New shallow-water equations (SWEs), for sloshing in three dimensions (two horizontal and one vertical) in a vessel which is undergoing rigid-body motion in 3-space, are derived. The rigid-body motion of the vessel (roll–pitch–yaw and/or surge–sway–heave) is modelled exactly and the only approximations are in the fluid motion. The flow is assumed to be inviscid but vortical, with approximations on the vertical velocity and acceleration at the surface. These equations improve previous shallow-water models. The model also extends to three dimensions the essence of the Penney–Price–Taylor theory for the highest standing wave. The surface SWEs are simulated using a split-step alternating direction implicit finite-difference scheme. Numerical experiments are reported, including comparisons with existing results in the literature, and simulations with vessels undergoing full 3-D rotations.

The behavior of many cellular components, and their dynamic interactions, can be characterized in the living cell with considerable spatial and temporal resolution by video-enhanced light microscopy (video-LM). Indeed, under the appropriate conditions video-LM can be used to determine the real-time behavior of organelles ≤ 25-nm in diameter (e.g., individual microtubules—see). However, when pushed to its limit the structures and components observed within the cell by video-LM cannot be resolved nor necessarily even identified, only detected. Positive identification and a quantitative analysis often requires the corresponding electron microcopy (EM).

Based on the solution of the problem of non-stationary heat transfer during fluid motion in underground permeable layers, dependence was obtained to determine the operating time of the geothermal circulation system in the regime of constant and falling temperatures. It has been established that for a thickness of the layer H <4 m, the influence of heat influxes at = 0.99 and = 0.5 is practically the same, but for a thickness of the layer H> 5 m, the influence of heat inflows depends significantly on temperature. At a thickness of the permeable formation H> 20 m, the heat transfer at = 0.99 has virtually no effect on the thermal processes in the permeable formation, but at = 0.5 the heat influx, depending on the speed of movement, can be from 50 to 90%. Only at H> 50 m, the effect of heat influx significantly decreases and amounts, depending on the filtration rate, from 50 to 10%. The thermal effect of the rock mass with its thickness of more than 10 m, the distance between the discharge circuit and operation, as well as the speed of the coolant have almost no effect on the determination of the operating time of the GCS in constant temperature mode. During operation of the GCS at a dimensionless coolant temperature = 0.5, the velocity of the coolant is significant. With an increase in the speed of the coolant in two times, the error changes by 1.5 times.

ABSTRACT The idea of intelligent tires is to develop a tire into an active perception component or a force sensor with an embedded microsensor, such as an accelerometer. A tire rolling kinematics model is necessary to link the acceleration measured with the tire body elastic deformation, based on which the tire forces can be identified. Although intelligent tires have attracted wide interest in recent years, a theoretical model for the rolling kinematics of acceleration fields is still lacking. Therefore, this paper focuses on an explicit formulation for the tire rolling kinematics of acceleration, thereby providing a foundation for the force identification algorithms for an accelerometer-based intelligent tire. The Lagrange–Euler method is used to describe the acceleration field and contact deformation of rolling contact structures. Then, the three-axis acceleration vectors can be expressed by coupling rigid body motion and elastic deformation. To obtain an analytical expression of the full tire deformation, a three-dimensional tire ring model is solved with the tire–road deformation as boundary conditions. After parameterizing the ring model for a radial tire, the developed method is applied and validated by comparing the calculated three-axis accelerations with those measured by the accelerometer. Based on the features of acceleration, especially the distinct peak values corresponding to the tire leading and trailing edges, an intelligent tire identification algorithm is established to predict the tire–road contact length and tire vertical load. A simulation and experiments are conducted to verify the accuracy of the estimation algorithm, the results of which demonstrate good agreement. The proposed model provides a solid theoretical foundation for an acceleration-based intelligent tire.
