Variability of the HeI5876 A line in early type chemically peculiar stars
Chemically peculiar stars present spectral and photometric variability with a
single period. In the oblique rotator model, the non homogeneous distribution
of elements on the stellar surface is at the origin of the observed variations.
As to helium weak stars, it has been suggested that photometric and helium line
equivalent width variations are out of phase. To understand the behaviour of
helium in CP stars, we have obtained time resolved spectra of the HeI5876 A
line for a sample of 16 chemically peculiar stars in the spectral range B3 --
A1 and belonging to different sub-groups. The HeI5876 A line is too weak to be
measured in the spectra of the stars HD 24155, HD 41269, and HD 220825. No
variation of the equivalent width of the selected He line has been revealed in
the stars HD 22920, HD 24587, HD 36589, HD 49606, and HD 209515. The equivalent
width variation of the HeI5876 A line is in phase with the photometric
variability for the stars HD 43819, HD 171247 and HD 176582. On the contrary it
is out of phase for the stars HD 28843, HD 182255 and HD 223640. No clear
relation has been found for the stars HD 26571 and HD 177003.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures. 1998, A&AS in pres
Pressure and velocity measurements in a three-dimensional wall jet
The effects on the flow fields of varying the ratio of the velocity at the exit plane of the nozzle to the outer tunnel flow are reported. The pressure-velocity correlations are taken and some trends are discussed. Emphasis is placed on comparing the coherence between the fluctuating pressure and velocity fields at various locations in the different flow configurations
An experimental investigation of an axisymmetric jet in a coflowing airstream
The flow development of an axisymmetric jet exhausting into a moving airstream has been studied. The jet has a Reynolds number of 22,600, and the ratio of the jet velocity to the wind tunnel velocity is 5.1 to 1. The flow field of the axisymmetric jet was examined at locations varying from approximately zero to eight diameters downstream of the orifice. Of primary concern at each downstream location was the mapping of the one point statistical properties of the flow, including mean velocity, turbulent intensity, and intermittency. Autocorrelations and power spectral density curves were determined for both the fluctuating velocity field and the concentration signal at various distances from the jet's center line for different downstream locations. A laser Doppler velocimeter, using a phase locked loop processor, was used to make the desired velocity field measurements which were compared with hot wire anemometer and pressure probe data

An experimental investigation of a three dimensional wall jet
One and two point statistical properties are measured in the flow fields of a coflowing turbulent jet. Two different confining surfaces (one flat, one with large curvature) are placed adjacent to the lip of the circular nozzle; and the resultant effects on the flow field are determined. The one point quantities measured include mean velocities, turbulent intensities, velocity and concentration autocorrelations and power spectral densities, and intermittencies. From the autocorrelation curves, the Taylor microscale and the integral length scale are calculated. Two point quantities measured include velocity and concentration space-time correlations and pressure velocity correlations. From the velocity space-time correlations, iso-correlation contours are constructed along with the lines of maximum maximorum. These lines allow a picture of the flow pattern to be determined. The pressures monitored in the pressure velocity correlations are measured both in the flow field and at the surface of the confining wall(s)
Investigations of scaling laws for jet impingement
The statistical properties of tangential flows over surfaces were investigated by two techniques. In one, a laser-Doppler velocimeter was used in a smoke-laden jet to measure one-point statistical properties, including mean velocities, turbulent intensities, intermittencies, autocorrelations, and power spectral densities. In the other technique, free stream and surface pressure probes connected to 1/8 inch microphones were used to obtain single point rms and 1/3 octave pressures, as well as two point cross correlations, the latter being converted to auto spectra, amplitude ratios, phase lags, and coherences. The results of these studies support the vortex model of jets, give some insights into the effects of surface impingement, and confirm that jet diameter and velocity are the scaling parameters for circular jets, while Reynolds number is relatively unimportant
On the geometry of twisted symmetries: Gauging and coverings
We consider the theory of twisted symmetries of differential equations, in particular \u3bb and \u3bc-symmetries, and discuss their geometrical content. We focus on their interpretation in terms of gauge transformations on the one hand, and of coverings on the other one
Local and nonlocal solvable structures in ODEs reduction
Solvable structures, likewise solvable algebras of local symmetries, can be
used to integrate scalar ODEs by quadratures. Solvable structures, however, are
particularly suitable for the integration of ODEs with a lack of local
symmetries. In fact, under regularity assumptions, any given ODE always admits
solvable structures even though finding them in general could be a very
difficult task. In practice a noteworthy simplification may come by computing
solvable structures which are adapted to some admitted symmetry algebra. In
this paper we consider solvable structures adapted to local and nonlocal
symmetry algebras of any order (i.e., classical and higher). In particular we
introduce the notion of nonlocal solvable structure
