In present experiments, multilayered plates are in-contact four-layered thin steel plates and two types of deformation/failure modes were observed for them. Comparisons concerning deformation/failure modes, strain distributions and energy absorptions between the multilayered plate and its monolithic counterpart were conducted. It is found that the multilayered plate is much superior to its monolithic counterpart in the ability to deform against blast loading. Furthermore, under intense airblast loading, the multilayered plate can not only absorb much more energy but also effectively reduce the secondary destruction ability of structural fragments in comparison with its monolithic counterpart.展开更多

The experiments use five different horizontal grid spacings, i.e., 18, 15, 9, 6, and 3 km,respectively, under the two different types of analyses： one with radar data, the other without. Results show that, when radar data are not used in the analysis （i.e., only using the conventional observation data）, increasing horizontal resolution can improve the short-term prediction of 6 h with better representation of the frontal structure and higher scores of the rainfall prediction, particularly for heavy rain situations. When radar data are assimilated, it significantly improves the rainfall prediction for the first 6 h, especially the locality and intensity of precipitation. Moreover, using radar data in the analysis is more effective in improving the short-term prediction than increasing horizontal resolution of the model alone, which is demonstrated by the fact that by using radar data in the analysis and a coarser resolution of the 18-km grid spacing, the predicted results are as good as that by using a higher resolution of the 3-km grid spacing without radar data. Further study of the results under the radar data assimilation with grid spacing of 18-3 km reveals that the rainfall prediction is more sensitive to the grid spacing in heavy rain situations （more than 40 mm） than in ordinary rain situations （less than 40 mm）. When the horizontal grid spacing reduces from 6 to 3 km, there is no obvious improvement to the prediction results. This suggests that there is a limit to how far increasing horizontal resolution can do for the improvement of the prediction. Therefore, an effective approach to improve the short-term numerical prediction is to combine the radar data assimilation with an optimal horizontal resolution.展开更多

NWP was thus improved. Towards the end of 1990＇s, satellite observations were extensively used in NWP at ECMWF to upgrade the quality of analysis and forecasting. Subsequently, Chinese meteorologists also made some studies on the analysis and assimilation of satellite data. Jiang et al. were the first to apply satellite imagery in numerical simulation of typhoon-inflicted heavy rain. Shen et al. and Min et al. conducted variational analysis and numerical simulation of conventional soundings and unconventional cloud imagery for limited areas and found that inclusion of cloud imagery could greatly improve rainfall forecast by the model. Zhu et al. suggested that the introduction of satellite-retrieved humidity field could better depict horizontal mesoscale structure of the real world. All of the studies above have achieved lots of meaningful results.展开更多
