ABSTRACTA one-dimensional analytical model has been developed to describe the compressive behaviour of clay-based shaft backfills under large hydraulic loads. The analytical model has been calibrated with results from a compression test on a partially saturated swelling clay backfill mix in the high-pressure compression cell constructed at Ontario Hydro.

ABSTRACTWe develop a simple, one-dimensional, analytical model, which describes electron transport in gallium nitride. We focus on the polar optical phonon scattering mechanism, as this is the dominant energy loss mechanism at room temperature. Equating the power gained from the field with that lost through scattering, we demonstrate that beyond a critical electric field, 114 kV/cm at T = 300 K, the power gained from the field exceeds that lost due to polar optical phonon scattering. This polar optical phonon instability leads to a dramatic increase in the electron energy, this being responsible for the onset of intervalley transitions. The predictions of our analytical model are compared with those of Monte Carlo simulations, and are found to be in satisfactory agreement.

Time Dependent Model

A time-dependent quasi-one-dimensional model is developed for studying high- pressure discharges in ablative capillaries used, for example, as plasma sources in electrothermal launchers. The main features of the model are (i) consideration of ablation effects in each of the continuity, momentum and energy equations; (ii) use of a non-ideal equation of state; and (iii) consideration of space- and time-dependent ionization.

The One

The pressure dependence of the 129Xe chemical shift tensor confined in the Tris(o-phenylenedioxy) cyclotriphosphazene (TPP) nanochannel was investigated by high-pressure 129Xe NMR spectroscopy. The observed 129Xe spectrum in the one-dimensional TPP nanochannel (0.45 nm in diameter) exhibits a powder pattern broadened by an axially symmetric chemical shift tensor. As the pressure increases from 0.02 to 7.0 MPa, a deshielding of 90 ppm is observed for the perpendicularcomponent of the chemical shift tensor δ⊥, whereas a deshielding of about 30 ppm is observed for the parallel one, δ‖. This suggests that the components of the chemical shift tensor, δ‖ and δ⊥, are mainly dominated by the Xe-wall and Xe-Xe interaction, respectively. Furthermore, the effect of helium, which is present along with xenon gas, on the 129Xe chemical shift is examined in detail. The average distance between the Xe atoms in the nanochannel is estimated to be 0.54 nm. This was found by using δ⊥ at the saturated pressure of xenon, and comparing the increment of the chemicalshift value in δ⊥ to that of a β -phenol/Xe compound.

Research on wave propagation in liquid filled vessels is often motivated by the need to understand arterial blood flows. Theoretical and experimental investigation of the propagation of waves in flexible tubes has been studied by many researchers. The analytical one-dimensional frequency domain wave theory has a great advantage of providing accurate results without the additional computational cost related to the modern time domain simulation models. For assessing the validity of analytical and numerical models, well defined in vitro experiments are of great importance. The objective of this paper is to present a frequency domain analytical model based on the one-dimensional wave propagation theory and validate it against experimental data obtained for aortic analogs. The elastic and viscoelastic properties of the wall are included in the analytical model. The pressure, volumetric flow rate, and wall distention obtained from the analytical model are compared with experimental data in two straight tubes with aortic relevance. The analytical results and the experimental measurements were found to be in good agreement when the viscoelastic properties of the wall are taken into account.
