Third order nonlinear optical characterization using focal shift measurements

We report on third order optical nonlinear experimental characterization using Z-scan method through focal shift measurements of a converging lens. The sample is fixed in front of a lens and is illuminated by a collimated beam. The shift of the geometrical focus in the nonlinear regime using input Gaussian beams is related to the nonlinear induced dephasing owing to a simple linear relation. Numerical calculations based on the Helmholtz wave equation are performed. Good agreement is obtained between experimental and theoretical results.     

Evaluation of linear and nonlinear convection schemes on multidimensional non‐orthogonal grids with applications to KVLCC2 tanker

Almost all evaluations of convection schemes reported in the literature are conducted using simple problems on uniform orthogonal grids; thus, having limited contribution when solving industrial computational fluid dynamics (CFD), where the grids are usually non‐orthogonal with distortions. Herein, several convection schemes are assessed in uniform and distorted non‐orthogonal grids with emphasis on industrial applications. Linear and nonlinear (TVD) convection schemes are assessed on analytical benchmarks in both uniform and distorted grids. To evaluate the performance of the schemes, four error metrics are used: dissipation, phase and L₁ errors, and the schemes' effective order of accuracy. Qualitative and quantitative deterioration of these error metrics as a function of the grid distortion metrics are investigated, and rigorous verifications are performed. Recommendations for effective use of the convection schemes based on the range of grid aspect ratio (AR), expansion ratio (ER) and skewness (Q) are included. A ship hydrodynamics case is studied, involving a Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes simulation of a bare‐hull KVLCC2 tanker using linear and nonlinear convection schemes coupled with isotropic and anisotropic Reynolds‐stress (ARS) turbulence models using CFDShip‐Iowa v4. Predictions of local velocities and turbulent quantities from the midships to the nominal wake plane are compared with experimental fluid dynamics (EFD), and rigorous verification and validation analyses for integral forces and moments are performed for 0° and 12° drift angles. Best predictions are observed when coupling a second‐order TVD scheme with the anisotropic turbulence model. Further improvements are observed in terms of prediction of the vortical structures for 30° drift when using TVD2S‐ARS coupled with DES. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

More precise determination of thermal lens focal length for end-pumped solid-state lasers

A method of more precise determination of the focal length of equivalent thermal lens (TL) is presented in this paper. The method is based on the diffraction theory of aberrations. By numerically calculating the optical path difference (OPD) distribution and the Strehl ratio, the focal lengths for “top-hat” pumping and Gaussian pumping are obtained and the equations for the focal lengths are presented by curve fitting. Also the equations for average pump radii are presented. The experiment on a fiber-coupled LD pumped Nd:YAG laser is carried out. The experimental results verify the validity of the method.

The heat transfer problem in the wall region of a turbulent boundary layer

The problem of heat transfer in the wall region of a turbulent boundary layer has been investigated. The resonant triad in the theory of hydrodynamic stability was used to obtain the velocity field induced by the coherent structures in the wall region of the turbulent boundary layer, while the small scale turbulence was represented by a simple model. By such a new approach of modeling, the 3-D temperature field is calculated, the mean temperature profile in the wall region and the Nusselt number characterizing the heat flux, which was found to be in good agreement with the experimental observations are obtained. The instantaneous temperature field had streaky structures, thus offering a mechanism for their generation found in numerical simulations.
