Flow tracing fidelity of scattering aerosol in laser Doppler velocimetry

An experimental method for determinating the flow tracing fidelity of a scattering aerosol used in laser Doppler velocimeters was developed with particular reference to the subsonic turbulence measurements. The method employs the measurement of the dynamic response of a flow seeding aerosol excited by acoustic waves. The amplitude and frequency of excitation were controlled to simulate the corresponding values of fluid turbulence components. Experimental results are presented on the dynamic response of aerosols over the size range from 0.1 to 2.0 microns in diameter and over the frequency range 100 Hz to 100 kHz. It was observed that unit density spherical scatterers with diameters of 0.2 microns followed subsonic air turbulence frequency components up to 100 kHz with 98 percent fidelity

Directional acoustic measurements by laser Doppler velocimeters

Laser Doppler velocimeters (LDVs) were used as velocity microphones to measure sound pressure level in the range of 90-130 db, spectral components, and two-point cross correlation functions for acoustic noise source identification. Close agreement between LDV and microphone data is observed. It was concluded that directional sensitivity and the ability to measure remotely make LDVs useful tools for acoustic measurement where placement of any physical probe is difficult or undesirable, as in the diagnosis of jet aircraft noise

Link level imuslations for 5G remote area scenario

Abstract. The main object of this thesis is to utilize the Vienna 5G link-level simulator and to introduce modifications which are needed to include new scenarios, such as remote area case. The Vienna 5G link-level simulator is a simulation platform for promoting 5th generation (5G) research and development for the mobile communications system. This work gives a general overview of the link-level simulator platform to evaluate the average performance of the 5G physical layer (PHY) schemes. In many places across the world, there is no reliable internet connectivity in remote areas. Remote area connectivity is a kind of "missing scenario" of standard 5G solution, which focuses on improved data rate, latency, and massive internet of things (IoT). This work addresses views of connectivity in remote areas with 5G solutions, focusing on wireless radio technologies. The study of 5G physical layer performance evaluation is performed for downlink transmission using single-input and single-output (SISO) techniques. This thesis focused on the performance of waveforms, which can be effectively used in remote area communication systems. The analysis of the simulation results signifies that generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) would be the better option for remote area communication than other waveforms investigated in this study. This work also focused on the performance of channel coding schemes in order to determine the appropriate channel coding scheme for the 5G mobile communication system for medium length message transmission in remote area communication. The polar code appears to be the best possible channel code for medium-length message data transmission in remote areas based on the study of channel coding schemes

Dirac electrons in the presence of matrix potential barrier: application to graphene and topological insulators

Scattering of a 2D Dirac electrons on a rectangular matrix potential barrier is considered using the formalism of spinor transfer matrices. It is shown, in particular, that in the absence of the mass term, the Klein tunneling is not necessarily suppressed but occurs at oblique incidence. The formalism is applied to studying waveguiding modes of the barrier, which are supported by the edge and bulk states. The condition of existence of the uni-directionality property is found. We show that the band of edge states is always finite with massless excitations, while the spectrum of the bulk states, depending on parameters of the barrier, may consist of the infinite or finite band with both, massive and massless, low-energy excitations. The effect of the Zeeman term is considered and the condition of appearance of two distinct energy dependent directions corresponding to the Klein tunneling is found.Comment: published versio

Baryonic contributions to the dilepton spectra in relativistic heavy ion collisions

We investigate the baryonic contributions to the dilepton yield in high energy heavy ion collisions within the context of a transport model. The relative contribution of the baryonic and mesonic sources are examined. It is observed that most dominant among the baryonic channels is the decay of N*(1520) and mostly confined in the region below the rho peak. In a transport theory implementation we find the baryonic contribution to the lepton pair yield to be small.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure

Validity of the Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics of the Universe Bounded by the Event Horizon in Brane Scenario

In this paper, we examine the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) of the universe bounded by the event horizon in brane-world gravity. Here we consider homogeneous and isotropic model of the universe filled with perfect fluid in one case and in another case holographic dark energy model of the universe has been considered. The conclusions are presented point wise.Comment: 8 pages, the paper has been accepted in EPJC for publication. Conclusion has been modified an some references have been adde
