First-order system least squares and the energetic variational approach for two-phase flow

This paper develops a first-order system least-squares (FOSLS) formulation for equations of two-phase flow. The main goal is to show that this discretization, along with numerical techniques such as nested iteration, algebraic multigrid, and adaptive local refinement, can be used to solve these types of complex fluid flow problems. In addition, from an energetic variational approach, it can be shown that an important quantity to preserve in a given simulation is the energy law. We discuss the energy law and inherent structure for two-phase flow using the Allen–Cahn interface model and indicate how it is related to other complex fluid models, such as magnetohydrodynamics. Finally, we show that, using the FOSLS framework, one can still satisfy the appropriate energy law globally while using well-known numerical techniques.     

Moment equations for a spatially extended system of two competing species

The dynamics of a spatially extended system of two competing species in the presence of two noise sources is studied. A correlated dichotomous noise acts on the interaction parameter and a multiplicative white noise affects directly the dynamics of the two species. To describe the spatial distribution of the species we use a model based on Lotka-Volterra (LV) equations. By writing them in a mean field form, the corresponding moment equations for the species concentrations are obtained in Gaussian approximation. In this formalism the system dynamics is analyzed for different values of the multiplicative noise intensity. Finally by comparing these results with those obtained by direct simulations of the time discrete version of LV equations, that is coupled map lattice (CML) model, we conclude that the anticorrelated oscillations of the species densities are strictly related to non-overlapping spatial patterns.

A new type of Lie symmetrical non-Noether conserved quantity for nonholonomic systems

For a nonholonomic system, a new type of Lie symmetrical non-Noether conserved quantity is given under general infinitesimal transformations of groups in which time is variable. On the basis of the invariance theory of differential equations of motion under infinitesimal transformations for t and q_s, we construct the Lie symmetrical determining equations, the constrained restriction equations and the additional restriction equations of the system. And a new type of Lie symmetrical non-Noether conserved quantity is directly obtained from the Lie symmetry of the system, which only depends on the variables t, q_s and \dot{q}_s. A series of deductions are inferred for a holonomic nonconservative system, Lagrangian system and other dynamical systems in the case of vanishing of time variation. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Temperature dependence of GaSb and AlGaSb solar cells

Sb-based alloys offer great potential for photovoltaic and thermophotovoltaic applications. In this paper, we study the performance of Al_xGa_1-xSb (x = 0, 0.15, and 0.50) single-junction solar cells over a temperature range of 25–250 °C. The dark current-voltage, one-sun current-voltage, and external quantum efficiency measurements were acquired at different temperatures. Correlations between experimental and numerical results are made to draw conclusions about the thermal behavior of the cells. It is shown that, while the bandgaps decrease linearly with temperature leading to the reduction of open-circuit voltages, the short-circuit current densities decrease with non-linear trends. The temperature-dependent dark current densities were extracted by fitting the dark current-voltage curves to single- and double-diode models to give an insight into the effect of intrinsic carrier concentration (n_i) on the cell performance. We find that the n_i has a significant impact on temperature-dependent cell performance. These findings could lay a groundwork for the future Sb-based photovoltaic systems that operate at high temperatures.

Research on speckle noise of laser Doppler velocimeter for the vehicle self-contained navigation

A novel multipoint layer-type laser Doppler velocimeter (MLLDV) is designed to measure the velocity of a vehicle for the self-contained navigation system. In order to investigate the speckle's influence on the Doppler spectrum, formulas of time-lagged covariance and speckle broadening were derived for our MLLDV. Simulations and experiments are made for detailed analysis. The results show that the time-lagged covariance of photocurrent is directly proportional to the incident angle, and is inversely proportional to the elevation fluctuation of the ground together with the velocity of the vehicle. Speckle broadening is a function of the vehicle's velocity, the 1/e² Gaussian spot radius and the phase correlation length of the ground. For our MLLDV, Doppler frequency and Doppler broadening are both directly proportional to the velocity of the vehicle. Besides, the ratio between Doppler broadening and the corresponding Doppler frequency is about 0.72% when the speed of the vehicle varies from 0 to 9.6 m/s.     

Complex-valued fractional statistics for D-dimensional harmonic oscillators

A system of isotropic harmonic oscillators obeying the Polychronakos fractional statistics with a complex parameter in a space having the dimension D>1$D>1$ is studied. Temperature dependences of the thermodynamic functions are analyzed in different temperature domains. The nature of the observed phase transitions is clarified. Both numerical and analytical estimates for the critical temperature are made depending on the number of particles, space dimensionality, and statistics parameter. Approximate correspondence with some other fractional statistics types is established.
