River Bifurcation Analysis by Physical and Numerical Modeling

In the framework of a river regulation design of the Po River Delta (Northern Italy), a study on a large physical model of the bifurcation Po di Goro-Po di Venezia was conducted with the main objective of determining the discharge subdivision rate at the river node, in order to assess the inflow conditions in the Po di Goro River for flood risk analysis. In this context, a two-dimensional depth averaged numerical model was tested against measured values, with reference to the prototype. In this paper a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the results is reported in order to highlight the applicability of numerical models in comparison with physical ones in river engineering applications.     

LARGE EDDY SIMULATION OF VERTICAL JET IMPINGEMENT WITH A FREE SURFACE

1. INTRODUCTION When wastewater is discharged into rivers, lakes or oceans, it usually leads to the formulation of turbulent jet with a free surface. If the ambient water depth is shallow, the jet will impinge on the water surface and the confinement of f…

Optimal and self‐tuning fusion Kalman filters for discrete‐time stochastic singular systems

Based on the optimal fusion estimation algorithm weighted by scalars in the linear minimum variance sense, a distributed optimal fusion Kalman filter weighted by scalars is presented for discrete‐time stochastic singular systems with multiple sensors and correlated noises. A cross‐covariance matrix of filtering errors between any two sensors is derived. When the noise statistical information is unknown, a distributed identification approach is presented based on correlation functions and the weighted average method. Further, a distributed self‐tuning fusion filter is given, which includes two stage fusions where the first‐stage fusion is used to identify the noise covariance and the second‐stage fusion is used to obtain the fusion state filter. A simulation verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS AND EXPERI- MENT OF UNSTEADY THERMAL FIELD OF ROTOR PLATE FOR EDDY CURRENT RETARDER

The physical model based on heat transfer theory and virtual boundary method for analyzing unsteady thermal field of rotor plate for eddy current retarder used in automobile is established and boundary conditions are also defined. The finite element governing equation is derived by Galerkin method. The time differential item is discrete based on Galerkin format that is stable at any condition. And a new style of varying time step method is used in iteration process. The thermal field on the rotor plate at the radial and axle directions is analyzed and varying temperature at appointed points on two side-surfaces is measured. The testing and analytical data are uniform approximately. Finite element method can be used for estimating thermal field of the rotor plate at initial design stage of eddy current retarder.

A variational method for contour tracking via covariance matching

This paper presents a novel formulation for contour tracking.We model the second-order statistics of image regions and perform covariance matching under the variational level set framework.Specifically,covariance matrix is adopted as a visual object representation for partial differential equation(PDE) based contour tracking.Log-Euclidean calculus is used as a covariance distance metric instead of Euclidean distance which is unsuitable for measuring the similarities between covariance matrices,because the matrices typically lie on a non-Euclidean manifold.A novel image energy functional is formulated by minimizing the distance metric between the candidate object region and a given template,and maximizing the one between the background region and the template.The corresponding gradient flow is then derived according to a variational approach,enabling partial differential equations(PDEs) based contour tracking.Experiments on several challenging sequences prove the validity of the proposed method.     

一种低复杂度的鲁棒自适应波束形成算法

传统基于干扰噪声协方差矩阵（interference-plus-noise covariance matrix,INCM）重构的鲁棒自适应波束形成（robust adaptive beamformer,RAB）算法在多种样本数据协方差矩阵误差和信号导向向量误差的失配环境中具有较强的鲁棒性,但目前主流的INCM重构法都是对信号和干扰的导向向量通过建立凸优化模型来估计,这带来了很高的计算复杂度。为了解决这个问题,提出了一种低复杂度的基于INCM重构的RAB算法。该算法首先将干扰信号的导向向量分解为对应标称项和误差项的和,然后通过一种子空间方法估计得到误差项的单位向量。接下来对一个Capon空间谱功率最大问题进行求解,得到误差项的模值,以此得到重构的INCM。同时利用Capon空间谱中残差噪声的存在,使用交替投影法估计得到期望信号的导向向量,最后得到所提算法的权重向量。仿真实验表明所提算法在多种误差环境下具有较强鲁棒性的同时,还具有较低的计算复杂度。
