Formation of vortices in a laminar jet under the action of acoustic field

Results on visual investigation of a structure of a round minijet under the action of an acoustic field are presented. Characteristic features of the laminar jet structure in the acoustic field were revealed from the data of video and photo records of a flow picture. In the flow we observed characteristic large-scale vortex structures and violent turbulent mixing zones.We revealed formation of vortex structures in a laminar jet under acoustic field and an oscillating jet flow regime at the outlet from the pipe 1.35 mm in diameter.     

Thermodynamical Stability of Hagedorn and Radiation Regimes in Closed String Gas Cosmology

In this paper, we investigate thermal equilibrium in string gas cosmology which is dominated by closed string. We consider two interesting regimes, Hagedorn and radiation regimes. We find that for short strings in small radius of Hagedorn regime very large amount of energy requested to have thermal equilibrium but for long strings in such system a few energy is sufficient to have thermal equilibrium. On the other hand in the large radius of Hagedorn regime, which pressure is not negligible, we obtain a relation between the energy and pressure in terms of cosmic time which is satisfied by thermal equilibrium. Then we discuss about radiation regime and find that in all cases there is thermal equilibrium.     

Quasiteilchen und Eigenwerte des Lippmann-Schwinger-Kerns

In the following we investigate several properties of the eigenvalues of the Lippmann-Schwinger kernel for potentials of Yukawa-type. In particular we derive the analogue of the Dashen-Frautschi formula, which was recently used for the calculation of the neutron-proton mass difference, and extend the result to resonances. We then use the eigenvalues of the Lippmann-Schwinger kernel to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the quotient of two Jost functions (corresponding to distinct potentialsV ₁,V ₂) to be the Jost function corresponding to the difference of their potentials (V ₁-V ₂). The result leads to separable potentials. Finally we examine the classical analogues of the vertex and wave-function renormalization constants and discuss the relationship betweenWeinberg's theory of quasiparticles andBohr's compound model of the atomic nucleous.     

Probing shear-band initiation in metallic glasses

In?situ acoustic emission monitoring is shown to capture the initiation of shear bands in metallic glasses. A model picture is inferred from stick-slip flow in granular media such that the origin of acoustic emission is attributed to a mechanism of structural dilatation. By employing a quantitative approach, the critical volume change associated with shear-band initiation in a metallic glass is estimated to be a few percent only. This result agrees with typical values of excess free volume found in the supercooled liquid regime near the glass transition temperature.     

Acoustooptic interaction in two-dimensional photonic crystals: Efficiency of Bragg diffraction

We obtain equations for the Bragg regime of acoustooptic diffraction of light in two-dimensional photonic crystals. We determine applicability conditions of the single-wave approximation, in which it is sufficient to take into account only one Fourier component of each of Bloch waves involved in the acoustooptic interaction. In the single-wave approximation, we obtain formulas that make it possible to estimate the acoustooptic figures of merit of a photonic crystal. We show that, in a photonic crystal, higher acoustooptic figures of merit can be achieved than in the materials that make up the crystal.     

Optical filaments and optical bullets in dispersive nonlinear media

We have investigated the evolution of picosecond and femtosecond optical pulses governed by the amplitude vector equation in the optical and UV domains. We have written this equation in different coordinate frames, namely, in the laboratory frame, the Galilean frame, and the moving-in-time frame and have normalized it for the cases of different and equal transverse and longitudinal sizes of optical pulses or modulated optical waves. For optical pulses with a small transverse size and a large longitudinal size (optical filaments), we obtain the well-known paraxial approximation in all the coordinate frames, while for optical pulses with relatively equal transverse and longitudinal sizes (so-called light bullets), we obtain new non-paraxial nonlinear amplitude equations. In the case of optical fields with low intensity, we have reduced the nonlinear amplitude vector equations governing the light-bullet evolution to the linear amplitude equations. We have solved the linear equations using the method of Fourier transform. An unexpected new result is the relative stability of light bullets and the significant decrease in the diffraction enlargement of light bullets with respect to the case of long pulses in the linear propagation regime.     

Viscoelastic suppression of gravity-driven counterflow instability

Attempts to achieve "top kill" of flowing oil wells by pumping dense drilling "muds," i.e., slurries of dense minerals, from above will fail if the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the gravity-driven counterflow produces turbulence that breaks up the denser fluid into small droplets. Here we estimate the droplet size to be submillimeter for fast flows and suggest the addition of a shear-thickening or viscoelastic polymer to suppress turbulence. We find in laboratory experiments a variety of new physical effects for a viscoelastic shear-thickening liquid in a gravity-driven counterstreaming flow. There is a progression from droplet formation to complete turbulence suppression at the relevant high velocities. Thick descending columns show a viscoelastic analogue of the viscous buckling instability. Thinner streams form structures resembling globules on a looping filament.     

Simulations of the scattering of sound waves at a sudden area expansion

The scattering of acoustic plane waves at a sudden area expansion in a flow duct is simulated using the linearized Navier–Stokes equations. The aim is to validate the numerical methodology for the flow duct area expansion, and to investigate the influence of the downstream mean flow on the acoustic scattering properties. A comparison of results from numerical simulations, analytical theory and experiments is presented. It is shown that the results for the acoustic scattering obtained by the different methods gives excellent agreement. For the end correction, the numerical approach is found superior to the analytical model at frequencies where coupling of acoustic and hydrodynamic waves is significant. A study with two additional flow profiles, representing a non-expanding jet with an infinitely thin shear layer, and an immediate expansion, shows that a realistic jet is needed to accurately capture the acoustic–hydrodynamic interaction. A study with several different artificial jet expansions concluded that the acoustic scattering is not significantly dependent on the mean flow profile below the area expansion. The constructed flow profiles give reasonable results although the reflection and transmission coefficients are underestimated, and this deviation seems to be rather independent of frequency for the parameter regime studied. The prediction of the end correction for the constructed mean flow profiles deviates significantly from that for the realistic profile in a Strouhal number regime representing strong coupling between acoustic and hydrodynamic waves. It is concluded that the constructed flow profiles lack the ability to predict the loss of energy to hydrodynamic waves, and that this effect increases with increasing Mach number.     

Detection of non-Gaussian fluctuations in a quantum point contact

An experimental study of current fluctuations through a tunable transmission barrier, a quantum point contact, is reported. We measure the probability distribution function of transmitted charge with precision sufficient to extract the first three cumulants. To obtain the intrinsic quantities, corresponding to voltage-biased barrier, we employ a procedure that accounts for the response of the external circuit and the amplifier. The third cumulant, obtained with a high precision, is found to agree with the prediction for the statistics of transport in the non-Poissonian regime.     

Hybrid tool for quickly estimating the radiated acoustic power from a vibrating structure in a multiple-source environment

This paper presents a new hybrid method for predicting overestimating and underestimating indicators of the acoustic power radiated by a vibrating surface even in the presence of other surrounding acoustic sources. This method is applicable to plates or low curvature surfaces radiating in open acoustic fields. The method is hybrid in the sense that the vibration field is measured and the parietal pressure field is predicted considering two extreme academic cases "baffled" and "unbaffled." Many simplifications are made and justified in order to save running time. The method is successfully validated in comparison with experimental results on both laboratory and real life structures. This method has led to a quick tool, allowing one to obtain a good approximation of the radiated power in a few minutes. It provides a natural extension of a classical analyzer for vibroacoustics engineering.     

Focusing of time-reversed reflections

Recently time-reversal techniques have emerged as a new, important and fascinating discipline within wave propagation. Many of the problems involved can best be understood, analysed and optimized based on a random field model for the medium. Here we discuss stable refocusing of second-order time-reversed reflections. This phenomenon may appear as surprising at first. However, we show how it can be understood in very simple terms viewing the wavefield as a stochastic process. We give sufficient conditions on Green's function of the propagation problem for the phenomenon to happen. In particular we discuss acoustic wave propagation in the regime of weak random medium fluctuations and explicitly give the derivation of stable refocusing in this case, illustrating it with numerical examples.     

Simultaneous effects of magnetic field and space porosity on compressible Maxwell fluid transport induced by a surface acoustic wave in a microchannel

Peristaltic motion induced by a surface acoustic wave of a viscous, compressible and electrically conducting Maxwell fluid in a confined parallel-plane microchannel through a porous medium is investigated in the presence of a constant magnetic field. The slip velocity is considered and the problem is discussed only for the free pumping case. A perturbation technique is employed to analyze the problem in terms of a small amplitude ratio. The phenomenon of a “backward flow” is found to exist in the center and at the boundaries of the channel. In the second order approximation, the net axial velocity is calculated for various values of the fluid parameters. Finally, the effects of the parameters of interest on the mean axial velocity, the reversal flow, and the perturbation function are discussed and shown graphically. We find that in the non-Newtonian regime, there is a possibility of a fluid flow in the direction opposite to the propagation of the traveling wave. This work is the most general model of peristalsis created to date with wide-ranging applications in biological, geophysical and industrial fluid dynamics.     

Incompressible Limits and Propagation of Acoustic Waves in Large Domains with Boundaries

We study the incompressible limit for the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system on unbounded domains with boundaries, supplemented with the complete slip boundary condition for the velocity field. Using an abstract result of Tosio Kato we show that the energy of acoustic waves decays to zero on any compact subset of the physical space. This in turn implies strong convergence of the velocity field to its limit in the incompressible regime.     

On some properties of linear and nonlinear waves in pair-ion plasmas

It is pointed out that the observation of the electrostatic ion acoustic wave frequency can be a suitable check to determine whether the produced plasma is a pure pair-ion plasma or whether it comprises some concentration of electrons. A theoretical model for the pair-ion plasma dynamics is presented along with a new electrostatic mode which can exist only in such systems. It can become unstable in the presence of shear flow and it can give rise to vortex structures in the nonlinear regime. The possibility of shocks and solitons, due to nonlinear drift waves in a pair-ion plasma comprising electrons, is also discussed. The relevance of this investigation to both laboratory and astrophysical plasmas is pointed out.     

Pseudo-schwarzschild spherical accretion as a classical black hole analogue

We demonstrate that a spherical accretion onto astrophysical black holes, under the influence of Newtonian or various post-Newtonian pseudo-Schwarzschild gravitational potentials, may constitute a concrete example of classical analogue gravity naturally found in the Universe. We analytically calculate the corresponding analogue Hawking temperature as a function of the minimum number of physical parameters governing the accretion flow. We study both the polytropic and the isothermal accretion. We show that unlike in a general relativistic spherical accretion, analogue white hole solutions can never be obtained in such post-Newtonian systems. We also show that an isothermal spherical accretion is a remarkably simple example in which the only one information–the temperature of the fluid, is sufficient to completely describe an analogue gravity system. For both types of accretion, the analogue Hawking temperature may become higher than the usual Hawking temperature. However, the analogue Hawking temperature for accreting astrophysical black holes is considerably lower compared with the temperature of the accreting fluid.     

Hybrid passive/active absorbers for flow ducts

A new type of acoustic liner developed for broadband noise reduction in flow ducts is considered in this paper. It combines passive absorbent properties of a porous layer and active control at its rear face. The complete design procedure of this hybrid passive/active liner is developed here. The passive part is first considered with the determination of a suitable porous material and the cut-off frequency separating the active low frequency regime from the passive high frequency one. The control system is then presented: a digital adaptive feedback control is performed independently cell by cell, allowing an easy subsequent increase of the liner surface. The entire optimization process has been successfully applied to a laboratory flow duct: both predictions and measurements show the interest of the hybrid liner to reduce the noise radiation.     

Inelastic shadowing effects in multiple scattering

The projectile-nucleon scattering amplitudes used as input into multiple scattering theories of projectile-nucleus scattering naturally include the effects of coupling to inelastic (i.e., production) channels. We employ a multichannel separable potential to describe the projectile-nucleon interaction and show that within the fixed nucleon framework we can obtain the nuclear elastic scattering amplitude. This includes terms outside the conventional formalisms, corresponding to intermediate propagation in the inelastic channels both above and below inelastic threshold. We refer to this as inelastic shadowing. In a two-channel approximation, we show that knowledge of the projectile-nucleon elastic scattering phase shifts plus specification of the inelastic threshold energy are sufficient to determine the off-shell coupled-channel transition matrix, implying that the nuclear amplitude can be calculated within this model without any detailed information about the inelastic channels. We study this solution quantitatively for some model problems and for pion scattering, with the general result that inelastic shadowing can be significant whenever the elementary interaction has important channel coupling. For pion scattering in the energy regime characterized by strongly absorptive resonances, we find, for example, that the effect of inelastic shadowing is much more important than that due to two-nucleon correlations.     

Direct evidence for the breakdown of the N = 8 shell closure in 12Be

We derive the formalism to obtain spatial distributions of collisional correlation times for macroscopic particles undergoing granular flow from pulsed gradient spin echo nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion data. This is demonstrated with an example of axial motion in the shear flow regime of a 3D granular flow in a horizontal rotating cylinder at one rotation rate.     

Measures of chaos and equipartition in integrable and nonintegrable lattices

We have simulated numerically the behavior of the one-dimensional, periodic FPU-alpha and Toda lattices to optical and acoustic initial excitations of small--but finite and large amplitudes. For the small-through-intermediate amplitudes (small initial energy per particle) we find nearly recurrent solutions, where the acoustic result is due to the appearance of solitons and where the optical result is due to the appearance of localized breather-like packets. For large amplitudes, we find complex-but-regular behavior for the Toda lattice and "stochastic" or chaotic behaviors for the alpha lattice. We have used the well-known diagnostics: Localization parameter; Lyapounov exponent, and slope of a linear fit to linear normal mode energy spectra. Space-time diagrams of local particle energy and a wave-related quantity, a discretized Riemann invariant are also shown. The discretized Riemann invariants of the alpha lattice reveal soliton and near-soliton properties for acoustic excitations. Except for the localization parameter, there is a clear separation in behaviors at long-time between integrable and nonintegrable systems.
