The idea of extending cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments to sub-wavelength sized nanomechanical systems has been recently proposed in the context of optical cavity cooling and optomechanics of deformable cavities. Here we present an experiment involving a single nanorod consisting of about 10(9) atoms precisely positioned into the confined mode of a miniature high finesse Fabry-Pérot mi...

In this paper, a study of mixed convection flow inside a rectangular ventilated cavity in the presence of a heat conducting square cylinder at the center has been carried out. An external fluid flow enters the cavity through an opening in the left vertical wall and exits from another opening in the right vertical wall. The governing equations are transformed into non-dimensional form and the re...

Thermosolutal convection in a square cavity filled with air and submitted to an inclined magnetic field is investigated numerically. The cavity is heated and cooled along the active walls with a mass gradient whereas the two other walls of the cavity are adiabatic and insulated. Entropy generation due to heat and mass transfer, fluid friction and magnetic effect has been determined in transient...
