The present work demonstrates an electro-optic polymer-based Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator fabricated utilizing advanced ultraviolet (UV) imprinting and aligned ink-jet printing technologies for patterning and layer deposition. The bottom electrode layer is designed and directly ink-jet printed on the substrate to form the patterned layer. The waveguide structure is formed into a bottom cladding ...

Abstract. Non-idealized wind profiles frequently occur over the Baltic Sea and are important to take into consideration for offshore power, as they affect not only power production but also loads on structure behavior of wake behind turbine. In this observational study, we classified non-idealized following having negative shear in at least one part lidar profile between 28 300 m: low-level jet...

a novel neuro-based method is introduced to solve the laminar boundary layer and the turbulent free jet equations. the proposed method is based on cellular neural networks, cnns, which are recently applied widely to solve partial differential equations. the effectiveness of the method is illustrated through some examples.

We study a fluid jet descending through stratified surroundings at low Reynolds number in Hele-Shaw flow. The jet buckles and overturns inside a conduit of entrained fluid which supports smooth or unstable traveling waves. A model of the recirculating flow within the conduit shows that buckling and waves arise from Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities and quantitatively accounts for the main experime...

A robust feature of the observed response to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is an altered circulation in the lower stratosphere. When sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the tropical Pacific are warmer there is enhanced upwelling and cooling in the tropical lower stratosphere and downwelling and warming in the midlatitudes, while the opposite is true of cooler SSTs. The midlatitude lower st...

Abstract This study examines whether the spread in the climate sensitivity of CoupledModel Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models also captures the spread in the Southern Hemisphere dynamical response to greenhouse gas forcing. Three metrics are proposed to quantify the “dynamical sensitivity” of the Southern Hemisphere: the poleward expansion of the Hadley circulation, the poleward exp...

For some anisotropic wave models, the PML (perfectly matched layer) method of open boundaries can become polynomially or exponentially unstable in time. In this work we present a new method of open boundaries, the phase space filter, which is stable for all wave equations. Outgoing waves can be characterized as waves located near the boundary of the computational domain with group velocities po...

The effect of boundary layer thickness on diamond film formation in an atmospheric pressure plasma was investigated by adding argon to the methane-hydrogen reactant jet so as to increase the jet momentum. It was found that argon addition significantly increased the range of conditions over which well-faceted, continuous diamond film could be grown. A numerical model was developed to predict the...

Abstract The physical processes driving the genesis of surface- and subsurface-intensified cyclonic anticyclonic eddies originating from coastal current system Mauritanian upwelling region are investigated using a high-resolution (∼1.5 km) configuration GFDL’s Modular Ocean Model. Estimating an energy budget for boundary reveals baroclinically unstable state during its intensification phase in ...
