Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 373 Needs Manpower

While Connie was on his way with the R&D agreement, Professor Pablo Herrero also sent a PhD student to the Ark.

But not to Princeton.

Instead, they went to the Salott Institute in California.

With the signing of the cooperation R&D agreement, research on superconducting materials has begun. The two research teams joined forces, and the project was progressing like a winged one.

However, even in a very good situation, the Ark did not expect immediate results.

The essence of science is to try and make mistakes, and there are many more “mistakes” that they need to try.

Superconductive materials are only one link in nuclear fusion engineering, but not all of them.

With the subject of carbon nanomaterials superconducting, his theoretical study of plasma began on this side of the ark.

The controllable nuclear fusion of magnetic constraints, whether it be Tokamak or an imitator, faces common challenges. And the three core elements are high temperatures, high density, and long time constraints!

There are still many solutions for the former, more commonly laser ignition, heating the plasma itself, and exothermic compression of the plasma volume… of course, there are several options available together.

What is really difficult, however, is the latter two - high density and prolonged constraints.

Plasma is not a very separable thing, according to the formula Re = ρvdμ of the number of Renaults, high density plasma bound by electromagnetic fields, with a large number of Renaults, any minor disturbance can cause disturbances and irregular turbulence throughout the plasma system.

Comparatively, a star mimetic has a certain advantage over constrained plasma and requires less consideration of many disturbance factors than Tokamak.

However, even without many disturbing factors, it is not easy to confine these restless plasmas to a small space.

The power of theory is greater than that.

When there is a simple theoretical model that can be relied upon, even if it is a simple imaginary model that works smoothly, it can have extraordinary significance for the entire nuclear fusion project.

One of the bottlenecks faced by controllable nuclear fusion technologies in the theoretical field, as far as research is concerned at this stage, is the difficulty of establishing a reliable theoretical model for the plasma in a particular fusion device.

That's exactly what's bothering the Ark.

Whether Euler-LaGrand equations or NS equations, these seem to be very concise theories, and the difficulty increases exponentially when used to solve specific problems.

If the existence and smoothness of NS equations is a mathematical century dilemma, then the turbulence of sticky fluids that satisfy NS equations is a physics century dilemma.

And the "turbulence of plasma" he studied belonged to one of the difficult problems of the century.

The office of the Institute of Advanced Studies, sitting on an ark in front of a desk, stared at the glass glass on the desk without turning a blind eye, as if it were stunned.

The cup is small, the lid of the insulation bottle is similar, and the liquid in it rolls over like boiling water and spills white smoke from the edge of the cup.

Walked over with the curriculum and was about to report on the teaching of numerical theory in the previous lesson, Vera looked curiously at the demented ark.

In her impression, the ark rarely spends its time on stupidity.

“Professor, what are you doing? ”

“Find inspiration. ”

Obviously, the ark is not stubborn, but the idea is at an impasse.

Staring up and down at the fluids in the cup, the tip of his hand began to lighten gently on the notebook.

Though up there, there's only one short line of equations.

[ρ {● V ● t + (V.Δ) · V} = -ΔP + ρg + μΔ ² V]

The equation itself is not difficult, with the rate of kinetic variation of the fluid unit on the left and the various forces acting on the fluid unit on the right.

However, it's not difficult, it's just the equation itself…

Vera did not interrupt his search for inspiration, but was curious to accompany him and stare at the cup on the table together.

Gradually, the white smoke spilling out of the cup became weaker and weaker, along with less liquid in the cup.

After a while, the liquid in the cup disappeared completely and Vera blinked and looked closer.

“It disappeared. ”

“Yes.”

The ark did not explain anything, indicating that Vera took a few steps backwards.

Then he put on the insulation gloves that he threw at the corner of the table and lifted a short, fine bottle of liquid helium from under the table, like a glass of wine, and threw it into the glass.

Glass steel cups are re-filled with clear liquid, the liquid level is re-boiling, and white smoke is dispersed.

After dropping the liquid helium bottle, the ship kept a safe distance and continued to watch the boiling liquid helium in the cup quietly.

Liquid helium at ultra-low temperatures presents an overflow phenomenon with a viscosity coefficient close to 0, and the Renault number tends to be infinite, which is a fluid close to the ideal state.

Although it appears to be more disturbing than “stationary" liquids, it involves considerably smaller operations from a mathematical point of view.

In a sense, a plasma in a magnetically constrained vacuum chamber is also present with a large Renault number. It has a large density ρ and a good diameter d, just because of the presence of viscosity coefficients it is not as exaggerated as liquid helium.

And this also means that its mathematical form is far more complex than liquid helium in a superfluid state…

“Professor, why do I feel so cold in the office? ”

Hardy, sitting at the other desk, shook his arm and looked down at the canoe.

'Cause I poured a little liquid helium. ”With a trivial remark, the Ark suddenly thought of something and looked at Qin Yue sitting next to the window and said,“ Qin Yue, open the window for me. ”

“Good professor.” Qin Yue put down the pen in his hand and opened the window.

After the window opened, the office warmed up a lot.

Suddenly realizing something, Hardy began to quietly pack up what was on the table and prepare to slip away.

Noticing his movements, the ark asked, "Where are you going? ”

With his backpack in his hand, Hardy laughed embarrassingly, "I... suddenly remembered that I still had a few articles to read and had to go to the library. ”

“Helium is not poisonous, don't be so nervous," the ark sighed, holding the glass by the window with the gloved hand, leaving it in the sun.

This thing is more dangerous than that.

If your fingers accidentally touch it, freeze off a layer of skin and it's all light.

Back at the desk, sitting down, the ark suddenly thought of something and looked at Vera and said.

“Have you studied the partial differential equation? ”

After a moment of serious reflection, Vera nodded and shook her head again, "I've studied... but not much research. Is there anything I can do for you? ”

The ark thought for a while and shook its head, “No, never mind, you continue with the subject of hail speculation. ”

Now there are only three people in the Hail speculation project group. If Vera is pulled from the project group, relying only on Qin Yue and Hadi, he will probably never see the day the project is completed.

The little girl's expression was slightly lost.

Though I would love to help the professor.

However, my abilities are still not enough...

It suddenly occurred to me that there was another person in his office, and the ark looked at Wei Wen sitting in the corner of the office, gazing at him from time to time.

“Wei Wen, have you studied the bias differential equation? ”

Looks like he finally waited for the professor to look this way. Wei Wen pushed his glasses with no expression, but the corner of his mouth snapped a smile.

“Yes, why? ”

Bias Differential Equations is one of his best areas, apart from general letter analysis.

At the undergraduate stage, he followed Yan Dae's professor and participated in similar studies.

After coming to Princeton so long, he finally waited for this opportunity to show off his fists and feet.

He's been preparing for this day too long.

He will prove himself to be the second-largest in this office with his strength!

The ark thought about it and said, "I'm going to start another lesson on the NS equation. ”

The curvature at the corner of his mouth became stiff, especially after hearing the name NS Equation, Wei Wen's smile on his face seemed... less confident.

However, the Ark did not notice his expression.

What he needs most now is people, even if he can help a little.

Of course, Wei Wen alone is not enough, even if he is capable enough, it is only relative to other graduate students.

The index finger lightly lit on the table, thinking about who else could help with the ark, his eyes suddenly lit and he sat up from the office chair.

“Yeah, how could you forget that guy...”

He whispered to himself, and the sound of the ark was a little exciting.

If it's him, I don't know if I can help myself with this!
