An efficient algorithm for hypersonic viscous flows

The CSCM-S algorithm proposed by Lombard et al. is a very attractive tool for solving multidimensional Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. However, it is not economical due to the use of global sweeps in the whole computational domain. In this paper we suggest a modified strategy, which combines a single-marching technique for supersonic dominated region with a multi-sweep procedure for pure subsonic and complex flowfield. The new algorithm may save significantly CPU time and is more suitable for engineering applications. The project supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China

硼酸钾做润滑油添加剂的抗磨性能之研究

作者利用Shell-Seta四球试验机研究了白油中所含硼酸钾的抗磨特性,以及分散刘中性烷基苯磺酸钙对硼酸钾抗磨性能的影响,并且利用X-射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)和俄歇电子能谱仪(AES)考察了摩擦表面的元素组成及硼元素的价态。结果表明,含硼酸钾的白油能够在摩擦表面形成含硼酸钾的表面膜而具有较好的抗磨性,硼在摩擦表面膜中以硼酸钾的形式存在,分散剂烷基苯磺酸钙会影响硼酸钾沉积腆的形成及其与金属表面的结合强度而降低抗磨性能。

A STUDY ON SHIP VIBRATION USING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

when the beam theory was used to calculate ship hull vibration,greater discrepancies were found between theoretical cal-culations and actual measurements especially at higher modes.Thusthe beam model cannot be considered as a practical one for higher-mode calculations.This paper presents the application of two-dimensional finite element model for the calculation of ship ver-tical vibration.Using the multi-element structural dynamic a-nalysis program DDJ(DL)developed by ourselves,the hull vibra-tion analysis of two ships(vessel A and vessel B)was carriedout on the Model-709 Computer made in the People’s Republic ofChina.The results of the calculation,when compared with actualmeasurements.show that the two-dimensional model is much moreefficient than the traditional beam model.The agreement be-tween the calculations and measurements has been improved greatly,and this discrepancy at the4th·and5th-modes has decreased towithin5%as compared to that of more than20%in the traditionalmodel.Furthermore.the mode     

Light‐Driven Reversible Alignment Switching of Liquid Crystals Enabled by Azo Thiol Grafted Gold Nanoparticles

Stimuli‐directed alignment control of liquid crystals (LCs) with desired molecular orientation is currently in the limelight for the development of smart functional materials and devices. Here, photoresponsive azo thiol (AzoSH) was grafted onto gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The resulting hybrid GNPs were able to homogeneously mix with a commercially available nematic LC host, as evidenced by Cryo‐TEM. Interestingly, the LC nanocomposites were found to undergo reversible alignment transition upon light irradiation as a consequence of the trans–cis photoisomerization of the azo groups on the GNP surface. LC molecules in either planar or bare glass cells were able to change their alignment to vertical upon UV irradiation, while the vertically aligned LC molecules returned to the planar or random orientation under visible irradiation. Neither the azo thiol molecules nor the unfunctionalized GNPs alone promoted the alignment of the LC molecules in the system upon light irradiation. The photoinduced vertical alignment without applied electric or magnetic field was very stable over time and with respect to temperature. Furthermore, an optically switchable device based on the photostimulated reversible alignment control of LCs was demonstrated.     

Reversing the Stereoselectivity of a Palladium‐Catalyzed O‐Glycosylation through an Inner‐Sphere or Outer‐Sphere Pathway

An efficient and concise method for the construction of various O‐glycosidic bonds by a palladium‐catalyzed reaction with a 3‐O‐picoloyl glucal has been developed. The stereochemistry of the anomeric center derives from either an inner‐sphere or outer‐sphere pathway. Harder nucleophiles, such as aliphatic alcohols and sodium phenoxides give β‐products, and α products result from using softer nucleophiles, such as phenol.     

Solvent‐dependent structural dynamics of 2(1H)‐pyridinone in light absorbing S4(ππ*) state

The B‐band resonance Raman spectra of 2(1H)‐pyridinone (NHP) in water and acetonitrile were obtained, and their intensity patterns were found to be significantly different. To explore the underlying excited state tautomeric reaction mechanisms of NHP in water and acetonitrile, the vibrational analysis was carried out for NHP, 2(1D)‐pyridinone (NDP), NHP–(H₂O)_n (n = 1, 2) clusters, and NDP–(D₂O)_n (n = 1, 2) clusters on the basis of the FT‐Raman experiments, the B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) computations using PCM solvent model, and the normal mode analysis. Good agreements between experimental and theoretically predicted frequencies and intensities in different surrounding environments enabled reliable assignments of Raman bands in both the FT‐Raman and the resonance Raman spectra. The results indicated that most of the B‐band resonance Raman spectra in H₂O was assignable to the fundamental, overtones, and combination bands of about ten vibration modes of ring‐type NHP–(H₂O)₂ cluster, while most of the B‐band resonance Raman spectra in CH₃CN was assigned to the fundamental, overtones, and combination bands of about eight vibration modes of linear‐type NHP–CH₃CN. The solvent effect of the excited state enol‐keto tautomeric reaction mechanisms was explored on the basis of the significant difference in the short‐time structural dynamics of NHP in H₂O and CH₃CN. The inter‐molecular and intra‐molecular ESPT reaction mechanisms were proposed respectively to explain the Franck–Condon region structural dynamics of NHP in H₂O and CH₃CN.Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
