Numerical simulation of developing natural convection in an enclosure due to rapid heating

Effects of thermoacoustic wave motion on the developing natural convection process in a compressible gas-filled square enclosure were investigated numerically. In the cases considered, the left wall temperature is raised rapidly (impulsively or gradually) while the right wall is held at a specified temperature. The top and the bottom walls of the enclosure considered are thermally insulated. The numerical solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations were obtained by employing a highly accurate flux-corrected transport algorithm for the convection terms and by a central differencing scheme for the viscous and diffusive terms. The strength of the pressure waves associated with the thermoacoustic effect and resulting flow patterns are found to be strongly correlated to the rapidity of the wall heating process. Fluid thermal diffusivity was found to affect the strength of the thermoacoustic waves and the resulting interaction with the buoyancy-induced flow.     

Twenty-five years of natural coordinates

In the early eighties, the author and co-workers created and further developed the natural coordinates to describe the motion of 2-D and 3-D multibody systems. Natural coordinates do not need angles or angular parameters to define orientation, leading to constant inertia matrices and to the simplest form of the constraint equations. Natural coordinates are composed by the Cartesian coordinates of some points and the Cartesian components of some unit vectors distributed on the different bodies of the system. The points and vectors can be located in the joints, being shared by contiguous bodies, decreasing or even eliminating the need to set joint constraints and reducing the total number of variables. However, other authors prefer not to share variables in order to get even simpler equations and to keep a bigger decoupling of equations, which is preferable in some cases. In this paper the history of natural coordinates is reviewed, as well as the main contributions coming from other research groups. In the second part of the paper some application areas in which natural coordinates can be particularly advantageous are examined. Commemorative Contribution.

对三种天然气压缩因子计算方法：经典热力学法、SGERG-88法、SY／T6143—1996法进行了介绍并对计算结果进行了对比，第一种方法的计算精度远不能满足贸易结算的要求，我国现行的第二种计算方法与ISO标准方法相比，在10℃以上的温度范围内基本相符，但在10℃以下的低温段则偏差较大。由此说明，我国目前所实施的计量标准与国际上认可的ISO标准方法之间有较大的偏差；同时，对不需要在线计算的场合，提出了一套基于数据拟合的计算体积修正系数的高精度近似方法，可提高体积计量仪表的性价比。

Effect of Ammonia on the Gas-Phase Hydration of the Common Atmospheric Ion HSO4?

Hydration directly affects the mobility, thermodynamic properties, lifetime and nucleation rates of atmospheric ions. In the present study, the role of ammonia on the formation of hydrogen bonded complexes of the common atmospheric hydrogensulfate (HSO₄⁻) ion with water has been investigated using the Density Functional Theory (DFT). Our findings rule out the stabilizing effect of ammonia on the formation of negatively charged cluster hydrates and show clearly that the conventional (classical) treatment of ionic clusters as presumably more stable compared to neutrals may not be applicable to pre-nucleation clusters. These considerations lead us to conclude that not only quantitative but also qualitative assessment of the relative thermodynamic stability of atmospheric clusters requires a quantum-chemical treatment.
