The experimental data of core flow distribution are indispensable for obtaining licensing and facilitating the design fluid systems nuclear reactors. In this study, an Advanced power reactor Core Pressure (ACOP) test facility was established to experimentally simulate internal Power Reactor 1000 (APR1000) on a reduced length scale 1/5. region simulated by using 177 simulators representing fuel assemblies APR1000. APR1000 distributions were synthetically identified accurately measured...

We present results of the development and application extremizing feedback control to high-speed high Reynolds number axisymmetric jets. In particular, we demonstrate authority on near-field pressure a Mach 0.9 jet with based diameter 7.8 ◊ 10 5 . Open-loop forcing experiments are presented wherein localized arc filament plasma actuators shown have two distinct effects pressure, similar their effect far-field acoustics reported earlier. At low Strouhal numbers (StDF’s) near column mode...

An adaptive control system using extremum-seeking optimization is developed to suppress subsonic cavity ∞ow oscillations. The overall by following two steps. First, a simple linear law which uses measurements of wall pressure ∞uctuations at difierent locations in the developed, and efiect on magnitude limit cycle produced tuning its parameters, namely gain K phase shift `, investigated analytically experimentally. Then, an algorithm implemented optimize selection most critical parameter,...

This paper presents an algorithm to reconstruct temporally consistent 3D meshes of deformable object instances from videos in the wild. Without requiring annotations mesh, 2D keypoints, or camera pose for each video frame, we video-based reconstruction as a self-supervised online adaptation problem applied any incoming test video. We first learn category-specific model collection single-view images same category that jointly predicts shape, texture, and image. Then, at inference time, adapt...
