Light scattering by a sphere has long been interest of studying and developing different microscopies that are used for studying different objects such as biological cells, molecules, atoms. The generalized Lorenz-Mie theory (GLMT) has been well developed for analyzing the scattering effects. In this paper, we present a novel interpretation of the scattering mechanism. A converging beam becomes...

Earlier work has confirmed that (i) observers can judge divergent receding lines, placed directly in front of them, to be parallel, and (ii) converging lines which are displaced laterally, so that they are viewed obliquely, can also be judged to be parallel. The former observation is in accord with traditional views of perspective while the latter, which is in accord with the depictions of obje...

The present work numerically investigates vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of a two-dimensional circular cylinder with an axisymmetric slit at Reynolds number 500. study examines the effects shape (i.e., converging, diverging, and parallel slits), effect slit-area ratios, slit-width, its angle freestream velocity on aerodynamic forces, vibration response, associated flow characteristics. results...

Background and Purpose of the Study: Students have different styles of learning which can be part of the reason why some students do not learn adequately despite prominent professors. The present research assists students to come to know the different aspects of their personality go for the right learning and studying styles and be high-achievers in studies. Considering the significance of lear...

[1] Alluvial fan deltas are built by aggrading and avulsing river channels. A numerical model of flow and sediment transport in channels is combined with a condition for channel avulsion to describe evolution of the fan surface. The model combines elements of two recent approaches: (1) diffusional models of depositional basin filling, which describe the evolution of overall morphology, and (2) ...
