容器内角处流体界面特性与Surface Evolver程序适用性的研究

微重力条件下内角处液体行为的研究对于认识表面张力主导的液体行为, 预测和控制空间微重力条件下的液体位置、瞬时状态, 以及对空间流体进行有效的管理等方面都非常重要. 通过分析接触角与流体界面在容器内角处的接触线方向之间的关系, 并与Concus-Finn理论进行比较, 提出了内角处接触线、接触角和几何形状之间相互关联的机理, 并探讨了Concus和Finn等 的相关理论结果的物理内涵. 在此基础上, 进一步将内角处的相关理论结果与Surface Evolver程序得出的数值结果进行了比较, 指出当容器中的内角小于180°时, Surface Evolver程序通过自动划分网格即可比较准确地预言内角处的接触线和液面行为, 但是当内角大于180°时, 自动划分网格得到的数值结果有较大的误差, 需要通过手动划分网格减少网格奇异才能减小误差. 因此, 对于具有复杂几何形状的容器, 需注意网格的奇异性, 并对内角处的液面进行定量的验证, 才能有效判断Surface Evolver程序结果的正确性. 本工作对于深入认识内角处的液面特性和机理, 理解Surface Evolver程序的适用条件, 以及分析微重力条件下容器内角处的液体行为等方面都具有明显意义.     

Experimental investigation on the flow over normal flat plates with various corner shapes

The influence of corner modification on the flow over normal flat plates is experimentally investigated in a water tunnel. Particle image velocimetry measurement is performed at Re = 2240 based on the width of the plate. Besides the flat plate with sharp edges, others with chamfered corners, rounded corners and stepped corners at the windward side are studied. Although the flat plate is very thin compared with square cylinders, corner modification can also achieve a significant drag reduction. The mechanism for the drag reduction is explored based on the solid analysis of the vortical structures and the statistical parameters. With corner modification, the strength and the scale of the vortex are decreased, while the formation of the vortex is postponed, resulting in a weakened vortex-interaction process. Thus, the fluctuation intensity of the wake is weakened, the wake width is narrowed down with the recirculation region elongated, and the vortex shedding frequency becomes higher. These modifications interpret well how the drag of a normal plate could be reduced, which is confirmed by the drag estimation from the wake profiles.     

Corner detection and matching for infrared image based on double ring mask and adaptive SUSAN algorithm

Infrared (IR) image fusion is designed to fuse several IR images into a comprehensive image to boost imaging quality and reduce redundancy information, and image matching is an indispensable step. However, Conventional matching techniques are susceptible to the noise and fuzzy edges in IR images and it is therefore very desirable to have a matching algorithm that is tolerant to them. This paper presents a method for infrared image matching based on the SUSAN corner detection. To solve the problems of the traditional SUSAN algorithm including the fixed threshold of gray value difference and the failed detection of symmetry corners, an adaptive threshold extraction method is raised in this study. Furthermore, an attached double ring mask is used to improve the complex corner detection capability. A constraint condition and a principle of gravity are adopted to filtrate the candidate corners. The proposed method is qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated on IR images in the experiments. In comparison with other methods, better performance has been achieved.     

Corners detection on finger vein images using the improved Harris algorithm

An improved Harris corner detection algorithm is proposed based on Barron operator, since Harris corner detection algorithm has a poor accuracy in positioning complex corner detection and may miss certain real corners. Firstly, the image gradient is calculated by using Barron operator to reduce the calculation errors from Prewitt operator or Sobel operator. Secondly, the centre B-spline function is used to smooth image, filter noise, and retain the corners information better. Thirdly, a non-maximal inhibition and corners sieving method is used to determine whether the detected corners are real corners or not. A square window is centered at the pixel and eliminate the corner if the value of the corner response function is non-maximal in the window. And then divide the test image into several blocks so as to process each block independently, and use a cyclic iterative method to determine the threshold value to make sure that the real corners are accurately selected. Finally, experiments indicate the algorithm has relatively great noise proof ability and is able to extract complex corners effectively.     

Dewetting of thin polymer films at temperatures close to the glass transition

We present detailed studies on dewetting of thin polystyrene (PS) films which were deposited onto silicon wafers coated with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) monolayer. Experiments were performed at temperatures close to the glass transition temperature of PS. Several significant deviations from the dewetting behaviour of Newtonian liquids were observed. The length of the PS molecules, and thus the viscosity, turned out to be of minor importance in determining the dewetting velocity, in particular for the later regimes. In stark contrast, the geometry of the drying spot had a striking influence on the dewetting velocity. Initially, dewetting from straight contact lines proceeded faster than the opening of circular holes. At later stages, the process slowed down significantly in both cases. Under the conditions at which our experiments were performed, PS cannot flow like a simple liquid. Thus, the observed dewetting has to be the consequence of plastic deformation induced by capillary forces. Our results indicate that under such conditions the energy dissipation process is strongly affected by geometry, which is not the case for viscous liquids.Received: 1 January 2003, Published online: 14 October 2003PACS: 68.60.-p Physical properties of thin films, nonelectronic - 61.41. + e Polymers, elastomers, and plastics - 68.55.-a Thin film structure and morphology - 83.50.-v Deformation and flow

Scholte–Stoneley waves on an immersed solid dihedral: Generation,propagation and scattering effects

Scholte–Stoneley wave propagation on a dihedral and more precisely the diffraction effects occurring at the corners, has since long been of high importance for nondestructive testing of materials and structures. Experimental investigations have been reported in the past. Simulations based on radiation mode theory have been published before, explaining the only situation for which the model is applicable namely rectangular corners. The current report describes an investigation applying finite element simulations. Results are obtained not only for rectangular corners but for any possible corner angle. The outcome is in agreement with reported experiments. Moreover a critical corner angle is found below and beyond which different diffraction phenomena occur. The study is performed for different isotropic solids.

Transport induced dimer state from topological corner states

Recently, a new type of second-order topological insulator has been theoretically proposed by introducing an in-plane Zeeman field into the Kane-Mele model in the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. A pair of topological corner states arise at the corners with obtuse angles of an isolated diamond-shaped flake. To probe the corner states, we study their transport properties by attaching two leads to the system. Dressed by incoming electrons, the dynamic corner state is very different from its static counterpart.Resonant tunneling through the dressed corner state can occur by tuning the in-plane Zeeman field. At the resonance, the pair of spatially well separated and highly localized corner states can form a dimer state, whose wavefunction extends almost the entire bulk of the diamond-shaped flake. By varying the Zeeman field strength, multiple resonant tunneling events are mediated by the same dimer state. This re-entrance effect can be understood by a simple model. These findings extend our understanding of dynamic aspects of the second-order topological corner states.     

Stability of a dry patch in a viscous flowing film

We investigate the dewetting of liquid films flowing down an incline. At low flow rate we observe the formation of stationary dry patches edged with a liquid rim. Their shape can be predicted by a simple model in which the rim weight is balanced by surface tension. Above a critical flow rate per unit length Γ_c of typical scale U_cl_c (U_c capillary velocity, l_c capillary length), these dry patches cannot remain stationary and are swept away. An improved model taking into account capillary effects linked to contact line curvature, hydrostatic pressure in the film and inertial effects predicts this loss of stability in good agreement with experiments for sufficiently high viscosity values.     

关于沿内角的自发毛细流动现象回顾

文章从静力和动力学的角度简要回顾了关于沿内角的自发毛细流动研究的最近进展.作为一个通用几何形状,内角在地面微观尺度下或处于失重状态的航天飞行器系统内大尺度下为液体提供有效的输运通道.当一定的几何条件得到满足并且当毛细力远远大于体力比如重力的时候,沿着内角会发生自发毛细力驱动流动现象.从静力学的角度来说,本文讨论的自发毛细驱动流动和当特定的边界条件发生突然变化,比如重力作用突然消失时带有内角的容器内部单值有限高度的平衡自由面的非存在性有关系. Concus-Finn方法可以用来确定这样的平衡自由面在一个横截面处处一致的柱形容器内的非存在性.用这个方法可以推导出在失重状态下一个内角为2α的通常柱形容器里,当接触角小于π/2-α时,平衡曲面不存在.通常来说,沿内角的自发毛细驱动流动属于层流.利用尺度分析和摄动法,成功分析了该流动的动力学特性,并且推导出对设计有用的封闭形式的解析解.一个典型的结果是在黏性流的范畴里毛细面端点的移动和t1/2成正比

本文研究了在满足Concus-Finn条件时,微重力环境下内角沿容器轴线变化时的毛细驱动流问题,建立了变内角的毛细流动控制方程,获得了变内角流动的近似解析解,并与FLOW-3D软件的数值模拟结果进行了对比验证. 计算结果表明,随着时间的增大,近似解析解与数值解的相对误差越来越小,在6 s以后,相对误差不超过5%. 论文研究了不同结构参数对内角毛细流动的影响规律,得出液体前缘位置和液面高度均随内角、接触角、内角斜率和内角幂指数的增大而减小的结论. 在不同时刻,液体的液面高度随着时间的增大而增大,但在初始时刻存在一个常高度,该高度不随时间的变化而变化. 在空间流体管理时,可以根据本文的工作进行容器设计和选择适合的溶液. 关键词： 变内角 毛细驱动流 近似解析解 前缘位置     

零件的角点提取及匹配定位

本文基于三坐标测量机(CMM)设计了一套视觉检测系统,该系统能够对零件实际空间特征信息进行比较全面地提取。针对位于CMM平台上带有角点的零件,利用Harris算子提取从CMM三个不同方位获取的零件图像的角点。对于Harris算子提取到的角点,本文提出一种八链码搜索法和SUSAN区域法相结合的伪角点剔除方法,最后基于立体视觉的原理,提出"距离空间图"匹配算法,将以上3幅图像一一建立匹配关系。实验中多次改变零件在CMM中姿态时,多次实验数据表明本文的角点提取精度与真实角点间仅存在1~2像素的偏差,零件的定位误差为1~3 mm。通过实验验证,角点匹配和定位的稳定性和精度满足要求,具有一定的抗干扰性和实用性。     

应用角点匹配实现目标跟踪

角点特征是图像的一个重要局部特征,因其具有计算量小、匹配简单以及旋转、平移、缩放不变的性质,而在图像配准与匹配、目标识别、运动分析、目标跟踪等应用领域都起着非常重要的作用。本文提出了一种新的基于角点特征的向量匹配方法,该方法利用Harris算子检测出目标角点,通过角点的矩特征形成目标的特征向量,最后通过对序列图像的目标特征向量进行匹配来实现目标跟踪。此算法在一般情况下能匹配80%以上角点,在遮挡情况下仍能正确匹配70%左右,处理速度达到20 frames/s,满足了实时要求。实验结果证明此方法可有效地抵御目标的变形和遮挡情况。     

一种改进的SUSAN角点提取方法

针对基本SUSAN算法存在漏检测、处理速度慢以及容易产生伪角点等问题,提出了一种改进的SUSAN角点提取算法。首先对图像的像素点按边缘点、内部点和背景点进行分类,在此基础上只对边缘点进行SUSAN算法处理,然后检查已经提取到的所有角点,剔除同一区域范围内的伪角点,从而实现对大部分角点的快速、准确提取。实验结果表明,该算法的运算速度比改进前提高约一倍,能够较准确地检测到目标角点。     

基于局部光流约束的角点匹配算法

提出了一种基于局部光流约束的角点匹配算法。首先采用Harris算子获得当前帧和参考帧的角点,然后以角点的光流特征作为约束条件,根据两帧图像角点集的坐标分布,排除异常角点,完成角点的精确匹配,实现图像之间的高精度运动估计。通过对视频序列进行实验,采用差图法可主观地发现该运动估计算法的有效性;以峰值信噪比作为评价指标,发现原始视频序列的帧间峰值信噪比明显低于仿射视频序列的帧间峰值信噪比。前者的平均值为22.8072,后者的平均值为33.3854,从而客观地说明了该算法的有效性和稳定性。     

Dewetting near the glass transition: transition from a capillary force dominated to a dissipation dominated regime

Dynamics and corresponding morphology of dewetting of thin polystyrene films at temperatures close to the glass transition were investigated by measuring simultaneously dewetted distance and width of the rim. Comparing the opening of cylindrical holes with the retraction of a straight contact line revealed (i). a drastic influence of the geometry (planar or radial symmetry) on the dynamics at early stages, (ii). a new logarithmic dewetting regime, and (iii). transitions between four dewetting regimes clearly indicated by changes in the shape of the rim. The complete dewetting scenario can be understood as an initial dominance of capillary driving forces, which is progressively overtaken by dissipation related to the increasing size of the rim.

Sharp corners as sources of spiral pairs

It is demonstrated that using the FitzHugh-Nagumo model, stimulation of excitable media inside a region possessing sharp corners, can lead to the appearance of sources of spiral-pairs of sustained activity. The two conditions for such source creation are: The corners should be less than 120° and the range of stimulating amplitudes should be small, occurring just above the threshold value and decreasing with the corner angle. The basic mechanisms driving the phenomenon are discussed. These include: A. If the corner angle is below 120°, the wave generated inside cannot emerge at the corner tip, resulting in the creation of two free edges which start spiraling towards each other. B. Spiraling must be strong enough; otherwise annihilation of the rotating arms would occur too soon to create a viable source. C. The intricacies of the different radii involved are elucidated. Possible applications in heart stimulation and in chemical reactions are considered.
