On the order of a non-abelian representation group of a slim dense near hexagon

In this paper we study the possible orders of a non-abelian representation group of a slim dense near hexagon. We prove that if the representation group R of a slim dense near hexagon S is non-abelian, then R is a 2-group of exponent 4 and |R|=2 ^β , 1+NPdim(S)≤β≤1+dimV(S), where NPdim(S) is the near polygon embedding dimension of S and dimV(S) is the dimension of the universal representation module V(S) of S. Further, if β=1+NPdim(S), then R is necessarily an extraspecial 2-group. In that case, we determine the type of the extraspecial 2-group in each case. We also deduce that the universal representation group of S is a central product of an extraspecial 2-group and an abelian 2-group of exponent at most 4. This work was partially done when B.K.

Effects of partial slip,viscous dissipation and Joule heating on Von Kármán flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian fluid

The steady Von Kármán flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian fluid is extended to the case where the disk surface admits partial slip. The fluid is subjected to an external uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the disk. The constitutive equation of the non-Newtonian fluid is modeled by that for a Reiner–Rivlin fluid. The momentum equations give rise to highly non-linear boundary value problem. Numerical solutions for the governing non-linear equations are obtained over the entire range of the physical parameters. The effects of slip, magnetic parameter and non-Newtonian fluid characteristics on the velocity and temperature fields are discussed in detail and shown graphically. Emphasis has been laid to study the effects of viscous dissipation and Joule heating on the thermal boundary layer. It is interesting to find that the non-Newtonian cross-viscous parameter has an opposite effect to that of the slip and the magnetic parameter on the velocity and the temperature fields.

Wave interaction with multiple articulated floating elastic plates

Flexural gravity wave scattering by multiple articulated floating elastic plates is investigated in the three cases for water of finite depth, infinite depth and shallow water approximation under the assumptions of two-dimensional linearized theory of water waves. The elastic plates are joined through connectors, which act as articulated joints. In the case when two semi-infinite plates are connected through a single articulation, using the symmetric characteristic of the plate geometry and the expansion formulae for wave-structure interaction problem, the velocity potentials are obtained in closed forms in the case of finite and infinite water depths. On the other hand, in the case of shallow water approximation, the continuity of energy and mass flux are used to obtain a system of equations for the determination of the full velocity potentials for wave scattering by multiple articulations. Further, using the results for single articulation and assuming that the articulated joints are wide apart, the wide-spacing approximation method is used to obtain the reflection coefficient for wave scattering due to multiple articulated floating elastic plates. The effects of the stiffness of the connectors, length of the elastic plates and water depth on the propagation of flexural gravity waves are investigated by analysing the reflection coefficient.     

Modified complex method for constrained design and optimization of optical multilayer thin-film devices

A new computer design program based on the modified-complex method has been developed for constrained optimization and refinement of optical thin-film multilayer devices. This program is having a provision to include both limiting constraints as well as constraint equations. Constraints are suitably accommodated to generate designs which are practicable and withstand high laser power. Various rapid convergent processes like dynamic contraction and expansion of feasible vertices are incorporated for efficient scanning of the constraint parametric space. A broad band IR antireflection coating has been designed to test its relative efficiency with respect to other available methods. A wide varieties of highly useful multilayer devices have been successfully developed using this method.     

Temperature effects on the structure of liquid D-methanol through neutron diffraction

The study of changes in the structure (H-bonded) of liquid alcohols at elevated temperatures is rare probably due to low flash points of these liquids. An indigenously devised special quartz cell is now used to carry out the structural studies of these liquids at elevated temperatures through neutron diffraction. Here, the liquid consists of deuterated methanol and neutron data was collected on the high-Q diffractometer at Dhruva, BARC. The corrected data at elevated temperatures (BP (boiling point) and double the BP) show that there is a large change in the H-bonded structure of this liquid. The pre-peak or hump, known to be signature of H-bonded clusters appears to be present at all the three temperatures studied. In the low-Q (scattering vector) data Ornstein Zernike (OZ) behaviour is also observed. It is, however, seen that the intramolecular structure does not change very much at higher temperatures. A detailed model analysis is in progress and would be reported later.     

Boundary element method for wave trapping by a multi-layered trapezoidal breakwater near a sloping rigid wall

This study examines the multiple layers in a rubble mound breakwater and their effect on reflection and dissipation of incoming ocean waves. The numerical model is developed using multi-domain boundary element method for oblique water wave trapping near a sloping wall by a multi-layered trapezoidal porous structure, which is utilized to model armour, filter and core layers while examining the hydrodynamics in different configurations. Both, the constant element and linear element approaches to boundary element method are discussed. The cases of bottom-standing porous structures as being submerged and fully extended are considered. The wave hydrodynamics over the structure is described by the reflection and dissipation coefficients along with the forces acting on the sloping wall, and is influenced by wave and structural parametrics of the system. The influence of armour layer in different configurations is highlighted for various structural and wave parameters.

     

Dispersion of quasi-particles in high Tc cuprates

The interplay between superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetism (AFM) is studied in strongly correlated systems of high T _c Cuprate superconductors. It is assumed that superconductivity arises due to BCS pairing mechanism in presence of AFM in Cu lattices of Cu-O planes. The total Hamiltonian of the system is mean field one and has been solved exactly by writing the equations of motion for the single particle Green’s functions. Equations for the appropriate single particle co-relation functions are derived and the order parameters corresponding to SC and AFM are determined. It is assumed that the Fermi energy ∈ _F = 0 and the renormalized localized f energy level coincide with the Fermi level. All the quantities in the final equation for h and Δ are made dimensionless by dividing by 2t, where t is the hopping integral. The temperature dependent values of staggered magnetic field (h) and SC gap (Δ) were determined by solving self-consistent equations for h and Δ. The quasiparticle energy bands are function of AFM gap (h), SC gap (Δ) and hybridization (V). Then the dispersion of quasi-particles are studied at different temperatures by considering temperature dependent values of h and Δ and varying other different model parameters.
