Optical Trapping with Focused Surface Waves

Near-field optical trapping can be realized with focused evanescent waves that are excited at the water–glass interface due to the total internal reflection, or with focused plasmonic waves excited on the water–gold interface. Herein, the performance of these two kinds of near-field optical trapping techniques is compared using the same optical microscope configuration. Experimental results show that only a single-micron polystyrene bead can be trapped by the focused evanescent waves, whereas many beads are simultaneously attracted to the center of the excited region by focused plasmonic waves. This difference in trapping behavior is analyzed from the electric field intensity distributions of these two kinds of focused surface waves and the difference in trapping behavior is attributed to photothermal effects due to the light absorption by the gold film.     

The limiting current density of copper electrodeposition on vertical electrode under the conditions of electrolyte natural convection

The problem of determining the limiting current density of copper electrodeposition on the vertical electrode under the conditions of electrolyte natural convection is solved numerically. The incomplete dissociation of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid by the second stage and the concentration dependences of physicochemical properties of solution are taken into consideration. The effect of incomplete dissociation of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid by the second stage on the ionic transport in the copper electrodeposition and on the limiting current density is estimated by comparing the results, which are calculated taking into account and ignoring the concentration dependences of dissociation constants, and also for the limiting cases of virtually complete dissociation of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid. It is shown that, in excess of supporting electrolyte, incomplete dissociation of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid only slightly affects the limiting current density: the limiting current density changes not more than by 10% with the variation of the dissociation constants by several orders of magnitude. At the moderate and small concentrations of supporting electrolyte, incomplete dissociation should be taken into account, because the error of limiting current density can exceed 50%.

浸没边界-简化热格子Boltzmann方法研究及其应用

针对流固耦合传热问题,本文提出了一种基于浸没边界-简化热格子玻尔兹曼方法(immersed boundary method-simplified thermal lattice Boltzmann method,IB-STLBM)的耦合模型.不同于传统的格子玻尔兹曼方法使用分布函数演化流场和温度场,简化热格子玻尔兹曼方法(simplified thermal lattice Boltzmann method,STLBM)的演化过程不需要依赖分布函数,只涉及平衡态分布函数和非平衡态分布函数,能够直接演化宏观量,极大减小了计算过程中所占用的虚拟内存,简化了边界条件的实现方式,同时具有较高的稳定性.传统的浸没边界法对流场的计算采用欧拉网格,对固体边界采用拉格朗日网格,认为固体边界是对流场产生某种体积力.在应用浸没边界法时,汲取介观的思想,把固体的介入看作是对流场的干扰,打破了固体附近流体介观微团颗粒原始的平衡状态,这种干扰可以看作是在耦合边界上产生的一个非平衡项,可用非平衡态分布函数来表示.基于此,在模型中浸没边界法与简化热格子玻尔兹曼方法更紧密联系在一起,更大程度发挥二者的优点,整个计算过程更加简单直观,符合物理特性.通过对热圆柱绕流和内含热颗粒的封闭方腔自然对流问题的模拟以及对其结果的分析,验证了该算法在求解流固耦合传热问题的有效性和可行性.

Recovery-Based Error Estimator for Natural Convection Equations Based on Defect-Correction Methods

In this paper, we propose an adaptive defect-correction method for natural convection (NC) equations. A defect-correction method (DCM) is proposed for solving NC equations to overcome the convection dominance problem caused by a high Rayleigh number. To solve the large amount of computation and the discontinuity of the gradient of the numerical solution, we combine a new recovery-type posteriori estimator in view of the gradient recovery and superconvergent theory. The presented reliability and efficiency analysis shows that the true error can be effectively bounded by the recovery-based error estimator. Finally, the stability, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are confirmed by several numerical investigations.     

封闭圆内开缝圆自然对流换热的振荡特性

本文通过数值计算探讨了封闭圆内开缝圆自然对流换热的振荡特性。数值计算以整个圆为计算区域,采用了非稳态的数学模型和具有QUICK差分格式的SIMPLE算法。在相同条件下计算结果和实验结果符合很好。数值结果显示, 当几何结构一定时,Rayleigh数Ra小于某个临界值时,流动和换热处于稳态,并且关于垂直中心线对称;Ra大于这个临界值时,流动和换热是振荡的,非对称的。数值实验还表明,流动和换热出现振荡时的临界Rayleigh数Rac与开缝圆的开缝度有关,且流动和换热的振荡会出现对称振荡和非对称振荡两种情形。     

A high resolution NV/TVD Hermite polynomial upwind scheme for convection‐dominated problems

A high‐order convection‐bounded scheme is constructed by combining the total variational diminishing constraint and convection boundedness criterion condition in the normalized variable formulation. It employs the Hermite polynomial interpolation to design its characteristic line in the normalized variable diagram. Numerical results of the convection‐dominated problems with smooth or discontinuous initial distributions demonstrate the present scheme possesses high resolution and good robustness.

Numerical estimation of mixed convection heat transfer in vertical helically coiled tube heat exchangers

A numerical investigation of the mixed convection heat transfer from vertical helically coiled tubes in a cylindrical shell at various Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers, various coil‐to‐tube diameter ratios and non‐dimensional coil pitches was carried out. The particular difference in this study compared with other similar studies is the boundary conditions for the helical coil. Most studies focus on constant wall temperature or constant heat flux, whereas in this study it was a fluid‐to‐fluid heat exchanger. The purpose of this article is to assess the influence of the tube diameter, coil pitch and shell‐side mass flow rate on shell‐side heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger. Different characteristic lengths were used in the Nusselt number calculations to determine which length best fits the data and finally it has been shown that the normalized length of the shell‐side of the heat exchanger reasonably demonstrates the desired relation.
