In this paper, the e ect of transmitter beam size on the performance of free space optical (FSO) communication has been determined experimentally. Irradiance pro le for varying turbulence strength is obtained using optical turbulence generating (OTG) chamber inside laboratory environment. Based on the results, an optimum beam size is investigated using the semi-analytical method. Moreover, the ...

by Junye Wang A computational study is carried out to investigate the noise generated by a ten-bladed rotor ingesting low-Mach-number turbulent flow. Two types of turbulent inflows are considered: homogeneous and isotropic turbulence mimicking gridgenerated turbulence in a previous experiment and a turbulent cylinder wake. A hybrid computational approach combining LES with Lighthill’s aeroacous...

[1] A superposed‐epoch analysis of ACE and OMNI2 measurements is performed on 27 corotating interaction regions (CIRs) in 2003–2008, with the zero epoch taken to be the stream interface as determined by the maximum of the plasma vorticity. When the measurements are rotated into the local‐Parker‐spiral coordinate system, the shear is seen to be abrupt. Converging flows are seen; about half of th...

Recent global economic meltdown has opened many avenues of discussion and leaving various questions with its affects. One of them is fate of quality management and its necessity during and after the economic recession. It is established fact that management commitment is one of the most critical success factors to achieve best possible results of quality management implementation. So quality of...

AIrstrati-Using plasma parameters from a typical stormtime ionospheric energy balance model, we have investigated the effects of plasma turbulence on the amoral magnetoplasma. The turbulence is assumed to be comprised of electrostatic ion cyclotron waves. These waves have been driven to a nonthermal level by a geomagnetic field-aligned, current-driven instability. The evolution of this instabil...

The main long-term goal of the project is two-fold: to further develop a new venue in modeling of turbulent mixing using a new spectral theory of turbulence, the quasi-normal scale elimination (QNSE), and to improve the nowcasts and forecasts of the state of the ocean on sub-mesoand mesoscales. The QNSE theory brings turbulence modeling to a new level as it allows one to obtain analytical resul...

Turbulent motions are believed to regulate angular momentum transport and influence dust evolution in protoplanetary disks. Measuring the strength of turbulence is challenging through gas line observations because requirement for high spatial spectral resolution data, an exquisite determination temperature. In this work, taking well-known HD 163296 disk as example, we investigated contrast gaps...

We present estimates of turbulent fluxes of heat and momentum derived from low level (∼30 m) aircraft measurements over the tropical Eastern Pacific and provide empirical relationships that are valid under high wind speed conditions (up to 25 ms−1). The estimates of total momentum flux and turbulent kinetic energy can be represented very accurately (r2=0.99, when data are binned every 1 ms−1) b...

This paper illustrates the challenges imposed by the atmospheric channel on the design of a terrestrial laser communication link. The power loss due to scattering effect is described using the Kim/Kruse scattering model while the effect and the penalty imposed by atmospheric turbulence is highlighted by considering the bit error rate (BER) of an OnOff Keying modulated link in an optical Poisson...
