Parallel computing for fringe pattern processing: A multicore CPU approach in MATLAB environment

In the process of measurements such as optical interferometry and fringe projection, an important stage is fringe pattern analysis. Many advanced fringe analysis algorithms have been proposed including regularized phase tracking (RPT), partial differential equation based methods, wavelet transform, Wigner–Ville distribution, and windowed Fourier transform. However, most of those algorithms are computationally expensive. MATLAB^® is a general algorithm development environment with powerful image processing and other supporting toolboxes. It is also commonly used in photomechanical data analysis. With rapid development of multicore CPU technique, using multicore computer and MATLAB^® is an intuitive and simple way to speed up the algorithms for fringe pattern analysis. The paper introduces two acceleration approaches for fringe pattern processing. The first approach is task parallelism using multicore computer and MATLAB^® parallel computing toolbox. Since some algorithms are embarrassing problems, our first approach makes use of this characteristic to parallelize these algorithms. For this approach, parallelized windowed Fourier filtering (WFF) algorithm serves as an example to show how parallel computing toolbox accelerates the algorithm. Second, data parallelism using multicore computer and MATLAB^® parallel computing toolbox is proposed. A high level parallel wrapping structure is designed, which can be used for speeding up any local processing algorithms. WFF, windowed Fourier ridges (WFR), and median filter are used as examples to illustrate the speedup. At last, the results show that the parallel versions of former sequential algorithm with simple modifications achieve the speedup up to 6.6 times.     

Time evolution of diffusion fringes in the Christiansen effect

When laser radiation is allowed to fall at the diffusion region separating two liquids in a Christiansen filter, a new fringe pattern appears. We termed it as “diffusion fringes”. In the present work, we have studied this interference fringe pattern and its time evolution. It has been observed that there is a definite co-relation between the shape of the fringe pattern and the width of the diffusion region. The time evolution of this fringe patterns indicates that as diffusion region increases the circular fringe becomes elliptical and finally straight. It is believed that a detailed investigation of these diffusion fringes will throw much needed light not only on the theory of the Christiansen effect but also on the rate of diffusion between two molecules.     

Fabrication and characterization of a Cu seed layer on a 60-nm trench-patterned SiO2 substrate by a self-assembled-monolayer (SAM) process

Continuous electroless deposition of a 10-nm thick layer of Cu was successfully performed on a SiO₂/Si substrate coated with a 3-nm Au catalytic layer. The Au catalytic layer was formed by a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) process terminated with NH₂ headgroups, upon which negatively charged Au particles were deposited via electrostatic interaction with the positively charged NH₂-SAM. The Au and NH₂-SAM layers were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle analysis. Atomic force microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and XPS revealed that the Cu layer formed by this electroless processes had good step-coverage, small grain size, and excellent adhesion to the substrate. The proposed process is a very promising method for fabrication of a conductive Cu seed layer in a 60-nm trench-pattern.     

正方形小通道内的非牛顿流体-氮气两相流动流型的实验研究

对水力直径为2.5 mm的正方形小通道内的非牛顿流体-氮气的垂直向上两相流动流型进行了可视化实验,工质分别为:浓度0.2%的聚丙烯酰胺(PAM)和0.2%的黄原胶(XG)水溶液,表观气速0.1～100 m/s,表观液速0.01～6 m/s.观察到的典型流型有:弹状流、搅拌流、弹环状流和环状流,其中弹环状流未见于水-空气上升流动.在PAM-氮气实验中发现了一种新流型-泡状-弹状流.通过流型图对比,发现非牛顿流体的搅拌流区域较牛顿流体窄,弹状-搅拌流转变线也明显右移,非牛顿流体的黏性对流型转变的影响较大.

Abstract：

The (G'/G)-expansion method is firstly extended to construct exact non-traveling wave general solutions of high-dimensional nonlinear equations, explore special soliton-structure excitation and evolution, and investigate the chaotic patterns and evolution of these solutions. Taking as an example, new non-traveling solutions are calculated for (3 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear Burgers system by using the (G'/G)-expansion method. By setting properly the arbitrary function in the solutions, special soliton-structure excitation and evolution are observed, and the chaotic patterns and evolution are studied for the solutions.

轴向间距对压气机失速特性的影响

采取在静子叶片表面埋入微型压力传感器的方法,对叶尖、叶中和叶根三个截面上的动态压力进行测量,实验研究了六个轴向间距下压气机的旋转失速特性。实验结果表明:轴向间距对压气机失速点的流量系数影响很大,转静子轴向间距减少,压气机失速推迟;压气机刚进入旋转失速的模态与轴向间距有关,轴向间距较大时,压气机首先进入多团全叶高旋转失速,当轴向间距为21％CR时,压气机直接进入单团全叶高旋转失速;轴向间距不同,近失速点的压力扰动也存在差别。
