A modified first-order system least squares formulation for linear elasticity, obtained by adding the antisymmetric displacement gradient in the test space, is analyzed. This approach leads to surprisingly small momentum balance error compared to standard least squares approaches. It is shown that the modified least squares formulation is well-posed and its performance is illustrated by adaptiv...

QuaLiKiz, a model based on a local gyrokinetic eigenvalue solver[1] is expanded to include momentum flux modeling in addition to heat and particle fluxes[2, 3]. Essential for accurate momentum flux predictions, the parallel asymmetrization of the eigenfunctions is successfully recovered by an analytical fluid model. This is tested against self-consistent gyro-kinetic calculations and allows for...

We provide for the first time a complete parametrization for the matrix elements of the generic asymmetric, non-local and gauge-invariant canonical energymomentum tensor, generalizing therefore former works on the symmetric, local and gaugeinvariant kinetic energy-momentum tensor also known as the Belinfante-Rosenfeld energymomentum tensor. We discuss in detail the various constraints imposed b...

A new parameter representing the maximum depth-integrated wave momentum flux occurring over a wave length is proposed for characterizing the wave contribution to nearshore coastal processes on beaches and at coastal structures. This parameter has units of force per unit crest width, and it characterizes flow kinematics in nonbreaking waves at a given depth better than other wave parameters that...

most previous laboratory studies of local scour at bridge abutments were performed in rectangular channels in which the distributions of flow velocity and bed shear stress were considered uniform in the transverse direction. in reality however, bridge abutments are usually located in the floodplain zone of rivers where velocity and shear stress distributions are directly affected by the lat...

The ANKA electron storage ring operates in the energy range from 0.5 to 2.5 GeV. In order to improve machine performance a precise modelling of linear and nonlinear optics is mandatory. Apart from higher order chromaticity also momentum compaction factor and dispersion have to be controlled. In this framework, the higher order momentum compaction factor has been determined exploiting the extrao...

We observed an anomalous linear photogalvanic effect (ALPGE) in undoped InGaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well and studied its wavelength dependence in details. This effect is believed to originate from the optical momentum alignment effect and the inhomogeneity of light intensity. We find that the spot location with the maximum ALPGE current is wavelength independent. And the normalized ALPGE cur...

The asymptotics of Rydberg states, i.e., highly excited bound states of the hydrogen atom Hamiltonian, and various expectations involving these states are investigated. We show that suitable linear combinations of these states, appropriately rescaled and regarded as functions either in momentum space or con guration space, are highly concentrated on classical momentum space or con guration spac...

high weissenberg boundary layer flow of viscoelastic fluids on a stretching surface has been studied. the flow is considered to be steady and two dimensional. flows of viscoelastic liquids at high weissenberg number exhibit stress boundary layers near walls. these boundary layers are caused by the memory of the fluid. upon proper scaling and by means of an exact similarity transformation, the n...

The linear Doppler shift is widely used to infer the velocity of approaching objects, but this shift does not detect rotation. By analyzing the orbital angular momentum of the light scattered from a spinning object, we observed a frequency shift proportional to product of the rotation frequency of the object and the orbital angular momentum of the light. This rotational frequency shift was stil...
