We give an example of a spacetime having an infinite thin rotating cylindrical shell constituted by a charged perfect fluid as a source. As the interior of the shell the Bonnor–Melvin universe is considered, while its exterior is represented by Datta– Raychaudhuri spacetime. We discuss the energy conditions and we show that our spacetime contains closed timelike curves. Trajectories of charged ...

We have explored the magnetosphere described by a numerical solution for an axisymmetric rotating field satisfying the force-free and ideal MHD conditions everywhere. The electric current distribution is determined by the requirement of continuity and smoothness of the flux function across the light cylinder. The overall magnetic field structure is obtained using the numerical result. We also c...

Electrograms stored in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD-EGM) have been proven to convey useful information for roughly determining the anatomical location of the Left Ventricular Tachycardia exit site (LVTES). Our aim here was to evaluate the possibilities from a machine learning system intended to provide an estimation of the LVTES anatomical region with the use of ICD-EGM in the s...

The cylindrical Couette flow of a rarefied gas is investigated, under the diffuse-specular reflection condition of Maxwell's type on the cylinders, in the case where the inner cylinder is rotating whereas the outer cylinder is at rest. The inverted velocity profile for small accommodation coefficients, pointed out by Tibbs, Baras, and Garcia [Phys. Rev. E 56, 2282 (1997)] on the basis of a Mont...

The trajectory of the polarization state of a monochromatic light beam after it passes through a fixed linear polarizer and a rotating linear retarder of arbitrary retardance delta is determined on the Poincaré sphere. The three-dimensional figure-8 contour is shown to be the line of intersection of a right-circular cylinder with the sphere. The cylinder is parallel to the polar (S3) axis, touc...

A variational principie is presented which characterises steady motions of inviscid, rotating, stratitied fluids. This is used to construct nonlinear solutions corresponding to stationary cold-core and warm-core eddies above topography in a uniform stream. Nurnerical resultç are presented for the specific case of a right circular cylinder. The results show that below a critica1 free-strearn vel...

The coupled thermomechanical behaviour of a layer of thermorheologically simple material bonded to a uniformly rotating rigid cylinder and indented by another rigid cylinder is studied by the finite element method. The various approximations necessary to reduce the problem to one of tractable size and the computational methods used are discussed in some detail. The complete thermal, deformation...

A heavy sphere is free to move inside a rotating horizontal cylinder filled with viscous liquid. The steady motion is essentially Stokesian, and the sphere rotates at a fixed location with a lubrication layer between the ball and the wall. The symmetry of the flow field suggests there will be no force to balance the normal component of the ball's weight. However, we show that a normal force can...
