雪的热辐射偏振特性定量研究

雪作为衡量全球气候变化有效的信息源之一,其热辐射存在偏振特性,且这一偏振特性会受到多因素的影响。为了定量分析单一因素及其交互作用对雪的热辐射偏振特性的影响,在传统分析的基础上,设计了三因素三水平的正交实验。结果表明,探测角、方位角和波段均对雪的热辐射偏振特性产生影响;探测角对雪的热辐射偏振度产生显著的影响;探测角与其他两因素的交互作用以及波段均对雪的热辐射偏振度产生显著影响;方位角对雪的热辐射偏振度有一定的影响,而它与波段的交互作用不会对雪的热辐射偏振度产生影响。因此,在研究中,既要考虑单因素本身对雪的热辐射偏振特性的影响,还要考虑交互作用的影响。

The interaction between radiation and the Linen of Turin

In this paper, we study the possible interactions between radiation and the Linen of Turin. The work is in line with the research focused, by scholars and scientists, on the detection mechanism of the Shroud body image formation. We have analysed the interactions between thermal, UV and particle radiation with the linen fabric. The performed analysis shows that any hypothesis of the Shroud body image formation by radiation must be rejected. Only the background was produced by the action of electromagnetic radiation.     

Prediction of effective stagnant thermal conductivities of porous materials at high temperature by the generalized self-consistent method

The generalized self-consistent method is developed to deal with porous materials at high temperature, accounting for thermal radiation. An exact closed form formula of the local effective thermal conductivity is obtained by solving Laplace's equation, and a good approximate formula with uncoupled conductive and radiative effects is given. A comparison with available experimental data and theoretical predictions demonstrates the accuracy and efficiency of the present formula. Numerical examples provide a better understanding of interesting interaction phenomena of pores in heat transfer. It is found that the local effective thermal conductivity divides into two parts. One, attributed to conduction, is independent of pore radius for a fixed porosity and, furthermore, is independent of temperature (actually, it is approximately independent of the temperature) if it is non-dimensionalized by the thermal conductivity of the matrix. The other is due to thermal radiation in pores and strongly depends on the temperature and pore radius. The radiation effect can not be neglected at high temperature and in the case of relatively large pores.     

Instantaneous Radiation Energy Flux and Radiation Power Near the Event Horizon of Slowly Changing Vaidya Black Hole

By the thin film model of the black hole and the assumption of the local thermal equilibrium, the instantaneous radiation energy flux and radiation power of the slowly changing Vaidya black hole have been studied. The result has been obtained that the thermal radiation of the Vaidya black hole satisfies the generalized Stefan-Boltzmann law. When the cut-off distance and the thin film thickness are both fixed, the instantaneous radiation energy flux of the scalar field near the event horizon of the Vaidya black hole is not only related to the black hole mass, but also to the rate of the change of its event horizon and the average effusion velocity of the radiation particles in the thin film. While its instantaneous radiation power is related to the rate of the change of the event horizon and the average radial effusion velocity of the radiation particles in the thin film. These results indicate that the gravitational field around the black hole and the change of its event horizon will both affect the thermal radiation of the black hole.     

Thermal cellular automata fluids

The concepts of local temperature and local thermal equilibrium are introduced in the context of lattice gas cellular automata (LGGAs) whose dynamics conserves energy. Green-Kubo expressions for thermal transport coefficients, in particular for the heat conductivity, are derived in a form, equivalent to those for continuous fluids. All thermal transport coefficients are evaluated in Boltzmann approximation as thermal averages of matrix elements of the inverse Boltzmann collision operator, fully analogous to the results for continuous systems, and fully model-independent. The collision operator is expressed in terms of transition probabilities between in- and out-states. Staggered diffusivities arising from spuriously conserved quantities in LGCAs are also calculated. Examples of models with either cubic or hexagonal symmetries are discussed, where particles may or may not have internal energies.     

A concept of multi-scale modeling for radiative heat transfer in particle polydispersions

To take the local thermal nonequilibrium between particles and the nonuniformity of temperature within a single particle into account, a concept of multi-scale modeling of radiative transfer is presented. Particles are considered to interact with thermal radiation on both micro-scale of a single particle and meso-scale of a particle cell to produce radiative source term at the local or meso-scale level of a particle cell for the modeling of radiative transfer at macro-scale of overall particle system. The accurate modeling of radiative transfer in particle polydispersions are related to the modeling of radiative transfer in following three different scales: macro-scale of the overall particle system, meso-scale of particle cell, and micro-scale of single particle. Two examples are taken to show the necessity of multi-scale modeling for radiative transfer in particle polydispersions. The results show that omitting local thermal nonequilibrium and nonuniformity will result in errors for the solution of radiative heat transfer to some extent, and the multi-scale modeling is necessary for the radiative transfer in particle system with large local thermal nonequilibrium and nonuniformity.     

A transported probability density function/photon Monte Carlo method for high-temperature oxy–natural gas combustion with spectral gas and wall radiation

A computational fluid dynamics model for high-temperature oxy–natural gas combustion is developed and exercised. The model features detailed gas-phase chemistry and radiation treatments (a photon Monte Carlo method with line-by-line spectral resolution for gas and wall radiation – PMC/LBL) and a transported probability density function (PDF) method to account for turbulent fluctuations in composition and temperature. The model is first validated for a 0.8 MW oxy–natural gas furnace, and the level of agreement between model and experiment is found to be at least as good as any that has been published earlier. Next, simulations are performed with systematic model variations to provide insight into the roles of individual physical processes and their interplay in high-temperature oxy–fuel combustion. This includes variations in the chemical mechanism and the radiation model, and comparisons of results obtained with versus without the PDF method to isolate and quantify the effects of turbulence–chemistry interactions and turbulence–radiation interactions. In this combustion environment, it is found to be important to account for the interconversion of CO and CO₂, and radiation plays a dominant role. The PMC/LBL model allows the effects of molecular gas radiation and wall radiation to be clearly separated and quantified. Radiation and chemistry are tightly coupled through the temperature, and correct temperature prediction is required for correct prediction of the CO/CO₂ ratio. Turbulence–chemistry interactions influence the computed flame structure and mean CO levels. Strong local effects of turbulence–radiation interactions are found in the flame, but the net influence of TRI on computed mean temperature and species profiles is small. The ultimate goal of this research is to simulate high-temperature oxy–coal combustion, where accurate treatments of chemistry, radiation and turbulence–chemistry–particle–radiation interactions will be even more important.     

Geometric doppler effect: spin-split dispersion of thermal radiation

A geometric Doppler effect manifested by a spin-split dispersion relation of thermal radiation is observed. A spin-dependent dispersion splitting was obtained in a structure consisting of a coupled thermal antenna array. The effect is due to a spin-orbit interaction resulting from the dynamics of the surface waves propagating along the structure whose local anisotropy axis is rotated in space. The observation of the spin-symmetry breaking in thermal radiation may be utilized for manipulation of spontaneous or stimulated emission.

Electron-heavy particle collisional relaxation in strong radiation fields

The behaviour of the electron relaxation time in a strong radiation field is considered for various power-law dependent interactions. It is shown that for Coulomb and dipole interactions, the electron mean free time is significantly increased when the electron oscillation energy in the field becomes comparable with its thermal energy. As a result appreciable change in the transport coefficients may be expected under these conditions.     

How Does van der Waals Confinement Enhance Phonon Transport?

We study the mechanism of van der Waals(vdW)interactions on phonon transport in atomic scale,which would boost developments in heat management and energy conversion.Commonly,the vdW interactions are regarded as a hindrance in phonon transport.Here we propose that the vdW confinement can enhance phonon transport.Through molecular dynamics simulations,it is realized that the vdW confinement is able to make more than two-fold enhancement on thermal conductivity of both polyethylene single chain and graphene nanoribbon.The quantitative analyses of morphology,local vdW potential energy and dynamical properties are carried out to reveal the underlying physical mechanism.It is found that the confined vdW potential barriers reduce the atomic thermal displacement magnitudes,leading to less phonon scattering and facilitating thermal transport.Our study offers a new strategy to modulate the phonon transport.     

Monte Carlo simulation of radiative heat transfer and turbulence interactions in methane/air jet flames

A Photon Monte Carlo method combined with a composition PDF method is employed to model radiative heat transfer in combustion applications. Turbulence-radiation interactions (TRIs) can be fully taken into account using the proposed method. Sandia's Flame D and artificial flames derived from it are simulated and good agreement with experimental data is found. The effects of different TRI components are investigated. It is shown that, to predict the radiation field accurately, emission TRI must be taken into account, while, as expected, absorption TRI is negligible in the considered nonsooting methane/air jet flames if the total radiation quantities are concerned, but non-negligible for evaluation of local quantities. The influence of radiation on the turbulent flow field is also discussed.     

Space-time analysis of the Mössbauer radiation scattering

Microscopic theory of the Mössbauer effect is formulated. Nuclei interactions with local magnetic fields and lattice vibrations are taken into account. The analysis is based on the precisely solvable quantum mechanical model of Mössbauer scattering. The process of Mössbauer photon emission and its subsequent scattering on one and two nuclei are analyzed in detail. It is shown that some phenomenological concepts proposed for explanation of fine experiments with 109 Ag nuclei do not obtain microscopic justification.     

Deconstructing Classical Water Models at Interfaces and in Bulk

Using concepts from perturbation and local molecular field theories of liquids we divide the potential of the SPC/E water model into short and long ranged parts. The short ranged parts define a minimal reference network model that captures very well the structure of the local hydrogen bond network in bulk water while ignoring effects of the remaining long ranged interactions. This deconstruction can provide insight into the different roles that the local hydrogen bond network, dispersion forces, and long ranged dipolar interactions play in determining a variety of properties of SPC/E and related classical models of water. Here we focus on the anomalous behavior of the internal pressure and the temperature dependence of the density of bulk water. We further utilize these short ranged models along with local molecular field theory to quantify the influence of these interactions on the structure of hydrophobic interfaces and the crossover from small to large scale hydration behavior. The implications of our findings for theories of hydrophobicity and possible refinements of classical water models are also discussed.     

Double-diffusive radiative magnetic mixed convective slip flow with Biot and Richardson number effects

This paper investigates combined heat and mass transfer by mixed magneto-convective flow of an electrically conducting flow along a moving radiating vertical flat plate with hydrodynamic slip and thermal convective boundary conditions. The governing transport equations are converted into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations with prescribed boundary conditions using similarity variables developed by Lie group theory. The transformed nondimensional boundary value problem is then solved numerically with MAPLE13 quadrature. Excellent correlation with previous nonmagnetic, no-slip studies is achieved. Surface shear stress function and local Nusselt number (heat transfer gradient at the wall) are increased with Richardson number, whereas local Sherwood number is found to initially decrease then subsequently increase. The “thermally thick” scenario (Biot number > 0.1) is investigated and increasing Biot number is observed to enhance shear stress function (skin friction), local Nusselt number, and local Sherwood number. Increasing thermal radiation flux increases thermal boundary layer thickness as does increasing the magnetic field effect. Increasing hydrodynamic slip parameter reduces skin friction but enhances local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. The study has applications in high-temperature polymeric synthesis and magnetic field flow control.     

Minimal length scales for the existence of local temperature

We review a recent approach to determine the minimal spatial length scales on which local temperature exists. After mentioning an experiment where such considerations are of relevance, we first discuss the precise definition of the existence of local temperature and its physical relevance. The approach to calculate the length scales in question considers homogenous chains of particles with nearest-neighbour interactions. The entire chain is assumed to be in a thermal equilibrium state and it is analysed when such an equilibrium state at the same time exists for a local part of it. The result yields estimates for real materials, the liability of which is discussed in the sequel. We finally consider a possibility to detect the existence or non-existence of a local thermal state in experiment.     

Mössbauer spectroscopy at ISOLDE

Applications of radioactive ion beams produced at the ISOLDE facility for Mössbauer studies of probe atoms in solids are presented. Examples are given for a site-selective incorporation on different substitutional sites in compound semiconductors by ion implantation and thermal annealing of the radiation damage resulting from the implantation. The interactions of the probe atoms with lattice defects created in the implantation process have been studied to elucidate likely causes for the site-selective implantation mechanism. The technique has enabled to determine the electronic densities at electrically active substitutional probe atoms, having shallow donor or acceptor states as well as states deeper in the band gap. The results are in good agreement with theoretical results from local density calculations. Methodological aspects of the Mössbauer emission techniques employed at ISOLDE are compared to alternative accelerator based techniques and the consequences of the application of different precursor isotopes to the ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer isotope are treated in detail for ⁵⁷Fe in silicon. Finally, results obtained for the magnetic hyperfine interactions of 5 sp impurities associated with vacancies in ferromagnetic metals are discussed.
