Wave number spectrum

Firstly, measurements of the wave number-frequency spectrum were conducted for steep mechanically generated waves of frequency 4.67 Hz. In order to detect the waves, the parameter L of the MOSA was chosen to be equal to 7.5 cm, i.e., equal to the basic wavelength of the steep waves. The wave amplitudes were 0.6 mm and 3 mm. The phase velocities and amplitudes of the first four harmonics in the wave number spectrum are plotted in Figure 2. 

In this equation the gasfraction in point (x,y,t) is correlated to the gasfraction in a point (x, y, t ). A condition for application of the Fourier-StieltJes transform was, that the wave field must be homogeneous. This means that all probability-densities are invariant under the addition of a constant vector to all space points. Strictly speaking this condition is not fulfilled for a wavy wall. But when the length scale on which the mean quantities change, is small in respect with the variation of Z in the separation variable r, then the wave field can be assumed to be almost homogeneous. A second condition on the transformation yields the stationarity of the wave field, so the second moment function will be only dependent on the separation variable x. This condition is satisfied when the mean quantities are independent in time. In this way the frequency, wave-number spectrum can be written as.

The next level of complexity looks at the kinetic energy of turbulence. There are several models that are used to study the fluid mechanics, such as the K model. One can also put the velocity measurements through a spectrum analyzer to look at the energy at various wave numbers. 

A quick analysis of Equation (77) shows that if the melt layer is thin (kd 1), the emission spectrum corresponds to an absorption spectrum. This means that the emission peaks occur at the same wave numbers as the absorption bands. In case of thick melt layers (kd 1) Equation (77) becomes the following expression ... 

Consequently, in the emission spectrum of thick layers (kd 1) the minimums occur at wave numbers that correspond to the maximums of the reflection spectrum. Fig. 73 shows a typical example of this spectrum transformation.

The IR spectrum obtained at ambient temperature (Fig. 74, curve 1) shows the presence of a strong wide band at 535 cm 1 and a weak shoulder at about 643 cm 1. At the melting temperature (curve 2), the only discemable band observed is shifted slightly toward the higher wave numbers and occurs at 535-540 cm 1. This high frequency shift, which accompanies the melting, is related to changes in the distances between the central atom and the first and second coordination spheres, as illustrated in Fig. 75.

An absorption spectrum is a plot that shows how well dilferent frequencies of light couple to excitations in the sample. It is conventional to convert the units for frequency (v) from Hertz to wave numbers (cm-1) by dividing v by the speed of light (c). IR frequencies are characteristic of certain bonds in molecules and can thus be used to identify species on surfaces. Correlation charts are available which permit assignments of particular molecular species to certain IR frequencies.
