不同重力下窄通道内薄材料表面的火焰传播

在常重力下模拟微重力燃烧对载人航天器的火灾安全具有重要意义.窄通道就是这样一种可以有效限制自然对流的模拟设施.但是,不同重力下火焰传播的相似性仍然是有待研究的问题.本文用实验和数值模拟的方法,比较了不同重力下有限空间内热薄材料表面的逆风传播火焰.不同重力下火焰形状和火焰传播速度的比较表明,1cm高的水平窄通道可以有效地限制自然对流,在常重力下用这种通道能够模拟微重力下相同几何尺寸的通道中的火焰传播.因此,在地面上首先利用水平窄通道,模拟相同环境中的微重力火焰传播,然后考虑通道尺寸变化对火焰传播的影响,有可能成为地面模拟其他尺寸的空间中的微重力燃烧的方法.

Influence of edge propagation on downward flame spread over three-dimensional PMMA samples

This systematic experimental study measures the effect of flame propagation along vertical edges on the overall downward spread of flames using Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA). Samples with a wide range of regular cross-sections – from triangular through octagonal – as well as irregular ones, have been used to test a large variation of internal angles. A MATLAB-based tool was used to calculate instantaneous spread rate for central and edge flames. The edge flame is shown to significantly enhance the spread rate, as much as five times, in respect to samples with no edges. This amplification is shown to depend primarily on the internal angle at the edge (the smaller the angle, the faster the flame) and fuel thickness, and not on other factors such as aspect ratio or cross-sectional area. Using a phenomenological argument, the edge propagation rate is correlated to the spread rate over an equivalent cylindrical fuel (the limiting shape with infinite edges) with an effective radius obtained from the geometry of the edges and the diffusion length scale of the solid phase. A formula for flame spread over cylindrical fuel from the literature is used to link the new results to existing models. Both thick and thin limits are shown to encompass the wide range of three-dimensional spread rate data within the effective radius (the independent variable), which can be determined from the known parameters. Based on these results, different types of cross-sectional areas can be sorted in the order of their inherent fire safety characteristics.

离散效应对高强度激光三次谐波转换的影响

使用分步傅里叶变换和四阶龙格库塔法(R-K) ，对高强度激光以Ⅰ/Ⅱ类角度失谐方式，在KDP晶体中的谐波转换进行了研究，详细讨论了离散效应对三次谐波转换的影响。结果表明，离散效应不但降低了三次谐波转换效率，而且使谐波光束质量显著降低；初始入射基频光束腰半径较小时，离散效应是二次谐波转换和三次谐波转换效率降低的主要因素，失谐角对三次谐波转换的影响较小；随着束腰半径的增加，离散效应的影响逐渐减小，失谐角对三次谐波转换的影响逐渐增加。     

猝发混合扩频水声隐蔽通信技术

针对常规的连续载波调制扩频通信方式容易通过能量检测的方法被截获的问题,提出了一种猝发的混合扩频水声隐蔽通信方式,该方法通过在时间上随机的发送脉冲混合调制扩频信号来降低截获概率,而且可以比较灵活的通过调整平均占空比来满足不同隐蔽性的要求,但是该隐蔽性是以牺牲通信速率为代价的。猝发信号中混合了二进制相位键控(BPSK)、循环移位键控(CSK)和多进制频移键控(MFSK)扩频调制方式,采用自同步和时频二维搜索算法实现码元和载波同步。通过仿真分析了猝发通信系统的隐蔽性能和多途信道下的误码性能,并且通过了南海海试验证了算法的性能,在5 km的通信距离上,4 kHz的带宽内,单个脉冲信号的通信速率可以达到317 bps,误码率达到10-3以下。      

Conditions for the Stable Acceleration of Ion Rings by Collapsed Liners

The conditions of suppressing the collective slowing-down of an ionic beam on electrons, which is caused by the excitation of electron plasma oscillations (beam instability) by ions, are found. In contrast to available explicit and implicit indications, a large spread of the energies only in an ionic beam is insufficient for this suppression. The acceleration of ions is shown to become stable when a sufficiently large spread of the electron velocities is simultaneously present. The beam instability of ions is suppressed by the Landau damping of the ion-excited plasma waves at electrons. The results obtained are used to analyze the possibility of ion acceleration by collapsed cylindrical plasma liners.     

An analysis of the effects of electrical field interaction with an acoustic model of cochlear implants

Electrical field interaction caused by current spread in a cochlear implant was modeled in an explicit way in an acoustic model (the SPREAD model) presented to six listeners with normal hearing. The typical processing of cochlear implants was modeled more closely than in traditional acoustic models by careful selection of parameters related to current spread or parameters that could amplify the electrical field interactions caused by current spread. These parameters were the insertion depth, electrode spacing, electrical dynamic range, and dynamic range compression function. The hypothesis was that current spread could account for the asymptote in performance in speech intelligibility experiments observed at around seven stimulation channels in a number of cochlear implant studies. Speech intelligibility for sentences, vowels, and consonants at three noise levels (SNR of +15 dB, +10 dB, and +5 dB) was measured as a function of the number of spectral channels (4, 7, and 16). The SPREAD model appears to explain the asymptote in speech intelligibility at seven channels for all noise levels for all speech material used in this study. It is shown that the compressive amplitude mapping used in cochlear implants can have a detrimental effect on the number of effective channels.

Use of pseudopotential towards time-evolution of a nonstationary state: Spatially localized excitation in a crystal

Pseudopotential is used as a formal operator to write the exact time-dependence of a pseudoexciton and hence that of an initial excitation spatially localized in a crystal. The exponential operator where pseudopotential occurs at the argument is readily evaluated using the property of projection operators. Migration of an initially localized excitation is of considerable experimental importance and can be of conceptual use since it should eventually generate the characteristics of a migrating exciton. From the formal time-dependence of a localized excitation, its spread with time can be calculated with relative ease. In a concurrent discussion, the previous work of Merrifield (1958) on the propagation of excitation is criticized and an error is pointed out. The spread, however, remains wavelike and is not dissipative in the absence of a collisional mechanism.     

Observation of droplet motion during flame spread on three-fuel-droplet array with a pendulum suspender

Flame spread on a fuel droplet array has been studied as a simple model of spray combustion. A three-fuel-droplet array with a pendulum suspender was employed to investigate interactions between flame spread and droplet motion in the axial direction. Initial droplet diameter was 0.8 mm, and fuel was n-heptane. A silicon carbide pendulum suspender of 15 μm in diameter and 30 mm in length was used for the third droplet. The first fixed droplet was ignited by electric spark. Behavior of the flame and the third droplet was observed using a high-speed video camera with an image intensifier. Particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) measurements were performed to explain the behavior of the third movable droplet. The dimensionless droplet span, which is the average of droplet-to-droplet distances divided by the average initial diameter of the three droplets, was varied from 2.5 to 8 for observing flame spread, and fixed at 5.5 for PTV measurements. It was observed that the third droplet moved away from the second droplet before the flame spread to the third droplet. The displacement of the third droplet is remarkable when the dimensionless droplet span is close to the limit of flame spread. This implies that the movement of the droplet decreases the dimensionless span of the flame spread limit and the flame spread speed near the flame spread limit. Results of PTV measurements suggest that the heat expansion wave, caused by ignition of the premixture which was accumulated around the second droplet, and the burned gas flow from the second droplet pushed away the third droplet; then natural convection, induced by the flames of the first and second droplets, drew the third droplet to the second droplet. The heat expansion wave and the burned gas flow of the second droplet reached nearly 12 in dimensionless span.

Dynamics of bid–ask spread return and volatility of the Chinese stock market

The bid–ask spread is taken as an important measure of the financial market liquidity. In this article, we study the dynamics of the spread return and the spread volatility of four liquid stocks in the Chinese stock market, including the memory effect and the multifractal nature. By investigating the autocorrelation function and the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), we find that the spread return is the lack of long-range memory, while the spread volatility is long-range time correlated. Besides, the spread volatilities of different stocks present long-range cross-correlations. Moreover, by applying the Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MF-DFA), the spread return is observed to possess a strong multifractality, which is similar to the dynamics of a variety of financial quantities. Different from the spread return, the spread volatility exhibits a weak multifractal nature.     

Effects of fuel Lewis number on flame spread over solids

Using a detailed two-dimensional numerical model, a systematic investigation has been made to study the effect of fuel Lewis number (Le_F = α/D_F) and mass transfer on flame spread over thin solids. The fuel Lewis number affects the flame spread rates for both concurrent and opposed flames over thin fuels. The dependence of the flame spread rate on Le_F for these two spreading modes is, however, not the same. In opposed flame spreads (zero-gravity, self-propagation, and normal gravity downward propagation), the flame spread rate vs. Le_F curve is non-monotonic with a maximum value occurring at an intermediate value of Le_F = 0.5. In steady, concurrent spread in zero-gravity with low-speed flow and a constant flame length, the flame spread rate decreases with Le_F in a monotonic manner. By using the computational model as a tool, the effects of fuel mass diffusion perpendicular to and parallel with the solid surface are isolated to obtain more physical insight on the two-dimensional aspect of fuel mass transfer on flame spread. In addition, the model has also been used to decouple the solid evaporation process so that the fuel diffusion effect in the gas-phase can be isolated. Both of these theoretical exercises contribute to the understanding of mass transfer effects on the flame spreading phenomena over solids.     

Experimental study of upward flame spread of an inclined fuel surface

A thermally thick slab of polymethyl methacrylate was used to study the effects of the inclination angle of a fuel surface on upward flame spread. While investigation of upward spread over solid fuels has typically been restricted to an upright orientation, inclination of the fuel surface from the vertical is a common occurrence that has not yet been adequately addressed. By performing experiments on 10 cm wide by 20 cm tall fuel samples it was found that the maximum flame-spread rate, occurring nearly in a vertical configuration, does not correspond to the maximum fuel mass-loss rate, which occurs closer to a horizontal configuration. A detailed study of both flame spread and steady burning at different angles of inclination revealed the influence of buoyancy-induced flows in modifying heat-flux profiles ahead of the flame front, which control flame spread, and in affecting the heat flux to the burning surface of the fuel, which controls fuel mass-loss rates.

Simulating forest fire spread and fire-fighting using cellular automata

In response to the transboundary haze problem in Southeast Asia, a physical model is adopted to simulate the spread and extinguishing of fire. This study is done in the context of Dumai, Indonesia, as it is one of the areas that significantly contribute to the haze problem. This model aims to provide perspectives on the persistence of forest fires despite fire-fighting efforts. While existing models using Huygens’ principle of wave propagation allow an understanding of the natural spread of fire, our model applies cellular automata to predict and analyse the effects of fire-fighting intervention strategies, with the spatial and propagation dynamics of fire considered. Cellular automata is an active area of research among physicists, and is widely used by chemists and biologists to model many types of natural phenomena. We note similarities between our model predictions and observations of real-world phenomena. Analyses on the factors that affect the spread of fire are presented, in order to understand which ones are dominant in differing situations. This provides insights on optimum conditions for fire-fighting efforts, and suggests guidelines that may be considered for fire control in future forest fires.

BOLD sensitivity to cortical activation induced by microstimulation: comparison to visual stimulation

Electrical microstimulation via intracortical electrodes is a widely used method for deducing functions of the brain. In this study, we compared the spatial extent and amplitude of BOLD responses evoked by intracortical electrical stimulation in primary visual cortex with BOLD activations evoked by visual stimulation. The experiments were performed in anesthetized rhesus monkeys. Visual stimulation yielded activities larger than predicted from the well-established visual magnification factor. However, electrical microstimulation yielded an even greater spread of the BOLD response. Our results confirm that the effects of electrical microstimulation extend beyond the brain region expected to be excited by direct current spread.
