Guided waves in a monopile of an offshore wind turbine

We study the guided waves in a structure which consists of two overlapping steel plates, with the overlapping section grouted. This geometry is often encountered in support structures of large industrial offshore constructions, such as wind turbine monopiles. It has been recognized for some time that the guided wave technology offers distinctive advantages for the ultrasonic inspections and health monitoring of structures of this extent. It is demonstrated that there exist advantageous operational regimes of ultrasonic transducers guaranteeing a good inspection range, even when the structures are totally submerged in water, which is a consideration when the wind turbines are deployed off shore.     

风场影响下直接空冷系统热风回流率的空间分布特性

环境风场影响下,电站直接空冷系统热风回流加剧,传热性能恶化。掌握风场作用下直接空冷系统热风回流率的空间分布特性,可为空冷系统的设计和运行提供理论依据。以典型2×600 MW直接空冷电站为例,通过数值模拟获得了冷却空气流场和温度场,分别计算了空冷岛和各个空冷单元的热风回流率。计算结果表明,随环境风速增加,空冷岛热风回流率升高,并随风向发生显著变化,炉后来风时空冷岛热风回流最为严重。空冷单元热风回流率呈现空间分布特性,风场不同区域空冷单元热风回流存在显著差异,处于风场上游空冷单元通常具有更大的热风回流率。     

The fekete-szegö problem for close-to-convex functions with respect to the koebe function

An analytic function f   in the unit disk D :={z ∈ ? : |z| < 1}$\mathbb{D}\hspace{0.17em}:=\left\{z\hspace{0.17em}\in \hspace{0.17em}?\hspace{0.17em}:\hspace{0.17em}\left|z\right|\hspace{0.17em}<\hspace{0.17em}1\right\}$, standardly normalized, is called close-to-convex with respect to the Koebe function k(z) := z/(1−z)², z ∈ D$k\left(z\right)\hspace{0.17em}:=\hspace{0.17em}z/{\left(1-z\right)}^2,\hspace{0.17em}z\hspace{0.17em}\in \hspace{0.17em}\mathbb{D}$ if there exists δ∈(-π/2,π/2) such that Re{eiδ(1−z)²f^′(z)} > 0, ∈ D$\text{Re}\left\{{\text{e}}^{\text{i}\delta }{\left(1-z\right)}^2{f}^{\prime }\left(z\right)\right\}\hspace{0.17em}>\hspace{0.17em}0,\hspace{0.17em}\in \hspace{0.17em}\mathbb{D}$. For the class C(k) of all close-to-convex functions with respect to k, related to the class of functions convex in the positive direction of the imaginary axis, the Fekete-Szegö problem is studied.

Polynomiality of an inexact infeasible interior point algorithm for semidefinite programming

In this paper we present a primal-dual inexact infeasible interior-point algorithm for semidefinite programming problems (SDP). This algorithm allows the use of search directions that are calculated from the defining linear system with only moderate accuracy, and does not require feasibility to be maintained even if the initial iterate happened to be a feasible solution of the problem. Under a mild assumption on the inexactness, we show that the algorithm can find an -approximate solution of an SDP in O(n²ln(1/)) iterations. This bound of our algorithm is the same as that of the exact infeasible interior point algorithms proposed by Y.

Scheduling electric power production at a wind farm

We present a model for scheduling power generation at a wind farm, and introduce a particle swarm optimization algorithm with a small world network structure to solve the model. The solution generated by the algorithm defines the operational status of wind turbines for a scheduling horizon selected by a decision maker. Different operational scenarios are constructed based on time series data of electricity price, grid demand, and wind speed. The computational results provide insights into management of a wind farm.

Time and direction of arrival detection and filtering for imaging in strongly scattering random media

We study detection and imaging of small reflectors in heavy clutter, using an array of transducers that emits and receives sound waves. Heavy clutter means that multiple scattering of the waves in the heterogeneous host medium is strong and overwhelms the arrivals from the small reflectors. Building on the adaptive time-frequency filter of [Borcea et al, SIIMS 2011;4(3)], we propose a robust method for detecting the direction of arrival of the direct echoes from the small reflectors, and suppressing the unwanted clutter backscatter. This improves the resolution of imaging. We illustrate the performance of the method with realistic numerical simulations in a non-destructive testing setup.
