Vagus ner...Orexins, produced in the lateral hypothalamus, are important neuropeptides that participate in the sleep/wake cycle, and their expres- sion coincides with the projection area of the vagus nerve in the brain. Vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to decrease the amounts of daytime sleep and rapid eye movement in epilepsy patients with traumatic brain injury. In the present study, we investigated whether vagus nerve stimulation promotes wakefulness and affects orexin expression. A rat model of traumatic brain injury was established using the free fall drop method. In the stimulated group, rats with traumatic brain injury received vagus nerve stimulation （frequency, 30 Hz, current, 1.0 mA; pulse width, 0.5 ms; total stimulation time, 15 minutes）. In the antagonist group, rats with traumatic brain injury were intracerebroventricularly injected with the orexin receptor type 1 （OXIR） antagonist SB334867 and received vagus nerve stimulation. Changes in consciousness were observed after stimulation in each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot assay and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the levels of orexin-A and OX1R expression in the prefrontal cortex. In the stimulated group, consciousness was substantially improved, orexin-A protein expression gradually increased within 24 hours after injury and OX1R expres- sion reached a peak at 12 hours, compared with rats subjected to traumatic brain injury only. In the antagonist group, the wake-promoting effect of vagus nerve stimulation was diminished, and orexin-A and OX1R expression were decreased, compared with that of the stim- ulated group. Taken together, our findings suggest that vagus nerve stimulation promotes the recovery of consciousness in comatose rats after traumatic brain injury. The upregulation of orexin-A and OXIR expression in the prefrontal cortex might be involved in the wake-promoting effects of vagus nerve stimulation.展开更多

The unsteady potential-based panel method is used to consider aerodynamics of finite thickness multi-bladed rotors, and the full-span free-wake method is applied to simulating dynamics of rotor wake. These methods are tightly coupled through trailing-edge Kutta condition and by converting doublet-wake panels to full-span vortex filaments. A velocity-field integration technique is also adopted to overcome singularity problem during the interaction between the rotor wake and blades. Helicopter rotors including Caradonna–Tung, UH-60A, and AH-1G rotors, are simulated in hover and forward flight to validate the accuracy of this approach. The predicted aerodynamic loads of rotor blades agree well with available measured data and computational fluid dynamics （CFD） results, and the unsteady dynamics of rotor wake is also well simulated. Compared to CFD, the present method obtains accurate results more efficiently and is suitable to rotorcraft aeroelastic analysis.展开更多

Furthermore,the approximate formulas with the chosen factors are selected to avoid sigularity and give finite result of the induced velocity on the Vortex line,and an equivalent viscous vortex core radius might be evaluated.As examples, the induced velocity calculations on the vortex ring and two turns of a skew vortex helix are performed, and the comparisons between the circular-arc vortex element and the conventional straightline vortex element (SLVE) are given.It is shown that this curved vortex element model is advantageous over the SLVE model and is suitable for the rotor wake analysis.展开更多

文摘The pneumatic probe is widely used for contact measurements in turbomachinery flow field research.However,it inevitably interferes with the original flow field,leading to additional errors,particularly in wake flow fields or transonic regions with significant pressure gradients.This study employed Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes delete and high-fidelity numerical simulation to investigate the impact of an inserted pneumatic probe on the wake flow field of a transonic turbine blade and compared it to the baseline flow field.Results indicate that the probe causes the shock waves premature occurrence in the high subsonic wake region near the turbine blade trailing edge.These shock waves affect vortex shedding by thickening the boundary layer near the trailing edge and changing the shedding pattern from high-frequency-low-energy to low-frequencyhigh-energy.In addition,the extra flow loss is incurred,and the blade's heat transfer characteristic is changed.This research provides a reference for testing experiments in complex transonic flow fields,guiding experimental researchers to minimize instrument interference with the original flow field.

文摘The comprehensive numerical simulation of the tower shadow effect on floating offshore wind turbines(FOWTs),an area less explored compared to fixed-bottom wind turbines,is presented in this study.The atmospheric boundary layer inflow and the joint north sea wave project random wave are used as the operating conditions for FOWT.The combination of computational fluid dynamics(CFD)software simulator for wind farm applications and turbine simulation tool OpenFAST is used to implement fluid-structure interaction calculations.The output power,platform motion,wake velocity deficit and vortex structures are analyzed to reveal the influence of the tower shadow effect on the FOWT.The results indicate that due to the fluctuation caused by the turbulent wind and the floating platform motion,the tower shadow effect of FOWT is less significant for its periodic power decay than that of fixed-bottom wind turbines.And according to the velocity deficit analysis,the influence area of the tower shadow effect on the wake is mainly in the near wake region.

文摘Large atmospheric boundary layer fluctuations and smaller turbine-scale vorticity dynamics are separately hypothesized to initiate the wind turbine wake meandering phenomenon,a coherent,dynamic,turbine-scale oscillation of the far wake.Triadic interactions,the mechanism of energy transfers between scales,manifest as triples of wavenumbers or frequencies and can be characterized through bispectral analyses.The bispectrum,which correlates the two frequencies to their sum,is calculated by two recently developed multi-dimensional modal decomposition methods:scale-specific energy transfer method and bispectral mode decomposition.Large-eddy simulation of a utility-scale wind turbine in an atmospheric boundary layer with a broad range of large length-scales is used to acquire instantaneous velocity snapshots.The bispectrum from both methods identifies prominent upwind and wake meandering interactions that create a broad range of energy scales including the wake meandering scale.The coherent kinetic energy associated with the interactions shows strong correlation between upwind scales and wake meandering.

文摘The study on ship wakes of synthetic aperture radar(SAR)images holds great importance in detecting ship targets in the ocean.In this study,we focus on the issues of low quantity and insufficient diversity in ship wakes of SAR images,and propose a method of data augmentation of ship wakes in SAR images based on the improved cycle-consistent generative adversarial network(CycleGAN).The improvement measures mainly include two aspects:First,to enhance the quality of the generated images and guarantee a stable training process of the model,the least-squares loss is employed as the adversarial loss function;Second,the decoder of the generator is augmented with the convolutional block attention module(CBAM)to address the issue of missing details in the generated ship wakes of SAR images at the microscopic level.The experiment findings indicate that the improved CycleGAN model generates clearer ship wakes of SAR images,and outperforms the traditional CycleGAN models in both subjective and objective aspects.

文摘The nucleus accumbens(NAc)plays an important role in various emotional and motivational behaviors that rely on heightened wakefulness.However,the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship between arousal and emotion regulation in NAc remain unclear.Here,we investigated the roles of a specific subset of inhibitory corticotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the NAc(NAcCRH)in regulating arousal and emotional behaviors in mice.We found an increased activity of NAcCRH neurons during wakefulness and rewarding stimulation.Activation of NAcCRH neurons converts NREM or REM sleep to wakefulness,while inhibition of these neurons attenuates wakefulness.Remarkably,activation of NAcCRH neurons induces a place preference response(PPR)and decreased basal anxiety level,whereas their inactivation induces a place aversion response and anxious state.NAcCRH neurons are identified as the major NAc projection neurons to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis(BNST).Furthermore,activation of the NAcCRH-BNST pathway similarly induced wakefulness and positive emotional behaviors.Taken together,we identified a basal forebrain CRH pathway that promotes the arousal associated with positive affective states.
文摘WT5 'BZThis paper presents an unsteady and nonlinear wake model based on th e widely used Peters He finite state dynamic wake model with improvements. The swirl component in the tip trace plane (TTP) can be predicted, nonlinear items are added into the linear theory, and the old small angle assumption use d in matrix prediction is removed. All of these enha ncements are aimed at the low speed flight phase and formulations for the induce d velocity field just in the TTP frame are derived. The corresponding FORTRAN pr ogram is tested and optimized for the real time applications on PCs.

文摘Orexins, produced in the lateral hypothalamus, are important neuropeptides that participate in the sleep/wake cycle, and their expres- sion coincides with the projection area of the vagus nerve in the brain. Vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to decrease the amounts of daytime sleep and rapid eye movement in epilepsy patients with traumatic brain injury. In the present study, we investigated whether vagus nerve stimulation promotes wakefulness and affects orexin expression. A rat model of traumatic brain injury was established using the free fall drop method. In the stimulated group, rats with traumatic brain injury received vagus nerve stimulation （frequency, 30 Hz, current, 1.0 mA; pulse width, 0.5 ms; total stimulation time, 15 minutes）. In the antagonist group, rats with traumatic brain injury were intracerebroventricularly injected with the orexin receptor type 1 （OXIR） antagonist SB334867 and received vagus nerve stimulation. Changes in consciousness were observed after stimulation in each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot assay and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the levels of orexin-A and OX1R expression in the prefrontal cortex. In the stimulated group, consciousness was substantially improved, orexin-A protein expression gradually increased within 24 hours after injury and OX1R expres- sion reached a peak at 12 hours, compared with rats subjected to traumatic brain injury only. In the antagonist group, the wake-promoting effect of vagus nerve stimulation was diminished, and orexin-A and OX1R expression were decreased, compared with that of the stim- ulated group. Taken together, our findings suggest that vagus nerve stimulation promotes the recovery of consciousness in comatose rats after traumatic brain injury. The upregulation of orexin-A and OXIR expression in the prefrontal cortex might be involved in the wake-promoting effects of vagus nerve stimulation.
文摘A full-span free-wake method is coupled with an unsteady panel method to accurately predict the unsteady aerodynamics of helicopter rotor blades in hover and forward flight. The unsteady potential-based panel method is used to consider aerodynamics of finite thickness multi-bladed rotors, and the full-span free-wake method is applied to simulating dynamics of rotor wake. These methods are tightly coupled through trailing-edge Kutta condition and by converting doublet-wake panels to full-span vortex filaments. A velocity-field integration technique is also adopted to overcome singularity problem during the interaction between the rotor wake and blades. Helicopter rotors including Caradonna–Tung, UH-60A, and AH-1G rotors, are simulated in hover and forward flight to validate the accuracy of this approach. The predicted aerodynamic loads of rotor blades agree well with available measured data and computational fluid dynamics （CFD） results, and the unsteady dynamics of rotor wake is also well simulated. Compared to CFD, the present method obtains accurate results more efficiently and is suitable to rotorcraft aeroelastic analysis.
文摘This paper describes an improved model of curved vortex element on the circular arc (CVEC) for rotor wake analysis.As the key of the paper,two approximate formulas are derived by the series of limited terms to replace the Legendre incomplete elliptical integrals from the Biot-Savart integration,and the analytical solution of the induced velocity for the CVEC is obtained, which is more efficient in the complex rotor free wake calculation. Furthermore,the approximate formulas with the chosen factors are selected to avoid sigularity and give finite result of the induced velocity on the Vortex line,and an equivalent viscous vortex core radius might be evaluated.As examples, the induced velocity calculations on the vortex ring and two turns of a skew vortex helix are performed, and the comparisons between the circular-arc vortex element and the conventional straightline vortex element (SLVE) are given.It is shown that this curved vortex element model is advantageous over the SLVE model and is suitable for the rotor wake analysis.
文摘In this study,the performance of a twin-screw propeller under the influence of the wake field of a fully appended ship was investigated using a coupled Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes(RANS)/boundary element method(BEM)code.The unsteady BEM is an efficient approach to predicting propeller performance.By applying the time-stepping method in the BEM solver,the trailing vortex sheet pattern of the propeller can be accurately captured at each time step.This is the main innovation of the coupled strategy.Furthermore,to ascertain the effect of the wake field of the ship with acceptable accuracy,a RANS solver was developed.A finite volume method was used to discretize the Navier–Stokes equations on fully unstructured grids.To simulate ship motions,the volume of the fluid method was applied to the RANS solver.The validation of each solver(BEM/RANS)was separately performed,and the results were compared with experimental data.Ultimately,the BEM and RANS solvers were coupled to estimate the performance of a twin-screw propeller,which was affected by the wake field of the fully appended hull.The proposed model was applied to a twin-screw oceanography research vessel.The results demonstrated that the presented model can estimate the thrust coefficient of a propeller with good accuracy as compared to an experimental self-propulsion test.The wake sheet pattern of the propeller in open water(uniform flow)was also compared with the propeller in a real wake field.

文摘In order to overcome the typical limitation of earlier studies,where the simulation of aircraft wake vortices was essentially based on the half-model of symmetrical rectangular wings,in the present analysis the entire aircraft(a typical A330-200 aircraft)geometry is taken into account.Conditions corresponding to the nearfield phase(takeoff and landing)are considered assuming a typical attitude angle of 7°and different crosswind intensities,i.e.,0,2 and 5 m/s.The simulation results show that the aircraft wake vortices form a structurally eudipleural four-vortex system due to the existence of the sweepback angle.The vortex pair at the outer side is induced by the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings.The wingtip vortex is split at the wing by the winglet into two smaller streams of vortices,which are subsequently merged 5 m behind the wingtip.Compared with the movement trend of wake vortices in the absence of crosswind,the aircraft wake vortices move as a whole downstream due to the crosswind to be specific,the 2 m/s crosswind can accelerate the dissipation of wake vortices and is favorable for the reduction of the aircraft wake separation.The 5 m/s crosswind results in significantly increased vorticity of two vortex systems:the wingtip vortex downstream the crosswind and the wing root vortex upstream the crosswind due to the energy input from the crosswind.However,the crosswind at a higher speed can accelerate the deviation of wake vortices,and facilitate the reduction in wake separation of the aircraft taking off and landing on a single-runway airport.
