The search for the development of a reliable mathematical model for understanding bubble dynamics behavior is an ongoing endeavor.A long list of complex phenomena underlies the physics of this problem.In the past decades,the lattice Boltzmann method has emerged as a promising tool to address such complexities.In this regard,we have applied a 121-velocity multiphase lattice Boltzmann model to an asymmetric cluster of bubbles in an acoustic field.A problem as a benchmark is studied to check the consistency and applicability of the model.The problem of interest is to study the deformation and coalescence phenomena in bubble cluster dynamics,as well as the screening effect on an acoustic multibubble medium.It has been observed that the LB model is able to simulate the combination of the three aforementioned phenomena for a bubble cluster as a whole and for every individual bubble in the cluster. 相似文献
A crystal plasticity finite element code is developed to model lattice strains and texture evolution of HCP crystals. The code is implemented to model elastic and plastic deformation considering slip and twinning based plastic deformation. The model accounts for twinning reorientation and growth. Twinning, as well as slip, is considered to follow a rate dependent formulation. The results of the simulations are compared to previously published in situ neutron diffraction data. Experimental results of the evolution of the texture and lattice strains under uniaxial tension/compression loading along the rolling, transverse, and normal direction of a piece of rolled Zircaloy-2 are compared with model predictions. The rate dependent formulation introduced is capable of correctly capturing the influence of slip and twinning deformation on lattice strains as well as texture evolution. 相似文献
A nanoscale catalyst Fe0(FeNPs) supported on the natrolite zeolite nanoparticles (NANPs) is successfully synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) is studied in aqueous suspension containing the catalyst under UV irradiation and H2O2. The effect of various reaction parameters such as initial dye concentration, irradiation time, pH, H2O2 concentration and catalyst dosage on the decolorization of methyl orange is investigated. The degradation study reveals that the reactivity of the catalysts is in order of: photo-NANPs–FeNPs–H2O2 > photo-NANPs–H2O2 > photo-NANPs–FeNPs > photo-H2O2 > NANPs–FeNPs–H2O2. The results show that methyl orange can be effectively decolorized by NANPs–FeNPs via the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. 相似文献
A coarse-grained model for water is developed which maps five water molecules onto one bead. The coarse-grained potential is derived by iteratively matching the radial distribution function of water in the coarse-grained and target models. It is shown that the coarse-grained model has the optimal balance between computational efficiency and accuracy in structural properties. The model has been used to calculate a number of static and dynamic properties, including the density, isobaric thermal expansivity, isothermal compressibility, surface tension, and diffusion coefficient of water. The effect of coarsening on these properties has been discussed. It is shown that while the present coarse-grained model well describes the structural properties of water, expectedly it has a much faster dynamics than the corresponding atomistic models. 相似文献
In this pedagogical communication after demonstrating the legitimacy for using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) to non-Coulombic systems, Hookean H2+/H32+ species are used for AIM analysis. In these systems, in contrast to their Coulombic counterparts, electron density is atom-like and instead of expected two/three topological atoms, just a single topological atom emerges. This observation is used to demonstrate that what is really “seen” by the topological analysis of electron densities is the clustering of electrons. The very trait of monotonic decay of electron density around the “centers” of clustering guarantees the appearance of topological atoms as basin of attraction of the gradient vector field of the electron density. Although observations with Hookean molecules may seem disappointing at first glance, a careful reasoning points to the fact that the QTAIM methodology is extendable to novel domains, by a knowledge of the morphology of underlying densities, beyond the typical Coulombic systems. 相似文献
This paper presents a method for solving posynomial geometric programming with fuzzy coefficients. By utilizing comparison of fuzzy numbers with a method, the programming with fuzzy coefficients is reduced to the programming with constant coefficients. Then the programming with fuzzy coefficients can be solved by using a method for posynomial geometric programming. Finally, one comparative example is used to illustrate advantage of the new method. 相似文献
In this paper, the robust finite-time tracking problem is addressed for a square fully actuated class of nonlinear systems subjected to disturbances and uncertainties. Firstly, two applicable lemmas are derived and novel nonlinear sliding surfaces (manifolds) are defined by applying these lemmas. Secondly, by developing the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control, two different types of robust nonlinear control inputs are designed to meet and accomplish the aforementioned finite-time tracking objective. The global finite-time stability of the closed-loop nonlinear system is evaluated analytically and mathematically. The proposed control inputs are utilized to tackle and solve two interesting issues containing (a): the finite-time tracking problem of the unified chaotic system and (b): the finite-time synchronization of two non-identical hyperchaotic systems. Finally, based on MATLAB software, two numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate and demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed robust finite-time nonlinear control schemes.
This paper deals with hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem with rework. In this problem, jobs are inspected at the last stage, and poorly processed jobs were returned and processed again. Thus, a job may visit a stage more than once, and we have a hybrid flow-shop with re-entrant flow. This kind of a shop may occur in many industries, such as final inspection system in automotive manufacturing. The criterion is to minimize the makespan of the system. We developed a 0–1 mixed-integer program of the problem. Since the hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem is NP-hard, an algorithm for finding an optimal solution in polynomial time does not exist. So we generalized some heuristic methods based on several basic dispatching rules and proposed a variable neighbourhood search (VNS) for the problem with sequence-dependent set-up times and unrelated parallel machines. The computational experiments show that VNS provides better solutions than heuristic methods. 相似文献
PurposeCompressed sensing (CS) provides a promising framework for MR image reconstruction from highly undersampled data, thus reducing data acquisition time. In this context, sparsity-promoting regularization techniques exploit the prior knowledge that MR images are sparse or compressible in a given transform domain. In this work, a new regularization technique was introduced by iterative linearization of the non-convex smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) norm with the aim of reducing the sampling rate even lower than it is required by the conventional l1 norm while approaching an l0 norm.Materials and MethodsThe CS-MR image reconstruction was formulated as an equality-constrained optimization problem using a variable splitting technique and solved using an augmented Lagrangian (AL) method developed to accelerate the optimization of constrained problems. The performance of the resulting SCAD-based algorithm was evaluated for discrete gradients and wavelet sparsifying transforms and compared with its l1-based counterpart using phantom and clinical studies. The k-spaces of the datasets were retrospectively undersampled using different sampling trajectories. In the AL framework, the CS-MRI problem was decomposed into two simpler sub-problems, wherein the linearization of the SCAD norm resulted in an adaptively weighted soft thresholding rule with a sparsity enhancing effect.ResultsIt was demonstrated that the proposed regularization technique adaptively assigns lower weights on the thresholding of gradient fields and wavelet coefficients, and as such, is more efficient in reducing aliasing artifacts arising from k-space undersampling, when compared to its l1-based counterpart.ConclusionThe SCAD regularization improves the performance of l1-based regularization technique, especially at reduced sampling rates, and thus might be a good candidate for some applications in CS-MRI. 相似文献
