the premixed counterflow flames propagation in combustion of mixture which is a uniform mixture of fuel particles and air is analytically studied. this analysis framework is based on thermal-diffusion model with assumption that the lewis number is unit and the strain rate is constant. velocity profile is assumed as a function of one variable like x. the structure of the flame is presumed to con...

[1] We compare 2-D, quasi-static earthquake nucleation on rate-and-state faults under both ‘‘aging’’ and ‘‘slip’’ versions of the state evolution law. For both versions mature nucleation zones exhibit 2 primary regimes of growth: Well above and slightly above steady state, corresponding respectively to larger and smaller fault weakening rates. Well above steady state, aging-law nucleation takes...

in superconductors, relative to the direction o f the transport current is suggested. The difference o f the normal-superconducting interface velocities parallel and anti-parallel to the current direction due to this mechanism is o f the order o f 1 50 cm s 1 for different metals. The thermoelectric effect (Thomson heat) has a hysteresis which occurs opon destruction (or restoration) o f superc...

This article addresses the way in which we can generate an "acoustically bright zone" in a space. The bright zone is defined as the volume where we can have higher acoustic energy than in other space. A method is proposed to generate the bright zone by controlling multiple monopole sources. Two kinds of cost functions involved with acoustic brightness are defined. One is the ratio of the bright...

summarythe explanation of the elastic, or velocity structure of the earth has long been a goal of the world’s seismologists. for the first few decades of seismological research, the investigation on velocity structure was restricted to the determination of one-dimensional models of the solid earth and of various regions within it. seismologists are currently obtaining three dimensional velocity...

S U M M A R Y The main purpose of seismic inversion is the retrieval of seismic velocities and densities in the earth. Inversion of body-wave traveltimes cannot uniquely determine the seismic velocities as a function of depth when a low-velocity layer is present. It is generally assumed that surface waves do not suffer from the same non-uniqueness. The issue is addressed whether it is possible ...

In this paper, we describe the simulation of the traffic flow on a road with a construction zone. The simulation model is based on the cellular automata and the stochastic velocity model. The simulation results on a road with a construction zone are compared with them on a road without a construction zone. Although the analytical study indicates that the traffic flow on a road with a constructi...

We investigated the shear strain field ahead of a supershear rupture. The strain array data along the sliding fault surfaces were obtained during the large-scale biaxial friction experiments at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience. These friction experiments were done using a pair of meter-scale metagabbro rock specimens whose simulated fault area was 1.5 m ...

[1] Observations of velocity fluctuations with periods between about 4 and 30 min, thus longer than infragravity waves and referred to as very low frequency (VLF) surf zone motions, are described and compared with numerical simulations. The VLF motions discussed here exclude instabilities (generated by the wave‐driven alongshore current velocity shear) that occur in the same frequency range by ...
