Abstract When the amphibious vehicle navigates in water, the angle of the anti-wave plate and the position of the center of gravity greatly influence the navigation characteristics. In the relevant research on reducing the navigation resistance of amphibious vehicles by adjusting the angle of the anti-wave plate, there is a lack of scientific selection of parameters and reasonable research of simulation results by using mathematical methods, and the influence of the center of gravity position on navigation characteristics is not considered at the same time. To study the influence of the combinations of the angle of the anti-wave plate and the… More >

Abstract Acoustic wave propagation through an inhomogeneous medium may lead to undergo substantial modification. This paper proposed a Green’s functions-based method for the simulation of wave propagation through inhomogeneous medium waveguides. Under ideal conditions, a modified wave equation is derived by variable transformations, in which only the wave speed varies with spatial coordinates. Based on the modified wave equation the acoustic Green’s functions are derived. Then, the localized method of fundamental solution (LMFS) in conjunction with the acoustic Green’s functions is introduced to solve the modified wave equation. In the LMFS, the acoustic Green’s function is considered as its basic function… More >

Abstract In this study, we focus on the numerical modelling of the interaction between waves and submerged structures in the presence of a uniform flow current. Both the same and opposite senses of wave propagation are considered. The main objective is an understanding of the effect of the current and various geometrical parameters on the reflection coefficient. The wave used in the study is based on potential theory, and the submerged structures consist of two rectangular breakwaters positioned at a fixed distance from each other and attached to the bottom of a wave flume. The numerical modeling approach employed in this… More >

Abstract Fish schools are capable of simultaneous linear acceleration. To reveal the underlying hydrodynamic mechanism, we numerically investigate how Reynolds number Re = 1000−2000, Strouhal number St = 0.2−0.7 and wavelength λ = 0.5−2 affects the mean net thrust of two side-by-side NACA0012 hydrofoils undulating in anti-phase. In total, 550 cases are simulated using immersed boundary method. The thrust is strengthened by wavelength and Strouhal number, yet only slightly by the Reynolds number. We apply the symbolic regression algorithm to formulate this relationship as a high-level summary. More >

Abstract The flapping foils with appropriate locomotion inspired by the high-aspect-ratio appendages from natural animals promise a new technical solution for the propulsion of both aircrafts and marine vehicles. The artificial devices using such a novel thrust system are possibly placed in a stratified flow due to the fact that the stratification is ubiquitous throughout real-world environment. Based on a series of two-dimensional numerical simulations, the propulsive performance and wake structure of a fully-activated flapping foil in a density stratified fluid are investigated in this work. It is found that the hydrodynamic characteristics of flapping foils in the stratified flow show… More >

Abstract In this study, a wavelet multi-resolution interpolation Galerkin method (WMIGM) is proposed to solve linear singularly perturbed boundary value problems. Unlike conventional wavelet schemes, the proposed algorithm can be readily extended to special node generation techniques, such as the Shishkin node. Such a wavelet method allows a high degree of local refinement of the nodal distribution to efficiently capture localized steep gradients. All the shape functions possess the Kronecker delta property, making the imposition of boundary conditions as easy as that in the finite element method. Four numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the proposed… More >

Abstract The distribution network exhibits complex structural characteristics, which makes fault localization a challenging task. Especially when a branch of the multi-branch distribution network fails, the traditional multi-branch fault location algorithm makes it difficult to meet the demands of high-precision fault localization in the multi-branch distribution network system. In this paper, the multi-branch mainline is decomposed into single branch lines, transforming the complex multi-branch fault location problem into a double-ended fault location problem. Based on the different transmission characteristics of the fault-traveling wave in fault lines and non-fault lines, the endpoint reference time difference matrix S and the fault time difference… More >

Abstract The use of high power microwaves to perform explosive spalling of surface concrete is a promising technique with applications in the area of concrete facilities decommissioning. The mechanism that creates explosive spalling is an interactive process of the thermal stress from high temperature gradients and the pore pressure generated from the water vaporization. In order to better predict the total stress distribution, the temperature has to be calculated by including the effect of water vaporization and water transport through a porous medium. In this paper, a one dimensional model solving the heat and diffusion equation for liquid and vapor phase… More >

Abstract The hardness of the integer factoring problem (IFP) plays a core role in the security of RSA-like cryptosystems that are widely used today. Besides Shor’s quantum algorithm that can solve IFP within polynomial time, quantum annealing algorithms (QAA) also manifest certain advantages in factoring integers. In experimental aspects, the reported integers that were successfully factored by using the D-wave QAA platform are much larger than those being factored by using Shor-like quantum algorithms. In this paper, we report some interesting observations about the effects of QAA for solving IFP. More specifically, we introduce a metric, called T-factor that measures the… More >

Abstract A compact 10 kW microwave applicator operating at 2.45 GHz for fast volumetric heating and thermal cracking of lignite briquettes has been successfully designed and tested. In this paper, the applicator design and construction are presented together with a sequentially coupled electromagnetic, thermal-fluid and mechanical Comsol model. In a first step, this model allows us to calculate the power density inside the lignite material and the temperature distribution in the applicator for different water flow rates. In a second step, the total stress due to the thermal dilatation, the internal pressure inside the ceramic and the contact pressure from the… More >
