Magnetoplasma Lamination due to Microwave Gyroresonant Heating

The hysteresis transitions between two temperature states of a collisional magnetoplasa due to Joule heating near by the electron gyroresonance are analysed. The propagation of intense extra-ordinary gyroresonant microwave across the magnetic field in a plasma is responsible for such jump-like thermic effects, the wave amplitudes being less than the “characteristic plasma field”. The transversal heat conductivity may lead to formation of spatially periodical temperature profiles in the hysteresis region of wave's intensity; the spatial periods of such profiles are much less than the Joule dissipation length of heating wave. The thermodiffusion, stimulated by temperature lamination, may form the spatial oscillations of magneto-plasma density across the magnetic field.     

Electric current control of creation and annihilation of sub-100 nm magnetic bubbles examined by full-field transmission soft X-ray microscopy

The effect of electric current pulses on a sub-100 nm magnetic bubble state in a symmetric Pt/Co multilayer was directly observed using a full-field transmission soft X-ray microscope (MTXM). Field-induced evolution of the magnetic stripe domains into isolated bubbles with their sizes down to 100 nm was imaged under varying external magnetic fields. Electric current pulses were then applied to the created magnetic bubbles, and it was observed that the bubbles could be either created or annihilated by the current pulse depending on the strength of applied magnetic field. The results suggest that the Joule heating plays a critical role in the formation and/or elimination of the bubbles and skyrmions. Finally, the schematic phase diagram for the creation and annihilation of bubbles is presented, suggesting an optimized scheme with the combination of magnetic field and electric current necessary to utilize skyrmions in the practical devices.     

Observation of the decay dynamics and instabilities of megagauss field structures in laser-produced plasmas

Monoenergetic proton radiography was used to make the first measurements of the long-time-scale dynamics and evolution of megagauss laser-plasma-generated magnetic field structures. While a 1-ns 10(14) W/cm2 laser beam is on, the field structure expands in tandem with a hemispherical plasma bubble, maintaining a rigorous 2D cylindrical symmetry. With the laser off, the bubble continues to expand as the field decays; however, the outer field structure becomes distinctly asymmetric, indicating instability. Similarly, localized asymmetry growth in the bubble interior indicates another kind of instability. 2D LASNEX hydrosimulations qualitatively match the cylindrically averaged post-laser plasma evolution but even then it underpredicts the field dissipation rate and of course completely misses the 3D asymmetry growth.     

Effect of the ion slip on the MHD flow of a dusty fluid with heat transfer under exponential decaying pressure gradient

In the present study, the unsteady Hartmann flow with heat transfer of a dusty viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid under the influence of an exponentially decreasing pressure gradient is studied without neglecting the ion slip. The parallel plates are assumed to be porous and subjected to a uniform suction from above and injection from below while the fluid is acted upon by an external uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plates. The equations of motion are solved analytically to yield the velocity distributions for both the fluid and dust particles. The energy equations for both the fluid and dust particles including the viscous and Joule dissipation terms, are solved numerically using finite differences to get the temperature distributions.     

含气泡液体中气泡振动的研究

研究了含气泡液体中单个气泡在驱动声场一定情况下的振动过程. 让每次驱动声场作用的时间特别短, 使气泡半径发生微小变化后再将其变化反馈到气泡群对驱动声场的散射作用中去, 从而可以得到某单个气泡周围受气泡散射影响后的声场, 接着再让气泡在该声场作用下做短时振动, 如此反复. 通过这样的方法, 研究了液体中单个气泡的振动情况并对其半径变化进行了数值模拟, 结果发现, 在液体中含有大量气泡的情况下, 某单个气泡的振动过程明显区别于液体中只有一个气泡的情况. 由于大量气泡和驱动声场的相互作用, 使气泡半径的变化存在多种不同的振动情况, 在不同的气泡大小和含量的情况下, 半径变化过程分别表现为: 在平衡位置附近振荡的过程; 周期性的空化过程; 一次空化过程后保持某一大小振荡的过程; 增长后维持某一大小振荡的过程等. 所以, 对于含气泡液体中气泡振动的研究, 在驱动声场一定的情况下, 必须考虑气泡含量的因素. 关键词： 含气泡液体 超声空化 散射 数值模拟     

Experimental studies on isentropic efficiency of a nonequilibriumMHD disk generator

Isentropic efficiency of the nonequilibrium MHD power generator was studied by a shock tube driven disk generator. Cesium seeded helium was used as a working gas. From the measurements of Faraday current density distribution, it was possible to estimate the general tendency of Joule dissipation in the generator. The Joule dissipation did not decrease due to the occurrence of nonuniformity of the plasma when external load resistance was low, although it decreased with the decrease in the load resistance when the load resistance was high. The electrical efficiency increased with the increase in applied magnetic flux density. This fact is thought to be caused by high Hall parameter and the stabilization of the plasma due to high degree of seed ionization     

Influence of lubricant on the motion of a body in an electromagnetic railgun accelerator. III. Temperature distribution in the armature, rail, and liquid film

The effect of a conducting liquid lubricant on the heating of a rail and projectile (armature) is studied theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that both the Joule and friction heating of the accelerated body can be reduced significantly by using resistive liquid films. When the contact resistance of the film is high, its temperature is determined by two competing processes: Joule heating and heat removal by the moving film. As a result, the dependence of the film temperature on the magnetic Reynolds number, its thickness, and its resistance is nonmonotonic. In the limiting case where the velocity skin effect is completely suppressed and the magnetic Reynolds number is sufficiently high, the film temperature is extremely low. In intermediate cases, however, the film temperature can turn out to be rather high and exceed the melting point of the armature. Viscous dissipation in the liquid film has no significant effect on the temperature of the rail-armature interface until the melting of the armature is determined by Joule heating within it. In the case where the velocity skin effect is strongly suppressed, viscous dissipation along with Joule heating in the resistive film can become one of the major factors controlling the attainable velocity of bodies in railguns.

Dynamics of magnetic vortices

The canonical conservation laws of linear and angular momentum in the ferromagnetic continuum have been known to be plagued by certain ambiguities which are resolved in this paper by constructing conservation laws as suitable moments of a topological density. The resulting canonical structure is then shown to be analogous to that encountered in the familiar Hall effect and explains the unusual features of the dynamics of magnetic vortices without resorting to a detailed solution of the underlying nonlinear equations. Thus, in the absence of external magnetic fields, a magnetic vortex is shown to be spontaneously pinned around a fixed guiding center. The guiding center would drift in a direction perpendicular to an applied magnetic field gradient, provided that dissipation can be neglected, with a Hall velocity that is calculated explicitly in terms of the initial configuration of the vortex. In the presence of dissipation, the vortex undergoes skew deflection at an angle δ ≠ 90° with respect to the applied field gradient. The angle δ is related to the winding number of the vortex according to the well-known golden rule of bubble dynamics.

Thermally Radiative Rotating Magneto-Nanofluid Flow over an Exponential Sheet with Heat Generation and Viscous Dissipation:A Comparative Study

This article examines a mathematical model to analyze the rotating flow of three-dimensional water based nanofluid over a convectively heated exponentially stretching sheet in the presence of transverse magnetic field with additional effects of thermal radiation,Joule heating and viscous dissipation.Silver(Ag),copper(Cu),copper oxide(Cu O),aluminum oxide(Al_2O_3)and titanium dioxide(Ti O_2)have been taken under consideration as the nanoparticles and water(H_2O)as the base fluid.Using suitable similarity transformations,the governing partial differential equations(PDEs)of the modeled problem are transformed to the ordinary differential equations(ODEs).These ODEs are then solved numerically by applying the shooting method.For the particular situation,the results are compared with the available literature.The effects of different nanoparticles on the temperature distribution are also discussed graphically and numerically.It is witnessed that the skin friction coefficient is maximum for silver based nanofluid.Also,the velocity profile is found to diminish for the increasing values of the magnetic parameter.     

Influence of self-heating on the step structures in the current-voltage characteristic of superconducting films

The current-induced transition between the normal and the superconducting state of Sn, In, and Pb films is investigated by varying the helium bath temperature, film thickness, mean free path, and an external magnetic field oriented parallel to the film surface. The experiments show that, farther fromT _c , heating effects play an important role. The heating of the films relative to the helium bath by the liberation of Joule heat in the resistive state and the influence of hotspot formation on the step structures in the current-voltage characteristics of the samples are established with a graphite thermometer. the temperature and the size of the hotspots are determined by the power dissipation, the surface heat transfer, and the heat conduction within the film.     

Magnetic bubble domain phase at the spin reorientation transition of ultrathin Fe/Ni/Cu(001) film

Magnetic domain phases of ultrathin Fe/Ni/Cu(001) are studied using photoemission electron microscopy at the spin reorientation transition (SRT). We observe a new magnetic phase of bubble domains within a narrow SRT region after applying a nearly in-plane magnetic field pulse to the sample. By applying the magnetic field pulse along different directions, we find that the bubble domain phase exists only if the magnetic field direction is less than approximately 10 degrees relative to the sample surface. A temperature dependent measurement shows that the bubble domain phase becomes unstable above 370 K.     

Oscillations of a bubble separated from an air cavity under compression caused by magnetic field in a magnetic fluid

Based on the concept of mapping the free surface geometry of a weakly magnetic medium by the topography of isolines of the magnetic field strength magnitude, the shape of the free surface of a magnetic fluid is studied in the static state at two stages: the initial stage, where an annular magnet is moving toward the surface of the magnetic fluid column in a tube, and at the stage where the air cavity is pressed to the bottom. It is shown that the separation of bubbles from the air cavity occurs at the magnet axis in the immediate vicinity of the magnet symmetry plane. A method and an experimental setup are proposed to investigate possible electromagnetic indication of the size of air bubbles formed in the magnetic fluid. The results of an experimental study of bubble separation from an air cavity held in the magnetic fluid and compressed by the pondermotive forces of the magnetic field are discussed. The results may be of importance for designing a new technique for metering small gas shots to a reactor.
