Numerical simulation on evolution of subharmonic low-speed streaks in minimal channel turbulent flow

The evolution of low-speed streaks in the turbulent boundary layer of the minimum channel flow unit at a low Reynolds number is simulated by the direct numer- ical simulation （DNS） based on the standard Fourier-Chebyshev spectral method. The subharmonic sinuous （SS） mode for two spanwise-aligned low-speed streaks is excited by imposing the initial perturbations. The possibilities and the physical realities of the turbulent sustaining in the minimal channel unit are examined. Based on such a flow field environment, the evolution of the low-speed streaks during a cycle of turbulent sus- taining, including lift-up, oscillation, and breakdown, is investigated. The development of streamwise vortices and the dynamics of vortex structures are examined. The results show that the vortices generated from the same streak are staggered along the streamwise direction, while the vortices induced by different streaks tilt toward the normal direction due to the mutual induction effect. It is the spatial variations of the streamwise vortices that cause the lift-up of the streaks. By resolving the transport dynamics of enstrophy, the strength of the vortices is found to continuously grow in the logarithmic layer through the vortex stretching mechanism during the evolution of streaks. The enhancement of the vortices contributes to the spanwise oscillation and the following breakdown of the low-speed streaks.

激波诱导火焰失稳与爆轰的条件研究

采用九阶WENO和十阶中心差分格式数值求解激波与火焰作用过程,考察了激波强度、火焰尺寸对激波与球形火焰作用过程的影响。结果表明,增大激波强度或火焰尺寸均可在流场中引发爆轰,但激波强度的影响更大,并且其引发的爆轰可使火焰迅速膨胀,放热率提高,从而影响燃烧特性;此外,爆轰波传播过程中会迅速消耗可燃预混气,合并原有的反射激波,并在流场中形成局部高压区,极大地改变流场结构。

基于双电源电压和双阈值电压技术,提出了一种优化全局互连性能的新方法.文中首先定义了一个包含互连延时、带宽和功耗等因素的品质因子用以描述全局互连特性,然后在给定延时牺牲的前提下,通过最大化品质因子求得优化的双电压数值用以节省功耗.仿真结果显示,在65 nm工艺下,针对5%,10%和20%的允许牺牲延时,所提方法相较于单电压方法可分别获得27.8%,40.3%和56.9%的功耗节省.同时发现,随着工艺进步,功耗节省更加明显.该方法可用于高性能全局互连的优化和设计. 关键词： 全局互连 双电源电压 双阈值电压 功耗
