We report a set of direct numerical simulation results on Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni (R-B-M) flow of cold water in the cylindrical pools. The heat transfer between the free surface and the environment is considered. The aspect ratio Г of the cylindrical pool varies from 2 to 8. Rayleigh (Ra) and Biot (Bi) numbers are respectively confined in Ra ≤ 104 and 0 < Bi ≤ 50. The flow onset critical Ra is determined and the influences of Bi and the density inversion parameter (Θm) on the critical Ra are analyzed. The primary bifurcation flow structures of R-B-M flow are shown and the evolution of the flow structures with Ra and Bi at different Θm is observed. Furthermore, the heat transfer ability is estimated by Nusselt number. The results indicate that the critical Ra of the flow onset increases with increasing Bi and Θm. But it decreases with the increase of Г. The primary bifurcation pattern is multicellular flow. With increasing Г, the number of flow cells in multicellular flow increases fast. With increasing Ra, the up-triangular and up-quadrilateral flow structures appear at Г = 4, and finally transits to the up one-torus. With increasing Ra and Г, and decreasing Θm, average Nusselt number increases monotonically. However, with increasing Bi, it first increases, and then decreases.
Triangular meshes of superior quality are important for geometric processing in practical applications. Existing approximative CVT-based remeshing methodology uses planar polygonal facets to fit the original surface, simplifying the computational complexity. However, they usually do not consider surface curvature. Topological errors and outliers can also occur in the close sheet surface remeshing, resulting in wrong meshes. With this regard, we present a novel method named PowerRTF, an extension of the restricted tangent face (RTF) in conjunction with the power diagram, to better approximate the original surface with curvature adaption. The idea is to introduce a weight property to each sample point and compute the power diagram on the tangent face to produce area-controlled polygonal facets. Based on this, we impose the variable-capacity constraint and centroid constraint to the PowerRTF, providing the trade-off between mesh quality and computational efficiency. Moreover, we apply a normal verification-based inverse side point culling method to address the topological errors and outliers in close sheet surface remeshing. Our method independently computes and optimizes the PowerRTF per sample point, which is efficiently implemented in parallel on the GPU. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness, flexibility, and efficiency of our method. 相似文献
Integrating a graphene transparent electrode (TE) matrix with driving circuits is essential for the practical use of graphene in optoelectronics such as active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, however it is disabled by the transport of carriers between graphene pixels after deposition of a semiconductor functional layer caused by the atomic thickness of graphene. Here, the carrier transport regulation of a graphene TE matrix by using an insulating polyethyleneimine (PEIE) layer is reported. The PEIE forms an ultrathin uniform film (≤10 nm) to fill the gap of the graphene matrix, blocking horizontal electron transport between graphene pixels. Meanwhile, it can reduce the work function of graphene, improving the vertical electron injection through electron tunneling. This enables the fabrication of inverted OLED pixels with record high current and power efficiencies of 90.7 cd A−1 and 89.1 lm W−1, respectively. By integrating these inverted OLED pixels with a carbon nanotube-based thin-film transistor (CNT-TFT)-driven circuit, an inch-size flexible active-matrix OLED display is demonstrated, in which all OLED pixels are independently controlled by CNT-TFTs. This research paves a way for the application of graphene-like atomically thin TE pixels in flexible optoelectronics such as displays, smart wearables, and free-form surface lighting. 相似文献
