Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency and percentage water balance error were used as performance measures. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) method was used to calibrate the rainfall-runoff models. Different lengths of data series ranging from one year to ten years, randomly sampled, were used to study the impact of calibration data series length. Fifty-five relatively unimpaired catchments located all over Australia with daily precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, and streamflow data were tested to obtain more general conclusions. The results show that longer calibration data series do not necessarily result in better model performance. In general, eight years of data are sufficient to obtain steady estimates of model performance and parameters for the SIMHYD model. It is also shown that most humid catchments require fewer calibration data to obtain a good performance and stable parameter values. The model performs better in humid and semi-humid catchments than in arid catchments. Our results may have useful and interesting implications for the efficiency of using limited observation data for hydrological model calibration in different climates.展开更多

Little work has been conducted tostudy the impacts of realistic versus global ranges as well as model complexities on the calibrationand uncertainty estimates. The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate these impacts byemploying Bayesian Stochastic Inversion (BSI) to the Chameleon Surface Model (CHASM). The CHASM wasdesigned to explore the general aspects of land-surface energy balance representation within acommon modeling framework that can be run from a simple energy balance formulation to a complexmosaic type structure. The BSI is an uncertainty estimation technique based on Bayes theorem,importance sampling, and very fast simulated annealing. The model forcing data and surface flux datawere collected at seven sites representing a wide range of climate and vegetation conditions. Foreach site, four experiments were performed with simple and complex CHASM formulations as well asrealistic and global parameter ranges. Twenty eight experiments were conducted and 50 000 parametersets were used for each run. The results show that the use of global and realistic ranges givessimilar simulations for both modes for most sites, but the global ranges tend to produce someunreasonable optimal parameter values. Comparison of simple and complex modes shows that the simplemode has more parameters with unreasonable optimal values. Use of parameter ranges and modelcomplexities have significant impacts on frequency distribution of parameters, marginal posteriorprobability density functions, and estimates of uncertainty of simulated sensible and latent heatfluxes. Comparison between model complexity and parameter ranges shows that the former has moresignificant impacts on parameter and uncertainty estimations.展开更多

Using National Meteorological Center (NMC) Reanalysis 6-hourly surface flux data and National Center for Environmental Prediction/Department of Energy (NCEP/DOE) Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project II (AMIP-II) 6-hourly Reanalysis Gaussian Grid data, two experiments (I and II) were designed to investigate the impact of the percentages of sand and clay in the shallow soil in CoLM on its ability to simulate shallow soil moisture. A third experiment (III) was designed to study the shallow soil moisture and latent heat flux simultaneously. In all the three experiments, after the optimization stage, the percentages of sand and clay of the shallow soil were used to predict the shallow soil moisture in the following month. The results show that the optimal parameters can enable CoLM to better simulate shallow soil moisture, with the simulation results of CoLM after the double-parameter optimal ex- periment being better than the single-parameter optimal experiment in the optimization slot. Purthermore, the optimal parameters were able to significantly improve the prediction results of CoLM at the prediction stage. In addition, whether or not the atmospheric forcing and observational data are accurate can seriously affect the results of optimization, and the more accurate the data are, the more significant the results of optimization may be.展开更多

Determination of the electron beam parameters for MC simulation is often estimated using trial and error methods. However, this can be tedious and time-consuming. This paper aims to validate MC simulated data using 1D gamma analysis for 6MV photon beam to obtain the optimal parameters. BEAMnrc codes were used to generate phase space files for conventional field sizes 10 × 10 cm^2, 6 × 6 cm^2, 4 × 4 cm^2 and small field sizes 2 ×2 cm^2, 1 ×1 cm^2, 0.5 ×0.5 cm^2. For conventional field sizes, simulations were benchmarked against Golden Beam Data (GBD). Simulations for small fields were benchmarked against measurements obtained using EDGE Detector and PTW Diode SRS detector in a Sun Nuclear 3D scanner. Dose profiles in water were calculated using DOSXYZnrc codes. Initial reference parameters were approximated using average percentage dose differences of different mean electron energy and electron beam radial distribution (Full Width at Half Maximum, FWHM). Subsequently, the optimal parameters were validated by 1D gamma analysis using varying gamma criteria from γ3%%/0.3mm to γ2.0%/2.0mm for depth dose and lateral dose profiles. Comparisons were performed along the central region at depth dose 1.6 cm . Optimal parameters were found to be unique for small field sizes. As field size decreases, smaller FWHM were required to match measured data. By using 95% passing rate, a generic set of optimal electron beam parameters in a MC model for all field sizes could be accurately determined. Our findings provide MC users a set of optimal parameters with sufficient accuracy for MC simulation work.展开更多

In this study, a microbial electrolysis cell coupled anaerobic digestion (MEC-AD) system was constructed and integrated with magnetic biochar (MBC). The critical parameters (i.e., applied voltage, anode-to-cathode area ratio, and cathode mesh size) were systematically optimized through orthogonal experiments to investigate their impacts on chemical oxygen demand (COD), organic transformation pathways, and microbial community succession in the system. The results demonstrated a maximum COD removal efficiency of 59.7%. The optimal combination of parameters included an applied voltage of 1.2 V, an anode-to-cathode area ratio of 1:0.5, and a cathode mesh size of 200 mesh. Furthermore, spectral analysis revealed significant degradation of aromatic compounds with conjugated double bonds and humic acid-like substances, which indicated that electrochemical stimulation effectively facilitated molecular chain cleavage and enhanced microbial metabolism. Long-chain amides (such as 13-Docosenamide, (Z)-) were hydrolyzed into fatty acids and further transformed into alkanes. On the other hand, aromatic pollutants like 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol underwent progressive mineralization through hydroxylation and ring-opening reactions. Under applied voltage of 1 V, electroactive bacteria (i.e., Comamonas (22.3%) and Pseudomonas (8.1%)) in anode biofilms formed metabolic networks with fermentative bacteria (Soehngenia) and synergistically enhanced electron transfer and organic reduction with heterotrophic bacteria at the cathode. This research provides theoretical insights into optimized degradation mechanisms of MEC-AD systems and the practical feasibility of its application for landfill leachate treatment.展开更多

However, membrane fouling remains the primary bottleneck hindering long-term stable and cost-effective operation of MBR systems. The development and application of low-fouling membranes offer a novel approach to mitigate fouling and reduce operational energy consumption. This study investigates the impact of membrane materials and structures on fouling behavior across various membrane configurations, elucidates the mechanisms by which factors such as pore size, surface hydrophilicity, and structural design influence fouling trends, and establishes an optimization strategy for membrane configuration based on key parameters including flux rate, aeration intensity, filtration cycles, and chemical cleaning frequency. Results demonstrate that under constraints including influent quality characteristics, treatment scale, and operational costs, selecting appropriate low-fouling membrane components requires adopting a tiered selection strategy emphasizing "material prioritization, configuration alignment, and parameter iteration." By integrating subcritical flow operation, intermittent aeration control, and online maintenance cleaning, this study optimizes process parameters to achieve synergistic improvements in both fouling resistance and operational energy efficiency. The findings provide comprehensive technical references and operational guidance for MBR system design and operational management.展开更多

By using 95% passing rate, a generic set of optimal electron beam parameters in a MC model for all field sizes could be accurately determined. Our findings provide MC users a set of optimal parameters with sufficient accuracy for MC simulation work.

摘要The synergistic mechanism of multiple process parameters on the solidification structure of niobium containing austenitic stainless steel during continuous casting is complex,which seriously affects the quality of continuous casting billets and seamless pipes.In order to optimize the quality of continuous casting billet,a finite element model of solidification and heat transfer in continuous casting process was established for the secondary cooling process of continuous casting billet.The control variable method was used to explore the influence of casting speed and superheat on the solidification process.At the same time,an orthogonal scheme was designed to study the coupling effect of multiple process parameters on the heat transfer and solidification state of continuous casting billets,and optimized process parameters were selected.The optimization results of process parameters were verified through production experiments,and it is found that the enrichment of coarse niobium compounds directly causes the initiation and propagation of inner wall cracks during the large deformation hot piercing of S30432 seamless tubes.Process parameter optimization,especially the synergistic effect of the decrease of superheat and increase of specific water flow promotes the grain refinement and expension of equiaxed crystal zone,thereby mitigating the segregation of Nb elements and improving the distribution of niobium compounds.

摘要During mine roadway excavation in jointed and fractured rock masses,drilling and blasting remains a widely adopted method.However,the complex interaction between blasting-induced stress waves and pre-existing structural planes often leads to overbreak,loosening of the surrounding rock,and an expanded excavation damage zone,posing significant challenges to roadway stability and construction safety.Most existing studies are limited to single-factor analyses or assume homogeneous rock mass behavior,leaving a critical gap in understanding the coupled effects of joint geometric parameters and blasting parameters on damage evolution.This study addresses this gap by developing a numerical model using LSDYNA to investigate blast damage control in jointed rock masses during roadway excavation.A systematic parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of joint dip angle(α),joint thickness(h),joint position,and blast-hole spacing(d)on blasting performance.The results show that atα=45°,particle vibration velocity at the monitoring points reaches its maximum,and fragmentation is most pronounced along the blast-hole connection line.Reducing the blast-hole spacing to 60 cm increases the peak effective stress at the joint plane to 72.8 MPa,yielding optimal fragmentation while mitigating excessive rock damage commonly associated with larger spacings.As joint thickness increases from 4 cm to 8 cm,the peak effective stress at the joint plane drops from 94.7 MPa to 70.8 MPa.This decrease of approximately 33.7%indicates that thicker joints substantially enhance stress-wave attenuation and energy dissipation.Moreover,increasing the distance between the joint and the blast hole from 5 cm to 15 cm significantly reduces damage in the rock mass between the source and the joint plane.Field validation demonstrates that the optimized smooth blasting scheme,compared to conventional blasting,improves the half-hole rate from 33.3%to 93.3%,increases the average advance per cycle from 2.43 m to 2.92 m,and reduces the depth of blast-induced damage from approximately 2.4 m to 1.5 m.These findings confirm that the proposed blasting parameters markedly enhance excavation quality and effectively limit blast-induced damage in jointed rock masses.

摘要To address the dimensional accuracy challenges in investment casting of DD6 nickel-based superalloy hollow turbine blades,a multi-parameter collaborative optimization and deformation response prediction method based on response surface methodology was proposed.Using a Box-Behnken design,with pouring temperature,shell temperature,and withdrawal rate as key variables,deformation response data were obtained through numerical simulation,and a second-order model incorporating linear,interaction,and quadratic terms was established to characterize the nonlinear coupling effects of process parameters on dimensional deformation.The results indicate that withdrawal rate is the dominant factor influencing deformation,while shell temperature exhibits a pronounced“U”-shaped nonlinear trend.Significant interactions between process parameters are also observed.The constructed model demonstrates high predictive accuracy,with R2 of 0.978 and an RMSE of 0.0026 mm,and exhibits strong generalization capability,enabling the identification of optimal parameter combinations even beyond the simulated dataset.Compared with conventional orthogonal design methods,the maximum deformation of the optimized process was reduced from 0.2021 mm to 0.1905 mm,achieving an improvement of approximately 5.74%.This work provides a theoretical foundation and practical strategy for dimensional accuracy control and multi-parameter process optimization in the manufacturing of complex thin-walled castings.

摘要Laser-assisted drilling combined with full-size polycrystalline diamond compact(PDC)bit is considered a feasible solution to enhance the drilling performance of engineering machinery.In this method,determining the optimal collaborative control parameters that support rapid drilling is crucial for improving the combined performance.This study used average drilling speed,average torque,and total specificenergy for quantitative analysis to characterize the efficiencyand economy of combined rock breaking.Given the advantage of the response surface methodology in providing high-precision predictions with limited experimental data,regression models of the average drilling speed,average torque,and total specificenergy were established.The results showed that as the laser power and irradiation time increased,the average drilling speed firstincreased rapidly and then leveled off,while the average torque decreased sharply before decelerating.The total specificenergy initially decreased and then increased,with the combined drilling outperforming conventional mechanical drilling within specific parameter ranges.As the weight on bit increased,both the average torque and total specificenergy first decreased and then increased.With rising rotating speed,the average torque exhibited a trend of initial increase,then decrease,and finalincrease,whereas the total specificenergy increased slowly at firstand then sharply.Both parameters exhibited optimal values at which the average torque and total specific energy remained at minimal levels.For granite combined drilling,the optimal performance was achieved at a laser power of 3000 W,irradiation time of 31 s,the weight on bit of 2.4 kN,and the rotating speed of 97 r/min.
摘要This research examines the optimization of motion strategy and control parameters for an Autonomous Underwater Glider(AUG)navigating between two points.For scenarios with specified initial position,target position,and heading,this study proposes a three-dimensional multimodal path planning methodology based on the 3D-Dubins path,ensuring both task fulfillment and motion feasibility within AUG dynamics constraints.The path planning approach incorporates ocean current interference and utilizes task objectives and control parameters as inputs.It systematically calculates information including horizontal Dubins type,vertical plane motion modes,and turning point depths to generate the path planning solution.The motion control strategy implements initial control parameter values and utilizes depth measurements as evaluation criteria.Through control parameter adjustments,the strategy facilitates tracking of the designated path.This control approach requires minimal feedback information,with computations executable by shore-based facilities,thereby reducing computational and measurement demands on the AUG and enhancing operational reliability.For specified task objectives,multi-objective optimization of control parameters is conducted using the proposed path planning method and motion control strategy,yielding optimized control parameters and corresponding motion control strategies for various operational requirements.
摘要The shale gas development in China faces challenges such as complex reservoir conditions and high development costs.Based on the pore pressure and geostress coupling theory,this paper studies the geostress evolution laws and fracture network characteristics of shale gas infill wells.A mechanism model of CN platform logging data and geomechanical parameters is established to simulate the influence of parent well’s production on the geostress in the infill well area.It is suggested that with the increase of production time,normal fault stress state and horizontal stress deflection will occur.The smaller the parent well spacing and the longer the production time,the earlier the normal fault stress state appears and the larger the range.Based on the model,the fracture network morphology and construction parameters of infill wells are optimized.parentparentparentparent The results indicate that:1:A well spacing of 500 m achieves a Pareto optimum between“full reserve coverage”and“stress barrier”;2:A parent well recovery degree of 30%corresponds to the critical point of stress reversal,where the lateral deflection rate of the infill fracture is less than 8%and the SRV loss is minimized;3:6-cluster intensive completion with twice the liquid intensity increases the fracture complexity index by 1.7 times,enhances well group EUR by 15.4%,and reduces single-well cost by 22%.This research fills the theoretical gap in the collaborative optimization of“multi-parameter,multi-objective and multi-constraint”and provide parameter optimization basis for shale gas infill well development in China and help to improve the development efficiency and economic benefits.
摘要Rotary gas-gas heat exchangers(GGHs)are pivotal for waste heat recovery in low-and mediumtemperature denitrification systems of cement kilns.This study examines the performance of GGHs within such systems by coupling computational fluid dynamics(CFD)with the response surface method(RSM),introducing overall system performance(OSP)as the principal optimization criterion.The investigation systematically elucidates the effects of treated flue gas inlet temperature,inlet velocity,and rotor speed on GGH efficiency.Findings reveal that OSP increases with rotor speed but reaches a plateau beyond 1 rpm;it decreases with higher inlet velocity and increases with higher inlet temperature.Response surface analysis identifies treated flue gas inlet temperature as the most influential parameter,highlighting a synergistic effect between rotor speed and inlet temperature,alongside an antagonistic interaction between inlet temperature and inlet velocity.To ensure safe system operation,engineering constraints were incorporated into the optimization framework using a Box-Behnken design.The optimal operational parameters were determined as a treated flue gas inlet temperature of 250℃,inlet velocity of 8 m/s,and rotor speed of 1 rpm,yielding a maximum OSP of 107.74.The integrated CFD-RSM methodology and constraint-aware optimization strategy presented in this study offer a practical reference for enhancing the operational efficiency of industrial waste heat recovery systems,particularly in cement kiln SCR applications.

摘要Landfill leachate has a highly complex composition containing hazardous substances and refractory organic compounds, which makes its treatment challenging. In this study, a microbial electrolysis cell coupled anaerobic digestion (MEC-AD) system was constructed and integrated with magnetic biochar (MBC). The critical parameters (i.e., applied voltage, anode-to-cathode area ratio, and cathode mesh size) were systematically optimized through orthogonal experiments to investigate their impacts on chemical oxygen demand (COD), organic transformation pathways, and microbial community succession in the system. The results demonstrated a maximum COD removal efficiency of 59.7%. The optimal combination of parameters included an applied voltage of 1.2 V, an anode-to-cathode area ratio of 1:0.5, and a cathode mesh size of 200 mesh. Furthermore, spectral analysis revealed significant degradation of aromatic compounds with conjugated double bonds and humic acid-like substances, which indicated that electrochemical stimulation effectively facilitated molecular chain cleavage and enhanced microbial metabolism. Long-chain amides (such as 13-Docosenamide, (Z)-) were hydrolyzed into fatty acids and further transformed into alkanes. On the other hand, aromatic pollutants like 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol underwent progressive mineralization through hydroxylation and ring-opening reactions. Under applied voltage of 1 V, electroactive bacteria (i.e., Comamonas (22.3%) and Pseudomonas (8.1%)) in anode biofilms formed metabolic networks with fermentative bacteria (Soehngenia) and synergistically enhanced electron transfer and organic reduction with heterotrophic bacteria at the cathode. This research provides theoretical insights into optimized degradation mechanisms of MEC-AD systems and the practical feasibility of its application for landfill leachate treatment.

摘要The vibrations of the propulsion shaft systems have a critical impact on the performance and noise control of underwater vehicles.Bearings are essential for the system's dynamic performance as the support components.Existing studies have primarily focused on the impacts of the individual bearing parameters on system vibrations,while the effects of bearing designation,clearance,tolerance,and bearing arrangement on the multi-bearing propulsion shaft system dynamics remain unclear.There is a lack of optimized design for multi-bearing parameters in propulsion shaft systems.A comprehensive dynamic model of the multi-bearing propulsion shaft system is developed in this study,which includes key components such as support bearings and the propeller.The effects of different bearings at different positions and bearing parameters on key vibration indicators(such as acceleration and displacement)are revealed through dynamic simulations.Based on the simulation results,a vibration optimization model for a multi-bearing propulsion shaft system is proposed,which can select effective bearing parameters.The optimal bearing parameters of the propulsion shaft system can be obtained through the optimization model.The findings not only provide quantitative criteria for low-vibration design of underwater propulsion systems,but also provide a theoretical reference for modeling and vibration control of complex multi-support rotating machinery.

摘要Purpose-The indoor vibration compaction test(IVCT)was a key step in controlling the compaction quality for high-speed railway graded aggregate(HRGA),which currently had a research gap on the assessment indicators and compaction parameters.Design/methodology/approach-To address these issues,a novel multi-indicator IVCT method was proposed,including physical indicator dry density(ρd)and mechanical indicators dynamic stiffness(Krb)and bearing capacity coefficient(K20).Then,a series of IVCTs on HRGA under different compaction parameters were conducted with an improved vibration compactor,which could monitor the physical-mechanical indicators in real-time.Finally,the optimal vibration compaction parameters,including the moisture content(ω),the diameter-to-maximum particle size ratio(Rd),the thickness-to-maximum particle size ratio(Rh),the vibration frequency(f),the vibration mass(Mc)and the eccentric distance(re),were determined based on the evolution characteristics for the physical-mechanical indicators during compaction.Findings-All results indicated that theρd gradually increased and then stabilized,and the Krb initially increased and then decreased.Moreover,the inflection time of the Krb was present as the optimal compaction time(Tlp)during compaction.Additionally,optimal compaction was achieved whenωwas the water-holding content after mud pumping,Rd was 3.4,Rh was 3.5,f was the resonance frequency,and the ratio between the excitation force and the Mc was 1.8.Originality/value-The findings of this paper were significant for the quality control of HRGA compaction.
摘要Membrane bioreactor technology represents an efficient wastewater treatment method widely employed for treating municipal domestic sewage and industrial wastewater. However, membrane fouling remains the primary bottleneck hindering long-term stable and cost-effective operation of MBR systems. The development and application of low-fouling membranes offer a novel approach to mitigate fouling and reduce operational energy consumption. This study investigates the impact of membrane materials and structures on fouling behavior across various membrane configurations, elucidates the mechanisms by which factors such as pore size, surface hydrophilicity, and structural design influence fouling trends, and establishes an optimization strategy for membrane configuration based on key parameters including flux rate, aeration intensity, filtration cycles, and chemical cleaning frequency. Results demonstrate that under constraints including influent quality characteristics, treatment scale, and operational costs, selecting appropriate low-fouling membrane components requires adopting a tiered selection strategy emphasizing "material prioritization, configuration alignment, and parameter iteration." By integrating subcritical flow operation, intermittent aeration control, and online maintenance cleaning, this study optimizes process parameters to achieve synergistic improvements in both fouling resistance and operational energy efficiency. The findings provide comprehensive technical references and operational guidance for MBR system design and operational management.

摘要We propose a method to determine the optimal power of the microwave resonance transition that simultaneously improves the signal-to-noise ratio and reduces line width based on saturation broadening theory and experiment. Saturation broadening spectra of the ground state hyperfine transition of trapped 199Hg+ ions are measured and analyzed. The value of the optimal microwave power is obtained by using the proposed method and is verified. Rabi oscillations decay spectra of trapped 199Hg+ ions are observed and the optimal microwave irradiation time for the maximum transition signal intensity is determined. This work will help to improve the short-term frequency stability of the mercury ion microwave frequency standard.
