Dynamics of fluid circulation in coupled free and heterogeneous porous domains

Fluid flow in coupled free and porous domain, particularly when the porous medium is heterogeneous, is encountered in many hydro-environmental conditions, e.g., leakage from underground pipe, combined groundwater lake-subsurface interactions. One of the most difficult problems in the study of coupled flow behaviour has been the development of a universally applicable modelling scheme for combining the flow regimes. This is because the free/porous interfacial properties (e.g., shear-stress; velocity slip) that govern the coupled flow behaviour are difficult to determine experimentally under hydro-environmental conditions. On the other hand, the implications of various forms of heterogeneity in the porous media properties can be very different on the fluid-flow behaviour. Difficulties may also arise in direct coupling of the model equations that govern the fluid flow in the individual regions (e.g., Navier-Stokes for free-flow region and the Darcy's equation for the porous flow region). Consequently, models of coupled free and porous flow for hydro-environmental conditions are not very well developed at the moment. While there are some indications that fluids in coupled free and porous domains may circulate (i.e., development of flow cells), there is a lack of appropriate 3D analysis on how heterogeneities in porous media may affect such flow patterns. In this paper, we aim to analyse how porous media heterogeneity affects the dynamics of flow circulation in the porous side of a coupled free and porous domain. For this purpose, we analyse flow patterns in several model domains made up of two porous layers with differing permeabilities. The governing model equations are discretised and solved using the standard finite volume method on a staggered cell-centred mesh. The temporal discretisation is done using the explicit method. An in-house graphical user interface (GUI) has been created specifically to aid in the visualisation of otherwise complex flow patterns. The GUI contains many post-processing options and provides a comprehensive tool for the analysis of hydrodynamics and contaminant motion (not discussed in this paper) in coupled free and porous flow domains. This GUI is described in this paper briefly. The effects of altering the aspect ratio (i.e., multi-scale) of the domain on the coupled flow pattern have also been discussed.     

Etude electrochimique de differentes ilmenites

The electrochemical behaviour of several natural ilmenites has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. From the analysis of the current-voltage curves it was concluded that the valences of the metal ions in FeTiO₃ are Fe^II and Ti^IV. It was also found that little amounts of Fe^III and excess of Ti^IV (probably TiO₂) can enter into the composition of the ilmenites.

Preparation of Silicon Carbide/Aluminum Nitride Ceramics Using Organometallic Precursors

Solid solutions of 2H -SiC/AlN can be prepared at temperatures less than 1600°C by rapid pyrolysis ("hot drop") of mixtures of [(Me₃Si)_0.80((CH₂=CH)MeSi)_1.0(MeHSi)_0.35] _n (VPS) or [MeHSiCH₂] _n (MPCS) with [R₂AlNH₂]₃, where R=Et, i -Bu or simply by slow pyrolysis of the precursor mixture in the case of [Et₂AlNH₂]₃. In contrast, slow pyrolysis of mixtures of VPS or MPCS with [ i -Bu₂AlNH₂]₃ yields a composite of 2 H -AlN and 3 C -SiC at 1600°C, which transforms into a single 2 H -SiC/AlN solid solution on heating to 2000°C. The influences of the nature of the precursor and processing conditions on the structure, composition, and purity of the SiC/AlN materials are discussed.

利用聚合物自由体积理论模拟了蔗渣浆低浓黑液对粘度对温度的依赖性的数学模型，最终得出黑液多聚物粘度与温度的相关式：η=A1exp[B1/(T-T0)]。利用示差扫描量热分析技术（DSC）得出了蔗渣黑液多聚物中连续相与分散相的转变曲线，并获得了表观温度T0的平均值为255K；通过实验数据拟合可回归出蔗渣黑液多聚物在不同浓度时的系数A1和B1值。因此，使用该粘度的数学模型可估算蔗渣低浓（接近40％固含量）黑液多聚物在操作温度范围内（20－100℃）的粘度值。

Molecular dynamics model structures for the molten globule state of {alpha}-lactalbumin: aromatic residue clusters I and II

To model the molten globule structure of -lactalbumin, moleculardynamics (MD) simulations were carried out for the protein inexplicit water at high temperature. In these simulations, long-rangeCoulomb interactions were evaluated explicitly with an originalmethod (particle–particle and particle–cell: PPPC)to avoid artifacts caused by the cut-off. The MD simulationswere started from two initial conditions to verify that similarresults would be obtained. From the last 150 ps trajectoriesof the two MD simulations, two partially unfolded average structureswere obtained. These structures had the following common structuralfeatures which are characteristic of the molten globule state.The radii of gyration for these conformations were 7.4 and 9.6%larger than that of the native state. These values were almostthe same as the experimental value (9.6%) observed recentlyby small-angle X-ray scattering (Kataoka,M., Kuwajima,K., Tokunaga,F.and Goto,Y., 1997, Protein Sci., 6, 422–430). Furthermore,aromatic residues of clusters I and II in these structures werefar apart from each other except for Try103–Trp104. Thisresult is in good agreement with NMR experimental results forthe acid-denatured molten globule state (Alexandrescu et al.,1992, 1993); that is, NOE signals between the aromatic residueswere not observed, except for that of Try103–Trp104 inthe molten globule state. Other structural features of thesemodels for the molten globule state are discussed with referenceto native state structures.
