Abstract Minin-induced water inrush from a confined aquifer due to subsided floor karst collapse column (SKCC) is a type of serious disaster in the underground coal extraction. Karst collapse column (KCC) developed in a confined aquifer occurs widely throughout northern China. A water inrush disaster from SKCC occurred in Taoyuan coal mine on February 3, 2013. In order to analyze the effect of the KCC influence zone’s (KCCIZ) width and the entry driving distance of the water inrush through the fractured channels of the SKCC, the stress, seepage, and impact dynamics coupling equations were used to model the seepage rule, and… More >

Abstract Low-dimensional semiconductor structures such as nanofilms and nanowires have stimulated considerable interest due to their potential applications in nanoelectronic or nanomechanical devices. In this presentation, the effects of pre-stress field and surface stress on the phonon and thermal/electrical properties for semiconductor nanostructures are investigated theoretically. The continuum elastic model is employed to calculate the spatially confined phonon properties. The acoustoelastic effects and surface energy effects are taken into account in calculating the phonon properties of nanostructures. Since the thermal and electric properties are associated with phonon properties of semiconductors, the phonon thermal conductivity, electron-acoustic phonon scattering rate and the carrier… More >

Abstract A computational framework is established for effective modelling of fluid-thermal-particle interactions. The numerical procedures comprise the Discrete Element Method for simulating particle dynamics; the Lattice Boltzmann Method for modelling the mass and velocity field of the fluid flow; and the Discrete Thermal Element Method and the Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method for solving the temperature field. The coupling of the three fields is realised through hydrodynamic interaction force terms. Selected numerical examples are provided to illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach. More >
