We present numerical calculations of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations for axially extended and axially localized spiral structures in the Taylor-Couette system. The eigenvalue surface for spiral vortices with azimuthal wave number M=2 shows significantly more structure than that for vortices with M=0 and 1. Islands are found in parameter space where axially periodic vortex perturbations c...

In this paper, we review three-dimensional (3D) photon counting imaging with axially distributed sensing. Under severely photon-starved conditions, we have proposed various imaging and algorithmic approaches to reconstruct a scene in 3D, which are not possible by using conventional imaging system due to lack of sufficient number of photons. In this paper, we present an overview of optical sensi...

In this paper, the dynamic response of an axially moving viscoelastic beam with simple supports is calculated analytically based on Timoshenko theory. The beam material property is separated to shear and bulk effects. It is assumed that the beam is incompressible in bulk and viscoelastic in shear, which obeys the standard linear model with the material time derivative. The axial speed is charac...
