in this paper, a thermoelasticity solution for steady state response of thick cylinders which are subjected to pressure and external heat flux in inner surface is presented. displacement field obeys the kinematics of the first order shear deformation theory (fsdt). it is assumed that the temperature varies both along the length and the thickness. the variation of the temperature occurs linearly...

Convenient and inexpensive methods to pattern the facets of optical fibers with metallic nanostructures would enable many applications. This communication reports a method to generate and transfer arrays of metallic nanostructures to the cleaved facets of optical fibers. The process relies on nanoskiving, in which an ultramicrotome, equipped with a diamond knife, sections epoxy nanostructures c...

The generalized dual series solution to the scattering of an E-polarized (E-pol) plane wave from an infinite circular cylinder having ?n infinite axial slot and enclosing an infinite concentric impedance cylinder is presented. This solufion explicitly exhibits the correct edge behavior, and it can handle cylinders that are either electrically small or large without special considerations. The a...

The linear stability of the flow between concentric cylinders, with the inner cylinder rotating at a constant angular velocity and the outer cylinder with an angular velocity varying harmonically about a zero mean, is addressed. The bifurcations of the base state are analyzed using Floquet theory, paying particular attention to non-axisymmetric bifurcations which are dominant in significant reg...

A novel hybrid finite-element/finite-volume numerical method is developed to determine the capillary rise of a liquid with a free surface (under surface tension and gravitational forces). The few known exact analytical solutions are used to verify the numerical computations and establish their accuracy for a range of liquid contact angles. The numerical method is then used to ascertain the limi...

We present a new class of magnetically shaped deformable liquid mirrors made of a magnetic liquid (ferrofluid). Deformable liquid mirrors offer advantages with respect to deformable solid mirrors: large deformations, low costs and the possibility of very large mirrors with added aberration control. They have some disadvantages (e.g. slower response time). We made and tested a deformable mirror,...

INTRODUCTION Diffusion imaging has traditionally been used to infer information regarding tissue microstructure when the characteristic dimensions of the underlying geometry are smaller than the voxel size. However, the diffusion signal is sensitive to structures whose sizes are comparable to or greater than the voxels of the image. In this work, using a simple system of infinite parallel plane...

Submitted for the DFD10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Magneto-Hydrodynamic Flow of a Binary Electrolyte in a Concentric Annulus1 MIAN QIN, HAIM BAU, University of Pennsylvania — We study theoretically the motion of an electrolyte solution confined between two concentric, metallic cylinders subjected to an electrical potential difference in the presence of an axial magnetic field. Whe...

The axisymmetric flows with swirl or rotation were solved by a hybrid scheme with lattice Boltzmann method for the axial and radial velocities and finite-difference method for the azimuthal (or swirl) velocity and the temperature. An incompressible axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann D2Q9 model was proposed to solve the axial and radial velocities through inserting source terms into the two-dimensio...

The influence of a magnetic field on the dynamics of the flow of a ferrofluid in the gap between two concentric, independently rotating cylinders is investigated numerically. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a hybrid finite difference and Galerkin method. We show that the frequently used assumption that the internal magnetic field within a ferrofluid is equal to the external applied...
