This paper presents an analytical model for the self-excited sloshing due to the fluid discharge over a flexible weir, as observed in the cooling circuit of the French fast breeder reactor, Super-Phenix-1. To clarify the instability mechanism, we analyzed the case in which an annular reservoir was divided into an upstream and a downstream plenum by a flexible cylindrical weir. The kinematic and dynamic effects of the discharged fluid on downstream plenum sloshing are discussed in details. Calculations are presented for the cylindrical fluid-structure model with successively increasing fluid level difference between the upstream and downstream plenums, and the instability mechanism is examined.

This paper presents an analytical model for the self-excited sloshing due to the fluid discharge over a flexible weir, as observed in the cooling circuit of the French fast breeder reactor, Super-Phenix-1. To clarify the instability mechanism, we analyzed the case in which a rectangular reservoir was divided into an upstream and a downstream plenum by a flexible plate weir. The kinematic and dynamic effects of the discharged fluid on downstream plenum sloshing are discussed in details. Calculations are presented for the rectangular fluid-structure model with successively increasing fluid level difference between the upstream and downstream plenums, and the instability mechanism is examined.

AbstractThe acceleration of ions by multiple laser pulses and their spontaneously generated electric and magnetic fields is investigated by using an analytical model for the latter. The relativistic equations of motion of test charged particles are solved numerically. It is found that the self-generated axial electric field plays an important role in the acceleration, and the energy of heavy test ions can reach several gigaelectronvolts.

In this article, magnetorheological colloid was adopted to coat a stainless steel substrate, which was cured under magnetic field to form magnetic roughness surface. Superhydrophobicity had been verified in the experiments, and the influential factors on the hydrophobic performance had been explored. A regular sawtooth structure model was proposed to relate the hydrophobicity with the formed surface microstructure. With the self-cleaning and bonding strength testing, the magnetic roughness surface is promising to keep sustainable superhydrophobicity in the self-cleaning or drag reduction applications.
