Resonance enhanced turbulent transport
The effect of oscillatory shear flows on turbulent transport of passive scalar fields is studied by numerical computations based on the results provided by E. Kim [Physics of Plasmas 13, 022308 (2006)] . Turbulent diffusion is found to depend crucially on the competition between suppression due to shearing and enhancement due to resonances, depending on the characteristic time and length scales of shear flow and turbulence. Enhancements in transport occur for turbulence with finite memory time either due to Doppler or parametric resonances. Scalings of turbulence amplitude and transport are provided in different parameter spaces. The results suggest that oscillatory shear flows are not only less efficient in regulating turbulence, but also can enhance the value of turbulent diffusion, accelerating turbulent transport

Scattering of charge carriers by point defects in bilayer graphene
Theory of scattering of massive chiral fermions in bilayer graphene by radial
symmetric potential is developed. It is shown that in the case when the
electron wavelength is much larger than the radius of the potential the
scattering cross-section is proportional to the electron wavelength. This leads
to the mobility independent on the electron concentration. In contrast with the
case of single-layer, neutral and charged defects are, in general, equally
relevant for the resistivity of the bilayer graphene.Comment: final versio
Ice/frost detection using millimeter wave radiometry
A series of ice detection tests was performed on the shuttle external tank (ET) and on ET target samples using a 35/95 GHz instrumentation radiometer. Ice was formed using liquid nitrogen and water spray inside a test enclosure containing ET spray on foam insulation samples. During cryogenic fueling operations prior to the shuttle orbiter engine firing tests, ice was formed with freon and water over a one meter square section of the ET LOX tank. Data analysis was performed on the ice signatures, collected by the radiometer, using Georgia Tech computing facilities. Data analysis technique developed include: ice signature images of scanned ET target; pixel temperature contour plots; time correlation of target data with ice present versus no ice formation; and ice signature radiometric temperature statistical data, i.e., mean, variance, and standard deviation
A simple derivation of Kepler's laws without solving differential equations
Proceeding like Newton with a discrete time approach of motion and a
geometrical representation of velocity and acceleration, we obtain Kepler's
laws without solving differential equations. The difficult part of Newton's
work, when it calls for non trivial properties of ellipses, is avoided by the
introduction of polar coordinates. Then a simple reconsideration of Newton's
figure naturally leads to en explicit expression of the velocity and to the
equation of the trajectory. This derivation, which can be fully apprehended by
beginners at university (or even before) can be considered as a first
application of mechanical concepts to a physical problem of great historical
and pedagogical interest
