Simulation and Analysis of Multi-sluice Dam Channel Flow Evolution Based on MIKE11 by ZHANG Shixin, ZHANG Jing

“…Due to the influence of sluices,the flow propagation law of multi-sluice dam is complicated,which brings great difficulties to the forecast of river flow and water dispatching.In this paper,the river channel of Qipanshan Reservoir and Tuanjie Sluice of Puhe River is taken as the research object,and the river is divided into seven sections.On the basis of the MIKE11HD construction,the influence of multi-sluice dams on river flow evolution is analyzed,and the change of peak discharge travel time and flow attenuation in different sections is studied by the model.The results show that there is a significant power function relationship between the flood peak discharge and the travel time.As the flood peak discharge is larger,the travel time will be shorter.The attenuation rate per kilometer is related to the characteristics of the channel and the vegetation on both sides of the channel.Under the influence of artificial channelization,the discharge attenuation rate per kilometer is minimum in the sluice 7-sluice 6 section,and maximum in the section of the rubber dam on the sluice to Laoshiniu rubber dam.This study can provide a basis for the joint operation of multi-sluice dam in the ecological corridor of Puhe River,and also provide a reference for the flow simulation and flood forecast of other multi- sluice dam channels.…”

Design and implementation of high-speed scalar multiplier for multi-elliptic curve by Bin YU, Hai HUANG, Zhiwei LIU, Shilei ZHAO, Ning NA

“…Aiming at the problem that the existing scalar multiplier cannot be applied to multi-elliptic curve and the cost is expensive, a high-speed scalar multiplier was designed, applicable to two types of elliptic curves over prime fields.Firstly, in terms of the scalar multiplication, secp256r1 base points were processed with the comb algorithm, and the Shamir algorithm for ordinary points, and the Montgomery ladder algorithm for Curve25519.Secondly, the operation of point addition and point doubling was optimized, and the condition of Z=1 in point addition was simplified, thereby effectively reducing the number of calculation cycles.Lastly, a fast modular reduction algorithm of Curve25519 was designed for modular multiplication.Multiplexing was an important factor in the entire designing process.A 1022K equivalent gate was selected for the 55 nm CMOS process.This allowed ordinary point scalar multiplications performed on secp256r1 and Curve25519 respectively, calculating at the speeds of 153 000 times per second and 158 000 times per second, with the speed for secp256r1 1.9 times that of the existing designed one.…”
