The Process of Generating Single Large Combined Cloud for Grid-Free Solvers

Dealing with moving body problems, where one component moves relatively with respect to other, is a difficult task in CFD due to the efforts needed in grid handling for every delta change in position of the moving component. The inherent nature of mesh-free solvers reduces the efforts needed for these kinds of problems by operating on a cloud of points rather than a grid. A new method to handle moving body problems is proposed, where individual clouds are generated around each component and are combined into a single large combined cloud. The proposed method is applied to store separation problem and results generated using NAL-MCIR mesh-less solver is compared with experimental results

Analysis and control of self-sustained instabilities in a cavity using reduced order modelling

On considère un écoulement compressible bidimensionnel, autour d'une cavité ouverte. Des d'instabilité, auto-entretenues par l'effet de rétroaction de l'écrasement de la couche de cisaillement sur le bord aval de la cavité, génèrent des émissions acoustiques qu'il faut réduire. Des simulations numériques directes (DNS) permettent d'obtenir, avec ou sans actionnement, un modèle précis de l'écoulement. A partir des champs issus de la simulation, des décompositions orthogonales de modes propres (POD) sont proposées pour bâtir, par projection de Galerkin sur les équations isentropiques, des modèles d'ordre réduit non linéaires en prenant en compte l'actionnement (le contrôle). Pour éviter la divergence temporelle, les coefficients du système dynamique non forcé sont calibrés par diverses approches originales dont une basée sur la sensiblité modale. A partir du système dynamique forcé par un actionnement multifréquentiel (présent aussi dans les DNS), un contrôle en boucle fermée linéaire quadratique gaussien est proposé sur un système linéarisé. La reconstruction de l'état est basée sur une estimation stochastique linéaire sur 6 points de pression. Le contrôle optimal obtenu s'avère être périodique à la fréquence du second mode de Rossiter, qui est exactement celles des instabilits auto-entretenues dans la cavité. Par introduction de ce contrôle dans les simulations numériques directes, nous avons obtenu une réduction du bruit (faible) sur la fréquence du contrôle. ABSTRACT : We consider a two dimensional compressible flow around an open cavity. The Flow around a cavity is characterised by a self-sustained mechanism in which the shear layer impinges on the downstream edge of the cavity resulting in an acoustic feedback mechanism which must be reduced. Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of the flow at a representative Reynolds number has been carried to obtain pressure and velocity fields, both for the case of unactuated and multi frequency actuation. These fields are then used to extract energy ranked coherent structures also called as the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) modes. A Reduced Order Model is constructed by a Galerkin projections of the isentropic compressible equations. The model is then extended to include the effect of control. To avoid the divergence of the model while integrating in time various calibration techniques has been utillized. A new method of calibration which minimizes a linear functional of error, based on modal sensitivity is proposed. The calibrated low order model is used to design a feedback control of the Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) type, coupled with an observer. For the experimental implementation of the controller, a state estimate based on the observed pressure measurements at 6 different locations, is obtained through a Linear Stochastic Estimation (LSE). The optimal control obtained is periodic with a frequency corresponding to the second Rossiter mode of the cavity. Finally the control obtained is introduced into the DNS to obtain a decrease in spectra of the cavity acoustic mode

POD based Reduced Order Modelling of a compressible forced cavity flow

The final objective of this work is to utilise a Reduced Order Model based on POD to control the compressible flow over an open cavity. In this communication we will employ some methods of calibration to improve the accuracy of the Reduced Order Model and will also present a strategy to extend the POD basis to include the effect of actuation

Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use in early acute respiratory distress syndrome : Insights from the LUNG SAFE study

Publisher Copyright: © 2020 The Author(s). Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Background: Concerns exist regarding the prevalence and impact of unnecessary oxygen use in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We examined this issue in patients with ARDS enrolled in the Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE (LUNG SAFE) study. Methods: In this secondary analysis of the LUNG SAFE study, we wished to determine the prevalence and the outcomes associated with hyperoxemia on day 1, sustained hyperoxemia, and excessive oxygen use in patients with early ARDS. Patients who fulfilled criteria of ARDS on day 1 and day 2 of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure were categorized based on the presence of hyperoxemia (PaO2 > 100 mmHg) on day 1, sustained (i.e., present on day 1 and day 2) hyperoxemia, or excessive oxygen use (FIO2 ≥ 0.60 during hyperoxemia). Results: Of 2005 patients that met the inclusion criteria, 131 (6.5%) were hypoxemic (PaO2 < 55 mmHg), 607 (30%) had hyperoxemia on day 1, and 250 (12%) had sustained hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use occurred in 400 (66%) out of 607 patients with hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use decreased from day 1 to day 2 of ARDS, with most hyperoxemic patients on day 2 receiving relatively low FIO2. Multivariate analyses found no independent relationship between day 1 hyperoxemia, sustained hyperoxemia, or excess FIO2 use and adverse clinical outcomes. Mortality was 42% in patients with excess FIO2 use, compared to 39% in a propensity-matched sample of normoxemic (PaO2 55-100 mmHg) patients (P = 0.47). Conclusions: Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use are both prevalent in early ARDS but are most often non-sustained. No relationship was found between hyperoxemia or excessive oxygen use and patient outcome in this cohort.

Ultralight vector dark matter search using data from the KAGRA O3GK run

Among the various candidates for dark matter (DM), ultralight vector DM can be probed by laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors through the measurement of oscillating length changes in the arm cavities. In this context, KAGRA has a unique feature due to differing compositions of its mirrors, enhancing the signal of vector DM in the length change in the auxiliary channels. Here we present the result of a search for U(1)B−L gauge boson DM using the KAGRA data from auxiliary length channels during the first joint observation run together with GEO600. By applying our search pipeline, which takes into account the stochastic nature of ultralight DM, upper bounds on the coupling strength between the U(1)B−L gauge boson and ordinary matter are obtained for a range of DM masses. While our constraints are less stringent than those derived from previous experiments, this study demonstrates the applicability of our method to the lower-mass vector DM search, which is made difficult in this measurement by the short observation time compared to the auto-correlation time scale of DM

Development and application of a reduced order model for the control of self-sustained instabilities in cavity flows

Flow around a cavity is characterized by a self-sustained mechanism in which the shear layer impinges on the downstream edge of the cavity resulting in a feedback mechanism. Direct Numerical Simulations of the flow at low Reynolds number has been carried out to get pressure and velocity fluctuations, for the case of un-actuated and multi frequency actuation. A Reduced Order Model for the isentropic compressible equations based on the method of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition has been constructed. The model has been extended to include the effect of control. The Reduced Order dynamical system shows a divergence in time integration. A method of calibration based on them inimization of a linear functional of error, to the sensitivity of the modes, is proposed. The calibrated low order model is used to design a feedback control of cavity flows based on an observer design. For the experimental implementation of the controller, a state estimate based on the observed pressure measurements is obtained through a linear stochastic estimation. Finally the obtained control is introduced into the Direct Numerical Simulation to obtain a decrease in spectra of the cavity acoustic mode
