Large-eddy simulations of turbulent flow with heat transfer in simple and complex geometries using Harwell-FLOW3D

1996

Abstract Large-eddy simulation (LES) results are presented and discussed for the turbulent flow with heat transfer in different geometrical configurations, including a plane channel, a channel bearing transverse square ribs on one of the walls, and a crossed-corrugated air heater. They were obtained using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code Harwell-FLOW3D (Release 2), finite-volume grids having up to 423 nodes, and the Smagorinsky subgrid model with several variants regarding near-wall damping and wall boundary conditions. The first problem (plane turbulent Poiseuille flow with heat transfer) was mainly used as a benchmark to investigate the influence of numerical methods (pressure-…

Anomalous diffraction profiles of alkali-halide-alkali-cyanide mixed crystals.

1986

The x-ray diffraction profiles of four mixed alkali halides-alkali cyanides have been studied. At the threshold concentration where the systems change over from ferroelastic ordering to the glass state, the profiles are highly unusual. The diffracted intensity of transverse scans along the cubic axes follows $I\ensuremath{\sim}\mathrm{exp}(\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha}|\ensuremath{\xi}|)$, where $\ensuremath{\xi}$ is the reduced wave vector, measured from the line center.

Analysis of the intensities of the longitudinal acoustic vibrations inn-alkanes and polyethylene

1980

Simple theoretical considerations indicate, that the integral intensity of the „longitudinal acoustic modes” (LAM) in the Raman spectrum ofn-alkanes should be independent of the chain length. The experiment in fact confirms this expectation. Using this property it becomes possible for polyethylene samples, to derive from the measured LAM-intensity the mass fraction of all-turns sequences contributing to this band. For solution crystallized samples this fraction coincides with the crystallinity, whereas in melt crystallized samples it generally turns out as smaller. The observed difference is likely to be due to the occurrence of local conformational defects (kinks, chain torsions) which int…

Small angle X-ray scattering from amorphous polymers arising from heterogeneities

1973

The small angle X-ray scattering of glassy polymers (PET, PC, PVC, PMMA) and of polymer melts (PE) was studied. The dependence of the intensity scattered at small angles on the sample treatment suggests that neither the inherent structure of the pure polymer phase nor microholes are the origin of the scattering. In agreement with all experimental facts the scattering can be attributed to foreign particles such as for instance stabilizers in the polymer matrix. The consequence of this result is discussed with respect to the nodular structure of the amorphous phase and with respect to structural models of the amorphous phase. The nodular structure is not related to regions of different densit…

QENS from polymer aggregates in supercritical CO2

2000

Abstract We report QENS measurements from PS-b-PFOA aggregates in supercritical CO2. Line shapes are dominated by localized diffusive modes and segmental dynamics of the anchored, finite-length PFOA chains. For Q⩽0.6 A−1, we obtain effective diffusion coefficients of ≅0.8 10−6 cm2/s. At higher Q, a single component is not sufficient as shown by excess intensity on the flanks. For Q⩾1.5 A−1, the wings reflect contributions due to a distribution of faster, more localized chain modes.

Anomalous intensity of the 335 cm−1 phonon in YBa2Cu3O7−δ

1991

Abstract We report results on Raman scattering for the intensity of the 335 cm −1 phonon of A g (pseudo B 1g ) symmetry in thin YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ films on MgO and LaAlO 3 substrates. The intensity of this phonon shows a pronounced increase below 100 K and saturates at low temperatures. We also observe an additional intensity peaking at temperatures close to the superconducting transition T C . This may indicate a structural phase transition in the vicinity of T C .

Streulichtmessungen an polymerlösungen zur bestimmung der verteilungsbreite des Molekulargewichtes

1978

By increasing the experimental accuracy of the classical light scattering technique it became possible to determine the width U = Mw/Mn − 1 of the molecular weight distribution of polymers. For this purpose a very stable laser and a lock-in-amplifier were used allowing an accuracy of 0,2–0,3% in the scattering intensity. The numerical evaluation of the polydispersity is done by a Gaus-Newton procedure analysing the small curvature of the reciprocal scattering function. In an appropriate molecular weight range U is obtained with an error between 0,01 and 0,1 depending on the width of the molecular weight distribution of the sample tested.

Strictly convergent algorithm for an elliptic equation with nonlocal and nonlinear boundary conditions

2012

The paper describes a formally strictly convergent algorithm for solving a class of elliptic problems with nonlinear and nonlocal boundary conditions, which arise in modeling of the steady-state conductive-radiative heat transfer processes. The proposed algorithm has two levels of iterations, where inner iterations by means of the damped Newton method solve an appropriate elliptic problem with nonlinear, but local boundary conditions, and outer iterations deal with nonlocal terms in boundary conditions.

Optimal control in models with conductive‐radiative heat transfer

2003

In this paper an optimal control problem for the elliptic boundary value problem with nonlocal boundary conditions is considered. It is shown that the weak solutions of the boundary value problem depend smoothly on the control parameter and that the cost functional of the optimal control problem is Frechet differentiable with respect to the control parameter.
