Measurement of temperature, fuel concentration and equivalence ratio fields using tracer LIF in IC engine combustion
(Springer-Verlag, 2000-11)
A technique based on planar laser-induced fluorescence of 3-pentanone, for measurements of absolute concentration, temperature and fuel/air equivalence ratios in turbulent, high-pressure combustion systems such as an ...
Why ring regenerative amplification (regen)?
(Springer-Verlag, 2002-06)
We show that ring cavity regenerative amplifiers (regens) have distinct advantages over the linear ones for applications in chirped pulse amplification. Larger energy, better contrast and better isolation from the oscillator ...
Evolution and impingement of an automotive fuel spray investigated with simultaneous Mie/LIF techniques
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-07)
The spatial and temporal evolution of an automotive hollow-cone-type spray was investigated with laser-based imaging diagnostics. Optical conditions of an IC engine were emulated with a test cell that was built from an ...

On Travelling Waves for the Stochastic Fisher–Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piscunov Equation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-08)
This paper is concerned with properties of the wave speed for the stochastically perturbed Fisher–Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piscunov (FKPP) equation. It was shown in the classical 1937 paper by Kolmogorov, Petrovsky and Piscunov ...
Gyroscopically Stabilized Oscillators and Heat Baths
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-05)
In this paper we analyze the stability of a gyroscopic oscillator interacting with a finite- and infinite-dimensional heat bath in both the classical and quantum cases. We consider a finite gyroscopic oscillator model of ...
New Realizations of the Maximal Satake Compactifications of Riemannian Symmetric Spaces of Noncompact Type
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-07)
We give new realizations of the maximal Satake compactifications of Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type as orbit closures inside Grassmannians and orthogonal groups. Our constructions are partially motivated by ...
Application of the Sherman-Morisson formula to scattering problems by multi-component systems
(EDP Sciences, Springer-Verlag, Società Italiana di Fisica, 2002-06)
The scattering matrix for multi-component systems is recalculated using the extended form of the Sherman-Morisson formula. The matrix elements are given explicitly in closed form. The Gibbs-Duhem relation separates the ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of the freezing of gold nanoparticles
(EDP Sciences, Springer-Verlag, Società Italiana di Fisica, 2001-10)
A set of molten gold clusters, each with 1157 gold atoms, was studied by molecular dynamics simulations as the clusters underwent freezing at three different temperatures. Most of the clusters attained an icosahedral ...
The antiferromagnetic/paramagnetic transition in mixed-spin compounds R2BaNiO5
(EDP Sciences; EDP Sciences/Società Italiana di Fisica/Springer-Verlag, 2005-04)
We present an extensive Quantum Monte Carlo study of the magnetic properties ofthe mixed-spin quantum systems R2BaNiO5 (R= magnetic rare earth)which show coexistence of 3-dimensional magnetic long-range orderwith 1-dimensional ...
