cyclic surfaces in e51 generated by homothetic motions

in this paper, we study cyclic surfaces in 5 1 e generated by homothetic motions of a lorentziancircle. the properties of these cyclic surfaces up to first order are investigated. we show that, as it is shown ine5 , cyclic 2-surfaces in 5 1 e , in general, are contained in canal hypersurfaces. finally, we give an example.

Simulation Studies of Electron Acceleration to Ultrarerativistic Energies Caused by Small Pulses Generated in Shock Waves

Electron acceleration caused by small pulses in shock waves is studied with relativistic particle simulations. The simulations show that a compressive small pulse generated in a shock wave can accelerate electrons to ultrarelativistic energies. If the external magnetic field is reversed across a neutral sheet, the shock wave creates a field-reversed small pulse, in addition to compressive ones,...

Structural Changes in Lipid Vesicles Generated by the Shock Blast Waves: Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulation

X-ray imaging of shock waves generated by high-pressure fuel sprays.

Synchrotron x-radiography and a fast x-ray detector were used to record the time evolution of the transient fuel sprays from a high-pressure injector. A succession of 5.1-microsecond radiographs captured the propagation of the spray-induced shock waves in a gaseous medium and revealed the complex nature of the spray hydrodynamics. The monochromatic x-radiographs also allow quantitative analysis...
