Vortex formation process in gravity-driven starting jets

Experiments were conducted to investigate the vortex formation process in gravity-driven starting jets at three Reynolds numbers ( 3,528 and 4,716, where D is the nozzle diameter, the average discharging velocity and ν the kinematic viscosity). Planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) was used to visualize the flow while particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to quantify the 2D velocity and vorticity fields. Vortex leapfrogging was found to appear at Re = 2,358, while pinch-off for the leading vortex was observed in the other two cases. Conditions for the vortex pinch-off appeared to be different from those found in the piston-driven starting jets. Although the leading vortex attained the maximum circulation and energy level very quickly after the jet was initiated, its detachment from the main stem may not be achieved necessarily. Attempt had been made to elaborate the different flow characteristics for respective cases from the related distribution of circulation and energy level via the measured velocity field by PIV.

堆焊熔敷层表面纳米晶层摩擦磨损性能研究

用预压力滚压技术在堆焊修复层表面制备纳米晶层.利用TEM、SEM分析技术研究表面纳米晶层微观结构,利用CETR-3型多功能摩擦磨损试验机考察在干摩擦条件下堆焊层表面纳米晶层的摩擦磨损性能.结果表明堆焊修复层表面经表面纳米化处理后,表面形成厚度约为10μm(晶粒尺寸小于100 nm)的纳米晶层,最表面层平均晶粒尺寸约为10 nm.纳米压痕试验表明纳米晶层的硬度提高,最表面纳米晶层的硬度约为原始堆焊层硬度的3倍.与原始堆焊试样相比,表面纳米化试样的摩擦系数降低了10%,磨损体积降低了25%~30%左右.表面纳米化样品的磨损机制由原始堆焊层的磨粒磨损和黏着磨损转变为磨粒磨损,分析表明晶粒细化导致的高硬度、低塑性是摩擦磨损性能改善和磨损机制改变的主要原因.     

Cleaved end-face quality of microstructured polymer optical fibres

The cutting of a microstructured polymer optical fibre to form an optical end-face is studied. The effect of the temperature and speed of the cutting blade on the end-face is qualitatively assessed and it is found that for fibres at temperatures in the range 70-90 °C, a blade at a similar temperature moving at a speed of less than 0.5 mm/s produces a good quality end-face. The nature of the damage caused by the cutting process was examined and found to vary with fibre temperature, blade quality and cut depth. Thermo-mechanical analysis showed that the drawn material was significantly more visco-elastic than the annealed raw material in the 70-90 °C temperature range. The behaviour of the surface damage with cut depth was found to be consistent with the behaviour of a visco-elastic material.     

Application of Uniform Asymptotics to the Second Painlevé Transcendent

In this work we propose a new method for investigating connection problems for the class of nonlinear second‐order differential equations known as the Painlevé equations. Such problems can be characterized by the question as to how the asymptotic behaviours of solutions are related as the independent variable is allowed to pass towards infinity along different directions in the complex plane. Connection problems have been previously tackled by a variety of methods. Frequently these are based on the ideas of isomonodromic deformation and the matching of WKB solutions. However, the implementation of these methods often tends to be heuristic in nature and so the task of rigorising the process is complicated. The method we propose here develops uniform approximations to solutions. This removes the need to match solutions, is rigorous, and can lead to the solution of connection problems with minimal computational effort. Our method relies on finding uniform approximations of differ ential equations of the generic form as the complex‐valued parameter . The details of the treatment rely heavily on the locations of the zeros of the function F in this limit. If they are isolated, then a uniform approximation to solutions can be derived in terms of Airy functions of suitable argument. On the other hand, if two of the zeros of F coalesce as , then an approximation can be derived in terms of parabolic cylinder functions. In this paper we discuss both cases, but illustrate our technique in action by applying the parabolic cylinder case to the “classical” connection problem associated with the second Painlevé transcendent. Future papers will show how the technique can be applied with very little change to the other Painlevé equations, and to the wider problem of the asymptotic behavio ur of the general solution to any of these equations.

An Approach for Microprobe Measurement and Modeling for Millimeter-Wave Application

This paper describes a simple method to check the performance of microprobe. The two-port S-parameters of the microprobe are determined by one-port S-parameters measurement using HP 8510XF Network Analyzer. Based on the measurement, an equivalent circuit model for the microprobe is presented and good agreement between the measurement results and modeling results is obtained.
