空心光束的产生及其在现代光学中的应用

近年来,随着激光应用技术的发展,各种中心强度为零的激光束被相继产生,并正在形成一个新颖的所谓空心光束(也称暗中空光束)的大家族。作为激光导管、光学镊子(光钳)和光学扳手,空心光束在微观粒子(如微米粒子、纳米粒子、自由电子、生物细胞和原子或分子等)的精确、无接触操纵和控制中有着广泛的应用。本文将首先给出空心光束的定义及其参数,并详细介绍各种空心光束产生的基本原理、方法及其实验结果。其次,就空心光束的分类及其应用场合进行了简单归纳与讨论。最后就空心光束在微观粒子(包括微米粒子、纳米粒子、生物细胞和自由电子等)的光学囚禁与操控中的应用进行简要综述,并就空心光束的产生与应用及其未来研究与应用前景进行了简短总结与展望。     

Secondary flows and particle centrifugation in slightly tilted rotating pipes

A theoretical analysis is presented of viscous incompressible laminar flow in a pipe which rotates around an axis held at small angle with respect to its symmetry-axis. Analogous to the results of Barua and Benton [1, 2], solutions in closed-form are given for circulatory flows in the cross-sectional plane of the pipe due to Coriolis forces in combination with Hagen-Poiseuille flow through the pipe. The solutions are used to derive analytical expressions for trajectories of solid or liquid particles entrained in the gas and being subject to centrifugation and the said secondary flows. It is shown that despite centrifugation, particles can be locked into circulatory trajectories thus remaining suspended in the gas flowing through the pipe.     

Contaminant concentration on pipe walls following radial jet injection: a computational fluid dynamics approach

A computational fluid dynamics technique has been used to predict the likely concentration levels along a pipe wall of chemicals injected radially from a nozzle. No published empirical data appear to be available, despite the importance of this subject in protecting pipe walls in the vicinity of the dosing point if the chemicals and pipe materials are incompatible. Validation of predictions is by comparison with experimental data for other parameters related to the flow. Where possible, results have been analyzed and presented in dimensionless form so that the article can act as a more generally useful design guide.     

A kinetic formulation for a model coupling free surface and pressurised flows in closed pipes

The aim of this paper is to present a kinetic formulation of a model for the coupling of transient free surface and pressurised flows. Firstly, we revisit the system of Saint-Venant equations for free surface flow: we state some properties of Saint-Venant equations, we propose a kinetic formulation and we verify that this kinetic formulation leads to a Gibbs equilibrium that minimises (in some general case) an energy and preserves the still water steady state. Secondly, we propose a model for pressurised flows in a Saint-Venant-like conservative formulation. We then propose a kinetic formulation and we verify that this kinetic formulation leads to a Gibbs equilibrium that minimises in any case an energy and preserves the still water steady state. Finally, we propose a dual model that couples these two types of flow.     

An Experimental Investigation into the Acoustic Characteristics of Fluid-filled Porous Structures—A Simplified Model of the Human Skull Cancellous Structure

In nature, shape and structure evolve from the struggle for better performance. Often, biological structures combine multiple beneficial properties, making research into mimicking them very complex. Presented here is a summary of observations from a series of experiments performed on a material that closely resembles the human skull bone’s cancellous structure under acoustic loads. Transmission loss through flat and curved open-cell polyurethane foam samples is observed using air and water as the two interstitial fluids. Reduction in strength and stiffness caused by porosity can be recovered partially by filling the interstitial pores with a fluid. The test findings demonstrate the influence of the interstitial fluid on the mechanical characteristics of a porous structure in a quantitative manner. It is also demonstrated that the transmission loss does not depend only on the mass per unit area of the structure as predicted by acoustic mass law. Current tests also demonstrate that the transmission loss is more sensitive to the interstitial fluid than the shape and support conditions of the structures. Test observations thus support the concepts of “moisture-sensitivity of biological design” and the “law of hierarchy in natural design”.     

Navier-Stokes equations with imposed pressure and velocity fluxes

Boundary value problems for Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations with non-standard boundary conditions are studied. Included is the case where the pressure or its normal derivative is given on some part of the boundary or the pressure is given up to a constant but given velocity flux. First, a variational formulation is introduced which is shown to be equivalent to the Stokes equations with the non-standard boundary conditions under consideration. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the variational problem are studied. Secondly, most of the results obtained for the Stokes equations are extended to the case of the Navier-Stokes equations. The final section is devoted to numerical experiments, flows in pipes and physiological flows.
