To understand the underwater explosion (UNDEX) performance of RDX/AP-based aluminized explosives, six formulations of the explosives were prepared, with Al content varying from 30% to 55% and ammonium perchlorate (AP) content from 45% to 20%. A series of UNDEX tests that used a 1 kg cylindrical charge was conducted underwater at a depth of 4.7 m. The pressure histories of the shock wave produced at different positions and the bubble periods were measured. The coefficients of the similarity law equation for the shock wave parameters were fitted with experimental data. The effect of the aluminum/oxygen (Al/O) ratio on the performance of the energy output structure for RDX/AP-based aluminized explosives is discussed. The bubble motion during UNDEX was simulated using MSC.DYTRAN software, and the radius-time curves of the bubbles were determined. The results show that AP influences the detonation reaction mechanism of RDX/AP-based aluminized explosives, which causes different UNDEX performances. The bubble energy of the RDX/AP-based aluminized explosive was higher than that of RDX-based and HMX-based aluminized explosives.

The electrostatic precipitators (ESP) have been drawing more and more attention due to their high efficiency and low costs. Numerical simulation is a powerful, economical and flexible tool to design ESP for industry applications. This review summarizes the available numerical models to simulate different physical processes in ESP, including ionized electric field, air flow, particle charging and motion. It has been confirmed that the available models could provide acceptable results and the computing requirements are affordable in industry applications. The coupling between different physical processes can also be considered in simulation. However, there are still some problems not solved, such as selection of a suitable turbulence model in EHD simulation and the coupling criteria. The future study should focus on these issues. This review also includes new types of ESP developed in recent years, such as dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) ESP and corona assisted fibrous filter. These new types of ESP have had high efficiency and low energy consumption. Even though nearly all new ESP types can be modeled using the available numerical models, the most challenging issue is the DBD simulation.

Elektrofiltry są obiektem nieustającej uwagi ze względu na ich wysoką sprawność i niski koszt. Symulacja numeryczna jest bardzo skutecznym, ekonomicznym i elastycznym narzędziem przy projektowaniu przemysłowych elektrofiltrów. Ten artykuł podsumowuje dostępne modele numeryczne do symulacji różnych procesów fizycznych występujących w elektrofiltrach, włączając zjonizowane pole elektryczne, przepływ powietrza, ładowanie cząstek i ich trajektorie. Zostało potwierdzone, że dostępne modele mogą dostarczyć zadowalających wyników nawet używając sprzętu komputerowego dostępnego w zastosowaniach przemysłowych. Wzajemne sprzężenia między różnymi procesami fizycznymi mogą być analizowane podczas symulacji. Ciągle istnieją jednak problemy nierozwiązane, na przykład wybór odpowiedniego modelu turbulencji przeplywu gazu albo kryteriów sprzężeń. Przyszłe badania powinny skoncentrować się na ich rozwiązaniu. Ten przegląd omawia też nowe rodzaje elektrofiltrów zaproponowanych w ostatnich latach, na przykład elektrofiltry oparte na wyładowaniach z barierą dielektryczną albo wspomagane wyładowaniem koronowym filtry włókniste. Te nowe typy elektrofiltrów mają wysoką sprawność i niski pobór energii. Jeśli nawet prawie wszystkie nowe typy elektrofiltrów mogą być modelowane z użyciem istniejących modeli numerycznych, najtrudniejsze jest modelowanie wyładowania z barierą dielektryczną.

The stayed cables are key stress components of large offshore bridge. The fault detection of stayed cable is very important for safe of large offshore bridge. A particle filter model and algorithm of nonlinear vibration signal are used in this paper. Firstly, the particle filter model of stayed cable of large offshore bridge is created. Nonlinear dynamic model of the stayed-cable and beam coupling system is dispersed in temporal dimension by using the finite difference method. The discrete nonlinear vibration equations of any cable element are worked out. Secondly, a state equation of particle filter is fitted by least square algorithm from the discrete nonlinear vibration equations. So the particle filter algorithm can use the accurate state equations. Finally, the particle filter algorithm is used to filter the vibration signal of bridge stayed cable. According to the particle filter, the de-noised vibration signal can be tracked and be predicted for a short time accurately. Many experiments are done at some actual bridges. The simulation experiments and the actual experiments on the bridge stayed cables are all indicating that the particle filter algorithm in this paper has good performance and works stably.

Solidago canadensis, which is native to North America, is considered to be the most widespread invasive alien plant. The invasion of Solidago canadensis in China has resulted in serious environmental problems. Therefore, understanding the relationship between the geographical distribution of S. canadensis and bioclimatic variables, and then predicting the potential distribution of this species is essential for management actions and practices. Although several studies have delineated the potential distribution of S. canadensis in China, how this species would respond to variations in future climatic conditions remains unclear. In the present study, we predicted the potential distribution of S. canadensis under current and future climatic conditions using species distribution models. We also analyzed range shifting of this species under current and future climatic conditions. We arrived at several conclusions. First, the potential distribution of S. canadensis may expand 40% under future climatic condition compare with that of under current condition. Second, mean diurnal range, isothermality, mean temperature of the wettest quarter, mean temperature of the warmest quarter, precipitation of the driest month, and precipitation seasonality (coefficient of variation) are key bioclimatic variables in determine the potential distribution of S. canadensis. Third, expansion of S. canadensis can be partly attributed to the relatively warmer and wetter future bioclimatic condition than current one.

The earth is now facing the land degradation due to human disturbance, natural habitats were converted to rural and agricultural areas in order to fulfill the increasing demand of human population. The deforestation of Picea crassifolia (Qinghai spruce) forest at Qilian Mts is an example of such disturbance. P. crassifolia is an ecologically and hydrologically important plant species in the northwestern arid area of China. However, the forests have been intensively and extensively deforested. In order to restore the human-disturbed ecosystems, the spatial distribution of P. crassifolia needs to be delineated. This study employed Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Prediction model (GARP) and Maximum entropy model (Maxent) and four environmental variables (mean temperature of the warmest quarter, precipitation of the wettest quarter, annual solar radiation, topographic wetness index) to predict the potential distribution of P. crassifolia in Qilian Mts. Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Prediction model (GARP) produces a model of species niches in geographic space based on heterogeneous rule-sets. Maximum entropy model (Maxent) focuses on fitting a probability distribution for occurrence based on the idea that the best explanation to unknown phenomena will maximize the entropy of the probability distribution, subject to the appropriate constraints. The environmental variables were spatially interpolated throughout the entire study area. We used sensitivity-specificity sum maximum approach to select the threshold value. The projected niche space for the mean temperature of the warmest quarter is between 8.5 and 18.1[degrees]C; the space for the precipitation of the wettest quarter is between 149 and 245 mm; the space for annual solar radiation is 118-1100 x 10[^3] wh m[^-2] and the space for topographic wetness index is between -0.4 and 5.1. The results show that both GARP and Maxent's models produce acceptable predictions, but the overall comparison shows that GARP prediction is better than Maxent's; the comparison between the observed distribution and the predicted distribution suggests that 61% (2869 km2) of P. crassifolia forests have been deforested.

In this paper, an efficient method for object tracking based on nonparametric approach is presented. The density we estimated is based on an adaptive kernel model, which is driven by the intensity difference between the target and the background. The background-weighted histogram for statistics of feature takes into account the relevance between the target and background. What is more, this approach extends the range that is needed for searching object. The target model is updated according to the change of the object and environment. Experimental results on real image sequences demonstrate its robust performance in visual tracking and require less iteration computations when compared to other method.

In this paper, a randomized method for detecting multiple ellipses based on the least square approach is presented. The main concept used is that we first randomly select three edge pixels in the image, which are the centre of three windows with the same size. In order to determine a possible ellipse, we use the least square method to fit all the edge points in these three window, and to solve the ellipse parameters through Lagrange multiplier method. Then we randomly select the fourth edge pixel in the image and define a distance criterion to determine whether there is a possible ellipse in the image. After finding a possible ellipse, we apply a further verification process to determine whether the possible ellipse is a true ellipse or not. Some artificial images with different levels of noises and some natural grey images containing circular objects with some occluded ellipses and missing edges have been taken to test the performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is faster and more accurate than other methods.

The low efficiency of wet steam turbine is mainly attributed to wetness losses. To investigate the mechanisms which give rise to these losses, a fully Eulerian model has been developed for calculation of the wet steam flows with spontaneous condensation. In this model, the liquid phase is described with two conservation equations in Eulerian form and coupled with a solver of gas dynamics equations. With such a model, the existing code for simulation of single-phase flows can easily be changed to include wet steam two-phase flows in wet steam turbines. A numerical simulation of condensing flow in a plane turbine cascade is performed, and the numerical results are presented and compared with the experimental results.
