Abstract Star copolymers of acrylamide and N,N-dimethyl-N-vinyl­nonadecan-1-aminium chloride (C18DMAAC) were synthesized by photopolymerization in water. Solution behaviors of these star hydrophobically modified acrylamide copolymers (SHMPAMs) with different C18DMAAC contents and the linear hydrophobically modified acrylamide copolymers (LHMPAMs) were characterized. The increase in C18DMAAC content resulted in decreased intrinsic viscosity and increased the Huggins constant for SHMPAMs. Similar results were observed for LHMPAMs. With similar intrinsic viscosity and C18DMAAC content, the Huggins constant of SHMPAMs was much higher than that of LHMPAMs, which could be due to the fact that SHMPAMs had much stronger intramolecular interaction in dilute polymer solutions. In semi-dilute solutions, the apparent viscosity of SHMPAMs was increased with increasing C18DMAAC content, which was similar to that of LHMPAMs. However, SHMPAMs exhibited higher apparent viscosity than LHMPAMs because it had more arms and thus had more chances to form three-dimensional networks in semi-dilute solutions. In the flow-induced scission experiment, SHMPAMs exhibited superior shear stability in comparison with LHMPAMs. When the strain rate was ≈40,000 s-1, the reduction ratios of the apparent viscosities of the four SHMPAMs after the scission were approximately 80%. By contrast, when the strain rate was ≈20,000 s-1, the reduction ratio of the apparent viscosity of LHMPAM-0.40 had already reached around 80%.

AbstractStar copolymers of acrylamide (AM) and N,N-dimethyl-Nvinylnonadecan- 1- aminium chloride (C18DMAAC) were synthesized by photopolymerization in water. Some properties of these star hydrophobically modified acrylamide copolymers (SHMPAM) with different C18DMAAC contents and the linear hydrophobically modified acrylamide copolymers (LHMPAM) in brine were characterized.

However SHMPAM exhibited higher apparent viscosity than LHMPAM because it had more arms and thus had more chances to form three-dimensional networks in semi-dilute solutions. In the flowinduced scission experiment, SHMPAM exhibited superior shear stability in comparison with LHMPAM. When the extensional shear rate was ≈ 40000 s-1, the reduction ratios of the apparent viscosities of the four SHMPAMs after the scission were about 80%. In contrast, when the extensional shear rate was ≈20000 s-1, the reduction ratio of the apparent viscosity of LHMPAM-0.40 had already reached around 80%.

Dimensional Simulation

The NH3 uniformity and conversion rate produced by the urea–water solution spray system is an essential factor affecting de-NOx efficiency. In this work, a three-dimensional simulation model was developed with the CFD software and was employed to investigate the effects of two typical injection methods (wall injection and center injection) and three distribution strategies (pre-mixer, post-mixer, pre-mixer, and post-mixer) of two typical mixers on the urea conversion rate and uniformity. The field synergy principle was employed to analyze the heat transfer of different mixer flow fields. The results show that the single mixer has instability in optimizing different injection positions due to different injection methods and injection positions. The dual-mixer is stable in the optimization of the flow field under different conditions. The conclusion of the field synergy theory of the single mixer accords with the simulation result. The Fc of the dual-mixer cases is low, but the NH3 conversion and uniformity index rate are also improved due to the increase in the residence time of UWS.

One challenging problem is the representation of three-dimensional datasets that vary with time. These datasets can be thought of as a cloud of points that gradually deforms. However, point-wise variations lack information about the overall deformation pattern, and, more importantly, about the extreme deformation locations inside the cloud. This present article applies a technique in computational mechanics to derive the strain-rate state of a time-dependent and three-dimensional data distribution, by which one can characterize its main trends of shift. Indeed, the tensorial analysis methodology is able to determine the global deformation rates in the entire dataset. With the use of this technique, one can characterize the significant fluctuations in a reduced multivariate description of an urban system and identify the possible causes of those changes: calculating the strain-rate state of a PCA-based multivariate description of an urban system, we are able to describe the clustering and divergence patterns between the districts of a city and to characterize the temporal rate in which those variations happen.

Landslide Tsunamis

This paper incorperates Bingham and bi-viscosity rheology models with the Navier–Stokes solver to simulate the dynamics and kinematics processes of slumps for tsunami generation. The rheology models are integrated into a computational fluid dynamics code, Splash3D, to solve the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with volume of fluid surface tracking algorithm. The change between un-yield and yield phases of the slide material is controlled by the yield stress and yield strain rate in Bingham and bi-viscosity models, respectively. The integrated model is carefully validated by the theoretical results and laboratory data with good agreements. This validated model is then used to simulate the benchmark problem of the failure of the gypsum tailings dam in East Texas in 1966. The accuracy of predicted flood distances simulated by both models is about 73% of the observation data. To improve the prediction, a fixed large viscosity is introduced to describe the un-yield behavior of tailings material. The yield strain rate is obtained by comparing the simulated inundation boundary to the field data. This modified bi-viscosity model improves not only the accuracy of the spreading distance to about 97% but also the accuracy of the spreading width. The un-yield region in the modified bi-viscosity model is sturdier than that described in the Bingham model. However, once the tailing material yields, the material returns to the Bingham property. This model can be used to simulate landslide tsunamis.

The effects of turbulent Reynolds number on the statistical behaviour of the displacement speed have been studied using three-dimensional Direct Numerical Simulation of statistically planar turbulent premixed flames. The probability of finding negative values of the displacement speed is found to increase with increasing turbulent Reynolds number when the Damköhler number is held constant. It has been shown that the statistical behaviour of the Surface Density Function, and its strain rate and curvature dependence, plays a key role in determining the response of the different components of displacement speed. Increasing the turbulent Reynolds number is shown to reduce the strength of the correlations between tangential strain rate and dilatation rate with curvature, although the qualitative nature of the correlations remains unaffected. The dependence of displacement speed on strain rate and curvature is found to weaken with increasing turbulent Reynolds number when either Damköhler or Karlovitz number is held constant, but the qualitative nature of the correlation remains unaltered. The implications of turbulent Reynolds number effects in the context of Flame Surface Density (FSD) modelling have also been addressed, with emphasis on the influence of displacement speed on the curvature and propagation terms in the FSD balance equation.
