Electronic energy of the <Superscript>1</Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript>a</Subscript> level of supersonic jet-cooled indole

The dependence of the fluorescence polarization degree on frequency upon excitation into the first and second electronic bands of jet-cooled indole has been studied. A structured band consisting of a number of lines rather than a single line has been recorded in the spectral range of the electronic ¹A′-¹L_a-transition. The appearance of the lines is interpreted as the result of nonadiabatic vibronic interaction between the electronic ¹L_a-state and vibronicl states of the indole molecule ¹L_b-level. The energy of the unperturbed electronic ¹L_a-level and the orientation of dipole moments near the ¹A′-¹L_a-transition have been found. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 75, No. 3, pp. 319–323, May–June, 2008.     

Isotope effects in the infrared spectra of the polar and nonpolar isomers of N2O dimer

The rotationally resolved spectra of ¹⁵N¹⁵N¹⁶O dimer for the polar and nonpolar isomers are studied in the region of the N-N stretching fundamental of the monomer (∼2150 cm⁻¹) using a rapid-scan tunable diode laser spectrometer to probe a pulsed supersonic jet expansion. These spectra are very similar to the corresponding spectra of the normal species, (¹⁴N¹⁴N¹⁶O)₂. Structural parameters and vibrational shifts obtained here are compared with those of the normal species and ab initio values. These results confirm that the nonpolar isomer has a centrosymmetric slipped-antiparallel structure while the polar isomer consists of two slipped and (approximately) parallel monomer units.

水下超声速气体射流诱导尾空泡实验研究

两相射流与空化问题对采用喷气推进的水下高速运载器而言不可避免.本文通过水洞实验,探究了回转体在水流场中由亚声速及超声速气体射流诱导形成尾空泡的形态特征,发现了四种不同类型的诱导尾空泡,并探讨了相应的形成机理和控制条件.通过高速图像采集及数字处理技术,得到了不同弗劳德数和通气流量系数下诱导尾空泡的瞬时及时间平均形态.通过气体射流数值解及射流耦合空泡闭合理论模型与实验图像的对比分析,得到如下结论:根据形态特征,将观察到的射流诱导尾空泡划分为泡沫状、完整、部分破碎和脉动泡沫状四类,其中诱导产生的部分破碎尾空泡在形态上与超空泡存在明显差异,脉动泡沫状则为诱导空泡所特有;气体射流受到空泡阻挡发生回射后对应的实际通气流量系数是控制空泡形态的关键;诱导空泡类型转变可以通过Paryshev提出的射流空泡耦合模型预测,但必须在考虑射流空间结构和流动损失的前提下;进行上述修正后,诱导尾空泡形态变化规律与理论模型估算得到的实际流量系数相符合.

Higher-order theory of internal solitary waves with a free surface in two-layer fluid system of finite depth

A higher-order approximation theory of internal solitary waves with a free surface is presented. Using the method of strained co-ordinates, the third-order approximation evolution equation of interface has been found. An analytic expression of the wave velocity is given. The evolution equation has been solved numerically. It is found that the effects of free surface on the shape and wave velocity of solitary wave are O(ε²), and the third-order numerical solutions are closer to experimental data than the first-and second-order solutions.     

MULTIGRID CONVERGENCE ACCELERATION FOR TURBULENT SUPERSONIC FLOWS

A multigrid convergence acceleration technique has been developed for solving both the Navier–Stokes and turbulence transport equations. For turbulence closure a low-Reynolds-number q–ω turbulence model is employed. To enable convergence, the stiff non-linear turbulent source terms have to be treated in a special way. Further modifications to standard multigrid methods are necessary for the resolution of shock waves in supersonic flows. An implicit LU algorithm is used for numerical time integration. Several ramped duct test cases are presented to demonstrate the improvements in performance of the numerical scheme. Cases with strong shock waves and separation are included. It is shown to be very effective to treat fluid and turbulence equations with the multigrid method. A comparison with experimental data demonstrates the accuracy of the q–ω turbulence closure for the simulation of supersonic flows. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Degenerate Cauchy–Goursat problem for 2-D steady isentropic Euler system with van der Waals gas

This study concerns with the existence–uniqueness of local classical sonic-supersonic solution to a degenerate Cauchy–Goursat problem that arises in transonic phenomena. The flow is governed by 2-D steady isentropic Euler system with a polytropic van der Waals gas. The idea of characteristic decomposition has been used to convert the Euler system into a new system involving the angle variables $(𝛩,\mu )$. To overcome the parabolic degeneracy caused at the sonic curve, the partial hodograph transformation and a variety of dependent–independent variables have been introduced to transform the nonlinear system into a linear one with explicit singularity–regularity structure. The uniform convergence of the sequences $(W^{(m)},Z^{(m)})$ has been discussed by employing the mathematical induction. Eventually, the inversion of the solution from partial hodograph plane to the original plane has been established.     

Sensitivity comparison of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry with Cold EI and standard EI

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) with Cold EI is based on interfacing GC and MS with supersonic molecular beams (SMBs) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in SMB in a fly-through ion source (hence the name Cold EI). Cold EI improves all the central performance aspects of GC–MS, and in this paper, we focus on its improvement of signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and limits of detection (LODs). We found that the harder the compound for analysis with standard EI, the greater the Cold EI gain in S/N and LOD. The lower LOD and higher S/N of Cold EI emerge from a few reasons: (a) similar ionization yield as standard EI, (b) enhanced abundance of molecular ions, (c) elimination of vacuum background noise, (d) elimination of ion source-related peak tailing and degradation, (e) ability to lower the elution temperatures via the use of high column flow rates, and (f) greater range of thermally labile and low-volatility compounds that can be analyzed. We demonstrate the superior S/N and lower LOD of Cold EI versus standard EI in a range of compounds, from the simple-to-analyze octafluoronaphthalene all the way to reserpine and an organo-metallic compound that cannot be analyzed by standard EI. These compounds include methyl stearate, cholesterol, n-C₃₂H₆₆, large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioctyl phthalates, diundecyl phthalate, pentachlorophenol, benzidine, lambda-cyhalothrin, and methidathion. The significantly lower Cold EI LODs that can be over 1000 times better than in standard EI further result in far superior response linearity and greater measurement dynamic range.
