Evaluation and optimisation of receiver height in a compound parabolic collector with low acceptance angle

This research presents the method of finding an optimised location of a tubular receiver for a compound parabolic collector (CPC) with 6° acceptance angle. Due to low acceptance angle, reflected rays concentrate below the focus of a parabola. Graphical ray tracing (GRT) approach is implemented to execute the optical analysis with and without manufacturing error in the collector. It is performed on collector–receiver combinations by varying receiver height below the focus and they are compared on the basis of utilised area and projection ratios. The ideal cases of collector–receiver combinations which contribute high utilisation and projection ratio are selected and verified with the camera target method (CTM) performed on the actual set-up. It is built for water heater application to validate the results obtained from GRT and CTM. The thermal performance of CPC at various receiver heights is compared by thermal efficiency and therefore the optimum receiver height is concluded.

Analytical ray tracing system: Introducing art, a C-library designed for seismic applications

Ray tracing technique is an important tool not only to forward but also for inverse problems in Geophysics, which most of the seismic processing steps depend on. However, implementing ray tracing codes can be very time consuming. This article presents a computer library to trace rays in 2.5D media composed by a stack of layers. The velocity profile inside each layer is such that the eikonal equation can be analytically solved. Therefore, the ray tracing within such profile is made fast and accurate. The great advantage of an analytical ray tracing library is the numerical precision of the quantities computed and the fast execution of the implemented codes. Even though ray tracing programs exist for a long time, for example the seis88 package by ?ervený, most of those programs use a numerical approach to compute the ray. Regardless of the fact that numerical methods can solve more general problems, the analytical ones could be part of a more sophisticated simulation process, where the ray tracing time is completely relevant. We demonstrate the feasibility of our codes using several examples (Miqueles et al., 2013)  [1]. The library can also be used for other applications besides seismic, e.g., optics and tomography.     

Scalable Realistic Rendering with Many‐Light Methods

Recent years have seen increasing attention and significant progress in many‐light rendering, a class of methods for efficient computation of global illumination. The many‐light formulation offers a unified mathematical framework for the problem reducing the full lighting transport simulation to the calculation of the direct illumination from many virtual light sources. These methods are unrivaled in their scalability: they are able to produce plausible images in a fraction of a second but also converge to the full solution over time. In this state‐of‐the‐art report, we give an easy‐to‐follow, introductory tutorial of the many‐light theory; provide a comprehensive, unified survey of the topic with a comparison of the main algorithms; discuss limitations regarding materials and light transport phenomena and present a vision to motivate and guide future research. We will cover both the fundamental concepts as well as improvements, extensions and applications of many‐light rendering.     

Ammonia synthesis: The bellwether reaction in heterogeneous catalysis

This is a personal account of the Havreholm Conference with a choice of topics dealing with catalytic ammonia synthesis. Among the general concepts that were retained are: the rate determining step with rates of adsorption and desorption of nitrogen; the direct activated dissociative adsorption of N₂; the surface crystalline anisotropy of iron; the role of promoters in industrial iron based catalysts; and the atomic structure of the metallic surface on the industrial multiply promoted catalyst. Finally, a new isotope jump technique to measure an upper limit to the real turnover frequency is discussed.     

黄河流域气象干旱与水文干旱时空特征及其传递关系EI北大核心CSCD

基于标准化降水蒸散指数(SPEI)和标准化径流指数(SRI),比较了黄河流域气象干旱和水文干旱的时空分布差异,分析了二者时间尺度上的关联性,并选取典型干旱事件进一步探讨了两种干旱类型的传递关系。结果表明:两种干旱类型空间上有相似的趋势和频次,但在黄河源区和黄河中南部(渭河流域)差异显著,其干旱历时均有随年代延长的趋势,水文干旱历时增长尤为明显;在时间尺度上,SPEI与SRI在大部分区域基本一致,但在黄河源区和渭河流域差异较大,尤其是短时间尺度上差异更显著;气象干旱与水文干旱并非一一对应,多场短历时间断气象干旱受时滞效应、异常气象波动等影响,可能引发一场长历时连续水文干旱或多场短历时间断水文干旱,一场长历时连续气象干旱强度衰减可能引发多场短历时间断水文干旱。     

水文监测创新在2016年长江洪水测报中的作用

2016年,长江中下游发生了区域性大洪水。为保证洪水预报的水文资料需求,长江委水文局通过建立的由水文监测管理体系、水文监测服务体系、水文监测技术支撑体系、水文监测质量保障体系等四大部分组成的水文监测体系创新与关键技术,以“巡测优先、驻巡结合、测报自动、应急补充”的新型水文监测模式,大大提升了防洪监测的能力和水平。与往次防洪监测比较,在应对2016年的大洪水的过程中,长江水文测验的新型模式带来了测洪能力、技术水平、准确度、时效性的系统性提升,其中,流量测验时间缩短了73%~83%,水情信息到报率和准确率达到99.95%,远远高于国家标准。     

钢铁材质浮标对ADCP水文监测系统流量测验精度的影响

针对钢铁材质浮标的ADCP水文监测系统内置罗经受船磁力影响,导致流向测验出现偏差的问题,通过2009—2011年徐六泾水文站定线比测大、中潮水文测验的实测资料,分析采用垂直于断面的方位角作为流向(流向不修正)和采用断面各垂线实测平均流向作为流向(流向修正)两种情况下钢铁材质浮标对ADCP水文监测系统流量测验精度和流量、潮量计算的影响。结果表明:无论是否修正流向,计算得到涨落潮流量、潮量以及全潮下泄潮量和走航式ADCP定线比测的实测资料相比,误差均较小,精度都很高;在流量和潮量计算时,可以对钢铁材质浮标ADCP流向不做修正。     

降雨量空间分布对山洪临界雨量的影响

山洪临界雨量是山洪灾害预报预警的重要基础,受降雨、土壤含水量以及下垫面的影响,其中降雨量空间分布是重要的影响因素之一。以湖北省崇阳县高堤河流域为例,采用HEC-HMS分布式水文模型计算设计洪水,试算法计算临界雨量,提出了降雨量空间分布系数,分析了降雨量空间分布系数与临界雨量的关系,探讨了降雨空间分布对临界雨量的影响。结果表明:当降雨从上游到下游逐渐减少时,达到相同成灾流量对应的临界雨量最大,暴雨中心在下游时临界雨量最小,说明降雨量空间分布对临界雨量影响显著。由分析可知,在山洪灾害预警实践中应根据实际的降雨空间分布对预警指标适当修正,对山洪进行动态雨量预警。
