In this paper, the relation between synchronization and control of chaotic nodes connected through a time–varying network is discussed. In particular, the effects of pinning control on a set of moving chaotic agents are investigated showing that the role of system parameters, like agent density, is critical in order to reach the synchronous behavior and also to control the whole network by pinn...

In this paper we explore how precisely the magnetic up/down symmetry must be controlled to insure sharing of edge localized mode (ELM) heat flux between upper and lower diverters in a double-null tokamak. We show for DIH-D, using infrared thermography, that the spatial distribution of Type-I ELM energy is less strongly affected by variations in magnetic geometry than is the time-averaged peak h...

[1] A large‐eddy simulation (LES) code is coupled with a land surface model to investigate the diurnal variation of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The diurnal evolution of the ABL is driven by a time‐varying incoming solar radiation. The results show that the domain average surface fluxes of sensible heat, water vapor, and carbon dioxide are smooth functions of time but the fluxes at any...

The inverse modeling of heat transfer involves the estimation of boundary conditions from the knowledge of thermal history inside a heat conducting body. Inverse analysis is extremely useful in modeling of contact heat transfer at interfaces of engineering surfaces during materials processing. In the present work, the one-dimensional transient heat conduction equation was inversely modeled in b...

fire behavior of different types of eps was evaluated with the use of iso 5660 cone calorimeter test method. considering the complexity of behavior of eps against high temperatures, several specimens were tested, so a betterjudgment on fire behavior of this material could be acquired. the effects of foam density, thickness of specimens and the level of heat flux on fire behavior of foam were ex...

People experiences heat propagation since ancient times. The mathematical foundations of this phenomenon were established nearly two centuries ago with the early works of Fourier [Fourier, 1952]. During this time the equations describing the conduction of heat in solids have proved to be powerful tools for analyzing not only the transfer of heat, but also an enormous array of diffusion-like pro...

in the nighttime, drainage flow occurs along the basin sideslope and advects cold air to the boundary layer over the basin bottom (bbl), intensifying the cooling rate of the layer. a nocturnal cold air lake develops in the basin, attaining a depth nearly equal to the topographical depth of the basin. heat budget analysis of the whole basin surface shows that net radiative flux closely balances ...

An investigation of sensible and latent heat fluxes and their relation to synoptic weather events was performed using hourly meteorological measurements from National Data Buoy Center buoy 45003, located in northern Lake Huron, during April–November of 1984. Two temporal heat flux regimes were found to exist over Lake Huron. The first period extended from April through July and was characterize...

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the laser-TIG hybrid welding (HLAW) of stainless steel 1.4418 with thickness of 4 mm. Transient temperature profile and dimensions of the fusion zone and heat affected zone (HAZ) during welding process are calculatedusing finite element method (FEM) and were solved in the ABAQUS/Standard software.The heat sou...
