Effect of ignition energy on the uncertainty in the determination of laminar flame speed using outwardly propagating spherical flames

The initial propagation processes of expanding spherical flames of CH₄/N₂/O₂/He mixtures at different ignition energies were investigated experimentally and numerically to reduce the effect of ignition energy on the accurate determination of laminar flame speeds. The experiments were conducted in a constant-volume combustion bomb at initial pressures of 0.07???0.7?MPa, initial temperatures of 298???398?K, and equivalence ratios of 0.9???1.3 with various Lewis numbers. The A-SURF program was employed to simulate the corresponding flame propagation processes. The results show that elevating the ignition energy increases the initial flame propagation speed and expands the range of flame trajectory which is affected by ignition energy, but the increase rates of the speed and range decrease with the ignition energy. Based on the trend of the minimum flame propagation speed during the initial period with the ignition energy, the minimum reliable ignition energy (MRIE) is derived by considering the initial flame propagation speed and energy conservation. It is observed that MRIE first decreases and then increases with the increasing equivalence ratio and monotonously decreases with increasing initial pressure and temperature. As the Lewis number rises, MRIE increases. The results also suggest that during the data processing of the spherical flame experiment, the accuracy of determination of laminar flame speeds can be enhanced when taking the flame radius influenced by MRIE as the lower limit of the flame radius range. Then the flame radius influenced by MRIE was defined as RFR. It can also be found that there exist nonlinear relationships between RFR and the equivalence ratio and Lewis number, and the RFR decreases with increasing initial pressure and temperature.     

A method to recover water-wave profiles from pressure measurements

An operational formulation is proposed for reconstructing a time series of water surface displacement from waves using measurements of pressure. The approach is based on the fully nonlinear formulation for pressure below traveling-wave solutions of Euler’s equations developed by Oliveras, Vasan, Deconinck and Henderson. Its validity is tested using experiments in which both the pressure and the surface displacement are measured. The experiments include a wave system that is Galilean invariant – cnoidal waves, and wave systems that are not – reflected cnoidal waves and wave groups. We find that since the proposed formulation is nonlinear, it reproduces the amplitude spectrum of the measured surface displacements better than the hydrostatic model and better than the linear model that takes into account the pressure response factor due to small amplitude waves (the transfer function). Both the proposed formula and the transfer function reconstruct the surface reasonably well, with the proposed formula’s being about 5% more accurate.

Similarity-Projection Structures: The Logical Geometry of Quantum Physics

Similarity-Projection structures abstract the numerical properties of real scalar product of rays and projections in Hilbert spaces to provide a more general framework for Quantum Physics. They are characterized by properties that possess direct physical meaning. They provide a formal framework that subsumes both classical Boolean logic concerned with sets and subsets and quantum logic concerned with Hilbert space, closed subspaces and projections. They shed light on the role of the phase factors that are central to Quantum Physics. The generalization of the notion of a self-adjoint operator to SP-structures provides a novel notion that is free of linear algebra. This work was partially supported by the Jean and Helene Alfassa fund for research in Artificial Intelligence.     

The Characteristic Noise Connected with Continuous Measurement in Classical System without Memory

In the present paper we propose the way of passage from quantum theory of continuous measurements based on the Lindblad equation to its “classical” analog. The last one describes the influence of continuous measurement on the behavior of macroscopical Markov system. Such theory can be represented in the form of the Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution function of measured system. The diffusion tensor of this equation is uniquely determined by a type of the measured quantity. As the example of using of the approach proposed we describe the stationary states of linear dissipative systems induced by measurements in them. We consider possible qualitative effects connected with measurements also. In particular we demonstrate on the simple example, how in the macroscopic system, consisting of noninteracting parts, measurement of global integral of motion results in relaxation to the quasi-thermodynamic equilibrium between parts of the system. The “temperature” of such state is determined by the total energy of the system and by mean value of measured quantity.
