A model for crack formation during active solid pyrolysis of a char-forming solid: crack patterns; surface area generation; volatile mass efflux

A model is developed for the formation and propagation of cracks in a material sample that is heated at its top surface, pyrolyses, and then thermally degrades to form char. In this work the sample is heated uniformly over its entire top surface by a hypothetical flame (a heat source). The pyrolysis mechanism is described by a one-step overall reaction that is dependent nonlinearly on the temperature (Arrhenius form). Stresses develop in response to the thermal degradation of the material by means of a shrinkage strain caused by local mass loss during pyrolysis. When the principal stress exceeds a prescribed threshold value, the material forms a local crack. Cracks are found to generally originate at the surface in response to heating, but occasionally they form in the bulk, away from ever-changing material boundaries. The resulting cracks evolve and form patterns whose characteristics are described. Quantities examined in detail are: the crack spacing in the pyrolysis zone; the crack length evolution; the formation and nature of crack loops which are defined as individual cracks that have joined to form loops that are disconnected from the remaining material; the formation of enhanced pyrolysis area; and the impact of all of the former quantities on mass flux. It is determined that the mass flux from the sample can be greatly enhanced over its nominal (non-cracking) counterpart. The mass efflux profile qualitatively resembles those observed in Cone Calorimeter tests.     

基于扩展度的复杂网络传播影响力评估算法

对网络中节点的传播影响力进行评估具有十分重要的意义, 有助于促进有益或抑制有害信息的传播. 目前, 多种中心性指标可用于对节点的传播影响力进行评估, 然而它们一般只有当传播率处于特定范围时才能取得理想的结果. 例如, 度值中心性指标在传播率较小时较为合适, 而半局部中心性和接近中心性指标则适用于稍大一些的传播率. 为了解决各种评估指标对传播率敏感的问题, 提出了一种基于扩展度的传播影响力评估算法. 算法利用邻居节点度值叠加的方式对节点度的覆盖范围进行了扩展, 使不同的扩展层次对应于不同的传播率, 并通过抽样测试确定了适合于特定传播率的层次数. 真实和模拟数据集上的实验结果表明, 通过扩展度算法得到的扩展度指标能在不同传播率下对节点的传播影响力进行有效评估, 其准确性能够达到或优于利用其他中心性指标进行评估的结果.

New lower bounds for partial k‐parallelisms

Due to the applications in network coding, subspace codes and designs have received many attentions. Suppose that $k\mid n$ and $V\left(n,q\right)$ is an $n$‐dimensional space over the finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_q$. A $k$‐spread is a $(q^n?1)/(q^k?1)$‐set of $k$‐dimensional subspaces of $V\left(n,q\right)$ such that each nonzero vector is contained in exactly one element of it. A partial $k$‐parallelism in $V\left(n,q\right)$ is a set of pairwise disjoint $k$‐spreads. As the number of $k$‐dimensional subspaces in $V\left(n,q\right)$ is ${\left[\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{k}\right]}_q$, there are at most ${\left[\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n?1}{k?1}\right]}_q$ spreads in a partial $k$‐parallelism. By studying the independence numbers of Cayley graphs associated to a special type of partial $k$‐parallelisms in $V\left(n,q\right)$, we obtain new lower bounds for partial $k$‐parallelisms. In particular, we show that there exist at least $\frac{q^k?1}{q^n?1}{\left[\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n?1}{k?1}\right]}_q$ pairwise disjoint $k$‐spreads in $V\left(n,q\right)$.

为实时恢复天文或空间目标的湍流退化成像,提出一种适应大气湍流动态变化的多通道自适应光学图像恢复方法.以自适应光学校正后不同时刻的目标成像作为多个通道,建立求解系统点扩散函数的线性方程,根据解出的点扩散函数利用超拉普拉斯算法,求解待观测目标的估计值.结果表明:不同时刻的点扩散函数之间存在互质关系,满足多通道盲识别的理论要求.利用建立的线性方程求解出的点扩散函数与原点扩散函数的均方误差在10^-30~10^-27量级,采用超拉普拉斯算法恢复出的目标成像与原始目标之间的均方误差在10^-5~10^-4量级.本文研究为湍流退化图像的实时恢复提供了理论基础.     

Preserving the Rothschild–Stiglitz type of increasing risk with background risk

Background risk refers to a risk that is exogenous and is not subject to transformations by a decision-maker. In this paper, we extend the definition of the Rothschild–Stiglitz type of increasing risk to a background risk framework. We theoretically investigate a more general definition of increase in risk in the presence of background risk. The results suggest that an extended concept of expectation dependence plays a vital role.

Bunch length measurement at Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray source

The length of electron beam from a photocathode RF gun is determined by a spectrometer, according to the relative energy spread induced by the bunch length during the acceleration in a linac. For a photocathode RF gun, different laser injected phase and beam charge are studied. The compression is changed for the different laser phases, as from 10° to 30°, and the bunch length is lengthened due to the strong longitudinal space charge force, caused by the increased charge.     

Flame spread over solids in buoyant and forced concurrent flows: Model computations and comparison with experiments

A detailed three-dimensional concurrent flame spread model is tested and compared with three sets of experiments. The parameters varied include: gravity, flow velocity, pressure, oxygen mole fraction, and sample width. In buoyant flows (normal and partial gravities), the computed steady spread rate and flame profiles agree favorably with experiment. The predicted extinction limits are lower but can be improved. Comparison in forced concurrent flow in microgravity shows correct trends. The predicted steady spread rates are lower than the experimental ones if the flames are short but higher than the experimental ones if the flames are long. It is believed that the experimental flames may not have fully reached steady state at the end of the 5-s microgravity drops. Longer duration microgravity experiments in future will be needed to substantiate this belief.
