In this Letter, we demonstrate a highly efficient, compact, high-contrast and low-loss silicon slow wave modulator based on a traveling-wave Mach-Zehnder interferometer with two 500 μm long slow wave phase shifters. 40  Gb/s operation with 6.6 dB extinction ratio at quadrature and with an on-chip insertion loss of only 6 dB is shown. These results confirm the benefits of slow light as a means t...

In the Present paper effect of angle of incidence on pitching derivatives of a delta wing with Straight leading edges for attached shock case in Supersonic Flow has been studied. A Strip theory is used in which strips at different span wise location are independent. This combines with similitude to give a piston theory. From the results it is seen that with the increase in the Mach number, ther...

in this research, shock wave motion, shock/boundary layer interaction, and flow separation in a transonic flow over a naca0012 airfoil were investigated experimentally. thirteen kulite sensors were utilized for measurement of pressure fluctuations over the airfoil. experiments were performed for angles of attack between -4 to 4 degrees and flow mach numbers of m= 0.39 to 0.82. the kulite sensor...

in this paper, we propose an optical millimetre wave radio-over-fibre (mm-wave rof) system that uses a dual drive mach zehnder modulator (dd-mzm), which is biased at the maximum transmission biasing point, to generate an optical double sideband-suppressed carrier. the input to the dd-mzm are binary phase shift keying (bpsk), quadrature phase shift keying (qpsk), 8-phase shift keying (8-psk) and...

Re-ignition and re-initiation mechanisms of quenched detonation waves passing over a backward facing step are investigated using a high-resolution discontinuous Galerkin method, in which the reaction chemistry is described using a detailed chemical model. A stoichiometric Hydrogen/Oxygen mixture with different diluents (Argon and Nitrogen) is considered to assess effects of the mixture composit...

A methodology is presented for treating the propagation of elementary jet noise sources in the presence of a uniform mean flow. The sources include wavepacket and point sources, and the propagation includes the diffraction around solid boundaries. The governing equations are reduced to the canonical wave equation through established transformations. The impact of the transformations on the wave...

Research on shock wave mitigation in channels has been a topic of much attention in the shock wave community. One approach to attenuate an incident shock wave is to use obstacles of various geometries arranged in different patterns. This work is inspired by the study from Chaudhuri et al. (2013), in which cylinders, squares and triangles placed in staggered and non-staggered subsequent columns ...

We analyse the non-linear propagation and dissipation of axisymmetric waves in accretion discs using the ZEUS-2D hydrodynamics code. The waves are numerically resolved in the vertical and radial directions. Both vertically isothermal and thermally stratified accretion discs are considered. The waves are generated by means of resonant forcing and several forms of forcing are considered. Compress...

Using an improved version of the previously introduced CRASH (Cosmic Ray Acceleration SHock) code, we have calculated the time evolution of cosmic-ray (CR) modified quasi-parallel plane shocks for Bohm-like diffusion, including self-consistent models of Alfvén wave drift and dissipation, along with “thermal leakage injection” of CRs. The new simulations follow evolution of the CR distribution t...

We present an experimental study and analysis of a travelling wave series push-pull silicon photonic multi-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (ME-MZM) and compare its performance with a single-electrode travelling wave Mach-Zehnder modulator (TWMZM). Utilizing the functionality of the ME-MZM structure plus digital-signal-processing, we report: 1) the C-band transmission of 84 Gb/s OOK modulated d...
