On complementability of certain generalized hypercenters in Artinian modules

We prove that, in an Artinian module, the upper FC-hypercenter over an infinite FC-hypercentral locally solvable group has a direct complement. Thus, we obtain a generalization of one of Zaitsev’s theorems and one of Duan’s theorems.     

Photoionization of impurities in heterojunctions

The spectral dependence of the photoionization cross-section is calculated for shallow donors in GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunctions. The resulting spectra is found to be different for light polarized along and perpendicular to the growth direction. The calculations are repeated for both infinite- and finite-barrier models.

On the localization of topological invariants

The approach of formal differential geometry to the topological invariants which can be localized is developed. The universal space and universal characteristic forms are constructed. They give rise to primary and secondary characteristic forms.

Measurements and simulations of particle dispersion in a turbulent flow

A particle imaging technique has been used to collect droplet displacement statistics in a round turbulent jet of air. Droplets are injected on the jet axis, and a laser sheet and position-sensitive photomultiplier tube are used to track their radial displacement and time-of-flight. Dispersion statistics can be computed which are Lagrangian or Eulerian in nature. The experiments have been simulated numerically using a second-order closure scheme for the jet and a stochastic simulation for the particle trajectories. Results are presented for non-vaporizing droplets of sizes from 35 to 160 μm. The simulations have underscored the importance of initial conditions and early droplet displacement history on the droplet trajectory for droplets with large inertia relative to the turbulence. Estimates of initial conditions have been made and their effect on dispersion is quantified.
