We study the dynamics of one dimensional iterative maps in the regime of fully developed chaos. Introducing the concept of the turning points we extract from the chaotic trajectories the corresponding turning point trajectories which represent a strongly correlated part of the chaotic dynamics of the system. The density of turning points exhibits step like structures at the positions of the uns...

In conventional solar cells, photogenerated carriers lose part of their energy before they can be extracted to make electricity. The aim hot-carrier cells is extract the this loss, thereby turning more into electrical power. This requires extracting in a nonequilibrium (nonthermal) distribution. Here, we investigate performance for such distributions. We propose quantum transport model which ea...

This paper presents an adjoint-based shape optimization framework and its demonstration in a conjugate heat transfer problem turbine blading. The gradient of the objective function is computed based on continuous adjoint method, which also includes to turbulence model. Differences resulting from making frozen assumption are discussed. developed software was used optimize both blade internally c...
