Dynamical analysis of net cage structures for marine aquaculture: Numerical simulation and model testing

A numerical model for analyzing dynamic properties of a net-cage system exposed in the open sea is proposed. The model is based on a lumped-mass method. In this model, the mooring lines are divided into linear elements and the net cage divided into several plane surface elements. The interconnected points or corners are called nodes or lumped-mass centers. The external force is calculated on each element and then equally distributed to its nodes. By adding the contributed forces from the neighboring elements, a system of motion equations for nodes is formed. The volume reduction coefficient of a net cage is estimated by the ratio of minimum volume of net cage during fluid and structure interaction to the original volume. In general, the numerical results are in good agreements with the experimental data. However, the results also show that if the Reynolds number is lower than the suggested range of 1400–1800, the numerical model may underestimate the environmental forces on a net-cage system.

仿海豚皮肤结构的功能表面提高离心泵效率

为了提供一种可利用仿生功能表面提高泵类产品效率的方法,该文分别以鲨鱼皮肤及海豚皮肤表面结构为模仿原型,设计了2种仿生功能表面,模仿鲨鱼皮肤结构的功能表面为模型1,仿海豚皮肤结构的功能表面为模型2,并以吉林市奥吉通泵业有限公司生产的200QJ50-26离心式水泵为载体,进行了试验研究。研究结果表明,模型1可提高水泵效率2%~3%,模型2可提高水泵效率5%,且模型2在全流段范围内增效效果显著。利用氢气泡流动显示试验,从流场尾迹再附点及涡距2个方面说明了上述2种模型对流体介质的控制机制。试验结果表明,模型2相比模型1,其尾迹再附点距离降低5 mm,而尾迹涡距距离却增加3 mm。说明模型2的压差阻力得到降低,此外,模型2通过降低涡生成密度及速度的方式降低能量的耗散,其减阻效果更明显。该研究为仿生功能表面在以流体为工作介质的流体机械及在流体介质中运行的交通工具的全面应用提供了参考。     

几种胡敏酸还原容量的表征与比较

还原容量(RC)是衡量胡敏酸(HA)还原特性的重要指标。采用饱和H2振荡法和土壤溶液法对HA分别进行化学和微生物预处理,分别以硝酸铁(Fe(NO3)3)、柠檬酸铁(FeCit)作电子受体,测定了三种HA(上海巨枫SH,天津光复TJ,缙云山JY)的本底还原容量(NRC),化学还原容量(CRC),微生物还原容量(MRC)。对不同电子受体条件下、不同初始状态和不同种类的胡敏酸的RC进行比较。结果表明：三种HA中,以缙云山土壤提取的胡敏酸RC值最高,还原容量最大,分别为20.21?0.26mmolc mol-1C (NRC)、26.02?1.12mmolc mol-1C (CRC)和29.29?1.56mmolc mol-1C (MRC)。两种电子受体中,采用Fe(NO3)3得到的RC明显高于在FeCit条件下。另外,溶液态HA的RC明显高于固态。由此证明胡敏酸还原容量是一个相对量;其容量大小不仅和自身结构、性质有关,也受到HA初始形态和不同电子受体的影响。对比三个还原容量指标发现CRC和MRC显著大于NRC,而CRC和MRC之间无明确大小关系,因此用CRC来表征HA被微生物还原后的还原容量(MRC)还需作进一步验证。     

基于压缩感知的图像降噪处理研究

在农产品图像的动态采集中,可能会出现粘结、叠加及背景干扰等一系列缺陷,同时稀疏采样的图像也可能是不完整的。对于这个棘手的问题,由压缩感知理论可以找到答案。压缩感知理论首先对采集的图像进行稀疏表达,然后选取适合图像的最优小波基,采用凸优化理论及其算法,可以得到花生图像的特征点(降噪点)并进行处理,从而完成噪声的去除。为此,在压缩感知理论的基础上,提出了运用快速迭代阈值收缩(FISTA)算法进行去噪处理,与其他的图像降噪方法相比,体现了速度快、效率高、去噪效果好等优势。     

波纹表面接触土壤颗粒动态响应仿真分析

为揭示波纹表面的降阻机制,以蚯蚓体表为研究对象,应用离散单元法对接触土壤颗粒动态响应进行仿真分析.仿真得出:波纹表面接触的土壤颗粒运动过程微观可分为“分散—团聚—分散”3个阶段,宏观表现为土壤与波纹试样之间形成孔隙;波纹表面接触颗粒的X向位移与试样的前进方向一致,呈线性增加,平均位移为60.33 mm,Y向速度随着波纹表面的凹凸起伏呈正弦变化、产生微震,且大于光滑表面接触颗粒振幅,波纹表面接触颗粒和波纹的接触位置直接决定受力的大小和方向.分析表明:波纹表面接触颗粒的运动幅度和频率大于光滑表面,颗粒产生微震,且波纹表面与土壤间存在孔隙,从而使得接触面积减小、阻力降低.     

黄河中游水利水保措施减沙效益分析中几个值得注意的问题

河流输沙量的变化受流域降水和下垫面影响很大。采用水文法分析水利水保措施减沙效益时应注意如下问题:降雨量是最重要的基础资料,要认真分析工程实施前后雨量站的分布、代表性及前后期降雨量的可比性;暴雨对产沙的影响很大,暴雨强度是决定产沙量多少的重要参数,选用有效降雨量、有效降雨强度能较好地反映暴雨产沙作用;用径流量预报产沙量要区别地下、地表径流的不同影响;要考虑不同地貌类型区对产沙量的影响。     

The central role of microbial activity for iron acquisition in maize and sunflower

 Maize (Zea mays L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) grown on a calcareous soil showed poor growth and/or were chlorotic in spite of abundant Fe in the roots. It has been hypothesized that microbial siderophores chelate Fe (III) in the soil, and that in this form Fe is transported towards the root apoplast. On the calcareous soil, total and apoplastic root Fe concentrations were high, probably because of a high apoplastic pH depressing Fe (III)-reductase activity and thus the Fe²⁺ supply to the cytoplasm. On the acidic soil, total and apoplastic root Fe concentrations were low, probably because of a low apoplastic pH favouring Fe (III) reduction, hence plants showed no Fe-deficiency symptoms. The main objective of the present work was to investigate the role of microbial soil activity in plant Fe acquisition. For this purpose, plants were grown under sterile and non-sterile conditions on a loess loam soil. Plants cultivated under non-sterile conditions grew well, showed no Fe-deficiency symptoms and had fairly high Fe concentrations in the roots in contrast to plants grown in the sterile medium. Low root and leaf Fe concentrations in the axenic treatments indicated that the production of microbial siderophores was totally suppressed. Accordingly, sunflowers were severely chlorotic and this was associated with very poor growth, whereas in maize only growth was drastically reduced. In maize under sterile conditions, root apoplastic and total Fe concentrations were not as low as in sunflowers, which may have indicated that phytosiderophores produced in maize partly sustained Fe acquisition, but due to poor growth were not as efficient in supplying Fe as microbial activity under natural conditions. It may be therefore assumed that in natural habitats soil microbial activity is of pivotal importance for plant Fe acquisition. Received: 11 March 1999
