaved similarly to those of a sharp-crested weir across various H/P (where H is the total head, and P is the weir height) values. However, scale effects on the discharge rating curve due to surface tension and viscosity could only be minimized when H/P > 0.4, Re > 26 959, and We > 240 (where Re and We are the Reynolds and Weber numbers, respectively), provided that the water depth exceeded 0.042 m above the crest. Additionally, Re greater than 4 × 104 was necessary to minimize scale effects caused by viscosity in flows in the spillway channel and stilling basin (with baffle blocks). The limiting criteria aligned closely with existing literature. This study offers valuable insights for practical applications in hydraulic engineering in the future.展开更多

However, the scale effects downstream of these single-type weirs have not been thoroughly investigated. This study examined the scale effects on flows over a combined weir system consisting of an ogee weir and a sharp-crested weir, both upstream and downstream, utilizing physical modeling at a 1:33.33 scale based on Froude similarity and three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. The sharp-crested weir in this study was represented by two sluice gates that remain closed and submerged during flood events. The experimental data confirmed that the equivalent discharge coefficients of the combined weir system behaved similarly to those of a sharp-crested weir across various H/P (where H is the total head, and P is the weir height) values. However, scale effects on the discharge rating curve due to surface tension and viscosity could only be minimized when H/P > 0.4, Re > 26 959, and We > 240 (where Re and We are the Reynolds and Weber numbers, respectively), provided that the water depth exceeded 0.042 m above the crest. Additionally, Re greater than 4 × 104 was necessary to minimize scale effects caused by viscosity in flows in the spillway channel and stilling basin (with baffle blocks). The limiting criteria aligned closely with existing literature. This study offers valuable insights for practical applications in hydraulic engineering in the future.

文摘Investigating the blast effects and mechanisms on typical finite-sized obstacles is essential for optimizing defense strategies and designing more robust barriers to deter terrorists and protect critical locations.This study investigates the blasting effects and underlying mechanisms of concrete frustums subjected to contact explosions,employing both numerical simulations and field tests.It focuses on the effects of top and side blasting,with particular emphasis on fracture modes,damage patterns,and fragment sizes,as well as the causes of different failure modes and the propagation of stress waves.The study also explores the blasting effects of detonating explosives at varying positions along the side and with different charge amounts.The results show that side-blasting leads to complete fragmentation,with tensile waves playing a significant role in creating extensive damage zones that propagate parallel to the frustum's outer surface,concentrating damage near the surface.During top-blasting,the upper half of the frustum undergoes fragmentation,while the lower half experiences cracking.Tensile waves propagate from the top to the bottom surface,forming larger blocks in regions with lower wave intensity.Three distinct damage zones within the frustum were identified,and a series of mathematical formulas were derived to describe the relationship between the maximum fragment size and charge mass.As the charge mass increased from 1.0 kg to 4.0 kg,the maximum fragment size decreased.Detonation at the center of the frustum's side resulted in the most severe fragmentation,with a 51.8%reduction in fragment size compared to other detonation positions.Finally,four broken modes were classified,each influenced by charge mass and explosive location.This study provides valuable insights for optimizing civil blasting operations and designing protective engineering structures.

文摘The in-flight heating process of cerium dioxide(CeO_(2))powders was investigated through experiments and numerical simulations.In the experiment,CeO_(2)powder(average size of 30μm)was injected into radio-frequency(RF)argon plasma,and the temperatures were measured using a DPV-2000 monitor.A model combining the electromagnetism,thermal flow,and heat transfer characteristics of powder during in-flight heating in argon plasma was proposed.The melting processes of CeO_(2)powders of different diameters,with and without thermal resistance effect,were investigated.Results show that the heating process of CeO_(2)powder particles consists of three main stages,one of which is relevant to a dimensionless parameter known as the Biot number.When the Biot value≥0.1,thermal resistance increases significantly,especially for the larger powders.The predicted temperature of the particles at the outlet(1800–2880 K)is in good agreement with the experimental result.

文摘Accurate simulation of ice accretion of supercooled large droplet(SLD)is pivotal for the international airworthiness certification of large aircraft.Its complex dynamics behavior and broad particle size distributions pose significant challenges to reliable CFD predictions.A numerical model of multi-particle SLD coupling breaking,bouncing and splashing behaviors is established to explore the relationship between dynamics behavior and particle size.The results show that the peak value of droplet collection efficiencyβdecreases due to splashing.The bounce phenomenon will make the impact limit S_(m)of the water drops decrease.With the increase of the SLD particle size,the water drop bounce point gradually moves toward the trailing edge of the wing.The critical breaking diameter of SLD at an airflow velocity of 50 m/s is approximately 100μm.When the SLD particle size increases,the height of the water droplet shelter zone on the upper edge of the wing gradually decreases,and the velocity in the Y direction decreases first and then increases in the opposite direction,increasing the probability of SLD hitting the wing again.Large particle droplets have a higher effect on the impact limit S_(m)than smaller droplets.Therefore,in the numerical simulation of the SLD operating conditions,it is very important to ensure the proportion of large particle size water droplets.

文摘This study aims to assess the comprehensive strengthening effect of a steel-ultra high performance concrete(UHPC)composite strengthening method.The axial force-moment interaction curve(N-M curve)was calculated in a novel way,using cross-sectional strains at ultimate states as well as real-time stress measurements for each material.The enclosed area of the N-M curve was defined as a comprehensive performance index for the system.We validate our approach with comparisons to numerical modeling and full-scale four-point bending experiments.Additionally,strengthening effects were compared for different sagging and hogging moments based on material stress responses,and the impact of various strengthening parameters was analyzed.We find that the N-M curve of the strengthened cross-section envelops that of the un-strengthened cross-section.Notably,improvements in flexural capacity are greater under sagging moments during the large eccentric failure stage,and greater under hogging moments during the small eccentric failure stage.This discrepancy is attributed to the strength utilization of strengthening materials.These findings provide a reference for understanding the strengthening effects and parameters of steel-UHPC composite.

文摘The size and shape effect(SSE)of components has become a critical issue for mechanical properties,application reliability,and processing.In this study,the creep rupture life(CRL)of components with different wall thicknesses and positions in a combustion chamber casing simulator made of K439B superalloy was investigated.The intrinsic mechanisms of the SSE were explored from the dendrite structure,volume fraction and size of theγ'phase,and element segregation,etc.It is shown that this casting exhibits a strong SSE of creep rupture life,characterized by a significant difference in the CRL values up to 60%with the variation of wall thickness and position in the casing.In terms of casting technology,the influence of SSE on CRL is actually determined by the cooling rate.The SSE on the creep rupture life originates from the dendrite structure(such as the secondary dendrite arm spacing),volume fraction size of theγ'phase in the dendrite trunk,and elements segregation rate.This work may have implications for the design and application of engineering components with large sizes and complex structures.

文摘Rechargeable Zn/Sn-air batteries have received considerable attention as promising energy storage devices.However,the electrochemical performance of these batteries is significantly constrained by the sluggish electrocatalytic reaction kinetics at the cathode.The integration of light energy into Zn/Sn-air batteries is a promising strategy for enhancing their performance.However,the photothermal and photoelectric effects generate heat in the battery under prolonged solar irradiation,leading to air cathode instability.This paper presents the first design and synthesis of Ni_(2)-1,5-diamino-4,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone(Ni_(2)DDA),an electronically conductiveπ-d conjugated metal-organic framework(MOF).Ni_(2)DDA exhibits both photoelectric and photothermal effects,with an optical band gap of~1.14 eV.Under illumination,Ni_(2)DDA achieves excellent oxygen evolution reaction performance(with an overpotential of 245 mV vs.reversible hydrogen electrode at 10 mA cm^(−2))and photothermal stability.These properties result from the synergy between the photoelectric and photothermal effects of Ni_(2)DDA.Upon integration into Zn/Sn-air batteries,Ni_(2)DDA ensures excellent cycling stability under light and exhibits remarkable performance in high-temperature environments up to 80℃.This study experimentally confirms the stable operation of photo-assisted Zn/Sn-air batteries under high-temperature conditions for the first time and provides novel insights into the application of electronically conductive MOFs in photoelectrocatalysis and photothermal catalysis.

文摘Beam-tracking simulations have been extensively utilized in the study of collective beam instabilities in circular accelerators.Traditionally,many simulation codes have relied on central processing unit(CPU)-based methods,tracking on a single CPU core,or parallelizing the computation across multiple cores via the message passing interface(MPI).Although these approaches work well for single-bunch tracking,scaling them to multiple bunches significantly increases the computational load,which often necessitates the use of a dedicated multi-CPU cluster.To address this challenge,alternative methods leveraging General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units(GPGPU)have been proposed,enabling tracking studies on a standalone desktop personal computer(PC).However,frequent CPU-GPU interactions,including data transfers and synchronization operations during tracking,can introduce communication overheads,potentially reducing the overall effectiveness of GPU-based computations.In this study,we propose a novel approach that eliminates this overhead by performing the entire tracking simulation process exclusively on the GPU,thereby enabling the simultaneous processing of all bunches and their macro-particles.Specifically,we introduce MBTRACK2-CUDA,a Compute Unified Device Architecture(CUDA)ported version of MBTRACK2,which facilitates efficient tracking of single-and multi-bunch collective effects by leveraging the full GPU-resident computation.

文摘Fe_(3)Sn_(2),a ferromagnetic metal with a kagome lattice,serves as an ideal platform for exploring topological electronic states and Berry curvature due to its unique band structure.However,systematic reports on the transport properties of Fe_(3)Sn_(2)nanosheets remain scarce.We present temperature-dependent transport property measurements of Fe_(3)Sn_(2)nanosheets synthesized via chemical vapor deposition on Si/SiO_(2)substrates.The samples exhibit a robust anomalous Hall effect from 40 K to 300 K,along with a magnetoresistance sign reversal at 40 K at high magnetic fields,indicating a spin reorientation from in-plane to out-of-plane.Notably,a sharp crossover in the dominant transport contribution from electrons to holes near 200 K is observed,accompanied by distinct anomalous Hall behaviors in the two regimes,indicating a temperature-induced Lifshitz transition within the multi-band system.This divergence is potentially linked to a topological reconstruction of the Fermi surface across the transition.Our findings highlight the tunability of topological transport in two-dimensional kagome magnets and provide new insights into the interplay between band topology,dimensionality and magnetic order.

文摘The effect of adding hydroxycinnamic acids(caffeic acid,sinapic acid,p-coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid)in Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine before and after fermentation was investigated,taking into account the color parameters,anthocyanin content,and overall polyphenol levels in the wine samples.The copigmentation effect of malvidin-3-Oglucoside and sinapic acid was further explored in model solution and through theoretical calculations.The results indicated that the addition of hydroxycinnamic acids significantly enhanced the wine's color with sinapic acid(before the fermentation)showing the most pronounced color protection effect.Compared to control samples,the addition of hydroxycinnamic acids resulted in a 36%increase in total phenolic content and a 28% increase in total anthocyanin content.Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the interaction between sinapic acid and malvidin-3-O-glucoside was spontaneous and exothermic.Theoretical studies identified hydrogen bonding(HB)and dispersion forces as the main primary stabilizing forces,with the carboxyl group of sinapic acid playing a critical role while the anthocyanin backbone also influenced the interaction.

文摘Iron and steel industry is one of the main sources of air pollution emissions in China.The sintering process is an important link in the blast furnace ironmaking process,but it is also accompanied by a large number of pollutants.Under the background of ultra-low emissions,iron and steel enterprises urgently need to upgrade their existing processes to address the existing process in practical application problems.In this study,a steel group in Gansu Province was taken as an example.By comparing and analyzing the pollutant emission characteristics before and after the ultra-low emission retrofit,the collaborative control effect of the combined process on SO_(2),NO_(x),particulate matter,and dioxins after the new retrofit was systematically evaluated.The results show that after the retrofit,the concentrations of particulate matter,SO_(2) and NO_(x) have dropped to near-zero levels,and the dioxin removal efficiency has reached 98.87%,with all indicators being better than the national ultra-low emission standards.The study confirms that the optimal combination of multi-pollutant collaborative treatment technologies is the key to achieving efficient emission reduction,among which selective catalytic reduction technology has a particularly significant synergistic removal effect on NO_(x) and dioxins.This study provides an important technical reference and practical basis for the ultra-low emission retrofit of the steel industry,and has important guiding significance for promoting the green retrofit of the industry.Its ultra-low emission retrofit is of great significance for achieving green and low-carbon development.

文摘Benzalkonium chloride(BAC)is widely employed as a broad-spectrum biocide and has emerged as a significant environmental pollutant.Polymyxin B(PB)serves as the last-line defense for the treatment of Gram-negative pathogens.Previous studies reported that BAC-adapted Pseudomonas aeruginosa increased the tolerance to PB.Herein,we present the novel finding that the combination of BAC and PB exhibited synergistic antibacterial effects against P.aeruginosa.Time-killing assay demonstrated a significant reduction in bacterial cell viability.Scanning electron microscopy,zeta potential analysis,hydrophobicity measurements,and fluorescence probe analyses collectively revealed severe disruption of the cell envelope and membrane potential induced by the combination of BAC and PB.Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the BAC-PB combination notably downreg-ulated the expression of genes involved in lipid A modification and cell envelope production,including phoPQ,pmrAB,bamABCDE,lptABCDEG,lolB,yidC,and murJ.Additionally,the combination group exhibited augmented production of reactive oxygen species and diminished ATP synthesis.The expression of the genes associated with substance metabolism and energy generation was significantly impeded.This study provides significant implica-tions for the interactions of biocides and antibiotics on Gram-negative pathogens,while also addressing antibiotic resistance and developing the external treatment strategy for Pseudomonas-infected wounds and burns.

文摘[Objectives]To explore the control mode of farmland drainage pollutants and investigate the effects of ecological ditch and wetland on reducing farmland drainage pollutants in Hetao Irrigation District.[Methods]Based on the demonstration construction project of the ecological ditch-constructed wetland system in the Hetao Irrigation District,an experimental study was conducted from July to September 2023 to investigate the interception and purification effects of ecological ditches,constructed wetlands,and the combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system on farmland drainage pollutants.Key water quality parameters measured included total nitrogen(TN)concentration and total phosphorus(TP)concentration.[Results]Different treatment modes of ecological ditches and constructed wetlands have a certain removal effect on nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in water bodies.The ecological ditches treated with Astragalus laxmannii,Melilotus officinalis,Medicago sativa,bio-ball substrate,and bio-sheet substrate showed reduction efficiencies for TN and TP of 21.09% and 23.84%,12.06% and 26.67%,20.08% and 34.15%,23.65% and 20.56%,and 19.92% and 25.83%,respectively.The emergent plant area showed reduction efficiencies of 24.28%for TN and 17.89%for TP,while the submerged plant area achieved a reduction efficiency of 10.21%for both TN and TP.Among the different treatment modes,the ecological ditch with M.sativa performed better in TP removal,whereas the bio-ball substrate treatment mode showed higher effectiveness in TN removal.In addition,the emergent plant area exhibited better TP removal performance,while the submerged plant area was more effective in TN removal.The combined system of ecological ditch and constructed wetland achieved removal rates of 37.55% for TN and 11.47% for TP.It effectively facilitates the step-by-step interception and adsorption purification of pollutants,thereby showing significant removal and purification effects on nitrogen and phosphorus contaminants.This contributes to mitigating agricultural non-point source pollution.[Conclusions]The combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system serves dual functions of agricultural drainage and pollutant interception and purification.It reduces the pollution load of farmland drainage on receiving water bodies to some extent and mitigates agricultural non-point source pollution.Therefore,it is a relatively suitable technology for managing agricultural non-point source pollution in the Hetao Irrigation District.
