This study examines the large-scale circulation anomalies responsible for this extreme event.Analysis reveals that the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly over SC plays a crucial role. This cyclonic anomaly consists of extratropical northeasterly anomalies to the north of SC and tropical southwesterly anomalies to the south. Both components were particularly intense during the 2022 first rainy season, contributing to the heavy rainfall in SC. Moreover,the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly is enhanced by its counterpart in the upper troposphere, which is associated with a wave train propagating from the North Atlantic to East Asia across the mid-high latitudes of the Eurasian continent.Further analysis indicates that the extratropical wave train correlates with sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs) in the North Atlantic. Additionally, the SSTAs over the North Indian Ocean also play a role in enhancing the tropical southwesterlies in the lower troposphere. This study highlights the combined influence of tropical and extratropical circulation anomalies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the record-breaking rainfall.展开更多

文摘The titanium alloy strut serves as a key load-bearing component of aircraft landing gear,typically manufactured via forging.The friction condition has important influence on material flow and cavity filling during the forging process.Using the previously optimized shape and initial position of preform,the influence of the friction condition(friction factor m=0.1–0.3)on material flow and cavity filling was studied by numerical method with a shear friction model.A novel filling index was defined to reflect material flow into left and right flashes and zoom in on friction-induced results.The results indicate that the workpiece moves rigidly to the right direction,with the displacement decreasing as m increases.When m<0.18,the underfilling defect will occur in the left side of strut forging,while overflow occurs in the right forging die cavity.By combining the filling index and analyses of material flow and filling status,a reasonable friction factor interval of m=0.21–0.24 can be determined.Within this interval,the cavity filling behavior demonstrates robustness,with friction fluctuations exerting minimal influence.

文摘CO_(2)-responsive gels,which swell upon contact with CO_(2),are widely used for profile control to plug high-permeability gas flow channels in carbon capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS)applications in oil reser-voirs.However,the use of these gels in high-temperature CCUS applications is limited due to their rever-sible swelling behavior at elevated temperatures.In this study,a novel dispersed particle gel(DPG)suspension is developed for high-temperature profile control in CCUS applications.First,we synthesize a double-network hydrogel consisting of a crosslinked polyacrylamide(PAAm)network and a crosslinked sodium alginate(SA)network.The hydrogel is then sheared in water to form a pre-prepared DPG suspen-sion.To enhance its performance,the gel particles are modified by introducing potassium methylsilan-etriolate(PMS)upon CO_(2) exposure.Comparing the particle size distributions of the modified and pre-prepared DPG suspension reveals a significant swelling of gel particles,over twice their original size.Moreover,subjecting the new DPG suspension to a 100℃ environment for 24 h demonstrates that its gel particle sizes do not decrease,confirming irreversible swelling,which is a significant advantage over the traditional CO_(2)-responsive gels.Thermogravimetric analysis further indicates improved thermal sta-bility compared to the pre-prepared DPG particles.Core flooding experiments show that the new DPG suspension achieves a high plugging efficiency of 95.3%in plugging an ultra-high permeability sandpack,whereas the pre-prepared DPG suspension achieves only 82.8%.With its high swelling ratio,irreversible swelling at high temperatures,enhanced thermal stability,and superior plugging performance,the newly developed DPG suspension in this work presents a highly promising solution for profile control in high-temperature CCUS applications.

文摘Formalizing complex processes and phenomena of a real-world problem may require a large number of variables and constraints,resulting in what is termed a large-scale optimization problem.Nowadays,such large-scale optimization problems are solved using computing machines,leading to an enormous computational time being required,which may delay deriving timely solutions.Decomposition methods,which partition a large-scale optimization problem into lower-dimensional subproblems,represent a key approach to addressing time-efficiency issues.There has been significant progress in both applied mathematics and emerging artificial intelligence approaches on this front.This work aims at providing an overview of the decomposition methods from both the mathematics and computer science points of view.We also remark on the state-of-the-art developments and recent applications of the decomposition methods,and discuss the future research and development perspectives.

文摘It has been argued that the human brain,as an information-processing machine,operates near a phase transition point in a non-equilibrium state,where it violates detailed balance leading to entropy production.Thus,the assessment of irreversibility in brain networks can provide valuable insights into their non-equilibrium properties.In this study,we utilized an open-source whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)dataset from both resting and task states to evaluate the irreversibility of large-scale human brain networks.Our analysis revealed that the brain networks exhibited significant irreversibility,violating detailed balance,and generating entropy.Notably,both physical and cognitive tasks increased the extent of this violation compared to the resting state.Regardless of the state(rest or task),interactions between pairs of brain regions were the primary contributors to this irreversibility.Moreover,we observed that as global synchrony increased within brain networks,so did irreversibility.The first derivative of irreversibility with respect to synchronization peaked near the phase transition point,characterized by the moderate mean synchronization and maximized synchronization entropy of blood oxygenation level-dependent(BOLD)signals.These findings deepen our understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of large-scale brain networks,particularly in relation to their phase transition behaviors,and may have potential clinical applications for brain disorders.

文摘Offshore wind power plays a crucial role in energy strategies.The results of traditional small-scale physical models may be unreliable when extrapolated to large field scales.This study addressed this limitation by conducting large-scale(1:13)experiments to investigate the scour hole pattern and equilibrium scour depth around both slender and large monopiles under irregular waves.The experiments adopted KeuleganeCarpenter number(NKC)values from 1.01 to 8.89 and diffraction parameter(D/L,where D is the diameter of the monopile,and L is the wave length)values from 0.016 to 0.056.The results showed that changes in the maximum scour location and scour hole shape around a slender monopile were associated with NKC,with differences observed between irregular and regular waves.Improving the calculation of NKC enhanced the accuracy of existing scour formulae under irregular waves.The maximum scour locations around a large monopile were consistently found on both sides,regardless of NKC and D/L,but the scour hole topography was influenced by both parameters.Notably,the scour range around a large monopile was at least as large as the monopile diameter.

文摘In 2022, South China(SC) experienced record-breaking rainfall during its first rainy season, causing severe socioeconomic losses. This study examines the large-scale circulation anomalies responsible for this extreme event.Analysis reveals that the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly over SC plays a crucial role. This cyclonic anomaly consists of extratropical northeasterly anomalies to the north of SC and tropical southwesterly anomalies to the south. Both components were particularly intense during the 2022 first rainy season, contributing to the heavy rainfall in SC. Moreover,the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly is enhanced by its counterpart in the upper troposphere, which is associated with a wave train propagating from the North Atlantic to East Asia across the mid-high latitudes of the Eurasian continent.Further analysis indicates that the extratropical wave train correlates with sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs) in the North Atlantic. Additionally, the SSTAs over the North Indian Ocean also play a role in enhancing the tropical southwesterlies in the lower troposphere. This study highlights the combined influence of tropical and extratropical circulation anomalies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the record-breaking rainfall.
文摘This study employs deformation monitoring data acquired during the construction of the Haoji railway large-scale bridge to investigate the displacement behavior of the subgrades,catenary columns,and tracks.Emphasis is placed on data acquisition and processing methods using total stations and automated monitoring systems.Through a comprehensive analysis of lateral,longitudinal,and vertical displacement data from 26 subgrade monitoring points,catenary columns,and track sections,this research evaluates how construction activities influence railway structures.The results show that displacement variations in the subgrades,catenary columns,and tracks remained within the established alert thresholds,exhibiting stable deformation trends and indicating that any adverse environmental impact was effectively contained.Furthermore,this paper proposes an early warning mechanism based on an automated monitoring system,which can promptly detect abnormal deformations and initiate emergency response procedures,thereby ensuring the safe operation of the railway.The integration of big data analysis and deformation prediction models offers a practical foundation for future safety management in railway construction.
文摘The research on optimization methods for constellation launch deployment strategies focused on the consideration of mission interval time constraints at the launch site.Firstly,a dynamic modeling of the constellation deployment process was established,and the relationship between the deployment window and the phase difference of the orbit insertion point,as well as the cost of phase adjustment after orbit insertion,was derived.Then,the combination of the constellation deployment position sequence was treated as a parameter,together with the sequence of satellite deployment intervals,as optimization variables,simplifying a highdimensional search problem within a wide range of dates to a finite-dimensional integer programming problem.An improved genetic algorithm with local search on deployment dates was introduced to optimize the launch deployment strategy.With the new description of the optimization variables,the total number of elements in the solution space was reduced by N orders of magnitude.Numerical simulation confirms that the proposed optimization method accelerates the convergence speed from hours to minutes.

文摘The existing deep-sea sediment plume tests are mostly under small-scale static water and rarely under large-scale flowing water conditions.In this study,large-scale tank experiments of flowing water were designed and conducted to investigate the morphological characteristics and concentration evolution of the sediment plumes under different discharge rates(Q)and initial sediment concentrations(c).Viscosity tests,resuspension tests and free settling tests of the sediment solution with different c values were performed to reveal the settling mechanism of the plume diffusion process.The results show that the plume diffusion morphology variation in flowing water has four stages and the plume concentration evolution has three stages.The larger the Q,the smaller the initial incidence angle at the discharge outlet,the larger the diffusion range,the poorer the stability and the more complicated the diffusion morphology.The larger the c,the larger the settling velocity,the faster the formation of high-concentration accumulation zone,the better the stability and the clearer the diffusion boundary.The research results could provide experimental data for assessing the impact of deep-sea mining on the ocean environment.
