Reynolds number effects on scalar dissipation rate transport and its modeling in turbulent premixed combustion

The effects of turbulent Reynolds number, Ret, on the transport of scalar dissipation rate of reaction progress variable in the context of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes simulations have been analyzed using three-dimensional simplified chemistry-based direct numerical simulation (DNS) data of freely propagating turbulent premixed flames with different values of Ret. Scaling arguments have been used to explain the effects of Ret on the turbulent transport, scalar-turbulence interaction, and the combined reaction and molecular dissipation terms. Suitable modifications to the models for these terms have been proposed to account for Ret effects, and the model parameters include explicit Ret dependence. These expressions approach expected asymptotic limits for large values of Ret. However, turbulent Reynolds number Ret does not seem to have any major effects on the modeling of the term arising from density variation. Copyright © Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

人工四倍体鲤鲫的产生

在人工诱导的复合三倍体鲤鱼成熟个体中有极个别个体产出的卵既保留了原有的3套染色体,又能与一套外来精核融合产生四倍体。1997年人工产生的8000多尾鲤鲫四倍体鱼经细胞遗传学研究分析鉴定,结果所有的个体都有4套染色体组,染色体数目在185～210之间,众数为200,四倍体比率为100％。这表明人工复合三倍体鲤鱼的生殖方式十分独特,绝大部分个体的成熟卵可借助于外来精子的激动进行自然雌核发育;而有极个别个体的成熟卵能与外来精子融合产生四倍体个体。四倍体鲤鲫的形态特征像鲫鱼。
