A preliminary study of the effects of some flow parameters in the generation of poloidal and toroidal energies within a 3-D spherical thermal-convective system with variable viscosity

The effects of variable viscosity on flow dynamics within spherical shells are investigated using a finite-element thermal convection model, and preliminary result for cases with relatively low Rayleigh numbers and small viscosity contrasts are reported. These results demonstrate some general effects of viscosity variation on mantle dynamics, and, in particular, the generation of toroidal energy. Since lateral viscosity variations are necessary in the generation of toroidal motion in a thermally driven convective system, it is not surprising our results show that flows with greater viscosity contrasts produce greater amounts of toroidal energy. Our preliminary study further shows that solutions become more time-dependent as viscosity contrasts increase. Increasing the Rayleigh number is also found to increase the magnitude of toroidal energy. Internal heating, on the other hand, appears to lead to less toroidal energy compared wth bottom heating because it tends to produce a thermally more uniform interior and thus smaller viscosity variations.     

山地边界层中场变量的动力学研究

采用与实测较接近的二次函数来表达Ｅｋｍａｎ层中的湍流粘性系数Ｋ，在圆形气压场条件下，求得了山地上空边界层中的风速，进而求得散度、涡度和垂直速度等场变量随高度的分布。并作图分析了这些场变量的一些动力学特征。改进了以往在求解析解时，略去运动方程中湍流粘性力项中的关于高度的一阶导数项，以及取山坡面上风速为零作下边界条件等欠合理欠精确的做法。所求得的风速、散度、涡度和垂直速度均用简单的初等函数表示出来，有助于边界层参数化和深化对边界层动力学的认识。

随着计算机技术的迅速发展,计算机在过程控制中起着越来越重要的作用,在集散控制系统中,上位机通过PCU(Process ControlUnit)传送来的数据进行分析处理而后对PCU实现参数整定、报警与管理。因此这一领域的数据挖掘方法研究具有十分重要的意义。文章将根据这一领域的特殊情况,提出一种基于变网格的聚类分析算法分析过程数据库中的离群数据,从而实现系统的预测报警功能。     

Potential impacts of aerosol–land–atmosphere interactions on the Indian monsoonal rainfall characteristics

Aerosols can affect the cloud-radiation feedback and the precipitation over the Indian monsoon region. In this paper, we propose that another pathway by which aerosols can modulate the multi-scale aspect of Indian monsoons is by altering the land–atmosphere interactions. The nonlinear feedbacks due to aerosol/diffuse radiation on coupled interactions over the Indian monsoon region are studied by: (1) reviewing recent field measurements and modeling studies, (2) analyzing the MODIS and AERONET aerosol optical depth datasets, and (3) diagnosing the results from sensitivity experiments using a mesoscale modeling system. The results of this study suggest that the large magnitude of aerosol loading and its impact on land–atmosphere interactions can significantly influence the mesoscale monsoonal characteristics in the Indo-Ganges Basin.     

Robust H∞ control for aseismic structures with uncertainties in model parameters

This paper presents a robust H∞ output feedback control approach for structural systems with uncertainties in model parameters by using available acceleration measurements and proposes conditions for the existence of such a robust output feedback controller. The uncertainties of structural stiffness, damping and mass parameters are assumed to be norm-bounded. The proposed control approach is formulated within the framework of linear matrix inequalities, for which existing convex optimization techniques, such as the LMI toolbox in MATLAB, can be used effectively and conveniently. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed robust H∞ strategy, a six-story building was subjected both to the 1940 El Centro earthquake record and to a suddenly applied Kanai-Tajimi filtered white noise random excitation. The results show that the proposed robust H∞ controller provides satisfactory results with or without variation of the structural stiffness, damping and mass parameters.     

可变电荷土壤和恒电荷土壤与氢离子相互作用机理

研究了可变电荷土壤和恒电荷土壤与H相互作用的机理，并比较了它们之间的差别，研究结果表明，氢离子输入土壤后可以转化为表面正电荷，可溶性铝和可交换性酸，但是由于土壤的组成和性质不同，不同土壤中H＋三种去向的贡献不同。H＋转化为表面正电荷是由于土壤表面Fe-OH,Al-OH的质子化造成的，因此H＋转化为表面正电荷的能力与土壤中氧化铁的含量密切相关，从而可变电荷土壤中H＋转化为表面正电荷的贡献比恒电荷土壤中的大。H＋转化为可溶性铝的能力与土教育部 的矿物组成密切相关，随着H＋输入量的增加，土壤中可溶性铝的含量也增加。可变电荷土壤中可溶性铝增加的顺序为红壤＞赤红壤＞铁质砖红壤，在H＋的加入量小于15mmol/kg时，黄棕壤的可溶性铝介于红壤和赤红壤之间，当H＋的加入量大于约15mmol/kg时，黄棕壤的可溶性铝略小于赤红壤，棕壤的可溶性铝明显小于红壤和赤红壤，但比铁质砖红壤高，恒电荷土壤的可变性酸量明显大于可变电荷土壤，但从总的看来，H＋加入量的变化对可交换性酸量的影响不大。
