Ion acoustic damping effects on parametric decays of Alfvén waves

Quantum effects on the dispersion of ion acoustic waves

The longitudinal response function for an isotropic, nonrelativistic, thermal plasma with the quantum recoil included exactly is used to generalize the dispersion relation for ion acoustic waves and the absorption coefficient for Landau damping to include the quantum recoil. The results are compared to recent treatment of the dispersion relation derived using a fluid theory with the quantum eff...

Effects of Valve Closing Law and Unsteady Friction Model on Damping Pressure Waves in a Network

Water-hammer is a transient condition which may occur in a network as a result of rapid or slow valve closures, pump failures, changes in turbine loading, etc. It creates high and low pressure waves which travel along the system and decay as a result of wall shear stress. Comparison o experimental and theoretical results revealed the failure of steady or quasi-steady models in correctly predict...
