Abstract:
Finite element simulation technology was applied to the steady heat transfer and thermo-mechanical coupling analysis in order to investigate the influence of thermal load on stress intensity and sealing performance. An finite element heat transfer model of cylinder head joint assembly was set up, based on which the steady heat transfer analysis was performed subsequently by applying reasonable boundary conditions and loads. The influence on cylinder head sealing performance due to thermal field under the thermal stress conditions was evaluated by using the finite element method. The results showed that the thermal load increases the bolt tensile force and the gasket pressure, which help to improve the sealing performance. Compared to the mechanical load case, the thermo-mechanical stress of the liner and the cylinder head is obviously increased, so the thermal load is not neglectable when calculating the stress intensity of the cylinder head and the cylinder liner.

Abstract:
Internal combustion engines are the most common sources of energy among heat engines. Therefore, the improvement of their design and workflow is an urgent task in the development of world energy. Thermal-mechanical perfection of the exhaust system has a significant impact on the technical and economic performance of piston engines. The article presents the results of experimental studies of gas-dynamics and heat exchange of pulsating gas flows in the exhaust system of a piston engine. Studies were carried out on a full-scale model of a single-cylinder engine. The article describes the instrument-measuring base and methods of experiments. The heat transfer intensity was estimated in different elements of the exhaust system: the exhaust pipe, the channel in the cylinder head, the valve assembly. Heat transfer studies were carried out taking into account the gas-dynamic nonstationarity characteristic of gas exchange processes in engines. The article presents data on the influence of gas-dynamic and regime factors on the heat transfer intensity. It is shown that the restructuring of the gas flow structure in the exhaust system occurs depending on the engine crankshaft speed, this has a significant impact on the local heat transfer coefficient. It has been established that the heat transfer intensity in the valve assembly is 2-3 times lower than in other elements of the exhaust system.

Abstract The influence of the electric field strength and interelectrode spacing on the heat transfer intensity at boiling in an electrohydrodynamic flow was studied. It was stated that the heat transfer coefficient increases with the increasing of the field strength. The influence of the interelectrode spacing is ambiguous. The efficiency of the action of a electrohydrodynamic flow on the heat transfer intensity at boiling was evaluated using the ratio of the heat transfer coefficient at boiling in the field to the heat transfer coefficient at boiling without the field. The relationships for calculation were obtained that satisfactorily agree with the experimental data.

Abstract:
Currently, porous metals are not used in heat supply systems. Usage of porous materials in heat exchangers increases the heat transfer intensity and makes the heat exchangers more compact. An experimental setup consisting of two circuits was developed in order to study the influence of porous metals on heat transfer intensity. In the first circuit the hot coolant is water, which flows through narrow tubes inside the porous metal. In the second circuit the cold coolant is freon. The purpose of the study is to obtain experimental confirmation of the hypothesis of an increase in the heat transfer intensity when using porous metals. To achieve this goal, experiments were carried out, which showed the increased heat transfer intensity. The standard methods for calculating heat exchangers cannot be applied in this case as the inner pores’ surface is unknown. A mathematical model was compiled allowing engineering calculations for the heat exchangers of this type. The hot water temperature inside the heat exchanger is determined analytically. The resulting equation allows us to determine the cooling degree of the first coolant, i.e. hot water. The obtained deviations between experimental and analytical data are within the acceptable limits, which indicates the reliability of the proposed model.

Full text
Abstract:
Full-coverage or effusion cooling is commonly used in the thermal management of gas turbine combustion systems. The combustor environment is characterised by highly turbulent free-stream conditions and relatively large turbulent length scales. This turbulent flow field is predominantly created by the upstream fuel injector for lean burn systems. In rich burn systems the turbulent flow field is augmented further by the addition of dilution ports. The available evidence suggests that large energetic eddies interact strongly with the injected coolant fluid and may have a significant impact on the film-cooling performance. The desire to create compact low-emission combustion systems with improved specific fuel consumption, has given rise to a desire to reduce the quantity of air used in wall cooling, and has led to the need for improved cooling correlations and validated computational methods. In order to establish a greater understanding of effusion cooling under conditions of very high free-stream turbulence, a new laboratory test facility has been created that is capable of simulating representative combustor flow conditions, and that allows for a systematic investigation of cooling performance over a range of free-stream turbulence conditions (up to 25% intensity, integral length scale-to-coolant hole diameter ratios of 26) and coolant to mainstream density ratios (??_c/??_??? ???2). This thesis describes this new test facility, including the method for generating combustor relevant flow conditions. The hot side film cooling performance of cylindrical and fanned hole effusion has been evaluated in terms of adiabatic film-cooling effectiveness and normalised heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and heat flux reduction (HFR). Infrared thermography was employed to produce spatial resolved surface temperature distributions of the effusion surface. The analysis of this data is supported by fluid temperature field measurements. The interpretation of the data has established the impact of turbulence intensity, integral length scale and density ratio on the mixing processes between free-stream and coolant flows. Elevated levels of free-stream turbulence increase the rate of mixing and degrade the cooling effectiveness at low blowing ratios whereas at high blowing ratios, where the coolant detaches from the surface, a modest increase has been observed under certain conditions; this is due to the turbulent transport of the detached coolant fluid back towards the wall. For angled cylindrical hole injection the impact of density ratio as an independent parameter was found to be relatively weak. Adiabatic effectiveness data gathered at DR's of 1 - 1.4 scaled reasonable well when plotted against momentum flux ratio. This suggests data collected at low DR's can be scaled to engine representative DR's. The investigation of shaped cooling holes found fanned effusion has the potential to dramatically improve film effectiveness. The diffusion of the flow through a fanned exit prevented jet detachment at blowing ratios up to 5, increasing spatially averaged effectiveness by 89%.

Abstract:
The influence of freestream turbulence representative of the flow downstream of a modern gas turbine combustor and first stage vane on turbine blade heat transfer has been measured and analytically modeled in a linear, transonic turbine cascade. Measurements were performed on a high turning, transonic turbine blade. The facility is capable of heated flow with inlet total temperature of 120ºC and inlet total pressure of 10 psig. The Reynolds number based on blade chord and exit conditions (5x106) and the inlet and exit Mach numbers (0.4 and 1.2, respectively) are representative of conditions in a modern gas turbine engine. High intensity, large length-scale freestream turbulence was generated using a passive turbulence-generating grid to simulate the turbulence generated in modern combustors after it has passed through the first stage vane row. The grid produced freestream turbulence with intensity of approximately 10-12% and an integral length scale of 2 cm near the entrance of the cascade passages, which is believed to be representative of the core flow entering a first stage gas turbine rotor blade row. Mean heat transfer results showed an increase in heat transfer coefficient of approximately 8% on the suction surface of the blade, with increases on the pressure surface on the order of two times higher than on the suction surface (approximately 17%). This corresponds to increases in blade surface temperature of 5-10%, which can significantly reduce the life of a turbine blade. The heat transfer data were compared with correlations from published literature with good agreement. Time-resolved surface heat transfer and passage velocity measurements were performed to investigate and quantify the effects of the turbulence on heat transfer and to correlate velocity fluctuations with heat transfer fluctuations. The data demonstrates strong coherence in velocity and heat flux at a frequency correlating with the most energetic eddies in the turbulence flow field (the integral length-scale). An analytical model was developed to predict increases in surface heat transfer due to freestream turbulence based on local measurements of turbulent velocity fluctuations (u'RMS) and length-scale (Lx). The model was shown to predict measured increases in heat flux on both blade surfaces in the current data. The model also successfully predicted the increases in heat transfer measured in other work in the literature, encompassing different geometries (flat plate, cylinder, turbine vane and turbine blade) as well as both laminar and turbulent boundary layers, but demonstrated limitations in predicting early transition and heat transfer in turbulent boundary layers. Model analyses in the frequency domain provided valuable insight into the scales of turbulence that are most effective at increasing surface heat transfer.

Abstract:
The inverse heat conduction task is solved to determine boundary condition of the heat equation. This work deals with the ways how to increase the accuracy of the results obtained by solving inverse task based on the Beck sequential algorithm. The work is focused on the boundary condition changing very fast. This boundary condition is determinable with difficulty. It is shown that the placement and the type of the thermocouple play major role in accuracy of the calculation. The frequency of measuring and the discriminability of used devices also play a role as well as the setup of parameters in the inverse task. The election of mentioned parameters is described with regard to the speed of cooling. Knowledge from the theoretical part of the work is applied in the experimental part. The cooling intensity is investigated during spraying of the steel sample by water with nanoparticles Al2O3, TiO2, Fe and MWNT at three different concentrations. The experiments were carried out for three spray heights (40, 100, 160 mm), three flow rates (1, 1.5, 2 kg/min) and two types of the nozzle (full cone and solid jet). Surprisingly, the cooling intensity by using nanofluids is lower about 30% in comparison to the cooling intensity of pure water. But there was an exception. The cooling intensity of 1 wt.% of carbon nanotubes in water falling from the full cone nozzle placed in distance of 100 mm from the steel surface was higher about 174%. Finally, the reasons of the behavior of nanofluids are discussed.

Abstract:
The high turbine inlet temperature of modern gas turbines poses a challenge to the material used in the turbine blading of the primary stages. Mechanical failure mechanisms are more pronounced at these high temperatures, setting the lifetime of the blade. It is therefore crucial to obtain accurate local metal temperature predictions of the turbine blade. Accurately predicting the external heat transfer coefficient (HTC) distribution of the blade is therefore of uttermost importance. At present time, Siemens Energy uses the boundary layer code TEXSTAN for this purpose. The limitations coupled to such codes however make them less applicable for the complex flow physics involved in the hot gas path of turbine blading. The thesis therefore aims at introducing CFD for calculating the external HTC. This includes conducting an extensive literature study to find and validate a suitable methodology. The literature study was centered around RANS modeling, reviewing how the calculation of the HTC has evolved and the performance of some common turbulence and transition models. From the literature study, the SST k − ω model in conjunction with the γ − Reθ transition model, the v2 − f model and the Lag EB k − ε model were chosen for the investigation of a suitable methodology. The validation of the methodology was based on the extensively studied LS89 vane linear cascade of the von Karman Institute. In total 13 test cases of the cascade were chosen to represent a wide range of flow conditions. Both a periodic model and a model of the entire LS89 cascade were tested but there were great uncertainties whether or not the correct flow conditions were achieved with the model of the entire cascade. It was therefore abandoned and a periodic model was used instead. The decay of turbulence intensity is not known in the LS89 cascade. This made the case difficult to model since the turbulence boundary conditions then were incomplete. Two approaches were attempted to handle this deficiency, where one was ultimately found invalid. It was recognized that the Steelant-Dick postulation could be used in order to find a turbulent length scale which when specified at the inlet, lead to fairly good agreement with data of the HTC. The validation showed that the SST γ − Reθ model performs relatively well on the suction side and in transition onset predictions but worse on the pressure side for certain flow conditions. The v2 − f model performed better on the pressure side and on a small portion of the suction side. Literature emphasized the importance of obtaining proper turbulence characteristics around the vane for accurate HTC-predictions. It was found that the results of the validation step could be closely coupled to this statement and that further work is needed regarding this. Further research must also be done on the Steelant-Dick postulation to validate it as a reliable method in prescribing the inlet length scale.

Resumo: Dois métodos de cocção (forno e chapa) e três temperaturas internas finais (65, 71 e 77°C) foram aplicados em contrafilé bovino (m. longissimus lumborum), com o objetivo de avaliar qual dos procedimentos proporciona a obtenção de um produto com perfil sensorial descritivo superior em relação à qualidade sensorial. As amostras de contrafilé, porção compreendida da 12º costela e a 2º vértebra lombar, de meias carcaças esquerdas de bovinos da raça Angus, da mesma idade e acabamento de gordura, foram coletadas e congeladas (-20ºC). Cada peça foi cortada em seis bifes de 2.54 cm, que foram embalados a vácuo e mantidos congelados. Os bifes foram distribuídos em seis tratamentos. Para a cocção, os bifes foram descongelados a 4°C por 24 horas antes das análises. As temperaturas internas foram monitoradas por meio de termopares inseridos no centro geométrico de cada bife. Para a perda de peso por cocção, houve interação significativa do método de cocção X temperatura interna final (p=0.002). O aumento da temperatura aumentou constantemente as perdas por cocção em ambos os métodos de cocção, de 65ºC para 77ºC. A 65ºC e 71ºC as perdas por cocção foram similares entre forno e chapa, enquanto a 77ºC, as amostras assadas no forno tiveram as maiores perdas, provavelmente devido ao longo tempo de preparo. Para a força de cisalhamento, não houve interação do método de cocção X temperatura interna final (p=0.54). Os bifes preparados a 65°C e 71ºC tiveram menores valores de WBSF (p<0,05), enquanto que aqueles preparados a 77°C tiveram valores maiores (p<0,05). Na análise de aceitação, a aparência, o aroma e o sabor tiveram maior aceitação nas amostras preparadas no forno elétrico em temperaturas mais altas, entretanto a maciez e a suculência tiveram maior aceitação nas amostras preparadas em temperaturas mais baixas, independente do método de cocção. Os bifes grelhados na chapa elétrica a 65°C foram melhores, porque proporcionaram a obtenção de uma amostra com aceitação significativamente superior em relação a todas as características sensoriais analisadas. Na Análise Descritiva Quantitativa, os bifes do forno e da chapa a 65°C foram principalmente caracterizados pelos atributos de aroma e sabor de sangue, sabor metálico, suculência, maciez, suculência aparente e cor interna vermelha. Na análise tempo-intensidade, a Imáx do estímulo maciez e suculência foi significativamente maior (p<0,05) no forno elétrico em relação à chapa elétrica. E em relação às temperaturas a Imáx das amostras submetidas a 65 e 71ºC não diferiram (p>0,05), mas diferiram (p<0,05) das amostras a 77ºC. O Ttot não foi diferente (p>0,05) para as amostras nos métodos de cocção e nas temperaturas internas finais para os estímulos de maciez e suculência. Portanto sugere-se que as diferenças encontradas pelos assessores na maciez e suculência das amostras, foram percebidas somente a primeira mordida (Imáx). E durante a mastigação até a fase de deglutição (Ttot) não variaram, indicando que as amostras permaneceram igualmente homogêneas em relação aos dois atributos após a primeira mordida
Abstract: Two cooking methods (oven and griddles) and three end-point temperatures (65, 71 and 77°C) were applied in beef strip loin (m. longissimus lumborum), to assess which of the procedures provides a product with superior descriptive sensory profile in order to the sensory quality. Strip loin samples with the similar degree of fat thickness from the 12th rib to the second lumbar vertebra of the left side of the carcass of similarly age Angus steers were collected and frozen (-20ºC). Each piece was cut into six 2.54 cm thick steaks. The steaks remained vacuum packed and frozen. For cooking, the steaks were thawed at 4°C for 24 hours. The internal temperatures were monitored by thermocouples inserted in the geometric center of each steak. The interaction between cooking method and end-point temperature had a significant (P=0.002) impact on cooking loss. The increasing end-point temperature, constantly increase levels of cooking loss in both cooking methods, from 65ºC to 77ºC. At 65ºC and 71ºC the cooking loss were similar between oven and griddle, while at 77ºC the oven had the great loss, probably due to the long cooking. The interaction between cooking method and end-point temperature did not significantly impact (P=0.54) shear force. The steaks prepared at 65°C and 71ºC had lower (P<0.05) shear force values, while those prepared at 77°C had higher values (P<0.05). In acceptance analysis of appearance, aroma and flavor, samples cooked in electric oven, at higher temperatures, had the greater acceptance, however the tenderness and juiciness had greater acceptance in samples prepared at lower temperatures, regardless the method of cooking. Steaks grilled on the counter-top griddles at 65°C yielded a sample with a significantly greater acceptability in terms of all of the sensory characteristics analyzed. For Descriptive Quantitative Analysis, steaks prepared in oven and griddles at 65°C were mainly characterized by a blood aroma and flavor, a metallic flavor, juiciness, initial tenderness, apparent juiciness and internal red color. In the time-intensity analysis, the Imax values for tenderness and juiciness stimuli was higher (P<0.05) for the samples subjected to the electric oven as compared to the electric griddles. Regarding the temperatures, although the Imax for tenderness and juiciness of the samples subjected to temperatures of 65 and 71ºC were not different (P>0.05), it differed (P<0.05) from the samples at 77ºC. The Ttot value was not different (P>0.05) for both cooking methods and end-point temperatures in relation to the stimuli tenderness and juiciness. It can be suggested that the differences on tenderness and juiciness found by the assessors were noted only at first bite (Imax). Perception of tenderness and juiciness during chewing to swallowing (Ttot) did not vary, indicating that the samples remained homogeneous for both attributes after the first bite

Abstract:
The path to future aero-engines with more efficient engine architectures requires advanced thermal management technologies to handle the demand of refrigeration and lubrication. Oil systems, holding a double function as lubricant and coolant circuits, require supplemental cooling sources to the conventional fuel based cooling systems as the current oil thermal capacity becomes saturated with future engine developments. The present research focuses on air/oil coolers, which geometrical characteristics and location are designed to minimize aerodynamic effects while maximizing the thermal exchange. The heat exchangers composed of parallel fins are integrated at the inner wall of the secondary duct of a turbofan. The analysis of the interaction between the three-dimensional high velocity bypass flow and the heat exchangers is essential to evaluate and optimize the aero-thermodynamic performances, and to provide data for engine modeling. The objectives of this research are the development of engine testing methods alternative to flight testing, and the characterization of the aerothermal behavior of different finned heat exchanger configurations. A new blow-down wind tunnel test facility was specifically designed to replicate the engine bypass flow in the region of the splitter. The annular sector type test section consists on a complex 3D geometry, as a result of three dimensional numerical flow simulations. The flow evolves over the splitter duplicated at real scale, guided by helicoidally shaped lateral walls. The development of measurement techniques for the present application involved the design of instrumentation, testing procedures and data reduction methods. Detailed studies were focused on multi-hole and fine wire thermocouple probes. Two types of test campaigns were performed dedicated to: flow measurements along the test section for different test configurations, i.e. in the absence of heat exchangers and in the presence of different heat exchanger geometries, and heat transfer measurements on the heat exchanger. As a result contours of flow velocity, angular distributions, total and static pressures, temperatures and turbulence intensities, at different bypass duct axial positions, as well as wall pressures along the test section, were obtained. The analysis of the flow development along the test section allowed the understanding of the different flow behaviors for each test configuration. Comparison of flow variables at each measurement plane permitted quantifying and contrasting the different flow disturbances. Detailed analyses of the flow downstream of the heat exchangers were assessed to characterize the flow in the fins¿ wake region. The aerodynamic performance of each heat exchanger configuration was evaluated in terms of non dimensional pressure losses. Fins convective heat transfer characteristics were derived from the infrared fin surface temperature measurements through a new methodology based on inverse heat transfer methods coupled with conductive heat flux models. The experimental characterization permitted to evaluate the cooling capacity of the investigated type of heat exchangers for the design operational conditions. Finally, the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger at different points of the flight envelope during a typical commercial mission was estimated by extrapolating the convective properties of the flow to flight conditions.

Abstract:
The development of the constant voltage anemometer (CVA) for the boundary layer data system (BLDS) has been motivated by a need for the explicit autonomous measurement of velocity fluctuations in the boundary layer. The frequency response of a sensor operated by CVA has been studied analytically and experimentally. The thermal lag of the sensor is quantified by a time constant, MCVA. When the time constant is decreased, the half-amplitude cut-off frequency, fCVA, is increased, thereby decreasing the amount of attenuation during measurements. In this thesis, three main approaches have been outlined in theory and tested experimentally to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing them with CVA to limit attenuation: operation at higher Vw, implementation of software compensation, and utilization of smaller diameter sensors. Operation of CVA at higher voltage results in little improvement in frequency response but is accompanied by increased danger of wire burnout. However, sensors do need to be operated at high wire voltages to be more sensitive to velocity fluctuations and less sensitive to temperature fluctuations, without reaching a temperature high enough for wire burnout. Software compensation of the CVA output has been shown not to be useful for measurements with BLDS. The electrical noise present in the CVA measurement system is amplified by the correction algorithm and creates measurements that are not representative of the fluctuations being measured. Decreasing sensor diameter leads to a significant decrease of MCVA and therefore increase of fCVA. Under similar operating conditions, a 2.5 micron diameter sensor showed less roll off in the frequency spectra (measured higher turbulence intensities) than a 3.8 micron diameter sensor for tests in both a turbulent jet and in a turbulent boundary layer. Smaller sensors are more fragile and have been shown to have a decrease in sensitivity as compared to larger sensors; however, for some applications, the increase in frequency response may be worth the trade-off with fragility and sensitivity.

Abstract:
AbstractDespite the fact that elderly people are the main incidental and continuously growing patient group with head and neck cancer, prospective trials focusing on special issues regarding head and neck surgery in elderlies are missing. To avoid complications during and after surgery in that patient category, comprehensive evaluation of functional status, comorbidities, performance status, social support and mental condition is mandatory. Regarding functional parameters, cardiac and respiratory conditions play a major role for any primary surgical procedure. Nevertheless, other comorbidities, medication and patients view on self-determination have carefully to be taken into consideration. It has repeatedly been shown that fit elderly individuals may benefit from intensive therapies like reconstructive surgery with microvascular free tissue transfer, concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the locoregionally advanced disease setting, and even from the standard first- and second-line palliative systemic therapies. Since it is well known that tolerance of systemic nonsurgical treatments in elderly people is less and therefore death from noncancer-related causes in that population is higher, moderate surgical procedures can be even more effective regarding quality of life in situations facing higher comorbidities, or functional constraints with limited life expectancy compared to nonsurgical standard approaches. Older people usually are at increased risk of postoperative complications. In particular, organ failure progresses much faster in multiple organ failure. The preoperative clarification of comorbidity for the avoidance of surgical complications is therefore of major importance. Close coordination with anesthesia and rapid postoperative mobilization are essential for this. Decision-making and treatment based on specific assessment in an experienced multidisciplinary team is key.

Abstract:
This paper presents a numerical procedure for achieving desired features of a melt undergoing solidification by applying an external magnetic field whose intensity and spatial distribution are obtained by the use of a hybrid optimization algorithm. The intensities of the magnets along the boundaries of the container are described as B-splines. The inverse problem is then formulated as to find the magnetic boundary conditions (the coefficients of the B-splines) in such a way that the gradients of temperature along the gravity direction are minimized. For this task, a hybrid optimization code was used that incorporates several of the most popular optimization modules; the Davidon-Fletcher-Powell (DFP) gradient method, a genetic algorithm (GA), the Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex method, quasi-Newton algorithm of Pshenichny-Danilin (LM), differential evolution (DE), and sequential quadratic programming (SQP). Transient Navier-Stokes and Maxwell equations were discretized using finite volume method in a generalized curvilinear non-orthogonal coordinate system. For the phase change problems, an enthalpy formulation was used. The code was validated against analytical and numerical benchmark results with very good agreements in both cases.

Full text
Abstract:
The time-averaged form of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) includes emission and absorption correlations that need to be modeled. There is no general formulation to estimate the absorption coefficient-radiation intensity correlation, which is generally neglected (optically thin fluctuation approximation–OTFA). Here, a model to compute this correlation, as well as the other correlations in the time-averaged form of the RTE, is described. The formulation is based on the solution of two additional differential equations. The unclosed correlations in these equations are estimated assuming that the joint probability density function (pdf) of the radiation intensity and mixture fraction is a two-dimensional clipped Gaussian distribution. The model is applied to a turbulent jet diffusion flame, and a preliminary assessment of the model is reported. It is shown that fluctuations of the radiation intensity, caused by turbulence, imply the existence of a correlation between the radiation intensity and local properties. The assumption of the shape of the joint pdf of mixture fraction and radiation intensity yields satisfactory predictions if the turbulent fluctuations are moderate, but becomes inaccurate near the flame edge where turbulent fluctuations are very large. Nevertheless, the present results suggest that the proposed model may yield better predictions than the OTFA.

Abstract:
On the base of modern probability approach closed equation for probability density function of coordinates and velocities of two particles in turbulent flow is obtained. The system of equations for balance of mass, averaged velocities and intensities of turbulent chaotic motion of particles with account of correlated motion of particles are deduced. The closed expressions for intensity of relative chaotic motion between particles are obtained on the base of probability density function of particles displacement with correlation effects. Spectral presentation of second velocity moments of gas phase is used for calculation of intensity of particles relative chaotic motion. Boundary condition taking into account coefficients of new particle formation and momentum restitution during two particles collision is found. Formula for calculation of turbulent coagulation kernel of particles in gravity field is gain. Influence of cloud turbulence and turbulence in a pipe flow on intensity of droplets coagulation is studied. Strong effects of relative turbulent diffusion between droplets, droplets inertia and droplets gravitational settling on intensity of coagulation are found out. Connection between internal structure of turbulence type and coagulation rate is illustrated. The calculation results are compared with data of large eddy simulations. The results of calculation intensity of droplets relative motion in atmospheric conditions are presented.

African Open Science Platform Part 1: Landscape Study. Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/assaf.2019/0047.

Full text
Abstract:
This report maps the African landscape of Open Science – with a focus on Open Data as a sub-set of Open Science. Data to inform the landscape study were collected through a variety of methods, including surveys, desk research, engagement with a community of practice, networking with stakeholders, participation in conferences, case study presentations, and workshops hosted. Although the majority of African countries (35 of 54) demonstrates commitment to science through its investment in research and development (R&D), academies of science, ministries of science and technology, policies, recognition of research, and participation in the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI), the following countries demonstrate the highest commitment and political willingness to invest in science: Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition to existing policies in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), the following countries have made progress towards Open Data policies: Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. Only two African countries (Kenya and South Africa) at this stage contribute 0.8% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to R&D (Research and Development), which is the closest to the AU’s (African Union’s) suggested 1%. Countries such as Lesotho and Madagascar ranked as 0%, while the R&D expenditure for 24 African countries is unknown. In addition to this, science globally has become fully dependent on stable ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure, which includes connectivity/bandwidth, high performance computing facilities and data services. This is especially applicable since countries globally are finding themselves in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is not only “about” data, but which “is” data. According to an article1 by Alan Marcus (2015) (Senior Director, Head of Information Technology and Telecommunications Industries, World Economic Forum), “At its core, data represents a post-industrial opportunity. Its uses have unprecedented complexity, velocity and global reach. As digital communications become ubiquitous, data will rule in a world where nearly everyone and everything is connected in real time. That will require a highly reliable, secure and available infrastructure at its core, and innovation at the edge.” Every industry is affected as part of this revolution – also science. An important component of the digital transformation is “trust” – people must be able to trust that governments and all other industries (including the science sector), adequately handle and protect their data. This requires accountability on a global level, and digital industries must embrace the change and go for a higher standard of protection. “This will reassure consumers and citizens, benefitting the whole digital economy”, says Marcus. A stable and secure information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure – currently provided by the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) – is key to advance collaboration in science. The AfricaConnect2 project (AfricaConnect (2012–2014) and AfricaConnect2 (2016–2018)) through establishing connectivity between National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), is planning to roll out AfricaConnect3 by the end of 2019. The concern however is that selected African governments (with the exception of a few countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia and others) have low awareness of the impact the Internet has today on all societal levels, how much ICT (and the 4th Industrial Revolution) have affected research, and the added value an NREN can bring to higher education and research in addressing the respective needs, which is far more complex than simply providing connectivity. Apart from more commitment and investment in R&D, African governments – to become and remain part of the 4th Industrial Revolution – have no option other than to acknowledge and commit to the role NRENs play in advancing science towards addressing the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). For successful collaboration and direction, it is fundamental that policies within one country are aligned with one another. Alignment on continental level is crucial for the future Pan-African African Open Science Platform to be successful. Both the HIPSSA ((Harmonization of ICT Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa)3 project and WATRA (the West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly)4, have made progress towards the regulation of the telecom sector, and in particular of bottlenecks which curb the development of competition among ISPs. A study under HIPSSA identified potential bottlenecks in access at an affordable price to the international capacity of submarine cables and suggested means and tools used by regulators to remedy them. Work on the recommended measures and making them operational continues in collaboration with WATRA. In addition to sufficient bandwidth and connectivity, high-performance computing facilities and services in support of data sharing are also required. The South African National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System5 (NICIS) has made great progress in planning and setting up a cyberinfrastructure ecosystem in support of collaborative science and data sharing. The regional Southern African Development Community6 (SADC) Cyber-infrastructure Framework provides a valuable roadmap towards high-speed Internet, developing human capacity and skills in ICT technologies, high- performance computing and more. The following countries have been identified as having high-performance computing facilities, some as a result of the Square Kilometre Array7 (SKA) partnership: Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia. More and more NRENs – especially the Level 6 NRENs 8 (Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, and recently Zambia) – are exploring offering additional services; also in support of data sharing and transfer. The following NRENs already allow for running data-intensive applications and sharing of high-end computing assets, bio-modelling and computation on high-performance/ supercomputers: KENET (Kenya), TENET (South Africa), RENU (Uganda), ZAMREN (Zambia), EUN (Egypt) and ARN (Algeria). Fifteen higher education training institutions from eight African countries (Botswana, Benin, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, and Tanzania) have been identified as offering formal courses on data science. In addition to formal degrees, a number of international short courses have been developed and free international online courses are also available as an option to build capacity and integrate as part of curricula. The small number of higher education or research intensive institutions offering data science is however insufficient, and there is a desperate need for more training in data science. The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science aim at addressing the continental need for foundational data skills across all disciplines, along with training conducted by The Carpentries 9 programme (specifically Data Carpentry 10 ). Thus far, CODATA-RDA schools in collaboration with AOSP, integrating content from Data Carpentry, were presented in Rwanda (in 2018), and during17-29 June 2019, in Ethiopia. Awareness regarding Open Science (including Open Data) is evident through the 12 Open Science-related Open Access/Open Data/Open Science declarations and agreements endorsed or signed by African governments; 200 Open Access journals from Africa registered on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); 174 Open Access institutional research repositories registered on openDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories); 33 Open Access/Open Science policies registered on ROARMAP (Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies); 24 data repositories registered with the Registry of Data Repositories (re3data.org) (although the pilot project identified 66 research data repositories); and one data repository assigned the CoreTrustSeal. Although this is a start, far more needs to be done to align African data curation and research practices with global standards. Funding to conduct research remains a challenge. African researchers mostly fund their own research, and there are little incentives for them to make their research and accompanying data sets openly accessible. Funding and peer recognition, along with an enabling research environment conducive for research, are regarded as major incentives. The landscape report concludes with a number of concerns towards sharing research data openly, as well as challenges in terms of Open Data policy, ICT infrastructure supportive of data sharing, capacity building, lack of skills, and the need for incentives. Although great progress has been made in terms of Open Science and Open Data practices, more awareness needs to be created and further advocacy efforts are required for buy-in from African governments. A federated African Open Science Platform (AOSP) will not only encourage more collaboration among researchers in addressing the SDGs, but it will also benefit the many stakeholders identified as part of the pilot phase. The time is now, for governments in Africa, to acknowledge the important role of science in general, but specifically Open Science and Open Data, through developing and aligning the relevant policies, investing in an ICT infrastructure conducive for data sharing through committing funding to making NRENs financially sustainable, incentivising open research practices by scientists, and creating opportunities for more scientists and stakeholders across all disciplines to be trained in data management.
