    Description: Using the “interior + surface quasigeostrophic” (isQG) method, the density and horizontal velocity fields of the ocean's interior can be retrieved from surface data. This method was applied to the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) and the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM)/Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (NCODA) reanalysis data sets. The input surface data include sea surface height (SSH), sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), and a region-averaged stratification. The retrieved subsurface fields are compared with reanalysis data for three tested regions, and the results indicate that the isQG method is robust. The isQG method is particularly successful in the energetic regions like the Gulf Stream region with weak stratification, and the Kuroshio region with strong correlation between sea surface density (SSD) and SSH. It also works, though less satisfactorily, in the Agulhas leakage region. The performance of the isQG method in retrieving subsurface fields varies with season, and peaks in winter when the mixed layer is deeper and stratification is weaker. In addition, higher-resolution data may facilitate the isQG method to achieve a more successful reconstruction for the velocity retrieval. Our results suggested that the isQG method can be used to reconstruct the ocean interior from the satellite-derived SSH, SST, and SSS data in the near future.

    A Novel Left-Turn Signal Control Method for Improving Intersection Capacity in a Connected Vehicle Environment (2019)
    Molecular Diversity Preservation International
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-19
    Description: Setting up an exclusive left-turn lane and corresponding signal phase for intersection traffic safety and efficiency will decrease the capacity of the intersection when there are less or no left-turn movements. This is especially true during rush hours because of the ineffective use of left-turn lane space and signal phase duration. With the advantages of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, a novel intersection signal control model is proposed which sets up variable lane direction arrow marking and turns the left-turn lane into a controllable shared lane for left-turn and through movements. The new intersection signal control model and its control strategy are presented and simulated using field data. After comparison with two other intersection control models and control strategies, the new model is validated to improve the intersection capacity in rush hours. Besides, variable lane lines and the corresponding control method are designed and combined with the left-turn waiting area to overcome the shortcomings of the proposed intersection signal control model and control strategy.

    Research on the Influence of Euro VI Diesel Engine Assembly Consistency on NOx Emissions (2020)
    Molecular Diversity Preservation International
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-10-13
    Description: The assembly consistency of a diesel engine will affect its nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission variation. In order to improve the NOx emissions of diesel engines, a study was carried out based on the assembly tolerance variation of the diesel engine’s combustion system. Firstly, a diesel engine which meets the Euro VI standards together with the experimental data is obtained. The mesh model and combustion model of the engine combustion system are built in the Converge software (version 2.4, Tecplot, Bellevue, DC, USA), and the experimental data is used to calibrate the combustion model obtained in the Converge software. Then, the four-factor and three-level orthogonal simulation experiments are carried out on the dimension parameters that include nozzle extension height, throat diameter, shrinkage diameter and combustion chamber depth. Through mathematical analysis on the experimental data, the results show that the variation of nozzle extension height and combustion chamber depth have a strong influence on NOx emission results, and the variation of combustion chamber diameter also has a weak influence on NOx production. According to the regression model obtained from the analysis, there is a quadratic function relating the nozzle extension height and NOx emissions and the amount of NOx increases with increasing nozzle extension height. The relationship between emission performance and size parameters is complex. In the selected size range, the influence of the variation of the chamber diameter on NOx is linear. The variation of the chamber depth also has an effect on NOx production, and the simulation results vary with the change of assembly tolerance variation. Thus, in the engine assembly process, it is necessary to strictly control the nozzle extension height and combustion chamber depth. The research results are useful to improve the NOx emission of diesel engine and provide a basis for the control strategy of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) devices.

    Utilization of Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger to Pre-Cool/Heat Ventilation Air and Its Annual Energy Performance Evaluation: A Case Study (2020)
    Molecular Diversity Preservation International
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-10-10
    Description: An earth-to-air heat exchanger (EAHE) system utilizes the low-grade thermal energy of underground soil to warm up and cool down the flowing air within an underground buried pipe. Integrating the EAHE system with building ventilation can reduce the energy demand for conditioning ventilation air. The main purposes of this paper are to estimate the year-round energy-saving potential of the EAHE-assisted building ventilation system and provide its design guidelines in a hot-summer and cold-winter climate. A steady-state heat transfer model was proposed to calculate the outlet air temperature of an EAHE and further identify its ability to preheat and precool ventilation air. Influences of depth, length, and diameter of a buried pipe on the year-round thermal performance of the EAHE system were evaluated. The results show that considering the compromise between thermal performance and construction costs of the EAHE system, a depth of 5 m and a length of 80 m are recommended. The EAHE system can provide a mean daily cooling and heating capacity of 19.6 kWh and 19.3 kWh, respectively. Moreover, the utilization of the EAHE system can reduce by 16.0% and 50.1% the energy demand for cooling and heating ventilation air throughout the whole year.
