Simulation of flow induced noise in process of pump-turbine load rejection
No full textThe grid market is redistributed with significantly increase of the exploitation of unpredictable renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy sources, however, the ways of electricity generation by both wind and solar energy depend on environment which is extremely unstable. For the sake of balancing electricity generated by renewable energy, pumped storage power stations are experiencing a thriving process. As the core of pumped storage power station, the stable operation of the pump turbine is extremely important, especially for pump-turbine working at transient conditions. In order to study pressure fluctuating characteristics and its' influence on flow-induced noise, a continuous unsteady simulation was carried out in pump-turbine guide vane closing process under generating mode. In this article, wall sliding mesh was used to realize guide vane continuous motion, which ensured that the mesh quality at any moment was larger than 60% compared with the initial mesh quality, meanwhile, DES turbulent model was adopted in all calculations due to its good performance in many industrial cases. The whole pump-turbine model was meshed with structured mesh by commercial software ICEM, and five different mesh sizes were used in mesh sensitivity validation, with the size of 14 million selected finally. On the other hand, a test was performed by the team of Giorgio Pavesi to prove this model in open test facility in Padova University, the entire model validation was carried out according to ISO standards, and relative parameters were measured based on IEC standards. Commercial software ANYSYS CFX 16.2 was used to realize all simulating calculations with 8 computer cores, one month was taken to finish this calculation. The flow field calculating results were analyzed in frequency and time-frequency domains, including mass flow, pressure, and torque et al., in the meantime, the pressure on the surfaces of blades was regarded as flow-induced noise source to study sound field. The solution obtained from flow field illustrates that pressure fluctuating amplitudes at guide vane outlet is more than twice compared to the relative value at guide vane inlet location, the main reason is flow in the vaneless space that is close to runner is affected by rotor-rotor interaction. In addition, pressure pulsations at runner outlet arrive at peaks when two vortexes appear in draft tube with two different rotating directions. As for frequency domain characteristics, both strauhal number St=0.051 and St=1 are captured, whereas the spectrum of those pressure fluctuations that are close to guide vane outlet is 10 times of the relative value at guide vane inlet, which explains that rotor-rotor interaction has a stronger influence on flow field than rotor-stator interaction. Some rules are found by analyzing flow-induced noise in sound field, the analysis illustrates that flow-induced noise radiation level is related to both pressure fluctuating and shell natural frequency captured in exterior acoustic field, the shape of sound distribution is like "∞" and sound level distributions in different directions and faces are symmetrical, this explains that the blade noise radiation has obvious dipole characteristics. Furthermore, at the first and second-order blade passage frequencies, the effect of flow rate on the radiation performance of noise is stronger under larger flow conditions during guide vane closure, which becomes weaker under smaller flow conditions in the first half of the guide vane closure, as for the second half phase of guide vane closure, the results are exactly opposite to the previous phenomena. Moreover, flow-induced noise radiation is consistent with fluid characteristics during pump-turbine load rejection. Consequently, to improve pressure fluctuating characteristics can reduce flow-induced noise. © 2018, Editorial Department of the Transactions of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
