Abstract This study explores the mechanism behind the generation of pressure pulses on the outer surface of a molten metal droplet when immersed in water. The absence of any external trigger is assumed, and the droplet is surrounded by a vapor layer with surface hydrodynamic waves at the vapor-liquid interface. The study examines the heating conditions of a cylindrical column of water used to model a volume of cold liquid interacting with a hot metal surface, which explosively boils upon direct contact. Within the framework of classical homogeneous nucleation theory, the relationship between pressure pulse magnitude… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of urban road traffic and the increasing number of vehicles, how to alleviate traffic congestion is one of the hot issues that need to be urgently addressed in building smart cities. Therefore, in this paper, a nonlinear multi-objective optimization model of urban intersection signal timing based on a Genetic Algorithm was constructed. Specifically, a typical urban intersection was selected as the research object, and drivers’ acceleration habits were taken into account. What’s more, the shortest average delay time, the least average number of stops, and the maximum capacity of the intersection… More >
