Simulation of a convective flow forming a pattern of the human brain

To explain consistently determining the global shape of the brain, the vortex model of the brain was proposed by Nakada. He explained that structural organization of the brain is guided by the self-organization pattern based on the principal rule of free thermal convection. In the present study, a computer simulation of a simple thermal-driven convective-diffusive flow was performed to clarify the fundamental relation between this type of the flow and formation of the brain shape. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations containing the external force dependent on temperature, and an equation for temperature were solved with projection method. The multi-directional finite-difference method was employed to discretize the governing equations. Computational results were suitably visualized and found to be consistent with the arguments in the vortex theory that the thermal-driven convective-diffusive flow is an essential mechanism for determining the global shape of the human brain.     

A clustering-based approach to vortex extraction

Since vortex is an important flow structure and has significant influence on numerous industrial applications, vortex extraction is always a research hotspot in flow visualization. This paper presents a novel vortex extraction method by employing a machine learning clustering algorithm to identify and locate vortical structures in complex flow fields. Specifically, the proposed approach firstly chooses an objective, physically based metric that describes the vortex-like behavior of intricate flow and then normalizes the metric for applying on different flow fields. After that, it performs the clustering on normalized metric to automatically determine vortex regions. Our method requires relatively few flow variables as inputs, making it suitable for vortex extraction in large-scale datasets. Moreover, this approach detects all vortices in the flow simultaneously, thereby showing great potential for automated vortex tracking. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of our proposed method in comparison with existing approaches.

Flow visualization for an unconventional forebody

Some results of flow visualization are described for an unconventional fuselage with Erickson-like forebody. The experiment includes force measurement, surface oil flow visualization, and laser sheet flow visualization. Some results are also obtained from a CFD code for solving laminar Navier-Stokes equations. Although there are some differences between the model in the experiment and the model in the computation, the location of vortex on the models exhibits good agreements. The investigation in this paper shows that varying the forebody shape of fuselage can change the flow characteristics greatly and the Erickson-like forebody has potential to improve the lateral-direction stability of the aircraft at high angles of attack.     

Comparison of eight unwrapping algorithms applied to Fourier-transform profilometry

Phase unwrapping is a task common to many applications like interferometry imaging, medical magnetic resonance imaging, solid-state physics, etc. Fourier transform profilometry (FTP) values the height distribution of object, elaborating the interference between a plane reference grating and a deformed object grating. Since the height information is extracted from the phase of a complex function, the phase unwrapping is a critical step of the process. Several unwrapping algorithms are proposed in literature, but applied to measurement technologies different from FTP. The purpose of this paper is to define the performances of eight different unwrapping algorithms applied to FTP optical scan method and to define the best one. The algorithms chosen are: Goldstein's algorithm, quality guided path following method, Mask cut method, Flynn's method, multi-grid method, weighted multi-grid method, preconditioned conjugate gradient method and minimum L_p-norm method. The methods were tested on real images acquired by a FTP scanner developed and calibrated for these experiments. The objects used vary from simple geometries, like planes and cylinders, to complex shapes of common use objects. Algorithms were qualified considering the phase unwrapping errors, execution time and accuracy of the shape of objects obtained from the scan method in comparison with real ones. The results show that quality guided algorithm best fits in FTP application.

A unified-calibration method in FTP-based 3D data acquisition for reverse engineering

Reverse engineering plays an important role in product design and manufacturing due to the need for the improvement of existing products. Acquisition of 3D data of existing products is one of the most fundamental processes in reverse engineering. This paper proposes a unified-calibration method for Fourier Transform Profilometry (FTP)-based 3D data acquisition. In current FTP methods, the system parameters, such as positions and orientations of the camera and projector and the reference plane location, are needed to convert the phase map into 3D coordinates of the object. Generally, it is difficult to measure these parameters directly. Therefore, a calibration procedure is required in current FTP methods. In this research, a novel method is proposed for the calibration. Only one image is used to calculate all system parameters in the proposed method. The experiments show the method is simple and feasible for FTP-based 3D data acquisition.     

The Effects of Wettability on Primary Vortex and Secondary Flow in Three-Dimensional Rotating Fluid

The secondary flow driven by the primary vortex in a cylinder,generating the so called "tea leaf paradox",is fundamental for understanding many natural phenomena,industrial applications and scientific researches.In this work,the effect of wettability on the primary vortex and secondary flow is investigated by the three-dimensional multiphase lattice Boltzmann method based on a chemical potential.We find that the surface wettability strongly affects the shape of the primary vortex.With the increase of the contact angle of the cylinder,the sectional plane of the primary vortex gradually changes from a steep valley into a saddle with two raised parts.Because the surface friction is reduced correspondingly,the core of the secondary vortex moves to the centerline of the cylinder and the vortex intensity also increases.The stirring force has stronger effects to enhance the secondary flow and push the vortex up than the surface wettability.Interestingly,a small secondary vortex is discovered near the three-phase contact line when the surface has a moderate wettability,owing to the interaction between the secondary flow and the curved gas/liquid interface.     

BP neural network applied to 3D object measurement based on fringe pattern projection

In the fringe projection profilometry, the traditional triangle method, such as Fourier-transform profilometry (FTP), is difficult to recover the stepped shape object from the deformed fringe pattern. In order to solve this problem, the neural network is introduced to deal with this kind of fringe patterns and gain the three-dimensional (3D) information of the measured object. By training the network, the relationship between the deformed fringe pattern and the height of the object can be obtained, and thereby the height of the object can be obtained. Furthermore, the object can be reconstructed perfectly without knowing the optical parameters of the experiment system. An obvious merit of this network method is that it can recover the 3D object in a short time and only need one deformed fringe pattern. Computer simulations and experiment validate the feasibility of the method.

Fourier transform profilometry based on a fringe pattern with two frequency components

A modified Fourier transform profilometry (FTP) based on a fringe pattern with two frequency components is proposed, which provides a larger measuring range than that of the traditional FTP. We analyze the maximum measuring range and give an expression to describe the measurable slope of the height variation limitation of this method. The modified FTP provides us another approach to eliminate frequency overlapping. When the spectra distribution of a measured object is not spherical symmetry, we can avoid the frequency aliasing through projecting a fringe pattern with two frequency components, instead of increasing the density of the projected fringe and the resolution of a CCD camera. The theoretical analysis and primary experiments verified the method.

傅里叶变换轮廓术中滤波窗方位选择研究

在傅里叶变换轮廓术频域滤波过程中通常采用不对称的汉宁窗滤波窗来提取基频信号,当投影呈二维变化的光栅条纹时,采用的滤波窗长短轴方向和载频方向不吻合,会导致被测物体的部分高频信息丢失,从而影响相位展开的难易程度和系统测量的精度。分析比较物体高度的分布与频谱的关系,通过旋转滤波窗使其短轴方向与载频方向一致,可以保留物体的高频信息,降低相位展开的复杂度,提高测量的精确度。计算机模拟和实物实验结果表明滤波窗旋转滤波可以避免相位展开在物体高度突变处的出错,有效地提高测量精度。     

Radial phase modulated spiral zone plate for generation and manipulation of optical perfect vortex

We propose a novel diffractive element to produce a perfect vortex beam. Flexibility in creating any perfect vortex beam is one of the considerable advantages of this method. Moreover, simplicity in creating the element is another interesting feature of this technique. We simply produce the proposed element by shifting the phase of a spiral zone plate and demonstrate how the phase shift enables us to manage the size of the generated perfect vortex. Further studies illustrate that the shape of the vortex is preserved in a long focal depth, while the phase map rotates around the propagation axis. In addition, all experimental results denote congruence with the respective results from simulation.     

Fourier-transform profilometry calibration based on an exhaustive geometric model of the system

In Fourier-transform profilometry (FTP), the height information is extracted from the phase distribution through triangulation; the relationship between the phase and height distribution depends on the system parameters such as the relative position of the projector and the camera, the fringe frequency and the reference plane position. In this paper, we propose a novel calibration approach for FTP that uses calibration planes to calculate the system parameters. The main innovation of this method is the application of an exhaustive geometric model of the FTP that expresses the phase-to-height relationship in the most general way with a camera and a projector not aligned; the aberration due to optics is also considered and compensated for. The obtained calibration data have a precise physic meaning and can be easily compared with the real system. Tests on both simulated and real data showed that the proposed method is robust, even in the case on non-negligible noise level.     

On-line phase measuring profilometry based on phase matching

On-line phase measuring profilometry based on phase matching is proposed. While just one fixed sinusoidal fringe is projected on a measured object moving with the pipeline, deformed patterns modulated by the object moving at the same distance moment are captured synchronously by the CCD camera. The phase information of the object in those captured deformed patterns can be predicted using FTP method to assist the pixel matching so as to realize the point-to-point correspondence of the object in the captured deformed patterns. Meanwhile, the equivalent phase-shifting deformed patterns can be extracted. So the three dimensional shape of the object can be reconstructed successfully with an equal phase-shifting algorithm. Numerical simulation and experiments show feasibility and validity of the proposed method.     

Method for eliminating zero spectrum in Fourier transform profilometry

Windowed Fourier transform (FT) is introduced into Fourier transform profilometry (FTP) to extract zero component included in deformed fringe pattern without capturing two fringe patterns with π phase difference. First, we extract zero component of deformed fringe image using windowed FT and normalize it, then calculate the normalized Fourier spectra of deformed fringe image, finally subtract the zero component from Fourier spectra of deformed fringe image. We give the theoretical analysis of the proposed method. The experiment is carried out to demonstrate that the method can eliminate zero component and extend the measurable slope of height variation to nearly three times of the conventional FTP.
