Experimental study on time-frequency characteristics of self-excited pulsed jet striking force in self-absorbing annular-air fluid type by Weiqin ZUO, Shengjie WU, Yanwei LIU, Liqun LONG, Haojie JIA, Jian MIAO, Shixi ZHANG

“…The energy of the jet is greatly reduced when the peripheral pressure is greater than 0.1 MPa, and the reduction range is between 47.14% and 62.96%. Comparative analysis with self-excited pulsed jet and ordinary jet under the test condition of peripheral pressure of 0.1 MPa shows that the pulsation peak value and the pulsation amplitude of self-absorbing pulsed jet are 1.15 times and 1.16 times of self-excited pulsed jet and 1.25 times and 2.7 times of ordinary jet, respectively, which indicates that self-absorbing pulsed jet can continuously generate more energy under the submerged condition. submerged condition can continuously produce a better pulse jet with good pulse characteristics. …”

“…The expression of kinetics and related factors were quantified during rowing via the ergometer microcomputer (Calories per stroke, power [W], and strokes per minute), during barbell thrusters by a 3D motion tracking system (barbell velocity [m · sec−1] and power [W]), and by in-ground force plates during box jumps (peak and mean force [N], time-to-peak force [ms], rate of force development [RFD; N·sec−1], and impulse [N·sec]). The averages, standard deviation, and slope across rounds were calculated for all pacing and kinetic variables for separate 3-way (sex × workout durations × supplement conditions) repeated measures analysis of variance comparisons.Results Men and women completed a greater total volume load (~4.4%, p = 0.009) and repetitions at a faster rate (~2.2%, p = 0.043) during S compared to P and regardless of workout duration. …”
