    • Inglés
    One of the most important goals in sustainable energy management is the design of new energy storage materials capable of increasing battery performance, durability, and at the same time, taking up the global challenge of increasing the energy saving capabilities through sustainable solutions. Atomistic design has experienced a tremendous boost in the last two decades thanks to the implementation and application of quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics-based approaches coupled, very recently, to artificial intelligent/machine learning algorithms. Such methods pave the way for the discovery and design of new materials for energy storage technologies. Computational Modelling Approaches to Energy Storage Materials: Operating Mechanisms, State-of-the-Art Methods, and Applications to the Atomistic Modelling of Batteries and Capacitors demonstrates how theoretical and computational chemistry methods can be applied in describing and predicting the properties of energy storage materials. Part I of the book introduces the reader to this heterogeneous topic, providing a general overview of the different types of batteries and capacitors, highlighting (from both historical and mechanistic points of view) the physical and operating principles of such systems. Part II contains the methodological core of the book, in terms of theoretical and computational methods. Most existing books includes a similar section where the formalisms of different methods are given, such as by explaining the theoretical concepts. Although this approach is certainly valid, this book goes a step further by giving more relevance to the computational side. Part III concerns the application of the methods described in Part II (as standalones or as a combination of those methods) to study mechanisms, processes, properties, and working principles of several energy storage systems, all based on the initial description in Part I. Computational Modelling Approaches to Energy Storage Materials is written primarily for chemists, physicists and materials scientists at graduate, post-doc, and researcher level (with both theory and experimental background), wishing to apply computational methods to model the complexity of energy storage materials. The book will be highly relevant to researchers interested in applying different atomistic methods to the topic of energy materials, as well as specialists across the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science, and related engineering areas who require a better understanding of materials modelling.

    • Inglés
    The age and stratigraphic division of the Wufeng Shale has buried an unresolved issue in the Chinese geological community for a long time since its birth. A paper "On the Wufeng Shale" was published in 1954 (Mu, 1954) with a reliable conclusion obtained that the Wufeng Formation belongs to the Upper Ordovician.There are too much insignificant species or subspecies and many wrong identification in the monograph “Upper Ordovician Graptolites of Central China Region” (Mu et al., 1993). It makes confusion of age duration of the Wufengian species. This is the one of reasons for the need to restudy the Wufengian graptolites.In the past two decades, two black shales, the Wufeng Formation (uppermost Ordovician) and the Lungmachi Formation (lower Silurian) in the Yangtze Region have become important shale gas production horizons. Among them, the division and precise comparison of graptolite biozones is an important basis for downhole determination and comparison of shale gas sweet spots. This requires the accuracy and recognized graptolite classification. This is the other one of most important reasons for restudying the Wufengian graptolites.Since 1990s of last century, a large number of Ordovician graptolites, including Wufengian graptolites have been collected for the research on the global boundary stratification of the Ordovician stages in South China. Recently some better preserved graptolite specimens, in particular a few three-dimensional graptolite specimens, have been obtained from Shuibatang section in Guizou. It provided a good opportunity for restudying the Wufengian graptolites. In this book, all the Wufengian graptolites in South China are restudied and revised, in order to clarify their morphological characteristics, systematic classification, temporal and spatial distribution, and evolutionary significance.

  • Large-Scale Control of Wall Turbulence

    • 1 Edición
    • Jie Yao + 1 más
    • Inglés
    Large-Scale Control of Wall Turbulence synthesizes and interprets research on large scale drag control. In particular, the book looks at the underlying, physical mechanisms of large-scale control, especially focusing on an investigation of coherent structures and the statistical approach through momentum flux and energy flux. In the presence of a solid wall, the flow, and thus turbulence, is directly influenced. As reduction of wall turbulence is of great significance for energy saving and environmental protection, this book provides the latest information on a variety of key considerations.Numer... drag control strategies have been proposed and explored during recent decades, the vast majority of which concentrate on near-wall coherent structures, which can result in significant drag reductions at low Reynolds numbers. However, whether these drag control methods can continue to be effective at high Reynolds numbers remains unresolved. This question is crucial because the flow physics involved in drag reduction changes at high Reynolds numbers (because the contribution of large-scale structures to the skin friction grows with the Reynolds number).
