In this paper, the encapsulated electrode width of a SDBD actuator is changed to study the airflow acceleration behavior. The effects of encapsulated electrode width on the actuator performance are experimentally investigated by measuring the dielectric layer surface potential, time-averaged ionic wind velocity and thrust force. Experimental results show that the airflow velocity and thrust force increase with the encapsulated electrode width. The results can be attributed to the distinct plasma distribution at different encapsulated electrode widths.展开更多

Methods: A total of 582 traces of pressure-flow study from 181 men with BPH was included in the study. For each trace, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and detrusor pressure at Qmax (pdet.Qmax) were, respectively, read from manually smoothed and corrected uroflow and detrusor pressure curves from the computer print-outs. Obstruction coefficient, International Continence Society (ICS) and Schaefer nomograms were used to detect urethral resistance and to diagnose obstruction. The results obtained by manual reading were compared with those from computer-based systems. Results: After manual correction, Qmax underwent a consistently significant decrease by 1.2 mL/s on average (P 〈 0.001), and had a change range of 0.5-10.4 mL/s. However, pdet.Qmax underwent inconsistently intra-individual changes after correction. The obstruction coefficient increased significantly, by an average of 0.07 (P 〈 0.05). Using the ICS nomogram, the percentage of obstruction increased from 69.8% to 73.9%, and of the non-obstruction decreased from 8.8% to 5.3% (P 〈 0.05). There were 11% of traces that changed the classifications using the ICS nomogram, and 28.9% that changed the grades for the Schaefer nomogram. Conclusion: Systematically significant differences in parameters from pres- sure-flow study between manual readings and computer recordings were demonstrated. Manual correction resulted in a consistently lower Q a higher urethral resistance, and an aggravating obstruction. Manual readings can correct considerable false diagnoses for obstruction. Retrospective quality control of pressure-flow data with com- puter-based systems is necessary.展开更多

文摘A debris flow descending through an erodible convex colluvial bed,originating from a landslide dam and its upstream deposits,can entrain massive amounts of sediment,dramatically increasing the debris flow volume.Most existing erosion models assume that bed sediments are fully saturated,although this condition is rarely observed in nature.Therefore,a thorough understanding of debris flow overtopping erosion on a convex unsaturated bed is crucial for quantifying disaster risk.In this study,we experimentally investigated the effects of sediment composition,specifically coarse-grain size distribution and fine particle content,on the pore pressure evolution and entrainment of debris flows overriding a convex unsaturated colluvial bed.The average entrainment rate at convex sites for continuously graded bed sediment was higher than its discontinuous counterpart.The measured pore pressures within the unsaturated bed sediments were primarily generated by the passing debris flows.Furthermore,it was found that these pressures decreased as the fine particle content increased and the coarse-grain size of the erodible substrates decreased.When the coarse-grain size of the debris flow was smaller than that of the bed sediment,only a portion of the eroded material was entrained by the moving debris flow.In contrast,when the coarse-grain size of the debris flow was equal to or greater than that of the bed sediment,nearly all of the eroded material was entrained.The findings of this study could contribute to the assessment of hazard amplification and inform the design of mitigation and prevention strategies.

文摘Large-volume presses(LVPs)are widely utilized in diverse research fields—including high-pressure physics,chemistry,materials science,and Earth and planetary sciences—to investigate the physical and chemical properties of materials under extreme high-pressure and hightemperature conditions.A prerequisite for achieving reproducible property measurements is the determination and control of pressure within experimental setups.However,the lack of precise pressure calibration in LVPs hinders the broader application of such devices in ultrahigh-pressure studies.This study employs a suite of standard phase transition-based pressure markers—comprising metallic conductors,semiconductors,and minerals—through both in situ and ex situ identification approaches,to establish pressure calibration curves ranging from 0.4 to>30 GPa for various types of LVP installed at the Center for High Pressure Science and Technology Advanced Research(HPSTAR),Beijing,including piston–cylinder,cubic,and multi-anvil presses.The results provide a unified and traceable pressure reference for highpressure experiments conducted at HPSTAR,while also offering technical guidance and calibration standards for other researchers utilizing similar LVP systems,thereby enabling more consistent comparison between different laboratories.This work facilitates the advancement of LVP research toward broader applications in higher-pressure regimes.

文摘In order to investigate the effect of die wall thickness on morphologies of defect band,a stepped mold with a wall thickness of 5 mm,4 mm,3 mm,2 mm,and 1 mm was designed to carry out high pressure die casting experiments with AlSi10 MgMn alloy.For castings with wall thickness of 2-4 mm,the ratio of the mean defect band width(w)and mean grain size(d)in the defect band(w/d)ranges 7-18,while it increases to 24.47 for the 5 mm-thick casting.This difference is related with the filling speed and the distribution of externally solidified crystals(ESCs).The mold flow analysis indicates that the filling speed decreases from 25.41 m·s^(-1)to 11.07 m·s^(-1)when wall thickness increases from 2 mm to 5 mm.Due to the decreasing filling speed along the wall thickness,ESCs gradually diffuse from the center to the defect band,which keep the shear strength in the defect band at a high-level during filling.Meanwhile,the shear strength generated during the filling also decreases as the shear rate drops.Finally,the defect bands in the 5 mm-thick region become widen and indistinct,and the porosity is as high as 5.25%.

文摘To enhance power flow regulation in scenarios involving large-scale renewable energy transmission via high-voltage direct current(HVDC)links and multi-infeed DC systems in load-center regions,this paper proposes a hybrid modular multilevel converter–capacitor-commutated line-commutated converter(MMC-CLCC)HVDC transmission system and its corresponding control strategy.First,the system topology is constructed,and a submodule configuration method for the MMC—combining full-bridge submodules(FBSMs)and half-bridge submodules(HBSMs)—is proposed to enable direct power flow reversal.Second,a hierarchical control strategy is introduced,includingMMCvoltage control,CLCC current control,and a coordinationmechanism,along with the derivation of the hybrid system’s power flow reversal characteristics.Third,leveraging the CLCC’s fast current regulation and theMMC’s negative voltage control capability,a coordinated power flow reversal control strategy is developed.Finally,an 800 kV MMC-CLCC hybrid HVDC system is modeled in PSCAD/EMTDC to validate the power flow reversal performance under a high proportion of full-bridge submodule configuration.Results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy enables rapid(1-s transition)and smooth switching of bidirectional power flow without modifying the structure of primary equipment:the transient fluctuation ofDC voltage from the rated value(UdcN)to themaximumreverse voltage(-kUdcN)is less than 5%;the DC current strictly follows the preset characteristic curve with a deviation of≤3%;the active power reverses continuously,and the system maintains stable operation throughout the reversal process.

文摘This study presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of laminar flow behavior of high-viscous non-Newtonian power-law and Bingham fluids in multiple structural bifurcation channel distributors.Theoretical models are derived to describe velocity profiles,shear rate distribution,and pressure drop across specific channels.Modified pressure drop models are proposed based on experiments on 6 kinds of non-Newtonian fluids and 3 types of bifurcation channel distributors with different transition areas.Specifically,the deviations between the theoretical models and the experimental results are systematically analyzed,and models were modified with correction coefficients based on Reynolds number and dimensionless shape factor.The theoretical results,modified results and experimental data are compared and discussed to ensure the accuracy of the modified models,demonstrating a significant improvement in the prediction of pressure drops for high-viscous non-Newtonian fluids in certain types of bifurcation channels.Additional experiments and analyses were carried out to validate the modified models and the results suggest that the models offer a certain degree of universal applicability in bifurcation channel designs.It implies that for other types of bifurcation channel distributors,similar correction methods based on Reynolds number and shape factor may also be applicable even with different coefficients.

文摘Background Both medication and non-medication therapies are effective approaches to control blood pressure (BP) in hypertension patients.However,the association of joint changes in antihypertensive medication use and healthy lifestyle index (HLI)with BP control among hypertension patients is seldom reported,which needs to provide more evidence by prospective intervention studies.We examined the association of antihypertensive medication use and HLI with BP control among employees with hypertension in China based on a workplace-based multicomponent intervention program.Methods Between January 2013 and December 2014,a cluster randomized clinical trial of a workplace-based multicomponent intervention program was conducted in 60 workplaces across 20 urban areas in China.Workplaces were randomly divided into intervention (n=40) and control (n=20) groups.Basic information on employees at each workplace was collected by trained professionals,including sociodemographic characteristics,medical history,family history,lifestyle behaviors,medication status and physical measurements.After baseline,the intervention group received a 2-year intervention to achieve BP control,which included:(1) a workplace wellness program for all employees;(2) a guidelines-oriented hypertension management protocol.HLI including nonsmoking,nondrinking,adequate physical activity,weight within reference range and balanced diet,were coded on a 5-point scale (range:0-5,with higher score indicating a healthier lifestyle).Antihypertensive medication use was defined as taking drug within the last 2 weeks.Changes in HLI,antihypertensive medication use and BP control from baseline to 24 months were measured after the intervention.Results Overall,4655 employees were included (age:46.3±7.6 years,men:3547 (82.3%)).After 24 months of the intervention,there was a significant improvement in lifestyle[smoking (OR=0.65,95%CI:0.43-0.99;P=0.045),drinking (OR=0.52,95%CI:0.40-0.68;P<0.001),regular exercise (OR=3.10,95%CI:2.53-3.78;P<0.001),excessive intake of fatty food (OR=0.17,95%CI:0.06-0.52;P=0.002),restrictive use of salt (OR=0.26,95%CI:0.12-0.56;P=0.001)].Compare to employees with a deteriorating lifestyle after the intervention,those with an improved lifestyle had a higher BP control.In the intervention group,compared with employees not using antihypertensive medication,those who consistent used (OR=2.34;95%CI:1.16-4.72;P=0.017) or changed from not using to using antihypertensive medication (OR=2.24;95%CI:1.08-4.62;P=0.030) had higher BP control.Compared with those having lower HLI,participants with a same (OR=1.38;95%CI:0.99-1.93;P=0.056) or high (OR=1.79;95%CI:1.27~2.53;P<0.001) HLI had higher BP control.Those who used antihypertensive medication and had a high HLI had the highest BP control (OR=1.88;95%CI:1.32-2.67,P<0.001).Subgroup analysis also showed the consistent effect as the above.Conclusion These findings suggest that adherence to antihypertensive medication treatment and healthy lifestyle were associated with a significant improvement in BP control among employees with hypertension.

文摘With the increasing miniaturization of systems and surging demand for power density,accurate prediction and control of two-phase flow pressure drop have become a core challenge restricting the performance of microchannel heat exchangers.Pressure drop,a critical hydraulic characteristic,serves as both a natural constraint for cooling systems and determines the power required to pump the working fluid through microchannels.This paper reviews the characteristics,prediction models,and optimization measures of two-phase flow pressure drop for low-boiling-point working fluids in microchannels.It systematically analyzes key influencing factors such as fluid physical properties,operating conditions,channel geometry,and flow patterns,and discusses the complex mechanisms of pressure drop under the coupling effect of multi-physical fields.Mainstream prediction models are reviewed:the homogeneous flow model simplifies calculations but shows large deviations at low quality;the separated flow model considers interphase interactions and can be applied to micro-scales after modification;the flow-pattern-based model performs zoned modeling but relies on subjective classification;machine learning improves prediction accuracy but faces the“black-box”problem.In terms of optimization,channel designs are improved through porous structures and micro-rib arrays,and flow rate distribution is optimized using splitters to balance pressure drop and heat transfer performance.This study provides theoretical support for microchannel thermal management in high-power-density devices.

文摘The current research of master cylinder pressure estimation mainly relies on hydraulic characteristic or vehicle dynamics.But they are not independently applicable to any environment and have their own scope of application.In addition,about the master cylinder pressure control,there are few studies that can simultaneously balance pressure building accuracy,speed,and prevent pressure overshoot and jitter.In this paper,an adaptative fusion method based on electro-hydraulic characteristic and vehicle mode is proposed to estimate the master cylinder pressure.The fusion strategy is mainly based on the prediction performance of two algorithms under different vehicle speeds,pressures,and ABS states.Apart from this,this article also includes real-time prediction of the friction model based on RLS to improve the accuracy of the electro-hydraulic mode.In order to simultaneously balance pressure control accuracy,response speed,and prevent overshoot and jitter,this article proposes an adaptative LQR controller for MC pressure control which uses fuzzy-logic controller to adjust the weights of LQR controller based on target pressure and difference compared with actual pressure.Through mode-in-loop and hardware-in-loop tests in ramp,step and sinusoidal response,the whole estimation and control system is verified based on real hydraulic system and the performance is satisfactory under these scenes.This research proposes an adaptative pressure estimation and control architecture for integrated electro-hydraulic brake system which could eliminate pressure sensors in typical scenarios and ensure the comprehensive performance of pressure control.

文摘This study investigates the flow boiling heat transfer coefficient and pressure gradient of refrigerant R410A inmicro-channel flat tubes.Experiments were conducted at saturation temperatures ranging from 25℃ to 30℃,mass fluxes between 198 and 305 kg/m^(2)s,and heat fluxes from 9.77 to 20.18 kW/m^(2),yielding 99 sets of local heat transfer coefficient data.The results show that increasing heat flux and mass flux enhances the heat transfer coefficient,although the rate of enhancement decreases with increasing vapor quality.Conversely,higher saturation temperatures slightly reduce the heat transfer coefficient.Additionally,the experimental findings reveal discrepancies in the accuracy of existing pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient prediction models under the studied conditions.This study recommends using the Kimand Mudawar correlation to predict pressure gradients within the tested range,with aMean Error(ME)of−5.24%observed in this study.For heat transfer coefficients,the Cooper and Kandlikar correlations are recommended,achieving a Mean Absolute Error(MAE)of approximately 22%.This research provides value for performance prediction and parameter selection of micro-channel technology in broader application scenarios within heating,ventilation and air-conditioning fields.

文摘Maintaining stable high temperatures under pressure remains a challenge in high-pressure,high-temperature experiments using multi-anvil presses(MAPs).Temperature fluctuations exceeding 10℃ at high pressures are common and particularly problematic with LaCrO_(3) heaters,which can experience significant power fluctuations and even failure due to substantial resistance changes—an issue conventional thyristorcontrolled heating systems cannot effectively manage.To address this limitation,we have developed the Multi-Anvil Stable Temperature controller(MASTer),a high-performance heating system optimized for MAP experiments.MASTer enables precise,high-speed measurement of heating parameters and power output control,incorporating a gentle regulation strategy to enhance stability.It ensures consistent heating across various heater types,including LaCrO_(3),with power fluctuations limited to±0.1 W and temperature fluctuations to within±2℃ in most cases.The design,operating principles,user interface,functionality,and performance of the heating system are discussed in detail.

文摘With the widespread adoption of hydraulic fracturing technology in oil and gas resource development,improving the accuracy and efficiency of fracturing simulations has become a critical research focus.This paper proposes an improved fluid flow algorithm,aiming to enhance the computational efficiency of hydraulic fracturing simulations while ensuring computational accuracy.The algorithm optimizes the aperture law and iteration criteria,focusing on improving the domain volume and crack pressure update strategy,thereby enabling precise capture of dynamic borehole pressure variations during injection tests.The effectiveness of the algorithm is verified through three flow-solid coupling cases.The study also analyzes the effects of borehole size,domain volume,and crack pressure update strategy on fracturing behavior.Furthermore,the performance of the improved algorithm in terms of crack propagation rate,micro-crack formation,and fluid pressure distribution was further evaluated.The results indicate that while large-size boreholes delay crack initiation,the cracks propagate more rapidly once formed.Additionally,the optimized domain volume calculation and crack pressure update strategy significantly shorten the pressure propagation stage,promote crack propagation,and improve computational efficiency.

文摘The surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) plasma actuator has shown great promise as an aerodynamic flow control device. In this paper, the encapsulated electrode width of a SDBD actuator is changed to study the airflow acceleration behavior. The effects of encapsulated electrode width on the actuator performance are experimentally investigated by measuring the dielectric layer surface potential, time-averaged ionic wind velocity and thrust force. Experimental results show that the airflow velocity and thrust force increase with the encapsulated electrode width. The results can be attributed to the distinct plasma distribution at different encapsulated electrode widths.

文摘BACKGROUND Post-hepatectomy liver failure(PHLF),represents a serious complication after liver resection,significantly impacting the long-term outcomes for patients who undergo such surgeries.There exists a strong correlation between intraoperative hemorrhage and transfusion requirements with the development of PHLF.Presently,a combination of hepatic portal occlusion techniques alongside con-trolled low central venous pressure(CLCVP)methodologies is extensively em-ployed to mitigate intraoperative bleeding.Nonetheless,limited studies have analyzed the risk factors for PHLF under CLCVP.AIM To develop and validate a nomogram that predicts the risk factors associated with the development of PHLF patients undergoing liver resection with CLCVP.METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 285 patients who underwent hepatectomy for the first time and had no history of prior non-index abdominal surgeries,with hepatic inflow occlusion combined with CLCVP from January to December 2019 in Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital.Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to identify preoperative and intraoperative risk factors for PHLF.Eligible patients were randomly divided into training and validation groups in a 7:3 ratio,and a nomogram prediction model was constructed.RESULTS The incidence of PHLF in these patients was 22.46%.Multiple logistic analysis showed that preoperative serum albumin level,causes of liver resection(cancer or others),and cirrhosis were independent preoperative risk factors for PHLF(P<0.05)and that only post-blocking blood potassium concentration was an independent intraoperative risk factor for PHLF(P<0.05).Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis revealed that preoperative serum albumin level,direct bilirubin level(DBIL),platelet count,causes of liver resection(cancer or others),and cirrhosis were significant predictors of PHLF.The nomogram risk prediction model based on preoperative serum albumin level,DBIL,platelet count,causes of liver resection(cancer or others),cirrhosis and post-blocking blood potassium concentration can better predict the occurrence of PHLF.CONCLUSION For patients undergoing liver resection with CLCVP,serum albumin level,DBIL,platelet count,causes of liver resection(cancer or others),and cirrhosis are independent preoperative risk factors for PHLF.

文摘With the growing demand for offshore energy,deepwater drilling has become a vital technology in petroleum engineering.However,conventional drilling systems often face limitations such as delayed bottomhole pressure response and low control precision,particularly under narrow pressure window and complex formation conditions.To address these challenges,Dual-layer Pipe dual-gradient drilling(DGD)technology has been introduced,utilizing a dual-pipe structure and downhole lift pumps to extend the pressure control range.Despite these advantages,current DGD systems lack fast and precise bottomhole pressure control due to their reliance on indirect flow-based methods.This study proposes a bottomhole pressure control method based on backpressure regulation using a hybrid fuzzy-PID control strategy.A dynamic pressure calculation model is developed for the Dual-layer Pipe DGD system,incorporating coupling among choke valve opening,surface backpressure,and bottomhole pressure.The fuzzy-PID controller adjusts valve operation in real-time based on pressure deviation and its rate of change,improving response speed and control accuracy.Simulink-based simulations demonstrate that the proposed system achieves rapid pressure regulation with an overshoot below 5%and steady-state error under 0.12%.Compared to conventional PID control,the fuzzy-PID system shows superior adaptability to pressure variations.This research enhances the theoretical foundation of backpressure control in deepwater DGD operations and provides a practical approach for improving safety and efficiency in complex drilling environments.

文摘Accurately evaluating the quality and scale of deep oil and gas reservoirs is the key to effectively exploring and developing deep oil and gas resources.Changes in temperature and pressure can cause significant variations in key reservoir quality para meters,such as porosity,permeability,and satu ration,leading to distortions in oil and gas reserve assessments.To addresses the technical bottleneck of the existing pressu re-preserved coring systems,which has a pressure-preserved ca pacity not exceed 70 MPa due to the limitations of small coring space,a complex coring environment,significant disturbance during the coring process,and the difficulty in controlling coring operations,a self-sealing control principle and method for pressure-preserved coring was proposed.The sealing structural parameters of the pressure-preserved controller(PPC) under high temperature(150℃) were optimized through experiments and numerical simulations,the sealing failure mechanism was thoroughly revealed,and the pressure-preserved capacity of the PPC under high temperature was enhanced from 100 to 140 MPa.In addition,to achieve the temperature preservation of the core in the deep oil and gas environment,a temperature preservation system combining active and passive temperature preservation was designed and integrated into the deep oil and gas in-situ temperature pressure preserved(ITPP) coring system.Finally,the coring function and temperature pressure preserved capacity of the ITPP coring system were verified through field and laboratory tests.The results show that the developed ITPP coring system can successfully achieve the temperature pressure preserved function,and can sample oil and gas-bearing core samples with a diameter of 50 mm and a maximum length of 1000 mm from wells up to 5000 m.This study addresses the urgent need for reliable and effective pressure-preservation in deep oil and gas exploration.

文摘To address the control accuracy of large fuel flowrate during pressure fluctuation,a novel electro-hydraulic fuel metering unit(FMU)is constructed for afterburner fuel system of military aeroengine.Different from the previous FMU,the proposed FMU can achieve the higher precision opening control by a new metering valve with double control chambers(MVDCC),and realize the lower pressure difference fluctuation regulating by a novel two-stage constant pressure difference compensated valve(CPDCV)with dynamic damping orifice and damping piston.The experimental and AMESim simulation results verify the validity and superiority of the novel FMU.Since the temperature-induced variation in fuel properties and device capabilities may degrade or even impair the properties of novel FMU,the discharge flowrate is analyzed by global sensitivity analysis to research the effect proportion of each factor,the temperature effect is explored to ensure the working reliability in long-span temperature variation.Finally,the optimization of structure parameters for novel CPDCV can further reduce pressure difference fluctuation during pressure regulation,and the overshoot,adjust time and the integral of time multiplied by absolute value of error(ITAE)can be reduced by 24%,30%and 26%,respectively.This paper provides a reference for improving the stability of large flowrate during pressure fluctuation.

文摘The design of high-lift Low-Pressure Turbines(LPTs)causes the separation of the boundary layer on the suction side of the blade and leads to a strong secondary flow.This present study aims to minimize secondary losses through endwall slot suction and incoming wakes in a front-loaded high-lift LPT cascade with Zweifel of 1.58 under low Reynolds number of 25000.Two slotted schemes for the boundary layer of the endwall were designed(Plan A and Plan B),and the effects of suction mass flow on secondary flow were studied.The underlying physics of the endwall boundary layer of the suction and secondary flow under unsteady wakes was discussed.The results show that slot suction at the endwall boundary layer can significantly suppress the secondary flow by removing low-momentum fluids.Plans A and B significantly reduced the secondary kinetic energy by 44.2%and 36.9%,respectively,compared with the baseline cascade at the suction mass flow ratios of 1%.With an increase in the mass flow ratio of suction,the secondary flow was gradually reduced in both Plans A and B.It is more beneficial to control the secondary flow to destroy the intersection of the pressure side and suction side of the horseshoe vortex before it develops into a passage vortex.Under unsteady wakes,the combined effects of incoming wakes and endwall boundary layer suction can further suppress the secondary flow at the suction mass flow ratios of 2%for Plan A,because the positive and negative vorticity inside upstream wakes accelerated the mixing of the main flow and secondary flow and thus increased the energy of secondary vortices.
文摘Aim: To evaluate the effects of retrospective quality control on pressure-flow data with computer-based urodynamic systems from men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods: A total of 582 traces of pressure-flow study from 181 men with BPH was included in the study. For each trace, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and detrusor pressure at Qmax (pdet.Qmax) were, respectively, read from manually smoothed and corrected uroflow and detrusor pressure curves from the computer print-outs. Obstruction coefficient, International Continence Society (ICS) and Schaefer nomograms were used to detect urethral resistance and to diagnose obstruction. The results obtained by manual reading were compared with those from computer-based systems. Results: After manual correction, Qmax underwent a consistently significant decrease by 1.2 mL/s on average (P 〈 0.001), and had a change range of 0.5-10.4 mL/s. However, pdet.Qmax underwent inconsistently intra-individual changes after correction. The obstruction coefficient increased significantly, by an average of 0.07 (P 〈 0.05). Using the ICS nomogram, the percentage of obstruction increased from 69.8% to 73.9%, and of the non-obstruction decreased from 8.8% to 5.3% (P 〈 0.05). There were 11% of traces that changed the classifications using the ICS nomogram, and 28.9% that changed the grades for the Schaefer nomogram. Conclusion: Systematically significant differences in parameters from pres- sure-flow study between manual readings and computer recordings were demonstrated. Manual correction resulted in a consistently lower Q a higher urethral resistance, and an aggravating obstruction. Manual readings can correct considerable false diagnoses for obstruction. Retrospective quality control of pressure-flow data with com- puter-based systems is necessary.

文摘Smoke-wire flow visualization is conducted carefully in a laminar junction to explore the physical behavior of laminar junction flows. The two-dimensional(2 D)velocity fields in the 30?plane of a laminar junction flow are acquired by a time-resolved particle image velocimetry(PIV) system at a frame rate of 1 kHz, based on which the unsteady fluctuating pressure fields can be calculated by the multi-path integration method proposed in the literature(GAND, F., DECK, S., BRUNET,V., and SAGAUT, P. Flow dynamics past a simplified wing body junction. Physics of Fluids, 22(11), 115111(2010)).A novel control strategy is utilized to attenuate the unsteadiness of the horseshoe vortices of the laminar junction flow, and the consequent effect on pressure fields is analyzed.
