AbstractThis paper considers the heating of a target in a shock wave created in a planar geometry by the ponderomotive force induced by a short laser pulse with intensity higher than 1018 W/cm2. The shock parameters were calculated using the relativistic Rankine–Hugoniot equations coupled to a laser piston model. The temperatures of the electrons and the ions were calculated as a function of time by using the energy conservation separately for ions and electrons. These equations are supplemented by the ideal gas equations of state (with one or three degrees of freedom) separately for ions and electrons. The efficiency of the transition of the work done by the laser piston into internal thermal energy is calculated in the context of the Hugoniot equations by taking into account the binary collisions during the shock wave formation from the target initial condition to the compressed domain. It is shown that for each laser intensity there is threshold pulse duration for the formation of a shock wave. The explicit calculations are done for an aluminum target.

Abstract The approximate analytical solution for the propagation of gas ionizing cylindrical blast (shock) wave in a rotational axisymmetric non-ideal gas with azimuthal or axial magnetic field is investigated. The axial and azimuthal components of fluid velocity are taken into consideration and these flow variables, magnetic field in the ambient medium are assumed to be varying according to the power laws with distance from the axis of symmetry. The shock is supposed to be strong one for the ratio C 0 V s 2 ${\left(\frac{{C}_{0}}{{V}_{s}}\right)}^{2}$ to be a negligible small quantity, where C 0 is the sound velocity in undisturbed fluid and V S is the shock velocity. In the undisturbed medium the density is assumed to be constant to obtain the similarity solution. The flow variables in power series of C 0 V s 2 ${\left(\frac{{C}_{0}}{{V}_{s}}\right)}^{2}$ are expanded to obtain the approximate analytical solutions. The first order and second order approximations to the solutions are discussed with the help of power series expansion. For the first order approximation the analytical solutions are derived. In the flow-field region behind the blast wave the distribution of the flow variables in the case of first order approximation is shown in graphs. It is observed that in the flow field region the quantity J 0 increases with an increase in the value of gas non-idealness parameter or Alfven-Mach number or rotational parameter. Hence, the non-idealness of the gas and the presence of rotation or magnetic field have decaying effect on shock wave.

Beyond students’ ability to manipulate variables and solve problems, chemistry instructors are also interested in students developing a deeper conceptual understanding of chemistry, that is, engaging in the process of sensemaking. The concept of sensemaking transcends problem-solving and focuses on students recognizing a gap in knowledge and working to construct an explanation that resolves this gap, leading them to “make sense” of a concept. Here, we focus on adapting and applying sensemaking as a framework to analyze three groups of students working through a collaborative gas law activity. The activity was designed around the learning cycle to aid students in constructing the ideal gas law using an interactive simulation. For this analysis, we characterized student discourse using the structural components of the sensemaking epistemic game using a deductive coding scheme. Next, we further analyzed students’ epistemic form by assessing features of the activity and student discourse related to sensemaking: whether the question was framed in a real-world context, the extent of student engagement in robust explanation building, and analysis of written scientific explanations. Our work provides further insight regarding the application and use of the sensemaking framework for analyzing students’ problem solving by providing a framework for inferring the depth with which students engage in the process of sensemaking.

Having accepted a more generalized form for density-displacement type electron–phonon interaction (EPI) force we studied the simultaneous effect of uniaxial strains and EPI’s screening on the temperature of Bose–Einstein condensation [Formula: see text] of the ideal gas of intersite bipolarons. [Formula: see text] of the ideal gas of intersite bipolarons is calculated as a function of both strain and screening radius for a one-dimensional chain model of cuprates within the framework of Extended Holstein–Hubbard model. It is shown that the chain model lattice comprises the essential features of cuprates regarding of strain and screening effects on transition temperature [Formula: see text] of superconductivity. The obtained values of strain derivatives of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] are in qualitative agreement with the experimental values of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] of La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]CuO4 under moderate screening regimes.

Spin-polarized atomic deuterium (↓D) is investigated in the static fluctuation approximation with a Morse-type potential. The thermodynamic properties of the system are computed as functions of temperature. In addition, the ground-state energy per atom is calculated for the three species of ↓D : ↓D 1, ↓D 2, and ↓D 3. This is then compared to the corresponding ground-state energy per atom for the ideal gas, and to that obtained by the perturbation theory of the hard sphere model. It is deduced that ↓D is nearly ideal.

Abstract An investigation of air flow along a 90 degree elbow-like tube is conducted to determine the velocity and temperature distributions of the flow. The tube has a sharp 90 degree turn with a radius of curvature of almost zero. The flow is assumed to be a steady two-dimensional turbulent flow satisfying the ideal gas relation. The flow will be analyzed using a finite difference technique with the K-ε turbulence model, and the algebraic stress model (ASM). The FLUENT code was used to determine the parameter distributions in the passage. There are certain conditions for which the K-ε model does not describe the fluid phenomenon properly. For these conditions, an alternative turbulence model, the ASM with or without QUICK was employed. FLUENT has these models among its features. The results are compared with the result computed by using elementary one-dimensional theory including the kinetic energy loss along the passage of the sharp 90 degree curved tube.
