چکیده

The measurement of the strength of atmospheric optical turbulence by use of a modified generalized SCIDAR (scintillation detection and ranging) inversion technique is outlined and demonstrated. This new method for normalizing and inverting scintillation covariances incorporates the geometry specific to generalized SCIDAR. Examples of profiles from two astronomical observation sites are presented.

Effects of Hall Current and Rotation in Modified Couple Stress Generalized Thermoelastic Half Space due to Ramp-Type Heating

The objective is to study the deformation in a homogeneous isotropic modified couple stress thermoelastic rotating medium in the presence of Hall current and magnetic field due to a ramp-type thermal source. The generalized theories of thermoelasticity developed by Lord Shulman (L-S, 1967) and Green Lindsay (G-L, 1972) are used to investigate the problem. Laplace and Fourier transform technique...

Thermo-Viscoelastic Interaction Subjected to Fractional Fourier law with Three-Phase-Lag Effects

In this paper, a new mathematical model of a Kelvin-Voigt type thermo-visco-elastic, infinite thermally conducting medium has been considered in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction having a non-local fractional order due to the presence of periodically varying heat sources. Three-phase-lag thermoelastic model, Green Naghdi models II and III (i.e., the models which predicts the...

Fractional Order Generalized Thermoelastic Functionally Graded Solid with Variable Material Properties

In this work, a new mathematical model of thermoelasticity theory has been considered in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction with fractional order theory. A functionally graded isotropic unbounded medium is considered subjected to a periodically varying heat source in the context of space-time non-local generalization of three-phase-lag thermoelastic model and Green-Naghdi mod...

Boundary Value Problems in Generalized Thermodiffusive Elastic Medium

In the present study, the boundary value problems in generalized thermodiffusive elastic medium has been investigated as a result of inclined load. The inclined load is assumed to be a linear combination of normal load and tangential load. Laplace transform with respect to time variable and Fourier transform with respect to space variable are applied to solve the problem. As an application of t...

Horizontal scintillation detection and ranging Cn2(z) estimation.

The strength of optical turbulence, Cn2(z), 2-3 m above ground level, was measured as a function of distance along a 1.23-km path by the simultaneous capture of the scintillation from two infrared laser sources. The data collected differ in a number of important aspects from the normal vertical scintillation detection and ranging (SCIDAR) data in astronomy. The SCIDAR inversion method for the h...
