Specifically, for the simplified case of constant stratospheric N^(2), the refractive index square of planetary waves has a theoretical tendency to increase first and then decrease with an increased N^(2), whereas the group velocity weakens. Mechanistically, this behavior can be understood as an intensified suppression of vertical isentropic surface displacement caused by meridional heat transport of planetary waves under strong N^(2) conditions. Observational analysis corroborates this finding, demonstrating a reduction in the vertical-propagation velocity of waves with increased N^(2). A linear, quasi- geostrophic, mid-latitude beta-plane model with a constant background westerly wind and a prescribed N^(2) applicable to the stratosphere is used to obtain analytic solutions. In this model, the planetary waves are initiated by steady energy influx from the lower boundary. The analysis indicates that under strong N^(2) conditions, the amplitude of planetary waves can be sufficiently increased by the effective energy convergence due to the slowing vertical energy transfer, resulting in a streamfunction response in this model that contains more energy. For N^(2) with a quasi-linear vertical variation, the results bear a resemblance to the constant case, except that the wave amplitude and oscillating frequency show some vertical variations.展开更多

文摘Residents living near drill-and-blast tunnels often experience disturbances from blasting operations.This motivates us to investigate the characteristics of airblasts and resulting noise through on-site monitoring at three tunnels.The research focuses on both the temporal evolution and spatial propagation of airblasts.Temporal analysis,including peak overpressure(POp),positive duration(PD),and Fourier main frequency(MF),emphasizes the relationship between airblast characteristics,blasting delays,and rock grade.It shows that airblast bandwidths are typically in the range of 3e200 Hz,with noise levels exceeding 130 dB,which is comparable to jet engines and rocket launch.Spatial propagation analysis reveals the impact of tunnel space on airblast propagation.Although POp and PD typically decrease with distance inside the tunnel,wave superposition can cause increased overpressure and prolonged durations at far-field distances(above 60 m kg^(-1/3)).Outside the tunnel,sound radiation was influenced by azimuth and was basically determined by sound power d an often-overlooked factor.To address the anisotropic propagation of airblasts,a predictive model was proposed for external noise levels,considering variables like distance,azimuth angle,initial sound power,and wave expansion.Validated by tests,this model successfully unifies data from three studies,helping to explain and predict airblast disturbances near tunnels.

文摘This study investigates the relationship between atmospheric stratification (i.e., static stability given by N^(2)) and the vertical energy transfer of stationary planetary waves, and further illustrates the underlying physical mechanism. Specifically, for the simplified case of constant stratospheric N^(2), the refractive index square of planetary waves has a theoretical tendency to increase first and then decrease with an increased N^(2), whereas the group velocity weakens. Mechanistically, this behavior can be understood as an intensified suppression of vertical isentropic surface displacement caused by meridional heat transport of planetary waves under strong N^(2) conditions. Observational analysis corroborates this finding, demonstrating a reduction in the vertical-propagation velocity of waves with increased N^(2). A linear, quasi- geostrophic, mid-latitude beta-plane model with a constant background westerly wind and a prescribed N^(2) applicable to the stratosphere is used to obtain analytic solutions. In this model, the planetary waves are initiated by steady energy influx from the lower boundary. The analysis indicates that under strong N^(2) conditions, the amplitude of planetary waves can be sufficiently increased by the effective energy convergence due to the slowing vertical energy transfer, resulting in a streamfunction response in this model that contains more energy. For N^(2) with a quasi-linear vertical variation, the results bear a resemblance to the constant case, except that the wave amplitude and oscillating frequency show some vertical variations.

文摘The electromagnetic wave absorption of silicon carbide nanowires is improved by their uniform and diverse cross-structures.This study introduces a sustainable and high value-added method for synthesizing silicon carbide nanowires using lignite and waste silicon powder as raw materials through carbothermal reduction.The staggered structure of nanowires promotes the creation of interfacial polarization,impedance matching,and multiple loss mechanisms,leading to enhanced electromagnetic absorption performance.The silicon carbide nanowires demonstrate outstanding electromagnetic absorption capabilities with the minimum reflection loss of-48.09 d B at10.08 GHz and an effective absorption bandwidth(the reflection loss less than-10 d B)ranging from 8.54 to 16.68 GHz with a thickness of 2.17 mm.This research presents an innovative approach for utilizing solid waste in an environmentally friendly manner to produce broadband silicon carbide composite absorbers.

文摘Using a recognition model of atmospheric gravity waves(AGWs),we identified 519 AGW events from the OH airglow images observed at the Dandong and Lhasa stations from 2015 to 2017.The 317 AGW events detected at the Dandong station have wavelengths ranging from 30 to 60 km,periods from 14 to 20 min,horizontal speeds from 30 to 60 m/s,and relative intensities from 0.4%to 0.6%,respectively.The parameters of 202 events recorded at the Lhasa station mainly vary within 15-35 km in horizontal wavelength,4-6 min in period,40-100 m/s in horizontal velocity,and 0.1%-0.3%in relative intensity.The occurrence rate peaks in winter and summer at Dandong and the peak in summer are absent at Lhasa because of the lack of convective weather.The seasonal propagation directions of the waves are influenced by both the wind field-filtering effect and the distribution of wave sources.In spring,because of the southeastward background wind field,fewer southeastward events are observed at the Dandong station.The situation at the Lhasa station is similar.In summer,both the Lhasa and Dandong stations are dominated by northeastward AGWs,which can be attributed to the southwestward wind.In autumn,ray-tracing results show that the events at Dandong mainly originate from wind shear,whereas the events at the Lhasa station are triggered by convective weather.The location of the wave sources determines the trend of the propagation directions at the Dandong and Lhasa stations in autumn.In winter,because of the eastward wind,more events are propagating to the southwest at the Dandong station.

文摘Internal solitary waves(ISWs)are an essential dynamic process in the ocean due to their large amplitude and long propagation distance.Traditional satellite observations provide only twodimensional observations of ocean signatures induced by ISWs.The Surface Water and Ocean Topography(SWOT)satellite has drawn significant attention due to its high resolution and threedimensional observation capabilities.SWOT can generate high-precision three-dimensional sea surface topography,capture sea surface undulations,and reveal ISW-related surface oscillations,thus offering a new perspective for studying ISWs.We collected 43 SWOT observations with clear ISW signatures in the Lombok Strait from August 2023 to June 2024.Based on collected data,the ISW imaging characteristics and distributions were analyzed,and the ISW-related sea level anomaly(SLA)data were measured by the SWOT to calculate the ISW amplitude and reveal the amplitude variations during the propagation along the wave crest.The ISW amplitudes generally range between 10 and 100 m,with most ISW amplitudes between 20 and 40 m.By analyzing two consecutive generated ISW packets,we identified the spreading effect along ISW wave crests,which manifests as ISW amplitude decrease with increase in propagation distance,and the amplitude distribution is non-uniform along the wave crest.Further analysis of the propagation paths of the maximum amplitude of ISW moving northward through the Lombok Strait revealed that these maxima are predominantly oriented in northeast direction.Finally,the relationship between the amplitude of ISW and the resulting SLA was analyzed.The Pearson correlation coefficient between these two variables is as high as 0.90,which suggests a strong positive correlation between amplitude and SLA.Furthermore,this relationship is closely related to the water depth,indicating that the three-dimensional sea surface observations provided by SWOT offer crucial observational data for the inversion of amplitudes of ISW.

文摘With growing concerns regarding electromagnetic pollution,low-cost,environmentally friendly,and high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption(EWA)materials have attracted significant attention.This paper reports on the synthesis of porous Fe_(3)O_(4)/C composites that incorporate dielectric and magnetic loss mechanisms via the carbothermal reduction method and optimization of waste ratio to enhance EWA performance.The Fe_(3)O_(4)/C composites with 10wt%soybean residues(Fe_(3)O_(4)/C-10),demonstrated the best EWA performance,achieving the minimum reflection loss of−56.4 dB and a bandwidth of 2.14 GHz at a thickness of 2.23 mm.This enhanced EWA performance is primarily attributable to improved impedance matching and the synergistic effect between dielectric and magnetic losses.Furthermore,radar cross-sectional simulations confirmed the practical feasibility of the porous Fe_(3)O_(4)/C composites.This study proposes a viable strategy for utilizing soybean residue and electrolytic manganese residue,highlighting their potential applications in EWA.
文摘This paper provides an overview of the global wave resource for energy exploration.The most popular metrics and estimators for wave energy resource characterization have been compiled and classified by levels of energy exploration.A review of existing prospective wave energy resource assessments worldwide is also given,and those studies have been collated and classified by continent.Finally,information about forty existing open sea wave energy test sites worldwide and their characteristics is depicted and displayed on a newly created global map.It has been found that wave power density is still the most consensual metric used for wave energy resource assessment purposes among researchers.Nonetheless,to accomplish a comprehensive wave resource assessment for exploitation,the computation of other metrics at the practicable,technical,and socio-economic levels has also been performed at both spatial and temporal domains.Overall,regions in latitudes between 40°and 60°of both hemispheres are those where the highest wave power density is concentrated.Some areas where the most significant wave power density occurs are in offshore regions of southern Australia,New Zealand,South Africa,Chile,the British Isles,Iceland,and Greenland.However,Europe has been the continent where most research efforts have been done targeting wave energy characterisation for exploitation.

文摘In channel reservoirs,a quantitative characterization of landslide-generated impulse wave-structure interactions is essential for evaluating potential damage to infrastructure and dams.In this study,the problem of landslide-generated impulse waves that attack a vertical wall was investigated in a wave channel via a smooth particle hydrodynamics(SPH)method coupled with a Chrono model.The results indicated that the longitudinal velocity beneath the leading wave crest of an incident impulse wave deviated significantly from solitary wave theory.Moreover,the variation rate in the vertical velocity along the water column coincided with the theoretical prediction only for small wave amplitudes.Nevertheless,the maximum run-up height of an impulse wave can be accurately predicted via the solitary wave theory.Moreover,the maximum wall force during impulse wave-wall interaction was significantly larger than that during solitary wave reflection,particularly for high incident wave amplitudes.Overall,the present study demonstrated some striking differences in the interactions of landslide-generated impulse waves and solitary waves with a vertical wall.

文摘The selection of an appropriate basic detonation wave flow field is crucial for improving the performance and geometric design of standing detonation vehicles.This paper employs a detailed chemical reaction model and solves the unsteady axisymmetric Euler equation to study the characteristics of the Axisymmetric Inward Turning Curved Detonation Wave(AIT-CDW)flow field and the parameters affecting the stability of the wave system structure of AIT-CDW flow field.The numerical results demonstrate a radial compression effect in the AIT-CDW flow field.This effect causes the detonation wave to have a shorter initiation length than oblique detonation wave flow field and the detonation wave angle to gradually increase with the flow direction postdetonation.The AIT-CDW flow field is confined space,making it prone to normal detonation waves when the detonation wave reflects from the wall.This phenomenon is detrimental to the stability of the wave system structure in the flow field.It has been observed that increasing the center body radius and decreasing the fuel equivalent ratio can effectively reduce the height of the normal detonation wave or even eliminate it.Additionally,a well-designed generatrix shape of the center body can enhance airflow,reduce choked flow,and promote the stability of the wave structure in the flow field.

文摘systematic verification and validation(V&V)of our previously proposed momentum source wave generation method is performed.Some settings of previous numerical wave tanks(NWTs)of regular and irregular waves have been optimized.The H2-5 V&V method involving five mesh sizes with mesh refinement ratio being 1.225 is used to verify the NWT of regular waves,in which the wave height and mass conservation are mainly considered based on a Lv3(H s=0.75 m)and a Lv6(H s=5 m)regular wave.Additionally,eight different sea states are chosen to validate the wave height,mass conservation and wave frequency of regular waves.Regarding the NWT of irregular waves,five different sea states with significant wave heights ranging from 0.09 m to 12.5 m are selected to validate the statistical characteristics of irregular waves,including the profile of the wave spectrum,peak frequency and significant wave height.Results show that the verification errors for Lv3 and Lv6 regular wave on the most refined grid are−0.018 and−0.35 for wave height,respectively,and−0.14 and for−0.17 mass conservation,respectively.The uncertainty estimation analysis shows that the numerical error could be partially balanced out by the modelling error to achieve a smaller validation error by adjusting the mesh size elaborately.And the validation errors of the wave height,mass conservation and dominant frequency of regular waves under different sea states are no more than 7%,8% and 2%,respectively.For a Lv3(H_(s)=0.75 m)and a Lv6(H_(s)=5 m)regular wave,simulations are validated on the wave height in wave development section for safety factors FS≈1 and FS≈0.5-1,respectively.Regarding irregular waves,the validation errors of the significant wave height and peak frequency are both lower than 2%.

文摘Flume experiments play a pivotal role in studying wave propagation,with wave elements typically assumed to remain constant in the perpendicular direction.However,evident cross wave phenomena were observed within flumes under certain conditions.This paper presents new analytical solutions for both primary and cross waves on double shoals in a flume via linear shallow-water equations,which may be used to idealize dynamic experimental configurations of coral reefs.The primary waves on double shoals are described by the associated Legendre functions,whereas the ultimate solutions are derived by considering the incident and reflected waves in front of a bathymetry and the transmitted waves positioned behind it.The effects of the angular frequency and topographic parameters on the primary waves are subsequently analyzed.Cross waves on double shoals constitute a type of topographically trapped wave whose solutions are formulated by combining the first and second types of the associated Legendre functions.The angular frequency is not only determined by the wavenumber but also influenced by the topographic parameters.Numerical experiments are conducted to investigate the generation mechanism of cross waves.The consistency between the numerical results and analytical solutions confirms the validity of the new analytical framework of cross waves on double shoals.
