Structure Design of the Force Testing Central Support of a Transonic and Supersonic Wind Tunnel by Dong Bin, Zhou Xiaogang, Wang Tao, Fan Changhai

“…The force testing central support is an important part of the model supporting system in a transonic & supersonic wind tunnel,the performance of which is qualified or not would directly affect the control of model attitude angel during wind tunnel tests.First,aiming at the problem that the roll angle backlash is oversized during force tests,the self-locking dual lead cylindrical worm transmission is applied to the force testing central support to solve this problem.Meanwhile,considering that the aerodynamic load is heavy,the slider and the bulging joining sleeve are both used to share the load.Then,the static structural strength of the worm transmission are checked,and at the same time,the finite element analysis is carried out to study the stress and deformation both in the sustaining body and the chief axis.Finally,the calibration model tests for the new force testing central support in comparison with the former one are conducted.Results indicate that the structural design is reasonable,the data presented a good correlation,and the design of the new force testing support is successful for wind tunnel tests.…”

Research on Flood Forecasting Based on Double-excess Model by HU Xinwei, ZHANG Yu, ZHU Xueping, ZHAO Xuehua

“…In order to conduct the flood forecasting research of small watershed in the control basin of Lengkou hydrological station,this paper firstly process the digital elevation model (DEM) of the study area;calculates the area weight of the sub-basin by Thiessen polygon method,the runoff yield by the double-excess flow model,the overland flow through the Nash instantaneous unit line method and the flood in river course by SWAI₁,and establishes the double-excess flood forecasting model;analyzes the sensitivity of model parameters with LH-OAT method;and calibrates and verifies the model parameters for 25 historical floods with different flood levels.The simulation results reach grade B forecast precision in the period of calibration and verification,so the simulation effect is good.The research results can provide reliable reference for hydrological forecast,flood control and disaster reduction,and enrich the research experience of flood forecasting in semi-arid and semi-humid areas.…”
