Predicting ion selectivity in water purification by capacitive deionization: Electric double layer models

Ion-selective water treatment is needed to address emerging problems in an energy- and cost-efficient manner. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a membraneless water treatment technology, which relies on storing ions in charged electric double layers (EDLs) of micropores. CDI has shown remarkable selectivity, with local density approximations (LDAs) showing some success in guiding selective separations. However, many underlying processes are represented by lumped fitting parameters in LDA models, hindering further progress. Atomistic models help unravel selectivity mechanisms, but are difficult to integrate with cell-level CDI theory. Here, we review and extend LDA models for CDI, highlight a knowledge gap in connecting between LDA and atomistic models for CDI, and emphasize and build upon analogies between micropore EDLs and nanofiltration membranes.     

解非定常不可压缩N-S方程的迭代压力Poisson方程法

１．引 言 数值求解不可压缩流体流动问题可以采用原始变量的方程作为控制方程,也可以用涡量一流函数方程作为控制方程．直接求解原始变量的不可压缩 Ｎａｖｉｅｒ—Ｓｔｏｋｅｓ方程存在一个主要困难：速度向量在每一时刻都必须满足零散度约束条件,即不可压缩性连续方程．用涡量一流函数方程求解时,连续方程自动满足,所以不存在约束条件的问题,但涡量的边界条件比较难处理,且不易应用于三维问题和带有自由表面或其它流体交界面的问题． 解决上述速度向量必须满足零散度约束条件的困难的方法有：人工压缩法［３,１７］;压力Ｐｏｉｓ…

本文考虑了反应扩散方程的渐近吸引子，即构造了一个有限维解序列。首先利用数学归纳法证明了该解序列不会远离方程的整体吸引子，其次证明了它在长时间后无限趋于方程的整体吸引子，并且给出了渐近吸引子的维数估计。     

红黑排序混合算法收敛速度分析

The algorithm of applying the block Gauss elimination to the Red-Black or-dering matrix to reduce the order of the system then solve the reduced system byiterative methods is called Hybrid Red-Black Ordering algorithm.In this paper,we discuss the convergence rate of the hybrid methods combined with JACOBI,CG,GMRES(m).Theoretical analysis shows that without preconditioner thesethree hybrid methods converge about 2 times as fast as the corresponding natural ordering methods.For the case that all the eigenvalues is near the real axis, the GMRES(m) algorithm converges about 3 times faster than the natural ordering GMRES(m).Various numerical experiments are presented.For large scale prob-lem with preconditioners, numerical experiments show that the GMRES(m) hybrid methods converge from about 3 times to even 5 times as fast as the natural order-ing methods and the computing time is reduced to about 1/3 even 1/6 of that of the natural ordering methods.     

A probabilistic analysis of a discrete-time evolution in recombination

We study the discrete-time evolution of a recombination transformation in population genetics. The transformation acts on a product probability space, and its evolution can be described by a Markov chain on a set of partitions that converges to the finest partition. We describe the geometric decay rate to this limit and the quasi-stationary behavior of the Markov chain when conditioned on the event that the chain does not hit the limit.
