Jet nozzle is a core component of the hydraulic perforating fracturing tool, and design structure directly affects effectiveness efficiency. In this paper, flow field characteristics nozzles are calculated by SST k- ω turbulence model. The results show that parameters significantly influence jet performance. Through orthogonal experiments, conical-cylindrical geometric preliminarily optimized a...

This work documents how the midlatitude, eddy-driven jets respond to climate change using model output from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The authors consider separately the North Atlantic, the North Pacific, and the Southern Hemisphere jets. The analysis is not limited to annualmean changes in the latitude and speed of the jets, but also explores how the variabi...

The large-scale motions of planetary atmospheres and oceans, constrained by strong stable stratification and rapid rotation, are characterized in part by quasi-two dimensional turbulent motion and in part by coherent structures, such as vortices, zonal jets, and low-frequency waves. These motions are intimately linked and understanding their complex and multiscale interactions presents a comple...

We report on the observation of rapid particle acceleration in numerical simulations of relativistic jet-plasma interactions and discuss the underlying mechanisms. The dynamics of a charge-neutral, narrow, electron-positron jet propagating through an unmagnetized electron-ion plasma was investigated using a three-dimensional, electromagnetic, particle-in-cell computer code. The interaction exci...

New pseudo-scalars, often called axion-like particles (ALPs), abound in modelbuilding and are often associated with the breaking of a new symmetry. Traditional searches and indirect bounds are limited to light axions, typically in or below the KeV range for ALPs coupled to photons. We present collider bounds on ALPs from mono-γ, tri-γ and mono-jet searches in a model independent fashion, as wel...

The wind velocity and temperature profiles observed in the middle atmosphere (altitude: 10-100 km) show perturbations resulting from superposition of various atmospheric waves, including atmospheric gravity waves. Atmospheric gravity waves are known to play an important role in determining the general circulation in the middle atmosphere by dynamical stresses caused by gravity wave breaking. In...

In nucleus-nucleus collisions, high-p(T) partons interact with a dense medium, which possesses strong collective flow components. Here, we demonstrate that the resulting medium-induced gluon radiation does not depend solely on the energy density of the medium, but also on the collective flow. Both components can be disentangled by the measurement of particle production associated with high-p(T)...

It is shown that the azimuthal dependence of the distribution of hadrons in a quark jet is a probe of the transverse spin of the quark initiating the jet. This results in a new spin-dependent fragmentation function that acts at the twist-2 level. One example of a process where it contributes is semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering with a transversely polarized nucleon target but with an u...
