Application of probabilistic neural network to design breakwater armor blocks

This study presents a probabilistic neural network (PNN) technique for predicting the stability number of armor blocks of breakwaters. The PNN is prepared using the experimental data of Van der Meer. The predicted stability numbers of the PNN are compared with those of previous studies, i.e. by an empirical formula and a previous neural network model. The agreement index between the measured and predicted stability numbers by PNN are better than those by the previous studies. The PNN offers a way to interpret the network's structure in the form of a probability density function and it is easy to implement. Therefore, it can be an effective tool for designers of rubble mound breakwaters.     

Shape optimization of two-dimensional cavitators in supercavitating flows, using NSGA II algorithm

The reduction of energy consumption of high speed submersible bodies is an important challenge in hydrodynamic researches. In this paper, shape optimization of two-dimensional cavitators in supercavitating flows is studied. A two dimensional supercavitation potential flow passes a symmetric two dimensional cavitator, which is placed perpendicular to the flow in a channel of infinite length and immediately a cavity is formed behind the cavitator. This is because of the generation of a gas or vapor cavity between the body and the surrounding liquid due to the change in a high speed flow direction passing the cavitator. Drag force acting on this supercavitating body dictates the thrust requirements for the propulsion system, to maintain a required cavity at the operating speed. Therefore, any reduction in the drag force, by modifying the shape of the cavitator, will lead to decrease this force. This study concentrates on the optimization of two dimensional cavitators in order to decrease drag coefficient for a specified after body length and velocity in a potential flow. To achieve this goal a multi-objective optimization problem is defined to optimize cavitator shapes in supercavitating flow. The so-called NSGA II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm) algorithm is used as an optimization method. Design parameters and constraints are obtained according to supercavitating flow characteristics and cavitator modeling and objective functions are generated using Linear Regression Method. The obtained results are compared with other classic optimization methods, like the weighted sum method, for validation.     

Analysis of threshold and incipient conditions for sediment movement

Prediction of threshold conditions and incipient motion is the essential issue for the study of sediment transport. This work compares existing empirical threshold curves proposed for Shields diagram, a method based on the concept of probability of sediment movement, and an empirical method based on movability number. These methods are used to predict the incipient motion conditions for experimental runs taken from various studies. Most of the experimental data, used in this work, have not been used before in derivation of alternative formulations for Shields diagram and other methods. The empirical threshold curves based on the Shields entrainment function was the least successful at predicting the measured incipient motion conditions, while the use of the movability number gives good predictions of critical shear velocity compared with experimental data.

不同倍性大黄鱼核仁数目银染观察

用银染法对不同倍性(单倍体、正常二倍体、正常三倍体、雌核发育二倍体、雌核发育鱼子代三倍体)大黄鱼胚胎、仔鱼或成鱼的不同组织进行细胞核仁数目观察计数。结果表明,大黄鱼各种倍性个体细胞核仁数目与染色体倍性之间有良好的对应关系,且核仁数随个体倍性的增加而增加;非诱导雌核发育的大黄鱼细胞核仁众数与染色体组数相等(二倍体为2,三倍体为3),而人工诱导雌核发育大黄鱼及其子代细胞核仁众数却比其相同倍性的非雌核发育鱼少1(雌核发育二倍体为1,雌核发育三倍体为2)。雌核发育鱼核仁数减少是一个非常有趣的现象,值得进一步研究。大黄鱼不同发育阶段(胚胎、仔鱼、成鱼)以及同一个体不同组织(鳃、肾、鳍)的细胞核仁数目(众数)相同。因此,借助核仁银染法可以快速、可靠、简便地进行染色体倍性鉴定。而雌核发育鱼核仁数减少的机理值得进一步研究。
