An effort is made to implement the phenomenon called the Aerodynamic Pressure Thrust (APT) for the purpose of effective propulsion of underwater vehicle. The two-dimensional Goldschmied body with boundary-layer ingestion near the stern section is considered for this purpose. This particular shape, which up to this point is being considered mainly for aerodynamic propulsion, can be preferred for autonomous underwater vehicles over conventional streamlined bodies for their large volume-to-length ratio. The wind-tunnel experiments of 1960's by Fabio R. Goldschmied paved a way for development of energy efficient propulsion through proper interaction of aerodynamic design and engine power. Decades later, this eventually led to the development of several futuristic crafts which exploit the Pressure Thrust technique. Similar idea is attempted here to obtain improved pressure recovery behind the aft of a blunt underwater vehicle to generate additional thrust. In the present study, a simplified version of the Goldschmied geometry is considered with a single slot for suction between the fore-body and the stern. The computations are carried out utilizing commercial CFD solver Ansys Fluent. The axi-symmetric shape of the Goldschmied body is employed to generate a fully-structured mesh throughout the entire domain. The simulations are carried out for a range of Reynolds number and the suction pressure. The distribution of pressure at different radial locations is examined and plotted, similar to the original work by Goldschmied, to illustrate the alternate zones of drag and thrust produced along the radius. A sizeable portion of the thrust region in the plot is required to overcome the drag force and to achieve self-propulsion solely by means of boundary layer suction. The results of the computational study indicate a trend in that direction.

At present, the evaluation of voltage stability assessment experiences sizeable anxiety in the safe operation of power systems. This is due to the complications of a strain power system. With the snowballing of power demand by the consumers and also the restricted amount of power sources, therefore, the system has to perform at its maximum proficiency. Consequently, the noteworthy to discover the maximum ability boundary prior to voltage collapse should be undertaken. A preliminary warning can be perceived to evade the interruption of power system's capacity. This paper considered the implementation of real-time system monitoring methods that able to provide a timely warning in the power system before the voltage collapse occurred. Numerous types of line voltage stability indices (LVSI) are differentiated in this paper to resolve their effectuality to determine the weakest lines for the power system. The line voltage stability indices are assessed using the IEEE 9-Bus and IEEE 14-Bus Systems to validate their practicability. Besides that, this paper also introduced the implementation of real-time voltage stability monitoring by using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Results demonstrated that the calculated indices and the estimated indices by using ANN are practically relevant in predicting the manifestation of voltage collapse in the system. Therefore, essential actions can be taken by the operators in order to dodge voltage collapse incident from arising.

This paper studies a model of energy harvester that consists of an electromechanical pendulum system subjected to nonlinear springs. The output power is analyzed in terms of the intrinsic parameters of the device leading to optimal parameters for energy harvesting. It is found that in an appropriate range of the springs constant, the power attains higher values as compared to the case without springs. The dynamical behavior of the device shows transition to chaos.

In this work, an extended CFD-DEM approach is developed to study the gas-solids flow and heat transfer between bed and riser wall in three-dimensional full-loop circulating fluidized bed. The effects of some operational, such as superficial gas velocity and solids inventory, on the heat transfer coefficient between bed and riser wall are investigated. The governing heat transfer modes such as wall-fluid convection, wall-particle conduction, are then discussed to gain better understanding about heat transfer between bed and wall in circulating fluidized beds. This work demonstrates that the developed 3D CFD-DEM approach could be a useful tool to study the coupled fluid flow and heat transfer in such a complex system.

The polymorph selection during rapid solidification of zinc melt was investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. Several methods including g(r), energy, CNS, basic cluster and visualization were used to analyze the results. The results reveal that the cooling rate has no observable effect on the microstructure as TTc(Tc is the onset temperature of crystallization); and at the first stage of crystallization, although microstructures are different, the morphologies of nucleus are similar, which are composed of HCP and FCC layers; the polymorph selection of cooling rate finally takes place at the second stage of crystallization: at a high cooling rate, the rapid increase of FCC atoms leads to a FCC crystal mixed with less HCP structures; while at a low cooling rate, HCP atoms grow at the expense of FCC atoms, resulting in an almost perfect HCP phase. The results reveal that the cooling rate is one of the important factors for polymorph selection.

In this work, segregation of non-spherical particles in gas fluidization is studied by physical experiments. The shapes considered are spheroids with aspect ratio varying from 0.1 to 5.0. It is revealed that binary mixtures of ellipsoids have a higher minimum fluidization velocity than mono-shaped ellipsoids. Segregation occurs in binary-shaped mixtures within a narrow gas velocity range and large shape difference. Initial packing conditions have negligible influence on the final segregation degree.

In this article, we investigate the dynamical behavior of breathers in optoelectronic oscillators from the standpoint of mixed-mode oscillations. In the phase space, these breathers are composite oscillations that are damped to the attractive branches of an invariant manifold. Our study shows that the emergence of breather dynamics is linked to the apparition of inflection points in the phase space, and we develop an analytical framework based on the Liénard reduction form in order to provide an analytical insight into this phenomenology. Our theoretical results are in excellent agreement with experimental measurements.
