PLENARY LECTURE
Broadband Communications from High Altitude Platforms
Professor Gorazd Kandus
Head of the Department of Communication Systems
Jozef Stefan Institute
Slovenia
Abstract: High Altitude Platforms (HAPs), physically positioned in the lower stratosphere at altitudes around 20 km, have recently been shown to have the potential to deliver a range of communications services. These include multimedia applications requiring broadband access to the network and make HAP based wireless access systems a potential supplement to terrestrial and satellite systems.
In this lecture, HAP-based systems are analysed with respect to terrestrial and satellite broadband wireless access systems. The most interesting services and applications are briefly introduced, followed by a discussion of the ITU-R spectrum allocation for HAP based systems. The main focus is on the alternative HAP system and network architectures, ranging from stand-alone platforms to multiple platform configurations which may include wireless and free space optical links. Operating scenario requirements and restrictions imposed by the type of the platform are also taken into account.

Computing Capillary-Dominated Fluid States and Stabilities
Professor Steven H. Collicott
School of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Purdue University
West Lafayette, IN 47907 USA
E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract: Capillary stability, critical wetting conditions, and the determination of the minimum-energy state among several possible solution topologies in capillary fluids problems all depend strongly on both the contact angle of the liquid on the solid and on an ability to solve for three-dimensional equilibrium free surfaces. Spaceflight, micro-scale devices that use, process, or analyze liquids, and human physiology are fields in which three-dimensional capillary-dominated fluids problems are important. Solution of such capillary fluids problems enables both research advances and the subsequent engineering necessary to create practical devices and systems. Topics drawn from a large collection of three-dimensional capillary fluids results beginning with the Gravity Probe-B spacecraft in 1993 and extending to code validation and present research are presented and discussed. Use of the unique Surface Evolver code of K. A. Brakke is the key to the research results that are discussed. The excellent contact angle, complex curvature, and volume conservation capabilities of the code are essential to the success of the research. Lessons from the 13 years of unique efforts in research and engineering are presented. Computation of capillary interfaces, stability, and critical wetting phenomena and the application of these results to on-orbit propellant gauging in satellites, occlusion of pulmonary passages by liquids, and the design of a low-gravity fluids experiment for space station are discussed.

Exact Variational Principles of 3-D
Unsteady
Navier-Stokes Equations
Professor Gao-Lian Liu
Institute of Appl. Mathematics & Mechanics,
Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, P.R. CHINA
E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract: As is well known, the search for exact variational principles (VP) for the full Navier-Stokes equations of 3-D unsteady viscous flow is an extremely difficult, still open problem in fluid mechanics due to the unsymmetry and nonlinearity of the differential operators in the N-S equations. In the present paper this problem is successfully solved for the first time by means of a systematic reversed deduction approach encompassing both Lagrange multipliers and a new undetermined function suggested recently by the present author. It is shown that although the existence of primary VP{i.e.VP in terms of the primary (primitive) variables , p} is ruled out by the Vainberg’s theorem [B.A.Finlayson, Phys.Fluids, 1972,15: 963-967], it is, nevertheless, owing to the introduction of the undetermined function that we still possible instead to establish VP of alternative types: mixed VP {i.e.VP in terms of some primary variables and some adjoint(dual)variables} and/or dual VP{i.e.VP in terms of dual variables}. It is well known that duality is one of the most fundamental, well-developed and very useful concepts and tools in mathematics and plays a particularly important role in optimization and optimal control theory. Such a primary/dual program approach is quite commonly employed in linear and nonlinear programming theory, where the dual program is preferred to use if it is simpler to solve than the primary one. As a result, two families of mixed VP and dual VP are established herein for the 3-D unsteady N-S equations. In this way, a new rigorous theoretical basis for the analysis of 3-D unsteady viscous flow by the finite element method or by the variational difference method, especially for the direct numerical simulation (DNS)of turbulent flow, is founded.

Environmental Concerns with the Evolution of
Gasoline Additives

Department of Environmental Engineering

E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract: This lecture addressed the evolution of gasoline additives and their potentially imposing environmental impacts. Alkyl lead additives were first used to put in gasoline to prevent knocking of the engine; however their continual use was banned later because of the resulting air pollution from vehicle exhaust. Since the late 1970s, methyl tertiary butyl ester (MTBE, C5H12O) has replaced alkyl lead additives as the most widely used gasoline additive for maintaining the adequate octane rating. Although the use of MTBE in reformulated gasoline has brought about remarkable improvements on air quality in many urban areas, MTBE appears to have imposed significant adverse impacts on groundwater supply. Besides of pre-blended MTBE in gasoline, gasoline additive products were broadly applied for improving vehicle performance or solving specific problems. The use of most gasoline additive products was able to reduce the emissions of regulated pollutants including CO, HC, and NOx. Some gasoline additive products was found to impose more emissions of metal oxides, aromatics (such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene), or aldehydes to the environment. As the energy source was shifting to biofuel, new formulated additive needs to be developed for meeting the demands of high combustion efficiency and low exhaust emission.

Abstract: “What optimal performance can a PEM fuel cell reach?” Finding answers to this enduring question is an essential step for continuous improvement in the fuel cell design method. In this lecture, a brief review of the inverse theory is firstly given, and then the status of the recent researches of the experimental methods and the modeling concerning the transport phenomena in the PEM fuel cell is addressed. Based on these physical models the effects of different types of flow field, geometrical and physical variables, and operational parameters are evaluated. Meanwhile, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics code, which is executed on a personal-computer cluster based on parallel computation algorithm and capable of simulating the transient, three-dimensional electrochemical and transport process taking place in the PEM fuel cells, has been developed. An optimization approach is constructed by combining the developed physical models with the inverse heat transfer theory plus a grid generator. The results obtained by the optimization approach help us identify these influential parameters, elucidate the basic physical mechanisms for the optimal design, and facilitate the iterative modification process starting from an initial conceptual design.

Abstract: The underlying principle of micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) and polyelectrolyte-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) is to increase the size of target metal ions by fixing them to larger surfactant and polyelectrolytes so they can be retained by an ultrafiltration membrane. Continuous diafiltration experiments were performed to study the binding characteristics, such as binding isotherms, association constant (Ka) with corresponding binding sites (n), of surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and polyelectrolyte (poly (styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium, PSSM) to four heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb), individually and collectively. These parameters are useful in designing an efficient MEUF or PEUF system. The results showed that zinc exhibited the strongest binding to SDS when present individually, as well as collectively, at pH 6, whereas lead showed the strongest binding when present at pH 3 in the mixture.molar. The binding ratio, r, of PSSM to Cu2+ was the largest whether in individual or in collective metal solutions. There are two types of binding characteristics for SDS and PSSM to Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+. The higher the r of SDS and PSSM to metals, the larger the n1 is. The Ka1 of four metals are apparently larger than Ka2 in metal mixture.
