Size and expansion ratio effects on the flowfield are investigated for micro converging-diverging nozzles. Numerical computations are conducted by using two dimensional augmented Burnett equations and Navier-Stokes equations that were derived from the Boltzmann equation. The Maxwell-Smoluchowski slip boundary condition is used for adiabatic walls, and Steger-Warming flux vector splitting scheme is applied to the convective inviscid flux terms. The results from the augmented Burnett equation are compared with Navier-Stokes and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) results. Then, nozzle-size analysis is conducted for between 2 µm and 100 µm throat width. Influence of the Knudsen number is investigated, and temperature and Mach number variations are presented. In addition, the influence of the expansion ratio is studied with three (1.7:1, 3.4:1, and 6.8:1) different configurations. The results are compared with each other and an experimental data in the literature. 相似文献
Rock matrix stimulation is a method of enhancing well production or injection within a broad range of challenging environments, varying from naturally fractured limestones to sandstones with complex mineralogy. A common and often successful stimulation option, matrix acidizing, utilizes acids that react and remove mineral phases restricting fluid flow. Reviewed is the technology of chemical treatments available for oil, gas and geothermal wells and the key elements and results of the chemical reservoir stimulation program at the Soultz-sous-Forêts, France, Enhanced Geothermal System Project. 相似文献
Scholars assert that traditional approaches to urban water management need reforming. These debates have identified the need to move toward systems and complexity thinking. The literature offers limited insight into the utility of complexity theory in enhancing urban water policy and practice. This paper aims to address this gap by: (i) synthesizing the intellectual history of complexity science, (ii) identifying key principles of complexity theory and (iii) providing insights into how complexity theory can contribute to twenty-first century urban water management. We reveal how Newtonian logic is deeply embedded in contemporary Western urban water policy and practice. We identify three insights from complexity science that could potentially yield better urban water policy and practice outcomes: system boundaries; agents and networks; and far from equilibrium. These theoretical insights offer an important contribution to scholarly debates as embedded normative frameworks need to be recognized, understood and addressed before transformative change can materialize. 相似文献
Abstract Floods, droughts, water scarcity, and water contamination are some among many water problems that are present today and will be even more noticeable in the future. In the past, many different tools have been used for simulation and optimization of complex water resources systems in order to provide an improved basis for decision making. The continuing evolution of information technology (hardware and software) creates a good environment for the transition to new tools. Application of the systems approach to water resources planning, management, and operations has been established as one of the most important advances made in the field of water resources engineering. Based on the lessons learned, this contribution provides my personal view on the tools to be used in the future. Two paradigm shifts are discussed. The first one is focusing on the complexity of the water resources domain and the complexity of the modelling tools in an environment characterised by continuous rapid technological development. The second one deals with water-related data availability and natural variability of domain variables in time and space affecting the uncertainty of water resources decision making. 相似文献
Microbiological stability in water mains has become an increasing problem for waterworks where more and more surface water is used for distribution requirements. Even when surface water is treated, appropriately, it usually contains a higher amount of organic compounds than does groundwater, and during certain periods, can attain temperatures between 20 and 25°C. Furthermore, ozonization applied during treatment modifies structures of the dissolved organic materials.
Twenty bacterial strains capable of aftergrowth were isolated starting from ozonized surface water, from water of subterranean origin, and from a mixture of these two types of water. Six typical strains were used to determine the importance of the temperature factor on aftergrowth in five types of waters of different characteristics.
Three criteria for the evaluation of aftergrowth are: the growth rate factor (r2), the growth yield (maximum number of germs/mL when growth stops), and the latency time (in hours). The results, in triplicate, obtained from growth curves then were submitted to an analysis of variance by two cross classifications.
It was established that aftergrowth is related to the classical Pseudomonas and Azobacter families, but also to the species of Bacillus, Corynebacter, Micrococcus, Vibrionaceae, and even Enterobacter. Furthermore, it has been proven that the temperature factor is most important in all aspects, as an increase in water temperature enhances all growth characteristics: shortening of the lag-phase; increase in growth-rate factor; and yield.
Under practical conditions, the significant growth delay is very important. With Pseudomonas putida, the lag-phase is on the order of three days at +7.5°C and 10 hours at +17°C. 相似文献
Cyber‐Physical Systems (CPSs) are vulnerable to malicious network attacks due to tight combination of cyber‐system and physical system through a more open network communication. In this paper, a guaranteed cost control problem for a CPS under DoS jamming attacks is solved via both state feedback and output feedback methods. Specifically, an energy constraint DoS jammer with clear periodic attack strategy is proposed to attack wireless channel and to degrade the system performance. Without knowing the DoS jammer's attack strategy, a passive attack‐tolerant mechanism is established, and the corresponding state feedback and output feedback controllers are designed to achieve guaranteed cost control for the CPS with inherent packet dropouts under DoS jamming attacks. Finally, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the guaranteed cost controllers. 相似文献
Spatial analytics systems (SASs) represent a technology capable of managing huge volumes of spatial data using frameworks such as Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. An increasing number of SASs have been proposed, requiring a comparison among them. However, existing comparisons in the literature provide a system-centric view based on performance evaluations. Thus, there is a lack of comparisons based on the user-centric view, that is, comparisons that help users to understand how the characteristics of SASs are useful to meet the specific requirements of their spatial applications. In this article, we provide a user-centric comparison of the following SASs based on Hadoop and Spark: Hadoop-GIS, SpatialHadoop, SpatialSpark, GeoSpark, GeoMesa Spark, SIMBA, LocationSpark, STARK, Magellan, SparkGIS, and Elcano. This comparison employs an extensive set of criteria related to the general characteristics of these systems, to the aspects of spatial data handling, and to the aspects inherent to distributed systems. Based on this comparison, we introduce guidelines to help users to choose an appropriate SAS. We also describe two case studies based on real-world applications to illustrate the use of these guidelines. Finally, we discuss chronological tendencies related to SASs and identify limitations that SASs should address to improve user experience. 相似文献
