Impacts of higher-order dispersions and saturable nonlinearities on modulation instability in negative-refractive metamaterials

On the basis of the standard linear stability analysis and Drude electromagnetic model,the impacts of higher-order dispersions and three kinds of typical saturable nonlinearities on modulation instability(MI) have been analyzed and calculated for negative-refractive metamaterials(MMs).Our results show that the MI gain spectra consist of only one spectral region instead of one or two regions in ordinary materials,which may be close to or far from the zero point.Particularly,the spectrum far from the zero point has a high cut-off frequency but a narrow spectral width,which is obviously beneficial to the generation of high-repetition-rate pulse trains.Moreover,MI characteristics here will vary with the normalized angular frequency which can be modified by adjusting the structures of negative-refractive MMs,signifying the controllability of bistable solitons and MI based applications.The effects of saturable nonlinearities are similar to those in ordinary materials.

激波冲击R22重气柱所导致的射流与混合研究

基于大涡模拟, 结合五阶加权基本无振荡格式与沉浸边界法对激波自左向右与R22重气柱作用过程进行了数值模拟. 数值结果清晰地显示了激波诱导Richtmyer-Meshkov不稳定性所导致的重气柱变形过程, 并与Haas 和 Sturtevant 的实验结果符合. 另外, 结果还揭示了入射激波在气柱内右侧边界发生聚焦并诱导射流的过程, 以及在Kelvin-Helmhotz 次不稳定性作用下两个主涡滑移层形成次级涡的过程, 并分析了气柱变形过程中与周围空气的混合机理. 最后, 通过改变反射距离对反射激波与不同变形阶段的气柱的再次作用过程进行了研究. 结果表明: 当激波反射距离较长时, 反射激波与充分变形后的气柱作用, 使其在流向方向上进一步被压缩; 而当激波反射距离较短时, 反射激波会在气柱内发生马赫反射, 两个三波点附近产生两个高压区, 当其传播至气柱左侧边界时对气柱边界造成冲击加速, 诱导两道向左传播的反向射流. 关键词： Richtmyer-Meshkov不稳定性 R22重气柱 反射激波 射流     

激光惯性约束聚变中光学汤姆逊散射研究进展

当前,激光惯性约束聚变在越来越接近点火的极端能量密度条件下,实验与模拟的偏离逐渐增大,一个关键原因是缺乏对黑腔等离子体状态及其影响黑腔能量学和内爆对称性的细致研究和判断。光学汤姆逊散射主动式、诊断精确、参数完备的优点,使之成为激光惯性约束聚变黑腔等离子体状态参数精密诊断的标准方法。中国面向激光惯性约束聚变研究的光学汤姆逊散射实验技术的发展与神光系列激光装置的建设和在其上开展的物理实验紧密相关。近年来,四倍频汤姆逊散射实验技术在神光III原型和100 kJ激光装置上相继建立,部分实验结果不仅加深了对激光惯性约束聚变靶物理的认识,还反映了实验条件对汤姆逊散射诊断的影响,促进了实验技术的精密化发展。在未来,还需要进一步发展多支路汤姆逊散射、五倍频汤姆逊散射和超热相干汤姆逊散射等新技术,面向点火黑腔条件,大幅提升激光等离子体状态参数的诊断精度,开展新物理机制的探索和研究,在激光惯性约束聚变和其他高能量密度物理科学领域发挥更重要的作用。

Hydrodynamic instability of premixed flame propagating in narrow planar channel in the presence of gas flow

The paper analyses the hydrodynamic instability of a flame propagating in the space between two parallel plates in the presence of gas flow. The linear analysis was performed in the framework of a two-dimensional model that describes the averaged gas flow in the space between the plates and the perturbations development of two-dimensional combustion wave. The model includes the parametric dependences of the flame front propagation velocity on its local curvature and on the combustible gas velocity averaged along the height of the channel. It is assumed that the viscous gas flow changes the surface area of the flame front and thereby affects the propagation velocity of the two-dimensional combustion wave. In the absence of the influence of the channel walls on the gas flow, the model transforms into the Darrieus–Landau model of flame hydrodynamic instability. The dependences of the instability growth rate on the wave vector of disturbances, the velocity of the unperturbed gas flow, the viscous friction coefficients and other parameters of the problem are obtained. It is shown that the viscous gas flow in the channel can lead, in some cases, to a significant increase in instability compared with a flame propagating in free space. In particular, the instability increment depends on the direction of the gas flow with respect direction of the flame propagation. In the case when the gas flow moves in the opposite direction to the direction of the flame propagation, the pulsating instability can appear.     

A study on anomalous yield drop behaviour in modified beta titanium alloys

ABSTRACT

The yield drop phenomenon observed in the Ti–15V-3Al–3Sn-3Cr (Ti–15–3) beta-titanium alloy and its anomalous behaviour in the boron and carbon added Ti–15–3 alloys have been studied. While the base and the carbon containing alloys exhibit yield drop, the boron containing alloy with smaller grain size than base alloy does not appear to show this phenomenon. Tensile tests were interrupted at different stress levels followed by analyses of slip lines and sub-structural characteristics using scanning and transmission electron microscopes to understand this anomalous yield point phenomenon. Infrared thermal imaging technique was used to map the strain localisation and the spatiotemporal evolution of deformation along the gauge length of the specimens during the tensile tests. Deformation in these alloys initiates only in a few grains. Pile-up of dislocations in these grains subsequently triggers the formation of dislocations in other grains and their rapid multiplications. The spreading of deformation by the generation of dislocations from pile up dislocations in one grain to neighbouring un-deformed grains and their rapid multiplication to new regions influence the yield drop phenomenon and its characteristics. It is shown in this study that microscopic instability in the grain level is a necessary, but not the sufficient condition for the manifestation of macroscopic instability during tensile deformation in polycrystalline materials. The presence of boride particles at grain boundaries restricts the slip transfer across the grains as well as the spreading of deformation to new regions, which causes the suppression of yield drop in the boron containing alloy.     

Undulation instability in two-dimensional foams of magnetic fluid

Two-dimensional magnetic fluid foams are cellular structures whose framework is made of magnetic fluid. The features of these equilibrated patterns are driven by a control parameter: the amplitude of the applied magnetic field. When the latter is rapidly increased, an instability occurs: the walls between cells undulate. Such an instability has also been observed in other 2D cellular structures, which exist for instance in Langmuir monolayers or in magnetic garnets thin films. In this paper we give a theoretical analysis of this instability, the issues of which are shown to be well confirmed by experiments and numerical simulations.

On nonlinear coupled diffusions in competition systems

A class of reaction-diffusion systems modeling plant growth with spatial competition in saturated media is presented. We show, in this context, that standard diffusion can not lead to pattern formation (Diffusion Driven Instability of Turing). Degenerated nonlinear coupled diffusions inducing free boundaries and exclusive spatial diffusions are proposed. Local and global existence results are proved for smooth approximations of the degenerated nonlinear diffusions systems which give rise to long-time pattern formations. Numerical simulations of a competition model with degenerate/non degenerate nonlinear coupled diffusions are performed and we carry out the effect of the these diffusions on pattern formation and on the change of basins of attraction.
