A new multi-layer moving-embedded grid technique is proposed to reduce the numerical dissipation of the tilt-rotor wake in a conversion mode. In this method, a grid system generated abound the rotor accounts for rigid blade motions, and a new searching scheme named adaptive inverse map （AIM） is established to search corresponding donor elements in the present moving- embedded grid system to translate information among the different computational zones. A dual-time method is employed to fulfill unsteady calculations on the flowfield of the tilt-rotor, and a second-order centered difference scheme considering artificial viscosity is used to calculate the flux. In order to improve the computing efficiency, the single program multiple data （SPMD） model parallel acceleration technology is adopted, according to the characteristic of the current grid system. The lift and drag coefficients of an NACA0012 airfoil, the dynamic pressure distributions below a typical rotor plane, and the sectional pressure distributions on a three-bladed Branum- Tung tilt-rotor in hover flight are calculated respectively, and the present VBM and RBM are val- idated by comparing the calculated results with available experimental data. Then, unsteady aero- dynamic forces and flowfields of an XV-15 tilt-rotor in different modes, such as a fixed conversion mode at different tilt angles （15°, 30°, 60°） and a whole conversion mode which converses from 0° to 90°, are numerically simulated by the VBM and RBM respectively. By analyses and comparisons on the simulated results of unsteady aerodynamic forces of the tilt-rotor in different modes, some meaningful conclusions about distorted blade-tip vortex distribution and unsteady aerodynamic force variation in a conversion mode are obtained, and these investigation results could provide a good foundation for tilt-rotor aircraft design in the future.展开更多

The W1/cavity/W2 structure breaks the spatial symmetry and successfully converts the even（odd） mode to the odd（even） mode in the W2 waveguide during the forward（backward）transmission. When considering the incidence of only the even mode, the optical diode effect emerges and achieves approximate 35 d B unidirectionality at the resonant frequency. Moreover, owing to the narrow bandpass feature and the flexibility of the tuning cavity, utilization of the proposed structure as a wavelength filter is demonstrated in a device with a Y-branch splitter. Here, we provide a heuristic design for a mode converter, optical diode, and wavelength filter derived from the coupling effect between a cavity and adjacent waveguides, and expect that the proposed structure can be applied as a building block in future all-optical integrated circuits.展开更多

The Kelvin–Voigt equations are employed to calculate the sound field created by focusing a 256-element planar phased array through a monkey skull with the time-reversal method. Mode conversions between compressional and shear waves exist in the skull. Therefore, the wave field separation method is introduced to calculate the contributions of the two waves to the acoustic intensity and the heat source, respectively. The Pennes equation is used to depict the temperature field induced by ultrasound. Five computational models with the same incident angle of 0？and different distances from the focus for the skull and three computational models at different incident angles and the same distance from the focus for the skull are studied. Numerical results indicate that for all computational models, the acoustic intensity at the focus with mode conversions is 12.05%less than that without mode conversions on average. For the temperature rise, this percentage is 12.02%. Besides, an underestimation of both the acoustic intensity and the temperature rise in the skull tends to occur if mode conversions are ignored. However, if the incident angle exceeds 30？, the rules of the over-and under-estimation may be reversed. Moreover,shear waves contribute 20.54% of the acoustic intensity and 20.74% of the temperature rise in the skull on average for all computational models. The percentage of the temperature rise in the skull from shear waves declines with the increase of the duration of the ultrasound.展开更多

The slenderness ratio of the riser model was set as 169, and the Reynolds numbers are 1600-14400. The dynamic responses of riser models versus reduced velocity were analyzed, and the spanwise displacement, frequency,and trajectory of the mode conversion from the lower to the higher mode were explored. The results revealed that the riser model with a higher mass ratio excites a higher number of modes. The conversion region of multi-mode competition exists and narrows with the increasing mass ratio. Mode conversion is continuous and manifests as the transmission of peaks and troughs in mode shape: the peaks and troughs of mode shape move up in the mode stable development region and move down in the mode conversion region. The single-mode dominating vibration exhibits a standing wave feature, and the traveling wave feature is significant in the mode conversion region. Furthermore, the frequency jump is always transmitted from the trough to the peak of the mode shape, and finally, all the axial positions vibrate at the same frequency. The trajectory in the mode conversion region deviates from the 8-shape and recovers the standard8-shape at the middle and late stages of the mode stable development region.展开更多

Concave tip fiber can convert a Gaussian beam profile to a flat top beam profile with a uniform intensity distribution. A flat top beam with intensity variation of approx. 5% and flat top diameter to spot diameter ratio of 67% has been achieved. This device can also change the beam shape from a Gaussian to a donut by moving the observation plane. A flat top multimode fiber beam delivery is attractive for applications which require high power and uniform intensity distribution. In single mode fiber, concave tips could be used to reduce the beam spot size diameter, enabling efficient light coupling from a single mode fiber to an integrated optical waveguide.展开更多

This letter reports the special properties of elastic wave propagation in magnetoelastic multilayered composites with negative permeability as compared to those in counterpart structures with positive permeability. These novel properties of elastic waves are discerned from the diversified dispersion curves, which represent the propagation and attenuation characteristics of elastic waves. To compute these dispersion curves, the method of reverberation-ray matrix is extended for the analysis of elastic waves in magnetoelastic multilayered composites. Although only the results of a single piezomagnetic and a binary magnetoelastic layers with mechanically free and magnetically short surfaces as well as perfect interface are illustrated in the numerical examples, the analysis is applicable to magnetoelastic multilayered structures with other kinds of boundaries/interfaces.展开更多

To design a new ion cyclotron range of frequencies （ICRF） antenna in LHD, calculation for a simple antenna model is conducted using three-dimensional electrical magnetic code （high frequency structure simulator, HFSS） for an water loading as an imaginary plasma with low heating efficiency. At resonant frequencies, antenna loading is sensitive to strap width, and resonant frequencies are strongly related to strap height. There is no differences of RF current profile on the strap surface between resonant frequency and non-resonant frequency. The strap should be perpendicularly placed against the magnetic field line, since Faraday-shield angle will lead to a decrease in the effective antenna height.展开更多

We first gave wave accessibility and resonance results, which agree well with theoretical prediction. In addition, we further investigated the antenna power spectrum with different antenna phases in the presence of the plasma and compared it with that in a vacuum,which directly indicates wave coupling and plasma absorption. Furthermore, for the case with zero phasing difference, our simulation results show that, albeit the launch is away from the accessibility region, tunneling effect and mode conversion occurred, which enhanced coupling and absorption. Moreover, consistent interactions between the injected wave and the plasma concerning various antenna phase differences are shown. We presented the inchoate response of the plasma in terms of the launching directions. Our results could be favorable for the engineering design of wave heating experiments with a tunable phased antenna array in linear devices, such as simple magnetic mirrors or tandem mirrors.展开更多

文摘The microwave reflectometer is a popular non-intrusive plasma density diagnostic instrument on tokamaks that provides centimeter and millisecond level resolution.The ultrashort-pulse reflectometer(USPR)achieves plasma density measurement by emitting a chirped wave containing a broadband signal and measuring the time of flight from different frequency components.A USPR system is currently being built on EAST(Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak)to meet the needs of diagnostic of the pedestal density evolution,such as high-frequency small edge-localized modes.In order to predict the density reconstruction of the EAST USPR system,this work presents a numerical simulation study of the beam propagation of the chirped wave of extraordinary waves(X-mode)in the plasma based on Python.The electron density profile has been successfully reconstructed by the reflection signal interpretation.The small gap between the right-hand cut-off layer and the electron cyclotron resonance layer,due to the low plasma density on the plasma edge,causes unexpected leakage from the transmitting microwave beam to the pedestal and the core region.This kind of‘tunneling’effect will cause the reflected signal to have energy loss in the low-frequency band.The study also discusses the influence of the poloidal magnetic field on the reflected signal.The spatial variation of the poloidal magnetic field will lead to the conversion between extraordinary(X)waves and ordinary(O)waves,which leads to energy loss in the reflected signals.The simulation results show that the‘tunneling’effect and the O-X mode conversion effect have little effect on the EAST USPR system.Therefore,the currently designed transmit power meets the working requirements.

文摘Ion cyclotron resonance heating(ICRH)stands out as a widely utilized and cost-effective auxiliary method for plasma heating,bearing significant importance in achieving high-performance discharges in p-^(11)B plasmas.In light of the specific context of p-^(11)B plasma in the EHL-2 device,we conducted a comprehensive scan of the fundamental physical parameters of the antenna using the full-wave simulation program TORIC.Our preliminary result indicated that for p-^(11)B plasma,optimal ion heating parameters include a frequency of 40 MHz,with a high toroidal mode number like N_(?)=28 to heat the majority H ions.In addition,we discussed the impact of concentration of minority ion species on ion cyclotron resonance heating when^(11)B serves as the heavy minority species.The significant difference in charge-to-mass ratio between boron and hydrogen ions results in a considerable distance between the hybrid resonance layer and the tow inverted cyclotron resonance layer,necessitating a quite low boron ion concentration to achieve effective minority heating.We also considered another method of direct heating of hydrogen ions in the presence of boron ion minority.It is found that at appropriate boron ion concentrations(X(^(11)B)~17%),the position of the hybrid resonance layer approaches that of the hydrogen ion cyclotron resonance layer,thereby altering the polarization at this position and significantly enhancing hydrogen ion fundamental absorption.

文摘We report on a conceptually new type of waveguide in glass by femtosecond laser direct writing,namely,photonic latticelike waveguide(PLLW).The PLLWfs core consists of well-distributed and densified tracks with a sub-micron size of 0.62μm in width.Specifically,a PLLW inscribed as hexagonal-shape input with a ring-shape output side was implemented to converse Gaussian mode to doughnut-like mode,and high conversion efficiency was obtained with a low insertion loss of 1.65 dB at 976 nm.This work provides a new freedom for design and fabrication of the refractive index profile of waveguides with sub-micron resolution and broadens the functionalities and application scenarios of femtosecond laser direct-writing waveguides in future 3D integrated photonic systems.

文摘Asymmetric mode transformation in waveguide is of great significance for on-chip integrated devices with one-way effect,while it is challenging to achieve asymmetric nonlinear-mode-conversion(NMC)due to the limitations imposed by phase-matching.In this work,we theoretically proposed a new scheme for realizing asymmetric NMC by combining frequencydoubling process and periodic PT symmetric modulation in an optical waveguide.By engineering the one-way momentum from PT symmetric modulation,we have demonstrated the unidirectional conversion from pump to second harmonic with desired guided modes.Our findings offer new opportunities for manipulating nonlinear optical fields with PT symmetry,which could further boost more exploration on on-chip nonlinear devices assisted by non-Hermitian optics.
文摘A new class of all-fiber beam shaping devices has been realized by inverse etching the end face of single mode and multimode fibers to form a concave cone tip. Concave tip fiber can convert a Gaussian beam profile to a flat top beam profile with a uniform intensity distribution. A flat top beam with intensity variation of approx. 5% and flat top diameter to spot diameter ratio of 67% has been achieved. This device can also change the beam shape from a Gaussian to a donut by moving the observation plane. A flat top multimode fiber beam delivery is attractive for applications which require high power and uniform intensity distribution. In single mode fiber, concave tips could be used to reduce the beam spot size diameter, enabling efficient light coupling from a single mode fiber to an integrated optical waveguide.

文摘With the advent of left-handed magnetic materials, it is desirable to develop high-performance wave devices based on their novel properties of wave propagation. This letter reports the special properties of elastic wave propagation in magnetoelastic multilayered composites with negative permeability as compared to those in counterpart structures with positive permeability. These novel properties of elastic waves are discerned from the diversified dispersion curves, which represent the propagation and attenuation characteristics of elastic waves. To compute these dispersion curves, the method of reverberation-ray matrix is extended for the analysis of elastic waves in magnetoelastic multilayered composites. Although only the results of a single piezomagnetic and a binary magnetoelastic layers with mechanically free and magnetically short surfaces as well as perfect interface are illustrated in the numerical examples, the analysis is applicable to magnetoelastic multilayered structures with other kinds of boundaries/interfaces.

文摘In large helical device （LHD）, antenna loadings are different for minority ion cyclotron heating （MICH with 38.47 MHz） and mode-converted ion Bernstein wave heating （MC-IBW with 28.4 MHz）, and it is necessary to improve antenna loading with low heating efficiency to avoid arching on transmission line. To design a new ion cyclotron range of frequencies （ICRF） antenna in LHD, calculation for a simple antenna model is conducted using three-dimensional electrical magnetic code （high frequency structure simulator, HFSS） for an water loading as an imaginary plasma with low heating efficiency. At resonant frequencies, antenna loading is sensitive to strap width, and resonant frequencies are strongly related to strap height. There is no differences of RF current profile on the strap surface between resonant frequency and non-resonant frequency. The strap should be perpendicularly placed against the magnetic field line, since Faraday-shield angle will lead to a decrease in the effective antenna height.

文摘In this work, we performed first-principles electromagnetic-kinetic simulations to study a phased antenna array and its interaction with deuterium plasmas within the lower hybrid range of frequency. We first gave wave accessibility and resonance results, which agree well with theoretical prediction. In addition, we further investigated the antenna power spectrum with different antenna phases in the presence of the plasma and compared it with that in a vacuum,which directly indicates wave coupling and plasma absorption. Furthermore, for the case with zero phasing difference, our simulation results show that, albeit the launch is away from the accessibility region, tunneling effect and mode conversion occurred, which enhanced coupling and absorption. Moreover, consistent interactions between the injected wave and the plasma concerning various antenna phase differences are shown. We presented the inchoate response of the plasma in terms of the launching directions. Our results could be favorable for the engineering design of wave heating experiments with a tunable phased antenna array in linear devices, such as simple magnetic mirrors or tandem mirrors.

文摘The helicon plasma source,which generates high thrust and high impulse,is of vital importance for magnetoplasma rocket engines.In this work,a multi-component,two-dimensional,axisymmetric fluid model coupled with an electromagnetic field was developed to model the helicon discharge.The simulation results demonstrate that:(i)the discharge mode changes twice—each conversion is accompanied by a plasma density jump and an electron temperature peak in the discharge;(ii)when the input current increases,the plasma density increases,and ionization occurs faster;(iii)the background magnetic field clearly enhances the discharge;(iv)the plasma density may be smaller if the discharge has not entered the wave mode.
