Design and Test of 1/5th Scale Horizontal Axis Tidal Current Turbine

Tidal current energy is prominent and renewable. Great progress has been made in the exploitation technology of tidal current energy all over the world in recent years, and the large scale device has become the trend of tidal current turbine (TCT) for its economies. Instead of the similarity to the wind turbine, the tidal turbine has the characteristics of high hydrodynamic efficiency, big thrust, reliable sealing system, tight power transmission structure, etc. In this paper, a 1/5th scale horizontal axis tidal current turbine has been designed, manufactured and tested before the full scale device design. Firstly, the three-blade horizontal axis rotor was designed based on traditional blade element momentum theory and its hydrodynamic performance was predicted in numerical model. Then the power train system and stand-alone electrical control unit of tidal current turbine, whose performances were accessed through the bench test carried out in workshop, were designed and presented. Finally, offshore tests were carried out and the power performance of the rotor was obtained and compared with the published literatures, and the results showed that the power coefficient was satisfactory, which agrees with the theoretical predictions.     

河北省曹妃甸近岸海域悬浮泥沙含量分布特征研究

本文通过实地调查及取样测试,获得了该区域四条剖面上共49站位不同深度的悬浮泥沙含量,分析了该区域内悬浮泥沙含量在空间上的分布特征,初步建立了悬浮泥沙浓度在空间上的相关性经验模型,并对模型进行了验证,验证结果较为满意.此研究可为悬浮泥沙含量在空间上尤其是中层与底层的遥感定量动态监测提供基本依据.     

气候变化对浑善达克沙地沙漠化影响的评估

利用近43年气象观测资料,分析得出浑善达克沙地气温在逐年升高,而降水量、蒸发量、平均风速、大风日数、沙尘暴日数总体呈逐年减少态势。其中温度升高、降水减少和极端气候事件的增多加剧了浑善达克沙地沙漠化的发展;平均风速逐年减少对该地区沙漠化治理有利。但进入本世纪以后,蒸发量、大风日数和沙尘暴日数有增加趋势,同时通过1976、1987和2002年的遥感卫星监测结果验证:流动沙地面积不断增加,进一步表明浑善达克沙地的沙漠化局部正在扩展,这与该地区气候的变化有关。
