摘要Achieving uniform X-ray irradiation in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion(ICF)is a key challenge for successful capsule implosion.Spherical hohlraums,particularly those with octahedral laser entrance holes(LEHs),are an alternative to the cylindrical hohlraums currently considered for ICF at NIF(USA)and LMJ(France).These spherical hohlraums are advantageous in terms of irradiation uniformity on the fusion capsule because,owing to their octahedral symmetry,low-order asymmetries cancel out intrinsically.However,they may be less favorable from an energetic point of view,primarily owing to radiation losses through their multiple LEHs.The net balance of these advantages and disadvantages is difficult to determine,because,unlike cylindrical hohlraums,they require fully 3D modeling.To address this,a new version of the MULTI-3D simulation code has been developed.MULTI-3D is a 3D radiation-hydrodynamics code with arbitrary Langrangian-Eulerian(ALE)hydrodynamics,multigroup SN radiation transport,and ray-tracing laser deposition.Using this tool,several aspects of the behavior of spherical hohlraums have been analyzed,with special attention to phenomena inaccessible to 2D modeling.In these targets,laser beams strike the inner walls at very oblique angles,and the expansion of plasma significantly alters the locations where primary X rays are produced.Furthermore,the complex distribution of laser hot spots leads to mutual interactions,where plasma bubbles from one beam intersect the path of another.The laser-to-X-ray energy conversion efficiency has been analyzed as a function of key parameters.The symmetry on the capsule has also been evaluated,revealing nonuniformities of less than 1%.

摘要We derive closed-form solutions to the three-dimensional Eshelby's problem of a spherical Eshelby inclusion undergoing uniform deviatoric eigenstrains concentrically embedded in an isotropic elastic finite spherical domain with a traction-free or rigidly clamped boundary.The interface between the inclusion and its surrounding domain is assumed to be of Steigmann-Ogden type.Our solutions indicate that the stresses and strains within the spherical inclusion are generally nonuniform because of the effects of the finite spherical domain and the Steigmann-Ogden imperfect interface.The internal elastic field of stresses and strains is uniform within the spherical inclusion when a condition that relates the single interface parameter to the geometric parameter and Poisson's ratio of the finite domain is satisfied.When the spherical edge is rigidly clamped,a GurtinMurdoch interface is found to be sufficient to achieve this interior uniformity property.In contrast,when the spherical edge is traction-free,a Steigmann-Ogden interface with nonzero and positive bending stiffness parameters must be used to achieve the interior uniformity property.

摘要The cavity expansion model(CEM)holds significant engineering value for high-speed impact and blast analysis,yet its theoretical development suffers from three critical limitations:failure to quantify the influence of elastic strain accumulation on initial cavity size,solution discontinuity caused by conceptual confusion between elastic/plastic compressibility,and inadequate applicability of traditional solutions to non-zero initial cavity conditions.This study establishes a unified theoretical framework within the Eulerian framework based on the quasi-static spherical CEM,simultaneously considering both compressibility and incompressibility during the plastic phase.By introducing initial cavity size and elastic pre-strain,we derived a general analytical solution enabling continuous elastic-plastic transition,supported by numerical validation.The results demonstrate that incorporating both elastic compressibility and initial cavity size under plastic incompressibility assumptions yields continuous analytical solutions.For cavity wall pressure evolution,the improved theory shows closer alignment with numerical solutions in pre-critical pressure regimes,accurately captures momentum conservation characteristics under highpressure conditions,and resolves longstanding ambiguities in volumetric compressibility concepts.
摘要To analyze the propagation of pressure waves generated during spherical projectile water entry within liquid-filled structures,this study establishes a computational model for the pressure wave considering reflection from a preset air layer.The model combines the virtual and real mirror methods with potential flow theory,and its accuracy is validated through numerical simulations.Using the established model,the propagation processes of the pressure wave during projectile water entry within liquid-filled structures configured with either a top air layer or a centrally located spherical air layer are examined.The effects of air layer height h,spherical air layer center location D and radius r on the strength and propagation of the pressure wave in water are analyzed.The results show that the rarefaction wave reflected from the air layer interface induces a truncation effect on the pressure wave propagation,significantly reducing the duration of positive pressure and the specific impulse.Moreover,the specific impulse decreases as h and r increase.A smaller D leads to more significant attenuation of the initial pressure wave specific impulse,while a larger D results in more noticeable attenuation of the secondary pressure wave peak and its specific impulse.

摘要Carbon superstructures with multiscale hierarchies and functional attributes represent an appealing cathode candidate for zinc hybrid capacitors,but their tailor-made design to optimize the capacitive activity remains a confusing topic.Here we develop a hydrogen-bond-oriented interfacial super-assembly strategy to custom-tailor nanosheet-intertwined spherical carbon superstructures(SCSs)for Zn-ion storage with double-high capacitive activity and durability.Tetrachlorobenzoquinone(H-bond acceptor)and dimethylbenzidine(H-bond donator)can interact to form organic nanosheet modules,which are sequentially assembled,orientally compacted and densified into well-orchestrated superstructures through multiple H-bonds(N-H···O).Featured with rich surface-active heterodiatomic motifs,more exposed nanoporous channels,and successive charge migration paths,SCSs cathode promises high accessibility of built-in zincophilic sites and rapid ion diffusion with low energy barriers(3.3Ωs-0.5).Consequently,the assembled Zn||SCSs capacitor harvests all-round improvement in Zn-ion storage metrics,including high energy density(166 Wh kg-1),high-rate performance(172 m Ah g-1at 20 A g-1),and long-lasting cycling lifespan(95.5%capacity retention after 500,000 cycles).An opposite chargecarrier storage mechanism is rationalized for SCSs cathode to maximize spatial capacitive charge storage,involving high-kinetics physical Zn2+/CF3SO3-adsorption and chemical Zn2+redox with carbonyl/pyridine groups.This work gives insights into H-bond-guided interfacial superassembly design of superstructural carbons toward advanced energy storage.

摘要In this article we consider a modification of the Stein’s spherical maximal operator of complex order a on Rn:■We show that when n≥,suppose||mα[1,2]f||Lq(Rn)≤C||f||Lp(Rn)holds for someα∈C,p,q≥,then we must have that q≥p and Reα≥σn(p,q):=max{1/p-n/q,n+1/2p-n-1/2(1/q+1),n/p-n+1}.Conversely,we show that Mα[1,2]is bounded from Lp(Rn)to Lq(Rn)provided that q≥p and Reα>σ2(p,q)for n=2;and Reα>max{σn(p,q),1/(2p)-(n-2)/(2q)-(n-1)/4}for n>2.The range ofα,p and q is almost optimal in the case when either n=2,or a=0,or(p,q)lies in certain regions for n>2.

摘要Glass materials play an increasingly important role in advanced technologies due to their superior physical properties.However,precise machining of glass remains a major challenge because of its brittleness and sensitivity to thermal and mechanical stresses.We present an approach that combines sphericalaberration–assisted filamentation with laser-induced deep etching to achieve ultra-high-precision micro-hole machining in fused silica substrates.By deliberately introducing spherical aberration into an intense femtosecond laser beam,thin,uniformly elongated,and stable filaments are generated,which effectively suppress unwanted plasma formation and thermal deformation typical of standard filamentation.Using this method,we fabricated micro-holes with diameters as small as 10μm across various sizes,maintaining an almost zero taper even in 1-mm-thick samples.The sidewalls exhibited nanoscale smoothness(Ra=38.1 nm,root mean square(RMS)=53.9 nm),and the hole area demonstrated excellent repeatability with only~1.0%variation across multiple trials.This simple optical configuration drastically reduces cost compared with existing approaches that rely on specialized components while moderately satisfying critical requirements for geometrical versatility,minimal damage,precision,and repeatability.We represent a significant step forward in precision glass machining and lay a foundation for future microstructured electronic,optical,and microfluidic devices.

摘要We investigate the ferromagnetic q-state Potts model on spherical Fibonacci graphs.These graphs are constructed by embedding quasi-uniform sites on a sphere and defining interactions via a chord-distance cutoff chosen so as to yield a network approximating four-neighbor connectivity.By combining Swendsen-Wang cluster Monte Carlo simulations with graph convolutional networks(GCNs),which operate directly on the adjacency structure and node spins,we develop a unified phase-classification framework applicable to both regular planar lattices and curved,irregular spherical graphs.Benchmarks on planar lattices demonstrate an efficient transfer strategy:after a fixed binarization of Potts spins into an effective Ising variable,a single GCN pre-trained on the Ising model can localize the transition region for different q values without retraining.Applying this strategy to spherical graphs,we find that curvature-and defect-induced connectivity irregularities induce only modest shifts in the inferred transition temperatures relative to their planar counterparts.Further analysis shows that the curvature-induced shift of the critical temperature is most pronounced at small q and diminishes rapidly as q increases.This trend is consistent with the physical picture that,in two dimensions,the Potts model undergoes a transition from a continuous phase transition to a weakly first-order one for q>4,accompanied by a pronounced reduction in the correlation length.

摘要Diabetes remains a major global health challenge and requires diagnostic systems capable of handling uncertainty and sometimes conflicting clinical evidence.In this study,a Disc T-Spherical Fuzzy(DT-SF)TOPSIS framework is proposed for diabetes risk assessment,where the radius parameter is used to encode the confidence associated with each diagnostic attribute.The methodology also integrates the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)to determine the relative importance of several key risk factors,including blood glucose,body mass index,family history,lifestyle factors,and clinical symptoms.One important feature of the proposed approach is the ternary classification scheme,which categorizes patients as Non-diabetic(N),Prediabetic(P),or Diabetic(D).In particular,this scheme allows the explicit identification of patients located in a grey zone(Class P),where early monitoring and preventive intervention may be beneficial.The proposed framework is evaluated using the Pima Indians Diabetes Dataset(PIDD).The obtained results show that the ternary DT-SF TOPSIS model achieves 89.14%accuracy,while the conventional binary thresholding method reaches 75.9i%.Further analysis of the Closeness Coefficient(CC)distributions,together with threshold sensitivity examination,supports the robustness and interpretability of the proposed framework.Overall,the findings indicate that the DT-SF TOPSIS model provides a practical,confidenceweighted,and uncertainty-aware tool for multi-criteria diabetes risk assessment,with possible applications to other chronic diseases.

摘要For mission-oriented unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarms,mission capability assessment provides an important reference in the design and development process,and is a precondition for mission success.For this multi-criteria decisionmaking(MCDM)problem,the current literature lacks a way to unambiguously present criteria and the popular fuzzy analytic network process(ANP)approaches neglect the hesitancy of subjective judgments.To fill these research gaps,an MCDM method based on unified architecture framework(UAF)and interval-valued spherical fuzzy ANP(IVSF-ANP)is proposed in this paper.Firstly,selected viewpoints in UAF are extended to construct criteria models with standardized representation.Secondly,interval-valued spherical fuzzy sets are introduced to ANP to weight interdependent criteria,handling fuzziness and hesitancy in pairwise comparisons.A method of adjusting weights of experts based on their decision similarities is also included in this process to reduce ambiguity brought by multiple experts.Next,performance characteristics are non-linearly transformed regarding to expectations to get final results.This proposition is applied to assess the mission capability of UAV swarms to search and strike surface vessels.Comparative analysis shows that the proposed method is valid and reasonable.

摘要Rare earth carbonates are essential precursors for the synthesis of oxide materials.In this study,we utilized in situ monitoring equipment to explore the alterations in the crystallization during the coprecipitation synthesis of cerium carbonate.By controlling the crystallization pathway and in the absence of any te mplating agents,we successfully synthesized a unique sphe rical self-assembled cerium oxide particle(Ceria-S).The Ceria-S exhibits excellent polishing performance.The crystallization process of cerium carbonate at 50℃persists for roughly 50 min.During the initial stages of crystallization from 0 to t3,the precipitated particles are amorphous.This is followed by a plateau phase of crystal growth from t3to t5.Subsequently,during the burst crystallization phase from t5to t6,Ce2(CO3)3·6H2O and Ce2O(CO3)2·nH2O are formed,exhibiting a rod-like crystal morphology.By rapidly drying the precipitated particles at 60℃for 10 min and calcining,Ceria-S is obtained.The Ceria-S,with an average diameter of 180 nm,is assembled from primary cerium oxide nanoparticles of approximately 15 nm.Owing to the self-assembly structure of cerium oxide spherical nanoparticles,they exhibit a significantly larger specific surface area,resulting in an elevated concentration of Ce3+as high as 35.5%.The Ceria-S exhibits a polishing removal rate of 420 nm/min,effectively decreasing the surface roughness(Sa)of K9 glass from 1.605 to 0.404 nm.

摘要The EXL-50U is China’s first large spherical torus device with a toroidal field reaching 1 T.The major radius of the EXL-50U ranges from 0.6 m to 0.8 m,with an aspect ratio of 1.4−1.8.The goal of plasma current in the first experimental phase is 500 kA,and in the future second phase,the goal of plasma current is 1 MA.On the EXL-50U project,the ENN fusion team expeditiously accomplished a series of comprehensive tasks including physical and engineering design,main component construction installation,and system commissioning,all within a mere eighteen-month timeframe.In the experiments of 2024,the EXL-50U achieved a 500 kA limiter configuration discharge using ECRH(Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating)for non-inductive current start-up and a current ramp-up with the synergetic effect of ECRH and central solenoid(CS).Preliminary divertor configuration plasmas were also obtained under 200 kA plasma current.The core ion temperature of 1 keV was achieved with low-power NBI heating,and the energy confinement time of 30 ms was reached with Ohmic heating in the flat-top phase.The current and future experiments of EXL-50U will strongly support the physical design and operational scenarios of EHL-2 in the areas of current drive,high ion temperature exploration,energy transport and confinement,and hydrogen-boron physical characteristics.At the same time,the experience in the design,construction,and commissioning of the engineering,heating,and diagnostics systems on EXL-50U is also very beneficial for enhancing the feasibility of the engineering design for EHL-2.
摘要ENN is planning the next generation experimental device EHL-2 with the goal to verify the thermal reaction rates of p-11B fusion,establish spherical torusokamak experimental scaling laws at 10’s keV ion temperature,and provide a design basis for subsequent experiments to test and realize the p-11B fusion burning plasma.Based on 0-dimensional(0-D)system design and 1.5-dimensional transport modelling analyses,the main target parameters of EHL-2 have been basically determined,including the plasma major radius,R0,of 1.05 m,the aspect ratio,A,of 1.85,the maximum central toroidal magnetic field strength,B0,of 3 T,and the plasma toroidal current,Ip,of 3 MA.The main heating system will be the neutral beam injection at a total power of 17 MW.In addition,6 MW of electron cyclotron resonance heating will serve as the main means of local current drive and MHD instabilities control.The physics design of EHL-2 is focused on addressing three main operating scenarios,i.e.,(1)high ion temperature scenario,(2)high-performance steady-state scenario and(3)high triple product scenario.Each scenario will integrate solutions to different important issues,including equilibrium configuration,heating and current drive,confinement and transport,MHD instability,p-11B fusion reaction,plasma-wall interactions,etc.Beyond that,there are several unique and significant challenges to address,including●establish a plasma with extremely high core ion temperature(Ti,0>30 keV),and ensure a large ion-to-electron tempera-ture ratio(Ti,0/Te,0>2),and a boron concentration of 10%‒15%at the plasma core;●realize the start-up by non-inductive current drive and the rise of MA-level plasma toroidal current.This is because the volt-seconds that the central solenoid of the ST can provide are very limited;●achieve divertor heat and particle fluxes control including complete detachment under high P/R(>20 MW/m)at rela-tively low electron densities.This overview will introduce the advanced progress in the physics design of EHL-2.

摘要To analyze the differences in the transport and distribution of different types of proppants and to address issues such as the short effective support of proppant and poor placement in hydraulically intersecting fractures,this study considered the combined impact of geological-engineering factors on conductivity.Using reservoir production parameters and the discrete elementmethod,multispherical proppants were constructed.Additionally,a 3D fracture model,based on the specified conditions of the L block,employed coupled(Computational Fluid Dynamics)CFD-DEM(Discrete ElementMethod)for joint simulations to quantitatively analyze the transport and placement patterns of multispherical proppants in intersecting fractures.Results indicate that turbulent kinetic energy is an intrinsic factor affecting proppant transport.Moreover,the efficiency of placement and migration distance of low-sphericity quartz sand constructed by the DEM in the main fracture are significantly reduced compared to spherical ceramic proppants,with a 27.7%decrease in the volume fraction of the fracture surface,subsequently affecting the placement concentration and damaging fracture conductivity.Compared to small-angle fractures,controlling artificial and natural fractures to expand at angles of 45°to 60°increases the effective support length by approximately 20.6%.During hydraulic fracturing of gas wells,ensuring the fracture support area and post-closure conductivity can be achieved by controlling the sphericity of proppants and adjusting the perforation direction to control the direction of artificial fractures.

摘要EHL-2 is an ENN second-generation device aimed at studying proton-boron(p-11B)fusion reactions in a spherical torus.The design parameters are Ti0~30 keV,Ti/Te>2,ne0~1×1020m-3,Ip~3 MA,Bt~3 T,andτE~0.5 s.High ion temperature is one of the standard operation scenarios of EHL-2,aiming to reduce bremsstrahlung radiation while enhancing plasma parameters by elevating the ion to electron temperature ratio.In order to achieve high ion temperature,neutral beam injection is considered the primary heating method during the flat-top phase.The neutral beam system for EHL-2 comprises 3-5 beams with energy/power ranging from 60 keV/4 MW,80-100 keV/10 MW,to 200 keV/3 MW.This work conducts predictive analysis on core transport during the flat-top phase of EHL-2’s high-ion-temperature scenario utilizing ASTRA.The study delineates the potential operating range of core temperature and other parameters given the designed heating capacity.Specifically,the study presents predictive simulations based on CDBM,GLF23,Bohm-gyro-Bohm,and IFSPPPL transport models,evaluating the steady-state power balance,energy confinement time,and impact of various parameters such as plasma density and NBI power on core ion temperature.The simulations demonstrate that the design parameters of the EHL-2 high-Ti scenario,although sensitive to varying transport models,are hopefully attainable as long as adequate ion heating and controlled ion transport levels are ensured.
摘要Activated carbon(AC)is considered to be an excellent adsorbent due to its high specific surface area and various functional groups.AC powders are available in sizes ranging from 44 to 150 μm.Its particle size prevent its separation from the soil.Therefore,when AC powder is applied to Cd-contaminated soil,it only reduces the bioavailability of Cd and Cd is not necessarily removed but semi-immobilized.Recovery of adsorbent materials from the soil is therefore a preferred soil remediation method.In order to achieve the separation of Cd from soil and the recovery and reuse of AC,a batch of phenolic resin(PR)-carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)-activated carbon(AC)composite(PCC-800)with uniform particle diameter(diameter 0.8 mm)and high compressive strength was prepared.PCC-800 composites were made of PR/CMC/AC calcined at 800℃ in a certain ratio.The Barrett-Joyner-Halender results showed that the PCC-800 spheres own a mesoporous structure.The compressive strength of PCC-800 pellets was 20.6 N.After first adsorption cycle,total Cd in the soil decreased by 52.18%while bioavailable Cd decreased to 25.68%of the original soil.After three cycles,the recovery rates of PCC-800 were 90.37%and the adsorption regeneration was 72.73%.The PCC-800 immobilized Cd by adsorption,precipitation and complexation reaction.This study demonstrates the potential for developing adsorbents that are both easily separable from soil and highly effective in adsorption.
