Abstract The gravitational wave spacecraft is a complex multi-input multi-output dynamic system. The gravitational wave detection mission requires the spacecraft to achieve single spacecraft with two laser links and high-precision control. Establishing one spacecraft with two laser links, compared to one spacecraft with a single laser link, requires an upgraded decoupling algorithm for the link establishment. The decoupling algorithm we designed reassigns the degrees of freedom and forces in the control loop to ensure sufficient degrees of freedom for optical axis control. In addressing the distinct dynamic characteristics of different degrees of freedom, a transfer function compensation method is used in… More >

Abstract This work is devoted to the experimental study of inertial wave regimes in a non-uniform rotating cylinder with antiparallel inclined ends. In this setting, the cross-section of the cylinder is divided into two regions where the fluid depth increases or decreases with radius. Three different regimes are found: inertial wave attractor, global oscillations (the cavity’s resonant modes) and regime of symmetric reflection of wave beams. In linear wave regimes, a steady single vortex elongated along the rotation axis is generated. The location of the wave’s interaction with the sloping ends determines the vortex position and the vorticity sign. In non-linear… More >

Abstract The formation of convective flows in a rotating cylindrical layer with an inclined bottom and free surface is studied. Convection is driven by localized cooling at the center of the upper free surface and by rim heating at the bottom near the sidewall. The horizontal temperature difference in a rotating layer leads to the formation of a convective flow with a complex structure. The mean meridional circulation, consisting of three cells, provides a strongly non-uniform differential rotation. As a result of the instability of the main cyclonic zonal flow, the train of baroclinic waves appears in the upper layer. The… More >

Abstract We present a calculation of the thermally generated electromagnetic flux propagating along the in-plane direction of a polar, thin film. The approach is based on fluctuational electrodynamics and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We find that for silicon carbide films between 5 nm and 100 nm thick, the thinner films transport more in-plane flux due to the long propagation length of the anti-symmetric surface phonon-polariton mode. Comparison of results obtained from the fluctuation-dissipation approach and the kinetic theory approach shows favorable agreement. More >

Abstract Despite the use of liquid films in a wide variety of technical applications involving heat and mass transfer (e.g. nuclear reactors, cooling towers and gas turbines), where they often play an important role, the underlying momentum and heat transport processes within these thin liquid layers remain to be fully elucidated. In particular, this applies to the influence that surface waves, developing due to the film’s natural instability, exert on the mentioned processes. In this context, it has been suggested by several experimental and numerical observations that momentum and heat transfer in the capillary wave region (which precedes large surface waves)… More >

Abstract The flapping foils with appropriate locomotion inspired by the high-aspect-ratio appendages from natural animals promise a new technical solution for the propulsion of both aircrafts and marine vehicles. The artificial devices using such a novel thrust system are possibly placed in a stratified flow due to the fact that the stratification is ubiquitous throughout real-world environment. Based on a series of two-dimensional numerical simulations, the propulsive performance and wake structure of a fully-activated flapping foil in a density stratified fluid are investigated in this work. It is found that the hydrodynamic characteristics of flapping foils in the stratified flow show… More >

Abstract The goal of this research is to develop a new, simplified analytical method known as the ARA-residue power series method for obtaining exact-approximate solutions employing Caputo type fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) with variable coefficient. ARA-transform is a robust and highly flexible generalization that unifies several existing transforms. The key concept behind this method is to create approximate series outcomes by implementing the ARA-transform and Taylor’s expansion. The process of finding approximations for dynamical fractional-order PDEs is challenging, but the ARA-residual power series technique magnifies this challenge by articulating the solution in a series pattern and then determining the series… More >

Abstract Structural health monitoring (SHM) is considered an effective approach to analyze the efficient working of several mechanical components. For this purpose, ultrasonic guided waves can cover long-distance and assess large infrastructures in just a single test using a small number of transducers. However, the working of the SHM mechanism can be affected by some sources of variations (i.e., environmental). To improve the final results of ultrasonic guided wave inspections, it is necessary to highlight and attenuate these environmental variations. The loading parameters, temperature and humidity have been recognized as the core environmental sources of variations that affect the SHM sensing… More >

Abstract The dynamical response of materials to multiple shock waves is a critical issue in shock physics and engineering applications. In this work, hydrodynamic simulations are used to investigate the shock-induced spall failure and subsequent recompression characteristics of tin, under the implementation of a multiphase equation of state, multi-phase constitutive relations, and a damage model. As within experiments, double shock loadings in simulations are driven by layered impactors with different shock impedances. In general, our numerical calculations agree well with recent tin spall experiments and reproduce the free surface velocity characteristics. Interesting dynamic behaviors such as tin shock compression, dynamic tensile… More >

Abstract The responses of metals subjected to super high rates of deformation (> 10!/�), as shocking loading, is an area of active research. At such extreme loading rates, subsonic, transonic, and even supersonic dislocation (compared with the shear wave speed in metals) play a crucial role in plastic deformation. The behavior of high-speed dislocations is much more complex than that of quasi-static dislocations under static loads, as their self-force is history-dependent, and their evolution of density is rate-relevant. However, the fundamental questions regarding the self-force and evolution of high-speed dislocations in impacted materials is largely unknown. To address this gap, this… More >
