Slamming against the wet deck of a multihull vessel in head sea waves is studied analytically and numerically. The theoretical slamming model is a two-dimensional, asymptotic method valid for small local angles between the undisturbed water surface and the wet deck in the impact region. The disturbance of the water surface as well as the local hydroelastic effects in the slamming area are accounted for. The elastic deflections of the wet deck are expressed in terms of "dry" normal modes. The structural formu­lation accounts for the shear deformations and the rotatory inertia effects in the wet deck. The findings show that the slamming loads on the wet deck and the resulting elastic stresses in the wet deck are strongly influenced by the elasticity of the wet deck structure.

Using an acoustic model for the full elastic problem, the early times of the two-dimensional impact of a disc on a rigid plane, or impact between two identical discs, are analysed. We examine some aspects of wave propagation during the impact process and specify stress distributions near the impact region. Unlike the impact of two spheres for which the quasi-static local contact approach of Hertz is well adapted, a complete dynamical approach is necessary for the dynamic contact of two discs. At short times after impact, we show the existence of supersonic effects and we determine the shape of the corresponding stress waves that travel from the impact region through the unstressed body. During the supersonic phase, the contact region grows faster than the speed of sound and the surface outside the contact region is undisturbed. We then solve the transition from supersonic to subsonic regimes and determine the stress distribution near the impact region. Finally, we discuss some physical implications of these results.

Abstract. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, scheduled for launch in 2020, will provide a step-change improvement in the measurement of terrestrial surface-water storage and dynamics. In particular, it will provide the first, routine two-dimensional measurements of water-surface elevations. In this paper, we aimed to (i) characterise and illustrate in two dimensions the errors which may be found in SWOT swath measurements of terrestrial surface water, (ii) simulate the spatio-temporal sampling scheme of SWOT for the Amazon, and (iii) assess the impact of each of these on estimates of water-surface slope and river discharge which may be obtained from SWOT imagery. We based our analysis on a virtual mission for a ~260 km reach of the central Amazon (Solimões) River, using a hydraulic model to provide water-surface elevations according to SWOT spatio-temporal sampling to which errors were added based on a two-dimensional height error spectrum derived from the SWOT design requirements. We thereby obtained water-surface elevation measurements for the Amazon main stem as may be observed by SWOT. Using these measurements, we derived estimates of river slope and discharge and compared them to those obtained directly from the hydraulic model. We found that cross-channel and along-reach averaging of SWOT measurements using reach lengths greater than 4 km for the Solimões and 7.5 km for Purus reduced the effect of systematic height errors, enabling discharge to be reproduced accurately from the water height, assuming known bathymetry and friction. Using cross-sectional averaging and 20 km reach lengths, results show Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency values of 0.99 for the Solimões and 0.88 for the Purus, with 2.6 and 19.1 % average overall error in discharge, respectively. We extend the results to other rivers worldwide and infer that SWOT-derived discharge estimates may be more accurate for rivers with larger channel widths (permitting a greater level of cross-sectional averaging and the use of shorter reach lengths) and higher water-surface slopes (reducing the proportional impact of slope errors on discharge calculation).

: Increasing energy crisis across the globe requires immediate solutions. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are in great significance because of its application in energy storage and conversion devices but the production process significantly impacts the environment thereby posing a severe problem in the field of pollution control. Green synthesis method provides an eminent way of reduction in pollutants. This article reviews the importance of green synthesis in the energy application sector. The focus of 2D materials like graphene, MoS2, VS2 in energy storage and conversion devices are emphasized based on supporting recent reports. The emerging Li-ion batteries are widely reviewed along with their promising alternatives like Zn, Na, Mg batteries and are featured in detail. The impact of green methods in the energy application field are outlined. Moreover, future outlook in the energy sector is envisioned by proposing an increase in 2D elemental materials research.

This paper presents direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) numerical investigation of the dynamic behavior of a gas film in a microbeam. The microbeam undergoes large amplitude harmonic motion between its equilibrium position and the fixed substrate underneath. Unlike previous work in literature, the beam undergoes large displacements throughout the film gap thickness and the behavior of the gas film along with its impact on the moving microstructure (force exerted by gas on the beam's front and back faces) is discussed. Since the gas film thickness is of the order of few microns (i.e., 0.01 < Kn < 1), the rarefied gas exists in the noncontinuum regime and, as such, the DSMC method is used to simulate the fluid behavior. The impact of the squeeze film on the beam is investigated over a range of frequencies and velocity amplitudes, corresponding to ranges of dimensionless flow parameters such as the Reynolds, Strouhal, and Mach numbers on the gas film behavior. Moreover, the behavior of compressibility pressure waves as a function of these dimensionless groups is discussed for different simulation case studies.

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Grinding

In this paper, the characteristic of grinding force in two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding nano-ceramic was studied by experiment based on indentation fracture mechanics, and mathematical model of grinding force was established. The study shows that grinding force mainly result from the impact of the grains on the workpiece in ultrasonic grinding, and the pulse power is much larger than normal grinding force. The ultrasonic vibration frequency is so high and the contact time of grains with the workpiece is so short that the pulse force will be balanced by reaction force from workpiece. In grinding workpiece was loaded by the periodical stress field, which accelerates the fatigue fracture.

The Impact

The impact of a spherical water drop onto a water surface has been studied experimentally with the aid of a 35 mm drum camera giving high-resolution images that provided qualitative and quantitative data on the phenomena. Scaling laws for the time to reach maximum cavity sizes have been derived and provide a good fit to the experimental results. Transitions between the regimes for coalescence-only, the formation of a high-speed jet and bubble entrapment have been delineated. The high-speed jet was found to occur without bubble entrapment. This was caused by the rapid retraction of the trough formed by a capillary wave converging to the centre of the cavity base. The converging capillary wave has a profile similar to a Crapper wave. A plot showing the different regimes of cavity and impact drop behaviour in the Weber–Froude number-plane has been constructed for Fr and We less than 1000.

The practical requirements of the project the nozzle entrance temperature is high, the gas specific heat ratio varies greatly, so it must consider the specific heat ratio change impact on two-dimensional nozzle contour design. Divided into consideration specific heat ratio change and not consider two kinds of scheme design of 1.4Ma nozzle profile and build the model using the arc line method, numerical simulation is carried out through the CFD software Fluent, analysis of two kinds of design scheme comparison. The results show that, in the supersonic nozzle at low Maher numbers, two schemes of nozzle design profile similarity, parameters change little flow tube, export the Maher number and the flow quality can meet the design requirements, proof of specific heat ratio has little effect on the design results in the design of the nozzle under the condition of low Maher number.
