The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.展开更多

文摘This study investigates extreme rainfall episodes along the eastern foothills of the Taihang Mountains in North China from 30 July to 1 August 2023.It focuses on two types of extreme hourly rainfall rates(HRRs),i.e.,the maximum regionalaverage HRR and site-observed HRR,which exhibited sequential development over southern,middle,and northern key regions.These rainfall extremes occurred in an environment where a high-pressure barrier over North China prevented the intrusion of cold air masses from the north while a northward-moving typhoon remnant vortex and its associated low-level jet(LLJ)transported warm and moist airflow from the south.Two distinct echo evolution modes and convection initiation mechanisms are identified for the two types of extreme HRRs.The maximum regional-average HRR occurred when the LLJ arrived to the east of the key regions,while the maximum site-observed HRR occurred when the warmer vortex center influenced the regions.Taking the northern key region as a representation,at the time of the maximum regional-average HRR,slantwise ascent of the airflow along a warm-frontal-like boundary released energy related to symmetrical instability,resulting in stratiform rainfall with weak convective cores.The transport of locally initiated convection over the eastern plain region,where the atmospheric stratification was more potentially unstable,also significantly contributed.When the maximum site-observed HRR occurred,the terrain lifting of warm and moist southeast airflow led to intense convection over the mountain foothills.Overall,the passage of the warm-core typhoon remnant vortex and interaction with Taihang Mountains determined the timing and location of extreme HRRs across the key regions.
文摘The present study investigates the non-isothermal flow and energy distribution through a loosely bent rectangular duct using a spectral-based numerical approach over a wide range of the Dean number 0<Dn≤3000.Unlike previous research,this work offers novel insights by conducting a grid-point-specific velocity analysis and identifying new bifurcation structures.The study reveals how centrifugal and buoyancy forces interact to produce steady,periodic,and chaotic flow regimes significantly influencing heat transfer performance.The Newton-Raphson method is employed to explore four asymmetric steady branches,with vortex solutions ranging from 2-to 12 vortices.Unsteady flow characteristics are analyzed exquisitely by performing time-advancement of the solutions and the flow regimes are shown as a percentage of total flow with longitudinal vortex generation.Axial flow,secondary flow,and temperature profiles have been depicted in accordance with Dn to wander the flow pattern,and it is predicted that the time-dependent flow(TDF)consists of asymmetric 2-to 10-vortex solutions.The significant findings of this study include the axial displacement of the circulations due to the influence of the time-varying temperature dispersal applied along the wall.Chaotic flows,which dominate the higher Dean number range,are shown to enhance heat convection due to increased fluid mixing.A detailed comparison with prior research demonstrates the advantages of this approach,particularly in capturing complex non-linear behaviors.The findings of this study provide practical guidelines for optimizing duct designs to maximize heat transfer and suggest future research directions,such as using nanofluids or studying Magneto-hydrodynamics in the same configuration.

文摘Orbital angular momentum(OAM)can achieve multifold increase of spectrum efficiency,but the hollow divergence characteristic and Line-of-Sight(LoS)path requirement impose the crucial challenges for vortex wave communications.For air-to-ground vortex wave communications,where there exists the LoS path,this paper proposes a multi-user cooperative receive(MUCR)scheme to break through the communication distance limitation caused by the characteristic of vortex wave hollow divergence.In particular,we derive the optimal radial position corresponding to the maximum intensity,which is used to adjust the waist radius.Based on the waist radius and energy ring,the cooperative ground users having the minimum angular square difference are selected.Also,the signal compensation scheme is proposed to decompose OAM signals in air-to-ground vortex wave communications.Simulation results are presented to verify the superiority of our proposed MUCR scheme.

文摘The evolution of fractional vortex pairs in free space and nonlocal nonlinear media is studied.In free space,the off-axis fractional vortex pairs of the-same-sign topological charge(TC)will be merged to one integer vortex at the beam center,which is drastically different from the dynamics of integer vortex pairs.In nonlocal nonlinear media,the conversion between the fractional vortex pair and the conventional integer vortex can be readily achieved by only tuning the input optical power.Therefore our approach provides a convenient way to control the number of vortices and thus the number of optical tweezers by adjusting the input optical power.These results may find potential applications in optical manipulation of particles.

文摘Manipulating and braiding Majorana zero modes(MZM)are a critical step toward realizing topological quantum computing.The primary challenge is controlling the vortex,which hosts the MZM,within a superconducting film in a spatially precise manner.To address this,we developed a magnetic force-based vortex control technology using the STM system with a self-designed four-electrode piezo-scanner tube and investigated vortex manipulation on the NbSe_(2) superconducting film.We employed ferromagnetic tips to control the movement of vortex array induced by the tip's remanent magnetism.A magnetic core solenoid device was integrated into the STM system and a strong magnetic tip demagnetization technique was developed,providing a viable technical solution for further enabling single vortex manipulation.

文摘Kármán vortex street not only exists in nature,but also widely appears in engineering practice,which is of great significance for understanding superfluid.Parity-time(PT)symmetric potential provides a good platform for the study of Kármán vortex streets.In this paper,different patterns of vortex shedding formed behind PT symmetric potential in Bose-Einstein condensate(BEC)are simulated numerically.Kármán vortex streets and others are discovered to emerge in the wake of a moving obstacle with appropriate parameters.Compared with BEC without PT symmetric potential,the frequency and amplitude of the drag force are more complex.The parametric regions of the combined modes are scattered around the Kármán vortex street.Numerical simulations indicate that the imaginary part of the PT symmetric potential affects the vortex structure patterns.Finally,we proposed an experimental protocol that may observe a Kármán vortex street.

文摘Deep ultraviolet coherent light,particularly at the wavelength of 193 nm,has become indispensable for semiconductor lithography.We present a compact solid-state nanosecond pulsed laser system capable of generating 193-nm coherent light at the repetition rate of 6 kHz.One part of the 1030-nm laser from the homemade Yb:YAG crystal amplifier is divided to generate 258 nm laser(1.2 W)by fourth-harmonic generation,and the rest is used to pump an optical parametric amplifier producing 1553 nm laser(700 mW).Frequency mixing of these beams in cascaded LiB_(3)O_(5) crystals yields a 193-nm laser with 70-mW average power and a linewidth of less than 880 MHz.By introducing a spiral phase plate to the 1553-nm beam before frequency mixing,we generate a vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum.This is,to our knowledge,the first demonstration of a 193-nm vortex beam generated from a solid-state laser.Such a beam could be valuable for seeding hybrid ArF excimer lasers and has potential applications in wafer processing and defect inspection.

文摘Using long-term Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model version 5(WACCM5)simulations initialized with the climatology around the year 2000,we studied the anomalous distribution of planetary wave and gravity wave fluxes during distinct phases of the boreal stratospheric polar vortex(BSPV)and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation(QBO).The contributions of these two types of waves to Brewer-Dobson circulation(BDC)anomalies were further analyzed.The results revealed that under four distinct phases,the northern hemisphere BDC is primarily governed by planetary waves,whereas gravity waves counteract approximately half of the planetary wave influence on the BDC in the upper stratosphere.The QBO regulates the position of the anomaly center within the BDC’s descending branch in the northern hemisphere.In particular,during the westerly phase of the QBO(WQBO),the center of this anomalous descending branch is located in the upper stratosphere,whereas during the easterly phase of the QBO(EQBO),it is located in the lower stratosphere.Southern hemisphere BDC anomalies are regulated more by QBO activity:during the WQBO,it shows synchronous changes with the BDC anomaly in the northern hemisphere,whereas during the EQBO,it exhibits an antiphase relationship with the BDC anomaly in the northern hemisphere.Mesospheric circulation anomalies are predominantly driven by gravity wave activity.The circulation weakens during a weak BSPV and strengthens during a strong BSPV.Additionally,the descending branch anomaly of the northern hemisphere circulation is more pronounced during the WQBO,whereas the ascending branch anomaly of the southern hemisphere circulation is more significant during the EQBO.

文摘In response to the new mechanism of direct vortex melting reduction of vanadium–titanium magnetite,the reaction control mechanism and the migration regularity of valuable components in the process of direct melting reduction were investigated using kinetic empirical equation by fitting and combining with X-ray diffraction,X-ray fluorescence,scanning electron microscopy,energy-dispersive spectrometry,and optical microscopy.The results show that iron reduction is controlled by the mass transfer process of(FeOx)in the slag,while vanadium reduction is controlled by both the mass transfer of(VOx)in the slag and the mass transfer of[V]in the molten iron,and the slag–metal interfacial reaction is the only pathway for vanadium reduction.The reduction of iron and vanadium is an obvious first-order reaction,with activation energy of 101.6051 and 197.416 kJ mol^(−1),respectively.Increasing the vortex rate and reaction temperature is beneficial to improving the reaction rate and reduction efficiency.The mineral phase variation of iron and vanadium in the slag during the reduction process is Fe_(2)O_(3)→Fe_(3)O_(4)/FeV_(2)O_(4)→FeTiO_(3) and FeV_(2)O_(4)→MgV_(2)O_(5);titanium in slag is mainly in the form of Mg_(x)Ti_(3−x)O_(5)(0≤x≤1)and CaTiO_(3).As the reaction time went on,the molar ratio(nTi/nMg)in Mg_(x)Ti_(3−x)O_(5)(0≤x≤1)and the Ti2O_(3) content in the slag gradually went up,while the area proportion of Mg_(x)Ti_(3−x)O_(5)(0≤x≤1)went up and then down,and the porosity of the slag and the grain size of Mg_(x)Ti_(3−x)O_(5)(0≤x≤1)got smaller.

文摘We aim to find one highly nontrivial example of the solutions to the vortex fluid dynamical equation on the unit sphere(S^(2))and compare it with the numerical simulation.Since the rigid rotating steady solution for vortex fluids on S^(2)is already known to us,we consider the perturbations above it.After decomposing the perturbation of the vortex number density and vortex charge density into spherical harmonics,we find that the perturbations are propagating waves.To be precise,the velocities for different single-mode vortex number density waves are all the same,while the velocities for single-mode vortex charge density waves depend on the degree of the spherical harmonics l,which is a signal of the existence of dispersion.Meanwhile,we find that there is a beat phenomenon for the positive(or negative)vortex density wave.Numerical simulation based on the canonical equations for the point vortex model agrees perfectly with our theoretical calculations.

文摘Techniques for manipulating nanodroplets lie at the core of numerous miniaturized systems in chemical and biological research endeavors.In this study,we introduce a versatile methodology for calculating the acoustic vortex field,integrating hybrid wave equation principles with ray acoustics.This approach demonstrates remarkable consistency between simulated results and experimental observations.Importantly,both theoretical analysis and experimental validation confirm that particles whose diameters match the wavelength(Mie particles)can be effectively trapped within a focused acoustic vortex field,rotating in circular trajectories centered at the vortex center.This research significantly expands the scope of acoustic vortex manipulation for larger particles and introduces a novel implementation strategy with potential applications in targeted drug delivery for clinical adjuvant therapy.
