| 1 | Experimental Research on Sewage Outfall Diffusers显示文摘The influence of diffuser parameters, including the riser spacing, port number in a riser, injection angle, port arrangement, etc., on the surface initial dilution is experimentally investigated. The relative density difference between the effluent and the sea water in the model is the same as that in the prototype, and the effect of the cross current is simulated by an inverse model technique. Based on the result analysis, the arrangement with more ports in a riser and larger riser spacing is suggested to save construction cost. The relationship between the Reynolds number based on the port diameter and velocity, and the surface initial dilution is also explored, and the critical Reynolds number is proposed. | Jiang Chuanfeng , Yan Zhongmin , Zhou Chuntian and Liu Mingming Professor, Res.

| 2 | Transcriptional activation and phosphorylation of OsCNGC9 confer enhanced chilling tolerance in rice显示文摘Low temperature is a major environmental factor that limits plant growth and productivity.Although transient elevation of cytoplasmic calcium has long been recognized as a critical signal for plant cold tolerance,the calcium channels responsible for this process have remained largely elusive.Here we report that OsCNGC9,a cyclic nucleotide-gated channel,positively regulates chilling tolerance by mediating cytoplasmic calcium elevation in rice(Oryza sativa).We showed that the loss-of-function mutant of OsCNGC9 is defective in cold-induced calcium influx and more sensitive to prolonged cold treatment,whereas OsCNGC9 overexpression confers enhanced cold tolerance.Mechanistically,we demonstrated that in response to chilling stress,OsSAPK8,a homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana OST1,phosphorylates and activates OsCNGC9 to trigger Ca2+influx.Moreover,we found that the transcription of OsCNGC9 is activated by a rice dehydration-responsive element-binding transcription factor,OsDREB1A.Taken together,our results suggest that OsCNGC9 enhances chilling tolerance in rice through regulating cold-induced calcium influx and cytoplasmic calcium elevation. | Jiachang Wang Yulong Ren Xi Liu Sheng Luo Xiao Zhang Xin Liu Qibing Lin Shanshan Zhu Hua Wan Yang Yang Yu Zhang Bin Lei Chunlei Zhou Tian Pan Yongfei Wang Mingming Wu Ruonan jing Yang Xu Meng Han Fuqing Wu Cailin Lei Xiuping Guo Zhijun Cheng Xiaoming Zheng Yihua Wang Zhigang Zhao Ling Jiang Xin Zhang Yong-Fei Wang Haiyang Wang Jianmin Wan | 2021 | Molecular Plant2021,14,2: | 10 |
| 3 | Nerve regeneration factor promotes nerve regeneration in rat显示文摘Nerve regeneration factor (NRF) extracted from an oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine, as a nerve growth decoction has been reported by previous studies to exert effects of promoting nerve growth and preventing neuron apoptosis. For new insights into the function of NRF on primary cultured neurons, we investigated the neurite outgrowth in cultured rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explant treated with NRF by immunofluorescence and the gene and protein expressions of neurofilament-H(NF-H) and growth associated protein 43 (GAP43) in the cultured rat DRG neurons by real-time quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. In addition, we used a rat model of sciatic nerve crush to evaluate the effect of NRF on regeneration of injured sciatic nerve by a combination of walk track analysis, electrophysiological and histological assessments. The in vitro experiments indicated that NRF promoted the neurite growth of DRGs and the expression of NF-H and GAP43 at mRNA and protein levels in DRG neurons, and in vivo experiments showed that NRF improved peripheral nerve regeneration and functional recovery. | ZHANG Qi LIU Mei ZHOU Mingming DING Fei | 2006 | Progress in Natural Science:Materials International2006,16,12: | 8 |
| 4 | Sox9 augments BMP2-induced chondrogenic differentiation by downregulating Smad7 in mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)显示文摘Cartilage injuries caused by arthritis or trauma pose formidable challenges for effective clinical management due to the limited intrinsic proliferative capability of chondrocytes.Autologous stem cell-based therapies and transgene-enhanced cartilage tissue engineering may open new avenues for the treatment of cartilage injuries.Bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2)induces effective chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)and can thus be explored as a potential therapeutic agent for cartilage defect repair.However,BMP2 also induces robust endochondral ossification.Although the precise mechanisms through which BMP2 governs the divergence of chondrogenesis and osteogenesis remain to be fully understood,blocking endochondral ossification during BMP2-induced cartilage formation may have practical significance for cartilage tissue engineering.Here,we investigate the role of Sox9-donwregulated Smad7 in BMP2-induced chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs.We find that overexpression of Sox9 leads to a decrease in BMP2-induced Smad7 expression in MSCs.Sox9 inhibits BMP2-induced expression of osteopontin while enhancing the expression of chondrogenic marker Col2a1 in MSCs.Forced expression of Sox9 in MSCs promotes BMP2-induced chondrogenesis and suppresses BMP2-induced endochondral ossification.Constitutive Smad7 expression inhibits BMP2-induced chondrogenesis in stem cell implantation assay.Mouse limb explant assay reveals that Sox9 expands BMP2-stimulated chondrocyte proliferating zone while Smad7 promotes BMP2-intitated hypertrophic zone of the growth plate.Cell cycle analysis indicates that Smad7 induces significant early apoptosis in BMP2-stimulated MSCs.Taken together,our results strongly suggest that Sox9 may facilitate BMP2-induced chondrogenesis by downregulating Smad7,which can be exploited for effective cartilage tissue engineering. | Chen Zhao Wei Jiang Nian Zhou Junyi Liao Mingming Yang Ning Hu Xi Liang Wei Xu Hong Chen Wei Liu Lewis L.Shi Leonardo Oliveira Jennifer Moriatis Wolf Sherwin Ho Aravind Athiviraham H.M.Tsai Tong-Chuan He Wei Huang | 2017 | Genes & Diseases2017,4,4: | 7 |

| 6 | Characteristics of Late-Quaternary Activity and Seismic Risk of the Northeastern Section of the Longmenshan Fault Zone显示文摘Following the 2008 Wenchuan M8 earthquake,the seismic risk of the northeastern section of the Longmenshan fault zone and the adjacent Hanzhong basin has become an issue that receives much concern.It is facing,however,the problem of a lack of sufficient data because of little previous work in these regions.The northeastern section of the Longmenshan fault zone includes three major faults:the Qingchuan fault,Chaba-Lin’ansi fault,and Liangshan south margin fault,with the Hanzhong basin at the northern end.This paper presents investigations of the geometry,motion nature,and activity ages of these three faults,and reveals that they are strike slip with normal faulting,with latest activity in the Late Pleistocene.It implies that this section of the Longmenshan fault zone has been in an extensional setting,probably associated with the influence of the Hanzhong basin.Through analysis of the tectonic relationship between the Longmenshan fault zone and the Hanzhong basin,this work verifies that the Qingchuan fault played an important role in the evolution of the Hanzhong basin,and further studies the evolution model of this basin.Finally,with consideration of the tectonic setting of the Longmenshan fault zone and the Hanzhong basin as well as seismicity of surrounding areas,this work suggests that this region has no tectonic conditions for great earthquakes and only potential strong events in the future. | WANG Mingming ZHOU Bengang YANG Xiaoping XIE Chao GAO Xianglin | 2013 | Acta Geologica Sinica(English Edition)2013,87,6: | 6 |
| 7 | Recombinant rabies virus expressing IL-15 enhances immunogenicity through promoting the activation of dendritic cells in mice显示文摘Rabies remains a public health threat that kills approximately 59,000 people worldwide each year,most of which are from the developing countries of Africa and Asia where dog rabies are endemic.Therefore, developing an affordable and efficacious vaccine is crucial for rabies control in these countries. Interleukin(IL)-15, an immunoregulatory cytokine, is a pluripotent molecule with therapeutic potential, which targets many cell types and links the innate and adaptive immune system. In this study, IL-15 gene was cloned and inserted into the genome of a recombinant rabies virus(RABV) strain LBNSE(designated as LBNSE-IL15), and the effect of over-expression of IL-15 on the immunogenicity of RABV was investigated. It was found that mice vaccinated with LBNSEIL15 could induce significantly higher level of virus-neutralizing antibody(VNA) than those immunized with LBNSE, resulting in the higher protection after challenge. Further investigation was performed to find out the possible role of IL-15 plays in the process of antibody induction, and it was found that LBNSE-IL15 could enhance the maturation of dendritic cells(DCs) in immunized mice. Furthermore, the mice immunized with LBNSE-IL15 could promote the T_(FH) cells differentiation and the generation of germinal center B cells and plasma cells. Together, these data indicated that IL-15 could be a potential adjuvant in enhancing the immunogenicity of RABV, contributing to the development of more-efficacious rabies vaccines. | Tiange Chen Yajing Zhang Zhao Wang Jie Yang Mingming Li Kunlun Wang Min Cui Zhen F.Fu Ling Zhao Ming Zhou | 2017 | Virologica Sinica2017,32,4: | 5 |

| 9 | Surface Flood and Underground Flood in Xiangxi River Karst Basin: Characteristics, Models, and Comparisons显示文摘Xiangxi River Basin, located in western Hubei Province in central China, is a karst ridge-trough area with an inhomogeneous and complicated distribution of water resources. This paper compares the characteristics of surface and subsurface floods in this karst basin, utilizing a one-parameter Darcian model and the traditional exponential model. The observed hydrographs and inferred water components are strikingly similar for surface and subsurface floods. The Darcian model and the exponential model are based on different views of the flood generation process, with the former fitting the entire hydrograph with a single time constant, and the latter fitting only the recession limb with multiple time constants. Due to the anisotropy and heterogeneity of karst media, a combination of physical and chemical techniques including the use of 3S(remote sensing, geographical information system, global positioning system) method is proposed for an enhanced hydrological investigation to assess and characterize karst water resources in mountainous areas. | Mingming Luo Zhihua Chen Dechao Yin Hamza Jakada He Huang Hong Zhou Tao Wang | 2016 | Journal of Earth Science2016,27,1: | 4 |
| 10 | Serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor as a potential biomarker to evaluate therapeutic response in patients with allergic asthma:an exploratory study显示文摘Background:Previous studies have shown that macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)is involved in the pathogenesis of asthma.This study aimed to investigate whether serum MIF reflects a therapeutic response in allergic asthma.Methods:We enrolled 30 asthmatic patients with mild-to-moderate exacerbations and 20 healthy controls,analyzing the parameter levels of serum MIF,serum total immunoglobulin E(tIgE),peripheral blood eosinophil percentage(EOS%),and fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO).Lung function indices were used to identify disease severity and therapeutic response.Results:Our study showed that all measured parameters in patients were at higher levels than those of controls.After one week of treatment,most parameter levels decreased significantly except for serum tIgE.Furthermore,we found that serum MIF positively correlated with EOS%as well as FeNO,but negatively correlated with lung function indices.Receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curve analysis indicated that among the parameters,serum MIF exhibited a higher capacity to evaluate therapeutic response.The area under the curve(AUC)of MIF was 0.931,with a sensitivity of 0.967 and a specificity of 0.800.Conclusions:Our results suggested that serum MIF may serve as a potential biomarker for evaluating therapeutic response in allergic asthma with mild-to-moderate exacerbations. | Huiyuan ZHU Shaochun YAN Jingshuo WU Zhong ZHANG Xiaolin LI Zheng LIU Xing MA Lina ZHOU Lin ZHANG Mingming FENG Yiwei GENG Aixin ZHANG Sabina JANCIAUSKIENE Aiguo XU | 2021 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2021,22,6: | 3 |

| 12 | Neural matrix and its role in preoperative evaluation of partial epilepsy显示文摘The network characteristic of the central neural system has been widely accepted as a basic fabric form. However,the matrix characteristics of neural network are still not fully understood. If we ignore the matrix characteristics of the neural networks and just pay close attention to its connection mode,we are likely to fall into the theory of mechanical reductionism. This can lead to a problem in representing consciousness in a disadvantageous situation. It can also be a barrier to further improving the global workspace theory. Incomplete elucidation of the mechanisms of consciousness representation can also affect the assessment of the surgical outcome of partial epilepsy with conscious injury. Therefore,this paper reviews the epistemological development of neuroscience. We will initially describe the matrix characteristics of the neural system and their significance to the information processing mechanism,and further explore the role of neural matrix in identifying cases of partial epilepsy with little effect on the resection of the lesion. | Jingzhan Wu Mingming Zhou | 2017 | Translational Neuroscience and Clinics2017,3,4: | 3 |
| 13 | Seasonal and interannual variability of water mass sources of Indonesian throughflow in the Maluku Sea and the Halmahera Sea显示文摘So far, large uncertainties of the Indonesian throughflow(ITF) reside in the eastern Indonesian seas, such as the Maluku Sea and the Halmahera Sea. In this study, the water sources of the Maluku Sea and the Halmahera Sea are diagnosed at seasonal and interannual timescales and at different vertical layers, using the state-of-the-art simulations of the Ocean General Circulation Model(OGCM) for Earth Simulator(OFES). Asian monsoon leaves clear seasonal footprints on the eastern Indonesian seas. Consequently, the subsurface waters(around 24.5σ_θ and at ~150 m) in both the Maluku Sea and the Halmahera Sea stem from the South Pacific(SP) during winter monsoon, but during summer monsoon the Maluku Sea is from the North Pacific(NP), and the Halmahera Sea is a mixture of waters originating from the NP and the SP. The monsoon impact decreases with depth, so that in the Maluku Sea, the intermediate water(around 26.8σ_θ and at ~480 m) is always from the northern Banda Sea and the Halmahera Sea water is mainly from the SP in winter and the Banda Sea in summer. The deep waters(around27.2σ_θ and at ~1 040 m) in both seas are from the SP, with weak seasonal variability. At the interannual timescale,the subsurface water in the Maluku Sea originates from the NP/SP during El Ni?o/La Ni?a, while the subsurface water in the Halmahera Sea always originates from the SP. Similar to the seasonal variability, the intermediate water in Maluku Sea mainly comes from the Banda Sea and the Halmahera Sea always originates from the SP. The deep waters in both seas are from the SP. Our findings are helpful for drawing a comprehensive picture of the water properties in the Indonesian seas and will contribute to a better understanding of the ocean-atmosphere interaction over the maritime continent. | Lu Wang Lei Zhou Lingling Xie Quanan Zheng Qiang Li Mingming Li | 2019 | Acta Oceanologica Sinica2019,38,4: | 3 |
| 14 | A Recombinant Rabies Virus Expressing Fms-like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Ligand(Flt3L) Induces Enhanced Immunogenicity in Mice显示文摘Rabies is a zoonotic disease that still causes 59,000 human deaths each year,and rabies vaccine is the most effective way to control the disease.Our previous studies suggested that the maturation of DC plays an important role in enhancing the immunogenicity of rabies vaccine.Flt3L has been reported to own the ability to accelerate the DC maturation,therefore,in this study,a recombinant rabies virus expressing mouse Flt3L,designated as LBNSE-Flt3L,was constructed,and its immunogenicity was characterized.It was found that LBNSE-FU3L could enhance the maturation of DC both in vitro and in vivo,and significantly more TFH cells and Germinal Center B(GC B)cells were generated in mice immunized with LBNSE-FU3L than those immunized with the parent virus LBNSE.Consequently,expressing of Flt3L could elevate the level of virus-neutralizing antibodies(VNA)in immunized mice which provides a better protection from a lethal rabies virus challenge.Taken together,our study extends the potential of Flt3L as a good adjuvant to develop novel rabies vaccine by enhancing the VNA production through activating the DC—Tfh^GC B axis in immunized mice. | Yachun Zhang Jie Yang Mingming Li Min Cui Zhen FFu Ling Zhao Ming Zhou | 2019 | Virologica Sinica2019,34,6: | 3 |
| 15 | Uterine artery embolization in association with methotrexate infusion for the treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy显示文摘Objective To investigate the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of uterine artery embolization in association with methotrexate(MTX) infusion for the treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy. Methods Fifty-one patients with tubal ectopic pregnancy were referred for interventional management. All patients received super-selective arteriography of the uterine artery, were infused with 50–100 mg methotrexate(MTX) through a catheter, and underwent embolization of the uterine artery with a gel-foam pledge. Clinical presentation, findings of physical examination, β-HCG values, and the size of the ectopic mass were documented for comparison. The concentration of MTX in blood was evaluated at 0.5, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours after the procedure. Results Forty-seven out of the 51 patients had clinical resolution of their tubal pregnancy(92.2%). The average time for the β-HCG value to decrease and come back to normal was 9.16 ± 2.54 days(mean +/-SD). MTX levels in peripheral blood could not be detected for patients who received 50 or 75 mg MTX at 36 hours after the procedure, while the MTX level was 0.01 μmol/L at 48 hours after the procedure for patients who received 100 mg. Out of the 4 cases whose ectopic mass size was ≥5 cm, 3 failed to respond to the treatment; however, those whose ectopic mass size was ≤5 cm responded positively to the treatment, regardless of the β-HCG concentration and abdominal bleeding, except for 1 patient who had to undergo laparoscopy for severe abdominal pain and who showed a reduction in her β-HCG level. Conclusion Uterine artery embolization in association with methotrexate infusion is safe and effective in the treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy, especially for those women with mild to moderate bleeding, or for those at risk of a major hemorrhage. The selection criterion of mass size >5 cm should, therefore, be carefully considered. | Zhi Li Wenjian Xu Bo Hu Mingming Li Jianwei Zhou Caifang Ni | 2018 | Journal of Interventional Medicine2018,1,3: | 2 |
| 16 | The cruise observation of turbulent mixing in the upwelling region east of Hainan Island in the summer of 2012显示文摘The turbulent mixing in the upwelling region east of Hainan Island in the South China Sea is analyzed based on in situ microstructure observations made in July 2012. During the observation, strong upwelling appears in the coastal waters, which are 3℃ cooler than the offshore waters and have a salinity 1.0 greater than that of the offshore waters. The magnitude of the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy ε in the upwelling region is O(10–9 W/kg), which is comparable to the general oceanic dissipation. The inferred eddy diffusivity K_ρ is O(10–6 m^2/s), which is one order of magnitude lower than that in the open ocean. The values are elevated to K_ρ≈O(10–4 m^2/s) near the boundaries. Weak mixing in the upwelling region is consistent with weak instability as a result of moderate shears versus strong stratifications by the joint influence of surface heating and upwelling of cold water.The validity of two fine-scale structure mixing parameterization models are tested by comparison with the observed dissipation rates. The results indicate that the model developed by Mac Kinnon and Gregg in 2003 provides relatively better estimates with magnitudes close to the observations. Mixing parameterization models need to be further improved in the coastal upwelling region. | LI Mingming XIE Lingling ZONG Xiaolong ZHANG Shuwen ZHOU Lei LI Junyi | 2018 | Acta Oceanologica Sinica2018,37,9: | 2 |
| 17 | Research on the Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Loop Heat Pipe Used as Mainline Heat Transfer Mode for Spacecraft显示文摘An experimental research is conducted on the heat transfer characteristics of a loop heat pipe(LHP)used in the'mainline'heat transfer mode for spacecraft platform thermal control.The heat from multiple instruments scattered in different locations is collected by thermal control techniques such as axially grooved heat pipes and then transmitted to the radiant surface for dissipation through the LHP in an unified way.The research contents include the start-up characteristics,the operational stability characteristics,the operational blocking characteristics,the continuous blocking characteristics,the heat transfer capability,the thermal resistance,and the dynamic response characteristics under the change of the heat sink temperature.The results show that the higher the auxiliary starting power is,the easier it is to start the LHP;the higher the input power of the thermoelectric cooler is,the more beneficial it is to speed up the stabilization of the vapor-liquid interface in the condenser;the higher the blocking power,the shorter the blocking time of the LHP;the LHP can be operated stably within the heat sink temperature alteration process;the heat transfer ability is higher than 500 W with a systematic thermal resistance of 0.037℃/W. | WANG Lu MIAO Jianyin GONG Mingming ZHOU Qiangu LIU Changu ZHANG Hongxing FAN Hanlin | 2019 | Journal of Thermal Science2019,28,4: | 2 |
| 18 | Genetically modified CD7-targeting allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy with enhanced efficacy for relapsed/refractory CD7-positive hematological malignancies:a phase I clinical study显示文摘Chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)-T cell therapy against T cell malignancies faces major challenges including fratricide between CAR-T cells and product contamination from the blasts.Allogeneic CAR-T cells,generated from healthy donor T cells,can provide ready-to-use,blast-free therapeutic products,but their application could be complicated by graft-versus-host disease(GvHD)and host rejection.Here we developed healthy donor-derived,CD7-targeting CAR-T cells(RD13-01)with genetic modifications to resist fratricide,GvHD and allogeneic rejection,as well as to potentiate antitumor function.A phase I clinical trial(NCT04538599)was conducted with twelve patients recruited(eleven with T cell leukemia/lymphoma,and one with CD7-expressing acute myeloid leukemia).All patients achieved pre-set end points and eleven proceeded to efficacy evaluation.No dose-limiting toxicity,GvHD,immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity or severe cytokine release syndrome(grade≥3)were observed.28 days post infusion,81.8%of patients(9/11)showed objective responses and the complete response rate was 63.6%(7/11,including the patient with AML).3 of the responding patients were bridged to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.With a median follow-up of 10.5 months,4 patients remained in complete remission.Cytomegalovirus(CMV)and/or Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)reactivation was observed in several patients,and one died from EBV-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Expansion of CD7-negative normal T cells was detected post infusion.In summary,we present the first report of a Phase I clinical trial using healthy donor-derived CD7-targeting allogeneic CAR-T cells to treat CD7^(+)hematological malignancies.Our results demonstrated the encouraging safety and efficacy profiles of the RD13-01 allogeneic CAR-T cells for CD7^(+)tumors. | Yongxian Hu Yali Zhou Mingming Zhang Houli Zhao Guoqing Wei Wengang Ge Qu Cui Qitian Mu Gong Chen Lu Han Tingting Guo Jiazhen Cui Xiaoyan Jiang Xiujun Zheng Shuhui Yu Xiaolong Li Xingwang Zhang Mingxi Chen Xiuju Li Ming Gao Kang Wang Cheng Zu Hao Zhang Xiaohong He Yanbin Wang Dongrui Wang Jiangtao Ren He Huang | 2022 | Cell Research2022,32,11: | 2 |
| 19 | Identification of aeolian loess deposits on the Indo-Gangetic Plain(India)and their significance显示文摘Aeolian loess deposits contain abundant information about the evolution of the paleoenvironment.For example,paleoclimate changes recorded in Chinese loess area obtained significant achievement in the past few decades.Compared to Chinese loess,research on Indian loess is lacking.Currently,most studies focus on the Kashmir area located in the southern Himalayas,and studies on other areas are rare.However,field observations demonstrate that the sediments around the New Delhi-Agra-Jaipur Plain are similar to Chinese loess-paleosol sequences.For example,the boundary between two strata is transitional and without horizontal bedding.Moreover,obvious pedogenic horizons developed among sediment sequences,probably indicating unrecognised aeolian deposits in the Indo-Gangetic Plain(IGP).To confirm this,pilot samples were obtained from the IGP and detailed indoor measurements conducted.The results indicate that the distribution patterns of particle size and rare earth elements(REE) of the pilot samples are similar to Chinese loess.Furthermore,the scanning electronic microscopy(SEM) images of pilot samples show obvious conchoidal fractures,dash-shaped concavities,and abundant small pits that usually form through mechanical impact.These are typical characteristics of aeolian particles.In addition,environmental and rock magnetic measurements indicate that the dominant magnetic minerals in the pilot samples are magnetite and maghemite,and that they likely contain small amounts of hematite.Furthermore,conventional magnetic parameters are comparable with Chinese loess.Based on this,aeolian loess deposits are widely distributed in the IGP,which may have promoted the development of Indian farming and contributed towards the prosperity of ancient Indian civilisation.This study also provides a new and valuable record for the research on paleoclimate changes in the study area in the future. | LIU XiuMing MA MingMing WU HaiBin ZHOU ZiBo | 2017 | Science China Earth Sciences2017,60,3: | 2 |
| 20 | A general model for trailing edge serrations simulation on wind turbine airfoils显示文摘Trailing edge serrations(TESs)are capable of noticeably suppressing the turbulent trailing edge noise induced by rotating wind turbine blades and become an integral part of a blade.However,the challenges involved in the dimensional design of serration height 2 h,wavelengthλand flap angleϕare yet to be dealt with in a satisfactory manner.To address the problem,a general model for simulating the effects of serrations on the hydrodynamic and aeroacoustic performance is proposed due to its ease of use and relatively low requirements for user input.The solid serrations are replicated by momentum sources calculated by its aerodynamic forces.Then,a case relevant to wind turbine airfoil is examined,a hybrid improved delay detached eddy simulation(IDDES)method coupled with FW-H integration is deployed to obtain the flow features and far-field sound pressure level.It is found that the modeling method could reproduce the flow field and noise as serrated airfoil. | Huijing Cao Mingming Zhang Yinan Zhang Teng Zhou | 2021 | Theoretical & Applied Mechanics Letters2021,11,4: | 2 |
