Hydrodynamic instabilities and transverse waves in propagation mechanism of gaseous detonations

The present study examines the role of transverse waves and hydrodynamic instabilities mainly, Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (RMI) and Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI) in detonation structure using two-dimensional high-resolution numerical simulations of Euler equations. To compare the numerical results with those of experiments, Navier–Stokes simulations are also performed by utilizing the effect of diffusion in highly irregular detonations. Results for both moderate and low activation energy mixtures reveal that upon collision of two triple points a pair of forward and backward facing jets is formed. As the jets spread, they undergo Richtmyer–Meshkov instability. The drastic growth of the forward jet found to have profound role in re-acceleration of the detonation wave at the end of a detonation cell cycle. For irregular detonations, the transverse waves found to have substantial role in propagation mechanism of such detonations. In regular detonations, the lead shock ignites all the gases passing through it, hence, the transverse waves and hydrodynamic instabilities do not play crucial role in propagation mechanism of such regular detonations. In comparison with previous numerical simulations present simulation using single-step kinetics shows a distinct keystone-shaped region at the end of the detonation cell.     

基于区域气球力Snake模型的运动目标快速跟踪方法

提出了一种包含区域信息的Snake模型用于运动目标检测与跟踪。在通常情况下,基于区域信息的跟踪方法对背景光线的微小变化、位置的微小移动较为敏感,而基于边缘信息的跟踪方法则难以对边缘模糊的图像取得满意的跟踪效果。在算法中同时引入这两种信息,边缘信息使得算法快速而鲁棒性好,区域信息可以对边缘模糊的图像取得正确的跟踪效果。使用双差分图像设计了自动初始化的方法来实现视频的自动跟踪。同时,对目标的下一步运动位置增加了一个预测环节来加快主动轮廓模型的收敛速度。该算法的每帧计算时间一般小于0.1S,能应用于实时系统。

The Solar Quiet Chromosphere—Corona Transition Region

The chromosphere-corona transition region of the Sun enjoys both simplicities of character and complexities of character which result from its very thin geometrical extent. The simplicities derive from the reasonably clear view of the energy balance (both observationally and theoretically), while the complexities derive from both the proximity of the not-so-clearly viewed regions below and above, and the almost certain convolutions and perhaps discontinuities in the three dimensional geometry of the transition sheet. While observational resolution and spectral information has improved greatly in recent years, the problems associated with a single vantage point, the Earth and its environs, have not gone away. To understand the transition region we must resolve structures radially and temporally as well as in the plane of the sky.

针对H.264的运动估计计算量太大的问题,通过研究并验证视频多帧参考时的运动连续性,提出了一种基于有效区域的快速运动估计算法(VRF,Valid-Region-based Fast Motion Estimation). 该算法在第一个参考帧中用三步搜索(3SS,3-Step Search)快速估计整像素精度运动矢量, 并以此定义一个有效区域, 参考其它帧时, 在该有效区域内作改进的3SS估计; 然后选择最佳参考帧; 最后在所选择的最佳参考帧的有效区域内作全搜索和相应的分数像素精度估计. 实验证明, 和H.264全搜索相比, 本算法的运动估计搜索点数降低了82%以上, 而恢复质量(用峰值信噪比(PSNR,Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)表征)平均只下降0.24 dB,且码速率只增加8.81%; 和另一个经典的帧选择快速算法相比, 本算法的搜索点数降低了39%,且码速率平均下降了5.17%, 而恢复质量只下降0.08 dB.      

Nighttime ionosphere–thermosphere coupling observed during an intense geomagnetic storm

The electrodynamics of the ionosphere in the tropical region presents various scientific aspects, which remain subject of intensive investigations and debates by the scientific community. During the year 2002, in a joint project between the Universidade do Vale do Paraíba (UNIVAP) and Universidade Luterana do Brasil (ULBRA), a chain of three Canadian Advanced Digital Ionosondes (CADIs) was established nearly along the geomagnetic meridian direction, for tropical ionospheric studies, such as, changes and response due to geomagnetic disturbances and thermosphere–ionosphere coupling and the generation and dynamics of ionospheric irregularities, in the Brazilian sector. The locations of the three ionosondes stations are São José dos Campos (23.2°S, 45.9°W, dip latitude 17.6°S – under the southern crest of equatorial ionospheric anomaly), Palmas (10.2°S, 48.2°W, dip latitude 5.5°S – near the magnetic equator) and Manaus (2.9°S, 60.0°W, dip latitude 6.4°N – between the geographic and geomagnetic dip equators). It should be pointed out that Palmas and Manaus are located on the opposite sides of the magnetic equator but both are south of the geographic equator. The three CADIs work in time-synchronized mode and obtain ionograms every 5 min. This configuration of the ionospheric sounding stations allowed us to study the F-region dynamics during geomagnetically disturbed period in the meridional direction. Just after the installation and testing of the three CADIs, on September 05, 2002 a coronal mass ejection (CME) left the Sun and about 2 days after the CME left the Sun, it reached the Earth’s magnetosphere and complex and multi step events took place during the period September 07–09. In the study we note that the equatorial stations located north (Manaus, dip latitude 6.4°N) and south (Palmas, dip latitude 5.5°S) of the dip equator presented significant F-layer height asymmetries during the storm main phase. In addition, the low-latitude station SJC (dip latitude 17.6°S) presented decrease in the F-layer densities (negative phase), whereas Palmas presented increase in the F-layer densities (positive phase) during the main phase. This was followed by positive phase at both the stations. During the first night of the recovery phase a strong formation and evolution of large-scale ionospheric irregularities (equatorial spread-F (ESF)) was observed, but on the second night of the recovery phase, there was strong and almost simultaneous sporadic E (Es) formation at all three stations. During the presence of Es, spread-F formation is not observed, indicating the suppression of spread-F, possibly by sporadic E.
