Stable loosely-coupled-type algorithm for fluid–structure interaction in blood flow

We introduce a novel loosely coupled-type algorithm for fluid–structure interaction between blood flow and thin vascular walls. This algorithm successfully deals with the difficulties associated with the “added mass effect”, which is known to be the cause of numerical instabilities in fluid–structure interaction problems involving fluid and structure of comparable densities. Our algorithm is based on a time-discretization via operator splitting which is applied, in a novel way, to separate the fluid sub-problem from the structure elastodynamics sub-problem. In contrast with traditional loosely-coupled schemes, no iterations are necessary between the fluid and structure sub-problems; this is due to the fact that our novel splitting strategy uses the “added mass effect” to stabilize rather than to destabilize the numerical algorithm. This stabilizing effect is obtained by employing the kinematic lateral boundary condition to establish a tight link between the velocities of the fluid and of the structure in each sub-problem. The stability of the scheme is discussed on a simplified benchmark problem and we use energy arguments to show that the proposed scheme is unconditionally stable. Due to the crucial role played by the kinematic lateral boundary condition, the proposed algorithm is named the “kinematically coupled scheme”.     

Tunneling of Dirac Particles from a Double Myers-Perry Black Hole in?Five?Dimensions

Motivated by the fermions tunneling formalism of Kerner and Mann, we attempt to investigate quantum tunneling of Dirac particles from a five dimensions double Myers-Perry black hole, which describes the superposition of two Myers-Perry black holes, each with a single angular momentum parameter and both in the same plane. After introducing several appropriate Gamma matrixes for the covariant Dirac equation, we obtain the tunneling probability of Dirac particles from the double Myers-Perry black hole, which gives the expected emission temperature as the case of scalar particles that obtained by others.     

Bisplitting an Arbitrary <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Qubit State with a Class of Asymmetric Three-Qubit W States

We propose a tripartite scheme for bisplitting an arbitrary single-qubit quantum information (QI) by using a class of asymmetric three-qubit W state as quantum channels. In the scheme, the sender Alice first performs a Bell-state measurement on her two qubits and then publishes her measurement result via a public classical channel. Based on Alice’s message, if the two receivers Bob and Charlie collaborate together, they can retrieve the QI, i.e., they can deterministically recover the QI in one receiver’s site by first performing a two-qubit unitary operation and then executing a single-qubit unitary operation. Afterwards, we sketch the extension of the single-qubit QI splitting to an arbitrary N-qubit QI splitting.     

Focal depth and focal splitting of truncated hyperbolic-cosine-Gaussian beam induced by phase plate

Focal depth and focal splitting of hyperbolic-cosine-Gaussian beams induced by a phase plate were investigated. The pure phase plate consists of three concentric zones: a center circle zone, an inner annular zone and an outer annular zone. The phase variance of the inner annular zone is adjustable. Simulation results show that the focal depth can be adjusted by changing the radii of zones. With the increase of the inner radius of the outer annular zone, the focal spot broadens along the optical axis and splits into two peaks. Then the two peaks combine back into one peak. There are two critical values for the inner radius of the outer annular zone, at which focal spot changes sharply. The tunable range of the focal depth varies considerably. The phase variance of the inner annular zone affects focal depth also; when the phase variance is π, the effect attains maximum. The parameters of cosh parts of the beam affect both focal splitting and focal depth evidently; focal splitting disappears with increasing parameters of cosh parts, and focal depth increases with increasing the parameters of cosh parts in both the low and the high numerical-aperture optical systems.

Charge‐Transfer Mechanism in Pt/KTa(Zr)O3 Photocatalysts Modified with Porphyrinoids for Water Splitting

The mechanism of photocatalytic splitting of H₂O into H₂ and O₂ on Pt/KTa(Zr)O₃ modified with various porphyrinoids was investigated. The photocatalytic activity of KTaO₃ catalysts is improved by dye modification. Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B₁₂) is the most effective for improving water‐splitting activity, and the formation rates of H₂ and O₂ achieved values of 575 and 280 μmol g_cat.^?1 h^?1, respectively. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra of KTa(Zr)O₃ photocatalysts showed that Pt loaded onto dye‐modified KTaO₃ was slightly oxidized and had low catalytic activity for the H₂ oxidation reaction. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of KTaO₃ catalysts suggested that excitation energy was transferred between KTaO₃, tetraphenylporphyrinatochromium(III) (Cr–TPP), and the Pt cocatalyst. The wavelength dependence of the activity of dye‐modified KTa(Zr)O₃ photocatalysts indicated that excitation of both KTa(Zr)O₃ and the dye was essential for achieving increased photocatalytic activity. This result suggests that two‐step excitation occurred in the dye‐modified KTa(Zr)O₃ photocatalysts. Because the lifetime of the charge‐separated state increased, this study reveals that modification with porphyrinoids is effective for increasing water‐splitting activity.
