This paper considers an epidemic model of a vector-borne disease which has the vectormediated transmission only. The incidence term is of the bilinear mass-action form. It is shown that the global dynamics is completely determined by the basic reproduction number Ro. If Ro ≤ 1, the diseasefree equilibrium is globally stable and the disease dies out. If Ro 〉 1, a unique endemic equilibrium is globally stable in the interior of the feasible region and the disease persists at the endemic equilibrium. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.

An algorithm for bubble packing method based unstructured grid generation of a curved-edge polygon is developed to avoid bubble departure from a curved boundary during dynamic bubble movement. The curve boundary is mapped into a straight line to allow bubble adding and moving. Then the bubble position is mapped into the curve boundary by the arc-length parameterization method. Combined with conventional methods, a new method to judge a point in a given curved-edge polygon is proposed. Local grid refinement is realized by adding different size bubbles to the real and artificial vertices and setting the bubble's radius by the weighted average method. Moreover, the SIMPLE algorithm on unstructured collocated grid systems is developed and applied to simulate the lid-driven flow in a polar cavity. The numerical simulation results agree well with the experimental data under different Reynolds numbers.

In present paper, the effect of velocity ratio on plane mixing layer is experimentally investigated with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The velocity ratio between low- and high-speed side are 0.25, 0.33 and 0.50, respectively. The Reynolds number based on the velocity difference of two streams and hydraulic diameter of the channel ranges from 15840~132000. The results indicate that the maximum mean Reynolds stress on the same cross section increases with Reynolds number increasing but decreases with velocity ratio increasing at the equal Reynolds number. The mean vorticity increases with Reynolds number increasing on the same cross-section and increases with the velocity ratio increasing at the equal Reynolds number. The maximum non-dimensional mean vorticity decreases according to an exponential law along the stream-wise direction, and the decreasing speed of maximum mean vorticity increases with the velocity ratio increasing.

Turbulent mixing layer flow was simulated by the discrete vortex method, and viscosity was modeled by the random walk method and the solid wall was represented by the vortex sheet in the simulation. The predictions of the profiles of mean velocity and turbulent flow parameters agree well with experimental data. The results show that the peak value of Reynolds shear stress increases but the fluctuations of the peak value occur because of vortex-pairing, and vorticity peak value increases in the downstream direction. Then the effect of Reynolds number on the distribution of the turbulent flow parameters at the same velocity ratio was explored. It seems that the peak values of Reynolds shear stress under different Reynolds numbers will increase at the similar slope in the downstream direction. The average vorticity peak value will decrease in the downstream direction, and the decrease rate will increase with Reynolds number. In addition, the vorticity peak value in each section will increase nearly linearly with Reynolds number.

The explosion limits of dimethyl ether, methane and different mixtures of dimethyl ether and methane were measured under the temperature ranging from room temperature to 80C and the pressure ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 MPa. In addition, the effects of temperature and pressure on the explosion limit were analyzed, and the accuracies of some theoretical calculation models of explosion limit were tested with the experimental results.

The dimension of erythrocyte is close to capillary diameter and in microcirculation blood should be treated as a two-phase flow system, i.e., erythrocytes suspended in plasma. The rheological property of erythrocytes will significantly influence the hemodynamics. In our experiment, the motion and deformation of erythrocytes in a microfluidic chip with rectangular cross-section microchannel was captured by optical microscope and high speed CCD camera. The aggregation, deformation and common movement forms of erythrocytes were observed under different viscosity, hematocrit and velocity. It was found that erythrocytes behaved a regular biconcave disc shape at low velocity and low-to-medium viscosity, and always rolled and rotated themselves in their movement. At high velocity and medium viscosity, RBCs elongated obviously along the flow direction and presented a flat oval shape together with a tank-treading motion (TTM).

Turbulent drag reducing characteristics of CTAC/NaSal aqueous solution (CTAC had same mass concentration with NaSal.) were investigated in a two-dimensional channel of 30 mm height and 375 mm width, which was made of transparent acrylic resin. The measured drag reduction data were scaled up by using Hoyt's scaling method and were compared with other reported drag reduction data for different channel sizes. It could be concluded that both the critical temperature and critical Reynolds number at which turbulent drag reduction of surfactant solution occurred increased with concentration. There was a maximum drag-reduction about 60% for the measured CTAC/NaSal solutions. The Hoyt's scale-up method correlated well the experimental data for different channel heights when the SIS (shearing induced structure) was established very well in surfactant solutions.

Parasitic shuttle effects and sluggish kinetics severely limit the practical applications of lithium-sulfur (Li–S) batteries. Developing conducting catalysts with high catalytic activity is effective strategy to address such issues. Electronic engineering as tuning strategy can optimize the electronic structure and enhance the redox reaction kinetics. Herein, NiSe 2 -CoSe 2 hollow microspheres with abundant heterogeneous interfaces were synthesized as sulfur cathode catalysts. DFT calculations show that heterostructure can promote electron redistribution and form built-in electric field (BIEF), which causes the directional transfer of electrons. Additionally, NiSe 2 -CoSe 2 has optimized adsorption energy, which can effectively suppress shuttle effect. Meanwhile, electrochemical tests further confirmed bidirectional catalytic ability. Benefiting the merits, S/NiSe 2 -CoSe 2 -GO-CNF (S/NiCo-GN) achieved an initial discharge specific capacity of 1353.35 mAh g −1 at 0.2C and stable 1000 cycles at 1C with a capacity decay rate of only 0.044 % per cycle. Moreover, S/NiCo-GN also achieved high areal capacity of 1.688 mAh cm −2 at 0.5C under high loading (∼2.5 mg cm −2 ) and lean electrolyte (∼10 μL mg −1 ) conditions. The flexible pouch cell further demonstrated its high safety, good thermal stability, and robust mechanical stability. This work provides guiding methods for the design of efficient catalysts, which can contribute to the realisation of high-performance Li–S batteries.
