The 3D-SCALO problem is a challenging bilevel combinatorial optimization task, involving the optimization of discrete component assignment variables in the outer layer and continuous component position variables in the inner layer,with both influencing each other. To address this issue, first, a Mixed Integer Programming(MIP) model is proposed, which reformulates the original bilevel problem into a single-level optimization problem, enabling the exploration of a more comprehensive optimization space while avoiding iterative nested optimization. Then, to model the 3D geometric relationships between components within the MIP framework, a linearized 3D Phi-function method is proposed, which handles non-overlapping and safety distance constraints between cuboid components in an explicit and effective way. Subsequently, the Finite-Rectangle Method(FRM) is proposed to manage 3D geometric constraints for complex-shaped components by approximating them with a finite set of cuboids, extending the applicability of the geometric modeling approach. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed MIP model are demonstrated through two numerical examples"and a real-world engineering case, which confirms its suitability for complex-shaped components and real engineering applications.展开更多

The methodology for...A numerical investigation on the effectiveness of the actuator disc method in producing the interactions of multiple tidal stream devices via the 3D-RANS finite element model Telemac3D is explored. The methodology for the implementation of the source term to represent an array of 20 m rotor diameter turbines deployed in an idealized channel is reviewed and discussed in detail. Flow interactions between multiple turbines are investigated for a single row arrangement with only two turbines and a two row arrangement containing three turbines. The results demonstrate that the non-hydrostatic solver shows better agreement when validated against published experimental data. Notably,the mesh density at the device location can strongly influence the simulated thrust from the disc. Although the actuator disc model can generally replicate the wake interactions well, the results indicate that it cannot accurately characterize the flow for regions with high turbulences. While a model setup with the largest lateral spacing(1.5D) demonstrates excellent agreement with the experimental data, the 0.5D model(smallest gap) deviates by up to 25%. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the applied source term in reproducing the wake profile, which is comparable with the published data, and highlight the inherent nature of the RANS and actuator disc models.展开更多

For complex 3D geoelectric structure, tensor CSAMT is more suitable. In this paper, we discuss 3D tensor CSAMT forward modeling using the vector finite-element method. To verify the feasibility of the algorithm, we calculate the electric field, magnetic field, and tensor impedance of the 3D CSAMT far-zone field in layered media and compare them with theoretical solutions. In addition, a three-dimensional anomaly in half-space is also simulated, and the response characteristics of the impedance tensor and the apparent resistivity and impedance phase are analyzed. The results suggest that the vector finite-element method produces high-precision electromagnetic field and impedance tensor data, satisfies the electric field discontinuity, and does not require divergence correction using the vector finite-element method.展开更多

We first discretize the differential equation of the secondary potential field with mixed boundary conditions by using a seven-point finite-difference method to obtain a large sparse system of linear equations. Then, we introduce the theory behind the pairwise aggregation algorithms for AGMG and use the conjugate-gradient method with the V-cycle AGMG preconditioner （AGMG-CG） to solve the linear equations. We use typical geoelectrical models to test the proposed AGMG-CG method and compare the results with analytical solutions and the 3DDCXH algorithm for 3D DC modeling （3DDCXH）. In addition, we apply the AGMG-CG method to different grid sizes and geoelectrical models and compare it to different iterative methods, such as ILU-BICGSTAB, ILU-GCR, and SSOR-CG. The AGMG-CG method yields nearly linearly decreasing errors, whereas the number of iterations increases slowly with increasing grid size. The AGMG-CG method is precise and converges fast, and thus can improve the computational efficiency in forward modeling of three-dimensional DC resistivity.展开更多

However, the TE-based FD method only achieves high modeling precision over a limited range of wavenumbers, and produces large numerical dispersion beyond this range. The optimal FD scheme based on least squares （LS） can guarantee high precision over a larger range of wavenumbers and obtain the best optimization solution at small computational cost. We extend the LS-based optimal FD scheme from two-dimensional （2D） forward modeling to three-dimensional （3D） and develop a 3D acoustic optimal FD method with high efficiency, wide range of high accuracy and adaptability to parallel computing. Dispersion analysis and forward modeling demonstrate that the developed FD method suppresses numerical dispersion. Finally, we use the developed FD method to source wavefield extrapolation and receiver wavefield extrapolation in 3D RTM. To decrease the computation time and storage requirements, the 3D RTM is implemented by combining the efficient boundary storage with checkpointing strategies on GPU. 3D RTM imaging results suggest that the 3D optimal FD method has higher precision than conventional methods.展开更多

文摘Currently,there are a limited number of dynamic models available for braided composite plates with large overall motions,despite the incorporation of three-dimensional(3D)braided composites into rotating blade components.In this paper,a dynamic model of 3D 4-directional braided composite thin plates considering braiding directions is established.Based on Kirchhoff's plate assumptions,the displacement variables of the plate are expressed.By incorporating the braiding directions into the constitutive equation of the braided composites,the dynamic model of the plate considering braiding directions is obtained.The effects of the speeds,braiding directions,and braided angles on the responses of the plate with fixed-axis rotation and translational motion,respectively,are investigated.This paper presents a dynamic theory for calculating the deformation of 3D braided composite structures undergoing both translational and rotational motions.It also provides a simulation method for investigating the dynamic behavior of non-isotropic material plates in various applications.

文摘The identification of rock mass discontinuities is critical for rock mass characterization.While high-resolution digital outcrop models(DOMs)are widely used,current digital methods struggle to generalize across diverse geological settings.Large-scale models(LSMs),with vast parameter spaces and extensive training datasets,excel in solving complex visual problems.This study explores the potential of using one such LSM,Segment anything model(SAM),to identify facet-type discontinuities across several outcrops via interactive prompting.The findings demonstrate that SAM effectively segments two-dimensional(2D)discontinuities,with its generalization capability validated on a dataset of 2426 identified discontinuities across 170 outcrops.The model achieves 0.78 mean IoU and 0.86 average precision using 11-point prompts.To extend to three dimensions(3D),a framework integrating SAM with Structure-from-Motion(SfM)was proposed.By utilizing the inherent but often overlooked relationship between image pixels and point clouds in SfM,the identification process was simplified and generalized across photogrammetric devices.Benchmark studies showed that the framework achieved 0.91 average precision,identifying 87 discontinuities in Dataset-3D.The results confirm its high precision and efficiency,making it a valuable tool for data annotation.The proposed method offers a practical solution for geological investigations.

文摘The global demand for in vitro respiratory airway models has surged due to the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic.Current state-of-the-art models use polymer membranes to separate epithelial cells from other cell types,creating a nonphysiological barrier.In this study,we applied three-dimensional(3D)printing and bioprinting to develop an in vitro model where endothelial and epithelial cells were in direct contact,mimicking their natural arrangement.This proof-ofconcept model includes a culture chamber,with an endothelial bioink printed and perfused through an epithelial channel.In silico simulations of the air velocity within the channel revealed shear stress values ranging from 0.13 to 0.39 Pa,aligning with the desired in vivo shear stress observed in the bronchi regions(0.1–0.4 Pa).Biomechanical movements during resting breathing were mimicked by incorporating a textile mesh positioned away from the cell–cell interface.The epithelial channel demonstrated a capacity for compression and expansion of up to−14.7%and+6.4%,respectively.Microscopic images showed that the epithelial cells formed a uniform monolayer within the lumen of the channel close to the bioprinted endothelial cells.Our novel model offers a valuable tool for future research into respiratory diseases and potential treatments under conditions closely mimicking those in the lung.

文摘3D model classification has emerged as a significant research focus in computer vision.However,traditional convolutional neural networks(CNNs)often struggle to capture global dependencies across both height and width dimensions simultaneously,leading to limited feature representation capabilities when handling complex visual tasks.To address this challenge,we propose a novel 3D model classification network named ViT-GE(Vision Transformer with Global and Efficient Attention),which integrates Global Grouped Coordinate Attention(GGCA)and Efficient Channel Attention(ECA)mechanisms.Specifically,the Vision Transformer(ViT)is employed to extract comprehensive global features from multi-view inputs using its self-attention mechanism,effectively capturing 3D shape characteristics.To further enhance spatial feature modeling,the GGCA module introduces a grouping strategy and global context interactions.Concurrently,the ECA module strengthens inter-channel information flow,enabling the network to adaptively emphasize key features and improve feature fusion.Finally,a voting mechanism is adopted to enhance classification accuracy,robustness,and stability.Experimental results on the ModelNet10 dataset demonstrate that our method achieves a classification accuracy of 93.50%,validating its effectiveness and superior performance.

文摘Long-duration energy storage has become critical for renewable energy integration.While redox flow batteries,especially vanadium-based systems,are scaling up in capacity,their performance at the stack level remains insufficiently optimized,demanding more profound mechanistic studies and engineering refinements.To address the difficulties in resolving the flow inhomogeneity at the stack scale,this study establishes a multi-physics field coupling model and analyzes the pressure distributions,flow rate differences,active substance concentration,and electrochemical characteristics.The results show that the uneven cell pressure distribution is a key factor affecting the consistency of the system performance,and the increase in the flow rate improves the reactant homogeneity,with both the average concentration and the uniformity factor increasing with the flow rate.In contrast,high current densities lead to an increased imbalance between electrochemical depletion and reactant replenishment,resulting in a significant decrease in reactant concentration in the under-ribs region.In addition,a higher flow rate can expand the high-current-density region where the stack operates efficiently.This study provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the design of the stack components.

文摘Constructing an in vitro vascularized liver tissue model that closely simulates the human liver is crucial for promoting cell proliferation,mimicking physiological heterogeneous structures,and recreating the cellular microenvironment.However,the layer-by-layer printing method is significantly constrained by the rheological properties of the bioink,making it challenging to form complex three-dimensional vascular structures in low-viscosity soft materials.To overcome this limitation,we developed a cross-linkable biphasic embedding medium by mixing low-viscosity biomaterials with gelatin microgel.This medium possesses yield stress and self-healing properties,facilitating efficient and continuous three-dimensional shaping of sacrificial ink within it.By adjusting the printing speed,we controlled the filament diameter,achieving a range from 250μm to 1000μm,and ensuring precise control over ink deposition locations and filament shapes.Using the in situ endothelialization method,we constructed complex vascular structures and ensured close adhesion between hepatocytes and endothelial cells.In vitro experiments demonstrated that the vascularized liver tissue model exhibited enhanced protein synthesis and metabolic function compared to mixed liver tissue.We also investigated the impact of varying vascular densities on liver tissue function.Transcriptome sequencing revealed that liver tissues with higher vascular density exhibited upregulated gene expression in metabolic and angiogenesis-related pathways.In summary,this method is adaptable to various materials,allowing the rheological properties of the supporting bath and the tissue's porosity to be modified using microgels,thus enabling precise regulation of the liver tissue microenvironment.Additionally,it facilitates the rapid construction of three-dimensional vascular structures within liver tissue.The resulting vascularized liver tissue model exhibits enhanced biological functionality,opening new opportunities for biomedical applications.

文摘Three-dimensional geochemical modeling of ore-forming elements is crucial for predicting deep mineralization.This approach provides key information for the quantitative prediction of deep mineral localization,three-dimensional fine interpolation,analysis of spatial distribution patterns,and extraction of quantitative mineral-seeking markers.The Yechangping molybdenum(Mo)deposit is a significant and extensive porphyry-skarn deposit in the East Qinling-Dabie Mo polymetallic metallogenic belt at the southern margin of the North China Block.Abundant borehole data on oreforming elements underpin deep geochemical predictions.The methodology includes the following steps:(1)Threedimensional geological modeling of the deposit was established.(2)Correlation,cluster,and factor analyses post delineation of mineralization stages and determination of mineral generation sequence to identify(Cu,Pb,Zn,Ag)and(Mo,W,mfe)assemblages.(3)A three-dimensional geochemical block model was constructed for Mo,W,mfe,Cu,Zn,Pb,and Ag using the ordinary kriging method,and the variational function was developed.(4)Spatial distribution and enrichment characteristics analysis of ore-forming elements are performed to extract geological information,employing the variogram and w(Cu+Pb+Zn+Ag)/w(Mo+W)as predictive indicators.(5)Identifying the western,northwestern,and southwestern areas of the mine with limited mineralization potential,contrasted by the northeastern and southeastern areas favorable for mineral exploration.

文摘The development of digital twins for geotechnical structures necessitates the real-time updates of threedimensional(3D)virtual models(e.g.numerical finite element method(FEM)model)to accurately predict time-varying geotechnical responses(e.g.consolidation settlement)in a 3D spatial domain.However,traditional 3D numerical model updating approaches are computationally prohibitive and therefore difficult to update the 3D responses in real time.To address these challenges,this study proposes a novel machine learning framework called sparse dictionary learning(T-3D-SDL)for real-time updating of time-varying 3D geotechnical responses.In T-3D-SDL,a concerned dataset(e.g.time-varying 3D settlement)is approximated as a linear superposition of dictionary atoms generated from 3D random FEM analyses.Field monitoring data are then used to identify non-trivial atoms and estimate their weights within a Bayesian framework for model updating and prediction.The proposed approach enables the real-time update of temporally varying settlements with a high 3D spatial resolution and quantified uncertainty as field monitoring data evolve.The proposed approach is illustrated using an embankment construction project.The results show that the proposed approach effectively improves settlement predictions along temporal and 3D spatial dimensions,with minimal latency(e.g.within minutes),as monitoring data appear.In addition,the proposed approach requires only a reasonably small number of 3D FEM model evaluations,avoids the use of widely adopted yet often criticized surrogate models,and effectively addresses the limitations(e.g.computational inefficiency)of existing 3D model updating approaches.
文摘To address the problem that the display effect of hydrologic test data was not intuitive,the three-dimensional modeling technology of a hydrologic test reach based on GIS technology was proposed.The reach of of the Yellow River around Lanzhou hydrological station was selected to study three-dimensional modeling.The elevation data of river was processed through three-dimensional model constructing,water surface modeling and three-dimensional animation demonstration by using ArcGIS Pro software.Based on the historical highest flood level data of the test reach on September 15,1981,the real scene restoration was carried out based on the three-dimensional model,and the hydrological factors such as water depth and channel storage were analyzed.The three-dimensional modeling based on GIS technology can directly and realistically reflect the changes of topography and water surface of the test reach,and improve the application of hydrologic test results in flood control.

文摘Landslides are a type of natural disaster that can cause substantial harm to humanity.Monitoring and predicting the initiation of potential landslides is critical to avoiding losses due to disasters and economic activities.The impact of the controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric method on investigating landslide surfaces is assessed through numerical simulations with a finite element approach.A Dirichlet boundary condition is selected to match the truncated boundary,resulting in a remarkable improvement in simulation efficiency.Rederivation of the formulas for a layered medium adept to the controlled-source audiofrequency magnetotelluric method is necessary to determine the electromagnetic field at any location along the truncated boundary.After the reliability evaluation of the new codes,a landslide model with a slide surface is designed,and the characteristics of its electromagnetic field and the apparent resistivity are studied.Instead of the total electromagnetic field,which is strongly infl uenced by topography variation,the apparent resistivity should be used for sliding surface detection.The normalized pure anomalous electromagnetic field may also be employed to quickly assess the detectability of the sliding surface.Overall,this study demonstrates that the controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric method can be employed for investigating landslides,and recommends survey parameters,including configuration,frequency range,and length of survey line in landslide exploration.
文摘A physically-based numerical three-dimensional earthen dam piping failure model is developed for homogeneous and zoned soil dams.This model is an erosion model,coupled with force/moment equilibrium analyses.Orifice flow and two-dimensional(2D)shallow water equations(SWE)are solved to simulate dam break flows at different breaching stages.Erosion rates of different soils with different construction compaction efforts are calculated using corresponding erosion formulae.The dam's real shape,soil properties,and surrounding area are programmed.Large outer 2D-SWE grids are used to control upstream and downstream hydraulic conditions and control the boundary conditions of orifice flow,and inner 2D-SWE flow is used to scour soil and perform force/moment equilibrium analyses.This model is validated using the European Commission IMPACT(Investigation of Extreme Flood Processes and Uncertainty)Test#5 in Norway,Teton Dam failure in Idaho,USA,and Quail Creek Dike failure in Utah,USA.All calculated peak outflows are within 10%errors of observed values.Simulation results show that,for a V-shaped dam like Teton Dam,a piping breach location at the abutment tends to result in a smaller peak breach outflow than the piping breach location at the dam's center;and if Teton Dam had broken from its center for internal erosion,a peak outflow of 117851 m'/s,which is 81%larger than the peak outflow of 65120 m3/s released from its right abutment,would have been released from Teton Dam.A lower piping inlet elevation tends to cause a faster/earlier piping breach than a higher piping inlet elevation.

文摘Scalar CSAMT is only suitable for measurements in one and two dimensions perpendicular to geological structures. For complex 3D geoelectric structure, tensor CSAMT is more suitable. In this paper, we discuss 3D tensor CSAMT forward modeling using the vector finite-element method. To verify the feasibility of the algorithm, we calculate the electric field, magnetic field, and tensor impedance of the 3D CSAMT far-zone field in layered media and compare them with theoretical solutions. In addition, a three-dimensional anomaly in half-space is also simulated, and the response characteristics of the impedance tensor and the apparent resistivity and impedance phase are analyzed. The results suggest that the vector finite-element method produces high-precision electromagnetic field and impedance tensor data, satisfies the electric field discontinuity, and does not require divergence correction using the vector finite-element method.

文摘To speed up three-dimensional （3D） DC resistivity modeling, we present a new multigrid method, the aggregation-based algebraic multigrid method （AGMG）. We first discretize the differential equation of the secondary potential field with mixed boundary conditions by using a seven-point finite-difference method to obtain a large sparse system of linear equations. Then, we introduce the theory behind the pairwise aggregation algorithms for AGMG and use the conjugate-gradient method with the V-cycle AGMG preconditioner （AGMG-CG） to solve the linear equations. We use typical geoelectrical models to test the proposed AGMG-CG method and compare the results with analytical solutions and the 3DDCXH algorithm for 3D DC modeling （3DDCXH）. In addition, we apply the AGMG-CG method to different grid sizes and geoelectrical models and compare it to different iterative methods, such as ILU-BICGSTAB, ILU-GCR, and SSOR-CG. The AGMG-CG method yields nearly linearly decreasing errors, whereas the number of iterations increases slowly with increasing grid size. The AGMG-CG method is precise and converges fast, and thus can improve the computational efficiency in forward modeling of three-dimensional DC resistivity.

文摘Generally, FD coefficients can be obtained by using Taylor series expansion （TE） or optimization methods to minimize the dispersion error. However, the TE-based FD method only achieves high modeling precision over a limited range of wavenumbers, and produces large numerical dispersion beyond this range. The optimal FD scheme based on least squares （LS） can guarantee high precision over a larger range of wavenumbers and obtain the best optimization solution at small computational cost. We extend the LS-based optimal FD scheme from two-dimensional （2D） forward modeling to three-dimensional （3D） and develop a 3D acoustic optimal FD method with high efficiency, wide range of high accuracy and adaptability to parallel computing. Dispersion analysis and forward modeling demonstrate that the developed FD method suppresses numerical dispersion. Finally, we use the developed FD method to source wavefield extrapolation and receiver wavefield extrapolation in 3D RTM. To decrease the computation time and storage requirements, the 3D RTM is implemented by combining the efficient boundary storage with checkpointing strategies on GPU. 3D RTM imaging results suggest that the 3D optimal FD method has higher precision than conventional methods.

文摘Hypoxia is a typical feature of the tumor microenvironment,one of the most critical factors affecting cell behavior and tumor progression.However,the lack of tumor models able to precisely emulate natural brain tumor tissue has impeded the study of the effects of hypoxia on the progression and growth of tumor cells.This study reports a three-dimensional(3D)brain tumor model obtained by encapsulating U87MG(U87)cells in a hydrogel containing type I collagen.It also documents the effect of various oxygen concentrations(1%,7%,and 21%)in the culture environment on U87 cell morphology,proliferation,viability,cell cycle,apoptosis rate,and migration.Finally,it compares two-dimensional(2D)and 3D cultures.For comparison purposes,cells cultured in flat culture dishes were used as the control(2D model).Cells cultured in the 3D model proliferated more slowly but had a higher apoptosis rate and proportion of cells in the resting phase(G0 phase)/gap I phase(G1 phase)than those cultured in the 2D model.Besides,the two models yielded significantly different cell morphologies.Finally,hypoxia(e.g.,1%O2)affected cell morphology,slowed cell growth,reduced cell viability,and increased the apoptosis rate in the 3D model.These results indicate that the constructed 3D model is effective for investigating the effects of biological and chemical factors on cell morphology and function,and can be more representative of the tumor microenvironment than 2D culture systems.The developed 3D glioblastoma tumor model is equally applicable to other studies in pharmacology and pathology.
