The simulation results show that a crystal nucleus grows into a symmetric dendrite in a free flow and into an asymmetry dendrite in a forced flow. As the forced flow velocity is increased, both of the promoting effect on the upstream arm and the inhibiting effects on the downstream and perpendicular arms are intensified, and the perpendicular arm tilts to the upstream direction. With increasing the anisotropy value to 0.14, all of the dendrite arms tip velocities are gradually stabilized and finally reach their relative saturation values. In addition, the effects of an undercooling parameter and a forced compound flow on the faceted dendrite growth were also investigated.展开更多

The mathematical models of turbulent jet flame under the highly preheated air combustion condition are conducted in the paper. The mixture fraction/probability density function model is employed. The results show that the maximum flame temperature is decreased, the temperature in the HTAC furnace is more uniform than that in the conventional furnace, and the NO x emission is low. The numerical results are partially validated by some experimental measurements.展开更多

When a code is converted from the sequential form to the parallel form, data dependence is a main problem. A traditional sequential molecular dynamics code is anatomized to find the data dependence segments in it, and the two different methods, i.e., recover method and backward mapping method were used to eliminate those data dependencies in order to realize the parallelization of this sequential MD code. The performance of the parallelized MD code was analyzed by using some performance analysis tools. The results of the test show that the computing size of this code increases sharply form 1 million atoms before parallelization to 20 million atoms after parallelization, and the wall clock during computing is reduced largely. Some hot-spots in this code are found and optimized by improved algorithm. The efficiency of parallel computing is 30% higher than that of before, and the calculation time is saved and larger scale calculation problems are solved.展开更多

The effect of Ti^4+ doping was studied by using the Moessbauer spectroscopy measurements at room temperature.

From the Moessbauer study, it is observed that the :esolved hyperfine sextets are due to the distribution of Fe ions on the two sublattices of the spinel ferrites. The value of the isomer shift obtained from the fitting of the Moessbauer spectra indicates that Fe ions are in +3 state. A paramagnetic doublet is observed at :iegree of inversion x=0.4, superimposed on the hyperfine sextets, indicating that the super-exchange interaction A-B decreases due to :he dilution of sublattice by Al^3+ ions. The hyperfine magnetic field decreases at both interstitial sites of tetrahedral (A) and 3ctahedral (B) with the increase in Al concentration.展开更多

The results show that the behavior of the Ni-rich alloy is similar to that of the binary Ni-Al alloy with the same Al content in the form of an external NiO layer coupled to the internal oxidation of aluminium. The presence of 15%(mole fraction) Cu cannot modify substantially the values of relevant parameters affecting the transition from the internal to the external oxidation of aluminium. The presence of 5 % Al reduces the oxidation rate of the corresponding Ni-Cu alloy during the whole oxidation stages, though 5 % Al is still insufficient to form protective external alumina scales.展开更多
