To deal with the effect of compressible fluids on the supercavitating flow over the subsonic disk cavitator of a projectile, a finite volume method is formulated based on the ideal compressible potential theory. By using the continuity equation and Tait state equation as well as Riabouchinsky closure model, an “inverse problem” solution is presented for the supercavitating flow. According to the impenetrable condition on the surface of supercavity, a new iterative method for the supercavity shape is designed to deal with the effect of compressibility on the supercavity shape, pressure drag coefficient and density field. By this method, the very low cavitation number can be computed. The calculated results agree well with the experimental data and empirical formula. At the subsonic condition, the fluid compressibility will make supercavity length and radius increase. The supercavity expands, but remains spheroid. The effect on the first 1/3 part of supercavity is not obvious. The drag coefficient of projectile increases as the cavitation number or Mach number increases. With Mach number increasing, the compressibility is more and more significant. The compressibility must be considered as far as the accurate calculation of supercavitating flow is concerned. 相似文献
This paper studies the impact of removing the level crossing, which constitutes traffic hazard to the society, on house prices by conducting a quasi-natural experiment using the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) implemented by the Victoria state government in Australia since 2015. Using a difference-in-differences method, we analyzed the changes in housing prices due to the improvement of transportation infrastructure, gauging the LXRP’s impact on house and unit submarkets separately. We found that the prices for house and unit markets increased significantly after the removal of level crossings, with the value uplift decreasing with distance from the removal site. This paper contributes to the existing literature by adding an empirical study related to the enhancement of infrastructure aiming to improve the traffic safety in the urban context. Unlike previous studies, this study examines the effect of improvement projects for existing infrastructure and provides relevant implications to improve the efficiency of investing public resources in infrastructure improvement.

In contrast with reviews of values of time and price elasticities, the literature contains little by way of detailed reviews
of travel time based choice and demand elasticities. This paper reports the most extensive meta-analysis of time-based demand
elasticities yet undertaken, supplemented with a review of literature not previously in the public domain. The meta-analysis
is based upon 427 direct elasticities covering travel time, generalised journey time (GJT) and service headway and drawn from
69 UK studies. The elasticities are found to vary, as expected, across attributes, and quite strong effects have been detected
according to distance. We provide interesting insights into the relationship between long and short run elasticities and elasticities
obtained from static models and choice models based on actual and hypothetical preferences. Significantly, the results seem
to indicate that the duration for the long run demand impact to work through depends upon the periodicity of the model estimated.
There is little variation apparent by journey purpose, source of the evidence, nor over time or by region/flow type, whilst
travel time elasticities for high speed rail are not materially different from conventional contexts. The findings support
some official elasticity recommendations and conventions but challenge others, and can be used to provide time-based elasticities
where none exist or to assess new empirical evidence. 相似文献
