Comparison of very-large-scale motions of turbulent pipe and boundary layer simulations
A direct numerical simulation of a fully developed turbulent pipe flow was performed to investigate the similarities and differences of very-large-scale motions (VLSMs) to those of turbulent boundary layer (TBL) flows. The Reynolds number was set to ReD = 35 000, and the computational domain was 30 pipe radii in length. Inspection of instantaneous fields, streamwise two-point correlations, and population trends of the momentum regions showed that the streamwise length of the structures in the pipe flow grew continuously beyond the log layer (y/?? 3??), and the maximum length of the VLSMs increased up to ~30??. Such differences between the TBL and pipe flows arose due to the entrainment of large plumes of the intermittent potential flow in the TBL, creating break-down of the streamwise coherence of the structures above the log layer with the strong swirling strength and Reynolds shear stress. The average streamwise length scale of the pipe flow was approximately 1.5-3.0 times larger than that of the TBL through the log and wake regions. The maximum contribution of the structures to the Reynolds shear stress was observed at approximately 6?? in length, whereas that of the TBL was at 1??-2??, indicating a higher contribution of the VLSMs to the Reynolds shear stress in the pipe flow than in the TBL flow.open1
Automated gait generation based on traditional animation
This thesis describes the development of a tool to assist animators in doing
walk cycles. In traditional animation, animators create expressive walk cycles with key
poses. The process of generating walk cycles by hand is tedious and repetitive. To help
animators, many researchers in computer graphics have worked on automating gait
generation. However, almost all of them used methods that eliminate animator defined
key poses. Although they produce realistic results, their methods are not suitable for
expressive walk cycles that can be found in cartoons. The tool described in this thesis
attempts to incorporate practices of traditional animators such as comparison of key
poses and the use of arc into the program interface. With this tool, animators can
concentrate only on setting key poses, which is the most creative task in animating
expressive walk. The gait generation program can produce highly expressive walks like
the double bounce walk and the sneak. With automated features of the developed tool,
animators can save time and effort when animating expressive walk along a curved path

Hierarchical burst model for complex bursty dynamics
Temporal inhomogeneities observed in various natural and social phenomena have often been characterized in terms of scaling behaviors in the autocorrelation function with a decaying exponent gamma, the interevent time distribution with a power-law exponent alpha, and the burst size distributions. Here the interevent time is defined as a time interval between two consecutive events in the event sequence, and the burst size denotes the number of events in a bursty train detected for a given time window. To understand such temporal scaling behaviors implying a hierarchical temporal structure, we devise a hierarchical burst model by assuming that each observed event might be a consequence of the multilevel causal or decision-making process. By studying our model analytically and numerically, we confirm the scaling relation alpha+gamma = 2, established for the uncorrelated interevent times, despite of the existence of correlations between interevent times. Such correlations between interevent times are supported by the stretched exponential burst size distributions, for which we provide an analytic argument. In addition, by imposing conditions for the ordering of events, we observe an additional feature of log-periodic behavior in the autocorrelation function. Our modeling approach for the hierarchical temporal structure can help us better understand the underlying mechanisms behind complex bursty dynamics showing temporal scaling behaviors.11Ysciescopu
Concurrent Magnetic and Metal-Insulator Transitions in (Eu,Sm)B_6 Single Crystals
The effects of magnetic doping on a EuB_6 single crystal were investigated
based on magnetic and transport measurements. A modest 5% Sm substitution for
Eu changes the magnetic and transport properties dramatically and gives rise to
concurrent antiferromagnetic and metal-insulator transitions (MIT) from
ferromagnetic MIT for EuB6. Magnetic doping simultaneously changes the
itinerant carrier density and the magnetic interactions. We discuss the origin
of the concurrent magnetic MIT in (Eu,Sm)B_6.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, final version to appear in Appl. Phys. Lett
Automatic Internal Stray Light Calibration of AMCW Coaxial Scanning LiDAR Using GMM and PSO
In this paper, an automatic calibration algorithm is proposed to reduce the
depth error caused by internal stray light in amplitude-modulated continuous
wave (AMCW) coaxial scanning light detection and ranging (LiDAR). Assuming that
the internal stray light generated in the process of emitting laser is static,
the amplitude and phase delay of internal stray light are estimated using the
Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).
Specifically, the pixel positions in a raw signal amplitude map of calibration
checkboard are segmented by GMM with two clusters considering the dark and
bright image pattern. The loss function is then defined as L1-norm of
difference between mean depths of two amplitude-segmented clusters. To avoid
overfitting at a specific distance in PSO process, the calibration check board
is actually measured at multiple distances and the average of corresponding L1
loss functions is chosen as the actual loss. Such loss is minimized by PSO to
find the two optimal target parameters: the amplitude and phase delay of
internal stray light. According to the validation of the proposed algorithm,
the original loss is reduced from tens of centimeters to 3.2 mm when the
measured distances of the calibration checkboard are between 1 m and 4 m. This
accurate calibration performance is also maintained in geometrically complex
measured scene. The proposed internal stray light calibration algorithm in this
paper can be used for any type of AMCW coaxial scanning LiDAR regardless of its
optical characteristics
Highly precise AMCW time-of-flight scanning sensor based on digital-parallel demodulation
In this paper, a novel amplitude-modulated continuous wave (AMCW)
time-of-flight (ToF) scanning sensor based on digital-parallel demodulation is
proposed and demonstrated in the aspect of distance measurement precision.
Since digital-parallel demodulation utilizes a high-amplitude demodulation
signal with zero-offset, the proposed sensor platform can maintain extremely
high demodulation contrast. Meanwhile, as all cross correlated samples are
calculated in parallel and in extremely short integration time, the proposed
sensor platform can utilize a 2D laser scanning structure with a single photo
detector, maintaining a moderate frame rate. This optical structure can
increase the received optical SNR and remove the crosstalk of image pixel
array. Based on these measurement properties, the proposed AMCW ToF scanning
sensor shows highly precise 3D depth measurement performance. In this study,
this precise measurement performance is explained in detail. Additionally, the
actual measurement performance of the proposed sensor platform is
experimentally validated under various conditions
