    The role of three-dimensionality in the development of vortex breakdown in swirling flow

    No full text
    Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations are conducted using high-order numerical methods in cylindrical coordinates. Aim of the work is to examine the effect of three-dimensionality in the dynamics of vortex breakdown in swirling jets within a specific range of Reynolds numbers. The main elements of vortex breakdown are revealed in our computations, and the interaction between three-dimensional helical instabilities and the axisymmetric process of breakdown is discussed. The results confirm a general tendency of swirling flows to burst into a sequence of bubbles when the Reynolds number is increased. Comparing axisymmetric and fully three-dimensional computations, it's observed the possibility that a single or double helical structure arising in linear regime can work to extract energy from the axisymmetric waves

    Frequency domain iterative feedforward/feedback tuning for MIMO ANVC

    No full text
    A new iterative feedback/feed-forward tuning (IFFT) method is presented for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) control systems that relies on efficient computation of the negative gradient of the controller cost function in the frequency domain. The iterative method is using only one experiment per iteration and it is therefore suitable for realtime implementation for periodic adjustment of the controller. The primary target application area of the presented method is self-tuning feedback control in active noise and vibration control (ANVC)

    LDP and CLT for SPDEs with transport noise

    No full text
    In this work we consider solutions to stochastic partial differential equations with transport noise, which are known to converge, in a suitable scaling limit, to solution of the corresponding deterministic PDE with an additional viscosity term. Large deviations and Gaussian fluctuations underlying such scaling limit are investigated in two cases of interest: stochastic linear transport equations in dimension D2D\ge 2and 2D Euler equations in vorticity form. In both cases, a central limit theorem with strong convergence and explicit rate is established. The proofs rely on nontrivial tools, like the solvability of transport equations with supercritical coefficients and Γ\Gamma -convergence arguments

[dataset] Cornell University eCommons Repository. https://doi.org/10.7298/azf0-hc03These files contain data and analysis code supporting all results reported in "Room temperature optically detected magnetic resonance of single spins in GaN" by Luo et al. In Luo et al. we found: High contrast optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) is a valuable property for reading out the spin of isolated defect color centers at room temperature. Spin-active single defect centers have been studied in wide bandgap materials including diamond, SiC, and hBN; each with associated advantages for applications. We report the discovery of ODMR in two distinct species of bright, isolated defect centers hosted in GaN. In one group, we find negative ODMR of a few percent associated with a metastable electronic state, whereas in the other, we find positive ODMR of up to 30% associated with the ground and optically excited electronic states. We examine the spin symmetry axis of each defect species and we establish coherent control over a single defect’s ground-state spin. Given the maturity of the semiconductor host, these results are promising for scalable and integrated quantum sensing applicationsNational Science Foundation (NSF) - ECCS-1839196 [Fuchs] National Science Foundation (NSF) - DMR-1719875 [Fuchs] Cornell Engineering Sprout Program [Fuchs] National Science Foundation (NSF) - ECCS-1839196 [Luo] National Science Foundation (NSF) - DMR-1719875 [Luo] Cornell Engineering Sprout Program [Luo] National Science Foundation (NSF) - ECCS-1839196 [Geng] National Science Foundation (NSF) - DMR-1719875 [Geng] National Science Foundation (NSF) - ECCS-1839196 [Rana] National Science Foundation (NSF) - DMR-1719875 [Rana

    Esempio di rappresentazione del sé in Lu Ling 路翎, Luo Dadou de yisheng 罗大斗的一生 (La vita di Luo Dadou)

    No full text
    In the story Luo Dadou’s life (Luo Dadou de yisheng 罗大斗的一生), Lu Ling 路翎 (1923-1994) gives shape to the deepness of human psyche and stresses the suffering of the Self of his age by giving a brilliant emphasis to human individuality. The author succeeds in doing so by creating an amazing psychological characterization of the main character, both by means of words and by means of grammatical structures. By applying Denton’s categories for the study of the Self in modern Chinese literature, I analysed Lu Ling’s short story from the Freudian and Kleinian psychodynamic perspective, so to demonstrate how Lu Ling enters his characters’ minds and wonderfully recreates the psychological dynamics inside and between them
