A free boundary problem in an absorbing porous material with saturation dependent permeability

We prove a well posedness result for a free boundary problem describing the filtration of an incompressible viscous fluid in a porous medium containing water absorbing granules.?The location of the wetting front (the free boundary) is described by a Stefan like problem for a parabolic equation which is coupled with an hyperbolic equation describing the absorption kinetic of the granules.

The role of nucleation field of media in heat-assisted magnetic probe recording

We characterize a method of heat-assisted magnetic probe recording on perpendicular media. Heating source is field emission current from a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip. Recording media are three kinds of magnetic films, Co/Pt, CoNi/Pt, and Co/Pd multilayers with different nucleation fields. Pulses with amplitude of 5 V were applied between the STM tip and the recording medium. Experiments show that magnetic marks with an average size of 180 nm were formed on both Co/Pt and CoNi/Pt films whose nucleation fields are greater than their saturation magnetization. No marks were observed on the Co/Pd film whose nucleation field is smaller than its saturation magnetization. A model is built to simulate the dynamic process of domain formation in probe-based magnetic recording system. Simulation results agree with experiments and it explains the effect of the nucleation field of medium in perpendicular recording.     

Stability analysis of a Maxwell fluid in a porous medium heated from below

Based on a modified-Darcy–Brinkman–Maxwell model, stability analysis of a horizontal layer of Maxwell fluid in a porous medium heated from below is performed. By solving the eigenvalue problems, the critical Rayleigh number, wave number and frequency for overstability are determined. It is found that the critical Rayleigh number for overstability decreases as the relaxation time increases and the elasticity of a Maxwell fluid has a destabilizing effect on the fluid layer in porous media. On the other hand, the critical Rayleigh number for overstability increases by increasing the porous parameter which acts to stabilize the system. In limiting cases, some previous results for viscoelastic fluids in nonporous media are recovered from our results.     

Temporal and spectral properties of ultrashort pulsed Laguerre-Gaussian beams in dispersive media

The temporal and spectral properties of ultrashort pulsed Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams propagating in dispersive media are studied both theoretically and numerically. It is shown that the on-axis pulse broadens with increasing propagation distance and the on-axis spectrum is blueshifted. For the off-axis spectrum the blueshifts decrease and then the spectrum becomes redshifted as the radial distance increases. The propagation of ultrashort pulsed LG beams in free space and of ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beams can be regarded as special cases of our results, and some interesting properties are discussed.     

Waves and rays in uniaxial birefringent crystals

In this paper, we present a more elaborate and complete way of the formalism that we have developed in successive steps for ray tracing through uniaxial birefringent media in view of the optical design. With the obtained formulas we analyze in detail what we see through a cleavage calcite crystal.     

Conditional methods for continuum reacting flows in porous media

A special version of conditional moment closure—PCMC—is suggested for modeling reacting flows in porous media. The model involves conditioning on a special tracer scalar, which is introduced to characterize scalar transport in the gaseous phase. (i.e., for the flow in the interparticle space or in the pores). The model accounts for interparticle variations of species concentrations and emulates diffusion in the interparticle space. Special boundary conditions that are consistent with conventional conditions at the phase interface are obtained for the PCMC model. The model is tested against complete direct simulation of a reacting flow in porous media with favourable results.     

Temperature field distribution in multi-layered solid media heated with multi-modes laser beam

In the present paper we want to develop an analytical model to study the thermal behavior of multi-layered solid media in interaction with a laser beam. We suppose that each layer has a constant thermal conductivity. We consider that the laser beam is formed by decoupled [Phys Rev A 1996; 53: 4435] multi-modes Hermite–Gauss beams. The model is applied using the classical heat equation which was solved using the integral transform method [Infrared Phys Technol 2002; 42: 31; Optics Laser Technol 2004; 36: 219–22; Optics Laser Technol 2004; 36: 677–9; Proc SPIE 2003; 5227: 323].
