On the boundary-layer control through momentum injection: Studies with applications

The concept of moving surface boundary-layer control, as applied to a Joukowsky airfoil, is investigated through a planned experimental programme complemented by numerical studies. The moving surface was provided by rotating cylinders located at the leading edge and/or trailing edge as well as top surface of the airfoil. Results suggest that the concept is quite promising, leading to a substantial increase in lift and a delay in stall. Depending on the performance desired, appropriate combinations of cylinder geometry, location and speed can be selected to obtain favourable results over a wide range of angle of attack. Next, effectiveness of the concept in reducing drag of bluff bodies such as a two-dimensional flat plate at large angles of attack, rectangular prisms and three-dimensional models of trucks is assessed through an extensive wind tunnel test-programme. Results show that injection of momentum through moving surfaces, achieved here by introduction of bearing-mounted, motordriven, hollow cylinders, can significantly delay separation of the boundary-layer and reduce the pressure drag. The momentum injection procedure also proved effective in arresting wind-induced vortex resonance and galloping type of instabilities. A flow visualization study, conducted in a closed-circuit water tunnel using slit lighting and polyvinyl choride tracer particles, adds to the wind-tunnel and numerical investigations. It shows, rather dramatically, the effectiveness of the moving surface boundary-layer control (MSBC).

f—x域内提高地震资料的信噪比

在 f-x 域,地震记录可以表示成有限个调频调幅正弦波的叠合,叠合的结果是一个连续且光滑的函数。我们可以用一个简单的 n 次多项式去逼近这个函数。本文提出了一种在 f-x 域用最小平方拟合原理消除随机噪声的新方法,并证明了在噪声为自噪以及空间采样足够密的条件下,拟合结果与噪声无关,即 f-x 域最小平方拟合处理可以有效地消除记录上的随机白噪,而对有效信号的破坏甚微。由于理论上允许振幅值及同相轴形态在空间上发生变化,因而该方法不具有混波作用,是高分辨率处理的理想工具。     

Power Dissipation in Spintronic Devices Out of Thermodynamic Equilibrium

Quantum limits of power dissipation in spintronic computing are estimated. A computing element composed of a single electron in a quantum dot is considered. Dynamics of its spin due to external magnetic field and interaction with adjacent dots are described via the Bloch equations. Spin relaxation due to magnetic noise from various sources is described as coupling to a reservoir. Resulting dissipation of energy is calculated and is shown to be much less than the thermal limit, ∼kT per bit, if the rate of spin relaxation is much slower than the switching rate. Clues on how to engineer an energy efficient spintronic device are provided.     

利用独立分量分析法去除地震噪声

 独立分量分析（ICA）作为盲源分离（BSS）的一种新方法,是分解观测数据中独立信息的有力工具。以往的ICA算法一般假设噪声可以忽略不计，而实际的观测数据中又常常包含一些加性噪声。对于加性噪声的影响不能忽略的情况下，改进的ICA算法首先利用非零时间滞后协方差，应用两步特征值分解法(EVD)可成功地去除部分加性噪声的影响；再利用ICA算法就能更好地分离出原信号。本文通过对地震理论模型和实际资料的试验，说明改进的ICA算法能够有效地克服加性噪声对常规ICA算法的影响，能够分离出地震资料中的有效信号，从而实现利用独立分量分析压制地震资料噪声的目的。     

CO2 abatement by co-firing of natural gas and biomass-derived gas in a gas turbine

In this work, a possible way for partial CO₂ emissions reduction from gas turbine exhausts by co-firing with biomass is investigated. The basic principle is the recirculation of a fraction of the exhausts (still rich in oxygen) to a gasifier, in order to produce syngas to mix with natural gas fuel. As biomass is a CO₂ neutral fuel, the fraction of replaced natural gas is a measure of CO₂ removal potential of the powerplant.

铝电解槽磁流体稳定性有限元分析

本文采用有限元法求解分层磁流体小扰动方程系统特征值，研究铝电解槽稳定性。研究结果表明，在没有电磁力时，铝液表面波动（内波）是稳定的。存在电磁力时，它会激发铝液表面波动的某些低频长波分量不稳定性，高频短波不受影响。被激发的不稳定波动频率和扰动增长率与电流密度，磁感应强度垂直分量，铝电解槽长宽比，电解质和铝液的密度差，厚度等因素密切相关。减少电流密度，磁感应强度，增加电极距离和铝液厚度可以提高铝电解槽的稳定性。这对铝电解槽优化设计和在线控制有重要意义。
