Radio jets and galaxies as cosmic string probes

The lensing effect of a cosmic string is studied, and some new methods are proposed to detect the cosmic string. The technique for using jets as extended gravitational lensing probes was first explored by Kronberg.We use the “alignment-breaking parameter” ηG as a sensitive indicator of gravitational distortion by a wiggly cosmic string. Then, we applied the non-constant deflection angle to jets, and ηG of a specific jet is just related to the projected slope of the jet. At least three jets in the sample of Square Kilometer Array (SKA) would have significant signals (ηG>10°) if the wiggly infinite cosmic string existed. The distortion of elliptical object is also studied and used to do a statistical research on the directions of axes and ellipticities of galaxies. In the direction of the string, we find that galaxies appear to be more elliptical for an observer and the distribution of apparent ellipticity changes correspondingly. The ellipticity distribution of current SDSS spiral sample has the signalto-noise ratio up to 8.48 which is large enough for astronomical observations. The future survey, such as Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and Dark Energy Survey (DES) would weaken the requirement of special geometry in the data processing. As a result, all kinds of distributions, including ellipticity axis distribution, would serve as probes to detect wiggly strings in the near future. In brief, if a wiggly cosmic string existed, these signals would be convenient to be observed with the future weak lensing survey or other surveys in the deep space. If there was no lensing signal in these distributions, it would give the upper limit of the abundance of infinite strings.     

开口型管道内瓦斯爆炸冲击波动压的数值模拟

为了研究瓦斯爆炸冲击波的动压演化规律,利用数值模拟软件模拟开口型管道内的爆炸。结果表明:动压与流速在时间上存在较好的对应关系,基本同时出现正向和反向的峰值;动压在3个方向上不仅伴随传播距离的增大而不断增大,也伴随传播时间的延长而增大;沿管道方向(火焰传播方向)上的最大动压值是其他2个方向(管道径向)上的数千倍;相比爆炸超压而言,管道径向上的动压对爆炸破坏效应的影响较小,而沿管道方向上的动压造成的破坏效应不能忽视;验证了动压与流速的平方呈正比关系,同时通过分析给出了动压基于管道几何尺寸和流速的经验公式。     

On the existence of stable bundles with prescribed Chern classes on Calabi–Yau threefolds

We prove a case of the conjecture of Douglas, Reinbacher and Yau about the existence of stable vector bundles with prescribed Chern classes on a Calabi–Yau threefold. For this purpose we prove the existence of certain stable vector bundle extensions over elliptically fibered Calabi–Yau threefolds.

热管冷却核反应堆具有非能动传热、模块化和固有安全性高等特点,在航空探索、深海作业和偏远地区电力市场上有广泛的应用。以洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室开发的5 MWth热管堆为研究对象,选择SS-316,Mo-14Re和SiC作为基体候选材料,采用反应堆蒙特卡罗中子输运分析程序对比分析了以上三种基体堆芯的反应性、中子能谱、增殖性能和燃耗演化。结果表明:为了维持堆芯的10年运行,SS-316,Mo-14Re和SiC三种基体堆芯所需的初始燃料235U富集度分别约为19.35%,28.80%和17.10%,SiC基体堆芯所需的初始燃料235U富集度最小;10年后,SiC基体堆芯产生的易裂变核素(239Pu和241Pu)和次锕系核素(通过分离嬗变可被再次利用)的量最高,分别约为11.91 kg和92.08 g。综合以上研究结果,推荐SiC作为热管冷却核反应堆的基体。     

Experimental investigation of a developing two-phase bubbly flow in horizontal pipe

Experimental results for various water and air superficial velocities in developing adiabatic horizontal two-phase pipe flow are presented. Flow pattern maps derived from videos exhibit a new boundary line in intermittent regime. This transition from water dominant to water–gas coordinated regimes corresponds to a new transition criterion C_T = 2, derived from a generalized representation with the dimensionless coordinates of Taitel and Dukler.Velocity, turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate, void fraction and bubble size radial profiles measured at 40 pipe diameters for J_L = 4.42 m/s by hot film velocimetry and optical probes confirm this transition: the gas influence is not continuous but strongly increases beyond J_G = 0.06 m/s. The maximum dissipation rate, derived from spectra, is increased in two-phase flow by a factor 5 with respect to the single phase case.The axial evolution of the bubble intercept length histograms also reveal the flow organization in horizontal layers, driven by buoyancy effects. Bubble coalescence is attested by a maximum bubble intercept evolving from 2.5 to 4.5 mm along the pipe. Turbulence generated by the bubbles is also manifest by the 4-fold increase of the maximum turbulent dissipation rate along the pipe.     

Spectral bundles and the DRY-Conjecture

Supersymmetric heterotic string models, built from a Calabi-Yau threefold X endowed with a stable vector bundle V, usually start from a phenomenologically motivated choice of a bundle V_v in the visible sector, the spectral cover construction on an elliptically fibered X being a prominent example. The ensuing anomaly mismatch between c₂(V_v) and c₂(X), or rather the corresponding differential forms, is often ‘solved’, on the cohomological level, by including a fivebrane. This leads to the question whether the difference can be alternatively realized by a further stable bundle. The ‘DRY’-conjecture of Douglas, Reinbacher and Yau in math.AG/0604597 gives a sufficient condition on cohomology classes on X to be realized as the Chern classes of a stable sheaf. In 1010.1644 [hep-th], we showed that infinitely many classes on X exist for which the conjecture is true. In this note, we give the sufficient condition for the mentioned fivebrane classes to be realized by a further stable bundle in the hidden sector. Using a result obtained in 1011.6246 [hep-th], we show that corresponding bundles exist, thereby confirming this version of the DRY-Conjecture.
