Reverse time migration (RTM) is based on the two-way wave equation, so its imaging results obtained by conventional zero-lag cross-correlation imaging conditions contain a lot of low-wavenumber noises. So far, the wavefield decomposition method based on the Poynting vector has been developed to suppress these noises; however, this method also has some problems, such as unstable calculation of the Poynting vector, low accuracy of wavefield decomposition, and poor effect of large-angle migration artifacts suppression. This article introduces the optical flow vector method to RTM to realize high-precision wavefield decomposition for both the source and receiver wavefields and obtains four directions of wavefields: up-, down-, left-, and right-going. Then, the cross-correlation imaging sections of one-way propagation components of forward- and back-propagated wavefields are optimized and stacked. On this basis, the reflection angle of each imaging point is calculated based on the optical flow vector, and an attenuation factor related to the reflection angle is introduced as the weight to generate the optimal stack images. The tests of theoretical model and field marine seismic data illustrate that compared with the conventional RTM with wavefield decomposition based on the Poynting vector, the angle-weighted RTM with wavefield decomposition based on the optical flow vector proposed in this article can achieve wavefield decomposition for both the source and receiver wavefields and calculate the reflection angle of each imaging point more accurately and stably. Moreover, the proposed method adopts angle weighting processing, which can further eliminate large-angle migration artifacts and effectively improve the imaging accuracy of RTM.

Self-excited oscillation pulse jet technology is widely used to clean sediment from oil storage tanks. Its successful application is dependent on jet performance. As the cleaning requirements of the oil industry increase, it is necessary to optimise the structure of self-excited oscillation pulsed jet nozzles (SOPJNs) to optimise cleaning and energy efficiencies. In this study, the jet performance of a SOPJN is modelled and analysed based on computational fluid dynamics with consideration of a large eddy simulation and homogeneous cavitation. The modelling results are highly consistent with experimental results. The effects of the SOPJN’s inlet diameter, cavity diameter, cavity length, wall reflection angle, and inlet pressure on the jet’s peak velocity, oscillation frequency, and cavitation number were analysed. The results show that the oscillation frequency decreases with the increase of the inlet diameter d1, cavity diameter D, cavity length L and reflection angle of wall α. Optimisation of the SOPJN inlet diameter, cavity length, and wall reflection angle produced a jet with a high peak velocity and strong cavitation. The optimal nozzle cavity diameter strengthens cavitation, while the peak velocity fluctuates as the cavity diameter increases. The peak velocity increases with the inlet pressure, while the increasing rate of the peak velocity decreases. The results of this study can be used in the design and optimisation of similar nozzle structures for improved pulse jet cleaning.

Seismic images under complex overburdens like salt are strongly affected by illumination variations due to overburden velocity variations and imperfect acquisition geometries, making it difficult to obtain reliable image amplitudes. Least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) addresses these issues by formulating full wave-equation imaging as a linear inverse problem and solving for a reflectivity model that explains the recorded seismic data. Because subsurface reflection coefficients depend on the incident angle, and possibly on azimuth, quantitative interpretation under complex overburdens requires LSRTM with output in terms of image gathers, e.g., as a function of reflection angle or angle and azimuth. We present a reflection angle- or angle/azimuth-dependent LSRTM method aimed at obtaining physically meaningful image amplitudes interpretable in terms of angle- or angle/azimuth-dependent reflection coefficients. The method is formulated as a linear inverse problem solved iteratively with the conjugate gradient method. It requires an adjoint pair of linear operators for reflection angle/azimuth-dependent migration and demigration based on full wave-equation propagation. We implement these operators in an efficient way by using a mapping approach between migrated shot gathers and subsurface reflection angle/azimuth gathers. To accelerate convergence of the iterative inversion, we apply image-domain preconditioning operators computed from a single de-remigration step. An angle continuity constraint and a structural dip constraint, implemented via shaping regularization, are used to stabilize the solution in the presence of limited illumination and to control the effects of coherent noise. We demonstrate the method on a synthetic data example and on a wide-azimuth streamer dataset from the Gulf of Mexico, where we show that angle/azimuth-dependent LSRTM can achieve significant uplift in subsalt image quality, with overburden- and acquisition-related illumination variation effects on angle/azimuth-dependent image amplitudes largely removed.

The article discusses the principles and possibilities of using jet-drop optical measuring systems for monitoring the electric field strength (EFS). Two applied techniques are considered. First, the deflection of flying charged droplets (balls, hollow granules) used as micro-objects sensitive to EFS and deviating from a given rectilinear trajectory of motion, like an electron in a kinescope. Secondly, stroboscopic determination of the position and/or displacement of drops by pulsed illumination of the side of the deflected drop by the optical flow and measurement of the reflection angle for it. The possibilities of implementing the differential method of EFS measurements are discussed. The features of the use of liquids with the addition of metal nanopowders or based on liquid metals, as well as hollow droplets in the form of microspheres or hollow granules are considered

As continuously shaped super-mirrors are becoming available, the conceptual design of focusing guides should explore a wider range of possibilities to accomplish an efficient neutron beam extraction. Starting from a desired phase-space volume at the sample position and using an upstream ray-tracing approach, the acceptance diagram of any focusing guide can be calculated at the moderator position. To ensure high brilliance transfer and homogeneous coverage, the acceptance diagram should be fully included in the neutron source emission phase-space volume. Following this idea, the guide system can be scaled into dimensionless geometric figures that convey performance limits for a desired cross-section reduction. Moreover, if we impose a monotonic increase of the reflection angle with divergence angle at the sample position, the shape of the mirror is analytically determined. This approach was applied in the design of a focusing guide for SNAP instrument at SNS, at ORNL, USA. The results of McStas simulations are presented with different options included. Our approach facilitates finding an optimal solution for connecting multiple guide pieces to avoid excessive losses and ensure a homogeneous phase space coverage.
