A Study of the Classical Landscape at the Wang River Villa of Wang Wei
No full textThe landscape of Wang Wei's Wang River Villa is examined by reviewing the essays and papers written about the poetical collaboration, the “Wang River Collection.” The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of villa architecture in China. The author expects that this research will contribute to a mutual understanding between cultures. The villa was a Utopia for Wang. On the other hand, he was a pious Buddhist and Buddhistic concepts are reflected in the landscape. I consider the features of the classical landscape of Xie Lingyun and "Chu Ci," as written in “The Collection,” a reflection of the Buddhistic concept. When considering what the classics meant to Wang Wei, it is apparent that his villa is a representation of the classical landscape. It is not an imitation of the classical landscape, but a unique and original creation of art by Wang.departmental bulletin pape

Supporting the research process through expanded library data services
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe how the authors gained a better understanding of the variety of library users' data needs, and how gradually some new data services were established based on current capabilities.Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses a case study of the new data services at the John Cotton Dana Library, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark campus, to demonstrate the possible ways to extend data reference services and provide data computing services. A content analysis of services records shows how each user group falls into the multiple data services levels and subcategories.Findings – Library users can be classified into many different categories, and each of these may have different needs. Research centers might have big projects involving data gathering and applications where a librarian can mainly provide consultation; while an individual faculty member or student might need the librarians as research partners, with help for their specific problems. Computing data services can involve group training and statistical analysis assistance, where researchers need emergent help. Data librarians can take various opportunities for data management education, thereby gradually raising awareness and cultivating better research habits among researchers.Originality/value – Library data computing services can make unique contributions to faculty and students' research and study. Institution, library and users' interaction determines the levels and extent of data services and is generalized from the description and analysis of typical data service examples. Classic concept of data services levels is applied to a concrete case of data services program, and sub-categories of each data services level and user types are developed based on the authors' services record.This article is (c) Emerald Group Publishing and permission has been granted for this version to appear here at the RUcore: Rutgers University Community Repository .

Ignition and hydrodynamic ejections by laser-induced breakdowns
No full textA focused laser can cause optical breakdown of gas, forming a high-temperature plasma that rapidly absorbs laser energy. As a source of heat and radical species, laser-based energy deposition can be an effective ignition source, and its relative versatility and precision make it an attractive alternative to conventional ignition methods. Understanding of the breakdown-induced flow, its dependence on details of the plasma generation, and how it can alter and tailor ignition and subsequent flame growth will facilitate incorporation into engineering applications such as internal combustion engines and supersonic propulsion systems.
Direct numerical simulation with five gas models, in conjunction with an energy-deposition model that reproduces key experimental observations, is used to analyze the post-breakdown flow and ignition dynamics by direct numerical simulation. A perfect-gas model shows that the breakdown-induced flow occurs primarily by hydrodynamic processes that explain a curious experimental observation: hot gas ejects from the breakdown region along the laser axis, traveling up to distances several times the plasma kernel size, and can reverse direction for small changes in breakdown conditions. Vorticity-generating mechanisms are quantified and shown to be sensitive to asymmetries in the kernel's hydrodynamic expansion, and changes to the kernel geometry can lead to the observed ejection or its reversal. Even subtle alterations—such as a 20% increase in aspect ratio—can lead to qualitative differences in the vorticity dynamics and ultimate flow pattern.
Rich flow phenomenology is caused by dual-pulse configurations, and mechanisms by which the ejection can be disrupted or enhanced by the second deposition are analyzed. For simultaneous depositions, vorticity generation can be suppressed by even a small secondary kernel, preventing the ejection from forming, whereas for time-delayed depositions, asymmetry in the kernel expansion can amplify ejection or precipitate its reversal. The time delay and spatial offset between two depositions are controlled to enhance the dispersal of hot gas, which is shown to increase the burning rate of a nascent hydrogen flame.
This sensitivity of the breakdown-induced flow to energy deposition warrants an assessment of nonequilibrium-plasma effects on the hydrodynamics, which are analyzed using a two-temperature argon-plasma model. We show that electron recombination can occur on the time scale of the plasma's hydrodynamic expansion and provide an avenue for the formation energy of ions to be converted to mechanical work on the gas, thereby enhancing the expansion and altering the vorticity distribution.
Finally, we analyze how these flow mechanisms can couple with the ignition of a fuel–oxidizer interface. We first consider the detailed hydrogen-combustion model, and results are generalized to heavy fuels with a reduced model. Heat release by radical recombination is a primary mechanism by which the ejected gas maintains the temperature ignition threshold as it is transported towards fuel. For depositions close to a fuel lighter than oxygen, the expanding kernel interacts with the mixture density mismatch to produce a flow that repels hot gas away, in some cases leading to ignition failure. This flow pattern is absent for heavy fuels, which more readily ignite in this non-premixed configuration due to suppression of the adverse flow response.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.
