Arc plasmas have promising applications in many fields, and exploring their properties is of interest. This research paper presents detailed pressure-based finite volume simulations an argon arc. Simulations the free-burning arc show good agreement with experiment. We observe interesting phenomenon that concentrates intensively a high-frequency alternating longitudinal magnetic field. different...

The frequency-dependent nonlinear dielectric increment of dipolar fluids in nonpolar fluids is often measured by using a stationary relaxation method in which two electric fields are used: The static direct current (dc) field of high strength causing the dielectric nonlinearity, and the probing alternating current (ac) field of low strength and high frequency. When a nonlinear composite is subj...

This paper presents a nondestructive, high frequency electromagnetic evaluation method which can be applied for the examination of periodic conductive strips or conductive fibers using the evanescent modes generated in slits or in dielectric insulation between conductive fibers. For the detection of evanescent waves we propose the use of lenses with metamaterials, both conical Swiss roll type a...

Lung injury remains an important cause of morbidity among newborns who require assisted ventilation. Studies in immature animal models of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) have shown that positivepressure ventilation with large tidal volumes damages pulmonary capillary endothelium, alveolar and airway epithelium, and basement membranes. This mechanical damage results in leakage of fluid, prot...
