We present numerical simulations of low aspect ratio gallium phosphide nanowires under plane wave illumination, which reveal the interplay between transverse and longitudinal antenna-like resonances. A comparison to the limiting case of the semiconducting sphere shows a gradual, continuous transition of resonant electric and magnetic spherical Mie modes into Fabry-Pérot cavity modes with mixed ...

A wide range of microfluidic cell-sorting devices has emerged in recent years, based on both passive and active methods of separation. Curvilinear channel geometries are often used in these systems due to presence of secondary flows, which can provide high throughput and sorting efficiency. Most of these devices are designed on the assumption of two counter rotating Dean vortices present in the...

MHD properties of low-aspect-ratio (low-A) reversed field pinch (RFP) plasmas have been studied in RELAX machine with aspect ratio of 2. The MHD behavior appeared in edge magnetic field fluctuations shows strong dependence on toroidal field reversal. In standard or deep-reversal plasmas, the edge magnetic fluctuation has broad toroidal mode spectrum, while it is narrowed by reducing the toroida...

Submitted for the DFD12 Meeting of The American Physical Society Mechanism of axis-switching in low aspect-ratio rectangular jets NAN CHEN, HUIDAN (WHITNEY) YU, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) — Axis-switching (AS) refers to the change in the orientation of the major axis of the jet from initial spanwise to later lateral direction. This phenomenon is of great interest ...

The development of micro aerial vehicles has been hindered by a poor understanding of the flight dynamics associated with the unique aerodynamic regime. This study experimentally estimates the aerodynamic damping derivatives of flat-plate wings with aspect ratios less than 3 at a Reynolds number of 7.5 × 104; when combined with previously published results detailing the lateral and longitudinal...

In an effort to enhance lift on low-aspect-ratio rectangular flat-plate wings in low-Reynolds-number poststall flows, periodic injection of momentum is considered along the trailing edge in this numerical study. The purpose of actuation is not to reattach the flowbut to change the dynamics of thewake vortices such that the resulting lift force is increased. Periodic forcing is observed to be ef...

Shedlovsky's results,16 which differ from all others. There can be no doubt that most if not all, of these minima are spurious. One observation, which we have made may have an important bearing on this problem. In many cases, on addition of the first sample, the resistance of the solution drifted to lower values. The rate of this drift depended on the salt as well. as on the sample. In some ins...

We characterize an approach to make ultra-low-loss waveguides using stable and reproducible stoichiometric Si3N4 deposited with low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. Using a high-aspect-ratio core geometry, record low losses of 8-9 dB/m for a 0.5 mm bend radius down to 3 dB/m for a 2 mm bend radius are measured with ring resonator and optical frequency domain reflectometry techniques. From a ...
