Unsteady free surface wave-induced separation: Vortical structures and instabilities

Vortical structures and instability mechanisms of the unsteady free surface wave-induced separation around a surface-piercing NACA0024 foil at a Froude number of 0.37 and a Reynolds number of 1.52×10⁶ are studied using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) code with a blended k?ε/k?ω turbulence model and a free surface tracking method. At the free surface, the separated flow reattaches to the foil surface resulting in a wall-bounded separation bubble. The mean and instantaneous flow topologies in the separation region are similar to the owl-face pattern. The initial shear-layer instability, the Karman-like instability, and the flapping instability are identified, and their scaling and physical mechanisms are studied. Validation with experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) and comparison with complementary detached-eddy simulation (DES) indicate that URANS resolves part of the organized oscillations due to the large-scale unsteady vortical structures and instabilities, thereby capturing the gross features of the unsteady separation. The URANS solutions show an initial amplitude defect of 30% for the free surface oscillations where the shear layer separates, and the defect progressively increases downstream as URANS rapidly dissipates the rolled up vortices.

Retention Behaviors of Uronic Acid-containing Polysaccharides and Neutral Polysaccharides in HPGPC

The determination of molecular weights (Mw) of polysaccharides has served as an important process since the physical properties of the polysaccharides are closely related to their Mw and/or molecular weights distribution (MWD). For Mw and MWD determinations, high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) has gained wide acceptance as a preferred method due to its high sensitivity, speed and reproducibility. In chromatography, it is well known that the molecular weights are determ…     

A Fast and Simple Screening Method for m-Nisoldipine and Its Related Substances by MEKC

A rapid and simple method has been developed and validated for the determination of m-nisoldipine and its five related substances using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC). The key factors, including pH, buffer concentration and buffer additive, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration, applied voltage and temperature were systematically investigated in an uncoated fused silica capillary. The total analysis time was less than 9 min. The forced degradation products of m-nisoldipine, which were induced by hydrogen peroxide, acidic and basic conditions, heat and light, were also tested.

     

Carbon monolith: Preparation,characterization and application as microextraction fiber

A carbon monolith was synthesized via a polymerization–carbonization method, styrene and divinylbenzene being adopted as precursors and dodecanol as a porogen during polymerization. The resultant monolith had bimodal porous substructure, narrowly distributed nano skeleton pores and uniform textural pores or throughpores. The carbon monolith was directly used as an extracting fiber, taking place of the coated silica fibers in commercially available solid-phase microextraction device, for the extraction of phenols followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Under the studied conditions, the calibration curves were linear from 0.5 to 50 ng mL⁻¹ for phenol, o-nitrophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and p-chlorophenol. The limits of detection were between 0.04 and 0.43 ng mL⁻¹. The recoveries of the phenols spiked in real water samples at 10 ng mL⁻¹ were between 85% and 98% with the relative standard deviations below 10%. Compared with the commercial coated ones (e.g. PDMS, CW/DVB and DVB/CAR/PDMS), the carbon monolith-based fiber had advantages of faster extraction equilibrium and higher extraction capacity due to the superior pore connectivity and pore openness resulting from its bimodal porous substructure.     

Asymmetric bioreduction of substituted acenaphthenequinones using plant enzymatic systems： A novel strategy for the preparation of （＋）- and （-）-mono hydroxyacenaphthenones

Regio- and enantioselective reduction of substituted acenaphthenequinones were conducted under mild reaction conditions using plant enzymatic systems. A screening of 15 plants allowed the selection of two suitable plants fulfilling enantiocomple- mentarity. The （＋）- and （-）-mono hydroxyacenaphthenones were achieved with high conversion and good enantiomeric purity using peach （Prunus persica （L.） Batsch., conversion 98%, 71% ee） and carrot （Daucus carota L., conversion 95%, 81% ee）, respectively.

Easy Fabrication of Dense Ceramic Membrane for Oxygen Separation

During the past decade, dense-type oxygen-permeable ceramic membranes have received considerable attention both in the fields of scientific research and industrial application1, 2. Such membranes have mixed oxygen-ionic and electronic conductivity, and they can permeate oxygen at high temperature under an oxygen gradient without the need of outside connecting line and electrodes. Envisioned applications range from small scale oxygen pumps for medical use to large scale integrated gasification …     

Synthesis and Isolation of Diastereomers of Optically Active Cyclomercurated Ferrocenylimines

IntroductionOrganomercurials have been used extensively in organic synthesis and synthesis of other organometallics due to their ability to accommodate practically all the important organic functional groups and their ease in undergoing transmetallation for syntheses of transition metal organometallics which are very useful in organic synthesis. Recently, we reported the synthesis of optically active 1,2-disubstituted cyclomercurated ferrocenylimines by transmetallation reaction of planar chir…
