Velocity isotropic

Ions generated in the ion source region of the instrument may have initial velocities isotropically distributed in tliree dimensions (for gaseous samples, this initial velocity is the predicted Maxwell-Boltzmaim distribution at the sample temperature). The time the ions spend in the source will now depend on the direction of their initial velocity. At one extreme, the ions may have a velocity Vq in the direction of the extraction grid. The time spent in the source will be... 

Second corner reflection The first corner reflection appears as usual when the transducer is coupled to the probe at a certain distance from the V-butt weld. The second corner reflection appears if the transducer is positioned well above the V-hutt weld. If the weld is made of isotropic material the wavefront will miss (pass) the notch without causing any reflection or diffraction (see Fig. 3(a)) for this particular transducer position. In the anisotropic case, the direction of the phase velocity vector will differ from the 45° direction in the isotropic case. Moreover, the direction of the group velocity vector will no longer be the same as the direction of the phase velocity vector (see Fig. 3(b), 3(c)). This can be explained by comparing the corresponding slowness and group velocity diagrams.

Davies (Turbulence Phenomena, Academic, New York, 1972) presents a good discussion of the spectrum of eddy lengths for well-developed isotropic turbulence. The smallest eddies, usually called Kolmogorov eddies (Kolmogorov, Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. URSS, 30, 301 32, 16 [1941]), have a characteristic velocity fluctuation given by... 

In the case of most nonporous minerals at sufficiently low-shock stresses, two shock fronts form. The first wave is the elastic shock, a finite-amplitude essentially elastic wave as indicated in Fig. 4.11. The amplitude of this shock is often called the Hugoniot elastic limit Phel- This would correspond to state 1 of Fig. 4.10(a). The Hugoniot elastic limit is defined as the maximum stress sustainable by a solid in one-dimensional shock compression without irreversible deformation taking place at the shock front. The particle velocity associated with a Hugoniot elastic limit shock is often measured by observing the free-surface velocity profile as, for example, in Fig. 4.16. In the case of a polycrystalline and/or isotropic material at shock stresses at or below HEL> the lateral compressive stress in a plane perpendicular to the shock front... 

Several generalizations of the inelastic theory to large deformations are developed in Section 5.4. In one the stretching (velocity strain) tensor is substituted for the strain rate. In order to make the resulting constitutive equations objective, i.e., invariant to relative rotation between the material and the coordinate frame, the stress rate must be replaced by one of a class of indifferent (objective) stress rates, and the moduli and elastic limit functions must be isotropic. In the elastic case, the constitutive equations reduce to the equation of hypoelastidty. The corresponding inelastic equations are therefore termed hypoinelastic. 

Short-time Brownian motion was simulated and compared with experiments [108]. The structural evolution and dynamics [109] and the translational and bond-orientational order [110] were simulated with Brownian dynamics (BD) for dense binary colloidal mixtures. The short-time dynamics was investigated through the velocity autocorrelation function [111] and an algebraic decay of velocity fluctuation in a confined liquid was found [112]. Dissipative particle dynamics [113] is an attempt to bridge the gap between atomistic and mesoscopic simulation. Colloidal adsorption was simulated with BD [114]. The hydrodynamic forces, usually friction forces, are found to be able to enhance the self-diffusion of colloidal particles [115]. A novel MC approach to the dynamics of fluids was proposed in Ref. 116. Spinodal decomposition [117] in binary fluids was simulated. BD simulations for hard spherocylinders in the isotropic [118] and in the nematic phase [119] were done. A two-site Yukawa system [120] was studied with... 

This case can also be approached using Kolmogoroff s (K9, H15) theory of local isotropic turbulence to predict the velocity of suspended particles relative to a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow. By examining this situation for spherical particles moving with a constant relative velocity, varying randomly in direction, Levich, (L3) has demonstrated that... 

If the magnitude of the fluctuating velocity component is the same in each of the three principal directions, the flow is termed isotropic. If they are different the flow is said to be anisotropic. Thus, if the root mean square values of the random velocity components... 

Chapter 3 is devoted to pressure transformation of the unresolved isotropic Raman scattering spectrum which consists of a single Q-branch much narrower than other branches (shaded in Fig. 0.2(a)). Therefore rotational collapse of the Q-branch is accomplished much earlier than that of the IR spectrum as a whole (e.g. in the gas phase). Attention is concentrated on the isotropic Q-branch of N2, which is significantly narrowed before the broadening produced by weak vibrational dephasing becomes dominant. It is remarkable that isotropic Q-branch collapse is indifferent to orientational relaxation. It is affected solely by rotational energy relaxation. This is an exceptional case of pure frequency modulation similar to the Dicke effect in atomic spectroscopy [13]. The only difference is that the frequency in the Q-branch is quadratic in J whereas in the Doppler contour it is linear in translational velocity v. Consequently the rotational frequency modulation is not Gaussian but is still Markovian and therefore subject to the impact theory. The Keilson-... 

With t = 0 the present expression reduces to the result obtained in Eq. (3.28). If, e.g., t = 2, then spectral exchange takes place both within the branches of an isotropic scattering spectrum (Fig. 6.1) and between them. The latter type of exchange is conditioned by collisional reorientation of the rotational plane, whose position is determined by angle a. As a result, the intensity of adsorbed or scattered light is redistributed between branches. In other words, exchange between the branches causes amplitude modulation of the individual spectral component, which accompanies the frequency modulation due to change of rotational velocity.

Where the Reynolds stress formula (2) and the universal law of the theory of isotropic turbulence apply to the turbulent velocity fluctuations (4), the relationship (20) for the description of the maximum energy dissipation can be derived from the correlation of the particle diameter (see Fig. 9). It includes the geometrical function F and thus provides a detailed description of the stirrer geometry in the investigated range of impeller and reactor geometry 0.225derived from many turbulence measurements, correlation (9).
