摘要Internal solitary waves(ISWs)are an essential dynamic process in the ocean due to their large amplitude and long propagation distance.Traditional satellite observations provide only twodimensional observations of ocean signatures induced by ISWs.The Surface Water and Ocean Topography(SWOT)satellite has drawn significant attention due to its high resolution and threedimensional observation capabilities.SWOT can generate high-precision three-dimensional sea surface topography,capture sea surface undulations,and reveal ISW-related surface oscillations,thus offering a new perspective for studying ISWs.We collected 43 SWOT observations with clear ISW signatures in the Lombok Strait from August 2023 to June 2024.Based on collected data,the ISW imaging characteristics and distributions were analyzed,and the ISW-related sea level anomaly(SLA)data were measured by the SWOT to calculate the ISW amplitude and reveal the amplitude variations during the propagation along the wave crest.The ISW amplitudes generally range between 10 and 100 m,with most ISW amplitudes between 20 and 40 m.By analyzing two consecutive generated ISW packets,we identified the spreading effect along ISW wave crests,which manifests as ISW amplitude decrease with increase in propagation distance,and the amplitude distribution is non-uniform along the wave crest.Further analysis of the propagation paths of the maximum amplitude of ISW moving northward through the Lombok Strait revealed that these maxima are predominantly oriented in northeast direction.Finally,the relationship between the amplitude of ISW and the resulting SLA was analyzed.The Pearson correlation coefficient between these two variables is as high as 0.90,which suggests a strong positive correlation between amplitude and SLA.Furthermore,this relationship is closely related to the water depth,indicating that the three-dimensional sea surface observations provided by SWOT offer crucial observational data for the inversion of amplitudes of ISW.

摘要As the key equipment connecting the feeding belt to the top of blast furnace,the structure of the hoppers directly affects the burden distribution in blast furnace throat.Therefore,it is of great significance to explore the suitable structure of the hoppers to optimize the burden and gas distribution of the blast furnace and improve the gas utilization rate.A three-dimensional model of a 1:1 bell-less top blast furnace with serial-type hoppers was established based on the discrete element method,which simulates the entire movement process of the burden from the belt to each hopper and then to the throat.The effects of internal components,such as the distributor,guiding cone,and buffer platform,on particle size segregation in the upper hopper,the weighing hopper,and the throat of the blast furnace were investigated.The results indicate that removing the distributor can reduce the burden segregation during the discharge from the weighing hopper.The guiding cone significantly influences the radial particle size distribution within the weighing hopper and its discharge.Eliminating the buffer platform promotes a more uniform burden distribution both in the weighing hopper and the throat of the blast furnace.Among the conditions investigated,removing the distributor and the buffer platform yields the best distribution,with the segregation index improved by 92%compared to the base model,which is recommended for practical operations.

摘要Internal oxidation has been identified as an effective method for enhancing the strength of AgMg alloys.However,the concurrent occurrence of embrittlement remains inadequately understood,thus limiting their broader application.This study investigates the oxidation behavior of AgMg alloys with Mg concentrations ranging from 1 at% to 7 at% at 800 ℃,revealing a composition-dependent evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties.The oxidation process results in the formation of two distinct zones:a Mg/O solid solution zone (Mg/O SSZ),characterized by~3 nm Mg/O clusters,and an internal oxide band zone (IOBZ),where nanocrystalline MgO stripes emerge at Mg concentrations of 2 at%or higher.The Mg/O SSZ is responsible for substantial strengthening,with surface hardness increasing from 74 HV (as-cast) to 224 HV at 7 at %Mg,and tensile strength rising from less than 50 MPa (pure Ag) to 269 MPa at 1 at%Mg.In contrast,the development of MgO stripes within the IOBZ induces localized stress concentrations at incoherent MgO/Ag interfaces,resulting in embrittlement and a reduction in mechanical performance at higher Mg contents.The oxidation kinetics deviate progressively from Wagner's theory with increasing Mg concentration,as the formation of MgO stripes impedes oxygen transport,decreasing the oxidation rate from 7.83µm s-1/2at 1 at% Mg to 0.69µm s-1/2at 7 at% Mg.These results elucidate a compositionally tunable balance between nanoscale cluster-driven strengthening and oxide stripe-induced embrittlement,providing a mechanistic framework for the design of high-performance AgMg alloys for structural and electronic applications.
摘要Transmedium vehicles are characterised by high flexibility and strong attack capability,which makes them a key area of current research.However,the transition between air and water remains a critical outstanding issue.The ramjet integrated air–water engine designed in this study is effective and stable in both air and water modes and shows a high degree of adaptability.Using three-dimensional numerical simulations,this study investigates the impact of intake configurations and environmental pressure variations on engine performance,with a focus on the distribution of internal flow field parameters and performance changes during the transition process.The results show that,although the secondary air intake configuration in air mode effectively improves the engine thrust,it causes the front part of the engine to overheat,resulting in a reduction in overall power.The primary intake configuration is more favorable for ensuring a safe transition.During the descent of a vehicle from high altitude,the pressure of the engine's exhaust tailpipe gradually increases,and the combustion products move to the front of the engine,resulting in a significant loss of power.The entire air–water transition process takes 0.3 s.To ensure the stable transition of the engine's thrust,this paper proposes a preloaded oxidizer supply control scheme,which injects the preloaded oxidizer within 0.012 s after transition,opens the water intake at 0.205 s,and achieves the engine's design performance for underwater mode at 0.3 s,after which the oxidizer injection is stopped.This scheme significantly improves the efficiency of the transition process and enhances engine stability.The results of this study provide theoretical support for the design and optimization of air–water transition in transmedium ramjet engines.

摘要Addressing the scientific problem of unclear understanding of in-situ internal stress and its evolution in deep rock masses,a scientific definition and implementation path for the concept of in-situ internal stress consolidation-sealing in deep rock masses are proposed,and a set of in-situ internal stress consolidationsealing test device for deep rock masses has been independently developed.The device consists of a material consolidation cultivation module,an in-situ internal stress environment simulation module,and a multi-source information capture module.And the three mechanical tests of internal stress preservation,internal stress release and conventional were carried out with the device.The evolution law of the deformation parameters in the internal stress consolidation-sealing stage was studied,and the difference characteristics of the deformation parameters before and after the internal stress releasing were compared and analyzed.The results show that the internal stress consolidation-sealing significantly affects the mechanical properties of the simulated rock material,while the internal stress release leads to the damage of the material properties,suggesting that the presence and influence of internal stress should not be overlooked.This study could provide a new research direction and scientific devices for the expansion and deepening of the field of deep in-situ rock mechanics.

摘要Energy transfers among internal waves in the northern South China Sea are not well characterized,particularly during typhoons,owing to the lack of in situ observations.Based on high-resolution mooring data collected during Typhoon Trami(2024),this study reveals the occurrence of robust vertical energy redistribution among diurnal internal tides(D1 ITs)and near-inertial waves(NIWs).Strikingly,the typhoon not only amplified the NIW energy but also triggered an unexpected surge in the D1 IT energy.The observed average net energy transfer rate of 1×10-7 W kg−1 from typhoon-forced NIWs to D1 ITs occurred at water depths of 120-170 m.Further bispectral analysis indicated that the energy transfer is driven by nonlinear wave—wave interaction.These results reveal the existence of a new energy transfer pathway—from atmospheric forcing to D1 ITs—and redefine the redistribution of the internal wave energy during extreme weather events.

摘要This study investigates the strong heterogeneity and complex internal architecture of carbonate reservoirs,using the Cretaceous Main Mishrif Formation in the Middle East as an example.A multi-scale characterization of sedimentary architecture is conducted based on reservoir genetic analysis.Quantitative calibration of well logs with core thin sections enables semi-quantitative evaluation of dissolution intensity in non-cored intervals.Within a coupled depositional-diagenetic framework,reservoir classification is established with depositional-diagenetic facies as the linking framework,allowing delineation of their spatial distribution and connectivity.The results show that three types of architectural units are developed in the Main Mishrif Formation,including tidal channels,bioclastic shoals,and tidal bioclastic deltas,which exhibit fining-upward,coarsening-upward,and coarsening-upward–fining-upward successions,respectively.These units form two composite stacking patterns,namely the“encapsulated”pattern and the“upper-lower”pattern.A dissolution intensity index is defined based on thin-section analysis,and a log-based prediction model is developed using principal component analysis and multivariate regression.Dissolution in the MB2 sub-member is controlled by third-order sequence boundaries,with strong dissolution occurring from MC1-1 to MB2-1,forming high-permeability zones across architectural units.In contrast,dissolution in the MB1 sub-member is controlled by high-frequency sequences,with stronger dissolution in the upper intervals,favoring the development of high-permeability zones.By combining depositional and dissolution characteristics,a total of 21 depositional-diagenetic facies are identified,and the distributions of high-permeability zones,high-quality,moderate,and poor reservoirs,as well as interlayers are systematically characterized.These findings provide a geological basis for stratified reservoir development,well pattern optimization,and remaining oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs,and are promising for the characterization of giant thick carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East and Central Asia.

摘要Despite significant progress in fuel cell technology,its large-scale industrial application is still challenged by the frequently encountered performance failure during long-term operation.Clarifying the failure mechanism is the key to extending the lifecycle and enhancing stability.Herein,we have developed a time and space resolved multi-field characterization,including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,to unveil its underlying mechanism.With this operando and non-destructive characterization,the dynamic evolution of the internal mass transport,heat,and electricity field distribution is fully depicted within an industrial-scale fuel cell in operation.Thus,it is revealed that hydrogen starvation occurs in the outlet region due to the excessive hydrogen consumption during the loading-down process.This can induce local low current density and carbon corrosion,which may subsequently cause severe damage to the structure of the catalyst layer and membrane,ultimately leading to performance failure.With this understanding,we further identify a descriptor for early diagnosis to prevent any potential degradation.The methodology is of significance,which can bring fuel cell technology a step further towards industrial applications.

摘要This paper delves into the H∞optimal output regulation problem for continuous-time linear systems with an unknown system model.By integrating the internal model principle with optimal control,we derive an optimal control policy and a worst-case disturbance policy through the formulation and solution of a zero-sum game problem.Subsequently,leveraging adaptive dynamic programming,we propose a policy iteration learning algorithm capable of learning both the optimal control policy and the worst-case disturbance policy directly from system data.The existing algorithms necessitate an initial stabilizing policy,a full-rank condition,and the storage of historical data to guarantee algorithm convergence.In contrast,we design a dual policy iteration algorithm equipped with an online learning mechanism,thereby eliminating these additional prerequisites.Simulation results with an antonomous ground vehicle underscore the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm,and its superiority is further demonstrated through comparisons with existing methodologies.
摘要Cooperative coupling of photocatalytic hydrogen generation with oxidative organic synthesis is promising in simultaneously producing sustainable energy and value-added chemicals.However,the photocatalytic activity is constrained by restricted redox potentials and insufficient photocarrier separation and transfer.Herein,we construct S-scheme heterojunctions based on metal-doped ZnIn2S4 and covalent organic frameworks,denoted as M-ZIS/TpPa-1(M=Ni or Mo).Theoretical calculations demonstrated that Mo-ZIS possess optimum H adsorption Gibbs free energies,deeper downshift of sulfur p-band center and higher integrated crystal orbital Hamilton population(ICOHP)value than Ni-ZIS and ZIS to optimize H adsorption/desorption dynamics.Besides,metal-doping reasonably enhanced the interfacial charge transfer in heterostructures,identifying the enlarged internal electric field(IEF)in Mo-ZIS/TpPa-1 than Ni-ZIS/TpPa-1 and ZIS/TpPa-1.Moreover,experimental explorations of photoelectrochemical measurements,femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy,in-situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance verified the facilitated photocarrier separation and migration in metal-doped S-scheme heterojunctions.Ultimately,Mo0.01-ZIS/TpPa-1 exhibited visible-light driven H2 evolution rate of 1648μmol g-1 h-1 and N-benzylidenebenzylamine formation rate of 1812μmol g-1 h-1,better than Ni0.048-ZIS/TpPa-1,and superior to parent ZIS/TpPa-1.This work might provide insights into the modulation of H adsorption/desorption behavior and IEF within S-scheme heterostructures via rational metal-doping strategy for efficient dual-functional photocatalysis.

摘要A recurrent phenomenon is the reappearance of distress conditions on the same road section,both before and after maintenance interventions.The maintenance work essentially addresses the superficial symptoms rather than the root causes,since the internal relationships between various forms of distress remain unclear.This study quantitatively evaluates the correlation between surface distress and internal defects based on field detection data and statistical methods,effectively complementing existing qualitative analytical method.Approximately 200 defect locations data were collected from the RIOHTrack full-scale ring road,and targeted evaluation metrics reflecting pavement performance were proposed.Then,the Ripley's K-function was employed to analyze the spatial aggregation of surface and internal cracks,and to further verify their macroscopic correlation during the spatio-temporal evolution process.Next,kernel density estimation and relative risk assessment were used to investigate the relationships between the surface distress and internal defects.Experimental results reveal that the loading position significantly affects surface distress,but exhibits no obvious correlation with hidden damage,and there is also no spatial aggregation phenomenon between them.However,for semi-rigid base asphalt pavement,internal cracks and surface cracks show a strong correlation,while demonstrating only a weak association with loading position.Finally,a sensitivity analysis was performed based on the results obtained at different distance thresholds,and r=0.5 m was designated as the optimal spatial correlation distance threshold.This threshold was then used to determine the pavement structure offering the best crack resistance performance,providing a key reference for the design and maintenance of heavy-duty highway pavements.This study provides a reference for road active maintenance and supports the transformation of maintenance strategies from passive response to active intervention.

摘要This study conducts a comprehensive numerical investigation of magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)mixed convection and entropy generation in a two-dimensional square cavity filled with a ternary hybrid nanofluid.The working fluid consists of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes(MWCNT),Copper(Cu),and Ferric Oxide(Fe3O4)nanoparticles dispersed in water,selected for their superior thermal properties.Two vertically aligned,saw-toothshaped cooling structures are embedded along the left and right walls of the cavity,with four distinct configurations considered based on their vertical positioning.An externally imposed uniform magnetic field is applied to assess its influence on fluid flow,heat transfer,and thermodynamic irreversibility.The governing nonlinear partial differential equations accounting for mass,momentum,energy,and entropy generation are solved using the Finite Volume Method(FVM)in conjunction with a Full Multigrid Algorithm to enhance computational efficiency.The study systematically examines the effects of key dimensionless parameters,including the Hartmann number(Ha),Richardson number(Ri),Reynolds number(Re),nanoparticle volume fraction(φ),and structural configuration,on flow dynamics,thermal performance,and entropy generation.The results provide valuable insights into the optimization of heat transfer systems through geometrical and thermophysical enhancements under MHD conditions.Results reveal that among the configurations studied,the position(P3)configuration featuring asymmetrical placement of the internal saw-tooth cooling structures demonstrates the highest thermal performance,achieving an average Nusselt number of 63.698 at a nanoparticle volume fraction ofφ=12%and Richardson numbers in the range of Ri=60-80.This superior performance is attributed to enhanced convective mixing and optimal disruption of thermal boundary layers without excessive entropy generation.

摘要Graphitic carbon nitride(CN)exhibits enormous potential in addressing the global energy crisis and environmental issues,while poor charge behavior and insufficient light harvesting capability significantly impede its practical applications.Herein,CN with strong internal electric field and activated n-π* electron transitions was synthesized through one-pot thermal copolymerization of urea and 4,4-Bis(diethylphosphonomethyl)biphenyl.The integrated donor-acceptor structure induces powerful internal electric field,enhancing exciton dissociation efficiency and accelerating charge carrier transport.Simultaneously,n-π* electron transitions are successfully activated by lone pair electrons of phosphorus atoms,broadening the photo-response-range up to 500 nm.The above merits endow the optimal sample 45-BCN with boosted activity,achieving 100%photodegradation efficiency for tetracycline(TC)within 40 min and significantly enhanced nitrogen fixation efficiency(about 5 times that of CN).Furthermore,the toxicity of photocatalytic-generated intermediates of TC was significantly alleviated according to the Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship model prediction and mung bean growth experiments.This work offers valuable insights into the construction of cost-effective,high-efficiency and environmental-friendly CN photocatalysts for mitigating water pollution and enabling solar-driven nitrogen fixation.

摘要Current analytical methods for predicting the lateral deformation of diaphragm walls require complex calculation processes,including numerous parameters with uncertain accuracy,which are difficult to use in practical engineering applications.In this study,we propose a novel analytical approach for calculating diaphragm wall deformation.First,a differential element moment balance method for calculating earth pressure is proposed using a simplified calculation.The excavation effect on the sliding wedge and multiple factors of the ground were considered.Subsequently,the work performed by the earth pressure and internal support structure was calculated.Based on plate theory,a calculation model for the diaphragm wall deformation was established,accounting for the interaction between the ground and internal support structure.Finally,the analytical model was solved using the principle of minimum potential energy and the Ritz method.The proposed method was validated by comparing field measurement data with numerical simulations.A parametric study was conducted to explore the sensitivities of the influencing factors on the lateral deformation of the diaphragm wall,from which a design scheme for the diaphragm wall was presented under the given deformation control standard.

摘要This study examines the interaction between internal solitary waves(ISWs)and an elliptical submersible based on the eKdV theory.The numerical model’s accuracy is validated through comparison of force calculations on a single cylinder with experimental data.Analysis reveals significant hydrodynamic characteristics around the elliptical submersible.The findings demonstrate that vertical positioning and elevation angle substantially influence wave loads on the submersible.At various vertical positions,uniform distribution of elevated hydrodynamic pressure may result in submersible disintegration.Submersibles with±30°elevation angles experience greater total moments,increasing their susceptibility to capsizing.The maximum horizontal force increases by factors ranging from 1.46 to 8.81 when the submersible is inclined between−30°and 30°.The interface exhibits negative vorticity accumulation due to shear effects between upper and lower fluids.Submersible inclination leads to increased surrounding velocity and vorticity.

摘要The global expansion of lithium-ion battery production necessitates a thorough investigation into its greenhouse gas emissions.Based on SimaPro software and the Ecoinvent database,this study employs the IPCC GWP 100a and CML-IA baseline methodologies to analyse the carbon emissions and environmental impacts of electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles throughout a 200,000 km service life,covering both production and use phases.Results indicate that emissions during the power systems production phase originate primarily from cathode materials and aluminium,with electricity consumption contributing 23.5%-39.4%.During the use phase,the three vehicle types generate 35,652-50,809 kg CO2-eq,with the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide(NCM811)vehicle achieving the carbon break-even point faster than the lithium iron phosphate(LFP)vehicle under the current energy mix.Projections based on China's 2060 energy mix indicate a 21.5%-31.0%reduction in battery production carbon emissions and a 71.1%-84.5% decrease in the break-even distance,at which point the LFP vehicle outperforms the NCM811.These findings provide critical insights for optimizing electric vehicle battery production and supporting carbon neutrality goals.
