    Abstract The inadequacy of the existing research in characterizing the atomization performance of the whole atomization field by the local region at nozzle axis hinders the improvement of dust removal performance of a spray system, especially for fan-shaped nozzles with large atomization angle. To solve this inadequacy, 88 measuring points were designed in this study to reveal the spatial distribution characteristics of atomization parameters of a fan-shaped pressure atomization nozzle using a 3D Fiber Phase-Doppler Anemometer. Moreover, the atomization performance and dust removal performance of the whole atomization field under different spray pressures were characterized. The results showed that the spatial distribution of atomization parameters in the axis and radial direction of the nozzle was inhomogeneous. As the axial distance from the nozzle outlet increased, the average droplet size showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, the proportion of the droplet of 15-70 μm showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, while the average droplet velocity and droplet flux showed a decreasing trend. In addition, the spray orientation was perpendicular to gravity, and the atomization field was parallel to gravity, resulting in a significant difference in the average droplet size between the upper region and the axis. Compared with the upper and lower regions, the atomization effect at the axis was superior, manifested by higher average droplet velocity and droplet flux, indicating that characterizing nozzle atomization performance with atomization parameters at the axis will lead to overestimation. The increase of spray pressure can improve atomization performance and dust removal efficiency to a certain extent, but the improvement effect had a limit. The atomization field can be divided into atomization region, expansion region and contraction region, and the expansion region was considered as an effective dust removal region. These findings provide reference for the design and operation of a spray system.

    Abstract We propose a reliable scheme for one-step synthesizing of a quantum fan-out gate in a system of neutral atoms. By introducing the off-resonant driving fields with Gaussian temporal modulation, the dynamics of the system is strictly restricted to the ground-state subspace on the basis of unconventional Rydberg pumping, which exhibits more robustness than the constant driving method against the fluctuation of system parameters, such as operating time and environment noise. As a direct application of this quantum fan-out gate, we discuss in detail the preparation of multipartite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state for neutral atoms. The result shows that a high fidelity better than 99% can be obtained within the state-of-the-art experiments.

    Abstract Groundwater of alluvial fan plains is the foremost water source, especially in arid/semiarid regions. Its contaminants are big issues for water supply and public health concern. To reveal the groundwater chemistry, contaminants sources and health threats in alluvial aquifers, 81 groundwaters were collected from a typical alluvial fan plain of northern China for nitrogen, fluoride and major ions analysis. Statistical analysis and hydrochemical diagrams as well as human health risk assessment were performed. Nitrate is widely distributed and 53% of groundwaters exceed the permissible limit with the maximum concentration up to 326 mg/L. The distributions of nitrite, ammonia and fluoride contaminants are sporadic in spatial, and the concentrations of fluoride in groundwaters are slightly beyond the permissible limit of 1 mg/L.

    Abstract In this study, the surface water balance method was used to calculate the interaction between surface water and groundwater (SGW) in the Taoer River alluvial fan in Jilin Province, China, from 1956 to 2014. The automatic linear model was used to determine the key and non-key influencing factors, and correlation analysis was performed to evaluate their relationship with one another. River runoff and groundwater level were the key factors affecting the SGW interaction, and sand–gravel exposure in the fan was more conducive to SGW interaction. There was a positive correlation between runoff and SGW interaction, and the relationship between the groundwater and surface water levels was correlated and affected by groundwater exploitation and groundwater runoff. Groundwater exploitation and evaporation and precipitation indirectly influenced the SGW interaction by affecting the groundwater level and river runoff key factors, respectively, and were considered non-key factors. HIGHLIGHTS The annual and monthly interactions of the Taoer River alluvial fan were calculated from 1956 to 2014.; They are influencing factors of the interaction between surface water and groundwater (SGW).; The influencing factors of SGW transformation are analyzed and classified.; The stability factor affecting SGW interaction is riverbed lithology.; The key factors affecting SGW interaction are river runoff and groundwater level.;

    Abstract Groundwater of alluvial fan plains is the foremost water source, especially in arid/semiarid regions. Its contaminants are big issues for water supply and public health concern. To reveal the groundwater chemistry, contaminants sources and health threats in alluvial aquifers, 81 groundwaters were collected from a typical alluvial fan plain of northern China for nitrogen, fluoride and major ions analysis. Statistical analysis and hydrochemical diagrams as well as human health risk assessment were performed. Nitrate is widely distributed and 53% of groundwaters exceed the permissible limit with the maximum concentration up to 326 mg/L. The distributions of nitrite, ammonia and fluoride contaminants are sporadic in spatial, and the concentrations of fluoride in groundwaters are slightly beyond the permissible limit of 1 mg/L. The hydrochemical facies shift from HCO₃-Ca or Mixed HCO₃-Na·Ca type to Mixed Cl-Mg·Ca and ClCa type with the increase of nitrate content. Two factors (Factor-1 and Factor-2) are extracted by factor analysis and account 63% of the total variances. The positive loading of F⁻ and negative loading of NO₃⁻ on Factor-2 reveal geogenic and anthropogenic origins, respectively. The significant positive loadings of TDS, TH, SO₄²⁻, Cl⁻, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ on Factor-1 reveal the governing mechanisms on groundwater chemistry by intermixed sources of geogenic origins and anthropogenic inputs. Hydrogeochemical evolution in the study area is driven by both water-rock interaction and anthropogenic forces. Anthropogenic inputs/influences are the dominated forces increasing groundwater nitrate content and salinity in the piedmont zone and the residential and industrial zone of the southeastern lower parts, and would pose potential non-carcinogenic risks to various populations via oral intake pathway. Rational measures should be taken to protect groundwater quality out of the threats of anthropogenic pollution. The geogenic fluoride in groundwater would threat the health of children through oral pathway and should be also concerned.The driving forces of groundwater chemistry in alluvial fan plains were revealed using integrated approach of factor analysis and geostatistical modelling.

    Abstract Alluvial fan deposits are identified as evidence of regional climatic variations and tectonic events; therefore, it is crucial to establish absolute time series by dating alluvial fan deposits. Limited exposure to light poses a challenge to accurately estimating the buried ages for alluvial deposits with optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). This challenge has been positively developed by controlling the number of grains on each disk to measure and choosing suitable statistical models for the equivalence dose (De) distribution to analyze. In this research, three modern alluvial samples and one modern loess-like sample were collected from the Dashuigou alluvial fan of Helan Mountain, China. The De distributions of these four samples were studied by the application of small aliquots (1-, 3-, and 5-mm aliquots) of quartz OSL with the average dose model, central age model, unlogged minimum age model (MAM), lowest 5%, internal/external consistency criterion minimum age model (IEU), and finite mixture model. It is concluded that an overestimation of De lower than 1 Gy can be obtained using quartz OSL dating of 1-mm aliquots (∼50 grains) with MAM and IEU for the alluvial sediments. The lowest 5% method may underestimate the De values of the 1-mm aliquots for young samples. This research makes the dose dependency of aliquot sizes and age models more definite and opens up the possibility of dating paleoalluvial deposits to establish a chronological framework to decipher the implications of paleoclimates and tectonics.

    Abstract The performance of low-pressure axial flow fans is directly affected by the three-dimensional bending and twisting of the blades. A new blade design method is adopted in this work, where the radial distribution of blade angle and blade bending angle is composed of standard-form rational quadratic Bézier curves. Dendrite Net is then trained to predict the pneumatic performance of the fan. A non dominated sorting genetic algorithm is employed to solve the global optimization problem of the total pressure coefficient and efficiency. The simulation results show that the optimal blade load distribution along the radial direction becomes uniform, and the suction surface separation vortex and passage vortex are restrained. On the other hand, the tip leakage vortex is enhanced and moves toward the blade leading edge. According to the experimental results, the maximum efficiency increases by 5.44%, and the maximum total pressure coefficient increases by 2.47% after optimization.

    Abstract With the development of modern cities, the demand for cleaning glass curtain walls in urban skyscrapers is increasing, and therefore, many researches on facade cleaning robots have been carried out in the past few decades. In this article, a novel type of facade cleaning robot based on four-ducted fan is proposed. To improve the load capacity of the robot, the lifting and horizontal movement are, respectively, supported by an independent lifting mechanism and a lateral movement mechanism. Unlike the previous passive and active suction, the powerful suction power of the robot is provided by the four-ducted fan. Meanwhile, the obstacle-climbing force is caused by the forward of the four-ducted fan that improves the crossing obstacle ability. In addition, an incremental sliding mode algorithm is applied for controlling the posture when the robot crosses obstacles, which can ensure the stable performance of the cleaning robot under disturbance. Some simulations and experiments are conducted and the results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the designed facade cleaning robot.
