Lattice—BGK simulation of a two—dimensional channel flow around a square cylinder

The confined flow around a square cylinder mounted inside a two-dimensional channel (blockage ratio $\be=1/8$) was investigated in detail by a newly developed incompressible nonuniform lattice-BGK model. It is found that the vortex shedding behind the cylinder induces periodicity in the flow field, and the periodicity of the flow will lose for $Re>$300. A detailed analysis for a range of Reynolds numbers between 1 and 500 was presented. Quantitative comparisons with other methods show that the model gives accurate results for complex flows.     

High—Order Harmonic Generation by Two Non—collinear Coherent Femtosecond

We have studied the high-order harmonic generated by two coherent pulses in argon gas produced by a gas jet. A loop in the relationship of the harmonic intensity versus the absolute values of relative phase difference was observed for non-collinear arrangement. Compared with the collinear arrangement, increase of 10 times of the conversion efficiency for 17th-order harmonic generation at an appropriate relative phase difference was obtained. The calulation of the intensity and phase for the laser field near the focus gives a simple reason for these phenomena.     

Development of Mini-LIA and Primary Experiments

Mini-LIA is a miniature of a linear induction accelerator developed by China Academy of Engineering Physics and Tsinghua University in 2007. It has been constructed with a thermionic cathode in an electron injector and a metglas core in the induction accelerator cavities. A double-pulsed electron beam was produced for the first time in China on the Mini-LIA with a thermionic cathode in the electron gun and a metglas core in the induction accelerator cavities. A double-pulsed beam current of more than 1.1 A was obtained on condition of 80 k V double-pulsed high voltage produced by pulsed power system supplying to the injector and accelerating modules. Some primary experiments for measuring the parameters of Mini-LIA has been performed, and some beam characterizations of Mini-LIA are presented. Further improvement is underway.     

Preliminary Observation on Coordination of Pellet Injection and Ion Bernstein Wave on a HT—7 Tokamak

A pellet injection (PI) experiment was performed during the application of the ion Bernstein wave on a HT-7 tokamak.A preliminary coordination effect was observed.With a lower wave power,shortly after PI,the coupling of the wave was enhanced,and the particle confinement was improved.With higher power,off-axis heating for 15% at about a/3 in the low field side was observed.     

Production and Identification of New Isotope ^265Bh（Z=107）

New Isotope ^265Bh was produced in bombardment of a ^243Am target with 168 MeV 26Mg ions. The experiment was carried out at the Sector Focus Cyclotron of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou in 2003. The reaction products were transported and collected by using helium-jet technique and a set of rotating wheel system. Identification was made by observation of correlated a-particles between the new isotope ^265Bh and its ^261Db and ^257Lr daughter nuclei. A parent-daughter searching mode was used to facilitate detection of α-α correlations. A total of four pairs of PIPS detector (200mm^2 active area) were used to measure the kinetic energy of a particles. The a particle energy resolution was about 40 keV for the top detectors and 100 keV for the bottom detectors because of energy degradation in the polypropylene foil.

A ridge double-core structure was employed for the modulator, and a buried ridge double-core structure was incorporated for the spot-size converter. The passive waveguide was optically combined with a laterally tapered active waveguide to control the mode size. The figure of merit is 4.1667 dB/V(/100μm) and the beam divergence angles in the horizontal and vertical directions were as small as 11.2° and 13.0°, respectively.

The Isochronous Mass Spectrometry is a high accurate mass spectrometer. A secondary electrons time detector has been developed and used for mass measurements. Secondary electrons from a thin carbon foil are accelerated by an electric field and deflected 180°by a magnetic field onto a micro-channel plate. The time detector has been tested with alpha particles and a time resolution of 197 ps （FWHM） was obtained in the laboratory. A mass resolution around 8×10^-6 for Am/m was achieved by using this time detector in a pilot mass measurement experiment.

The β- decaying γ scheme of the neutron-rich nuclide 208Hg has been determined for the first time.The 208 Hg was produced in multi-nucleon transfer reaction taking place in the bombardment of 18O-beam on natural lead target,and the Hg-element products were sepaated with a gas-thermochromatography technique.The γ-ray single and γ-γ coincident spectra were measured.A partial 208 Hg γ scheme was proposed.Twenty-six γ rays were assigned to follow the β- decay of 208Hg.At the same time,a new level structure of the daughter nucleus 208 T1 was constructed,in which three new levels at 1.725MeV.1.652MeV,and 1.362MeV were affirmed.The experimental 208Tl level structure was compared with a shell-model calculation.     

Speed of the internal pellet target in CSRm

Pellet target is one of the main candidate targets in CSRm (cooler storage ring’s main ring) for hadron physics studies. Pellet speed is an important physical parameter for the target. Larger pellet speed could shorten the interacting time interval between the pellet and the cyclotron beam, and thus results in a small temperature variation for the pellet. This could make the pellet facility work in a stable condition. A fluid dynamic simulation was carried out for the pellet speed, and it was found that the...     

Go4：Multithreaded Inter—Task Communication with ROOT—writing non—blocking GUIs

The future GSI Online-Offline-Object-Oriented analysis framework Go4 based on ROOT[CERN,R.Brun et al] provides a mechanism to monitor and control an analuysis at any time.This is achieved by running the GUI and the analysis in different tasks.To control these tasks by one non-lbocking GUI,the Go4TaskHandler package was developed.It offers an asynchronous inter task communication via independent channels for commands,data,and status information,Each channel is processed by a dedicated thread and has a buffer queue as interface to the working thread.The threads are controlled by the Go4ThreadMAanager package,based on the ROOT TThread package,In parallel to the GUI actions,the analysis tasks can display objects like histograms in the GUI.A test GUI was implemented using the Qt widget library(Trolltech Inc.).A Qt to ROOT interface has been developed.The Go4 packages may be utilized for any ROOT application that requires to control independent data processing or monitoring tasks from a non-blocking GUI.     

Research on intensity measurement in room impulse field

A new system of sound intensity measurement for impulse field in the room was proposed. This measurement system consists of a repeatable inspiriting sound source and a microphone fixed on a slowly rotating platform, which is equivalent to a circle microphone array composed of many perfectly matched microphones. The test principle was presented and typical application was described. Based upon this system the sound intensity measurement for impulse field in the room was realized. Therefore, not only time but also spatial information of room impulse response can be obtained.     

Robust algorithm of direction of arrival estimation for coherent wideband sources in unknown correlated noise fields

A robust algorithm of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for coherent wideband sources in unknown correlated noise fields was investigated. The noise is usually unknown and correlated among sensors in practical applications, especially for arrays with comparatively small apertures. The spatially correlated noise incurs an increase in focusing error and a severe degradation in the DOA estimation, and therefore a method of focusing transformation based on differentiating covariance matrix was proposed to eliminate noise, hence reduce the focusing error. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Study of pre-scission particle emissions and fission probability of the l78W produced in fusion reactions

A dynamical model based on one-dimensional Langevin equations was used to calculate the average pre-fission multiplicities of neutrons, light charged particles, and the fission probability for compound nucleus 17Sw produced in fusion reactions. The pre-seission multiplicities of particles and fission probability are calculated and compared with the experimental data over a wide range of excitation energy. A modified wall and window dissipation with a reduction coefficient, ks, has been used in the Langevin equations for reproducing experimental data. It was shown that the results of the calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data by using values of ks in the range 0.24〈 ks 〈0.47.     

Anomalous propagation conditions of electromagnetic wave observed over Bosten Lake,China in July and August, 2014

Atmospheric duct is a common phenomenon over large bodies of water, and it can significantly affect the performance of many radio systems. In this paper, a two-month(in July and August, 2014) sounding experiment in ducting conditions over Bosten Lake was carried out at a littoral station(41.89°N, 87.22°E) with high resolution GPS radiosondes, and atmospheric ducts were observed for the first time in this area. During the two months, surface and surface-based ducts occurred frequently over the Lake. Strong diurnal variations in ducting characteristics were noticed in clear days. Ducting occurrence was found at its lowest in the early morning and at its highest(nearly 100%) in the afternoon. Duct strength was found increasing from early morning to forenoon, and reaching its maximum in the afternoon. But contrarily, duct altitude experienced a decrease in a clear day. Then the meteorological reasons for the variations were discussed in detail, turbulent bursting was a possible reason for the duct formation in the early morning and the prevailing lake-breeze front was the main reason in the afternoon. The propagation of electromagnetic wave in a ducting environment was also investigated. A raytracing framework based on Runge–Kutta method was proposed to assess the performance of radio systems, and the precise critical angle and grazing angle derived from the ray-tracing equations were provided. Finally, numerical investigations on the radar performance in the observed ducting environments have been carried out with high accuracy, which demonstrated that atmospheric ducts had made great impacts on the performance of radio systems. The range/height errors for radar measurement induced by refraction have also been presented, too, which shows that the height errors were very large for trapped rays when the total range was long enough.     

Velocity overshoot of start-up flow for a Maxwellfluid in a porous half-space

Stokes' first problem has been investigated for a Maxwell fluid in a porous half-space for gaining insight into the effect of viscoelasticity on the start-up flow in a porous medium. An exact solution was obtained by using the Fourier sine transform. It was found that at large values of the relaxation time the velocity overshoot occurs obviously and the system exhibits viscoelastic behaviours. On the other hand, for short relaxation time the velocity overshoot disappears and the system exhibits viscous behaviours. A critical value of the relaxation time was obtained for the emergence of the velocity overshoot. Furthermore, it was found that the velocity overshoot is caused by both the viscoelasticity of the Maxwell fluid and the Darcy resistance resulting from the structure of the micropore in the porous medium.     

Progress of Power Supply System in 2003

CSR power supply system made a great progress in 2003. All power supplies for CSRm E-cooler have been accepted and put into operation since Feb. 2003. And we are preparing to test power supplies of CSRe cooler 31 sets pulsed convertor for CSRm quadruple magnet arrived in IMP. But their output current must be increased from 590 A to 700 A, because of higher beam energy. 12 of them can fit the new request, but the others have to be redesigned and reproduced. The dipole power supply was assembled in plant and by using the power supply was some experiment made. The first test results was excited. Now this device has been installed in IMP and connected with the dipole magnet. We invited a public bidding for RIBLL2 and CSRe power supplies last September. Two companies provided 128 power supplies, which will be delivered to IMP before June 2004.
