Abstract:
Newspaper comment sections allow readers to voice their opinion on a wide range of topics, provide feedback for journalists and editors and may enable public debate. Comment sections have been criticized as a medium for toxic comments. Such behavior in comment sections has been attributed to the effect of anonymity. Several studies have found a relationship between anonymity and toxic comments, based on laboratory conditions or the comparison of comments from different sites or platforms. The current study uses real-world data sampled from The Washington Post and The New York Times, where anonymous and non-anonymous users comment on the same articles. This sampling strategy decreases the possibility of interfering variables, ensuring that any observed differences between the two groups can be explained by anonymity. A small but significant relationship between anonymity and toxic comments was found, though the effects of both the newspaper and the direction of the comment were stronger. While it is true that non-anonymous commenters write fewer toxic comments, we observed that many of the toxic comments were directed at others than the article or author of the original article. This may indicate a way to restrict toxic comments, while allowing anonymity, by restricting the reference to others, e.g., by enforcing writers to focus on the topic.

Abstract. A number of studies show that user comments on news websites can affect news-related judgments and perceptions. However, with news organizations increasingly shifting their comment sections to social network sites (SNS), questions arise about whether this alters previously observed effects. Instead of encountering comments “below the line,” SNS provoke a reversed direction of exposure, suggesting that comments might be read before the news article. Addressing the implications of this shift in direction of exposure, we conducted a preregistered experiment with German participants ( N = 630), in which we varied comment presentation order (before vs. after the article) and comment valence (positive vs. negative) and assessed how these factors influence the way individuals perceive the journalistic quality of commented news articles. The data provide evidence for a negativity bias and presentation order effects, with negative comments showing distinct effects on quality perceptions, particularly when presented after the article.

Abstract:
Online video pornography websites have grown into a key online industry and location for pornography consumption. While much work has been done investigating reception of online video generally, discourse analysis of comments and interaction around online pornography remains rare. This article focuses on comments on adult videos, comparing and contrasting the comments on adult videos with other online video sites. The goal is to identify and explain differences and similarities in the content of comments and interaction. The article therefore analyses 22,562 comments taken from the 100 most-viewed videos on the popular porn-hosting website, Pornhub. In contrast to studies of non-pornographic online video pages, analysis shows little interaction among users in comments sections and that offense is largely absent. Building on this analysis, I then discuss why offense does not arise in the comments. Findings suggest that the location of the comments at the point of pornography consumption affects the comment content, resulting in a discourse of solitary pleasure and fantasy rather than community engagement.

Abstract:
This study observes two relevant issues in today’s media ecosystem: incivility in online news comments and media bias during election periods. By analyzing 84 stories and 4670 comments published during the 2017 presidential election in Chile, we observed the extent to which news commenters addressed political figures using uncivil discourse, and the extent to which incivility and media bias were related in comments discussing the election. Results indicate incivility in comment sections of Chilean news outlets is higher than that found in the Global North, and the levels of uncivil speech are even higher when the conversation mentions female politicians, especially former president Michelle Bachelet. We also found a relationship between media bias and user bias—stories positively biased toward current president Sebastián Piñera were associated with more positive comments about him. Implications and future research are discussed.

Abstract:
The study investigates the flagging behavior as specific type of bystander intervention against uncivil user comments in comments sections on news sites. Two experimental studies examine the effects of intervention information, characteristics of response comments, and the type of victim attacked in a comment on flagging behavior, that is on reporting a comment to professional moderators. Our results indicate that intervention information is a promising strategy to motivate flagging. Flagging is based on responsibility attribution to professional moderators but not on self-responsibility perception. Type of victim and characteristics of other users’ posted responses to preceding comments (public disagreement and politeness) shape deviance perceptions of the situation and influence flagging behavior.

Abstract:
Journalists, scholars, and citizens have raised concerns regarding the high share of incivility in comment sections of news outlets. The current study surveyed members of the social movement #ichbinhier, which aims at collectively countering uncivil comments to cultivate a civil discussion atmosphere in comment sections. We root the activities of #ichbinhier as corrective action and identify the determinants of the members’ engagement by integrating research on bystander behavior and collective action. The findings of our survey show that factors pertaining to individual skills, perceived responsibility, and expected benefits relate to the members’ likelihood to engage against uncivil online comments. Regarding factors derived from collective action research, group efficacy and knowledge of the rules and structures of the movement account for higher levels of engagement. These results shed light on the factors that motivate and inhibit #ichbinhier members—and, potentially, Facebook users in general—to engage against uncivil comments.

Abstract:
Online comments have been a widespread feature in news media. Although audiences recognize it widely, doubts remain about the purpose of these interactive spaces. Arguably, understanding how media value online comments defines a way which public debates are socially perceived. Based on The Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2019, this article analysed current media policies towards online commenting in most accessed news websites in Portugal, Spain and Brazil. Following both a quantitative-qualitative methodology, a direct observation and a textual/visual analysis, this article highlights levels of similarity in these policies: comment sections are still predominantly available (31 from 45); comments are typically placed at the bottom of the page; the interactive options identical (share, like, dislike, report). As the overall cases exclude comment moderation, few media (in Portugal, but mostly in Spain) propose alternative models based on the community: voting, comment ranking and autonomous discussion forums.

Abstract:
Which bystanders will confront racist, misogynist, personal attacks in news comment sections? This article applies sociological concepts of deviance and social control to categorize efforts to moderate online news comments. Three dimensions of social control are theorized: affirming and sanctioning social control, formal and informal social control, and direct and indirect social control. Particular focus is on indirect informal social control (i.e. rating and reporting of news comments) in order to examine which users are likely to intervene to maintain social order. An analysis of secondary data from a survey of online news users found that demographics play an important role—younger, wealthier, White, males are most likely to report abusive comments. Trust in the news media and authoritarian personality traits also significantly predicted bystander intervention. Theoretical implications for the role of social control in enforcing social norms in news comment spaces and for professional comment moderation are discussed.

Overall, the tone of comments was more negative than positive.ConclusionsFindings suggest that while the environmental and public health motivations for developing and in turn consuming IVM resonate with some segments of the population, others find that reasoning both uncompelling and problematic. Concerns about IVM as an unnatural and risky product also appear to be a significant barrier to public acceptance of IVM. Supporters of IVM may wish to begin to develop a regulatory strategy for IVM to build public trust and explore messaging strategies that cast IVM as a new technology with benefits to individuals rather than primarily a solution to global challenges. Those in the public health nutrition field can make an important contribution to the emerging public discussion about IVM.

Abstract:
Departing from the increasing threat that organized hate groups and their manipulative practices pose to contemporary society, this thesis seeks to unravel the workings of digital hate culture and to highlight the potential of civil society-led counter initiatives to combat the spread of hatred online. The research is based on a twofold qualitative content analysis. In a first step, the intended practices of two opposing groups – an organized hate group (Reconquista Germanica) and an organized counter speech group (Reconquista Internet) – are analyzed based on a set of internal strategic communication documents. In a second step, three comment threads on Facebook are examined to illustrate the actualized practices of users spreading hate and users who counter-speak. By drawing on a four-dimensional framework, the analysis thereby considers how practices, discourses, power relations, and the technological affordances of Facebook shape this interplay. With theoretical reference to Mouffe’s (2005) work on the antagonistic nature of the political and today’s post-political Zeitgeist, this thesis ultimately comes to discuss whether such confrontations between exponents of digital hate culture and counter speakers must be understood as irrefutable antagonisms or if productive agonism can be fostered through a mutual understanding of one another as legitimate adversaries.What the analysis evinces is that the discussions carried out between the two opposing camps are highly moralized, resulting in an antagonistic battle between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ that interferes with the possibility for productive agonism. It is further shown that, in this post-political discussion climate, counter speech carries a crucial responsibility to conform to moral values and maintain professional and ethical standards to set itself apart from the harmful practices of digital hate culture. Otherwise, as the analysis indicates, counter efforts are likely to spur on destructive dynamics, further hardening the fronts between opposing positions that characterize today’s increasingly polarized societies.

Abstract:
Allt fler människor använder sig av Youtube och andra öppna internetmiljöer för att lära sig matematik. Enligt tidigare studier finns det en stor spridning när det gäller bostadsort och ålder bland deltagarna i dessa miljöer. Min undersökning visar att ett urval om 10 Youtubevideor om ekvationslösning och deras kommentarsfält också kännetecknas av en stor spridning av matematikdiskurser bland deltagarna. En studie av 85 dialoger i kommentarsfälten visar att i omkring hälften av dialogerna uttrycker sig olika deltagare på sätt som kännetecknar olika matematikdiskurser, medan i den andra hälften alla deltagare uttrycker sig på sätt som kännetecknar samma matematikdiskurs. De förra dialogerna slutar mer sällan med att deltagarna upplever förståelse, medan lärandet i de senare dialogerna begränsas av vad som går att uttrycka inom ramen för den rådande diskursen. Genom att utveckla begrepp och kategorier för att beskriva matematikdiskurserna lägger studien grunden för fortsatt forskning, både kvalitativa med intervjuer av deltagare och kvantitativa med större material.
The use of Youtube and other open internet environments for learning mathematics is becoming increasingly common. According to earlier studies there is a great diversity of ages and nationalities among participants in these environments. My investigation shows that a selection of 10 Youtube videos about equation solving and their comments sections also are characterized by a diversity of mathematics discourses. A study of 85 dialogues in the comments sections shows that in approximately half of the dialogues different participants express themselves in manners characteristic of different mathematics discourses, while in the other half all the participants express themselves in manners characteristic of the same mathematics discourse. The former dialogues more seldom end with experiences of understanding, while learning in the latter group of dialogues is limited by what is possible to express within the dominant discourse. By developing terms and categories for describing the mathematics discourses this study lays the foundation for further research, both qualitative research comprising interviews with participants and quantitative research on greater amounts of data.

Abstract:
This PhD thesis concerns language and racism. The aim is to explore how racism is reproduced in interaction in public debates on immigration, integration and refugee policy. From a constructivist pragmatic perspective, language is considered as a practice that composes and makes sense of our social world and all the phenomena and individuals that we perceive in it. Racist discourses discriminate against and privilege people by categorising them according to notions of cultural, ethnical, racial, religious and national differences. The thesis has two main themes: 1) the linguistic reproduction of, and response to, racist discrimination and privileging in interaction, and 2) the role of language in various public arenas, and the norms and conditions for participation in these arenas. The thesis comprises five studies. Study I examines racist discourses and conditions for participation in an online newspaper comments section. Study II examines how the phrase “politically correct” is used and negotiated in the same comments section, and how its usage leads to the reproduction and normalisation of racism. Another comments section is the focus of Study III, in which discriminating and privileging categorisations of Muslims, Islam, Swedes and Sweden are analysed. Study IV examines an anti-racist forum on the social networking site Instagram. In the study, the reproduction of norms of whiteness is analysed, as well as power relations that are evoked, sustained and transformed in interaction. Finally, Study V is an analysis of linguistic, visual and material reproductions of political positions and racist discourses in a debate among party leaders on Swedish television. The thesis demonstrates how normalisation of racism is accomplished in interaction, and how reproduction of hierarchically structured difference and bigoted stereotypes are performed, and challenged, through language. The medium, combined with the user’s speech acts, set up the norms and conditions for participation, and for the discursive processes that reproduce the relations and structures of power.

Abstract:
The overall purpose of this essay, “‘I really hope you guys are enjoying this. Thank you so much for watching!’ - a qualitative and quantitative study of the interaction between YouTubers and their audience", is to study how YouTubers that play and comment video games interact with their audience, what kind of response these YouTubers receive and the interaction between viewers and fans in these YouTubers comment sections. This essay also studies if there is a difference between the response female and male YouTubers receive. The study is based on theories about fan culture, participation culture, collective intelligence, feminism and gender. A quantitative content analysis has been used to analyze 600 comments on six YouTube videos uploaded by six different YouTubers. The purpose of the quantitative analysis was to see what content of the comments most often occur as well as if the comment showed a positive, negative or neutral view of the YouTuber. The result of the quantitative analysis was used as a base for a qualitative critical discourse analysis, which also studied how the YouTubers behaved in the videos. The results of this study showed that the YouTubers mostly received positive comments about their personalities and their YouTube channel. They mostly received negative comments about the way they play the game. The female YouTubers received more negative comments than the male YouTubers, who in turn received more positive comments. The study also showed that YouTubers interact by talking directly to the audience and looking into the camera, by using the word “we” when talking about how they play the game as if they are playing with the audience, by asking the audience questions and by answering comments that the YouTubers have received. The YouTubers engage their audience by using strong expressions and by playing the game during a livestream. The YouTubers’ fans engage and interact by showing appreciation of the YouTubers and defend the YouTubers when they receive negative comments in the comment section of their videos. These ways which YouTubers interact with and engage their audience can be seen as part of a discourse about interaction and engagement online.

Full text
Abstract:
Den 14 maj 2020 tillbringade Paolo Roberto kvällen i en lägenhet på Östermalm i Stockholm med en kvinna från ett av Europas fattigaste länder och greps på bar gärning i en polisrazzia. Stjärnkocken, skådespelaren och programledaren erkände sig skyldig till sexköp. I en intervju dagen därpå säger Roberto själv att kvinnan kanske var dittvingad. Nyheten väckte starka reaktioner i kommentarsfält på sociala medier. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur användare uttrycker sig i kommentarsfält under en kontroversiell nyhet om ett laddat ämne som skapar delade åsikter. Vi kommer därför att analysera hur användare i kommentarsfältet på Facebook reagerade på intervjun med Paolo Roberto i TV4. Det uppsatsen intresserar sig för är hur deltagarjournalistiken bidrar till den offentliga diskursen om det känsliga ämnet sexköp, samt andra diskurser som uppkommer. Studien har två frågeställningar; en som undersöker vilka reaktioner finns i kommentarsfältet och en som undersöker hur reaktionerna kan förstås i ljuset av diskurserna om sexköp och medieetik. Uppsatsens teoretiska ramverk baseras på deltagarjournalistik och diskursteori. Studien är en kvalitativ textanalys, och genomför den textanalytiska dimensionen av Anabela Carvalhos (2008) apparat för kritisk diskursanalys. Ur det empiriska materialet har mönster identifierats varav tolv stycken har analyserats djupare. Exempel på dessa är att många beskriver Robertos beteende som att ”gråta ut” och att styra narrativet. En stor del av kommentarerna lägger även skuld på TV4 för att de ”låter” honom göra detta. Vissa ifrågasätter TV4:s medieetik och publicistiska beslut medan några ifrågasätter sexköpslagen och den allmänna synen på sexköp vilket snabbt konfronteras av andra. Uppsatsen drar slutsatser som att diskursen om sexköp domineras av perspektivet att det är moraliskt fel att köpa någon annans kropp, att det inte är medieetiskt att intervjua en förövare på sättet TV4 gjorde och att det finns en efterfrågan på ställningstagande och/eller agendadriven journalistik. Till sist dras slutsatsen att uppsatsens författare sällar sig till den stora skara forskare som ser en demokratisk potential i deltagarjournalistik men känner besvikelse över att den i mångt och mycket går förlorad.
May the 14th of 2020 the Swedish celebrity Paolo Roberto spent the evening in an apartment in a fancy neighborhood in Stockholm with a woman from one of the poorest countries in Europe, and was caught in the act of purchasing sexual services from her. The star chef, actor and TV host confessed to the police later that night. In an interview the following day, Roberto himself says that he suspects the woman was not there willingly. The news of his crime generated strong reactions in comment sections on social media. The purpose of the study is to examine how users express themselves in comment sections under a controversial news article about an emotionally charged subject. We will therefore analyze how users in a particular comment section on Facebook reacted to the interview with Paolo Roberto in TV4. The thesis is interested in how participatory journalism contributes to the public discourse about the emotionally charged subject of sex purchases, as well as other discourses that we may encounter. The study aims to answer two research questions; one that examines what reactions the comment section contains and one that examines how these reactions can be understood in the light of discourses of prostitution and media ethics. The theorical framework of the essay is based on participatory journalism and discourse theory. The thesis is a qualitative text analysis and utilizes the textual analytical dimension of Anabela Carvalho’s apparatus for critical discourse analysis (2008). From the empirical material patterns have been identified and 12 of these were selected for deeper analysis. Some examples of these are that many describe Roberto’s behavior as “sobbing” and controlling the narrative. A large part of the comment section blames TV4 for “letting” him do this. Some challenge the ethics and editorial decision of TV4 while others disagree with the Swedish model for prostitution and the mainstream view on purchasing sex, which will quickly be confronted by others. The conclusions of the thesis are that the prostitution discourse is dominated by the perspective that it is morally wrong to purchase someone else’s body, that it is not ethical to interview a perpetrator the way TV4 did and that there is demand for agenda-driven journalism. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that the authors of the essay are part of the large majority of scientists who see a democratic potential in participatory journalism but are disappointed by the fact that it is not harnessed.

Abstract:
Depuis longtemps, déjà, les recherches sur l'apprentissage se multiplient et tentent, chacune à leur manière de faire avancer la compréhension de ce processus complexe. Si l'acte d'apprendre est également au coeur de notre travail, il est appréhendé ici sous l'angle du désir, le désir de savoir, présent dans l'histoire singulière de chacun, étant à la source même de l'acte d'apprendre. Notre travail tente d'analyser le désir d'apprendre à travers la mobilisation scolaire, appréhendée comme une des voies d'expression du désir d'apprendre. Pour cela nous avons privilégié l'observation directe de vingt élèves de grande section de maternelle. Les observations nous révèlent d'abord que les conduites des élèves différent globalement, selon leur profil mais aussi en fonction de leur sexe et de leurs compétences scolaires. Elles nous dévoilent ensuite que la mobilisation des élèves peut s'exprimer à travers des attitudes plurielles et diversifiées et qu'elle n'est pas sans lien avec le rapport à l'école des élèves
Researches on learning have multiplied. Each one has tried in its own way to enhance the understanding of this intricate process. If the action of learning is also at the core of our study, it is considered here from the point of view of desire. The desire for knowledge which is part of everyone's personal story and which is at the root of the act of learning. Our work is an attempt to analyse the desire of knowledge through school work and behaviour seen here as a means of expressing one's desire to learn. We have favoured direct observation of twenty pupils in their last year at infant school. Our observations first display that the behaviours of the pupils vary not only according to their profile but also depend on their sexes and their abilities at school. They then reveal that pupils involvement can express itself through many different attitudes and that it is connected to their relation to school

The aim of this thesis is to provide insight into how YouTube audiences perceive theprofessionalization of vlog production styles and what happens to the parasocial relationshipbetween viewer and vlogger, especially in relation to authenticity, in relation to this. This is doneby a thematic analysis of comments on Valeria Lipovetsky’s YouTube video “We Need ToTalk”, which serves as a case study. The analysis is done in background to theories ofprofessionalization of influencers, parasocial relationships and authenticity. The results show thatthere is a tension between the perceived authenticity of the vlogger and the professionalizationof vlog production style that is affecting the parasocial relationship between viewer and vloggernegatively. The distinguished themes point to vlogs filmed by a camera team being perceived toresemble reality television which is making the viewers feel disconnected with the vlogger. It isrevealed that the audience prefers vlogs where the vlogger is holding the camera themselves, asthat is perceived as more personal and authentic.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter explains how to estimate an unobserved random variable or vector from available observations. This problem arises in many examples, as illustrated in Sect. 9.1. The basic problem is defined in Sect. 9.2. One commonly used approach is the linear least squares estimate explained in Sect. 9.3. A related notion is the linear regression covered in Sect. 9.4. Section 9.5 comments on the problem of overfitting. Sections 9.6 and 9.7 explain the minimum means squares estimate that may be a nonlinear function of the observations and the remarkable fact that it is linear for jointly Gaussian random variables. Section 9.8 is devoted to the Kalman filter, which is a recursive algorithm for calculating the linear least squares estimate of the state of a system given previous observations.

Abstract:
<p>Paper reports findings from parametric analysis of open section constant height composite bridges with considered spans ranging from 20 to 70 m (for larger spans closed box girder section is recommended). For these spans, girder structural system is analyzed for permanent and traffic loads, and thus steel quantity determined according to Eurocode limit states. For each span, possible sections comprise various “<span>I</span>” girder types and various number of girders determined from variable bridge width, distinguishing two groups of sections – sections with only two main girders (comprising hunched deck plate of variable thickness) and sections with more than two girders (comprising constant thickness deck plate). Other considered parameters are section height, steel flange width and occurrence of web stiffeners for buckling verification. Analysis is performed on finite element models, according to typical construction stages, where composite section is activated only for loads applied after in‐situ concreating of deck slab. For each variable set, needed steel quantity is recorded. Graphical representation of all results is plotted in diagrams, showing section types and steel quantity for a given range of span lengths. In conclusion, comments are given for use of composite cross sections according to the bridge span length and width.</p>

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to examine the utility of nonlinear analysis for structural response to thermal and mechanical loads, for a structure containing alternating regions of high and low stiffness as a result of inclusion of bellow sections. Utility is measured by comparison of results of linear and nonlinear analyses. The specific example used is that of an exhaust manifold for a large diesel engine. The paper discusses modeling of geometric and material nonlinearity, and makes recommendations in regard to which nonlinear effects are thought to be significant, based on the linear/nonlinear comparisons. The paper also contains general comments on the finite element modeling of structures containing bellows.

Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of optimization for multifunctional nanocomposites. A carbon nanotubeepoxy composite is optimized for maximum resistance change and minimum strain energy. Analysis uses a finite element method and includes the coupled physics of mechanics, electrostatics, and piezoresistivity. The problem is solved first for minimum strain energy, then two resistance maximization problems are solved. For all optimization, sensitivities are obtained analytically. After solving the individual problems a weighted sum approach is used in the multi-objective optimization of both minimizing the strain energy and maximizing the resistance change. Comments are made as to the effect of the topology optimization method as a design tool, on the shape of the optimized cross sections, and on the possible extensions on using the coupled physics topology optimization algorithm.

Full text
Abstract:
Centrifugal compressor’s long delivery times as well as high capital and operating expenditures have classified them as projects critical equipment. Purchasers normally employ American Petroleum Institute (API) standard API 617 as the convenient backbone for customizing their centrifugal compressor’s purchasing specification within oil, gas, and petrochemical industry. Centrifugal compressor’s mechanical and performance integrity guaranteed by the manufacturer at the contract stage is based on purchaser’s specific project requirements reflected in material requisition. Accordingly, purchasers share the responsibility of a suitable design. Among those API 617 clauses applicable to centrifugal compressors, some of them require purchaser’s decision on certain details and features, which should be finalized prior to order placement. It is tried to provide a perspective of the latest edition of API 617 (July 2002) as it is applied to centrifugal compressors from a purchaser’s viewpoint. Moreover, it attempts to address critical sections of the standard and share practical comments on specific clauses.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic not only marked global events in 2020, but also left its marks on news media functioning. The Coronavirus has become a thematic agenda of the newscast of the last month in global, national, and regional media. While radio and TV stations came up with special programmes on the subject of the pandemic, in newspapers, on the Internet and in mobile applications there appeared specialized sections and columns, in which media published news items thematically related to the Coronavirus. Some TV stations made their archives and other usually paid services available free of charge, and mobile operators offered their customers unlimited data. However, the approach to the charging a toll for the Internet content has also changed. While some media made all content available to their readers, others unlocked, for instance, news items and various content devoted to the pandemic (comments, analyzes, information graphics, etc.). The purpose of the paper is to point out different approaches to the strategy of imposing a charge on the content of news websites during the COVID-19 pandemic, on the example of the most widely read Slovak news portals.

Full text
Abstract:
Gas compression systems consist of a number of turbo machinery components: A Gas Turbine consisting of a gas producer turbine, and a power turbine; one or several gas compressors or gas compressor sections; and possibly a gearbox. The end-user usually defines very specific operating conditions. However, the acceptance testing is often performed on the individual components rather than the overall system. Intuitively, one would rather expect criteria that are based on the overall system operation. This paper suggests a different approach of defining the acceptance criteria, such that it is based on the performance of the overall system and thus ties the acceptance criteria to the operational goals of the installation. The review also includes comments on some mechanical aspects of factory and field-testing of turbomachinery. Because the above approach involves the entire system, the verification of the acceptance criteria needs to be addressed. It is therefore described how the overall system performance can be verified, even if the operating conditions during the test are different from the specified acceptance conditions. The advantage of this approach is that it avoids over-specifying equipment due to adding tolerances upon tolerances, while at the same time specifying what really counts for the operational success of the project.

Abstract:
Given the current level of computational resources that are readily available, three dimensional (3-D) gas turbine engine performance simulation remains extremely time consuming. The current paper presents a synthesis of existing flow simulation methods coupled together in the form of a new software package. The software is able to assess the impact of a 3-D flow profile at the intake inlet on engine performance, demanding relatively low computational resources. More precisely four flow simulation techniques are employed, represented respectively by four individual stand alone software sub-modules. 3-D Vortex Lattice Method (VLM) is used to simulate the intake flow. Subsequently the intake outlet 3-D flow profile is decomposed into a radial and a circumferential component. For the compressor performance simulation, that receives those components as inlet boundary conditions, a two dimensional (2-D) Streamline Curvature (SLC) simulation method coupled with an extended parallel compressor model is used. SLC addresses the impact of the radial flow distortion, whereas the extended parallel compressor model examines the impact of circumferential flow distortion on engine performance. The results of the above analysis are stored into an intake-compressor performance characteristic map, which is then fed into a zero dimensional (0-D) performance simulation tool in order to evaluate the overall impact of the intake inlet distorted flow on engine performance. The paper is divided into two major sections. The first one presents the individual flow simulation techniques, together with the corresponding software modules. A short summary of each method is given first and then the software module is described, followed by brief comments on the validation results that have been already published. The section in concluded by the description of the synthesized software. The second major section deals with the application of the synthesized simulation method on a turbojet engine. A generic turbojet engine has been chosen mounted behind a generic intake, given the lack of relevant experimental results. The engine has a four stage axial flow compressor driven by a single stage axial flow turbine, followed by a converging nozzle. 3-D total pressure profiles were imposed at the intake inlet and several comparative graphs of engine’s performance parameters between “clean” and distorted inlet flow conditions are given. The paper is concluded with a discussion on software’s abilities and weaknesses as well as on its potential future expansion.

Full text
Abstract:
Cold in-place recycling (CIR) involves the recycling of the asphalt portions (including hot-mix asphalt and chip, slurry, and cape seals, as well as others) of a flexible or composite pavement with asphalt emulsion or foamed asphalt as the binding agent. Full-depth reclamation (FDR) includes the recycling of the entire depth of the pavement and, in some cases, a portion of the subgrade with asphalt, cement, or lime products as binding agents. Both processes are extensively utilized in Illinois. This project reviewed CIR and FDR projects identified by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) from the Transportation Bulletin and provided comments on pavement designs and special provisions. The researchers evaluated the performance of existing CIR/FDR projects through pavement condition surveys and analysis of falling weight deflectometer data collected by IDOT. They also reviewed CIR/FDR literature and updated/modified (as appropriate) previously provided inputs concerning mix design, testing procedures, thickness design, construction, and performance as well as cold central plant recycling (CCPR) literature related to design and construction. The team monitored the performance of test sections at the National Center for Asphalt Technology and Virginia Department of Transportation. The researchers assisted IDOT in the development of a CCPR special provision as well as responded to IDOT inquiries and questions concerning issues related to CIR, FDR, and CCPR. They attended meetings of IDOT’s FDR with the Cement Working Group and provided input in the development of a special provision for FDR with cement. The project’s activities confirmed that CIR, FDR, and CCPR techniques are successfully utilized in Illinois. Recommendations for improving the above-discussed techniques are provided.
