Systematic studies of fission fragment kinetic energy distributions by Langevin simulations

Fission fluctuation-dissipation dynamics of heavy nuclei has been studied using Langevin Monte Carlo simulations. The covariant form of the fission transport equation and the coefficients related to it are investigated. To learn about the influence of the dynamics from the ground state to the saddle point on the kinetic energy distributions we have studied various systems and compared the calculations both starting from the ground state and from the saddle point. Both the mean total kinetic energy of the fission fragments and its variances can fit with the experimental values in terms of a finite neck radius as scission condition.This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Refining the Diffusion Approximation for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">GI</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">/G/c</Emphasis> Queue

This paper deals with the GI ^x /G/c queueing system in a steady state. We refine a diffusion approximation method incorporating the constraint of traffic conservation for general queueing systems. An approximate expression for the distribution of the number of customers is obtained. Numerical results are presented to show that the refined model provides improved performance.     

On the ε-expansion procedure in the RNG theory of turbulence

Rescaling the equations of eliminating small scales, the physical justification for the-expansion procedure in the RNG theory of turbulence is proposed, in terms of that the inertial effects are small comparing with the viscous effects at the vicinity of the Kolmogorov dissipation wavenumber.We are grateful to Professor Chao-Hao Gu for numerous helpful suggestions. We would also like to acknowledge Professor Ke-Lin Wang and Bing-Hong Wang for many stimulating discussions of these problems.
