凸形晶粒的各向异性三维von Neumann方程研究

三维晶粒长大规律是材料科学研究的核心问题之一, 本文通过考虑实际多晶组织中晶界能和晶界迁移率的不均匀性和各向异性因素对晶粒三晶棱处两面角大小的影响, 借助经典体视学中晶粒界面积分平均曲率与平均切直径的关系, 经推导得到了适合于凸形晶粒的一般性三维von Neumann方程, 结果表明实际凸形晶粒的准确长大速率可以表示为晶粒的平均切直径、三晶棱总长度和三晶棱处两面角的函数. 所得方程经过了Kelvin十四面体和5种规则多面体验证, 对于三维von Neumann方程(Nature, 2007, 446:1053)进一步推广并应用于实际金属和陶瓷材料具有重要的意义.     

Projection methods: an annotated bibliography of books and reviews

Projections onto sets are used in a wide variety of methods in optimization theory but not every method that uses projections really belongs to the class of projection methods as we mean it here. Here, projection methods are iterative algorithms that use projections onto sets while relying on the general principle that when a family of (usually closed and convex) sets is present, then projections (or approximate projections) onto the given individual sets are easier to perform than projections onto other sets (intersections, image sets under some transformation, etc.) that are derived from the given family of individual sets. Projection methods employ projections (or approximate projections) onto convex sets in various ways. They may use different kinds of projections and, sometimes, even use different projections within the same algorithm. They serve to solve a variety of problems which are either of the feasibility or the optimization types. They have different algorithmic structures, of which some are particularly suitable for parallel computing, and they demonstrate nice convergence properties and/or good initial behavioural patterns. This class of algorithms has witnessed great progress in recent years and its member algorithms have been applied with success to many scientific, technological and mathematical problems. This annotated bibliography includes books and review papers on, or related to, projection methods that we know about, use and like. If you know of books or review papers that should be added to this list please contact us.     

A note on formulations of static shakedown analysis with bounded kinematic hardening

Two different formulations for the two-surface model of bounded kinematic hardening can be found in literature on shakedown analysis with the von Mises yield criterion. This short paper explains that these two formulations are not equivalent, although there exists literature asserting that they are equivalent. More specifically, the formulation using the constraint on the stress is not a sufficient condition for the two-surface model. Consequently, the static shakedown analysis using this formulation over-evaluates the shakedown factor in general.     

横场中具有周期性各向异性的一维XY模型的量子相变

通过解析和数值计算的方法研究了横场中具有周期性各向异性的一维XY自旋模型的量子相变和量子纠缠.主要讨论了周期为二的情况,即各向异性参数交替地取比值为α的两个值.结果表明,与横场中均匀XY模型相比,α=-1所对应的模型在参数空间的相图存在着明显的不同.原来的Ising相变仍然存在,没有了沿x和y方向的各向异性铁磁(FM_x,FM_y)相,即各向异性相变消失,出现了一个新的相,并且该相内沿x和y方向的长程关联函数相等且大于零,我们称新相为各向同性铁磁(FM_(xx))相.这是由于系统新的对称性所导致的.解析结果还说明系统在FM_(xx)相中的单粒子能谱有两个零点,是一个无能隙的相.最后,利用冯·诺依曼熵数值地研究了系统在新相内各点的量子纠缠,发现该相内每一点的冯·诺依曼熵的标度行为与均匀XY模型在各向异性相变处的相似,即S_L～1/3㏒_2L+Const.

On the Kelvin–Helmholtz and von Kármán vortices in the near-wake of semicircular cylinders with flaps

The signatures of the Kelvin–Helmoltz (K–H) and von Kármán (VK) vortices shed from a semicircular cylinder with flaps of length L/d = 0, 1/3, 1, 2, and 3 were investigated using hotwire anemometry. Here, L and d denote the flap length and diameter of the semi-circular cylinder, respectively. Experiments were performed at Reynolds numbers spanning one order of magnitude, Re ∈ [8.4 × 10³,?6.7 × 10⁴]. The results highlight the impact of the flow modulation through rigid flaps on the wake characteristics and dominant vortex shedding. The increase of flap length resulted in reduced mean shear in the near-wake, which influenced the onset and coherence of the K-H instability. Indeed, these motions are less likely to be present in the wake of the L/d = 3 case. The flaps also impacted the frequency of the VK shedding; the associated Strouhal number increased from 0.2 to 0.3 for flaps L/d ? 1. Only the cases without with the shortest flaps (L/d = 1/3) followed St = 0.2. There is a distinctive dependence of the f_{K ? H}/f_VK on Reynolds number and flap length. This ratio followed the well-known power-law relationship of circular cylinders in the case without flaps. However, the Reynolds number exponent decreased with increased flap length.     

Highly Efficient Lattice Boltzmann Model for Compressible Fluids:Two-Dimensional Case

We present a highly efficient lattice Boltzmann model for simulatingcompressible flows. This model is based on the combination of an appropriatefinite difference scheme, a 16-discrete-velocity model [Kataoka andTsutahara, Phys. Rev. E 69 (2004) 035701(R)] and reasonable dispersion anddissipation terms. The dispersion term effectively reduces the oscillationat the discontinuity and enhances numerical precision. The dissipation termmakes the new model more easily meet with the von Neumann stabilitycondition. This model works for both high-speed and low-speed flows witharbitrary specific-heat-ratio. With the new model simulation results for thewell-known benchmark problems get a high accuracy compared with the analytic or experimental ones. The used benchmark tests include (i) Shock tubes such as the Sod, Lax, Sjogreen, Colella explosion wave, and collision of two strong shocks, (ii) Regular and Mach shock reflections, and (iii) Shock wave reaction on cylindrical bubble problems. With a more realistic equation ofstate or free-energy functional, the new model has the potential tostudythe complex procedure of shock wave reaction on porous materials.     

Ultraweak Continuity of σ-derivations on von Neumann Algebras

Let σ be a surjective ultraweakly continuous ∗-linear mapping and d be a σ-derivation on a von Neumann algebra . We show that there are a surjective ultraweakly continuous ∗-homomorphism and a Σ-derivation such that D is ultraweakly continuous if and only if so is d. We use this fact to show that the σ-derivation d is automatically ultraweakly continuous. We also prove the converse in the sense that if σ is a linear mapping and d is an ultraweakly continuous ∗-σ-derivation on , then there is an ultraweakly continuous linear mapping such that d is a ∗-Σ-derivation.
