Hybrid field network simulation of temperature in a building fire

A connecting platform between the field model and network model has been constructed, based on a multi functional building model. The field model is used to simulate the fire smoke in certain special compartments (the fire room and specific large space rooms), while the network model is used to simulate the uniform compartments. When combining the simulation results of the field model and network model as the interface boundary conditions for the each other, a hybrid field and network model is presented. The hybrid field network model can provide more detailed physical information of the fire smoke properties under a specific fire scenario for the specially confined compartments. In addition, the hybrid model can predict the fire smoke flow properties in the building accurately.     

Simulation and analysis of all terrain vehicle ride comfort

A multi rigid body dynamic model of an all terrain vehicle (ATV) is established in MSC.ADAMS. The model takes into consideration the body, suspension, frame and the steering system. According to the method of superposition of harmonic wave, a Grade B road file is created in ADAMS for the riding comfort test. The engine excitation is analyzed. The infliction for engine excitation to ADAMS is achieved. The ATV ride comfort simulation is carried out with the excitation of the engine, and the seat vibration is evaluated using an evaluation method programmed via MATLAB. It has laid a good foundation for further analysis.     

Performance analysis and comparison of IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function and improved schemes

To improve the media access control mechanism and enhance the performance of large scale wireless LANs, the distributed coordination function of IEEE802.11 standard and two typical improved schemes are studied extensively. Compared with the distributed coordination function, the fast collision resolution mechanism greatly enhances the throughput, but deteriorates the delay jitter and fairness of wireless LANs. The new self adaptive distributed coordination function markedly improves the delay jitter and fairness performance, while enhancing the throughput of wireless LANs to a certain degree. Hence, with further improvement, the new self adaptive distributed coordination function is more suitable for large scale wireless LANs for multimedia information transmission.     

Analysis of the Kinetic Theory of Submerged Abrasive Water Jets

Abrasive water jets can incise objects with strong rigidity under water. The analytical means of kinetic theory is optimal for theoretical problems of submerged abrasive water jets. The flow characteristics in submerged abrasive water jets were analyzed based on kinetic theory for multiphase flows. The impact characteristics of every phase in submerged abrasive water jets was analyzed and continuity and momentum equations subsequently were developed for solid, gas and liquids in submerged abrasive water jets. It is shown that if the distributing function of every phase were given, the law of its movement could be ascertained.     

Numeric Analysis of the Dynamic Performance of a Prestressed Concrete Beam

The finite element of a prestressed concrete (PSC) beam is analyzed in a case of diverse prestressing forces. The mechanical model applied is that advanced by Clough for a concrete beam bearing axial force. The results indicate that the beam frequencies decrease with increasing prestressing force. A dynamic experiment of a non bonded PSC beam was carried out to validate the veracity of the finite element analysis. Test beam frequencies increase with increasing prestressing force. The analysis model thus is unfit for frequency analysis of a PSC beam. The determinant factor of frequencies is analyzed, and the dynamic model is modified according to experimental results. The modified model analysis result shows that: the calculated frequencies of mode 1 agree with the test results well; the frequencies of mode 2 posses some errors; and, the modified model can reflect the direction of frequency change along with the change of prestressing force well.     

Deformation Properties of Backfill Grouting in Shield Tunnel

Utilizing the self made unit body model test apparatus, the deformation laws of backfill grouting were studied under different grouting pressures, different soil conditions and different ground water pressures. It was shown that high grout pressures can accelerate the consolidation rate of grout drainage and increase final deformation amount. And soil permeability coefficient was an important factor to grout deformation. The ground water pressure was more important for sand soil while the grout pressure was for clay soil. The proposed apparatus can truly reflect stress status of grout injected to tail void. And grout deformation properties were helpful to clarify the stratum stress release and stratum deformation of backfill grouting.      

Stability of a nonlinear red tide dynamic model in a polluted environment

We develop a nonlinear red tide dynamic model to study the effect on a system of two harmful phytoplankton and zooplankton and of a toxicant emitted into the environment from external sources and a toxin excreted by phytoplankton. We use modern nonlinear dynamics to discuss stability and bifurcation, and obtain the thresholds of persistence and extinction for each species. Numerical simulations are used to validate the theoretical results. The results show that a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occur at the interior equilibrium as the delay increases or the growth rates increase.     

Simulation of dissolved nitrogen pollution in Xiaojiang river basin of Three Gorges reservoir

Xiao Jiang River is the largest tributary on the north of the middle part in Three Gorges reservoir area, because of predominant hilly cropland with purple soil, the dissolved nitrogen from surface and subsurface runoff caused by raining accounts for most part of the nitrogen pollution in water. This paper develops the annual pollution models based on the characteristics of topography and soil, etc., of the basin in order to study dissolved nitrogen pollution, and introduces a Semi distributed Land Use based Runoff Processes (SLURP) hydrological model into the surface and subsurface runoff simulation which is an important part of non point source pollution modeling. Integrated with the geography information system technology, the annual temporal spatial distribution of the dissolved nitrogen in the basin is simulated and the load at the watershed outlet is estimated from 2000 to 2007. The results show that the load from cropland is up to 68.3~76.8of the total load, in which over 85 from croplands and then rural settlement is 23.2~31.7.     

Pollution characteristics of mercury in incineration fly ash of municipal solid waste in Three Gorges region

This study investigates the mercury distribution characteristics at different particle sizes, leaching characteristics with different impact factor such as the different time, the different ratio of liquid to solid and the different acidity, leaching toxicity and speciation of mercury in Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MWSI) fly ash in Three Gorges area. The results show that the average content of mercury in the fly ash is 8.52 mg·kg1. The content of mercury in the fly ash is higher at the particle size of 100 μm, and which increases with the decreas of the ash particle size. Mercury leaching content closely relates to environmental conditions. The leaching content of mercury increases with the increase of pH and L/S, while it decreases with the leaching time. The content of mercury at oxidable form and the residue form are high, and whith at exchangeable form and reducible form is relatively low.
