Abstract. The new ZRP wind input source term (Zakharov et al., 2012) is checked for its consistency via numerical simulation of Hasselmann equation. The results are compared to field experimental data, collected at different sites around the world, and theoretical predictions of self-similarity analysis. Good agreement is obtained for limited fetch and time domain statements.

Abstract. The new Zakharov–Resio–Pushkarev (ZRP) wind input source term Zakharov et al.(2012) is examined for its theoretical consistency via numerical simulation of the Hasselmann equation. The results are compared to field experimental data, collected at different sites around the world, and theoretical predictions based on self-similarity analysis. Consistent results are obtained for both limited fetch and duration limited statements.

Recently, multiwave dynamical theory of neutron diffraction by a moving grating was developed. The theory predicts that at a certain height of the grating profile a significant suppression of the zero-order diffraction may occur. The experiment to confirm predictions of this theory was performed. The resulting diffracted UCNs spectra were measured using time-of-flight Fourier diffractometer. The experimental data were compared with the results of numerical simulation and were found in a good agreement with theoretical predictions.

This paper deals with friction and the field of temperature in the lubricant film of journal bearings. Theoretical results regarding the thermal behavior are checked with experimental data and good agreement is found. Emphasis is put on the variation of temperature and lubricant flow with the operating characteristics of the bearing and it is seen that theoretical predictions for minima of friction torque are backed by temperature measurements. Further on, the friction torque and the mechanism of heat dissipation in bearings are dealt with, in order to verify the assumptions used in the calculation schemes. The means of efficiently cooling the bearing are also discussed, as well as the part played by the divergent zone in this process.

A unidimensional diffusion in a potential field of induced stress is considered. The way from random walk (RW) to limiting partial differential equation (Smoluchowski equation) for standard and time dependent RW is shown. A technologically important case of gold dispersion in crystallizing polymer swollen by acetone vapor is analyzed. Theoretical predictions based on Smoluchowski equation with time dependent coefficients are found to be in very good agreement with experimental data.


This paper is a sequel to Sir Geoffrey Taylor’s study of the bursting of an electrified cylindrical conducting film. Taylor described experiments in which the voltages, at which the film becomes statically unstable, were observed for various lengths of film. These results were compared with the theoretical predictions for disturbances on an infinitely long cylinder having a wavelength equal to the length of film used. It is shown here that a transition in the mode of bursting from an axisymmetric whole wavelength mode to a lateral half wavelength mode is to be expected and that the experimental data conform with this transition. An exact calculation of the modes for a film of finite length is also given here and the resulting theoretical predictions of instability and bursting voltages are in very good agreement with the experimental results.

The reactions 16O(d,d)16O, 16O(d,p)17O, and 16O(d,n)17F have been studied in the deuteron energy range 4.00–6.00 MeV in order to determine to what extent current theories can satisfactorily describe these reactions. It was found that the theoretical curves from both the optical and DWBA models fit the experimental data significantly better when the deuteron optical-model potentials had been obtained using a spin–orbit potential in the analysis of the elastic scattering data. Spectroscopic factors obtained for the ground and first-excited states of 17O and 17F using the DWBA theory are in satisfactory agreement with theoretical predictions and with values obtained by previous workers. Small, but nonzero, spectroscopic factors have been obtained for the states at 3.058 and 3.846 MeV excitation in 17O using data measured in this work and in previous experiments. The sum of the calculated direct interaction and compound-nucleus cross sections is in good agreement with experimental data for all states studied, whether they were populated primarily by direct or compound-nucleus reactions. The calculated compound-nucleus lifetimes are also in agreement with values obtained from an analysis of the fluctuations in the yield curves.

A number of theoretical predictions of the wave-resistance coefficient of the Wigley hull are compared with one another and with available experimental data, to which corrections for sinkage and trim are applied. The averages of eleven sets of experimental data (corrected for sinkage and trim) and of eleven sets of theoretical results for large values of the Froude number, specifically for F 0.266, 0.313, 0.350, 0.402, 0.452, and 0.482, are found to be in fairly good agreement, in spite of considerable scatter in both the experimental data and the numerical results. Furthermore, several sets of theoretical results are fairly close to the average experimental data and the average theoretical predictions for these large values of the Froude number. Discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental measurements for small values of the Froude number, specifically for F = 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, 0.24, and 0.266, generally are much larger than for the above-defined high-Froude-number range. However, a notable exception to this general finding is provided by the first-order slender-ship approximation evaluated in Chen and Noblesse [1],3 which is in fairly good agreement with the average experimental data over the entire range of values of Froude number considered in this study.

ABSTRACTThe kinetic behavior of Fe(OH)3 and AI(OH)3 powders during thermal dehydration is investigated. It has been shown that the dehydration rate is governed by the value of fractal dimension of the sample without any respect to the nature of metal atom in hydroxide. The quantitative model for dehydration of fractal particles with particular value of fractal dimension is suggested. Theoretical predictions are in a good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract This paper is dedicated to the investigation and calibration of the parameterized form for the wind-input source term Sin proposed earlier on the basis of field observations at Lake George, Australia. The main objective of this study was to obtain spectral forms for the wind-input source function Sin, which incorporates the novel observation-based features and at the same time satisfies the important physical constraint that the total integrated wind input must agree with independently observed magnitudes of the wind stress. Within this approach, a new methodology, a dynamic self-adjusting routine, was developed for correction of the wind-input source function Sin. This correction involves a frequency-dependent adjustment to the growth rate γ( f ), based on extrapolations from field data. The model results also show that light winds require higher-rate adjustments of the wind input than strong winds.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated, theoretically and experimentally, the reduced and optical bandgap shift of Si-doped AlXGa1-XAs alloys as a function of both the Al composition and the Si concentration. The calculations were carried out within a framework of the many particle random phase approximation with the Hubbard local-field correction, considering electron populations in the conduction minima located at the Γ, X and L-points of the Brillouin zone. The experimental data have been obtained by means of photoluminescence spectroscopy. The theoretical predictions are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.
