Due to the dynamic coupling effects of solar radiation, longwave radiation, convective heat transfer, shadows, and other factors, the temperature field and effect of steel structures are significantly non-uniform, differing from traditional concepts that regard the temperature variation of steel structures as a slow and uniform progress. This difference can hinder the correct understanding of the thermal behavior of steel structures and ignore some potential safety hazards. This paper provides a review of the studies for the non-uniform temperature field and effect of steel structures, and presents some outlooks on future developments on the basis of the current research situation. A summary of research on the temperature field and effect of space structures, bridges and radio telescopes initially establishes the basic cognitive framework for this field. In addition, then, the basic principles of the numerical simulation of temperature fields are introduced through heat transfer mechanism, and the experimental test methods of temperature and its effects are described based on typical test cases. Finally, with a view to the future, some suggestions and opinions are provided in consideration of deficiencies in the current research status. This paper hopes to provide some valuable references for future research in this field through research summary, method introduction and outlook.

In the present study, a double-deck filament setup is proposed for the hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method and an optimization method is presented to determine its optimal geometry that is able to produce a highly uniform temperature field on the whole flute surface of long-flute cutting tools. The optimization method is based on the finite volume method (FVM) simulation and the Taguchi method. The simulation results show that this double-deck filament setup always produce a highly uniform temperature distribution along the filament direction. Comparatively, for the temperature uniformity along the drill axis, the heights of the two filament decks present virtually significant influence, while the separations between the two filaments in either deck exhibit a relative weak effect. An optimized setup is obtained that can produce a highly uniform temperature field with an average temperature of 834°C, a standard deviation (σ) of 2.59°C and a temperature range (R) of 11.75°C. Finally, the precision of the proposed simulation method is verified by an additional temperature measurement. The measured temperature results show that a highly uniform temperature fields with σ/R = 9.6/35.2°C can be generated by the optimized setup and the deviation of the simulated results from the measured actual temperatures are within 0.5–3.5%, which justifies the correctness of the simulation method proposed in present study.

Abstract The non-uniform temperature distribution of the main reflector of a large radio telescope may cause serious deformation of the main reflector, which will dramatically reduce the aperture efficiency of a radio telescope. To study the non-uniform temperature field of the main reflector of a large radio telescope, numerical calculations including thermal environment factors, the coefficients on convection and radiation, and the shadow boundary of the main reflector are first discussed. In addition, the shadow coverage and the non-uniform temperature field of the main reflector of a 70-m radio telescope under solar radiation are simulated by finite element analysis. The simulation results show that the temperature distribution of the main reflector under solar radiation is very uneven, and the maximum of the root mean square temperature is 12.3°C. To verify the simulation results, an optical camera and a thermal imaging camera are used to measure the shadow coverage and the non-uniform temperature distribution of the main reflector on a clear day. At the same time, some temperature sensors are used to measure the temperature at some points close to the main reflector on the backup structure. It has been verified that the simulation and measurement results of the shadow coverage on the main reflector are in good agreement, and the cosine similarity between the simulation and the measurement is above 90%. Despite the inevitable thermal imaging errors caused by large viewing angles, the simulated temperature field is similar to the measured temperature distribution of the main reflector to a large extent. The temperature trend measured at the test points on the backup structure close to the main reflector without direct solar radiation is consistent with the simulated temperature trend of the corresponding points on the main reflector with the solar radiation. It is credible to calculate the temperature field of the main reflector through the finite element method. This work can provide valuable references for studying the thermal deformation and the surface accuracy of the main reflector of a large radio telescope.

For the first time, a method based on the registration of polarization and depolarization currents arising in wood in a non-uniform temperature field was used to study the properties of cellulose. The purpose of the method used is to record the relaxation of bound charges with a change in the temperature of the sample under study. It is shown that the detected low-temperature transitions have a crystal-crystal polarization mechanism, and the natural polymer cellulose is an active dielectric.

Aiming at the problems of composites of anisotropic, poor in dimensional and uneven temperature field in the designing of composite tool in autoclave, the techniques of designing the composite tool of aircraft components were constructed, involving in the following aspects: Taking advantage of design flexibility of composites, the thermal expansion coefficient between the moulding board and composite components matched. By analyzing the cure process curve of fiber-reinforced composites, the result that the crisis point without stress between component and tool, which the shape of composite component decided was concluded. By the temperature field analysis, and contrasted with the experimental results, the maximum difference was 4.95°C,after analysis, optimized the structure of the tool, obtaining the relatively uniform temperature field of the board.

In the present paper a role of the smallest diffusive scales of a passive scalar field in the near-wall turbulent flow was examined with pseudo-spectral numerical simulations. Temperature fields were analyzed at friction Reynolds number Reτ = 170.8 and at Prandtl number, Pr = 5.4. Results of direct numerical simulation (DNS) were compared with the under-resolved simulation where the velocity field was still resolved with the DNS accuracy, while a coarser grid was used to describe the temperature field. Since the smallest temperature scales remained unresolved in this simulation, an appropriate spectral turbulent thermal diffusivity was applied to avoid pileup at higher wave numbers. In spite of coarser numerical grid, the temperature field is still highly correlated with the DNS results, and thus point to practically negligible role of the diffusive temperature scales on the macroscopic behavior of the turbulent heat transfer.
