Spherical particle Brownian motion in viscous medium as non-Markovian random process

The Brownian motion of a spherical particle in an infinite medium is described by the conventional methods and integral transforms considering the entrainment of surrounding particles of the medium by the Brownian particle. It is demonstrated that fluctuations of the Brownian particle velocity represent a non-Markovian random process. The features of Brownian motion in short time intervals and in small displacements are considered.     

Emission spectra simulation of calcium plasmas in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium

We use previous high-quality experimental spectra to test the accuracy of atomic data and the validity of the collisional－radiative (CR) model used in this paper. The synthetic spectrum with electron temperature log T_e(K)=6.745 and electron density n_e=6.0×10^{13}cm^{-3}, which almost reproduces the experimental spectra, is presented. Nearly all the features of the experimental spectra were identified. The results of the CR modelling for the emission spectra of calcium plasmas all agree well with the measured spectral line intensities within the experimental error for most of the lines. Furthermore, we make the electron temperature diagnostic through the synthetic spectrum and population fractions of every ionization state as a function of charge state at different electron temperatures, as well as the electron density diagnostic through the intensity ratios of two lines of Be-like calcium and three lines of C-like calcium. A good agreement between the calculated values and the measured ones is found.     

Random Motions at Finite Speed in Higher Dimensions

We present a general method of studying the transport process , t≥0, in the Euclidean space ℝ ^m , m≥2, based on the analysis of the integral transforms of its distributions. We show that the joint characteristic functions of are connected with each other by a convolution-type recurrent relation. This enables us to prove that the characteristic function (Fourier transform) of in any dimension m≥2 satisfies a convolution-type Volterra integral equation of second kind. We give its solution and obtain the characteristic function of in terms of the multiple convolutions of the kernel of the equation with itself. An explicit form of the Laplace transform of the characteristic function in any dimension is given. The complete solution of the problem of finding the initial conditions for the governing partial differential equations, is given. We also show that, under the standard Kac condition on the speed of the motion and on the intensity of the switching Poisson process, the transition density of the isotropic transport process converges to the transition density of the m-dimensional homogeneous Brownian motion with zero drift and diffusion coefficient depending on the dimension m. We give the conditional characteristic functions of the isotropic transport process in terms of the inverse Laplace transform of the powers of the Gauss hypergeometric function. Some important models of the isotropic transport processes in lower dimensions are considered and some known results are derived as the particular cases of our general model by means of the method developed.     

Inflow conditions for spatial direct numerical simulation of turbulent boundary layers

The inflow conditions for spatial direct numerical simulation (SDNS) of turbulent boundary layers should reflect the characteristics of upstream turbulence, which is a puzzle. In this paper a new method is suggested, in which the flow field obtained by using temporal direct numerical simulation (TDNS) for fully developed turbulent flow (only flow field for a single moment is sufficient) can be used as the inflow of SDNS with a proper transformation. The calculation results confirm that this method is feasible and effective. It is also found that, under a proper time-space transformation, all statistics of the fully developed turbulence obtained by both temporal mode and spatial mode DNS are in excellent agreement with each other, not only qualitatively, but also quantitatively. The normal-wise distributions of mean flow profile, turbulent Mach number and the root mean square (RMS) of the fluctuations of various variables, as well as the Reynolds stresses of the fully developed turbulence obtained by using SDNS, bear similarity in nature.

Structural and optical properties of nanocrystalline ZnO thin films synthesized by the citrate precursor route

Nanocrystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been deposited by spin-coating polymeric precursors synthesized by the citrate precursor route using ethylene glycol and citric acid as chelating agents. The ZnO thin films were annealed in air at different temperatures for 10 min. The films were characterized by different structural and optical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical transmission spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL). The thermal decomposition of polymeric precursor was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). XRD analysis with grazing incidence and rocking curves indicate that the ZnO films are polycrystalline with preferential orientation along the c-axis direction with a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 0.31° for 600 °C-annealed samples. On annealing, the texturing in films increased along with a decrease in FWHM. AFM micrographs illustrate that the ZnO films are crack-free with well-dispersed homogeneous and uniformly distributed spherical morphology. The synthesized ZnO thin films have transparency >85% in the visible region exhibiting band edge at 375 nm, which becomes sharper with anneal. Room temperature PL spectra of these films show strong ultraviolet (UV) emission around 392 nm with an increase in intensity with annealing temperature, attributed to grain growth. Deconvolution of the PL spectra reveals that there is coupling of free excitons with higher orders of longitudinal optical (LO) phonon replicas leading to a broad asymmetric near-band-edge peak.     

Finite difference method for 2-D and 3-D nonlinear free surface wave problems

A finite difference method is developed for the numerical modelling of the 2-D and 3-D unsteady potential flow generated by transient disturbances on the free surface, on which the nonlinear boundary conditions are fully satisfied. The unknown function is computed with an iteration scheme processing in a transformed time-invariant space. After the velocity is calculated, the location of the free surface is renewed and so is the value of velocity on it. The boundary-value problem of the governing equation is then solved at the next time step. The present method incorporates the FFT. Consequently, a tri-diagonal equation system is obtained which could be readily solved. The feasibility of this method has been demonstrated by 2-D and 3-D examples corresponding to different initial disturbances. This work is supported by the science foundation of Academia Sinica. The paper had been accepted by the XVIth International Congress of IUTAM, Lyngby, Denmark, August, 1984.     

An observation on the effect of fluctuations far from equilibrium: The Lotka-Volterra model

Spontaneous fluctuations in the Lotka-Volterra model of chemical reactions are known to grow in an unbounded way when species held in excess are neglected. This result is obtained in a simple way using generalized fluctuation-dissipation principles but appears to be an artifact of ignoring fluctuations in the variables that are held fixed. When fluctuations in the other concentrations are included in the model, the spontaneous fluctuations become bounded.This work was supported by the National Science Foundation through Research Grant No. MPS 74-00483 AO1.     

Hydrodynamic equations for attractive particle systems on ℤ

Hydrodynamic properties for a class of nondiffusive particle systems are investigated. The method allows one to study local equilibria for a class of asymmetric zero-range processes, and applies as well to other models, such as asymmetric simple exclusion and misanthropes. Attractiveness is an essential ingredient. The hydrodynamic equations present shock wave phenomena. Preservation of local equilibrium is proven to hold away from the shocks. The problem of breakdown of local ergodicity at the shocks, which was investigated by D. Wick in a particular model, remains open in this more general setup.
