A LES-CMC formulation for premixed flames including differential diffusion

A finite volume large eddy simulation–conditional moment closure (LES-CMC) numerical framework for premixed combustion developed in a previous studyhas been extended to account for differential diffusion. The non-unity Lewis number CMC transport equation has an additional convective term in sample space proportional to the conditional diffusion of the progress variable, that in turn accounts for diffusion normal to the flame front and curvature-induced effects. Planar laminar simulations are first performed using a spatially homogeneous non-unity Lewis number CMC formulation and validated against physical-space fully resolved reference solutions. The same CMC formulation is subsequently used to numerically investigate the effects of curvature for laminar flames having different effective Lewis numbers: a lean methane–air flame with Le_eff = 0.99 and a lean hydrogen–air flame with Le_eff = 0.33. Results suggest that curvature does not affect the conditional heat release if the effective Lewis number tends to unity, so that curvature-induced transport may be neglected. Finally, the effect of turbulence on the flame structure is qualitatively analysed using LES-CMC simulations with and without differential diffusion for a turbulent premixed bluff body methane–air flame exhibiting local extinction behaviour. Overall, both the unity and the non-unity computations predict the characteristic M-shaped flame observed experimentally, although some minor differences are identified. The findings suggest that for the high Karlovitz number (from 1 to 10) flame considered, turbulent mixing within the flame weakens the differential transport contribution by reducing the conditional scalar dissipation rate and accordingly the conditional diffusion of the progress variable.     

Clock frequency estimation under spontaneous emission

We investigate the quantum dynamics of a driven two-level system under spontaneous emission and its application in clock frequency estimation. By using the Lindblad equation to describe the system, we analytically obtain its exact solutions, which show three different regimes: Rabi oscillation, damped oscillation, and overdamped decay. From the analytical solutions, we explore how the spontaneous emission affects the clock frequency estimation. We find that under a moderate spontaneous emission rate, the transition frequency can still be inferred from the Rabi oscillation. Our results enable potential practical applications in frequency measurement and quantum control under decoherence.     

Stochastic resonance in underdamped periodic potential systems with alpha stable Lévy noise

In this paper, we investigate the effect of alpha stable Lévy noise with alpha stability index α ($0<\alpha \le 2$) on stochastic resonance (SR) in underdamped periodic potential systems by the non-perturbative expansion moment method and stochastic simulation. Using the spectral amplification factor as a quantifying index, we find that SR can occur in both sinusoidal potentials and ratchet potentials when α is close to 2, while the resonant effect becomes weaker as the stability index decreases. By means of massive numerical statistics, we ascribe this trend to the typical jumps of non-Gaussian Lévy noise ($0<\alpha <2$), which play a destructive role on the periodicity of the long time mean response. We also disclose that the skewness parameter of Lévy noise has a more notable impact on the resonant effect of the asymmetric ratchet potential than that of the symmetric sinusoidal potential because of symmetry breaking.

在群决策中,如何将多个决策者的评价信息综合成整体信息是要研究的重要问题.最简单的方法是基于每个决策者是专业并且客观的假设,给他们的评价赋予相同的权重.但是实际情况要复杂得多,正如孔子所说,真正好的,应该是善者好之,不善者恶之.笔者研究了决策者中存在偏袒因素时的评价综合方法,拓宽了一般权重的约束限制,提出了基于评价之间相关关系的权重设置方法.     

Calculations of molecular multipole electric moments of a series of exo-insaturated four-membered heterocycles,Y = CCH2CH2X

The influence of ring puckering angle on the multipole moments of sixteen four-membered heterocycles (1-16) was theoretically estimated using MP2 and different DFTs in combination with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. To obtain an accurate evaluation, CCSD/cc-pVDZ level and, the MP2 and PBE1PBE methods in combination with the aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets were performed on the planar geometries of 1-16. In general, the DFT and MP2 approaches provided an identical dependence of the electrical properties with the puckering angle for 1-16. Quantitatively, the quality of the level of theory and basis sets affects significant the predictions of the multipole moments, in particular for the heterocycles containing C=O and C=S bonds. Convergence basis sets within the MP2 and PBE1PBE approximations are reached in the dipole moment calculations when the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set is used, while the quadrupole and octupole moment computations require a larger basis set than aug-cc-pVTZ. On the other hand, the multipole moments showed a strong dependence with the molecular geometry and the nature of the carbon-heteroatom bonds. Specifically, the C-X bond determines the behavior of the μ(?), θ(?) and ?(?) functions, while the C=Y bond plays an important role in the magnitude of the studied properties.     

Multiple carrier frequency offsets and multipath channels estimation for coordinated multi-point FBMC systems

Filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) systems are active candidates for the physical layer of the fifth generation of wireless communication networks (5G). The combination of FBMC system with the coordinated multipoint (CoMP) has been proposed to improve the performance of mobile terminals (MT) located at the cell edge. Accurate estimation of carrier frequency offset (CFO) and channel has great importance in communication systems. In this paper, a data-aided joint maximum likelihood (ML) CFO and channel estimation is proposed for the downlink of CoMP. Notably choosing the proper training sequences from Hadamard matrix for different base stations (BSs) reduces the complexity of estimator. Additionally joint CFO correction and channel equalization has been studied at the MT. Finally, we evaluate the efficacy of the presented algorithms using simulation.
