The electromagnetic environment around neurons is very complex, and it is important to study the effect of electromagnetic radiation on neuronal behavior. Electromagnetic radiation is simulated by the induced current of a magnetically controlled memristor to study the behavior of tangent-type memristor-coupled Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neural network dynamics in a small world of NW under the effect of electromagnetic radiation. Numerical simulations have found that increasing the coupling strength promotes synchronization between neurons and alters their firing pattern; the neural network is sensitive to the initial value when the electromagnetic radiation effect is in effect, and it is also found that electromagnetic radiation enhances the energy required for neuronal firing by Hamiltonian energy. When amnesic coupling and electromagnetic radiation effect act together, the smaller the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, the more effective amnesic coupling can promote network synchronization. The experimental results show that the tangent-type amnesia-coupled neural network under the effect of electromagnetic radiation is sensitive to the state of the initial value, and the synchronization behavior and discharge activity of the neural network are related to the coupling strength and electromagnetic radiation.
Memristor coupled neurons have complex nonlinear dynamic behavior and have been widely used in neural computing and chaotic systems. In this paper, a new magnetic controlled memristor model is proposed, and the Hindmarsh-Rose(HR) neuron model is established. The neural model is analyzed by bifurcating diagram, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, phase diagram and time series diagram. Then the chaotic sequence generated by the model is applied to the DNA chaotic image encryption algorithm. The experimental results show that this HR neuron model can generate multiple discharge modes and complex chaotic behavior under the influence of magnetic induction intensity, and the generated chaotic sequences based on the model have the characteristics of randomness, initial value sensitivity, ergodic, etc., which has strong security when applied to chaotic image encryption algorithms. These results will provide strong support for understanding the dynamics of neuron hiding and constructing memristor neural network, and have great application value for the treatment of neuron-related lesions.
Highly enriched uranium subcritical assemblies with and without low atomic number (low-Z) reflectors are modeled. The neutron and photon transport process in the assemblies initiated by a pulsed neutron source is simulated using the Monte Carlo code. When the size or mass density of the fissile region and the reflector changes, the effective multiplication factor keff of the fissile region or the whole system changes accordingly (for assemblies without reflectors, the fissile region refers to the whole system). For each case, the time dependence of leakage γ count rate, neutron population in the fissile region and their ratio is obtained and analyzed to investigate the applicability and limitation of the pulsed neutron source (PNS) method for subcritical systems with and without reflectors. It is indicated that the PNS method is suitable for systems of which the fissile region is near-critical, i.e., the keff value of the fissile region is close to 1. The closer the fissile region is to the critical state, the more accurately the leakage γ count rate can reflect the fissile region's fission decay properties during the specific time window. For the highly enriched uranium assemblies described in this paper, the keff threshold of the fissile region ensuring the applicability of the PNS method is given. In addition, the possibility of applying the PNS method under dynamic conditions are also discussed according to the calculation results.
In the fields of ocean engineering and aerospace, the motion state of fluids has a significant impact on the performance and stability of systems. Stokes equations with damping terms are commonly used to describe the flow behavior of fluids under damping, such as the fluids in porous media. Two numerical iterative algorithms based on finite element discretization are proposed for the steady incompressible Stokes questions with the nonlinear damping term. The basic idea is to first use the finite element method to solve the Stokes problem and obtain the initial iterative solution. Secondly, it uses the Stokes iterative algorithm or Oseen iterative algorithm to solve the steady incompressible Stokes problem with nonlinear damping term and obtain approximate finite element solutions. Convergence and stability of the proposed algorithms are analyzed. Error estimates of the obtained approximate solutions are derived. Some numerical results are also given to show correctness of theoretical analysis and effectiveness of the algorithms. The results show that when the equation satisfies the stability condition, both numerical iterative algorithms are feasible.
Based on second-order time discretization of BDF2, this paper presents a simpler approach for designing algorithms for coupling radiation, ion and electron energies via operator splitting method. Numerical results show the error and computational cost of iterative operator splitting method is less than that of operator splitting method with the same time discretization order, and while compared with first-order backward Euler method, time steps of second-order BDF2 can be ten times lager for obtaining the same computational accuracy. This new proposed second-order time discretization iterative operator splitting method can be used for simulating ICF physical models, and promoting the computational efficiency.
In order to quantitatively evaluate water blocking damage of tight reservoirs in flowback period, based on the relationship between capillary pressure and relative permeability with water saturation, Darcy's formula was used to characterize gas-water two-phase flow equations in invaded areas, and a quantitative evaluation model of water blocking damage of fracturing fluid in tight reservoir was established. The water saturation, relative permeability and permeability damage degree of invaded areas in flowback period were solved by the Taylor's nonlinear solution method, and the effect of fracturing fluid invasion depth, fracturing fluid viscosity, flowback and production differential pressure and pressure sensitivity were analyzed. The results show that, water blocking damage starts to gradually be relieved once the pressure differential of flowback and production exceeds the capillary force. The higher the differential pressure between flowback and production, the more effectively water blockage can be relieved and the less damage water blockage can cause. It is challenging to release the water blockage at the flowback period when the invasion depth, viscosity, and stress sensitivity coefficient of the fracturing fluid are high. The higher the damage degree of the water blockage, the lower the recovery of gas will finally be.
Based on the lubrication theory and the coupling between gas phase diffusion and droplet evaporation, a mathematical model of droplet evaporation on a solid substrate with uniform wall temperature is established, and the evolution equation of droplet thickness based on the gas phase diffusion model is derived. The quasi-static gas phase field is solved with the droplet contact line dynamics, and the influence of Ma and Pek on the droplet evaporation under the effect of gas phase is discussed through numerical simulation. The results show that under the same parameters, the droplet evaporation process of the gas phase diffusion model is slower than that of the one-sided model, and the contact radius and the evaporating rate is decreased, and the results are more consistent with the experimental results. Under the gas phase diffusion model, the droplet evaporating rate is increased and the droplet evaporation process is shortened by reducing Ma, thereby promoting droplet evaporation. By increasing Pek, the gas density near the droplet is densified, and the droplet evaporation is enhanced.
The gas kinetic scheme based on Cahn-Hilliard phase field equation with interfacial fluxes determined by the Chapman-Enskog first-order approximation is constructed in the framework of finite volume. It is further demonstrated that the proposed model can be accurately recovered to Cahn-Hilliard equation. The method is tested through several cases and compared with the corresponding lattice Boltzmann method. The results show that the method in this paper has excellent accuracy and numerical stability for interface trapping. The study extends application of the gas-kinetic scheme to phase-field theory and provides a new solution for the simulation of two-phase fluid systems.
The residual neural network is used to carry out machine learning on the steady-state flow field of the hemisphere-on-cylinder laser turret model in the range of Ma=0.3~0.8, and the subsonic/transonic flow field under any incoming flow conditions in this range is established. The prediction accuracy of this model is evaluated for beam wavefront distortion under different view-of-field angles. The learning model reproduces flow characteristics such as boundary layers, flow separation, and separated shear layers in turret flows, including in particular unanchored shock discontinuities in transonic flow. The wavefront distribution based on the predicted flow field under different viewing angles is basically consistent with that calculated based on the flow field of CFD. This machine learning method provides a strategy for adaptive correction of laser turret aero-optical effects in the engineering field.
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) have provided a new way of numerically solving forward and inverse problems of partial differential equations with promising applications.

A systematic study is carried out for the problems of fixed coefficients, anisotropic coefficients, spatial dependence coefficients, spatio-temporal dependence coefficients, and nonlinear diffusion coefficients, and the neural network structure and solution method required for solving each type of problem are proposed. Numerical experiments show that the PINN method can reconstruct the unknown coefficients accurately with less data and is robust under a certain noise level.

The fuzzy mathematics method is applied to the process of resistance identification, a set of optimal solution is generated by identifying each pipe segment, and the optimal solution is selected from the optimal solution set according to the fuzzy membership degree. The results show that compared with the single objective algorithm, the optimal solution set generated by the high-dimensional multi-objective differential evolution algorithm based on global ranking is uniformly distributed and concentrated, and the optimal solution obtained is more accurate.
A phototube is connected to a simple neural circuit for developing a light-sensitive neural circuit, which can be regulated to trigger suitable firing modes by taming the frequency or amplitude of external stimulus. Furthermore, the photoelectric neuron and its Hamilton energy are obtained through scale transformation. It is discerned that the firing modes of neuron is dependent on the energy level of the neuron. Chaotic signals are filtered and encoded to excite the neuron, then chaotic firing modes are obtained and the modes transition and energy value are changed significantly by increasing the intensity of the filtered signals from chaotic system. Considering the complexity and plasticity of the synapse, a nonlinear resistor is used to couple two photosensitive neural circuits. The synchronization stability and energy exchange between two coupled neurons presenting with different initial firing modes are investigated by applying periodic and filtered signals on the neurons. Furthermore, additive noise is applied to investigate the synchronization stability and energy propagation between the two neurons. When photocurrent is selected in periodic type, two coupled neurons are blocked to reach complete synchronization, the coupling intensity is fluctuated with time and energy balance is broken between two neurons. By taming the noise intensity, two bursting neurons can reach complete synchronization while two chaotic neurons seldom reach synchronization when the neurons are driven by peridic currents. When filtered signals are used to excite the two coupled neurons, intermittent phase lock and phase synchronization can be realized between two neurons.
Based on the improved electromagnetic induction neuron model, the coherent resonance (CR) phenomenon of the Memristor Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) network is studied. In addition to electrical coupling connecting gaps between adjacent neurons, magnetic coupling is used to describe the effect of field coupling between neurons. The dynamic analysis of the stable point is performed using the bifurcation diagram and phase diagram, and the potential dynamic mechanism of the emergence of CR and the change of discharge mode are explained. It is found that white Gaussian noise can induce CR in the resting state near the subcritical Hopf bifurcation of memristor neurons, and the occurrence of CR is related to the change of firing mode caused by the increase of noise amplitude.
The rapid solidification process of liquid Ag-Cu alloy at different solute concentrations are simulated by molecular dynamics method. The microstructure evolution characteristic of Ag-Cu alloy is analyzed by two-body distribution function, Honeycutt-Andersen bond type index and extended cluster type index method (CTIM). The results show that the main bond type of Ag-Cu quick setting glass alloy is 1551, and the local quintic symmetry are obvious. The main atomic configuration is icosahedral clusters, in which the regular icosahedral cluster (12 12/1551) is dominant. The highest heritable fraction f of Ag-Cu corresponds to the transition temperature of reduced glass, which proves that Ag60Cu40 has the best amorphous forming ability.
The relationship between different magnetic structures and energies of NpO2 with a series of U values (3~7 eV) is first calculated by DFT+U method, and then the influence of different point defects in NpO2 on its architecture and energy properties is studied according to reliable U (4.0 eV). In the calculated results of three different magnetic orders of NpO2, the structural results of 3 k AFM are in good agreement with the experimental values and obtained a lower energy of formation. Compared with the perfect structure of NpO2, the energy of formation of single O vacancy system increase by about 0.06 eV, while the energy of formation of the single Np vacancy system increase by 1.4 eV. In addition, we also study the changes in the volume and energy of the system as O and Np vacancies increase.
Utilizing density function theory (DFT), the structure, spectrum and dissociation properties of CH2BrCl molecules are studied in the external electric field at MP2-(FC)/6-311+G(d, p)level, including the equilibrium structure, electric dipole moment, total energy, the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO), energy gap, infrared spectrum. The results show that the C-Br bond length extends and the electric dipole moment increases with the increase of electric field intensity, while the total energy and energy gap EG decreases with increasing the electric field intensity. The external electric field influences the vibration frequency and absorption intensity of infrared spectrum of CH2BrCl molecule to varying degree. Discussing the molecule dissociation in the external electric field, the potential well decreases and gradually vanishes with the increase of the external electric field, which implies the bound ability of C-Br bond of CH2BrCl molecule gradually degrade and the dissociation occurs.
Based on the lattice Boltzmann method, the chemical reaction process of CO2 absorption by tandem porous CaO particles is simulated at the scale of Representative Elementary Volume (REV) scale, and the influences of CaO porosity, particle diameter, and inter-particle arrangement of CaO particles on the conversion efficiency and the average conversion rate of particles are mainly investigated. The results show that the conversion efficiency of CaO particles first decreases and then increases with the increase of the porosity, which is attributed to differences in the initial amount of material and the internal gas-solid reaction rate of the particles due to the different porosities, and the competition between them affected the conversion efficiency. On the other hand, the larger the particle diameter, the lower the conversion efficiency. Specifically, the average conversion efficiency of the particles with 50 μm diameter is 8.4% higher than that of particles with 150 μm diameter, and the average conversion efficiency of particles with 150 μm diameter is 7.2% higher than that of the particles with 250 μm diameter. In addition, this work also investigates effect of the arrangement of particles on the average conversion rate. It is found that when the horizontal angle between particles changed from θ=0° to θ=10°, the average conversion rate can not be improved effectively with the increase of the angle due to the effect of the reflux vortex, and the average conversion rate is not improved with the increase of the angle between θ=10° and θ=40°. The average conversion between θ=0° and θ=10° is found not to be effectively improved due to the influence of the reflux vortex. And the average conversion between θ=10° and θ=40° is found to be significantly improved due to the fact that CaO particles at the rear are gradually moving away from the reflux zone, while the average conversion in the interval where the horizontal angle is larger than 40° is found to be maximized due to the fact that the average conversion is not changed with the angle. The simulation results can provide some theoretical guidance for CO2 capture.
A high sensitivity refractive index sensor have been proposed in this paper, which is composed by an M-shaped resonant cavity coupled with a baffle contained Metal-Dielectric-Metal (MDM) waveguide. The influence of structural parameter of M-shaped cavity and filled medium characteristics inside it on the transmission spectrum of MDM waveguide have been analyzed numerically through the finite element method. Simulation results show that four asymmetric transmission peaks with Fano line-shape are generated by the coupling interference between the four quasi Fabry-Perot (FP) resonant modes of the first to fourth orders inside M-shaped cavity and the reflected wave in MDM waveguide, moreover the four peak wavelengths redshift almost linearly with increasing cavity length or the refractive index of the filled medium, which can be used to design the refractive index sensor. The calculated sensitivities associated with the quadruple Fano transmission peaks are found to be proportional to the cavity length and the reciprocal of resonant order. As a consequence, a sensitive up to 4 900 nm/RIU has been realized by an M-shaped resonator in dimensions of 400 nm×400 nm. The results in the article provide an effective guidance for the design of high sensitivity sensors.
In order to explore key technologies to improve the combustion of agricultural internal combustion engine, characteristics and influencing factors of methane plasma in the coaxial dielectric barrier discharge process are analyzed. A two-dimensional axisymmetric actuator model is established, and the discharge process is numerically simulated by finite element method. The changes of electron density, electron temperature, CH3 and H number density under different voltage amplitudes and different dielectric materials are analyzed. The simulation results show that voltage amplitude affects the change of current, and the change of electron density and electron temperature are affected by the current. When the input voltage changes, the energy of ionized methane changes with the voltage, and when the voltage amplitude increases, the electron density and electron temperature increase. When the energy consumed by the collision between particles is greater than the energy released by ionization, Electron density and temperature decreased; The number density of CH3 and H increases with time, and the higher the voltage amplitude, the faster the growth rate. The electron density and the electron temperature increase with the increase of the relative dielectric constant, and the number density of CH3 and H increases with the increase of the relative dielectric constant. Increasing voltage amplitude and relative dielectric constant will further intensify the ionization of methane.
The propagation characteristics of intense femtosecond laser pulses underwater are numerically investigated and modulated by the input energy, lens focal length and beam waist width.The results indicate that, when the system parameters are appropriately selected, the generation of filament can be effectively controlled by the focal length of lens in range of 1 meter to 10 meters underwater, and the filament length reaches the meter scale. With increase of the focal distance (such as f=10 m), the generated plasma filament will oscillate strongly, which is disadvantage to the underwater detection of spectrum. At this time, by increasing the waist width of the beam, the filament can be transmitted more stably at a distant target position underwater. The attenuation effect of the impurities in seawater on pulse energy can be balanced by increasing input power, so as to realize the long-distance transmission of filaments.
The nonlinear properties of natural convection in the space of an eccentric annulus are investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Firstly, the system is mathematically determined to develop into a chaotic state at high Rayleigh numbers through the maximum Lyapunov exponent spectrum and run test. Then, the process of the system transitioning to chaos is characterized based on the characteristics of numerical solution phase diagram and power spectral density (PSD). The results show that with the increase of Rayleigh number Ra, the solution of the eccentric annular system changes from deterministic steady-state solution to periodic oscillation solution through Hopf bifurcation, and the phase diagram trajectory changes from fixed point to limit cycle. With further increase of Rayleigh number, the stable limit cycle bifurcates into a two-dimensional torus, and the system enters a quasi-periodic state. When Rayleigh number Ra reaches a critical value, the phase diagram trajectory of the system exhibits rapid exponential separation, becomes extremely complex, and many incommensurable fundamental frequencies appear in its power spectral density. Chaotic attractors emerge, Hopf bifurcation occurs again, and eventually chaos is reached.
Based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, the SPH method without kernel function derivative (KDF-SPH) is applied to the numerical solution of the time fractional convection-diffusion equation. In the simulation process of the time fractional convection-diffusion equation, the finite difference method (FDM) is used for the Caputo time fractional derivative, and the KDF-SPH method and SPH method are used for the spatial derivative respectively. The results show that the error of KDF-SPH method is much smaller than that of SPH method. Compared with the SPH method, KDF-SPH retains all the advantages of SPH (meshless, Lagrangian and particle properties). This method plays a great role in reducing errors and maintaining stability, and numerical approximation can be carried out regardless of whether the kernel gradient exists or not. It avoids the calculation of the derivative of the kernel function, reduces the requirement for the derivability of the kernel function, improves the calculation efficiency and is easy to be programmed. It is easy to expand the calculation of high-dimensional problems and has good practical application value.
The implementation flow of processing incompressible Navier-Stokes equations based on velocity-correction schemes is introduced, and velocity-correction schemes based on Picard iteration is developed by introducing Picard linearization to process the convection term in the velocity governing equation. Compared with the traditional method, the projection method after Picard linearization can be solved with a larger time step, which improves the stability of the solution method, and the convergence accuracy meets the requirements, which confirms the reliability of the solution method.
The present study aims to establish a mathematical model for the stability analysis of a viscous compressible liquid jet in a homogeneous wind field, utilizing linear stability theory. Furthermore, the validity of the proposed mathematical model and its solution method are subsequently verified. The findings indicate that the homogeneous wind field exerts an equal influence on both the axisymmetric disturbance and the non-axisymmetric disturbance, with the latter being the predominant form of disturbance. The compressibility of the gas phase has a detrimental effect on the stability of jet flow, while the compressibility of the liquid phase has negligible impact on the stability of jet flow. The impact of a homogeneous wind field on jet stability is primarily manifested in two key dimensions. The presence of a tailwind field has the potential to enhance the stability of jets and impede the likelihood of splitting and atomization. The presence of the deadwind field has the potential to diminish the stability of the jet flow and facilitate the occurrence of splitting and atomization.
