The present investigation deals  with the reflection and transmission phenomenon due to incident plane longitudinal wave at a plane interface between inviscid fluid half-space and a thermoelastic diffusion solid half-space with dual-phase-lag heat transfer (DPLT) and dual-phase-lag diffusion (DPLD) models. The theory of thermoelasticity with dual-phase-lag heat transfer developed by Roychoudhar...

Morpho butterflies are well known for their brilliant iridescent colors, which arise from periodic arrays of scales. These brilliant colors have a low angle dependence, in contrast to similar phenomena that are commonly caused by the periodic structures. We designed a structure with a low incident and viewing angle dependence inspired by Morpho butterflies. This structure was studied using the ...

Three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of hyperthermal copper atom impacts with copper surfaces have been used to investigate the effects of incident atom energy upon atomic reflection and resputtering during physical vapor deposition. No reflection or resputtering has been observed for incident energies below 10 eV. However, as the incident energy was increased to 20 eV and above, th...

The geometry of a collector is one of the important factors that can increase the incident radiation on the collector surface. In the present study, the incident radiation for a stationary collector with cone geometry, i.e. a conical collector, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. This type of collector is always stable and does not need a fixture to install. Moreover, it has a...

monte carlo simulation is widely used in calculations involing transport of photons through different materials of different shapes. the method consists of randomly generating a finite set of photon histories over which the quantities of interest are averaged. in photon transport calculations, sampling the photon scattering angle from the klein-nishina probability distribution is of special imp...
