Abstract The hydrodynamic lake model is an important tool for lake management and decision-making. When model results are analyzed by the traditional analysis methods, the multi-source heterogeneous data are not expressed systematically and intuitively, which leads to the inability to extract useful information efficiently. In order to solve the above problems, a three-dimensional dynamic visualization analysis method of the hydrodynamic lake model (3DV-HLM) is proposed by coupling the hydrodynamic lake model and the three-dimensional dynamic visualization technology. Chaohu Lake is taken as an example to verify the feasibility of the method. 13 working conditions are set up and the simulated water flows changing with space and time are analyzed and compared by the 3DV-HLM method. Results show that the 3DV-HLM method proposed in this study is more systematic and effective in the expression of multi-source heterogeneous information than the traditional analysis methods. It is easier to discover rules and obtain useful information from huge data set by the 3DV-HLM method. Besides, the intuitive display of the model results by the 3DV-HLM method is close to the real environment, which can enhance the understanding of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the lake by the water environment managers.

In the study of cell organization in a maize meristem, direct viewing of confocal optical sections in 3D (by means of 3D projection of the volumetric data set, Figure 1) becomes very difficult and confusing because of the large number of nucleus involved. Numerical description of the cellular organization (e.g. position, size and orientation of each structure) and computer graphic presentation are some of the solutions to effectively study the structure of such a complex system. An attempt at data-reduction by means of manually contouring cell nucleus in 3D was reported (Summers et al., 1990). Apart from being labour intensive, this 3D digitization technique suffers from the inaccuracies of manual 3D tracing related to the depth perception of the operator. However, it does demonstrate that reducing stack of confocal images to a 3D graphic representation helps to visualize and analyze complex tissues (Figure 2). This procedure also significantly reduce computational burden in an interactive operation.

Any real world object is three-dimensional. The principle of tomography, which reconstructs the 3-D structure of an object from its 2-D projections of different view angles has found application in many disciplines. Electron Microscopic (EM) tomography on non-ordered structures (e.g., subcellular structures in biology and non-crystalline structures in material science) has been exercised sporadically in the last twenty years or so. As vital as is the 3-D structural information and with no existing alternative 3-D imaging technique to compete in its high resolution range, the technique to date remains the kingdom of a brave few. Its tedious tasks have been preventing it from being a routine tool. One keyword in promoting its popularity is automation: The data collection has been automated in our lab, which can routinely yield a data set of over 100 projections in the matter of a few hours. Now the image processing part is also automated. Such automations finish the job easier, faster and better.

Interturbine diffusers provide continuity between HP and LP turbines while diffusing the flow upstream of the LP turbine. Increasing the mean turbine diameter offers the potential advantage of reducing the flow factor in the following stages, leading to increased efficiency. The flows associated with these interturbine diffusers differ from those in simple annular diffusers both as a consequence of their high-curvature S-shaped geometry and of the presence of wakes created by the upstream turbine. It is shown that even the simplest two-dimensional wakes result in significantly modified flows through such ducts. These introduce strong secondary flows demonstrating that fully three-dimensional, viscous analysis methods are essential for correct performance modeling.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence technology and school education had become a future trend, and became an important driving force for the development of education. With the advent of the era of big data, although the relationship between students’ learning status data was closer to nonlinear relationship, combined with the application analysis of artificial intelligence technology, it could be found that students’ living habits were closely related to their academic performance. In this paper, through the investigation and analysis of the living habits and learning conditions of more than 2000 students in the past 10 grades in Information College of Institute of Disaster Prevention, we used the hierarchical clustering algorithm to classify the nearly 180000 records collected, and used the big data visualization technology of Echarts + iView + GIS and the JavaScript development method to dynamically display the students’ life track and learning information based on the map, then apply Three Dimensional ArcGIS for JS API technology showed the network infrastructure of the campus. Finally, a training model was established based on the historical learning achievements, life trajectory, graduates’ salary, school infrastructure and other information combined with the artificial intelligence Back Propagation neural network algorithm. Through the analysis of the training resulted, it was found that the students’ academic performance was related to the reasonable laboratory study time, dormitory stay time, physical exercise time and social entertainment time. Finally, the system could intelligently predict students’ academic performance and give reasonable suggestions according to the established prediction model. The realization of this project could provide technical support for university educators.

The aim of the study is to devise a method to conservatively predict a tidal power generation based on relatively short current profile measurement data sets. Harmonic analysis on a low quality tidal current profile measurement data set only allowed for the reliable estimation of a limited number of constituents leading to a poor prediction of tidal energy yield. Two novel, but very different approaches were taken: firstly a quasi response function is formulated which combines the currents profiles into a single current. Secondly, a three dimensional vectorial tidal forcing model was developed aiming to support the harmonic analysis with upfront knowledge of the actual constituents. The response based approach allowed for a reasonable prediction. The vectorial tidal forcing model proved to be a viable start for a full featuring numerical model; even in its initial simplified form it could provide more insight than the conventional tidal potential models.

The foundation ofdelaunay triangulationandconstrained delaunay triangulationis the basis of three dimensional geographical information system which is one of hot issues of the contemporary era; moreover it is widely applied in finite element methods, terrain modeling and object reconstruction, euclidean minimum spanning tree and other applications. An algorithm for generatingconstrained delaunay triangulationin two dimensional planes is presented. The algorithm permits constrained edges and polygons (possibly with holes) to be specified in the triangulations, and describes some data structures related to constrained edges and polygons. In order to maintain the delaunay criterion largely,some new incremental points are added onto the constrained ones. After the data set is preprocessed, the foundation ofconstrained delaunay triangulationis showed as follows: firstly, the constrained edges and polygons generate initial triangulations,then the remained points completes the triangulation . Some pseudo-codes involved in the algorithm are provided. Finally, some conclusions and further studies are given.

<p>The study of thermodynamic and biochemical processes of inland water objects using one- and three-dimensional RANS numerical models was carried out both for idealized water bodies and using measurements data. The need to take into account seiche oscillations to correctly reproduce the deepening of the upper mixed layer in one-dimensional (vertical) models is demonstrated. We considered the one-dimensional LAKE model [1] and the three-dimensional model [2, 3, 4] developed at the Research Computing Center of Moscow State University on the basis of a hydrodynamic code combining DNS/LES/RANS approaches for calculating geophysical turbulent flows. The three-dimensional model was supplemented by the equations for calculating biochemical substances by analogy with the one-dimensional biochemistry equations used in the LAKE model. The effect of mixing processes on the distribution of concentration of greenhouse gases, in particular, methane and oxygen, was studied.</p><p>The work was supported by grants of the RF President’s Grant for Young Scientists (MK-1867.2020.5, MD-1850.2020.5) and by the RFBR (19-05-00249, 20-05-00776). </p><p>1.
