Structure of Supercritical Fluid Krypton at Small Scattering Angle Using Parallel Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Abstract

We present a parallel algorithm for molecular dynamics involving short-range two- and three-body potentials and the pair-correlation function, g(r). The method is based on a spatial decomposition of the simulation box that takes advantage of a linked-cell list, and allows a load balanced partition of the computations of both the forces and g(r) over the processors. The tests of the program is conducted by evaluating the efficiency for both the thermalization phase and the production phase of the simulation. This method is successfully applied to the calculation of the direct correlation function of fluid krypton at small scattering angle along the T = 297 K supercritical isotherm.     

CFD analysis of the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve and design of an alternative device

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling based on a commercial package, FLUENT, has been used in the present study. The primary aim of this study is to develop a novel implant by employing CFD techniques. Firstly, CFD analyses on the best design commercially available, which is the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV^®), are accomplished. In the light of the results, the new design focus is selected as the valve. The new design is analysed using GAMBIT and FLUENT software. CFD analyses of the new design and the AGV^® are compared and the strengths of the new design are revealed. The results are also compared with the experimental studies AGV^® in the literature. It is deduced that the proposed model shows a nonlinear pressure drop response, which is quite similar to that of AGV^®. The optimum combination would be a flow rate of 2.5 μl/min and a pressure drop of 1054.58 Pa for the proposed model.     

利用红外相机调查祁连山国家公园(青海片区)兽类和鸟类多样性

2017年5-9月,采用红外相机调查祁连山国家公园(青海片区)兽类和鸟类多样性。共布设154个相机位点,累计12 096个相机日,共获得9 675张有效独立照片,鉴定23种野生兽类和50种野生鸟类物种,分别隶属5目10科和9目19科,另记录到家畜5种。相对多度指数最高的前五种野生动物依次为岩羊(Pseudois rnayaur)(18.23)、喜马拉雅旱獭(Marmota himalayarea)(15.98)、灰尾兔(Lepus oiostolus)(5.06)、红嘴山鸦(Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax)(3.39)、高原鼠兔(Ochotona curzoniae)(2.49)。中国特有物种有荒漠猫(Felis bieti)、白唇鹿(Ceryus albirostris)、西藏马鹿(Cervus wallichii)、藏原羚(Procapra picticaudata)、红耳鼠兔(Ochotana erythrotis)、蓝马鸡(Crossoptilon auritum)和地山雀(Pseudopocdoces humilis)7种。国家Ⅰ级重点保护野生动物有4种,国家Ⅱ级重点保护野生动物有20种;被中国脊椎动物红色名录评估为极危、濒危、易危、近危的物种分别有1种、6种、3种、14种。红外相机调查结果反映出祁连山国家公园(青海片区)兽类和鸟类现状,为祁连山国家公园体制试点生物多样性保护和管理提供基础数据。     

我国重点氟污染行业排放清单与土壤氟浓度估算

工业生产排放和土壤氟高背景值导致我国部分地区氟污染严重,给生态安全和人类健康造成严重威胁.本文基于我国氟排放重点行业的生产产能,估算重点行业生产过程中氟排放量,构建我国重点行业氟排放清单,基于数据集成和融合,分析我国土壤氟背景值、氟地球化学分布和土壤氟浓度分布,并对氟污染典型区域氟污染成因及控制进行系统分析.分析发现,我国氟排放的重点行业有钢铁、磷肥和电解铝.磷肥施用的氟排放量最大,但施用面积大,浓度贡献小;电解铝行业的氟排放强度大;钢铁行业的氟排放总量大,但排放强度较小.我国大部分地区土壤氟背景值不高,环境容量大.但部分地区氟污染严重,主要是由工业氟排放和土壤氟高背景值造成,这些地区应采取相应的防控措施.
