this paper investigates the radiative absorptivity of a spherical cavity by using monte carlo techniques. several parameters such as the angle of incoming radiation which inters the cavity for both diffuse wall cavity and specular wall cavity has been  investigated. the absorptivity of a spherical cavity has been calculated and compared with the exact values when the angle of incoming radiation...

The line-tension effects on heterogeneous nucleation are considered when a spherical lens-shaped nucleus is nucleated on top of a spherical substrate and on the bottom of the wall of a spherical cavity. The effect of line tension on the nucleation barrier can be separated from the usual volume term. As the radius of the substrate increases, the nucleation barrier decreases and approaches that o...

The cavity expansion theory is most widely used to predict the depth of penetration of concrete targets. The main purpose of this work is to clarify the differences between the spherical and cylindrical cavity expansion models and their scope of application in predicting the penetration depths of concrete targets. The factors that influence the dynamic cavity expansion process of concrete mater...

The emission characteristics for molecules in a spherical metallic microcavity are computed using a nonlocal electrodynamic model, based on a theory previously published by Fuchs and Claro @Phys. Rev. B 35, 3722 ~1987!# for the multipole polarizability of a sphere. Both radially and tangentially oriented molecules at arbitrary locations inside the cavity are considered, and the results are comp...
