3D numerical modeling of wave forces on tandem fixed cylinders using the BEM

In this paper a 3D numerical model was developed to study the complicated interaction between waves and a set of tandem fixed cylinders.The fluid was considered to be inviscid and irrotational.Therefore,the Helmholtz equation was used as a governing equation.The boundary element method（BEM） was adopted to discretize the relevant equations.Open boundaries were used in far fields of the study domain.Linear waves were generated and propagated towards tandem fixed cylinders to estimate the forces applied on them.Special attention was paid to consideration of the effect on varying non-dimensional cylinder radius and distance between cylinders,ka and kd on forces and trapped modes.The middle cylinder wave forces and trapped modes in a set of nine tandem cylinders were validated utilizing analytical data.The comparisons confirm the accuracy of the model.The results of the inline wave force estimation on n tandem cylinders show that the critical cylinder in the row is the middle one for odd numbers of cylinders.Furthermore the results show that the critical trapped mode effect occurs for normalized cylinder radiuses close to 0.5 and 1.0.Finally the force estimation for n tandem cylinders confirms that force amplitude of the middle cylinder versus normalized separation distance fluctuates about that of a single cylinder.     

Capacity-constrained traffic forecasting model

Projecting future traffic is an important stage in any traffic and transportation planning study. Accurate traffic forecasting is vital for transportation planning, highway safety evaluation, traffic operations analysis, and geometric and pavement design among others. In view of its importance, this paper introduces a regression-based traffic forecasting methodology for a one dimensional capacity-constrained highway. Five different prediction functions are tested; the best was selected according to the accuracy of projections against historical traffic data. The three-parameter logistic function produced more accurate projections compared to other functions tested when highway capacity constraints were taken into consideration. The R ² values at various test locations ranged from 88% to 98%, indicating good prediction capability. Using the Fisher's information matrix approach, the t-statistic test showed all parameters in the logistic function were highly statistically significant. To evaluate reliability of projections, predictive intervals were calculated at a 95% level of confidence. Predictions using the logistic function were also compared to those predicted using the compound growth rate and linear regression methods. The results show that the proposed methodology generates much more reasonable projections than current practices.

沥青分子聚集状态变化特征研究

为研究沥青的化学结构特征,根据沥青组分溶解度参数和极性的不同,将沥青分为沥青质、胶质、油分3个组分,分别采用一个典型分子模型代表沥青的每一个组分,构建2种沥青分子模型,采用分子动力学模拟方法对沥青分子聚集状态变化特征进行分析.结果表明:由于π-π效应,沥青质分子之间形成层状堆积现象,但较长烷烃链造成芳环间扭转角增大,阻碍层状堆积现象的形成;随着温度升高,芳环间扭转角增大,沥青质分子之间的层状堆积结构被破坏,形成穿插或垂直排列结构;在沥青分子模型中,胶质和油分分子的存在使沥青质分子间的距离大于沥青质分子模型中的距离,也使沥青质分子间形成的聚集结构趋于稳定;沥青质与胶质分子形成聚集结构,分散在油分中,沥青质分子结构对沥青能否形成稳定胶体结构具有重要影响.
