The governing non-linear partial differential equations describing the problem are converted to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformations. The complex analytical solution is found by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The existing literature on the topic shows that it is the first study regarding the effects of Hall current on flow of an unsteady MHD third-grade fluid over an impulsively moving plane wall. The convergence of the obtained complex series solutions is carefully analyzed. The effects of dimensionless parameters on the velocity are illustrated through plots and the effects of the pertinent parameters on the local skin friction coefficient at the surface of the wall are presented numerically in tabular form.展开更多

The numerical results for the velocity and temperature fields are also presented through graphs. Bifurcations are discussed using shooting method. Comparisons are also made between the present results and those of previous work, and thus verify the validity of the provided numerical solutions. Important properties of thermal criticality are provided for variable viscosity parameter and reaction order. Further numerical results are presented in the form of tables and graphs for transition of physical parameters, while varying certain flow and fluid material parameters. Also, the flow behaviour of the reactive fluid of third-grade is compared with those of the Newtonian reactive fluid.展开更多

Second, inspired by the phenomenon of fluids continuously flowing while bypassing objects, the FIFDS for multiple UAVs is presented, which contains a Parallel Streamline Tracking(PST) method for formation keeping and the traditional IFDS for collision avoidance. Third, to rationally balance flight safety and collision avoidance cost, MEMS is proposed to generate moderate evasive maneuvers that match up with collision risks. Comprehensively containing the time and distance safety information, the 3-D dynamic collision regions are modeled for collision prediction. Then, the moderate evasive maneuver principle is refined, which provides criterions of the maneuver amplitude and direction. On this basis, an analytical parameter mapping mechanism is designed to online optimize IFDS parameters. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is validated by comparative simulation results and real flight experiments using fixed-wing UAVs.展开更多

This article presents the bubble breakup in viscous liquids at a microfluidic T-junction. Nitrogen is used as the gas phase, and glycerol-water mixtures with different mass concentration of glycerol as the liquid phase. The evolution of the gas−liquid interface during bubble breakup at the microfluidic T-junction is explored. The thinning of the bubble neck includes the squeezing stage and the rapid pinch-off stage. In the squeezing stage, the power law relation is found between the minimum width of the bubble neck and the time, and the values of exponents α1 and α2 are influenced by the viscous force. The values of pre-factors m_(1) and m_(2) are negatively correlated with the capillary number. In the rapid pinch-off stage, the thinning of the bubble neck is predominated by the surface tension, and the minimum width of the bubble neck can be scaled with the remaining time as power-law. The propagation of the bubble tip can be characterized by the power law between the movement distance and the time, with decreasing exponent as increased liquid viscosity.展开更多

The m...This work investigates water-based micropolar hybrid nanofluid(MHNF) flow on an elongating variable porous sheet.Nanoparticles of diamond and copper have been used in the water to boost its thermal conductivity. The motion of the fluid is taken as two-dimensional with the impact of a magnetic field in the normal direction. The variable, permeable, and stretching nature of sheet's surface sets the fluid into motion. Thermal and mass diffusions are controlled through the use of the Cattaneo–Christov flux model. A dataset is generated using MATLAB bvp4c package solver and employed to train an artificial neural network(ANN) based on the Levenberg–Marquardt back-propagation(LMBP) algorithm. It has been observed as an outcome of this study that the modeled problem achieves peak performance at epochs 637, 112, 4848, and 344 using ANN-LMBP. The linear velocity of the fluid weakens with progression in variable porous and magnetic factors.With an augmentation in magnetic factor, the micro-rotational velocity profiles are augmented on the domain 0 ≤ η < 1.5 due to the support of micro-rotations by Lorentz forces close to the sheet's surface, while they are suppressed on the domain 1.5 ≤ η < 6.0 due to opposing micro-rotations away from the sheet's surface. Thermal distributions are augmented with an upsurge in thermophoresis, Brownian motion, magnetic, and radiation factors, while they are suppressed with an upsurge in thermal relaxation parameter. Concentration profiles increase with an expansion in thermophoresis factor and are suppressed with an intensification of Brownian motion factor and solute relaxation factor. The absolute errors(AEs) are evaluated for all the four scenarios that fall within the range 10^(-3)–10^(-8) and are associated with the corresponding ANN configuration that demonstrates a fine degree of accuracy.展开更多

文摘Temperature is a critical factor influencing the performance of coal catalytic hydrogasification in bubbling fluidized bed gasifiers.Numerical simulations at various temperatures(1023 K,1073 K,1123 K,and 1173 K)are conducted to elucidate the mechanisms by which temperature affects bubble size,global reaction performance,and particle-scale reactivity.The simulation results indicate that bubble size increases at elevated temperatures,while H_(2)-char hydrogasification reactivity is enhanced.Particle trajectory analyses reveal that particles sized between 100 and 250μm undergo intense char hydrogasification in the dense phase,contributing to the formation of hot spots.To assess the impact of temperature on the particle-scale flow-transfer-reaction process,the dimensionless quantities of Reynolds,Nusselt,and Sherwood numbers,along with the solids dispersion coefficient,are calculated.It is found that higher temperatures inhibit bubble-induced mass and heat transfer.In general,3 MPa,1123 K,and 3-4 fluidization numbers are identified as the optimal conditions for particles ranging from 0 to350μm.These findings provide valuable insights into the inherent interactions between temperature and gas-particle reaction.

文摘In the application of high-pressure water jet assisted breaking of deep underground rock engineering,the influence mechanism of rock temperature on the rock fragmentation process under jet action is still unclear.Therefore,the fluid evolution characteristics and rock fracture behavior during jet impingement were studied.The results indicate that the breaking process of high-temperature rock by jet impact can be divided into four stages:initial fluid-solid contact stage,intense thermal exchange stage,perforation and fracturing stage,and crack propagation and penetration stage.With the increase of rock temperature,the jet reflection angles and the time required for complete cooling of the impact surface significantly decrease,while the number of cracks and crack propagation rate significantly increase,and the rock breaking critical time is shortened by up to 34.5%.Based on numerical simulation results,it was found that the center temperature of granite at 400℃ rapidly decreased from 390 to 260℃ within 0.7 s under jet impact.In addition,a critical temperature and critical heat flux prediction model considering the staged breaking of hot rocks was established.These findings provide valuable insights to guide the water jet technology assisted deep ground hot rock excavation project.
文摘Background:Isotonic crystalloids are recommended as the first choice for fluid therapy in acute pan-creatitis(AP),with normal saline(NS)and lactate Ringer’s(LR)used most often.Evidence based recom-mendations on the type of fluid are conflicting and generally come from small single-center randomized controlled trials(RCTs).We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the effect of balanced solutions(BS)versus NS on patient-centered clinical outcomes in AP.Methods:From four databases searched up to October 2024,we included only RCTs of adult patients with AP that compared the use of BS(including LR,acetate Ringer’s,etc.)with NS.The primary out-come was the disease advances from AP to moderately severe and severe AP(MSAP/SAP).Trial sequential analyses(TSA)were conducted to control for type-I and type-II errors and Grading of Recommendations Assessment,Development,and Evaluation(GRADE)was used to assess the quality of evidence.Results:Six RCTs were identified and included,involving 260 patients treated with BS and 298 patients with NS.Patients who received the BS had less MSAP/SAP[odds ratio(OR)=0.50,95%confidence in-terval(CI):0.29 to 0.85,P=0.01,I^(2)=0%;5 studies,299 patients],reduced the need of ICU admission(OR=0.60,95%CI:0.39 to 0.93,P=0.02,I^(2)=0%;5 studies,507 patients)and shorter length of hospital stay[mean difference(MD)=-0.88,95%CI:-1.48 to-0.28,P=0.004,I^(2)=0%;6 studies,558 patients;confirmed by TSA with high certainty]compared with those who received NS.The evidence for most of the clinical outcomes was rated as moderate to low due to the risk of bias,imprecision and inconsistency.Conclusions:BS,compared with NS,was associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with AP.However,given the moderate to low quality of evidence for most of the outcomes assessed,further trials are warranted.
文摘The tight sandstone reservoirs in the first sub-member of Chang 7 member(Chang 71)of Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Jiyuan area,Ordos Basin,show significant variations in microscopic pore-throat structure(PTS)and fluid mobility due to the influences of the northeast and northwest dual provenance systems.This study performed multiple experimental analyses on nine samples from the area to determine the petrological and petrophysical properties,as well as the PTS characteristics of reservoirs in different provenance-controlled regions.On this basis,the pore-throat size distribution(PSD)obtained from high-pressure mercury injection(HPMI)was utilized to convert the NMR movable fluid T2spectrum,allowing for quantitative characterization of the full PSD and the occurrence characteristics of movable fluids.A systematic analysis was conducted on the primary controlling factors affecting fluid mobility in the reservoir.The results indicated that the lithology in the eastern and western regions is lithic arkose.The eastern sandstones,being farther from the provenance,exhibit higher contents of feldspar and lithic fragments,along with the development of more dissolution pores.The reservoir possesses good petrophysical properties,low displacement pressure,and high pore-throat connectivity and homogeneity,indicating strong fluid mobility.In contrast,the western sandstones,being nearer to the provenance,exhibit poor grain sorting,high contents of lithic fragments,strong compaction and cementation effects,resulting in poor petrophysical properties,and strong pore-throat heterogeneity,revealing weak fluid mobility.The range of full PSD in the eastern reservoir is wider than that in the western reservoir,with relatively well-developed macropores.The macropores are the primary space for occurrence of movable fluids,and controls the fluid mobility of the reservoir.The effective porosity of movable fluids(EPMF)quantitatively represents the pore space occupied by movable fluids within the reservoir and correlates well with porosity,permeability,and PTS parameters,making it a valuable parameter for evaluating fluid mobility.Under the multi-provenance system,the eastern and western reservoirs underwent different sedimentation and diagenesis processes,resulting in differential distribution of reservoir mineral components and pore types,which in turn affects the PTS heterogeneity and reservoir quality.The composition and content of reservoir minerals are intrinsic factors influencing fluid mobility,while the microscopic PTS is the primary factor controlling it.Low clay mineral content,welldeveloped macropores,and weak pore-throat heterogeneity all contribute to the storage and seepage of reservoir fluids.

文摘Particle-fluid two-phase flows in rock fractures and fracture networks play a pivotal role in determining the efficiency and effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing operations,a vital component in unconventional oil and gas extraction.Central to this phenomenon is the transport of proppants,tiny solid particles injected into the fractures to prevent them from closing once the injection is stopped.However,effective transport and deposition of proppant is critical in keeping fracture pathways open,especially in lowpermeability reservoirs.This review explores,then quantifies,the important role of fluid inertia and turbulent flows in governing proppant transport.While traditional models predominantly assume and then characterise flow as laminar,this may not accurately capture the complexities inherent in realworld hydraulic fracturing and proppant emplacement.Recent investigations highlight the paramount importance of fluid inertia,especially at the high Reynolds numbers typically associated with fracturing operations.Fluid inertia,often overlooked,introduces crucial forces that influence particle settling velocities,particle-particle interactions,and the eventual deposition of proppants within fractures.With their inherent eddies and transient and chaotic nature,turbulent flows introduce additional complexities to proppant transport,crucially altering proppant settling velocities and dispersion patterns.The following comprehensive survey of experimental,numerical,and analytical studies elucidates controls on the intricate dynamics of proppant transport under fluid inertia and turbulence-towards providing a holistic understanding of the current state-of-the-art,guiding future research directions,and optimising hydraulic fracturing practices.
文摘Assessing the behaviour and concentration of waste pollutants deposited between two parallel plates is essential for effective environmental management.Determining the effectiveness of treatment methods in reducing pollution scales is made easier by analysing waste discharge concentrations.The waste discharge concentration analysis is useful for assessing how effectively wastewater treatment techniques reduce pollution levels.This study aims to explore the Casson micropolar fluid flow through two parallel plates with the influence of pollutant concentration and thermophoretic particle deposition.To explore the mass and heat transport features,thermophoretic particle deposition and thermal radiation are considered.The governing equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations with the help of suitable similarity transformations.The Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg’s fourthfifth order technique and shooting procedure are used to solve the reduced set of equations and boundary conditions.The integration of a neural network model based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm serves to improve the accuracy of predictions and optimize the analysis of parameters.Graphical outcomes are displayed to analyze the characteristics of the relevant dimensionless parameters in the current problem.Results reveal that concentration upsurges as the micropolar parameter increases.The concentration reduces with an upsurge in the thermophoretic parameter.An upsurge in the external pollutant source variation and the local pollutant external source parameters enhances mass transport.The surface drag force declines for improved values of porosity and micropolar parameters.

文摘Aiming to address the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) formation collision avoidance problem in Three-Dimensional(3-D) low-altitude environments where dense various obstacles exist, a fluid-based path planning framework named the Formation Interfered Fluid Dynamical System(FIFDS) with Moderate Evasive Maneuver Strategy(MEMS) is proposed in this study.First, the UAV formation collision avoidance problem including quantifiable performance indexes is formulated. Second, inspired by the phenomenon of fluids continuously flowing while bypassing objects, the FIFDS for multiple UAVs is presented, which contains a Parallel Streamline Tracking(PST) method for formation keeping and the traditional IFDS for collision avoidance. Third, to rationally balance flight safety and collision avoidance cost, MEMS is proposed to generate moderate evasive maneuvers that match up with collision risks. Comprehensively containing the time and distance safety information, the 3-D dynamic collision regions are modeled for collision prediction. Then, the moderate evasive maneuver principle is refined, which provides criterions of the maneuver amplitude and direction. On this basis, an analytical parameter mapping mechanism is designed to online optimize IFDS parameters. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is validated by comparative simulation results and real flight experiments using fixed-wing UAVs.

文摘The Gejiu tin-copper-(tungsten)(Sn-Cu-(W))polymetallic district is located in the southwest of the W-Sn metallogenic belt in the western Youjiang Basin,Yunnan,Southwest China.Abundant W minerals have been identified in the region via exploration.However,metallogenic sources and evolution of W remain unclear,and the existing metallogenic model has to be updated to guide further ore prospecting.Elemental and Sr-Nd isotopic data for scheelites assist in the determination of sources and evolution of the W-mineralizing fluids and metals in the district.Based on field geological survey,the scheelites in the Gejiu district can be categorized into three types:altered granite(Type Ⅰ),quartz vein(Type Ⅱ)from the Laochang deposit,and skarn(Type Ⅲ)from the Kafang deposit.Types Ⅰ and Ⅱ scheelites have low molybdenum(Mo)and strontium(Sr)contents,and Type Ⅱ scheelite has lower Sr contents than Type Ⅰ as well as higher Mo and Sr contents than Type Ⅲ scheelites.Varying Mo contents across the scheelite types suggests that the oxygen fugacity varied during ore accumulation.Type Ⅰ and Type Ⅱ scheelites exhibit similar rare earth elements(REE)patterns;Type Ⅲ scheelite contains lower REE content,particularly HREE,compared with the other scheelites.All scheelites exhibit negative Eu anomalies in the chondrite-normalized REE patterns.As the W-mineralization and two-mica granite share close spatial and temporal relationships,the negative Eu anomalies were likely inherited from the two-mica granite.Type Ⅰ and Type Ⅱ scheelites display varied(^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr)_(82 Ma)(0.7090-0.7141)andε_(Nd)(82 Ma)(from−9.9 to−5.4)values,similar to those of granite.However,Type Ⅲ scheelite exhibits lower(^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr)_(82 Ma)(0.7083-0.7087)and lowerε_(Nd)(82 Ma)(from−10.5 to−6.9)values than the two-mica granite.This indicates that the two-mica granite alone did not provide the ore-forming fluids and metals and that the Type Ⅲ scheelite ore-forming fluids likely involved external fluids that were probably derived from carbonate rocks.The implication is that highly differentiated two-mica granites were the source of primary W-bearing metals and fluids,which is consistent with earlier research on the origin of Sn ore-forming materials.
文摘The aim of this study is to address the issues associated with traditional magnetorheological fluid(MRF)dampers,such as insufficient damping force after power failure and susceptibility to settlement.In order to achieve this,a bidirectional adjustable MRF damper was designed and developed.Magnetic field simulation analysis was conducted on the damper,along with simulation analysis on its dynamic characteristics.The dynamic characteristics were ultimately validated through experimental testing on the material testing machine,thereby corroborating the theoretical simulation results.Concurrently,this process generated valuable test data for subsequent implementation of the semi-active vibration control system.The simulation and test results demonstrate that the integrated permanent magnet effectively accomplishes bidirectional regulation.The magnetic induction intensity of the damping channel is 0.2 T in the absence of current,increases to 0.5 T when a maximum forward current of 4 A is applied,and becomes 0 T when a maximum reverse current of 3.8 A is applied.When the excitation amplitude is 8 mm and the frequency is 2 Hz,with the applied currents varying,the maximum damping force reaches 8 kN,while the minimum damping force measures at 511 N.Additionally,at zero current,the damping force stands at 2 kN,which aligns closely with simulation results.The present paper can serve as a valuable reference for the design and research of semi-active MRF dampers.

文摘Bubble breakup at T-junction microchannels is the basis for the numbering-up of gas−liquid two-phase flow in parallelized microchannels. This article presents the bubble breakup in viscous liquids at a microfluidic T-junction. Nitrogen is used as the gas phase, and glycerol-water mixtures with different mass concentration of glycerol as the liquid phase. The evolution of the gas−liquid interface during bubble breakup at the microfluidic T-junction is explored. The thinning of the bubble neck includes the squeezing stage and the rapid pinch-off stage. In the squeezing stage, the power law relation is found between the minimum width of the bubble neck and the time, and the values of exponents α1 and α2 are influenced by the viscous force. The values of pre-factors m_(1) and m_(2) are negatively correlated with the capillary number. In the rapid pinch-off stage, the thinning of the bubble neck is predominated by the surface tension, and the minimum width of the bubble neck can be scaled with the remaining time as power-law. The propagation of the bubble tip can be characterized by the power law between the movement distance and the time, with decreasing exponent as increased liquid viscosity.

文摘Aiming at the leakage problem in the compact sandstone drilling of the Keziluoyi Formation in South-west Tarim,Nano-core-emulsion was prepared by coating modified nano-SiO_(2) with nano-emulsion,its particle size D50 is about 100 nm,with good dispersion stability.When 0.8%Nano-core-emulsion is added to 5%bentonite slurry,the fluid loss can be reduced by 40%,and the filter cake thickness can be reduced by 84%.Using a Nano-core-emulsion to optimize the plugging performance of potassium pol-ysulfonate drilling fluid can reduce the fluid loss of the drilling fluid by 52%,the resulting filter cake is dense and tough,and the thickness is reduced by 40%.Using the pressure conduction method to evaluate the plugging rate,the plugging rate of the drilling fluid of the Nano-core-emulsion on the core of the Keziluoyi Formation is 63.4%,which is 20.9%higher than that of the field drilling fluid.According to microscopic examination and CT scanning analysis,the material has the plugging characteristics of"inner rigid support+outer soft deformation"and has demonstrated good field application results.

文摘This work investigates water-based micropolar hybrid nanofluid(MHNF) flow on an elongating variable porous sheet.Nanoparticles of diamond and copper have been used in the water to boost its thermal conductivity. The motion of the fluid is taken as two-dimensional with the impact of a magnetic field in the normal direction. The variable, permeable, and stretching nature of sheet's surface sets the fluid into motion. Thermal and mass diffusions are controlled through the use of the Cattaneo–Christov flux model. A dataset is generated using MATLAB bvp4c package solver and employed to train an artificial neural network(ANN) based on the Levenberg–Marquardt back-propagation(LMBP) algorithm. It has been observed as an outcome of this study that the modeled problem achieves peak performance at epochs 637, 112, 4848, and 344 using ANN-LMBP. The linear velocity of the fluid weakens with progression in variable porous and magnetic factors.With an augmentation in magnetic factor, the micro-rotational velocity profiles are augmented on the domain 0 ≤ η < 1.5 due to the support of micro-rotations by Lorentz forces close to the sheet's surface, while they are suppressed on the domain 1.5 ≤ η < 6.0 due to opposing micro-rotations away from the sheet's surface. Thermal distributions are augmented with an upsurge in thermophoresis, Brownian motion, magnetic, and radiation factors, while they are suppressed with an upsurge in thermal relaxation parameter. Concentration profiles increase with an expansion in thermophoresis factor and are suppressed with an intensification of Brownian motion factor and solute relaxation factor. The absolute errors(AEs) are evaluated for all the four scenarios that fall within the range 10^(-3)–10^(-8) and are associated with the corresponding ANN configuration that demonstrates a fine degree of accuracy.
