Three‐dimensional computation for flow‐induced vibrations in in‐line and cross‐flow directions of a circular cylinder

We present numerical results for in‐line and cross‐flow vibrations of a circular cylinder, which is immersed in a uniform flow and is elastically supported by damper‐spring systems to compute vibrations of a rigid cylinder. In the case of a circular cylinder with a low Scruton number, it is well‐known that two types of self‐excited vibrations appear in the in‐line direction in the range of low reduced velocities. On the other hand, a cross‐flow vibration of the circular cylinder can be excited in the range of high reduced velocities. Therefore, we compute the flow‐induced vibrations of the circular cylinder in the wide range of the reduced velocities at low and high Scruton numbers and discuss about excitation mechanisms in the in‐line and cross‐flow directions.

On some measurements of the propagation properties of thermal waves in the Nb-H and Ta-H systems

Summary By means of an experimental technique based on a nonsteady-state method,i.e. on the propagation of thermal waves, we have measured at room temperature for oscillation frequencies between 6 and 30 mHz the thermal diffusivity, the lateral thermal-loss coefficient and the ?fractional heat loss? in Nb and Ta wires as a function of hydrogen doping. The appearance of hydride formation and precipitation notably changes the behaviour of these quantities. From these measurements it was also possible to calculate the propagation velocity and attenuation coefficient of thermal waves. It was found that the increase of the hydrogen concentration in the solid solution produces a gradual decrease in the velocity and increase in the attenuation coefficient until the solubility limit is reached. For larger hydrogen concentrations, the velocity showed a tendency to increase towards the value of the pure metal, while the attenuation coefficient decreased below the value of the pure metal. These results as a whole appear quite promising for studying the properties of hydrogenated systems.

Transition radiation from polarization charges

Summary A treatment of transition radiation is presented. This is based on the fields produced by the polarization charges in the radiation zone. These charges are extracted from the exact forms of the fields which were derived previously. A distinction is found between the radiation in the forward and in the backward regions. This would call for experimental verification. Comparison with other treatments shows similarity in the general features but important differences in the details.

Riassunto Si presenta una trattazione della radiazione transitoria. Essa è basata sui campi emessi nella regione asintotica dalle cariche di polarizzazione. Queste cariche sono estratte dalle forme esatte di campi che erano stati precedentemente derivati. Si verifica una distinzione chiara fra la radiazione nella direzione avanti e indietro. Questo neccesiterebbe una verifica sperimentale. Il confronto con altri trattamenti mostra una somiglianza nelle linee generali ma anche importanti differenze nei dettagli.

     

Diffraction integral for misaligned systems and interference effects of optical arrays

Summary In the present paper, a diffraction integral formula for a misaligned optical system is derived. The interference effects of opticalelement arrays are studied by means of such a formula. The possibility of eliminating interference fringes is discussed. The conclusion is that the interference fringes could be eliminated when the αβγδ condition for arrays is satisfied. The synthetical aberration is simultaneously eliminated. However, in this case, the synthetical image coincides with the individual images. For some special application, the synthetical image does not coincide with the individual images and the αβγδ condition is not fulfilled. But the interference fringes may disappear in some special cases.

Riassunto La formula di Collins, che esprime il cammino ottico fra un punto del piano oggetto e un punto del piano immagine nel caso di un sistema ottico centrato, è generalizzata al caso di un sistema ottico disallineato. La formula cosí ottenuta è applicata allo studio del fenomeno d’interferenza che ha luogo nel piano della cosiddetta ?immagine sintetica? fra i vari fasci emergenti da una cortina di elementi ottici. Si discutono infine le condizioni in cui non si hanno frange d’interferenza sull’immagine sintetica.

     

On the effective field and optical constants of alkali halides containingF colour centres

Summary The Onsager and Lorentz local fields ofF colour centres are compared and their change as a function of angular frequency and temperature is also considered. The change of these fields is proportional to the change of the refractive index produced byF centres. Some approximations about the explicit temperature dependence of the refractive-index change are also presented.

Riassunto I campi locali di Onsager e Lorentz diF centri di colore sono confrontati e si considera il loro cambiamento in funzione della frequenza angolare e della temperatura. Il cambiamento di questi campi è proporzionale al cambiamento dell'indice di rifrazione prodotto daF centri. Si presentano anche alcune approssimazioni riguardo alla esplicita dipendenza dalla temperatura del cambiamento dell'indice di rifrazione.

     

Activation energy and hall-coefficient measurements in lightly dopedn-InP in the thermal freeze-out region

Summary The direct-current resistivity, β, and Hall coefficient,R _H, of lightly dopedn-type InP samples were measured at temperatures (T) down to 12K and magnetic fields up to 4.8 kG. A sharp exponential increase in β, asT was decreased, was observed for temperatures below 80 K. The Hall coefficient showed a similar trend,i.e. R _H increased sharply asT was reduced below 80 K. This is attributed to the freeze-out of conduction electrons onto their donor sites. The donor activation energy,E _d, calculated from the temperature dependence of the resistivity, was less than the theoretical prediction. An enhanced dielectric constant would be a possible candidate for such behaviour. The initial decrease in β (asT is reduced) recorded in the higher-temperature region is due to impurity scattering probably combined with lattice scattering. The authors of this paper have agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.     

Ising model in a quasiperiodic transverse field,percolation, and contact processes in quasiperiodic environments

Quantum Ising models in a transverse field are related to continuous-time percolation processes whose oriented percolation versions are contact processes. We study such models in the presence of quasiperiodic disorder and prove localization in the ground state, no percolation, and extinction, respectively, for sufficiently large disorder.     

用MAPKOB链模拟月径流系列的尝试

水文统计中的月径流资料是非常重要的。月径流系列是一随机过程，由于水文现象的复杂性，难以用准确的分布函数来描述。但作出某些合理手假设后，可将其变为符合各态历经定理的平稳随机过程。用Ｍａｐｋｏｂ自回归模型可以生成人工月径流系列，以满足规划、设计等方面的要求。本文以三屯河为例，用Ｍａｐｋｏｂ模型模拟了该河的月径流系列。
