Pumped storage power stations face significant efficiency and safety challenges due to complex hydraulic and mechanical faults. While accurate fault diagnosis is critical for reliable operation, existing data-driven methods often lack generalizability and explicit integration of domain knowledge in multi-fault scenarios. To address this, we develop a novel simulation-knowledge hybrid framework that integrates physics-based representations from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) / Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations with a data-driven Stacked Denoising Auto-Encoder (SDAE) model enhanced by RIME optimization algorithm. The framework introduces a systematic knowledge-formalization and feature-alignment mechanism that translates implicit physical fields into quantifiable indicators aligned with experimental features. Through detailed hydraulic and mechanical simulations, we characterize cavitation and bearing wear fault signatures, formalizing them into traceable diagnostic datasets. This establishes a transparent evidence chain linking fault diagnoses to underlying physical mechanisms. To improve generalization, the SDAE model undergoes autonomous hyperparameter adaptation via the RIME algorithm, enhancing its capability to interpret hybrid knowledge-data inputs. Experimental validation demonstrates that the knowledge-integrated RIME-SDAE model achieves near-perfect identification accuracy exceeding 99%, outperforming both baseline SDAE (93.3%) and SVM models. Field tests confirm the framework's robustness and accuracy, enabling real-time fault traceability without additional sensors. This research provides a scalable methodology for enhancing operational reliability and supporting design decisions in pumped storage power stations through explicit knowledge utilization and autonomous model adaptation.
由于复杂的水力和机械故障,抽水蓄能电站面临着巨大的效率和安全挑战。虽然准确的故障诊断是可靠运行的关键,但现有的数据驱动方法在多故障场景下往往缺乏泛化能力和对领域知识的显式集成。为了解决这个问题,我们开发了一种新的模拟知识混合框架,该框架将计算流体动力学(CFD) /有限元法(FEM)模拟的基于物理的表示与数据驱动的堆叠去噪自动编码器(SDAE)模型集成在一起,该模型由RIME优化算法增强。该框架引入了系统的知识形式化和特征对齐机制,将隐式物理场转化为与实验特征一致的可量化指标。通过详细的水力和机械模拟,我们描述了空化和轴承磨损故障特征,并将其形式化为可追溯的诊断数据集。这建立了一个透明的证据链,将故障诊断与潜在的物理机制联系起来。为了提高泛化能力,SDAE模型通过RIME算法进行自主超参数自适应,增强了其解释混合知识数据输入的能力。实验验证表明,知识集成的RIME-SDAE模型的识别准确率接近完美,超过99%,优于基线SDAE模型(93.3%)和SVM模型。现场测试证实了该框架的鲁棒性和准确性,无需额外的传感器即可实现实时故障跟踪。本研究提供了一种可扩展的方法,通过明确的知识利用和自主模型适应来提高抽水蓄能电站的运行可靠性和支持设计决策。

As a distinct form of pedestrian motion, skiing possesses a long-standing history, yet the recurrent occurrence of ski-related accidents underscores the necessity of deeper inquiry into this dynamic system. In light of such a need, the present study adopts a modelling and simulation perspective to construct a framework for analysing skier trajectories and performance, with explicit consideration of the complex interactions between human behaviour, varying environmental and physical conditions. To this end, in specific, a cellular automaton (CA)-based model was developed, incorporating six critical factors: slope angle, surface friction, boundary constraints, terrain curvature, aerodynamic drag, and directional inertia. Probabilistic decision rules combined with physics-based speed updates enabled realistic skier movement simulations across a discretized slope grid. The simulation shows that slope angle predominantly drives skier speed, while surface friction and aerodynamic drag reduce efficiency by increasing resistance and prolonging descent. Boundary effects, though minor under wide-slope conditions, help confine lateral motion and influence path shaping. Terrain curvature impacts turning dynamics, especially on rough or irregular surfaces, while inertia enhances straight-line speed but reduces adaptability. The study underscores the importance of capturing both environmental and behavioural interactions to accurately model downhill skiing dynamics and provides detailed insights into the mechanisms shaping skiing efficiency, offering a powerful tool for advanced skier simulation and slope performance analysis. This study presents a cellular automaton (CA)-based modelling framework for simulating skier dynamics. Model integrates six environmental factors – slope, friction, boundary, curvature, aerodynamic drag, and inertia – to reproduce realistic motion patterns on alpine slopes. This study primarily focuses on the dynamics of a single skier, while multi-agent interactions will be explored in future work.
作为一种独特的行人运动形式,滑雪有着悠久的历史,然而与滑雪有关的事故的反复发生强调了对这一动态系统进行更深入研究的必要性。鉴于这种需求,本研究采用建模和仿真的角度来构建分析滑雪者轨迹和表现的框架,明确考虑人类行为、变化的环境和物理条件之间复杂的相互作用。为此,具体而言,开发了一个基于元胞自动机(CA)的模型,该模型包含六个关键因素:斜坡角、表面摩擦、边界约束、地形曲率、气动阻力和方向惯性。概率决策规则与基于物理的速度更新相结合,可以在离散的斜坡网格上模拟真实的滑雪者运动。模拟结果表明,坡角主要驱动滑雪者速度,而表面摩擦和气动阻力通过增加阻力和延长下降时间来降低效率。边界效应虽然在宽坡度条件下较小,但有助于限制横向运动并影响路径形成。地形曲率影响转向动力学,特别是在粗糙或不规则的表面,而惯性提高了直线速度,但降低了适应性。该研究强调了捕捉环境和行为相互作用的重要性,以准确地模拟下坡滑雪动力学,并提供了形成滑雪效率的机制的详细见解,为高级滑雪者模拟和斜坡性能分析提供了强大的工具。本研究提出了一种基于元胞自动机(CA)的模拟滑雪者动力学的建模框架。模型集成了六个环境因素-坡度,摩擦,边界,曲率,空气动力学阻力和惯性-再现现实的运动模式在高山斜坡上。本研究主要关注单个滑雪者的动态,而多智能体交互将在未来的工作中进行探索。

Optimizing process parameters in cold spray additive manufacturing: A data-driven, simulation-based multi-objective approach 冷喷涂增材制造工艺参数优化:数据驱动、基于仿真的多目标方法
IF 3.5 2区 计算机科学 Q2 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-26 DOI: 10.1016/j.simpat.2025.103235

Cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) is an emerging solid-state deposition technique that utilizes high-velocity gas to propel powdered materials onto a substrate. Analysis of objective functions for process parameter optimization in CSAM requires data that is usually obtained from costly experiments or numerical simulations. Integrating simulations or experiments directly into conventional optimization algorithms can lead to significantly high computational costs. Additionally, these optimization problems typically involve multiple conflicting objectives that should be taken into account simultaneously. In this work, we develop a data-driven, simulation-based multi-objective optimization framework (SMOF) to optimize CSAM process parameters online. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used to perform CSAM simulations. A new optimal grid mutation-based infill criterion (OIC) is proposed to enhance the surrogate-assisted search in SMOF. Subsequently, numerical simulations are replaced by an ensemble of surrogates with high prediction robustness. We assess the effectiveness of the proposed OIC on two benchmark test problems and further optimize multiple powder impact problems. The optimization results demonstrate that the present SMOF can identify desired process parameter combinations for the CSAM process. Based on the proposed SMOF, refined multi-objective process parameter windows are established for the first time to analyze the evolution of CSAM process parameters.
冷喷涂增材制造(CSAM)是一种新兴的固态沉积技术,它利用高速气体将粉末材料推进到基板上。CSAM过程参数优化的目标函数分析通常需要从昂贵的实验或数值模拟中获得数据。将模拟或实验直接集成到传统的优化算法中可能会导致非常高的计算成本。此外,这些优化问题通常涉及多个应该同时考虑的相互冲突的目标。在这项工作中,我们开发了一个数据驱动的,基于仿真的多目标优化框架(SMOF)来在线优化CSAM工艺参数。采用光滑粒子流体力学(SPH)方法进行了CSAM模拟。提出了一种新的基于最优网格突变的填充准则(OIC),以增强SMOF中的代理辅助搜索。随后,用具有高预测鲁棒性的代理集合代替数值模拟。我们评估了所提出的OIC在两个基准测试问题上的有效性,并进一步优化了多个粉末冲击问题。优化结果表明,该方法能够识别出CSAM工艺所需的工艺参数组合。在此基础上,首次建立了精细化的多目标工艺参数窗口来分析CSAM工艺参数的演化。

The impact of import container flow characteristics on port operational efficiency 进口集装箱流动特性对港口作业效率的影响
IF 3.5 2区 计算机科学 Q2 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.simpat.2025.103228

In this paper, we analyze different scenarios for container flows arriving at marine terminals to different destinations in the hinterland. The aim of the study is to verify how the type of import containers — standard, hazardous, and refrigerated — and their size affect the operational efficiency of the terminal. Relevant performance indicators, such as container dwell time, average and maximum number of waiting containers, and equipment utilization rate, are evaluated. To this end, we present a discrete-event simulation study that, although generalizable to any port, refers to a terminal in the port network of Genoa (Italy). The number of considered scenarios, illustrated in this paper, are taken from a synthetic data generator for logistics flows and used in Witness Horizon v.24 simulation software environment to execute independent runs at a steady state condition. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time that a sensitivity analysis based on the variation in the types of containers is presented. The performed simulation experiments can be of great interest to various port stakeholders. Indeed, the results show that the percentage composition of the type of import container over the annual time horizon considered has an impact on the indicators under analysis, favoring a more balanced distribution. However, again in relation to the same indicators, the variation in container size appears to be negligible. The study highlights how advance knowledge of the type of import containers can support port terminal management in terms of efficient management and optimization of resources, providing specific advice on the operational decisions concerning equipment and block yard allocation.
在本文中,我们分析了集装箱流到达内陆不同目的地的不同情景。研究的目的是验证进口货柜的种类(标准货柜、危险货柜及冷藏货柜)及其大小如何影响码头的运作效率。评估集装箱停留时间、平均和最大等待集装箱数、设备利用率等相关性能指标。为此,我们提出了一个离散事件模拟研究,虽然可以推广到任何港口,但指的是热那亚(意大利)港口网络中的一个码头。本文中所示的考虑场景的数量取自物流流的合成数据生成器,并在Witness Horizon v.24仿真软件环境中用于在稳态条件下执行独立运行。据作者所知,这是第一次提出基于容器类型变化的敏感性分析。所进行的模拟实验可以引起各种港口利益相关者的极大兴趣。事实上,结果表明,在所考虑的年度时间范围内,进口集装箱类型的百分比构成对所分析的指标有影响,有利于更平衡的分配。然而,就同样的指标而言,容器大小的变化似乎可以忽略不计。该研究强调了进口集装箱类型的预先知识如何能够在有效管理和优化资源方面支持港口码头管理,并为有关设备和堆场分配的操作决策提供具体建议。

Cooperating cloud-fog-mist computing frameworks have been methodically designed to balance computational efficiency and data privacy during the execution of complex applications with diverse security demands. To guarantee the proper execution of these applications, the implementation of security-aware scheduling strategies is crucial. This paper explores security-aware scheduling policies, with a focus on developing algorithms tailored for heterogeneous workloads, including both simple single-task jobs and Bags of Linear Workflows (BoLWs) with varying priority levels. Multi-criteria scheduling algorithms are utilized to handle tasks by priority in the three layers. These algorithms are evaluated under different conditions, including varying system utilization, security requirements, and task service demands. Building on the epoch policy discussed in prior research, which considers job security levels, we propose an enhanced epoch-based approach that also accounts for the number of virtual machines allocated to each BoLW job alongside its security requirements. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of this novel epoch strategy compared to the previously established approach.
协作的云-雾-雾计算框架被有条不紊地设计为在执行具有不同安全需求的复杂应用程序期间平衡计算效率和数据隐私。为了保证这些应用程序的正确执行,安全感知调度策略的实现至关重要。本文探讨了安全感知调度策略,重点是开发针对异构工作负载的算法,包括简单的单任务作业和具有不同优先级级别的线性工作流包(bolw)。在三层中采用多准则调度算法按优先级处理任务。这些算法在不同的条件下进行评估,包括不同的系统利用率、安全需求和任务服务需求。在先前研究中讨论的epoch策略的基础上(该策略考虑了作业安全级别),我们提出了一种增强的基于epoch的方法,该方法还考虑了分配给每个BoLW作业的虚拟机数量及其安全需求。仿真结果表明,与已有的方法相比,该策略具有更好的性能。

Experimental investigation and 3D finite element simulation of the turning process for AISI304 stainless steel AISI304不锈钢车削过程的实验研究及三维有限元模拟
IF 3.5 2区 计算机科学 Q2 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.simpat.2025.103221

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of main machining parameters during the turning process of AISI304 stainless steel through experimental work and finite element simulation employing a realistic 3D cylindrical workpiece model. The application of a realistic 3D model facilitates a strong correlation between simulation and experimental findings concerning chip morphology and temperature distribution. Both experimental and simulation results reveal the formation of elongated helical-shaped chips. An increase in cutting depth induces higher stress and equivalent plastic deformation. Meanwhile, a higher cutting speed leads to lower stress distributed on the chip and the machined workpiece. The temperature trends near the cutting tool nose and along the main cutting edge differ considerably. The highest temperature is concentrated on the main cutting edge of the cutting tool during the machining process, reaching up to 1000 °K in the case of high cutting speed and large cutting depth. In contrast, the temperature on the chip and machined surface are about 330 °K and 300 °K, respectively.
本研究通过实验工作和采用真实三维圆柱形工件模型的有限元模拟,探讨了主要加工参数对AISI304不锈钢车削加工过程的影响。逼真的三维模型的应用促进了芯片形态和温度分布的模拟和实验结果之间的强相关性。实验和仿真结果均显示了细长螺旋形切屑的形成。随着切削深度的增加,应力增大,等效塑性变形增大。同时,切削速度越快,切屑和被加工工件上的应力分布越小。靠近刀头和沿主切削刃的温度变化趋势差别很大。在加工过程中,最高温度集中在刀具的主切削刃处,在切削速度快、切削深度大的情况下,最高温度可达1000°K。相比之下,芯片和加工表面的温度分别约为330°K和300°K。

The topology model is an important aspect of wireless mesh network simulation. To test a new protocol typically several different topologies are necessary to perform a statistically significant number of simulation runs. Simply using topologies of real-world networks directly is not sufficient because the number of topology data available is less than the number of topologies required for simulation. Therefore, artificially generated topologies are used. Unfortunately, many simulators use either a uniform node distribution or even just a simple grid topology which both differ significantly from real-world topologies.
We first revisit the differences between uniform and grid topologies vs. real-world topologies using four different real-world networks to motivate the need for such a tool and then present EvoTopo, a new approach to generate more realistic topologies. EvoTopo uses a genetic algorithm to create the desired number of simulation topologies from the node positions of one real-world network. The generated topologies are evolved to be “similar” w.r.t. homogeneity of the node distribution, nearest neighbor distance, and node density. We evaluate our algorithm analyzing average overall node distance, the degree distribution of nodes, and the performance of a simple flooding algorithm and compare our algorithm to other approaches. The EvoTopo tool and the four sample topologies can be downloaded from our homepage; generated topologies are written to a simple text file which can be imported into a simulator of choice.
拓扑模型是无线网状网络仿真的一个重要方面。为了测试一个新协议,通常需要几个不同的拓扑来执行统计上显著数量的模拟运行。简单地直接使用实际网络的拓扑是不够的,因为可用的拓扑数据数量少于仿真所需的拓扑数量。因此,使用人工生成的拓扑。不幸的是,许多模拟器要么使用统一的节点分布,要么甚至只是一个简单的网格拓扑,这两者都与现实世界的拓扑结构有很大的不同。我们首先使用四种不同的现实网络来回顾统一和网格拓扑与现实拓扑之间的差异,以激发对这种工具的需求,然后介绍EvoTopo,一种生成更现实拓扑的新方法。EvoTopo使用遗传算法从一个现实世界网络的节点位置创建所需数量的模拟拓扑。生成的拓扑被演化为“相似”的拓扑,即节点分布、最近邻距离和节点密度的均匀性。我们通过分析平均总体节点距离、节点度分布和简单泛洪算法的性能来评估我们的算法,并将我们的算法与其他方法进行比较。EvoTopo工具和四个拓扑样例可从我们的主页下载;生成的拓扑被写入一个简单的文本文件,该文件可以导入到所选择的模拟器中。

Global disasters increasingly disrupt agricultural commodity flows, with food insecurity as a major consequence. Quantitative tools to assess such impacts are essential for resilience. We propose a hybrid Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) architecture to solve Variational Inequality (VI) problems in multi-commodity trade equilibria. While variational inequalities offer a rigorous method, their resolution via MARL faces stability and convergence challenges. Our actor–critic approach integrates a Gradient-based Learning Rate (GLR) scheduler, adaptive epsilon decay, prioritized replay, and a dual reward combining individual and centralized feedback. Agents representing supply and demand learn optimal strategies to reach equilibrium in simulated markets. Experiments, spanning stable conditions, dynamic price shifts, and route blockages, show faster convergence and stronger robustness than Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (MAPPO) and Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (MADDPG). Results highlight the promise of MARL for simulating economic behavior and optimizing decentralized decision-making in complex systems.
全球灾害日益扰乱农产品流通,粮食不安全是一个主要后果。评估这种影响的定量工具对复原力至关重要。我们提出了一种混合多智能体强化学习(MARL)架构来解决多商品贸易均衡中的变分不等式(VI)问题。虽然变分不等式提供了一种严格的方法,但通过MARL解决它们面临稳定性和收敛性的挑战。我们的参与者-评论家方法集成了基于梯度的学习率(GLR)调度程序、自适应epsilon衰减、优先级重播以及结合个人和集中反馈的双重奖励。代表供给和需求的代理在模拟市场中学习最优策略以达到均衡。实验表明,在稳定条件下,动态价格变化和路由阻塞的情况下,比多智能体近端策略优化(MAPPO)和多智能体深度确定性策略梯度(MADDPG)的收敛速度更快,鲁棒性更强。结果突出了MARL在模拟复杂系统中的经济行为和优化分散决策方面的前景。

DPNVC: A novel density-based probability VANET caching framework built upon the NDN DPNVC:一种基于NDN的基于密度的概率VANET缓存框架
IF 3.5 2区 计算机科学 Q2 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-28 DOI: 10.1016/j.simpat.2025.103218

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are an important component of modern network systems, supporting applications such as real-time entertainment, traffic notifications, and emergency services. However, the highly dynamic and rapidly changing topology of VANETs presents serious challenges for conventional data retrieval mechanisms designed for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), resulting in degraded performance. To address this issue, a novel Density-Based Probability VANET Caching Framework Built Upon the Named Data Networking (NDN) was proposed, namely DPNVC. This original framework dynamically calculates caching probabilities based on local traffic density, enabling to adapt to frequent topology changes. Additionally, the NDN communication model is applied to effectively suppress redundant packet forwarding in VANET environments. Empirical simulation results show that DPNVC significantly enhances Quality of Service (QoS) in various scenarios, including urban, highway, and city settings. Compared to baseline methods, it reduces link load by up to 25 %, decreases data retrieval time by up to 30 %, and improves the local satisfaction ratio by up to 66 %. It also maintains a competitive one-hop hit ratio performance.
车载自组织网络(vanet)是现代网络系统的重要组成部分,支持实时娱乐、交通通知和紧急服务等应用。然而,vanet的高度动态和快速变化的拓扑结构对传统的移动自组织网络(manet)数据检索机制提出了严峻的挑战,导致性能下降。为了解决这一问题,提出了一种基于命名数据网络(NDN)的基于密度的概率VANET缓存框架,即DPNVC。这个原始框架基于本地流量密度动态计算缓存概率,从而能够适应频繁的拓扑变化。此外,应用NDN通信模型有效地抑制了VANET环境下的冗余报文转发。实证仿真结果表明,DPNVC在城市、高速公路和城市等场景下显著提高了服务质量(QoS)。与基线方法相比,该方法最多可减少25%的链路负载,最多可减少30%的数据检索时间,并将本地满意度提高66%。它还保持了具有竞争力的单跳命中率性能。
