Ultrasound contrast agent harmonic imaging method based on frequency-modulated signal excitation

A nonlinear imaging technique that demodulated the second harmonic component of the response of the Ultrasound Contrast Agent (UCA) was proposed. The UCA perfusion imaging method has been investigated from three aspects, mathematics principle, simulation and ultrasound experiment, respectively. Frequency-Modulated (FM) signal excitation has been introduced to increase Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in medical ultrasound imaging firstly. A theoretical simulation and an ultrasound experiment were performed to investigate if a cosine enveloped frequency-modulated signal excitation could be applied in UCA imaging to increase SNR and Contrast-to-Tissue Ratio (CTR). To obtain a good imaging, suitable parameters and a right envelope on the transmitted signal were needed, and a gap was also needed between the transmitted signal bandwidth and the decoded match filter bandwidth. A harmonic image was obtained with using of coded excitation and the decoded filter. The results suggested that using this harmonic imaging method, image could be got with good SNR and CTR. At the same time, the acoustical results were agreed with the theoretical results well.     

Error analysis on dihedral angle of corner-cube reflectors in Fourier transform spectrometer北大核心CSCD

Fourier transform spectrometer is an important spectral analysis instrument. To research the influence of the dihedral angle error of corner-cube reflectors on interference quality of oscillating Fourier transform spectrometer, the theoretical analysis and computer simulation were carried out. According to the oscillating Fourier transform spectrometer model, the mathematical expressions of the interference intensity and modulation depth with dihedral angle error were deduced. The tolerance of dihedral angle was determined by the modulation depth criterion. The optical design software Zemax was used to establish the model for simulation and verify the results of theoretical derivation. According to the modulation depth criterion, the tolerance of dihedral angle obtained by the theoretical model is 2.52″, and that obtained by the Zemax simulation is 2.38″. The error is 0.14″, which is acceptable. The analysis results show that the established theoretical model is reasonable, which has certain reference value for the design and installation of oscillating Fourier transform spectrometers. © 2022 Editorial office of Journal of Applied Optics.

Finite element modeling of heating phenomena of cracks excited by high-intensity ultrasonic pulses

A three-dimensional thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model is built up to simulate the phenomena of dynamical contact and frictional heating of crack faces when the plate containing the crack is excited by high-intensity ultrasonic pulses.In the finite element model,the high-power ultrasonic transducer is modeled by using a piezoelectric thermal-analogy method,and the dynamical interaction between both crack faces is modeled using a contact-impact theory.In the simulations,the frictional heating taking place at the crack faces is quantitatively calculated by using finite element thermal-structural coupling analysis,especially,the influences of acoustic chaos to plate vibration and crack heating are calculated and analysed in detail.Meanwhile,the related ultrasonic infrared images are also obtained experimentally,and the theoretical simulation results are in agreement with that of the experiments.The results show that,by using the theoretical method,a good simulation of dynamic interaction and friction heating process of the crack faces under non-chaotic or chaotic sound excitation can be obtained.

Direct Numerical Simulation of Supersonic Turbulent Boundary Layer Flow

Direct numerical simulations of a spatially evolving supersonic flat-plate turbulent boundary layer flow with free Mach number M∞ = 2.25 and Reynolds number Re = 365000/in are performed. The transition process from laminar to turbulent flow is obtained by solving the three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations, using high-order accurate difference schemes. The obtained statistical results agree well with the experimental and theoretical data. From the numerical results it can be seen that the transition process under the considered conditions is the process which skips the Tollmien-Schlichting instability and the second instability through the instability of high gradient shear layer and becomes of laminar flow breakdown. This means that the transition process is a bypass-type transition process. The spanwise asymmetry of the disturbance locally upstream imposed is important to induce the bypass-type transition. Furthermore, with increasing the time disturbance frequency the transition will delay. When the time disturbance frequency is large enough, the transition will disappear.     

RT instability in cylindrical implosion of jelly ring

The interfacial RT instability experiments on imploding jelly liners in cylindrically convergent geometry have been performed. The liner‘s instability growth was observed clearly with a high-speed framing camera. Jelly liners have different initial perturbation forms on their inner and outer interfaces, being either smooth or sinusoidal. The initial perturbations also have different magnitudes and spatial frequencies (for example, mode n=-5, 10, 20). The experimental results show that the growth and coupling of perturbations on inner and outer surfaces are remarkably different. Meanwhile, the relevant 2-D numerical simulation of hydrodynamics combined with Level Set method has been performed. Using the numerical code, we can design the parameters of imploding jelly liner, and predict the experimental results. The results of simulation are demonstrated to be in good agreement with the measured data in a series of experiments.     

Direct numerical simulation methods of hypersonic flat-plate boundary layer in thermally perfect gas

High-temperature effects alter the physical and transport properties of air such as vibrational excitation in a thermally perfect gas,and this factor should be considered in order to compute the flow field correctly.Herein,for the thermally perfect gas,a simple method of direct numerical simulation on flat-plat boundary layer is put forward,using the equivalent specific heat ratio instead of constant specific heat ratio in the N-S equations and flux splitting form of a calorically perfect gas.The results calculated by the new method are consistent with that by solving the N-S equations of a thermally perfect gas directly.The mean flow has the similarity,and consistent to the corresponding Blasius solution,which confirms that satisfactory results can be obtained basing on the Blasius solution as the mean flow directly in stability analysis.The amplitude growth curve of small disturbance is introduced at the inlet by using direct numerical simulation,which is consistent with that obtained by linear stability theory.It verified that the equation established and the simulation method is correct.     

Rayleigh Scattering for An Electromagnetic Anisotropic Medium Sphere

Based on the scales theory of electromagnetic waves, the analytical expression of electrical fields inside an anisotropic medium sphere is studied. Differential scattering cross section and radar cross section （RCS） for an anisotropic spherical target are presented. The correctness of the obtained results is tested. The simulation results show that the scattering of an anisotropic sphere has the property of a dipole radiation under the condition of Rayleigh scattering. The larger the dielectric constant is, the stronger the dipole scattering is. Anisotropy in magnetism only has an effect on differential RCS. These results provide a theoretical base for the identification of anisotropic targets.     

Influence of GaAs substrate on the transmission performance of epitaxially grown Fabry-P'erot filter

The influence of GaAs substrate on the transmission performance of a multi-film Fabry-P’erot filter (FPF),fabricated by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition epitaxial growth on GaAs substrate,is investigated using the transfer matrix method.On the basis of the theoretical simulation,we determine that the quality of the resonant transmission peak of this epitaxially grown FPF (EG-FPF) deteriorates through splitting when the substrate is taken into account.Rapid periodic oscillation of peak-transmittivity along with the alteration of substrate thickness is also observed in the simulation results.Finally,a remarkably improved transmission performance of the EG-FPF is obtained by thinning the substrate down to a suitable thickness range through well-controlled grinding and polishing.     

Fast-scale border collision bifurcation in SEPIC power factor pre-regulators

In this paper we report a kind of fast-scale instability occurring in the single-ended primary inductance converter （SEPIC） power factor pre-regulator, which is designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode. Main results are given by exact cycle-by-cycle computer simulations as well as theoretical analysis. It is found that the instability phenomenon manifests itself as a fast-scale bifurcation at the switching period, which implies the occurrence of border collision bifurcation, or is related to the transition of the regular operating mode of the SEPIC. According to the theoretical analysis and simulation results, the effects of parameters on system stability, and the locations of the bifurcation points are confirmed. Moreover, the effects of such an instability on power factor and switching stress are also discussed. Finally, the occurrence of the asymmetric bifurcation locations is investigated. The results show that this work provides a convenient means of predicting stability boundaries which can facilitate the selection of the practical parameters.

为了研究液体横向射流在气膜作用下的破碎过程,采用背景光成像技术及VOF TO DPM方法进行了实验研究和仿真研究,模拟介质为水和空气.研究结果表明,液体射流在气膜作用下主要存在两种破碎过程:柱状破碎和表面破碎.Rayleigh-Taylor(R-T)不稳定性产生的表面波是液体射流发生柱状破碎的主要原因,气流穿透表面波的波谷导致射流柱破碎,破碎后的液丝沿流向逐渐发展呈带状分布.Kelvin-Helmholtz(K-H)不稳定性产生的表面波是液体射流发生表面破碎的主要原因,液丝和液滴从射流表面剥离.局部动量比对液体横向射流的破碎过程具有重要影响,当局部动量比较低时,液体射流的破碎由K-H不稳定性主导;随着局部动量比的增大液体射流的破碎逐渐由R-T不稳定性主导.液体射流的破碎长度及穿透深度均随局部动量比的增大而增大.

Laser-induced bubble formation and collapse in a nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor unstable interface in a thin layer of molten metal

Bubble formation and bubble collapse zones in a laser-induced nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instability were shown to follow the contours of a series of R-T shock-fronts generated on an irregular planar (terrace-like) target surface. Bubble formation occurs in the regime of target planar vaporization. Spatial variation of the bubble density distribution, the bubble size, and the bubble-bubble distance, as a function of distance from the shock front envelope, were determined. Bubble collapse occurs in the regime of planar-to-volume boiling transition and proceeds by the so-called “chain reaction” collapse mechanism inside a 2D bubble array. The contours of bubble generation and of bubble collapse were simulated by using the analytical model of Ott with variable phase and variable amplitude of R-T modes.     

爆轰产物的冷比内能与冷压的函数表达式

 猛炸药爆轰产物的状态可以用两相的强排斥-平动物态方程（简称为两相的排平物态方程）很好地描述。以爆轰产物分两段的等熵曲线为参考曲线的两相的排平（k, γ）物态方程,已经用于爆轰参数和强爆轰参数的理论估算,所得理论值与实验值符合得很好。为了更方便地估算爆温,有必要给出描述分子间相互作用的比内能项与压力项（分别简称为冷比内能与冷压）。参照描述分子间相互作用的Morse势和Mie势的排斥项,给出了带待定参数A、m、n和l的冷比能项和冷压项,这样的物态方程被称为两相的排平（A, m, n, l）物态方程。用TNT的{D, ρ₀}实验数据组,确定了两相的排平（A, m, n, l）物态方程的参数n=1和l=1/3,因此,可将其简称为两相的排平（A, m）物态方程。它适用于所有的猛炸药的爆轰产物。用硝基甲烷的强爆轰参数{p, D, T}实验数据组对其所做的检验表明,两相的排平（A, m）物态方程是恰当的爆轰产物物态方程。
