Deep study on Inside Right-angle Step (IRS) forming process was conducted to improve the precision of its (IRS) forming. According to its actual forming process, the zone, or the undeformed zone, was looked as semi-spiral declined cone and excluded the contact zone. A new algorithm was developed for calculating the size of the undeformed zone. More simple mathematical models and expressions weredeveloped for solving the shaping curve. The model was verified in terms of its simplicity and correctness based on the numerical simulation.

New-type floor is composed of three kinds of slabs joined together through fittings. It is a kind of anisotropic two-way slab. In order to study the calculation method of natural frequency, series method, variable thickness method and variable stiffness method are adopted to calculate the natural frequency. The calculation results of three methods are compared with test result and numerical simulation result. The conclusion is that the calculation result of the variable stiffness method is the closest to the real natural frequency of new-type floor.

A hybrid lean blow-off prediction method based on Damköhler ( Da) number was proposed in the authors’ previous study. However, the uniform model for fuel drop size distribution cannot fully reflect the actual atomization quality under lean blow-off conditions, which has negative effects on prediction accuracy. In the current study, atomization experiments are conducted under different fuel supply pressure. The atomization quality is described by Rosin–Rammler model and is integrated into numerical simulation. The calculation method of chemical time scale ( τc) is improved by accurately differentiating the inlet and outlet surface of reaction zone. After the improvement, the Da number under lean blow-off conditions mainly lies between 0.3 and 0.8, while under the designing condition, the Da number is about 20. Compared with the former method, the optimized method in the present article can distinguish stable combustion states markedly from lean blow-off states. Through the introduction of detailed atomization information and the improvement of time scale calculation, lean blow-off prediction accuracy in the present work is efficiently improved, which can provide powerful technical support for engineering applications.

Anchor penetration is an important issue involved in the study of submarine pipeline damage accidents. To explore the penetration of a ship’s anchor under certain conditions, this study investigated the motion and force of an anchor and formulated a calculation method for the bottoming speed of an anchor. Meanwhile, the depth of anchor penetration was calculated under different conditions according to bottoming speed through programming. Finally, the reliability of the calculation method for the penetration depth was verified by comparing the actual measurement and the numerical simulation. On the basis of the findings, the calculation results were further analyzed, and conclusions were derived regarding the relationship between anchor mass, the horizontal projected area of the anchor, the anchor height on the water surface, and water depth. The conclusions provide suggestions for the application of anchor penetration in terms of seabed depth with certain reference values.

<p>The classic approach to tsunami simulation by earthquake sources consists<br>of computing the vertical static deformation of the ocean bottom due to<br>the dislocation, using formalisms such as Mansinha and Smylie's [1971] or<br>Okada's [1985], and of transposing that field directly to the ocean's<br>surface as the initial condition of the numerical simulation.<br>We look into the limitations of this approach by developing a very<br>simple general formula for the energy of a tsunami, expressed as the<br>work performed against the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of<br>the ocean, in excess of the simple increase in potential energy<br>of the displaced water, due to the irreversibility of the process.<br>We successfully test our results against the exact analytical solution<br>obtained by Hammack [1972] for the amplitude of a tsunami generated<br>by the exponentially-decaying uplift of a circular plug on the ocean<br>bottom. We define a "tsunami efficiency" by scaling the resulting energy<br>to its classical value derived, e.g., by Kajiura [1963]. As expected, we<br>find that sources with shorter rise times are more efficient tsunami<br>generators; however, an important new result is that the efficiency is<br>asymptotically limited, for fast sources, to a value depending on the<br>radius of the source, scaled to the depth of the water column; as this<br>ratio increases, it becomes more difficult to flush the water out of<br>the source area during the generation process, resulting in greater<br>tsunami efficiency. Fortunately, this result should not affect<br>significantly the generation of tusnamis by mega-earthquakes.</p>

Abstract Results from a high-resolution numerical simulation of the 24 May 2002 dryline convective initiation (CI) case are presented. The simulation uses a 400 km × 700 km domain with a 1-km horizontal resolution grid nested inside a 3-km domain and starts from an assimilated initial condition at 1800 UTC. Routine as well as special upper-air and surface observations collected during the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002) are assimilated into the initial condition. The initiation of convective storms at around 2015 UTC along a section of the dryline south of the Texas panhandle is correctly predicted, as is the noninitiation of convection at a cold-front–dryline intersection (triple point) located farther north. The timing and location of predicted CI are accurate to within 20 min and 25 km, respectively. The general evolution of the predicted convective line up to 6 h of model time also verifies well. Mesoscale convergence associated with the confluent flow around the dryline is shown to produce an upward moisture bulge, while surface heating and boundary layer mixing are responsible for the general deepening of the boundary layer. These processes produce favorable conditions for convection but the actual triggering of deep moist convection at specific locations along the dryline depends on localized forcing. Interaction of the primary dryline convergence boundary with horizontal convective rolls on its west side provides such localized forcing, while convective eddies on the immediate east side are suppressed by a downward mesoscale dryline circulation. A companion paper analyzes in detail the exact processes of convective initiation along this dryline.

Here we work with the RANS equations describing the non-stationary viscous compressible fluid flow. We focus on the numerical simulation of the flow through the porous media, characterized by the loss of momentum. Further we simulate the flow through the set of diffusible barriers. Here we analyze the modification of the Riemann problem with one-side initial condition, complemented with the Darcy’s law and added inertial loss. We show the computational results obtained with the own-developed code for the solution of the compressible gas flow.

This investigation is related with the fire resistance of composite slabs with steel deck. This composite solution consists of a concrete topping cast on the top of a steel deck. The concrete is typically reinforced with a steel mesh and may also contain individual rebars. The deck also acts as reinforcement and may be exposed to accidental fire conditions from the bottom. This composite solution is widely used in every type of buildings and requires fire resistance, in accordance to regulations. The fire resistance is specified by the loadbearing capacity (R), insulation (I) and integrity (E). The fire rating for (R) and (E) is not in the scope of this investigation. The fire rating for insulation (I) is evaluated by two different methods (numerical simulation and simple calculation). The fire rating is calculated for 32 different geometric configuration, in order to evaluate the effect of the thickness of the concrete layer and the thickness of steel deck. The fire resistance (I) increases with the thickness of the concrete when using both methods, but the simple calculation method seems to be unsafe for all the cases, requiring a revision for the formulae presented in Annex D of EN1994-1-2. A new proposal is presented.
