Large‐scale system identification using self‐adaptive penguin search algorithm

open access: yesIET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 17, Issue 17, Page 2292-2303, November 2023., 2023
This research addresses the non‐linear large‐scale system identification problem under the consideration of two systems: bilinear system and Volterra system as the large‐scale system identification. This work proposes a novel algorithm, called Self Adaptive Penguin Search Optimization (SAPeSO), to attain the system characteristics properly and minimize

Alleviated WRF Summer Wet Bias Over the Tibetan Plateau Using a New Cloud Macrophysics Scheme

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Reliable precipitation simulation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) remains a challenge, manifested by a prominent systematic wet bias in the warm season. Previous studies have generally neglected the potential linkage between surface radiation energy budget and precipitation bias.

Identification of nonregular indication according to change of grain size/surface geometry in nuclear power plant (NPP) reactor vessel (RV)-upper head alloy 690 penetration

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2017
During the fabrication process of reactor vessel head penetration (RVHP), the grain size of the tube material can be changed by hot or cold work and the inner side of the tube can also be shrunk due to welding outside of the tube. Several nonregular time-

Overview of the Application of Orographic Data in Numerical Weather Prediction in Complex Orographic Areas

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Complex orography is still a big challenge for all numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Orography is an important factor that affects the NWP results. The orography in NWP mainly affects the main accuracy of the results through two aspects: orographic representation in models dynamics and orography‐related parameterization schemes in the physical

Development of HOIS guidance for ultrasonic NDT for non-intrusive inspection at elevated temperatures

open access: yese-Journal of Nondestructive Testing, 2023
The non-intrusive inspection (NII) of pressure vessels using external in-service ultrasonic NDT has multiple advantages compared to internal visual inspection, including the significant reduction of down-time related costs and safety benefits from ...

Assessments of Weather Research and Forecasting Land Surface Models in Precipitation Simulation Over the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Precipitation is a key hydrometeorological variable for understanding surface energy partitioning and water budget over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). A substantial proportion of summer precipitation falls as rain. The effects of different land surface models (LSMs) on the TP’s precipitation and their inner mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, the
