Functional Tungsten-based thin films and their characterization
Košelová, Zuzana; Horáková, L.; Sobola, Dinara; Burda, Daniel; Knápek, Alexandr; Fohlerová, Z.
2024 - English
Anodizing is a technique by which thin oxide layers can be formed on a surface. Thin oxide layers have been found to be useful in a variety of applications, including emitters of electrons. Tungsten is still a common choice for cold field emitters in commercial microscopy applications. Its suitable quality can be further improved by thin film deposition. Not only the emission characteristic can be improved, but also the emitter operating time can be extended. Tungsten oxide is known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical attack due to its stable crystal structure and strong chemical bonds between tungsten and oxygen atoms. Many techniques with different advantages and disadvantages have been used for this purpose. Anodization was chosen for this work because of the controllable uniform coverage of the material and its easy availability without the need for expensive complex equipment. The anodizing process involves applying an electrical potential to tungsten while it is immersed in an electrolyte solution. This creates a thin layer of tungsten oxide on the surface of the metal. The thickness and properties of the resulting oxide layer can be controlled by adjusting the anodization conditions, such as the electrolyte solution, voltage, and the duration of the process. In this work, H3PO4 was used as the electrolyte to test whether these tungsten oxide layers would be useful for electron emitters, for use in electron guns and other devices that require high-quality electron emitters. The properties were evaluated using appropriate techniques. In general, anodization of tungsten to form thin layers of tungsten oxide layers is a promising technique for producing high quality electron emitters.

Termografie rozšiřuje portfolia metod, jimiž lze studovat vlastnosti objektů okolního světa. Ještě před deseti lety byla tato technologie kvůli potenciálním vojenským aplikacím úzkostlivě kontrolována, což omezovalo konkurenci v nabídce výrobků a výrobců a vedlo k vysokým cenám zařízení založených na těchto principech. Teprve díky uvolnění této kontroly došlo k rozmachu výroby a zpřístupnění zjednodušených výrobků masovému využití, takže si dnes může zákazník například pořídit chytrý telefon s doplňkovým termografickým modulem jen s malým navýšením ceny. Spolu s dostupností zařízení pozorujeme nárůst uplatnění termografie v mnoha oblastech, včetně průzkumů staveb a památek. Thermography expands the portfolio of methods that can be used to study the properties of objects in the surrounding world. As recently as a decade ago, the technology was frowned upon for potential military applications controlled, which limited competition in the offer of products and manufacturers and led to high prices of devices based on these principles. It was only thanks to the release of this control that it happened to expand production and make simplified products available to mass use, so get it today for example, a customer can purchase a smartphone with an additional thermographic module for only with a small price increase. Together with the availability of equipment, we observe an increase in the application of thermography in many areas, including surveys of buildings and monuments.

Flow simulations approach for flocculation tanks
Idžakovičová, Kristýna; Bílek, Vojtěch; Haidl, Jan; Isoz, M.; Pivokonský, Martin
2024 - English
Flocculation in water treatment facilities plays a key role in the separation of colloidal inorganic and organic substances. Its optimization leads to a significant increase in its efficiency and savings of operational costs. However, it is currently based on trial-and-error experimental approaches. In this contribution, we focus on flow modeling in stirred flocculation tanks that would, after coupling with a calibrated model of particle aggregation, enable simulationbased flocculation optimization. Despite the abundance of literature on stirred tank modeling, there is no universal agreement on the methodology used to describe turbulence nor on the approach to the computational mesh creation. Consequently, there is no unified methodology for simulations and their validation. To address this, we present a best-practice methodology for economical, yet reliable flow simulations in the said device. This methodology includes the choice of the turbulence model, the approach to the design of a high quality mesh suitable for arbitrary geometries, and results evaluation. It is developed based on an extensive literature review, a multitude of flow simulations using several meshes of progressively higher quality and resolution, and various strategies to converge to steady-state flow conditions. The simulation quality indicators used here involve comparison with the experimental data on fluid velocity, stirrer power output, and flow rate through the impeller zone. Additionally, the resulting flow simulation models are compared using tracer transport simulations, hinting at their potential for coupling with particle aggregation models.

Palingeneze - obnovení všeho? (Matouš 19,28)
Dus, Jan A
2024 - Czech
V Matoušově verzi Ježíšova zaslíbení (Mt 19,28–30) oproti Markovi a Lukášovi chybí výslovná zmínka o přítomnosti: restituce všeho, co Ježíšovi následovníci opustili, se tak posouvá až do budoucnosti, ve které se chopí vlády spolu se Synem člověka. V zaslíbení figuruje raritní pojem „palingeneze“, jehož bližší časové a věcné určení nelze ze samotného souvětí odvodit. Zatímco v Mt 19,28 je palingeneze podle převažujícího výkladu synonymem pro budoucí obnovu veškerenstva, v Tt 3,5 (jediný další výskyt v NZ) odkazuje totéž slovo na znovuzrození některých lidí, ke kterému došlo v minulosti (při křtu). Ani nebiblická literatura nepřináší jednoznačný precedens – palingeneze bývá zasazována jak do minulosti, tak i do budoucnosti, týká se jak světa, tak i jednotlivců či skupin (Izraele). – Syntax a interpunkce řeckého souvětí ukazují, že oba výklady jsou rovnocenné: palingenezi lze vztáhnout buď (A) k následujícímu výrazu pro „usednutí (Syna člověka na trůn)“, tedy do budoucnosti, anebo (B) k předchozímu výrazu pro „následování (učedníků za Ježíšem)“, tedy do minulosti, kromě toho existuje (C) výklad otevřený. V řeckých, latinských a českých verzích ze 16. století jsou zastoupeny všechny možnosti: Erasmus interpunkčně opravuje Vulgátu (B), Beza nejprve respektuje Vulgátu (A), v anotacích však zvažuje druhé řešení (B), ve čtvrtém a pátém vydání nakonec nechává věc otevřenou (C), v dilematu mezi Vulgátou a Erasmem váhají i dva české překlady z první poloviny 16. stol. (náměšťský 1533, melantrišský 1556/57) (C), většina bratrských překladů počínaje Blahoslavem (1564) se odchyluje od Vulgáty (B), jen kralická Šestidílka (1593/94) váhá (C), v Šestidílce i v kralickém Novém zákoně z r. 1601 Bratří věnují oběma výkladům rovnocennou pozornost v poměrně rozsáhlé poznámce, která je pro svou vyváženost pěkným dokladem intelektuální otevřenosti a tolerance, podobně jako Beza připojují k výkladu (B) nový aspekt: palingeneze může znamenat obnovení celého světa díky evangeliu a prvnímu příchodu Mesiáše. – Vzhledem k dynamickému vývoji v 16. století je překvapivé, že všech deset sledovaných českých překladů z období kolem 20. století se shoduje jen na jedné variantě (A). Zdá se, že variantě (B) hrozí nespravedlivé zapomenutí. Proto si na závěr dovolujeme navrhnout nový, poněkud volnější překlad či parafrázi verše Mt 19,28 v kralickém duchu: „Amen, pravím vám, vy jste šli za mnou, když jsem přišel obnovit svět evangeliem, a až Syn člověka usedne na trůn své slávy, budete to zase vy, kdo usednete na dvanáct trůnů a budete soudit dvanáct kmenů Izraele.“ In Matthew’s version of Jesus’ promise (Matthew 19:28–30), in contrast to Mark and Luke, there is no explicit mention of the present time, the restitution of all that the followers of Jesus left behind is thus pushed forward to the future, in which they will take over the reigns with the Son of Man. The promise features the rare term “palingenesis”, whose precise temporal and factual determination cannot be deduced from the sentence itself. While in Mt 19:28 palingenesis is, according to the prevailing interpretation, a synonym for the future restoration of the universe, in Tit 3:5 (the only other occurrence in the NT) the same word refers to the rebirth of some people that took place in the past (at baptism). Even non-biblical literature does not provide a clear precedent - palingenesis tends to be set both in the past and in the future, it concerns both the world and individuals or groups (Israel). – The syntax and punctuation of the Greek sentence show that both interpretations are equally possible: palingenesis can be related either (A) to the following verbal form “sitting (the Son of Man on the throne)”, i.e. to the future, or (B) to the preceding verbal form “following (disciples behind Jesus)”, i.e. into the past, in addition, there is a third, open option (C). In the 16th-century Greek, Latin, and Czech versions, all possibilities are represented: Erasmus punctuates the Vulgate differently (B), Beza first respects the Vulgate (A), but in his Annotations he considers the second solution (B), in the fourth and fifth editions he finally leaves the matter open (C), two Czech translations from the first half of the 16th century (Náměšť 1533, Melantrich 1556/57) hesitate in the dilemma between the Vulgate and Erasmus (C), most Brethren translations starting with Blahoslav (1564) deviate from the Vulgate (B), only the Six-Volume Kralice Bible from 1593/94 (“Kralická Šestidílka”) hesitates (C), in “Kralická Šestidílka” and in the Kralice New Testament from 1601 the Brethren pay equal attention to both interpretations in a rather extensive note, which, for its balance, is a nice proof of intellectual openness and tolerance. Like Beza, the Brethren add a new aspect to interpretation (B): palingenesis can mean the renewal of the whole world thanks to the Gospel and the first coming of the Messiah. – Considering the dynamic development in the 16th century, it is surprising that all ten tracked Czech translations from around the 20th century agree on only one variant (A). Option (B) seems to be in danger of unfair oblivion. Therefore, in conclusion, we allow ourselves to propose a new, somewhat looser translation or paraphrase of verse Mt 19:28 in the spirit of Kralice: “Amen, I say to you, it was you who followed me when I came to renew the world with the gospel, and when the Son of Man sits on the throne of his glory, it will be you again who will sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.”

Galloping of insulated bundled overhead line - nonlinear numerical analysis in time domain
Macháček, Michael; Hračov, Stanislav
2024 - English
Our contribution focuses on a 3D numerical nonlinear analysis of galloping in a specific bundled overhead line with ice accretion. We studied the susceptibility to this self-excited oscillation, critical onset wind speeds, and global dynamic response of a very low-tensioned line with simulated icing observed on similar real conductors. Due to the highly nonlinear mechanical behavior of such a flexible cable, we employed the Newmark integration method combined with the iterative Newton-Raphson method. We analyzed two numerical models of the overhead line loaded by the wind: one assuming nonlinearity only in the wind load, while retaining the linearity of the mechanical system itself, and the other representing a fully nonlinear system including geometrical nonlinearity. Our analysis revealed that the determined critical wind speeds for the onset of galloping are in relatively close ranges for both models. However, numerical simulations with the fully nonlinear system indicated significantly lower amplitudes of limit cycle oscillations, especially at higher wind speeds, compared to the linear model of the line. This underscores the necessity of using fully nonlinear models during the design stage of such low-tensioned aerial conductors.

Numerical study of the steady airflow in the human respiratory system during inhaling and exhaling
Lancmanová, Anna; Bodnár, Tomáš
2024 - English
This paper presents some of the initial results of the numerical simulations of a steady turbulent flow in human upper airways during inhalation and exhalation. The mathematical model is based on the system of Reynolds-Averaged incompressible Navier-Stokes equations complemented by the SST k − ω turbulence model. The simulations were performed using finite-volume open source solver OpenFOAM on a realistic three-dimensional geometry. The main aim of this particular study is to verify the computational setup with special focus on appropriate choice and implementation of boundary conditions. The prescribed boundary conditions are chosen to mimic the physiological conditions during normal breathing cycle. This study aims to gain an insight into the airflow behavior during the inhalation and exhalation process by comparing the results of two distinct simulations corresponding to two different (opposite) flow rates . The obtained local flow rates and flow fields for both cases are presented and mutually compared. This initial work should serve as a foundation for future more complex simulations that will include the time-dependent and compressible effects.

Numerical evaluation of mass-diffusive compressible fluids flows models
Bodnár, Tomáš; Fraunié, P.
2024 - English
This contribution presents first numerical tests of some recently published alternative models for solution of viscous compressible and nearly incompressible models. All models are solved by high resolution compact finite difference scheme with strong stability preserving RungeKutta time stepping. The two simple but challenging computational test cases are presented, based on the double-periodic shear layer and the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The obtained time-dependent flow fields are showing pronounced shear and vorticity layers being resolved by the standard as well as by the new mass-diffusive modified models. The preliminary results show that the new models are viable alternative to the well established classical models.
