Fluid Flow-Induced Nonlinear Vibration of Suspended Cables

The nonlinear interaction of the first two in-plane modes of a suspended cable with a moving fluid along the plane of the cable is studied. The governing equations of motion for two-mode interaction are derived on the basis of a general continuum model. The interaction causes the modal differential equations of the cable to be non-self-adjoint. As the flow speed increases above a certain critical value, the cable experiences oscillatory motion similar to the flutter of aeroelastic structures. A co-ordinate transformation in terms of the transverse and stretching motions of the cable is introduced to reduce the two nonlinearly coupled differential equations into a linear ordinary differential equation governing the stretching motion, and a strongly nonlinear differential equation for the transverse motion. For small values of the gravity-to-stiffness ratio the dynamics of the cable is examined using a two-time-scale approach. Numerical integration of the modal equations shows that the cable experiences stretching oscillations only when the flow speed exceeds a certain level. Above this level both stretching and transverse motions take place. The influences of system parameters such as gravity-to-stiffness ratio and density ratio on the response characteristics are also reported.     

有旋湍流场中湍流模型应用的研究

本文通过对三种双时间尺度湍流模型的理论分析，选择出最合理的模型，并在其基础上引入非线性Reynolds应力─应变关系式及梯度Richardson数修正，对有旋湍流场进行计算，其结果表明，双时间尺度模型能较好地预测出复杂湍流场中平均物理量的分布，尤其对回流区大小和强度的预测较常规k-ε模型结果有很大改进。因此，本文将双时间尺度模型应用于旋流燃烧器中气体颗粒两相流动的计算。     

Near-optimal mean–variance controls under two-time-scale formulations and applications

Although the mean–variance control was initially formulated for financial portfolio management problems in which one wants to maximize the expected return and control the risk, our motivations stem from highway vehicle platoon controls that aim to maximize highway utility while ensuring zero accident. This paper develops near-optimal mean–variance controls of switching diffusion systems. To reduce the computational complexity, with motivations from earlier work on singularly perturbed Markovian systems [Sethi and Zhang, Hierarchical Decision Making in Stochastic Manufacturing Systems, Birkhäuser, Boston, MA, 1994; Yin and Zhang, Continuous-Time Markov Chains and Applications: A Singular Pertubation Approach, Springer-Verlag, New York, 1998 and Yin et al., Ann. Appl. Probab. 10 (2000), pp. 549–572], we use a two-time-scale formulation to treat the underlying system, which is represented by the use of a small parameter. As the small parameter goes to 0, we obtain a limit problem. Using the limit problem as a guide, we construct controls for the original problem, and show that the control so constructed is nearly optimal.
