Phase change analysis of an underwater glider propelled by the ocean's thermal energy

The phase change characteristic of the power source of an underwater glider propelled by the ocean's thermal energy is the key factor in glider attitude control. A numerical model has been established based on the enthalpy method to analyze the phase change heat transfer process under convective boundary conditions. Phase change is not an isothermal process,but one that occurs at a range of temperature. The total melting time of the material is very sensitive to the surrounding temperature. When the temperature of the surroundings decreases 8 degrees,the total melting time increases 1.8 times. But variations in surrounding temperature have little effect on the initial temperature of phase change,and the slope of the temperature time history curve remains the same. However,the temperature at which phase change is completed decreases significantly. Our research shows that the phase change process is also affected by container size,boundary conditions,and the power source's cross sectional area. Materials stored in 3 cylindrical containers with a diameter of 38mm needed the shortest phase change time. Our conclusions should be helpful in effective design of underwater glider power systems.     

The use of gait parameters to evaluate pedestrian behavior at scramble phase signalized intersections

Pedestrian scramble phasing is usually implemented to reduce pedestrian‐vehicle conflicts and therefore increase the safety of the intersection. However, to adequately determine the benefits of scramble phasing, it is necessary to understand how pedestrians react to such an unconventional design. This study investigates changes in pedestrian crossing behavior following the implementation of a scramble phase by examining the spatiotemporal gait parameters (step length and step frequency). This detailed microscopic‐level analysis provides insight into changes in pedestrian walking mechanisms as well as the effect of various pedestrian and intersection characteristics. The study uses video data collected at a scramble phase signalized intersection in Oakland, California. Gait parameters were found to be influenced by pedestrian gender, age, group size, crosswalk length, and pedestrian signal indications. Both average step length and walking speed were significantly higher for diagonally crossing pedestrians compared with pedestrians crossing on the conventional crosswalks. Pedestrians were found to have the tendency to increase their step length more than their step frequency to increase walking speed. It was also found that, compared with men, women generally increase their walking speed by increasing their step frequency more than step length. However, when in non‐compliance with signal indications, women increase their walking speed by increasing their step length more than step frequency. It was also found that older pedestrians do not significantly change their walking behavior when in non‐compliance with signal indications. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

考虑相变过程岩体孔隙率对寒区隧道温度场时空规律影响研究

为研究寒区隧道围岩在持续低温作用或冻融循环作用过程中,考虑岩体相变过程中多相体各组分变化引起的岩石热学参数差异对围岩温度场时空变化规律的影响,利用已有岩体未冻水含量研究成果,进一步推导不同孔隙率下岩体的热学参数计算公式。基于多孔介质模型建立考虑相变过程的围岩温度场计算模型,分析考虑潜热时不同孔隙率下围岩冻结缘的空间形态变化规律,及相变过程对温度场的影响。研究结果表明： 1）饱和岩体孔隙率越高,对岩体整体热学参数影响越大; 2）低温持续作用围岩时,冻结缘向围岩深处移动并不断变宽,其宽度与其深度呈线性关系; 3）饱和围岩孔隙率对冻结缘移动速度影响较大,但对其宽度基本无影响; 4）由于相变潜热,岩体在冻融循环过程中围岩温度时程曲线出现不对称阶梯状形态,且其阶梯形状宽度与围岩孔隙率呈正相关; 5）冻融循环过程中,升温及降温过程中冻结缘临近岩体温度梯度存在差异引起的传热效率不同直接导致升温、降温时程曲线的不对称性特征出现; 6）沿硐室围岩径向向外,各处围岩体的温度时程函数与加载的温度函数存在着振幅衰减和相位滞后的现象,且岩体孔隙率越高该现象越明显。     

船舶动力定位自适应滤波器设计

传统的陷波滤波器虽然能够很好的滤除一阶高频海浪波,但是滤波的同时也使得信号产生了相位滞后,在时域里面的表现就是信号的延时.卡尔曼滤波器虽然能够解决这一问题,但是其非常依赖于船舶模型.本文针对传统陷波滤波器的缺陷,使用了一种积分补偿型陷波滤波器,对传统的陷波滤波器进行改进.并以某拖轮为仿真对象进行仿真实验,其结果表明,该滤波器不但能够很好的滤除高频海浪波,还能够保持很好的相位特性.同时,递推的最小二乘估计(RLS)方法能够实时的估计出海浪的主导波频,使得陷波滤波器具有很好的自适应性.

平行流交叉口行人过街控制策略研究

为解决平行流交叉口行人与机动车冲突问题,考虑行人与机动车在冲突点为寻找间隙穿越的交替穿插的抢行博弈过程,重新设计行人过街信号相位方案,提出人车搭接相位行人过街模式;考虑行人专用相位过街模式,给出两种行人过街模式的信号控制策略;构建优化模型,并对模型等价变换,降低计算复杂度.结果显示：常规交叉口处于高饱和状态时,两种行人过街模式下平行流交叉口分别降低了73.8%、50.3%的车均延误,故人车搭接相位过街模式效益更优;人车搭接相位过街模式与不考虑行人过街模式相比,交叉口车均延误仅增加 0.6~3.8 s⋅ pcu-1 .研究成果可为平行流交叉口行人信号配时提供理论依据.
