Through utilizing numerical simulation methods, the flow state of the molten pool during the vacuum self-consumption melting process of titanium alloy was analyzed. The influence of the stable arc cycle on the shape of the molten pool, dendrite arm spacing, surface quality, and shrinkage cavity was examined. The results showed that without an external magnetic field, the molten pool for smelting a Φ720 mm specification titanium alloy ingot is dominated by self-inductance magnetic force, leading to a downward flow in the central part of the melt. A mere 0.5 G stray magnetic field can result in Ekman pumping, causing an upward secondary flow in the core to counteract it. At an externally added magnetic field strength of 50 G, choosing a 10 s-20 s cycle can achieve a relatively stable double loop flow pattern. The shape of its molten pool, dendrite arm spacing, and contact ratio all reach optimal performance, thus verifying the possibility and feasibility of the double loop flow, and the macroscopic segregation of the simulated ingots essentially matches the experimental results, aiming to provide references for selecting parameters in actual production.
通过利用数值模拟方法,分析了钛合金真空自耗熔炼过程中熔池的流动状态。研究了稳定电弧周期对熔池形状、枝晶臂间距、表面质量和收缩腔的影响。结果表明,在没有外部磁场的情况下,熔炼Φ720 毫米规格钛合金铸锭的熔池由自感磁力主导,导致熔体中心部分向下流动。仅 0.5 G 的杂散磁场就会导致埃克曼抽气,从而在芯部产生向上的二次流动以抵消杂散磁场。在外部磁场强度为 50 G 的情况下,选择 10 s-20 s 的周期可以实现相对稳定的双环流动模式。其熔池形状、枝晶臂间距和接触比均达到最佳性能,从而验证了双回路流动的可能性和可行性,模拟铸锭的宏观偏析与实验结果基本吻合,旨在为实际生产中的参数选择提供参考。

The investigation into modulational instability (MI) within the Kundu-Eckhaus (KE) equation, governing optical solitons, involves a thorough examination of the effects of self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, and intermodal dispersion. Special attention is given to understanding the influence of the four-wave mixing effect. The KE equation, which models birefringent fiber and includes terms related to intermodal dispersion, cross-phase modulation, and self-phase modulation, serves as the fundamental framework for this analytical study. Employing conventional linear stability analysis, the gain within the KE equation is determined. To shed light on the role of four-wave mixing in various scenarios, the gain spectrum is utilized as a tool to analyze the behavior of the KE equation under different conditions. This methodology seeks to provide insightful information about the intricate interactions that impact the modulational instability of solitonic pulses in an optical systems. After that, we have investigated the soliton solution by implementing the Jacobian elliptical function approach. Finally, our focus here is on linear stability analysis, which employs eigenvalue spectra to study solitons’ stability via direct numerical simulation.

This investigation focuses on the development and characterization of sustainable composite materials for insulation and structural components in the automotive and shipbuilding industries, by incorporating date palm Rachis fibers into an epoxy matrix. Thus, we evaluated the effect of the weight ratio (ranging from 0 to 15 wt%) of Rachis fibers (0.315 mm) on the mechanical, physical, surface morphology, thermal properties, and water absorption. It turns out according to the study that, the XRD pattern revealed the amorphous nature of the composite. This new material can be used as composite material itself or as a skin of a sandwich composite material. The Epoxy-Rachis (ER) composite materials exhibited a low thermal conductivity of 0.21 W/ (m.K) and a low thermal diffusivity of 0.17 mm2 s−1 presenting high thermal insulation and construction properties. The SEM images showed that increasing Rachis fiber concentration produces a heterogeneous bio-composite material. The resulting composition showcases ductile fracture behavior with a flexural modulus (Ef) of 3.21 GPa and a bending strength (σ) of 9.28 MPa. These attributes underline the suitability of this composite for applications requiring efficient thermal insulation and robust construction properties, while simultaneously contributing to environmental sustainability and environmental benefits.

A novel dual Port C-Shape MIMO broadband printed antenna with wide axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) is modelled and built for Ku band Applications. The unit cell of the proposed antenna has a compact size of 25 × 26 × 0.8 mm3 engraved on RT duriod 5880 material (εr = 2.2, thickness of 0.8 mm). The proposed model consists of C shaped radiator, plus symbol structure and a modified ground plane. The machine learning concept is used to investigate the dimensional dependency of the plus sign on the CP behaviour. The suggested antenna shows impedance bandwidth (−10 dB) and 3-dB ARBW of 6 GHz (12 GHz to 18 GHz) which is covering the whole Ku band. The diversity performance parameters and antenna parametric investigation is also carried out to justify the MIMO identity of the proposed design.

Inverted solar cells have attracted significant attention because they have low hysteresis and are resistant to environmental variables, such as oxygen and humidity, making them more stable and long-lasting. Herein, we investigate the performance optimisation of an inverted design based on MAPbI3-xClx with the structure ITO/PTAA/MAPbI3-xClx/PC60BM/BCP/Ag by utilising SCAPS-1D, a simulation tool. Accordingly, a substantial improvement in efficiency can be achieved by optimising several factors linked to each layer’s performance in a perovskite solar cell (PSC). Total defect density, work function, thickness, and electron affinity have a significant impact on the photovoltaic response. Specifically, the impact of optimisation of the charge transport layers and the perovskite layer on the device’s performance parameters was discussed, resulting in a milestone within a remarkable increase in PCE of 21.59%, whereas the original structure’s efficiency was 6.9%. Additionally, it has been shown that aluminium can substitute silver in the top electrode of a solar cell without affecting its efficiency, allowing the development of cost-effective solar cells. The present study provides an insight in the creation of a highly stable low-cost and higher-efficiency perovskite solar cell.

The lack of understanding of the azimuthal instability and the resulting electron anomalous transport limits further improvement of Hall thrusters. Compared to theoretical and experimental approaches, the numerical particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation is a suitable and powerful tool, which has been widely applied to investigate the azimuthal instability, and great progress has been made in the past decades. However, PIC simulations are intrinsically computationally expensive, and it is realized that the Hall thruster azimuthal instability has a three dimensional nature. Therefore, massive 3D PIC simulation must be carried out to completely reveal the mechanism of the instability. In this paper, the effect of plasma initialization on 3D PIC simulation of Hall thruster azimuthal instability is studied as a starting point. It is found that by initializing with ion density and velocity fitting functions to the steady-state simulation results, a faster convergence can be obtained and the computational time can be reduced by about 1.5 times. Typical fitting functions of ion density, drifting velocity, and temperature are given, and the influence of different initialization profiles is presented.

As representative non-toxic cadmium-free quantum dots (QDs), ZnS QDs with high quantum efficiency, super stability and excellent biocompatibility had attracted wide attention in the fields of photocatalysis, solar cells and biomedicine. In this study, hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) technology was applied to the preparation of ZnS QDs. By adjusting HC device parameters, water soluble ZnS QDs with small particle size, narrow particle size distribution range, high absorbance, high luminous efficiency and high quantum yield were prepared. The morphology, size distribution, element composition and optical properties of ZnS QDs were studied by various characterization methods. ZnS QDs with average particle size of 1.48 nm, fluorescence quantum yield of 34.07% and Stokes shift of 112 nm were obtained. In addition, the mechanism of preparation of ZnS QDs by using HC method was also studied.

An effective Hamiltonian for the topologically protected edge-modes in a finite-size system is developed. The topological phase transition is understood in terms of a global perturbation to the system which lifts the degeneracy of the edge-modes. The effective Hamiltonian method is also applied to a one-dimensional system with spatially varying hopping strengths to understand the impact of disorder on the edge-modes.
