  • Publication number: 20240169020
    Abstract: A wind field interpolation simulation method based on isogeometric sampling, the main steps of generating a wind speed time series in the present invention are as follows: first, inputting basic parameters of wind field simulation and the number of initial sampling points, and selecting the sampling points by an isogeometric sampling method. Then calculating the maximum relative error of all frequency bands by a relative error defined, and judging a fitting error and an allowable error given. If the fitting error is greater than the allowable error, increasing the number of sampling points and reselecting the sampling points; if the fitting error is less than or equal to the allowable error, finishing point selection, and using an interpolation function to calculate a lower triangular matrix required by the simulation. Thus a fluctuating wind field can be generated by a harmonic superposition method.

  • Patent number: 8225641
    Abstract: A self-cleaning humidity sensor based on Mg2+/Na+-doped TiO2 nanofiber mats is provided. Examples show the response and recovery characteristic curves for ten circles with the RH changing from 11% to 95%. The nanofibers are manufactured by mixing together a metal salt comprising titanium, a magnesium compound, a sodium compound, and a high molecular weight material to form a mixture, electrospinning the mixture to form composite nanofibers, and calcining the composite nanofibers to yield a TiO2 nanofiber material doped with magnesium and sodium.
