Abstract—A rigorous semi-analytical solution is presented for electromagnetic scattering from an array of circular cylinders due to an obliquely incident plane wave. The cylinders are illuminated by either TMz or TEz incident plane wave. The solution is based on the application of the boundary conditions on the surface of each cylinder in terms of the local coordinate system of each individual ...

A long cylindrical body of circular cross-section and homogeneous density may float in all orientations around the cylinder axis. It is shown that there are also bodies of non-circular cross-sections which may float in any direction. Apart from those found by Auerbach for ρ = 1/2 there are one-parameter families of cross-sections for ρ = 1/2 which have a p-fold rotation axis. For given p they e...

The Maryland Electron Ring [1] is designed to explore the transport of beams with much higher space charge than other circular machines. In addition, the ring functions as a testbed for design and simulation codes. Applications such as Heavy Ion Fusion and High Intensity Colliders require the preservation of beam quality during transport over large distances. This paper describes the applicatio...

A novel attract-and-kill trap for olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was constructed with yellow corrugated plastic in an inverted cylindrical pan shape formed from a disk and collar. The trap components were tested under three greenhouse temperatures and humidities of warm, hot, and very hot for attractiveness to caged young or older adults. A greater proportion ...

A very general beam solution of the paraxial wave equation in circular cylindrical coordinates is presented. We call such a field a circular beam (CiB). The complex amplitude of the CiB is described by either the Whittaker functions or the confluent hypergeometric functions and is characterized by three parameters that are complex in the most general situation. The propagation through complex A...

A stable meniscus is formed by a circular nozzle dispensing water over a heated circular face of a rotating cylindrical copper block. The nozzle is offset from the axis of rotation of the copper block and thus a moving meniscus is formed on the surface. The water flow rate, heater surface temperature, and the speed of rotation are controlled to provide a stable meniscus with continuous evaporat...

New techniques to evaluate the clock effect using light are described. These are based on the flatness of the cylindrical surface containing the world lines of the rays constrained to move on circular trajectories about a spinning mass. The effect of the angular momentum of the source is manifested in the fact that inertial observers must be replaced by local non rotating observers. Starting fr...

This paper concerns the Stokes flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past a swarm of porous nanocylindrical particles enclosing a solid cylindrical core with Kuwabara boundary condition. An aggregate of porous nanocylindrical particles is considered as a hydro-dynamically equivalent to a solid cylindrical core with concentric porous cylindrical shell. The Brinkman equation inside the porous c...

Let A be a set of trivariate irreducible integral polynomials and let D be an A-invariant cylindrical algebraic decomposition (cad) of three-dimensional space. This paper presents a new algorithm for determining the interstack adjacencies in D over a given non-nullifying (for A) 0-cell, 1-cell adjacency in the cad D 0 of the plane induced by D. We show that this new adjacency algorithm for thre...
