A Unified Switched Nonlinear Dynamic Model Of An Electric Vehicle For Performance Evaluation, Dibyendu Khan, Kuntal Mandal, Anjan Kumar Ray, Abdelali El Aroudi

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

The advanced modeling and estimation of overall system dynamics play a vital role in electric vehicles (EVs), as the selection of components in the powertrain and prediction of performance are the key market qualifiers. The state-space averaged model and small-signal transfer function model are useful for assessing long-term behavior in system-level analysis and for designing the controller parameters, respectively. Both models take less computation time but ignore the high-frequency switching dynamics. Therefore, these two models could be impractical for the development and testing of EV prototypes. On the other hand, the multi-domain model in available simulation tools gives in-depth information …

Assessing The Performance Of Exchange-Correlation Functionals On Lattice Constants Of Binary Solids At Room Temperature Within The Quasiharmonic Approximation, Xiaofei Shao, Peitao Liu, Cesare Franchini, Yi Xia, Jiangang He

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

The exchange-correlation functional is at the core of density functional theory (DFT) and determines the accuracy of DFT in describing the interactions among electrons/ions in solids and molecules. The strongly constrained and appropriately normed functional (SCAN) and its derivatives, regularized SCAN (rSCAN) and regularized-restored SCAN (r2SCAN), are particularly promising due to their remarkable overall accuracy in the description of various properties while retaining a high computational efficiency as compared to hybrid functionals. However, an exhaustive assessment on the performance of these functionals in predicting the finite-temperature lattice constant of solids is still lacking. Here, we systematically study the room-temperature lattice …

Michigan Tech Publications

Over a century ago, copper mills on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Lake Superior sluiced 64 million metric tonnes (MMT) of tailings into coastal waters, creating a metal-rich “halo”. Here we show that relatively small discharges can spread widely in time and space. Mass Mill (2.9 MMT) dumping into Lake Superior also illustrates the complexity of interactions with Indigenous Peoples. A combination of aerial photos, LiDAR, and a microscope technique for distinguishing end-member particles traces the migration of tailings. The clay fraction spread rapidly across Keweenaw Bay and curled into terminal L’Anse Bay, within tribal Reservation boundaries. The coarse stamp sand …

Bound Preserving Numerical Methods For Infiltration, Arnob Barua Jul 2023

Bound Preserving Numerical Methods For Infiltration, Arnob Barua

LSU Master's Theses

Simulating the infiltration process in variably saturated media by solving Richards' Equation (RE) remains a computationally challenging task. The degenerate parabolic nature of RE, along with the strongly nonlinear coefficients, makes it very difficult to obtain accurate solutions with conventional numerical methods unless highly refined meshes are used. That is, in the conventional Finite Element Method (FEM), the grid size has to be fine enough to ensure convergence and limit non-physical oscillations, which is computationally expensive. This research aims to develop a second-order accurate FEM discretization with no non-physical oscillations for RE on unstructured meshes which will converge faster than …

Compensation Of Seeding Bias For Particle Tracking Velocimetry In Turbulent Flows, Thomas Barois, Bianca Viggiano, Thomas Basset, Raúl Bayoán Cal, Romain Volk, Mathieu Gibert, Mickael Bourgoin Jul 2023

Compensation Of Seeding Bias For Particle Tracking Velocimetry In Turbulent Flows, Thomas Barois, Bianca Viggiano, Thomas Basset, Raúl Bayoán Cal, Romain Volk, Mathieu Gibert, Mickael Bourgoin

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

When a fluid in turbulent motion is tagged by a nonuniform concentration of ideal tracers, the mean velocity of the tracers may not match with the mean velocity of the fluid flow. This implies that conventional particle tracking velocimetry will not produce the mean flow of a turbulent flow unless the particle seeding is homogeneous. In this work, we consider the problem of mean flow estimation from a set of particle tracks obtained in a situation of nonhomogeneous seeding. To compensate the bias caused by the nonhomogeneous particle seeding, we propose a modified particle tracking velocimetry method. This method is …
