HDPE/CaCO3纳米复合材料的自由体积及其界面特性

采用熔融共混方法，制备了不同纳米碳酸钙(CaC03)颗粒含量的高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)纳米复合材料，测量了复合材料的力学性能，观察到在纳米颗粒含量为6％时，其冲击强度有较大提高．同时，用正电子湮没寿命谱(PALS)研究了不同纳米颗粒含量的纳米复合材料的自由体积特性和界面信息，并探讨了它们对材料宏观力学性能的影响．结果发现，复合材料中最长寿命τ3变化不大，但其强度I3有明显减小；第二寿命分量与纳米复合材料中纳米CaC03颗粒和HDPE链段之间的界面结构密切相关．     

Aspherical manifolds with relatively hyperbolic fundamental groups

We show that the aspherical manifolds produced via the relative strict hyperboli- zation of polyhedra enjoy many group-theoretic and topological properties of open finite volume negatively pinched manifolds, including relative hyperbolicity, nonvanishing of simplicial volume, co-Hopf property, finiteness of outer automorphism group, absence of splitting over elementary subgroups, and acylindricity. In fact, some of these properties hold for any compact aspherical manifold with incompressible aspherical boundary components, provided the fundamental group is hyperbolic relative to fundamental groups of boundary components. We also show that no manifold obtained via the relative strict hyperbolization can be embedded into a compact Kähler manifold of the same dimension, except when the dimension is two.     

Comparative study of lattice‐Boltzmann and finite volume methods for the simulation of laminar flow through a 4:1 planar contraction

In the present paper, a comparative study of numerical solutions for Newtonian fluids based on the lattice‐Boltzmann method (LBM) and the classical finite volume method (FVM) is presented for the laminar flow through a 4:1 planar contraction at a Reynolds number of value one, Re=1. In this study, the stress field for LBM is directly obtained from the distribution function. The calculations of the stress based on the FVM‐data use the evaluations of velocity gradients with finite differences. The stress field for both LBM and FVM is expressed in the present study in terms of the shear stress and the first normal stress difference. The lateral and axial profiles of the velocity, the shear stress and the first normal stress difference for both methods are investigated. It is shown that the LBM results for the velocity and the stresses are in excellent agreement with the FVM results. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A new algorithm for surface tension model in moving particle methods

A new algorithm for the surface tension model was developed for moving particle methods. The algorithm is based on the link‐list search algorithm and the continuum surface tension (CST) model. The developed algorithm with the CST model was implemented to a kind of moving particle approach, the finite volume particle (FVP) method. The FVP method with the new algorithm was tested by oscillatory behaviour of a two‐dimensional droplet. The oscillatory period agrees well with analytical one, and the transient shape of the droplet is also in good agreement with that obtained by other numerical methods. The droplet impact on a liquid surface was also studied using the new algorithm. The deposition and splashing phenomena were clearly reproduced. Simulated spread radius of the splashing phenomena was consistent with a power law. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Finite volume schemes for multi-dimensional hyperbolic systems based on the use of bicharacteristics

In this paper we present recent results for the bicharacteristic based finite volume schemes, the so-called finite volume evolution Galerkin (FVEG) schemes. These methods were proposed to solve multi-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. They combine the usually conflicting design objectives of using the conservation form and following the characteristics, or bicharacteristics. This is realized by combining the finite volume formulation with approximate evolution operators, which use bicharacteristics of the multi-dimensional hyperbolic system. In this way all of the infinitely many directions of wave propagation are taken into account. The main goal of this paper is to present a self-contained overview on the recent results. We study the L ¹-stability of the finite volume schemes obtained by various approximations of the flux integrals. Several numerical experiments presented in the last section confirm robustness and correct multi-dimensional behaviour of the FVEG methods.

A Lax-Wendroff type theorem for unstructured quasi-uniform grids

A well-known theorem of Lax and Wendroff states that if the sequence of approximate solutions to a system of hyperbolic conservation laws generated by a conservative consistent numerical scheme converges boundedly a.e. as the mesh parameter goes to zero, then the limit is a weak solution of the system. Moreover, if the scheme satisfies a discrete entropy inequality as well, the limit is an entropy solution. The original theorem applies to uniform Cartesian grids; this article presents a generalization for quasi-uniform grids (with Lipschitz-boundary cells) uniformly continuous inhomogeneous numerical fluxes and nonlinear inhomogeneous sources. The added generality allows a discussion of novel applications like local time stepping, grids with moving vertices and conservative remapping. A counterexample demonstrates that the theorem is not valid for arbitrary non-quasi-uniform grids.

     

Simulation of shallow flows over variable topographies using unstructured grids

Simulation of shallow flows over variable topographies is a challenging case for most available shock‐capturing schemes. This problem arises because the source terms and flux gradients are not balanced in the numerical computations. Treatments for this problem generally work well on structured grids, but they are usually too expensive, and most of them are not directly applicable to unstructured grids. In this paper we propose two efficient methods to treat the source terms without upwinding and to satisfy the compatibility condition on unstructured grids. In the first method, the calculation of the bed slope source term is performed by employing a compatible approximation of water depth at the cell interfaces. In the second one, different components of the bed slope term are considered separately and a compatible discretization of the components is proposed. The present treatments are applicable for most schemes including the Roe's method without changing the performance of the original scheme for smooth topographies.

A mixed finite volume scheme for anisotropic diffusion problems on any grid

We present a new finite volume scheme for anisotropic heterogeneous diffusion problems on unstructured irregular grids, which simultaneously gives an approximation of the solution and of its gradient. The approximate solution is shown to converge to the continuous one as the size of the mesh tends to 0, and an error estimate is given. An easy implementation method is then proposed, and the efficiency of the scheme is shown on various types of grids and for various diffusion matrices.
