Shear banding in semidilute entangled polymer solutions

Shear banding in semidilute polymer solutions and other soft materials is one of the most intensely debated topics in current rheology. By means of rheo-optical experiments, physical modeling, and numerical simulations, researchers have started to develop a more thorough understanding of this flow instability within the past few years. Nevertheless, much effort is still required to identify the exact microscopic mechanisms leading to shear band formation and to clarify whether the phenomenon is universal for polymers. For this purpose, basic rheological characteristics, such as the appearance of a stress overshoot during start-up of a simple shear flow, have to be revisited and better related to the dynamics of the polymeric network.     

Transport and sedimentation of solid particles in Bénard hexagonal cells

The motion of particles moving under gravity in the velocity field of a liquid in a Bénard hexagonal cell is studied experimentally and numerically for Stokes flow conditions. We then explain the settlement of particles in the centers of cells to form a regular quincunx. It is found that sedimentation also occurs preferentially along the lines connecting the centers of adjacent cells to form a triangle deposition tessellation. Finally, it is explained why particles occupy the central part of each convective cell while the peripheral part of the cell quickly becomes limpid. Numerical results are in agreement with the experimental observations of Bénard and those of the present study.     

包含高阶色散的色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定性分析

从包含高阶色散的广义非线性薛定谔方程出发,得到了色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定增益谱,研究了增益谱随入射功率及光纤纵向色散参量的变化关系.结果表明：由于四阶色散的影响,在色散缓变光纤的正、反常色散区,交叉相位调制不稳定均发生在两个频谱区.反常色散区两频谱区宽度均比正常色散区宽,且反常色散区第二频谱区更靠近零点,说明色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定更容易发生在反常色散区.增益谱宽都随两入射光波功率比值的增加而增大.色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定增益谱宽比常规光纤的宽,且随着光纤纵向色散参量μ的增大色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定越来越明显.

Spontaneous 2D modulation instability in second harmonic generation process

Two-dimensional modulation instability (2DMI) is experimentally demonstrated in a classical second harmonic generation setup. The spatial spectrum is measured and reveals typical 2DMI bands, in agreement with the analytical MI model. These observations are confirmed by (2 + 1)D numerical simulations.

受限亚音速气流中倒置悬臂壁板静气弹稳定性的理论及实验研究

板壳结构在航空航天、高速列车、能量采集等诸多工程领域已经得到了广泛应用.将悬臂壁板倒置于轴向气流中并在壁板周围流场中设置刚性壁面可有效地调控壁板的失稳速度,是俘能器优化设计的重要措施之一.但针对刚性壁面作用下亚音速气流中倒置悬臂壁板的失稳机制仍需要开展深入研究.本文以受限亚音速气流中倒置的二维悬臂壁板为对象,以理论分析及风洞实验为手段,研究了单侧刚性壁面效应对倒置悬臂壁板静态失稳特性的影响规律.在理论分析中,首先应用镜像函数法来处理壁面约束条件,基于算子理论研究获得了以Possio积分方程为表征的壁板气动力,壁面效应实际表征为一包含移位Tricomi算子的复合算子;然后将壁板失稳方程的求解问题转化为定区间上的函数逼近问题;最后,依据Wererstrass定理并利用最小二乘法求解该最优函数,以获得系统的失稳临界参数.在试验研究中依据压杆稳定原理设计了壁板静态失稳的测试方法并完成了风洞实验.理论分析结果表明,壁板会发生发散(静气动弹性)失稳,临界动压随壁板与壁面间距的增加而增大并最终趋于稳定(无壁面情况);通过理论与风洞实验结果的对比分析,验证了本文气动力及理论分析的适用性及准确性.针对倒...     

Memory effects in gas chromatographic detection with a microwave-induced plasma

Capillary gas chromatography coupled to microwave-inducedplasma detection furnishes sensitivity adequate for trace analysis when the signal is monitored at a carbon emission line. Work performed with one of these systems at high electronic gain for the carbon signal has revealed solvent band widths in excess of four minutes; these impeded quantification of peaks eluting after the solvent. This report discusses two phenomena which could be related to the unexpected intensity of this solvent response: photomultiplier tube saturation and carbon deposits in the quartz plasma discharge tube.     

Area‐selective microwrinkle formation on poly(dimethylsiloxane) by treatment with strong acid

Microwrinkles were formed by treating poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surfaces with a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid at 80 °C followed by a water rinsing step. The acid treatment oxidized the treated area, which also swelled owing to absorption of water during the rinsing step. This absorption of water induced a compressive stress on the PDMS surface that caused the formation of wrinkles. The appearance of wrinkles was controlled by the time interval between the end of the acid treatment and the beginning of the water rinsing step. Wrinkles were formed when the time interval was shorter than 5 s, as water was absorbed by the hygroscopic acid molecules within the treated surface. For longer time intervals of 300 s, this phenomenon was not observed. Based on these findings, a procedure for forming wrinkles in specific areas was developed by hydrating the chosen areas with wet filter paper cut into specific shapes after the acid treatment. The formation of wrinkles was confined to the area under the piece of paper. The orientation and alignment of the wrinkles at the boundaries were also characterized. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
