Arterial stenosis murmurs: an analysis of flow and pressure fields

The flow field distal to an arterial stenosis is simulated by a confined turbulent jet with moderate Reynolds numbers. The wall pressure fluctuations are related to the momentum fluctuations of the jet by the Poisson equation. A Green's function was derived to satisfy the boundary conditions on a cylindrical surface. This allows the solution of the Poisson's equation to include only a volume integral of the fluctuating momentum, weighed by the relative distance between the source and the sensor. The velocity fluctuations on the jet centerline and at the middle of the shear layer were measured using a laser Doppler anemometer. The wall pressure fluctuations were detected simultaneously by an array of nine wall-mounted pressure transducers along the axial direction. Cross correlation performed between the velocity and pressure fluctuations reveals that the pressure fluctuations were mostly imposed by the passage of turbulent eddies with a convective velocity that is a function of the jet exit velocity. The Strouhal number, defined by the frequency of the passing large-scale structure, is a function of the initial conditions only very close to the jet exit. Further downstream, where the effect of the initial conditions is lost, the Strouhal number approaches a constant irrespect of the jet Reynolds number. The contribution of a source near the jet exit to wall pressure fluctuation near the reattachment is rather weak due to the rapidly decaying weighting function in the axial direction. However, for sources located within one nozzle diameter from the sensor, the cross-spectral density function has a high magnitude with maximum coherence where the pressure spectral changes its slope.     

碟形超声变幅杆的设计

优化超声变幅杆的形状结构可有效地提高水域声场分布和空化区域,提升对水域超声空化效果。通过模拟分析发现传统超声变幅杆在水域中具有声场分布均匀性差、变幅杆端部声压高等特征,不利于声波在水域中传播。基于此,提出并优化设计了一种具有碟形结构的变幅杆,位于变幅杆的最大振幅处的碟形结构,有更大的振动位移;模拟表明其水域声场和声压均衡度显著优于传统变幅杆,铝箔空化腐蚀实验进一步证实了其水域中的声压分布均匀性。同时,实验通过铝箔的空化腐蚀、KI剂量测定及工件表面油渍去除对比了传统变幅杆和碟形变幅杆,分析表明碟形变幅杆所在水域中有较大的空化腐蚀区域,腐蚀速率明显提升,声化学反应速率提高,油渍去除程度增强,说明了设计的碟形变幅杆能够促进空化泡的产生,增加水域空化区域。     

Resonance fluorescence of gaseous chlorine excited with a single longitudinal mode argon ion laser

Resonance fluorescence spectra of gaseous chlorine, excited with a high power single longitudinal mode argon ion laser which was tuned through the lasing profiles of the 4880-, 4965-, 5017-, and 5145-Å lines, were studied. Five progressions of fluorescence lines were found and assigned as the fluorescence of ³⁵Cl³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl³⁷Cl isotopic molecules resonantly excited from v = 0 and 1 levels of the X¹Σ state to the B³Π state. The fluorescence line positions agreed with those of the theoretical calculation within 0.2 cm^?1. The fluorescence intensities were very weak due to the extremely small transition probability between the B³Π and the X¹Σ states.

This paper carries out first principles calculation of the structure,electronic and optical properties of Be x Zn 1 x O alloys based on the density-functional theory for the compositions x = 0.0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0.The lattice constants deviations of alloys obey Vegard’s law well.The Be x Zn 1 x O alloys have the direct band gap(Γ-Γ) character,and the bowing coefficients are less than the available theoretical values.Moreover,it investigates in detail the optical properties(dielectric functions,absorption spectrum and refractive index) of these ternary mixed crystals.The obtained results agree well with the available theoretical and experimental values.

腔内倾斜扰动对正支共焦腔本征模式的影响

针对激光器出光过程中腔内像差扰动带来的光束质量下降问题,分析了正支共焦腔腔内不同位置倾斜扰动对本征模式的影响,采用数值迭代法计算了理想状态及腔内不同位置倾斜扰动状态下的本征模式、相位Zernike像差拟合系数.结果表明：对大小给定的扰动,相位相对敏感性从凸面镜到凹面镜逐渐增加,且腔模倾斜像差增大的同时还将导致离焦、像散等高阶像差的增大,因此作腔内补偿时,应使补偿平面尽可能靠近凹面镜.     

湿空气扩散燃烧火焰结构特性研究

利用二维粒子成像速度仪(PIV)对钝体燃烧器中的甲烷／湿空气扩散燃烧的速度场进行测量,考察其火焰的结构特性及其内部流动状况。通过对湿空气燃烧流场与普通燃烧流场的对比分析表明,湿空气燃烧情况下,两种燃烧状态的火焰(回流燃烧火焰和中心射流主导火焰)相互转换的燃空速度比(γ)值要比普通燃烧的小;湿空气燃烧使得喷嘴后的同流空气的速度降低,空气的回流作用减弱,燃料更容易冲出回流区,火焰的稳定性能变差。
