When the VHS lies exactly at the Fermi level and also at the middle of the band, a zero-energy state and other higher-energy states whose energy ratios follow integer numbers emerge. These discrete vortex bound state peaks undergo a splitting behavior when the VHS or Fermi level moves away from the middle of the band. Such splitting behavior will eventually lead to a new arrangement of quantized vortex core states whose energy ratios follow half-odd-integer numbers.展开更多

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 paper proposes a passive control method to reduce peak values of slipstream and turbulent kinetic energy in a high-speed train wake by attaching vortex generators(VGs)onto the upper surface of the tail car.The impact of the VGs is assessed through the improved delayed detached eddy simulations(IDDES)after validating predictions against previous experimental measurements and other numerical predictions for the base case.The simulations indicate that strategically installed VGs can reduce the average slipstream velocity(U slipstream)and the upper limit of slipstream velocity(U_(slipstream,max))by~17%and~15%,respectively,as well as moving the peaks downstream by approximately train height,thus reducing the danger posed by slipstream to waiting passengers and trackside workers.Analysis shows that the wake turbulent kinetic energy diminishes as the vortex generators decelerate the downwash flow and reduce shear production in the wake.It is also found that the presence of VGs significantly impacts the flow on the upper surface near the tail by modifying the unsteady trailing longitudinal vortices through the formation of additional counter-rotating longitudinal vortices from the VGs.These latter vortices prevent the merging of vortical airflow around the trailing nose tip,which is otherwise induced by the longitudinal vortex of the train.They also reduce vortex intensity through cross-annihilation and cross diffusion as the wake advects downstream,limiting outwards advection through interaction with the image pair,and contributing to a decrease in the peak slipstream value.The method proposed offers a simple approach to wake control leading to significant slipstream benefits.

文摘Typhoon Meranti originated over the western North Pacific off the south tip of the Taiwan Island in 2010.It moved westward entering the South China Sea,then abruptly turned north into the Taiwan Strait,got intensified on its way northward,and eventually made landfall on Fujian province.In its evolution,there was a northwest-moving cold vortex in upper troposphere to the south of the Subtropical High over the western North Pacific(hereafter referred to as the Subtropical High).In this paper,the possible impacts of this cold vortex on Meranti in terms of its track and intensity variation is investigated using typhoon best track data from China Meteorological Administration,analyses data of 0.5×0.5 degree provided by the global forecasting system of National Centers for Environmental Prediction,GMS satellite imagery and Taiwan radar data.Results show as follows:(1)The upper-level cold vortex was revolving around the typhoon anticlockwise from its east to its north.In the early stage,due to the blocking of the cold vortex,the role of the Subtropical High to steer Meranti was weakened,which results in the looping of the west-moving typhoon.However,when Meranti was coupled with the cold vortex in meridional direction,the northerly wind changed to the southerly at the upper level of the typhoon;at the same time the Subtropical High protruded westward and its southbound steering flow gained strength,and eventually created an environment in which the southerly winds in both upper and lower troposphere suddenly steered Meranti to the north;(2)The change of airflow direction above the typhoon led to a weak vertical wind shear,which in return facilitated the development of Meranti.Meanwhile,to the east of typhoon Meranti,the overlapped southwesterly jets in upper and lower atmosphere accelerated its tangential wind and contributed to its cyclonic development;(3)The cold vortex not only supplied positive vorticity to the typhoon,but also transported cold advection to its outer bands.In conjunction with the warm and moist air masses at the lower levels,the cold vortex increased the vertical instability in the atmosphere,which was favorable for convection development within the typhoon circulation,and its warmer center was enhanced through latent heat release;(4)Vertical vorticity budget averaged over the typhoon area further shows that the intensification of a typhoon vorticity column mainly depends on horizontal advection of its high-level vorticity,low-level convergence,uneven wind field distribution and its convective activities.

文摘Using the NCEP 1°×1°reanalysis data,several obvious differences of the structural characteristics of developed versus undeveloped mid-level vortexes are studied.First,the central vorticity of the developed mid-level vortex increases towards higher levels while the undeveloped one decreases.The low-level convergence structure maintains well in the developed mid-level vortex whereas the undeveloped one does badly.Second,on the one hand,according to the symmetric analysis,the horizontal wind field and wind vertical section of the developed mid-level vortex are well symmetric while those of the undeveloped one are less symmetric.Meanwhile,weak wind vertical shear help the developed mid-level vortex to establish a warm core in upper-and mid-levels of the troposphere.On the other hand,according to the balance analysis,better balance between wind and pressure is shown in the mid-and lower-levels of the troposphere of the developed mid-level vortex than in those of the undeveloped vortex.Third,positive anomaly of potential vorticity is enhanced and developed in the vertical direction of the developed vortex.However,the undeveloped vortex weakens with a weak positive anomaly.

文摘A theoretical study on discrete vortex bound states is carried out near a vortex core in the presence of a van Hove singularity(VHS) near the Fermi level by solving Bogoliubov–de Gennes(Bd G) equations. When the VHS lies exactly at the Fermi level and also at the middle of the band, a zero-energy state and other higher-energy states whose energy ratios follow integer numbers emerge. These discrete vortex bound state peaks undergo a splitting behavior when the VHS or Fermi level moves away from the middle of the band. Such splitting behavior will eventually lead to a new arrangement of quantized vortex core states whose energy ratios follow half-odd-integer numbers.

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.

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To delay the vortex breakdown position of the slender delta wing,this study innovativelyproposes the application of control near the Leading-Edge Vortex(LEV)core sweeping path,whichis called Coupled Core Rotation Dual Synthetic Jets(CCR-DSJ)control.The results show that thevortex breakdown points at each angle of attack are moved backward after control,and the max-imum delayed displacement is 32.4%of the root chord at 30°.Besides,there is a linear relationshipbetween the breakdown position and the angle of attack after control,indicating that CCR-DSJcontrol has a significant effect on the pressure gradient of the vortex axis.Furthermore,the lift coef-ficient C_(L)is enhanced after control,with a maximum CLincrement of 0.078 at 27°,and an effectiveincrement interval of[25°,32°].This interval is different from most previous studies,which isdirectly related to the position of the actuators.According to the lift change mechanism,the anglesof attack are divided into three stages:Stage 1(a=15°–25°),Stage 2(a=25°–32°),and Stage 3(a=32°–40°).In conclusion,CCR-DSJ control can significantly change the pressure distribution,thereby offering promising prospects for the flight stage of the slender delta wing.

文摘Regional turbofan aircraft,which are used for medium-short distances,have a heightened risk of high-altitude Wake Vortices(VV)because of their tail-mounted engines and high horizontal tail configurations.For some regional medium-short-range turbofan aircraft,this threat is higher than that for conventionally designed aircraft.To analyze the flight safety of turbofan aircraft during cruise,this study developed a model to assess wake vortex encounters based on evolutionary high-altitude wake flow patterns.First,the high-altitude wake vortex aircraft dissipation patterns were analyzed by combining Quick Access Recorder(QAR)flight data with the wake vortex evolution model.Then,to consider the uniqueness of the medium-short-range turbofan aircraft,the severity of the wake vortex encounters was simulated using an induced roll moment coefficient.The proposed high-altitude wake vortex encounter model was able to identify and assess the highaltitude wake vortex changes,the bearing moments at different altitudes,and the atmospheric pressure conditions.Using the latest wake separation standards from the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO),acceptable safety wake intervals for follower aircraft in different scenarios were determined for the safety assessment.The results indicate that compared to mid and low altitudes,the high-altitude aircraft wake vortex dissipation rate is faster,the ultimate bearing moment is weaker,and the roll moment coefficient is higher,which confirm that there is elevated wake vortex encounter severity for regional turbofan aircraft.As safety is found to deteriorate when encountering wake vortices at altitudes higher than 8 km,new medium-short-range turbofan regional aircraft require higher safety margins than the latest wake separation standards.

文摘Acoustic wave isolation and noise reduction are significant challenges in the fields of physics and various applications.Traditional noise-control devices are often hampered by substantial size limitations,and their operational efficacy is generally restricted to planar waveforms.In this study,we demonstrate perfect confinement of acoustic vortex waves using an acoustic metacage consisting of phase-gradient metasurfaces.By leveraging the parity-reversed diffraction rule of phase-gradient metasurfaces,the designed metacage exhibited remarkable capabilities for the perfect confinement of acoustic vortex waves,showing robust performance even in the presence of source offsets.These findings present a promising strategy for developing precise and adaptable acoustic confinement technologies.

文摘Pairs of entangled vortex photons can promise new prospects of application in quantum computing and cryptography.We investigate the possibility of generating such states via two-level atom emission induced by a single photon wave packet with a definite total angular momentum(TAM).The entangled pair produced in this process possesses well-defined mean TAM with the TAM variation being much smaller than h.On top of that,the variation exponentially decreases with the increase in TAM of the incident photon.Our model allows one to track the time evolution of the state of the entangled pair.An experimentally feasible scenario is assumed,in which the incident photon interacts with a spatially confined atomic target.We conclude that induced emission can be used as a source of entangled vortex photons with applications in atomic physics experiments,quantum optics,and quantum information sciences.

文摘The vortex dynamics after the initial ring dark solitons in two-component ultracold Rydberg atomic systems have been investigated.The two parameters characterizing the Rydberg long-range interaction—namely,the Rydberg strength and the blockade radius—along with the initial depth,are identified as the main factors that affect the vortex dynamics.In the absence of Rydberg soft-core potential and spin-orbit coupling,the late vortex dipoles move along x-or y-axis first.However,this work demonstrates that,with certain Rydberg strength and blockade radius,the late vortex dipoles move towards the edge at an oblique angle to the coordinate axes,and it reveals that the Rydberg nonlocal nonlinear interaction shortens the lifetime of late vortices.When the intra-component and inter-component Rydberg strengths are different,the backgrounds of the two components gradually complement each other,and the lifetime of late vortices is significantly shortened.The presented results show that the Rydberg dressing breaks the rule that the initial average depth determines the number and paths of vortices.The motion features of vortex dipoles in the ultracold Rydberg atomic system have been ascertained,and their directions of movement can be predicted to some degree based on the rotation directions and initial positions of the vortices.

文摘Chirality,a common phenomenon in nature,appears in structures ranging from galaxies and condensed matter to atomic nuclei.There is a persistent demand for new,high-precision methods to detect chiral structures,particularly at the microscale.Here,we propose a novel method,vortex Mössbauer spectroscopy,for probing chiral structures.By leveraging the orbital angular momentum carried by vortex beams,this approach achieves high precision in detecting chiral structures at scales ranging from nanometers to hundreds of nanometers.Our simulation shows the ratio of characteristic lines in the Mössbauer spectra of ^(57)Fe under vortex beams exhibits differences of up to four orders of magnitude for atomic structures with different arrangements.Additionally,simulations reveal the response of ^(229m)Th chiral structures to vortex beams with opposite angular momenta differs by approximately 49-fold.These significant spectral variations indicate that this new vortex Mössbauer probe holds great potential for investigating the microscopic chiral structures and interactions of matter.

文摘This article reviews the latest advances in the generation and control of perfect vector beams using metasurfaces.In recent years,metasurfaces have garnered increasing interest due to their simple fabrication and easy integration.Perfect vortex beams(PVBs),as a type of vector beams,exhibit complex polarization states that require the superposition of multiple phases for their generation.The use of metasurfaces provides a compact platform for the generation of perfect vortex beams and enables more complex vortex beam control tasks,which are quite challenging for traditional optics.This paper begins by introducing the principle of perfect vortex beam generation using metasurfaces,followed by a discussion on the generation of complex perfect vortex beams,including multi-channel and grafted perfect vortex beams.Subsequently,it explores the applications of perfect vortex beams in particle trapping and optical communication.Finally,the paper summarizes the key findings,highlights the limitations of metasurfaces in perfect vortex beam applications,and provides insights into potential future research directions and applications.
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.
