    Lifting surface theory for a helicopter rotor in forward flight

    Get PDF
    A lifting surface theory was developed for a helicopter rotor in forward flight for compressible and incompressible flow. The method utilizes the concept of the linearized acceleration potential and makes use of the vortex lattice procedure. Calculations demonstrating the application of the method are given in terms of the lift distribution on a single rotor, a two-bladed rotor, and a rotor with swept-forward and swept-back tips. In addition, the lift on a rotor which is vibrating in a pitching mode at 4/rev is given. Compressibility effects and interference effects for a two-bladed rotor are discussed

    Transport equation for 2D electron liquid under microwave radiation plus magnetic field and the Zero Resistance State

    Full text link
    A general transport equation for the center of mass motion is constructed to study transports of electronic system under uniform magnetic field and microwave radiation. The equation is applied to study 2D electron system in the limit of weak disorder where negative resistance instability is observed when the radiation field is strong enough. A solution of the transport equation with spontaneous AC current is proposed to explain the experimentally observed Radiation-Induced Zero Resistance State.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur

    Half-Skyrmions and Spike-Vortex Solutions of Two-Component Nonlinear Schrodinger Systems

    Full text link
    Recently, skyrmions with integer topological charges have been observed numerically but have not yet been shown rigorously on two-component systems of nonlinear Schrodinger equations (NLSE) describing a binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates. Besides, half-skyrmions characterized by half-integer topological charges can also be found in the nonlinear sigma model which is a model of the Bose-Einstein condensate of the Schwinger bosons. Here we prove rigorously the existence of half-skyrmions which may come from a new type of soliton solutions called spike-vortex solutions of two-component systems of NLSE on the entire plane. These spike-vortex solutions having spikes in one component and a vortex in the other component may form half-skyrmions. By Liapunov-Schmidt reduction process, we may find spike-vortex solutions of two-component systems of NLSE.Comment: to appear in J.Math.Phy
