The analysis shows that seven weak small mesoscale vortexes of tens of kilometers, correspondent to surface low trough or mesoscale centers, in the planetary boundary layer （PBL） in the mei-yu front were heavily responsible for the heavy rainfall. Sometimes, several weak small-scale vortexes in the PBL could form a vortex group, some of which would weaken locally, and some would develop to be a meso-α-scale low vortex through combination. The initial dynamical triggering mechanism was related to two strong currents： one was the northeast flow in the PBL at the rear of the mei-yu front, the vortexes occurred exactly at the side of the northeast flow; and the other was the strong southwest low-level jet （LLJ） in front of the Mei-yu front, which moved to the upper of the vortexes. Consequently, there were notable horizontal and vertical wind shears to form positive vorticity in the center of the southwest LLJ. The development of mesoscale convergence in the PBL and divergence above, as well as the vertical positive vorticity column, were related to the small wind column above the nose-shaped velocity contours of the northeast flow embedding southwestward in the PBL, which intensified the horizontal wind shear and the positive vorticity column above the vortexes, baroclinicity and instability.展开更多

Thus the resulting equations of the second moments of turbulent velocity fluctuations for the two kinds of large vortexes can be made closed. Meanwhile, the corresponding coefficients of diffusion in the previous paper[1] are improved,Finally, a closed set of numerically-solvable equations of turbulence model are obtained.展开更多

It point out that the merging and strengthening of GHV is one of the basic reasons for triggering the Xingtai earthquake. It is worthy to pay attention that the earthquake precursors ( for example ground temperature …) does not clear with the shorter distance from the epicenter. It is an urgent task for earthquake prediction to strengthen the supervision of some spatial temporal continuous elements (such as G.T, geomagnetism, ground tilt field, gravity, etc.) and carry out comprehensive analysis.展开更多

The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.展开更多

文摘Acoustic-vortex(AV)tweezers ensure stable particle trapping at a zero-pressure center,while particle assembly between two vortex cores is still prevented by the high-potential barrier.Although a one-dimensional low-pressure attractive path of particle assembly can be constructed by the interference between two independent cylindrical Bessel beams,it remains challenging to create two-dimensional(2D)neighboring vortexes using a source array in practical applications.In this paper,a three-step phase-reversal strategy of 2D particle assembly based on the synchronized evolution of a centrosymmetric array of M off-axis acoustic vortexes(OA-AVs)with a preset radial offset is proposed based on a ring array of planar sources.By introducing initial vortex phase differences of-2π/M and+2π/M to the vortex array,low-pressure patterns of an M-sided regular polygon and M-branched star are formed by connecting the vortex cores and the field center before and after the tangent state of adjacent OA-AVs.Center-oriented particle assembly is finally realized by a central AV constructed by coincident in-phase OA-AVs.The capability of particle manipulation in the lateral and radial directions is demonstrated by low-pressure patterns with acoustic radiation forces pointing to the field center during a synchronized central approach.The field evolution is certified by experimental field measurements for OA-AVs with different vo rtex numbers,initial vortex phase differences,and radial offsets using a ring array of 16 planar sources.The feasibility of particle assembly in two dimensions is also verified by the accurate manipulation of four particles using the low-pressure patterns of a four-sided polygon,a four-branched star,and a central AV in experiments.The three-step strategy paves a new way for 2D particle assembly based on the synchronize d evolution of centrosymmetric OA-AVs using a simplified single-sided source array,exhibiting excellent potential for the precise navigation and manipulation of cells and particles in biomedical applications.

文摘A mei-yu front process in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River on 23 June 1999 was simulated by using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-NCAR （PSU/NCAR） Mesoscale Model （MM5） with FDDA （Four Dimension Data Assimilation）. The analysis shows that seven weak small mesoscale vortexes of tens of kilometers, correspondent to surface low trough or mesoscale centers, in the planetary boundary layer （PBL） in the mei-yu front were heavily responsible for the heavy rainfall. Sometimes, several weak small-scale vortexes in the PBL could form a vortex group, some of which would weaken locally, and some would develop to be a meso-α-scale low vortex through combination. The initial dynamical triggering mechanism was related to two strong currents： one was the northeast flow in the PBL at the rear of the mei-yu front, the vortexes occurred exactly at the side of the northeast flow; and the other was the strong southwest low-level jet （LLJ） in front of the Mei-yu front, which moved to the upper of the vortexes. Consequently, there were notable horizontal and vertical wind shears to form positive vorticity in the center of the southwest LLJ. The development of mesoscale convergence in the PBL and divergence above, as well as the vertical positive vorticity column, were related to the small wind column above the nose-shaped velocity contours of the northeast flow embedding southwestward in the PBL, which intensified the horizontal wind shear and the positive vorticity column above the vortexes, baroclinicity and instability.

文摘A statistical analysis of the initial vortexes leading to tropical cyclone(TC)formation in the western North Pacific(WNP)is conducted with the ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis data from 1999 to 2018.It is found that TCs in the WNP basically originate from three kinds of vortexes,i.e.,a mid-level vortex(MV),a low-level vortex(LV),and a relatively deep vortex with notable vorticity in both the lower and middle troposphere(DV).Among them,LV and DV account for 47.9%and 24.2%of tropical cyclogenesis events,respectively,while only 27.9%of TCs develop from the MV,which is much lower than that which occurs in the North Atlantic and eastern Pacific.Such a difference might be ascribed to the active monsoon systems in the WNP all year round.Due to the nearly upright structure of mid-level convergence in the early pre-genesis stage,TC genesis efficiency is the highest in DV.Compared with MV,LV generally takes a shorter time to intensify to a TC because of the higher humidity and the stronger low-level cyclonic circulation,which is related to air-sea interaction and boundary-layer convergence.Further examination of the relationship between tropical cyclogenesis and large-scale flow patterns indicate that the TC genesis events associated with LV are primarily related to the monsoon shear line,monsoon confluence region,and monsoon gyre,while those associated with MV are frequently connected with easterly waves and wave energy dispersion of preexisting TC.Compared with other flow patterns,tropical cyclones usually form and intensify faster in the monsoon confluence region.

文摘This paper presents a new kind of everage for the loeally-generated large vortexes so that the physieal quantities of the locally-generated large vortexes and the external large vortexes canberigorously separated from the equal ions for the large vortexes proposed in a previous paper[1] To the equations for the two kinds of large vortexes, some auxiliary relations are introduced, and the value, of the length-scale lN of energy dissipation of the external large vortexes may he determined according to the actual circumstances of the disturbance of external sources. Thus the resulting equations of the second moments of turbulent velocity fluctuations for the two kinds of large vortexes can be made closed. Meanwhile, the corresponding coefficients of diffusion in the previous paper[1] are improved,Finally, a closed set of numerically-solvable equations of turbulence model are obtained.

文摘Orientations of laser induced periodic surface structures(LIPSS)are usually considered to be governed by the laser polarization state.In this work,we unveil that fluid dynamics induced by femtosecond(fs)laser ablation in liquid(fs-LAL)can easily break this polarization restriction to produce irregular circular-LIPSS(CLIPPS)and crisscross-LIPSS(CCLIPSS).Fs laser ablation of silicon in water shows formation of diverse LIPSS depending on ablation conditions.At a high power of 700 mW(repetition rate of 100 kHz,pulse duration of 457 fs and wavelength of 1045 nm),single/twin CLIPSS are produced at the bottom of macropores of several microns in diameter due to the formation of strong liquid vortexes and occurrence of the vortex shedding effect.Theoretical simulations validate our speculation about the formation of liquid vortex with an ultrahigh static pressure,which can induce the microstructure trenches and cracks at the sidewalls for fs-LAL of Si and tungsten(W)in water,respectively.At a low power of 50 mW,weak liquid vortexes are produced,which only give birth to curved LIPSS in the valleys of grooves.Consequently,it is deduced that liquid vortex plays a crucial role in the formation of macropores.Mountain-like microstructures induce complex fluid dynamics which can cause the formation of CCLIPSS on them.It is believed that liquid vortexes and fluid dynamics presented in this work open up new possibilities to diversify the morphologies of LIPSS formed by fs-LAL.

文摘The northeastern China cold vortex(NCCV)plays an important role in regional rainstorms over East Asia.Using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Final reanalysis dataset and the Global Precipitation Measurement product,an objective algorithm for identifying heavy-precipitation NCCV(HPCV)events was designed,and the climatological features of 164 HPCV events from 2001 to 2019 were investigated.The number of HPCV events showed an upward linear trend,with the highest frequency of occurrence in summer.The most active region of HPCV samples was the Northeast China Plain between 40°–55°N.Most HPCV events lasted 3–5 days and had radii ranging from 250 to 1000 km.The duration of HPCV events with larger sizes was longer.About half of the HPCV events moved into(moved out of)the definition region(35°–60°N,115°–145°E),and half initiated(dissipated)within the region.The initial position was close to the western boundary of the definition region,and the final position was mainly near the eastern boundary.The locations associated with the precipitation were mostly concentrated within 2000 km southeast of the HPCV systems,and they were farther from the center in the cold season than in the warm season.

文摘Using the NCEP 1°×1°reanalysis data,several obvious differences of the structural characteristics of developed versus undeveloped mid-level vortexes are studied.First,the central vorticity of the developed mid-level vortex increases towards higher levels while the undeveloped one decreases.The low-level convergence structure maintains well in the developed mid-level vortex whereas the undeveloped one does badly.Second,on the one hand,according to the symmetric analysis,the horizontal wind field and wind vertical section of the developed mid-level vortex are well symmetric while those of the undeveloped one are less symmetric.Meanwhile,weak wind vertical shear help the developed mid-level vortex to establish a warm core in upper-and mid-levels of the troposphere.On the other hand,according to the balance analysis,better balance between wind and pressure is shown in the mid-and lower-levels of the troposphere of the developed mid-level vortex than in those of the undeveloped vortex.Third,positive anomaly of potential vorticity is enhanced and developed in the vertical direction of the developed vortex.However,the undeveloped vortex weakens with a weak positive anomaly.
文摘In the three-vortex model theory of turbulence[1,2] and double and the triple velocity correlation functions of small vortexes were employed.

Finally, by using these coefficients, the decay of grid-produced trubulence is calculated. The result of calculations gives good agreement with the experimental data of G.K.

文摘The effect of nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge(NS-DBD) plasma flow separation control is closely related to the actuation frequency,because it involves the interaction between plasma-induced vortexes and separated flow.In order to study the mechanism of NS-DBD plasma flow separation control over a swept wing,especially the influence of the actuation frequency,at first,experimental studies of the actuation frequencies at 100 Hz are conducted to validate the numerical simulation method.Then,numerical studies of different actuation frequencies which are 50 Hz,100 Hz,160 Hz,200 Hz,500 Hz,and 1000 Hz,respectively are conducted.The interaction between the plasma-induced vortexes and the separated flow is analyzed.Results show that there is a range of the actuation frequency which includes the frequency(160 Hz) calculated by the average aerodynamic chord length to make the control effect good,but when the actuation frequencies are too low(50 Hz) or too high(1000 Hz),the control effect will get worse.The former is because plasmainduced vortexes disappear in a period within an actuation cycle;the latter is because plasma-induced vortexes cannot develop completely,resulting in a weak vortex intensity.
文摘The occurrence process of the Xingtai earthquake (1996) is discussed on the basis of evolution of small scale ground temperature fields on the background of large ground temperature field. It point out that the merging and strengthening of GHV is one of the basic reasons for triggering the Xingtai earthquake. It is worthy to pay attention that the earthquake precursors ( for example ground temperature …) does not clear with the shorter distance from the epicenter. It is an urgent task for earthquake prediction to strengthen the supervision of some spatial temporal continuous elements (such as G.T, geomagnetism, ground tilt field, gravity, etc.) and carry out comprehensive analysis.

文摘In this study,an objective algorithm to identify meso-γ-scale vortexes(MVs)using radial velocity observations from an S-band radar is developed.Then,for the 237 Extreme Hourly Precipitation(EXHP;>75 mm)records at the surface weather stations in the Pearl River Delta(PRD)during five warm seasons,the properties and environmental conditions of the EXHP-associated MVs are analyzed.Further,the spatiotemporal distributions of the MV,instantaneous rain rate,and EXHP are illustrated for three events with the most abundant EXHP records.The major findings are as follows.About 42%EXHP records are accompanied by 57 MVs,including 84%of weak shear intensity,12%of weak mesocyclone intensity,and 4%of moderate mesocyclone intensity,with the rotational speeds between 5 and12 m s^(-1),12 and 16 m s^(-1),and 16 and 21 m s^(-1),respectively.The duration and core depth of the MVs are highly correlated(coefficient of 0.67)with averages of 39 min and 699 m,respectively.The hourly rainfall accumulation of an EXHP tends to increase with the influencing duration of MVs on the EXHP,while a majority of MVs might result from the EXHP-associated forcing such as condensational latent heating.Relative to the EXHP events with MVs in the United States,those in the PRD feature smaller environmental 0-3-km storm relative helicity(SRH)and 0-1-km vertical wind shear(VWS).However,compared to the non-rotational EXHP in the PRD,the rotational EXHP events are associated with significantly higher 0-1-km VWS,0-3-km SRH,humidity,and larger convective available potential energy.In the three selected events,rainstorms exhibit an irregular shape,a quasi-circular shape,and a quasi-banded shape of strong echo,respectively.The MVs are often located inside the strong radar reflectivity region,and some are next to its bow-shaped portion.Those longer-lived MVs with stronger rotation are collocated with the extreme 6-min rainfall accumulation(≥10 mm)in space and time,suggesting presence of positive feedback between low-level rotation and short-term rain rate.In the event influenced by a tropical storm,four MVs appear at almost the same location in succession and move along roughly the same path,forming an MV back-building process.

文摘This study examines the dynamics of axis-offset collisions between two vortex rings using particle image velocimetry(PIV)measurements.At a fixed Reynolds number,the influence of axial separation on the flow evolution is systematically investigated.Finite-time Lyapunov exponent(FTLE)fields and combined vorticity-velocity analyses reveal three distinct interaction regimes.(1)In the collision and radial outflow regime(H/R_(ring)0.893,where H is the axial separation distance and R_(ring)is the ring radius),vortex rings undergo axial compression and generate strong radial outflows,with negligible material exchange between oppositely signed vortices.(2)In the collision and rebound regime(H/R_(ring)=1.786),the rings—bearing the same sign—experience a near-elastic rebound,leading to disintegration without reconnection.(3)In the merging-splitting and recovery regime(H/R_(ring)=2.679),the rings exhibit transient merging followed by splitting and coherence recovery,accompanied by significant material exchange.For even larger offsets(H/R_(ring)=3.572),interactions are negligible.These findings categorize axis-offset vortex ring interactions into three regimes based on flow behavior and yield insights relevant to enhanced mixing and heat dissipation in engineering applications.

文摘This paper proposes a passive control method to reduce peak values of slipstream and turbulent kinetic energy in a high-speed train wake by attaching vortex generators(VGs)onto the upper surface of the tail car.The impact of the VGs is assessed through the improved delayed detached eddy simulations(IDDES)after validating predictions against previous experimental measurements and other numerical predictions for the base case.The simulations indicate that strategically installed VGs can reduce the average slipstream velocity(U slipstream)and the upper limit of slipstream velocity(U_(slipstream,max))by~17%and~15%,respectively,as well as moving the peaks downstream by approximately train height,thus reducing the danger posed by slipstream to waiting passengers and trackside workers.Analysis shows that the wake turbulent kinetic energy diminishes as the vortex generators decelerate the downwash flow and reduce shear production in the wake.It is also found that the presence of VGs significantly impacts the flow on the upper surface near the tail by modifying the unsteady trailing longitudinal vortices through the formation of additional counter-rotating longitudinal vortices from the VGs.These latter vortices prevent the merging of vortical airflow around the trailing nose tip,which is otherwise induced by the longitudinal vortex of the train.They also reduce vortex intensity through cross-annihilation and cross diffusion as the wake advects downstream,limiting outwards advection through interaction with the image pair,and contributing to a decrease in the peak slipstream value.The method proposed offers a simple approach to wake control leading to significant slipstream benefits.

文摘This paper examines a model that combines vortex generators and leading-edge tubercles for controlling the laminar separation bubble(LSB)over an airfoil at low Reynolds numbers(Re).This new concept of passive flow control technique utilizing a tubercle and vortex generator(VG)close to the leading edge was analyzed numerically for a NACA0015 airfoil.In this study,the Shear Stress Transport(SST)turbulence model was employed in the numerical modelling.Numerical modelling was completed using the ANSYS-Fluent 18.2 solver.Analyses were conducted to investigate the flow pattern and understand the underlying LSB control phenomena that enabled the new passive flow control method to provide this significant performance benefit.The findings indicated that the new concept of passive flow control technique suppressed the formation of an LSB at the suction surface of the NACA0015 airfoil,resulting in a higher lift coefficient and improved aerodynamic performance.Improvements in LSB dynamics and aerodynamic performance through the passive flow control method lead to increased energy output and enhanced stability.

文摘This study presents a comprehensive analysis of 132 tornadic events in northeastern China from 2004 to 2023,utilizing radar and ERA5 reanalysis data to investigate the climatology,environmental drivers,and synoptic linkages with Northeast China cold vortices(NCCVs)of tornadic storms under different convective modes.Results reveal that discrete storms account for 70%of events,with clustered cells(CC)being the most frequent mode,while significant tornadoes(EF2+)are primarily associated with isolated cells(IC)and broken lines(BL).The storm mode distribution in northeastern China resembles that of the central United States but with a higher proportion of CC and lower IC.In contrast,southern China exhibits a higher frequency of quasi-linear(QL)modes(>50%),similar to European patterns.Although no single parameter clearly differentiates between all tornado modes,distinct morphological characteristics emerge through specific parameter combinations:NL modes are characterized by high 0-1 km storm-relative helicity(SRH1)and humidity but low 0-6 km shear(SR6),whereas IC modes display contrasting features with low SRH1 and high CAPE.Notably,83%of tornadoes are associated with NCCVs,preferentially forming in southeastern/southwestern quadrants.Strong tornadoes favor southeastern quadrants,while NCCV intensity correlates with tornadic distance from vortex centers.Three characteristic synoptic configurations emerge:(T1)strong deep vortices with vertically aligned cold troughs,generating southeast-dominant tornado clusters characterized by a high proportion of BL and QL modes;(T2)weaker vortices featuring sub-synoptic troughs,with southern-distributed events dominated by a predominance of the CC mode;(T3)transverse-trough systems exhibiting CAPE-SRH decoupling and reduced tornadic activity.This study enhances our understanding of tornadoes in northeastern China,informing future research on formation mechanisms,prediction methods,and disaster prevention strategies.

文摘In bio-inspired flapping-wing flight,lift generation and flexible deformation are intrinsically coupled.Thus,an experimental study is conducted to reveal the fluid-structure interaction mechanism for a flexible plate undergoing pitching and plunging motion,and theoretical models are proposed to predict either lift or deformation based on a series of simplifying assumptions.It is indicated that flexible plates can effectively reduce the amplitude of lift and pitching moment coefficients during dynamic stall,with increased flexibility leading to higher load reduction.To investigate the effect of plate flexibility on lift,a definition of effective angle of attack is proposed,incorporating the pitching and plunging motion and chordwise deformation of the flexible plate,which can reduce the hysteresis effect of the lift coefficient during dynamic stall.As a consequence,a theoretical model is developed to predict lift based on observed motion and deformation.On the other hand,another theoretical model is developed to predict flexible-plate deformation utilizing aerodynamic forces,revealing the effect of leading-edge vortex evolution on passive deformation.The influence of kinematic parameters,including the maximum effective angle of attack,reduced frequency,and Strouhal number,on the aerodynamic forces is further studied.Compared with the rigid plate,flexible plates exhibit lower sensitivity of aerodynamic forces to changes in kinematic parameters due to their inherent compliance and resulting deformation.The proposed theoretical models can serve as a reference for aerodynamic and deformation prediction in bio-inspired flexible structures.
文摘Characterized by high accuracy and operational simplicity,oil-film interferometry(OFI)has served as an effective wall-shear stress(WSS)measurement technique over the past decades.It utilizes the monochromatic light interference principle to measure the temporal variation of oil-film thickness caused by WSS,and calculates time-averaged WSS based on the variation of interference fringe width.However,small-scale noise,which is caused by defects on the target surface,ambient dust,and local oil-film non-uniformity,contaminates the interference fringe patterns and directly increases the measurement uncertainty.One practical way is to apply denoising methods to improve the accuracy of identifying the centroids of fringes.In the present study,quasi-bivariate variational mode decomposition(QBVMD)is proposed as a self-adaptive denoising method to remove small-scale noise.Since no characteristic information of fringe patterns is required in the QBVMD-based denoising method,it has higher accuracy and lower uncertainty than the conventional OFI denoising methods,which need to pre-set the mask signal or the bandpass frequency,i.e.,cross-correlation or spectral filtering.Thus,it facilitates the automatic identification of time-varying inhomogeneous fringes.Two sets of experiments,i.e.,WSS measurement on either a canonical flat-plate turbulent boundary layer(TBL)or a TBL perturbed by micro vortex generators(MVG),were conducted to validate the applicability of this QBVMD-OFI method.The former experiment shows that the accuracy of QBVMD-OFI is equivalent to near-wall high-resolution particle image velocimetry,and is considerably higher than that of a dual hot-film sensor.As for the latter,QBVMD-OFI provides sufficient spatial resolution to resolve fine WSS structures generated by MVG.

文摘By using the twice-daily atmospheric observation data from 1998 to 2012,station rainfall data,Tropical Rainfall Measure Mission（TRMM） data,as well as the plateau vortex and shear line year book,characteristics of the sustained departure plateau vortexes（SDPVs） are analyzed.Some new useful observational facts and understanding are obtained about the SDPV activities.The following results are obtained.（1）The active period of SDPVs is from June to August,most in July,unlike that of the unsustained departure plateau vortexes（UDPVs）,which have same occurrence frequencies in the three summer months.（2）The SDPVs,generated mainly in the Qumalai neighborhood and situated in a sheared surrounding,move eastward or northeastward,while the UDPVs are mainly led by the upper-level trough,and move eastward or southeastward.（3） The SDPVs influence wide areas of China,even far to the Korean Peninsula,Japan,and Vietnam.（4） The SDPVs change their intensities and properties on the way to the east.Most of them become stronger and produce downpour or sustained regional rainstorms to the south of Yellow River.（5）The longer the SDPV sustains,the more baroclinity it has.（6） When an SDPV moves into the sea,its central pressure descends and rainfall increases in all probability.（7） An SDPV might spin over the bend of the Yellow River when there exists a tropical cyclone in the East China Sea.It could also move oppositely to a landed tropical low pressure originated from the sea to the east of Taiwan or from the South China Sea.
文摘Vortexes induced by tsunamis,“tsunami vortexes”,pose a potential danger for ship evacuation,and their prediction is important to determine their role in navigation and safe vessel evacuation.This study simulated tsunami-induced vortexes in Osaka Bay and investigated their spatial and temporal scales using a port-resolved,high-resolution tsunami model based on a scenario for the largest tsunamigenic earthquake expected to occur along the Nankai Trough in the near future.Vortexes induced by tidal currents were also evaluated using a realistic tidal simulation for comparison with the magnitudes of the tsunami vortexes.The tsunami simulation identified the dominant areas of the tsunami vortexes characterized by the magnitude of the vorticity.Unified maps of tsunami speeds and vortexes showed the difficult areas for ship evacuation and indicated that these areas can persist after the approach of the leading wave around the entrances to port areas.The areas of tsunami vortex formation were largely deduced by analyzing the vorticity fields in the tidal simulations,because the magnitude of tsunami-induced vorticities was closely correlated with that of the tide-induced vorticities.The combination of tide and tsunami simulations can identify areas of tsunami vortex formation and provide valuable information to guide measures for safer vessel evacuation.
文摘By introducing noncanonical vortex pairs to partially coherent beams, spatial correlation singularity (SCS) and orbital angular momenta (OAM) of the resulting beams are studied using the Fraunhofer diffraction integral. The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.
