Interfacial instability of ferrofluid flow under the influence of a vacuum magnetic field

This study is to numerically test the interfacial instability of ferrofluid flow under the presence of a vacuum magnetic field. The ferrofluid parabolized stability equations(PSEs) are derived from the ferrofluid stability equations and the Rosensweig equations, and the characteristic values of the ferrofluid PSEs are given to describe the ellipticity of ferrofluid flow. Three numerical models representing specific cases considering with/without a vacuum magnetic field or viscosity are created to mathematically examine the interfacial instability by the computation of characteristic values. Numerical investigation shows strong dependence of the basic characteristic of ferrofluid Rayleigh-Taylor instability(RTI) on viscosity of ferrofluid and independence of the vacuum magnetic field.For the shock wave striking helium bubble, the magnetic field is not able to trigger the symmetry breaking of bubble but change the speed of the bubble movement. In the process of droplet formation from a submerged orifice, the collision between the droplet and the liquid surface causes symmetry breaking. Both the viscosity and the magnetic field exacerbate symmetry breaking. The computational results agree with the published experimental results.

改进遗传算法及其在钻井液设计中的运用

在深井、超深井以及地层复杂等条件下，为了避免或减少钻井事故的发生，达到优质快速钻井的目的，选择合适的钻井液体系至关重要。基于案例推理（CBR，Case-Based Reasoning）的钻井液设计中，钻井液体系由岩性、井型和井深等属性推理得出，但属性权重的分配会对推理结果产生显著的影响；遗传算法在优化属性权重时，存在收敛速度慢、收敛精度低的缺点。针对上述问题，提出一种解决CBR中属性权重分配问题的改进遗传算法。首先，对遗传算子进行改进：选择算子方面，利用指数尺度变换法优化个体选择；交叉算子方面，对算术交叉中的比例因子进行自适应调整；变异算子方面，改进个体变异方向，保持种群多样性。其次，从个体适应度和交叉个体的差异程度两方面实现交叉概率自适应调整。最后，通过对UCI数据集的对比实验，证明了改进后的遗传算法能改善全局收敛性能，提高CBR的准确率。将该算法运用到基于CBR的钻井液设计中，实验结果表明，所提方法能够优化属性权重的分配，进而提高钻井液设计的质量。     

Space-Confined Atomic Clusters Catalyze Superassembly of Silicon Nanodots within Carbon Frameworks for Use in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Incorporating nanoscale Si into a carbon matrix with high dispersity is desirable for the preparation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) but remains challenging. A space-confined catalytic strategy is proposed for direct superassembly of Si nanodots within a carbon (Si NDs⊂C) framework by copyrolysis of triphenyltin hydride (TPT) and diphenylsilane (DPS), where Sn atomic clusters created from TPT pyrolysis serve as the catalyst for DPS pyrolysis and Si catalytic growth. The use of Sn atomic cluster catalysts alters the reaction pathway to avoid SiC generation and enable formation of Si NDs with reduced dimensions. A typical Si NDs⊂C framework demonstrates a remarkable comprehensive performance comparable to other Si-based high-performance half LIBs, and higher energy densities compared to commercial full LIBs, as a consequence of the high dispersity of Si NDs with low lithiation stress. Supported by mechanic simulations, this study paves the way for construction of Si/C composites suitable for applications in future energy technologies.     

钩形弯交叉口信号协同控制优化方法研究

针对车辆在钩形弯交叉口与相邻常规交叉口间的整体运行特性，建立了各条车道的车辆平均延误计算模型。以各交叉口的周期时长和相位绿灯时间为约束，钩形弯交叉口与相邻常规交叉口间的车辆平均延误最小为目标，建立了信号协同配时方案。以位于苏州市高新区内有轨电车沿线的两个相邻交叉口为例，采用实际数据验证所建立的方法，并设置钩形弯渠化方案。将设置的钩形弯交叉口与其相邻常规交叉口的信号协同作为改进方法，在VISSIM软件中对比分析改进方案与现状方案的车辆延误指标。实验结果表明，钩形弯交叉口与相邻常规交叉口的信号协同优化方法可有效提高交叉口的通行能力，尤其是干道直行机动车的通行能力，可降低车辆的平均延误。
