The movement and thermal history of an aluminium particle in a RF plasma generator

In previous studies on plasma-particle interaction, as far as we know, the rf plasma flow and temperature fields are all simulated by the non-self-consistent one-dimensional electromagnetic (1-D EM) field model. In the present paper, the complete self-consistent two-dimensional electromagnetic (2-D EM) field model incorporating the axial Lorentz force component, which is neglected in the 1-D model, is firstly adopted to calculate the aluminium particle trajectory and thermal history in atmospheric rf Ar plasma with the particle evaporation effect included. The crucial effect of reverse flow within the coil region on the particle trajectory is discovered and the results show that the 2-D EM field model must be adopted instead of the 1-D model when the plasma-particle interaction is studied. The effect of carrier gas flux on the particle movement and heating are also studied, resulting in some useful conclusions for both plasma theory and application. recommended by Prof. Wu Chengkang The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China

地表温度对颗粒跃移轨迹的影响

为了研究由地表温度变化引起的向上的垂向气流对沙粒跃移运动的影响,本文给出了考虑近地表温度变化和水平来流风场作用下的沙粒的跃移运动。在定量给出不同时刻的近地表温度和垂向风速的基础上,计算了由于太阳辐射所引起的近地表层垂向气流对沙粒跃移运动的影响,发现:垂向风速在午后可达到1.5m/s并使得沙粒跃移轨迹的最大高度和长度分别增加55.56%和73.68%;同时,与不考虑温度效应的情况不同的是,沙粒跃移轨道最大高度将随粒径变化。     

Modeling the Formation of Fluid Banks During Counter-Current Flow in Porous Media

Fluid banks sometimes form during gravity-driven counter-current flow in certain natural reservoir processes. Prediction of flow performance in such systems depends on our understanding of the bank-formation process. Traditional modeling methods using a single capillary pressure curve based on a final saturation distribution have successfully simulated counter-current flow without fluid banks. However, it has been difficult to simulate counter-current flow with fluid banks. In this paper, we describe the successful saturation-history-dependent modeling of counter-current flow experiments that result in fluid banks. The method used to simulate the experiments takes into account hysteresis in capillary pressure and relative permeabilities. Each spatial element in the model follows a distinct trajectory on the capillary pressure versus saturation map, which consists of the capillary hysteresis loop and the associated capillary pressure scanning curves. The new modeling method successfully captured the formation of the fluid banks observed in the experiments, including their development with time. Results show that bank formation is favored where the p_c-versus-saturation slope is low. Experiments documented in the literature that exhibited formation of fluid banks were also successfully simulated.     

Electronic quantum trajectories in a quantum dot

This article gives a quantum‐trajectory demonstration of the observed electric, magnetic, and thermal effects on a quantum dot with circular or elliptic shape. By applying quantum trajectory method to a quantum dot, we reveal the quantum‐mechanical meanings of the classical concepts of backscattering and commensurability, which were used in the literature to explain the peak locations of the magnetoresistance curve. Under the quantum commensurability condition, electronic quantum trajectories in a circular quantum dot are shown to be stationary like a standing wave, whose presence increases the electrical resistance. A hidden quantum effect called magnetic stagnation is discovered and shown to be the main cause of the observed jumps of the magnetoresistance curve. Quantum trajectories in an elliptic quantum dot are found to be chaotic and an index of chaos called Lyapunov exponent is proposed to measure the irregularity of the various quantum trajectories. It is shown that the response of the Lyapunov exponent to the applied magnetic field captures the main features of the experimental magnetoresistance curve. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quantum monodromy and molecular spectroscopy

Monodromy (or once round) is a classical property of integrable dynamical systems in two or more degrees of freedom, which imposes a characteristic pattern on the quantum mechanical eigenvalue distribution. This article explains the connection by showing how the presence of an isolated critical point of the Hamiltonian leads to a classical action function that is multi-valued with respect to energy and angular momentum. Consequently, by the Bohr correspondence principle between actions and quantum numbers, there can be no uniquely defined global system of quantum numbers. Implications for the interpretation of highly excited molecular spectra are brought out by reference to quasi-linear molecules, which transfer one degree of freedom from rotational to vibrational motion during the excitation process. Emphasis is placed on the simplest examples, while a brief resumé of the wide scope of the quantum monodromy phenomenon is given in the final section.     

Parallel computation of two-point boundary-value problems via particular solutions

Nonlinear two-point boundary-value problems (TPBVP) can be reduced to the iterative solution of a sequence of linear problems by means of quasilinearization techniques. Therefore, the efficient solution of linear problems is the key to the efficient solution of nonlinear problems.Among the techniques available for solving linear two-point boundary-value problems, the method of particular solutions (MPS) is particularly attractive in that it employs only one differential system, the original nonhomogeneous system, albeit with different initial conditions. This feature of MPS makes it ideally suitable for implementation on parallel computers in that the following requirements are met: the computational effort is subdivided into separate tasks (particular solutions) assigned to the different processors; the tasks have nearly the same size; there is little intercommunication between the tasks.For the TPBVP, the speedup achievable is ofO(n), wheren is the dimension of the state vector, hence relatively modest for the differential systems of interest in trajectory optimization and guidance. This being the case, we transform the TPBVP into a multi-point boundary-value problem (MPBVP) involvingm time subintervals, withm–1 continuity conditions imposed at the interface of contiguous subintervals. For the MPBVP, the speedup achievable is ofO(mn), hence substantially higher than that achievable for the TPBVP. It reduces toO(m) if the parallelism is implemented only in the time domain and not in the state domain.A drawback of the multi-point approach is that it requires the solution of a large linear algebraic system for the constants of the particular solutions. This drawback can be offset by exploiting the particular nature of the interface conditions: if the vector of constants for the first subinterval is known, the vector of constants for the subsequent subintervals can be obtained with linear transformations. Using decomposition techniques together with the discrete version of MPS, the size of the linear algebraic system for the multi-point case becomes the same as that for the two-point case.Numerical tests on the Intel iPSC/860 computer show that substantial speedup can be achieved via parallel algorithms vis-a-vis sequential algorithms. Therefore, the present technique has considerable interest for real-time trajectory optimization and guidance.Dedicated to the Memory of Professor Jan M.
