Resolution of Internal Total ReflectionScanning Near-field Optical Microscopy

In this paper, the probe-sample interaction equation based on Mie's scattering theory is derived, and the resolution of scanning near field optical microscopy is calculated numerically. The results show that the offset of far-field component to near-field component in total field plays an important role in the resolution and the size of samples also has influence on resolution.

Development and laboratory validation of in-line multiplexed low-coherence interferometric sensors

In this paper, we present the development and laboratory validation of in-line multiplexing for a low-coherence interferometric strain sensor suitable for industrial deployment and application to civil structures. The sensor is the multiplexed version of the standard SOFO, developed, produced and commercialized by Smartec SA. While the standard SOFO employs total reflectors at the end of the measurement and reference fibers, allowing measurement of the strain only over a single field, in the solution presented in-line multiplexing is obtained separating each measurement field by partial reflectors, consisting of broadband Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) with a 5% reflectivity. Laboratory tests have been carried out on a prototype 3-field sensor, to investigate effectiveness, resolution and temperature sensitivity. Outcomes show a linear response of the sensor with RMS resolution lower than 3 μm, independent of the measurement base, of the same order as the single field sensor. Consistently with the theoretical prediction, the system exhibits an apparent thermal expansion coefficient of 2 με °C⁻¹, relatively low if compared with the thermal expansion coefficient of steel or concrete structures. This temperature dependency can even be eliminated by appropriate selection of the length of the reference fiber. Theoretical analysis indicates that the maximum number of fields that can be arranged in series is in the order of 10; however this limit can be overcome by appropriately selecting the power of the light source of the interrogation unit.     

Simultaneous determination of four fluorescent whitening agents (including trans and cis isomers) in facial mask by dispersive solid‐phase extraction combined with ultra high performance liquid chromatography and diode array detection

A novel ultra high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection method, based on the dispersive solid‐phase extraction by using polymer weak anion exchange as the sorbent, was established for the simultaneous determination of fluorescent whitening agents 85, 28, 351, and 71 in facial mask. The amounts of polymer weak anion exchange, adsorption time, and volume of elution solvent in the dispersive solid‐phase extraction technology were optimized, and the developed method was validated in terms of the method limit of detection, method limit of quantitation, linear range, recovery, accuracy, and precision. Results indicated that the standard curves were linear over the selected concentration ranges of 0.05–100 mg/L for four target analytes, with determination coefficients greater than 0.999. The method limits of quantitation of the target analytes were in the range of 0.6–2.8 mg/kg. Recoveries were calculated at the concentrations of 1.0–30 mg/kg spiked in negative samples and the values were between 89.3 and 102% with an RSD of 2.5–5.1% for intraday precision and 3.8–5.0% for interday precision. The method was successfully applied to analyze 20 facial mask samples and fluorescent whitening agent 85 was detected in one sample with the concentration of 4.7 mg/kg.     

Extending Seventh-Order Dissipative Compact Scheme Satisfying Geometric Conservation Law to Large Eddy Simulation on Curvilinear Grids

Seventh-order hybrid cell-edge and cell-node dissipative compact scheme (HDCS-E8T7) is extended to a new implicit large eddy simulation named HILES on stretched and curvilinear meshes. Although the conception of HILES is similar to that of monotone integrated LES (MILES), i.e., truncation error of the discretization scheme itself is employed to model the effects of unresolved scales, HDCS-E8T7 is a new high-order finite difference scheme, which can eliminate the surface conservation law (SCL) errors and has inherent dissipation. The capability of HILES is tested by solving several benchmark cases. In the case of flow past a circular cylinder, the solutions of HILES fulfilling the SCL have good agreement with the corresponding experiment data, however, the flow field is gradually contaminated when the SCL error is enlarged. With the help of fulling the SCL, ability of HILES for handling complex geometry has been enhanced. The numerical solutions of flow over delta wing demonstrate the potential of HILES in simulating turbulent flow on complex configuration.

Evaluation of Euler fluxes by a high-order CFD scheme: shock instability

The construction of Euler fluxes is an important step in shock-capturing/upwind schemes. It is well known that unsuitable fluxes are responsible for many shock anomalies, such as the carbuncle phenomenon. Three kinds of flux vector splittings (FVSs) as well as three kinds of flux difference splittings (FDSs) are evaluated for the shock instability by a fifth-order weighted compact nonlinear scheme. The three FVSs are Steger–Warming splitting, van Leer splitting and kinetic flux vector splitting (KFVS). The three FDSs are Roe's splitting, advection upstream splitting method (AUSM) type splitting and Harten–Lax–van Leer (HLL) type splitting. Numerical results indicate that FVSs and high dissipative FDSs undergo a relative lower risk on the shock instability than that of low dissipative FDSs. However, none of the fluxes evaluated in the present study can entirely avoid the shock instability. Generally, the shock instability may be caused by any of the following factors: low dissipation, high Mach number, unsuitable grid distribution, large grid aspect ratio, and the relative shock-internal flow state (or position) between upstream and downstream shock waves. It comes out that the most important factor is the relative shock-internal state. If the shock-internal state is closer to the downstream state, the computation is at higher susceptibility to the shock instability. Wall-normal grid distribution has a greater influence on the shock instability than wall-azimuthal grid distribution because wall-normal grids directly impact on the shock-internal position. High shock intensity poses a high risk on the shock instability, but its influence is not as much as the shock-internal state. Large grid aspect ratio is also a source of the shock instability. Some results of a second-order scheme and a first-order scheme are also given. The comparison between the high-order scheme and the two low-order schemes indicates that high-order schemes are at a higher risk of the shock instability. Adding an entropy fix is very helpful in suppressing the shock instability for the two low-order schemes. When the high-order scheme is used, the entropy fix still works well for Roe's flux, but its effect on the Steger–Warming flux is trivial and not much clear.     

The stress birefringence images of low angle grain boundaries in 6H‐SiC single crystals

Low angle grain boundaries, also referred to as domain walls, is one of the major structural defects in c‐axis physical vapor transport (PVT) grown hexagonal Silicon Carbide. To investigate the nature of the low angle boundaries, polarized optical microscope was used. The low angle boundary gives bright stress birefringence images under polarizing optical microscope. Periodic extinction of the stress birefringence images occurs when the (0001)‐face SiC is rotated under polarizing optical microscope. The micro‐structure of the low angle boundary is proposed. Using dislocation elastic theory, it is theoretically confirmed that the domains consist of uniform pure edge dislocations with Burgers vectors perpendicular to the dislocation arrays. The simulation results coincide with the experimental observations.
