水中金属丝电爆炸拉氏磁流体动力学模拟方法

基于拉格朗日描述,建立了水中金属丝电爆炸的单温磁流体动力学模型,并给出一种高阶混合有限元离散求解方法。拉氏可压缩流体方程组中,速度定义在H1连续有限元空间,内能定义在L2间断有限元空间实现物质界面的精确捕捉,存在激波的区域引入张量人工粘性抑制数值振荡。磁扩散方程仅考虑周向磁通量密度,简化为标量方程,使用H1连续有限元方法离散求解。焦耳热和洛伦兹力作为源项引入实现磁流体方程的耦合。数值算例表明:磁扩散求解器能够求解存在不同电导率的多介质磁扩散问题;拉氏流体求解器能够精确追踪物质界面,具有较好的激波分辨能力;耦合RLC电路的磁流体求解器能够复现水中金属丝电爆炸加热相变、冲击波的产生与传播、放电模式转变等物理过程。     

并联金属丝提高电爆炸丝沉积能量的数值模拟

对于低气压或真空环境中的电爆炸丝,因丝沿面击穿会过早终止能量沉积过程,使丝中沉积能量(Ed)大大低于金属丝完全汽化时所需能量(Es).本文提出并联金属丝法延缓沿面击穿时刻以提高电爆炸丝沉积能量.对电流上升时间为几十纳秒、幅值约为1 kA级作用下的金属丝电爆炸过程进行了数值模拟.结果表明,在电爆炸丝两端并联一定尺寸的金属丝可降低爆炸丝端电压上升率,从而推迟电压上升过程中沿面击穿时刻,显著提高丝中沉积能量和过热系数.

电爆炸法制备纳米颗粒收集方法

金属丝电爆炸法制备纳米材料因其负载可大程度的过热和爆炸产物非平衡扩散过程得到了研究人员的广泛关注,认为是制备新型功能材料的有效方法。研究了不同收集方法对电爆炸法制备钛纳米颗粒的影响,并结合电学、光学、自辐射图像和形貌分析等诊断手段分析了不同方法下产物特性的成因。结果表明,钛丝电爆炸呈现周期型放电模式,产物通道在放电结束前（约40 μs）可膨胀至约1.7 cm处,此后有尖状突刺发展（波阵面后湍流区）,其速度约为55 m/s。为研究爆炸产物不同状态下纳米颗粒形成特性,使用了3种不同的产物收集方法,分别为:①在金属丝径向1.5 cm处放置硅片收集;②在腔体出口处预置滤网收集;③在金属丝一侧电极上通过定向喷涂收集。产物形貌表征结果表明,使用不同收集方法时产物特征存在明显差别,前2种方法爆炸产物先与介质混合再沉积于硅片,得到的产物分别为分散、链状的球状纳米颗粒和密集、堆叠的纳米颗粒团簇;后一种方法电爆炸产物具有较高的密度和定向速度（对硅片）,硅片以金属丝为轴心远近呈现出粉末状和烧结块状两种不同形式。

爆磁压缩发生器的爆炸管动力学效应

 对爆磁压缩发生器中爆炸管2维动力学简化模型进行了模拟计算,分析表明：径向膨胀速度会随径向位置（或者时间）的变化而变化,因此膨胀角也会随径向位置（或者时间）发生变化。对各时间点（或位置点）处的膨胀速度进行了平均,求得理论上的平均膨胀速度,再将该平均膨胀速度与实验测量值进行了比较。模拟结果给出了径向膨胀速度受到端头效应影响的情况,这可为改进实验结果提供参考。由于径向速度与轴向速度的比值一般在5以上,用作爆炸管的物质质量越大,这一比值就越大,因此选择密度较大的金属材料作为爆炸管,可减少滑移。应用2D简化模型计算出的膨胀角数值,与Gurney模型以及1D模型进行了比较,它们之间的差别可能主要来自2D效应。     

Transport in quantum wires

With a brief introduction to one-dimensional channels and conductance quantization in mesoscopic systems, we discuss some recent experimental puzzles in these systems, which include reduction of quantized conductances and an interesting odd-even effect in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. We then discuss a recent non-homogeneous Luttinger liquid model proposed by us, which addresses and gives an explanation for the reduced conductances and the odd-even effect. We end with a brief summary and discussion of future projects.     

Numerical investigation on acoustic cavitation characteristics of an air-vapor bubble: Effect of equation of state for interior gases

The cavitation dynamics of an air-vapor mixture bubble with ultrasonic excitation can be greatly affected by the equation of state (EOS) for the interior gases. To simulate the cavitation dynamics, the Gilmore-Akulichev equation was coupled with the Peng–Robinson (PR) EOS or the Van der Waals (vdW) EOS. In this study, the thermodynamic properties of air and water vapor predicted by the PR and vdW EOS were first compared, and the results showed that the PR EOS gives a more accurate estimation of the gases within the bubble due to the less deviation from the experimental values. Moreover, the acoustic cavitation characteristics predicted by the Gilmore-PR model were compared to the Gilmore-vdW model, including the bubble collapse strength, the temperature, pressure and number of water molecules within the bubble. The results indicated that a stronger bubble collapse was predicted by the Gilmore-PR model rather than the Gilmore-vdW model, with higher temperature and pressure, as well as more water molecules within the collapsing bubble. More importantly, it was found that the differences between both models increase at higher ultrasound amplitudes or lower ultrasound frequencies while decreasing as the initial bubble radius and the liquid parameters (e.g., surface tension, viscosity and temperature of the surrounding liquid) increase. This study might offer important insights into the effects of the EOS for interior gases on the cavitation bubble dynamics and the resultant acoustic cavitation-associated effects, contributing to further optimization of its applications in sonochemistry and biomedicine.     

Geometrical effects on shallow donor impurities in quantum wires

We have studied theoretically the impurity binding energy for wires of different shapes (V-shaped quantum wire (V-QWR) and rectangular wire) with a variational procedure without using any coordinate transformation. The effective potential for V-QWR used in this work consists of a square well potential in the z-direction and full graded well potential in the x-direction. Our results are in good agreement with previous theoretical results, found by the coordinate transformation method. Furthermore, it is shown that the impurity binding energy in quantum wires is sensitive to the geometrical effects.     

Exciton effects on nonlinear electro-optic effects in semi-parabolic quantum wires

The nonlinear electro-optic effects in quasi-one-dimensional semi-parabolic quantum wires are studied, in which the exciton effects are taken into account. The analytical expression of the electro-optic co-efficient is derived by compact density-matrix approach. Finally, the numerical results are presented for GaAs/AlGaAs semi-parabolic quantum wires. The results show that the electro-optic coefficient is over two times bigger than that obtained by without considering exciton effects. Furthermore, the electro-optic coefficient is related to the relaxation time.     

0.7 structure in long quantum wires

While quantized conductance steps in short quantum wires are understood through a single electron picture, additional structure often observed in high-quality one-dimensional systems near g=0.7×(2e²/h) is commonly interpreted as arising due to many-body interactions. Most studies of conductance structure below 2e²/h use short one-dimensional wires where transport is known to be ballistic. We report transport measurements for both short (0.5 μm) and long (5 μm) quantum wires, and use both conductance and nonlinear transport to explore the behavior of one-dimensional wires.     

Studies on the third-harmonic generation of double-layered quantum wires in magnetic fields

The third-harmonic generations of two vertically stacked quantum wires in magnetic fields are investigated. The analytic formula for the third-harmonic generation of double-layered quantum wires is derived by means of density matrix treatment. The numerical results are presented for GaAs/Al _x Ga_1–x As double quantum wires. Finally, the calculated third-harmonic generations are plotted versus the magnetic field B, the photon energy h and the interlayer distance D.
