Nodeless variable finite element method for heat transfer analysis by means of flux-based formulation and mesh adaptation

Based on flux-based formulation, a nodeless variable element method is developed to analyze two-dimensional steady-state and transient heat transfer problems. The nodeless variable element employs quadratic interpolation functions to provide higher solution accuracy without necessity to actually generate additional nodes. The flux-based formulation is applied to reduce the complexity in deriving the finite element equations as compared to the conventional finite element method. The solution accuracy is further improved by implementing an adaptive meshing technique to generate finite element mesh that can adapt and move along corresponding to the solution behavior. The technique generates small elements in the regions of steep solution gradients to provide accurate solution, and meanwhile it generates larger elements in the other regions where the solution gradients are slight to reduce the computational time and the computer memory. The effectiveness of the combined procedure is demonstrated by heat transfer problems that have exact solutions. These problems are: (a) a steady-state heat conduction analysis in a square plate subjected to a highly localized surface heating, and (b) a transient heat conduction analysis in a long plate subjected to a moving heat source.

张量积型Said-Ball曲面的预处理渐近迭代逼近法

为加快张量积型Said-Ball曲面渐近迭代逼近法的收敛速度,探讨了张量积型Said-Ball曲面渐近迭代逼近法的预处理技术。首先利用对角补偿约化技术构造了预处理子,然后结合矩阵Kronecker积性质,采取预处理渐近迭代逼近法求解张量积型Said-Ball曲面。为进一步降低计算量并提高算法的稳定性,利用广义极小残差法求解预处理方程,得到预处理渐近迭代逼近法的非精确求解方法。分析了预处理渐近迭代逼近法及非精确求解方法的收敛性。最后用数值实例说明预处理子能大大减小迭代矩阵的谱半径,令预处理技术及其非精确求解方法的计算效率明显提高。此外,由于对角补偿预处理子能改善配置矩阵的谱分布,因此也可用于对广义极小残差法的预处理,以改善其收敛性。

温跃层边界提取的组合算法*

本文提出一种用于海洋温跃层边界提取的组合算法,该算法基于调整判定阈值后的垂直梯度法和一种改进函数模型几何形态后的拟阶梯函数逼近法。为验证该算法对于温跃层边界提取的适应性、客观性,利用中国Argo实时资料中心发布的全球海洋Argo网格资料集（BOA_Argo）,选取2018年夏季0°~30°N,135°E~165°E所在的太平洋区域的温度剖面数据进行处理,结果表明,该算法对低纬度海区温度剖面拟合质量较好,拟合均方根误差普遍低于1.3℃,而且提取到的温跃层上下边界在纬向更加平缓,然而对于中高纬度海区的温度剖面,组合算法的处理效果不佳,更适合直接通过垂直梯度法进行温跃层的提取。     

Cyclic Heating-Annealing and Boltzmann Distribution of Free Energies in a Spin-Glass System

Ergodicity of a spin-glass is broken at low temperatures; the system is trapped in one of many ergodic configurational domains. Transitions between different ergodic domains are achievable through a heating-annealing procedure. If this experiment is repeated infinite times, all ergodic configurational domains will be visited with frequences that decreasing exponentially with their free energies. The mean free energy density of a spin-glass system on a random graph is calculated based on this free energy Boltzmann distribution in the present work, by means of the cavity approach.     

Assessment of Chemical Composition and Anti-Penicillium Activity of Vapours of Essential Oils from Abies Alba and Two Melaleuca Species in Food Model Systems

The possibilities of the practical utilization of essential oils (EOs) from various plant species in the food industry have attracted the attention of the scientific community. Following our previous studies, the antifungal activities of three further commercial EOs, Melaleuca armillaris subsp. armillaris (rosalina; REO), Melaleuca quinquenervia (niaouli; NEO), and Abies alba (fir; FEO), were evaluated in the present research in respect to their chemical profiles, over four different concentrations, 62.5 μL/L, 125 μL/L, 250 μL/L, and 500 μL/L. The findings revealed that the major compounds of REO, NEO, and FEO were linalool (47.5%), 1,8-cineole (40.8%), and α-pinene (25.2%), respectively. In vitro antifungal determinations showed that the inhibition zones of a Penicillium spp. mycelial growth ranged from no inhibitory effectiveness (00.00 ± 00.00 mm) to 16.00 ± 1.00 mm, indicating a very strong antifungal activity which was detected against P. citrinum after the highest REO concentration exposure. Furthermore, the in situ antifungal efficacy of all EOs investigated was shown to be dose-dependent. In this sense, we have found that the highest concentration (500 µL/L) of REO, NEO, and FEO significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the growth of all Penicillium strains inoculated on the bread, carrot, and potato models. These results indicate that the investigated EOs may be promising innovative agents in order to extend the shelf life of different types of food products, such as bread, carrot and potato.
