Automated classification of simulated wind field patterns from multiphysics ensemble forecasts

In this study, we have proposed an automated classification approach to identify meaningful patterns in wind field data. Utilizing an extensive simulated wind database, we have demonstrated that the proposed approach can identify low‐level jets, near‐uniform profiles, and other patterns in a reliable manner. We have studied the dependence of these wind profile patterns on locations (eg, offshore vs onshore), seasons, and diurnal cycles. Furthermore, we have found that the probability distributions of some of the patterns depend on the underlying planetary boundary layer schemes in a significant way. The future potential of the proposed approach in wind resource assessment and, more generally, in mesoscale model parameterization improvement is touched upon in this paper.

Planetary exploration by robotic aerovehicles

Planetary aerobots are a new type of telerobotic science platform that can fly and navigate in a dynamic 3-dimensional atmospheric environment, thus enabling the global in situ exploration of planetary atmospheres and surfaces. Aerobots are enabled by a new concept in planetary balloon altitude control, developed at JPL, which employs reversible-fluid changes to permit repeated excursions in altitude. The essential physics and thermodynamics ofreversible-fluid altitude control have been demonstrated in a series of altitude-control experiments conducted in the Earth's atmosphere, which are described. Aerobot altitude-control technology will be important in the exploration of seven planets and satellites in our solar system. Three of these objects—Venus, Mars, and the Saturnian satellite Titan—have accessible solid surfaces and atmospheres dominated by the dense gases nitrogen or carbon dioxide. They will be explored with aerobots using helium or hydrogen as their primary means of buoyancy. The other four planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—have deep atmospheres that are predominantly hydrogen. It may be possible to explore these atmospheres with aerobots inflated with atmospheric gas that is then radiatively heated from the hotter gaseous depths below. To fulfill their potential, aerobots to explore the planets will need autonomous state estimators to guide their observations and provide information to the altitude-control systems. The techniques of acquiring these data remotely are outlined. Aerobots will also use on board altitude control and navigation systems to execute complex flight paths including descent to the surface and exploiting differential wind velocities to access different latitude belts. Approaches to control of these systems are examined. The application of aerobots to Venus exploration is explored in some detail: The most ambitious mission described, the Venus Flyer Robot (VFR), would have the capability to make repeated short excursions to the high-temperature surface environment of Venus to acquire data and then return to the Earth-like upper atmosphere to communicate and recool its electronic systems. Finally a Planetary Aerobot Testbed is discussed which will conduct Earth atmospheric flights to validate autonomous-state-estimator techniques and flight-path-control techniques needed for future planetary missions.     

A refined evaluation of the gas-phase water-dimerization equilibrium constant within non-rigid BJH- and MCY-type potentials

The flexible BJH- and flexible or semiflexible MCY-type water-water potentials (4 potential modifications in each nonrigid family, i.e., altogether 12 potentials) are used for evaluation of the gas-phase water-dimerization equilibrium constants. The potential-energy term is adjusted for best reproduction of the available experimental equilibrium constants. An independent test using the experimental steam second-virial coefficient isotopic difference shows that the adjustment also improves the computational evaluation of the difference. A set of dimerization equilibrium constants is suggested over a wide temperature interval (based on the BJH/G, MCY-B, or MCYB potential modifications). The best reproduction of the experimental equilibrium constants (in conjunction with good performance for the second-virial isotopic difference) is produced by the BJH/G potential. The results are applicable to various problems such as the formation of water clusters in large-scale natural and artificial water jets (e.g., hydrogen-oxygen rocket motors, orbital capsule water dumps, water ejection from a comet nucleus) or in atmospheric chemistry.

A helical drive in-pipe robot based on compound planetary gearing

The modern society is fuelled by very comprehensive grids of gas and liquid pipelines. In recent years, various in-pipe robots have been developed for inspection and maintenance tasks inside such pipes. In this paper, a novel in-pipe robot is proposed and developed for gas/oil well interventions at thousands of meters downhole. Due to the nature of such intervention, in-pipe robot design must be capable of carrying a very large payload, as large as 2500?N inside a pipe with diameter as small as 54?mm. The proposed design concept is based on a compound planetary gearing system. One of the major novelties of this design is the use of pipe wall as a ring gear for one stage of the compound planetary gear system; the other novelty is the generation of helical angle when the planetary gears are expanded to press on the pipe wall. The proposed concept is compact, efficient, and has never been reported before. In this paper, the helical angle, the velocity, and load capability of the proposed system will be analyzed. The load transportation capability of the proposed robot is also measured based on an experiment. Initial data have shown great potential in carrying large payloads.

撞击构造的特征及对贵州息烽县环形构造的成因解释

对行星的撞击构造特征进行了总结。地球上的撞击构造,一般通过地貌以及冲击变质产生的岩石和矿物来确认。对贵州省息烽县境内的疑似撞击构造的环形构造进行了比较研究,通过对已有地质资料的详细调研、实地仔细的勘测和采样以及对样品的岩相学分析,并未观察到冲击变质特征,因此认为此处环形构造并非撞击成因,而是古老的盆状向斜经历了多期的构造作用形成的涡旋构造。
