The academic medical centre and nongovernmental organisation partnership following a natural disaster

The global response to the 12 January 2010 earthquake in Haiti revealed the ability to mobilise medical teams quickly and effectively when academic medical centres partner non-governmental organisations (NGO) that already have a presence in a zone of devastation. Most established NGOs based in a certain region are accustomed to managing the medical conditions that are common to that area and will need additional and specialised support to treat the flux of myriad injured persons. Furthermore, an NGO with an established presence in a region prior to a disaster appears better positioned to provide sustained recovery and rehabilitation relief. Academic medical centres can supply these essential specialised resources for a prolonged time. This relationship between NGOs and academic medical centres should be further developed prior to another disaster response. This model has great potential with regard to the rapid preparation and worldwide deployment of skilled medical and surgical teams when needed following a disaster, as well as to the subsequent critical recovery phase.     

火源长宽比对隧道内矩形火燃烧特性的影响研究

开展了一系列小尺寸实验研究隧道内不同火源受限情况下的火焰形态和顶棚射流火焰长度。实验中采用四个长宽比范围1~8的矩形气体燃烧器作为火源,并通过改变火源的摆放位置和贴壁方向(长边贴壁和短边贴壁)来改变火源的受限程度。结果表明:当火源置于开放空间非受限场景时,随着火源长宽比的增大,火源卷吸空气周长增大,导致火焰高度不断减小。对于贴壁火当矩形火源的长边贴壁时,随着长宽比的增大,其火焰高度同样不断减小;由于卷吸不对称,火焰贴着墙壁向上方蔓延,其火焰高度明显高于开放空间条件下的值。当火源短边贴壁时,火焰高度虽然仍随长宽比的增大而减小,但其火焰高度与开放空间相近,明显小于长边贴壁的情况,说明此时空气卷吸受限程度不大,火焰蔓延没有受到墙壁明显的影响。在前人对轴对称火源(方形和圆形火源)研究的基础上,本文对矩形火源位于隧道纵向中心线和紧贴隧道侧壁的火焰形态和火源长度进行了实验研究,定义了一个修正的无量纲火源功率?Q *mod,并引入了考虑矩形火源长宽比的无量纲特征参量(n+1)/n,建立了综合考虑火源功率、火源尺寸和贴壁方向的矩形贴壁火的火焰长度关系式。     

水平风对不同液位深度酒精池火火焰长度的影响

通过改变风速、液位深度的大小,研究边界条件变化对酒精池火火焰长度的影响。研究结果表明：在无量纲液位深度小于一定值时,酒精池火的火焰长度会随着风速的增加而增大,当无量纲液位深度较大时,油盘外部酒精池火的火焰长度基本为0。风速相同而液位深度不同时,酒精池火的火焰长度会随着液位深度的增大首先增大,而后逐渐减小。这主要是因为,液位深度较大时,燃料表面的供氧量降低导致燃烧效率降低,最终导致火焰长度的减小。     

预混乙炔-空气爆燃火焰在平板狭缝中传播与熄灭的实验研究

通过对预混乙炔-空气爆燃火焰在平板狭缝中的传播与熄灭过程进行试验研究,分析临界火焰传播速度、狭缝高度和熄灭长度之间的关系。实验结果表明,当狭缝高度一定时,临界火焰传播速度越大,熄灭长度越大,熄灭长度与临界火焰传播速度近似呈正比例关系。在相同的临界火焰传播速度条件下,随着狭缝高度的增加,熄灭长度值迅速增大,说明狭缝高度对预混火焰的传播与熄灭有显著影响。

阻塞条件下地铁隧道坡度对烟气逆流长度影响研究

在隧道纵向通风系统设计中,烟气逆流长度是至关重要的参数,传统的理论预测模型多适用于公路隧道,对阻塞条件下有坡度的地铁隧道烟气逆流长度的研究较少。通过理论分析、缩尺寸实验和FDS数值模拟,推导了适用于阻塞条件下有坡度的地铁隧道的无量纲烟气逆流长度模型,得到了烟气逆流长度随坡度的变化规律。研究结果表明,基于FDS模拟的水平地铁隧道烟气逆流长度与实验结果变化规律基本一致,该FDS模型可以研究不同坡度工况,且逆流长度随着坡度的增加呈增加趋势。     

露天矿采空区爆破合理孔底填塞长度与起爆位置确定

为研究孔底填塞长度与起爆位置对露天矿采空区上覆岩石台阶爆破的影响,进行了数值模拟和工业试验。运用ANSYS/LS-DYNA软件构建了爆破模型,分析了存在采空区时台阶的爆破机理,通过对比分析不同孔底填塞长度、不同起爆位置下爆破时岩石拉应力及动能变化,揭示其对采空区爆破效果的影响,确定了采空区上覆岩石台阶的合理爆破方法,并通过工业试验进行了验证。结果表明:采空区的存在导致爆破能量的利用效率降低;中间起爆技术适合采空区上覆岩石爆破;孔底填塞长度在一定临界范围内时,爆破能量的利用效率是最佳的;确定了武家塔露天煤矿采空区上覆岩石台阶爆破采用中间起爆技术且孔底填塞长度为2 m。     

Propagation Characteristics of Gas Explosion in Linked Vessels Based on DDT Criteria

To study the occurrence conditions and propagation characteristics of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) in linked vessels, two typical linked vessels were investigated in this study. The DDT of the methane–air mixture under different pipe lengths and inner diameters was studied. Results showed that the CJ detonation pressure of the methane–air mixture was 1.86 MPa, and the CJ detonation velocity was 1987.4 m/s. Compared with a single pipe, the induced distance of DDT is relatively short in the linked vessels. With the increase in pipeline length, DDT is more likely to occur. Under the same pipe diameter, the DDT induction distance in the vessel–pipe–vessel structure is shorter than that in the vessel–pipe structure. With the increase in pipeline diameter, the length of the pipe required to form the DDT is reduced. For linked vessels in which detonation formed, four stages, namely, slow combustion, deflagration, deflagration to detonation, and stable detonation, occurred in the vessels. Moreover, for a pipe diameter of 60 mm and a length of 8 m, overdriven detonation occurred in the vessel–pipe–vessel structure.     

东北松嫩典型黑土区长缓坡耕地土壤侵蚀沿坡长变化规律及其对土壤质量的影响

东北黑土区,尤其是农垦地区,是我国重要的粮食生产基地。土壤侵蚀导致耕地质量严重退化,威胁粮食安全。选取克山农场坡长为1020 m的直型坡、凹型坡和凹—直复合型坡耕地,利用¹³⁷Cs示踪技术估算坡面土壤侵蚀模数,测定土壤有机碳作为耕地土壤质量参数,揭示典型黑土区长缓坡耕地土壤侵蚀强度沿坡长变化规律及耕地土壤质量参数的响应。结果表明：（1）不同坡形长缓坡耕地土壤侵蚀差异显著,直型坡多年平均侵蚀速率（3040 t·km^-2·a^-1）<复合型坡（3395 t·km^-2·a^-1）<凹型坡（4220 t·km^-2·a^-1）。（2）直型坡、凹型坡、凹—直复合型坡均呈现出侵蚀强—弱周期性变化规律,其振荡周期分别为380 m、250 m和300 m。（3）土壤有机碳含量与土壤侵蚀速率呈极显著负相关关系,其沿坡长变化规律与土壤侵蚀速率沿坡长变化规律相反。土壤侵蚀是造成黑土坡耕地土壤质量退化的直接原因,研究结果可为黑土长缓坡耕地水土保持措施的精准布设及土壤养分管理提供理论支持。
