Time evolution of radial wave packets built from the eigenstates of Dirac equation for a hydrogenic system is considered. Radial wave packets are constructed from the states of different n quantum numbers and the same lowest angular momentum. In general they exhibit a kind of breathing motion with dispersion and (partial) revivals. Calculations show that for some particular preparations of the wave packet one can observe interesting effects in spin motion, coming from inherent entanglement of spin and orbital degrees of freedom. These effects manifest themselves through some oscillations in the mean values of spin operators and through changes of spatial probability density carried by upper and lower components of the wave function. It is also shown that the characteristic time scale of predicted effects (called T ls ) is much smaller for radial wave packets than in other cases, reaching values comparable to (or even less than) the time scale for the wave packet revival.

In usual statistical analyses, because of diversities of proper parameters of pulsars, some interesting features might be smeared. In order to remove these diversities, we use the mean values for all quantities of pulsars, instead of values of individual pulsar, to do statistical analyses. logP/P3 - log τ and logL - logτ have been plotted, here τ P/2P and L denote the characteristic time scale and the radio luminosity of pulsars respectively. The most striking feature is that after its initial dropping to a dip at about τ∼106 yrs, the radio luminosity of pulsar appears to grow up evidently and then redrop again. This feature is difficult to be understood in usual models. However, two tentative interpretations have been given in this paper.

It is demonstrated that the Cartesian momenta and positions offer a proper description for the motion of particles constrained on the surface of a sphere. In classical limit, their mean values on the classical wave packet go over to classical quantities.

Cased petroleum wells must be logged to determine the bonding and hydraulic isolation properties of the sealing material and to determine the structural integrity status. Although ultrasonic pitch-catch logging in single-casing geometries has been widely studied and is commercially available, this is not the case for logging in double-casing geometries despite its increasing importance in plug and abandonment operations. It is therefore important to investigate whether existing logging tools can be used in such geometries. Using a finite-element model of a double-casing geometry with a two-receiver pitch-catch setup, we have simulated through-tubing logging, with fluid between the two casings. We found that there appears a cascade of leaky Lamb wave packets on both casings, linked by leaked wavefronts. By varying the geometry and materials in the model, we have examined the effect on the pulse received from the second wave packet on the inner casing, sometimes known as the third interface echo. The amplitude of this pulse was found to contain information on the bonded material in the outer annulus. Much stronger amplitude variations were found with two equally thick casings than with a significant thickness difference; relative thickness differences of up to one-third were simulated. Finally, we have developed a simple mathematical model of the wave packets’ time evolution to encapsulate and validate our understanding of the wave packet cascade. This model shows a more complex time evolution in the later wave packets than the exponentially attenuated primary packet, which is currently used for single-casing logging. This indicates that tools with more than two receivers, which could measure wave packets’ amplitude at more than two points along their time evolution, would be able to draw more information from these later packets. The model was validated against simulations, finding good agreement when the underlying assumptions of the model were satisfied.

We investigate the coherent wave packet dynamics of a two-level atom trapped in a symmetric double-well potential in a near-resonance cavity. Prepared on one side of the double-well potential, the atom wave packet oscillates between the left and right wells, while recoil induced by the emitted photon from the atom entangles the atomic internal and external degrees of freedom. The collapse and revival of the tunneling occurs. Adjusting the width of the wave packets, one can modify the tunneling frequency and suppress the tunneling.

The mode peaks in frequency domain of vibration signal are strongly interfered by strong noise, causing the inaccuracy mode parameters. According to this situation, this paper comes up with the thought of mode-peak segmentation based on the spectral clustering algorithm. First, according to the concept of wave packet, the amplitude-frequency of vibration signal is divided into wave packets. Taking each wave packet as a sample of clustering algorithm, the spectral clustering algorithm is used to classify these wave packets. The amplitude-frequency curve of a mode peak becomes a big wave packet in macroscopic. The experiment to simulation signals indicates that this spectral clustering algorithm could accord with the macroscopic observation of mode segmentation effectively, and has outstanding performance especially in strong noise.

A particle dispersion has been experimentally investigated in a two-dimensional mixing layer with a large relative velocity between particle and gas-phase in order to clarify the effect of particle residence time on particle dispersion. Spherical glass particles 42, 72, and 135 μm in diameter were loaded directly into the origin of the shear layer. Particle number density and the velocities of both particle and gas phase were measured by a laser Doppler velocimeter with modified signal processing for two-phase flow. The results confirmed that the characteristic time scale of the coherent eddy apparently became equivalent to a shorter characteristic time scale due to a less residence time. The particle dispersion coefficients were well correlated to the extended Stokes number defined as the ratio of the particle relaxation time to the substantial eddy characteristic time scale which was evaluated by taking account of the particle residence time.

The dynamics of particles in the field of a wave packet excited in a plasma is considered. The conditions are found under which such dynamics is regular, and when it becomes chaotic. It was found that the well-known (phenomenological) criterion for the emergence of dynamic chaos − the criterion for overlapping Chirikov nonlinear resonances − requires careful use.

In the 1970's it was found that; for low frequencies (<10 Hz), speech is scaling: it has no characteristic time scale. Now such scale invariance is associated with multiscaling statistics, and multifractal structures. Just as Gaussian noises frequently arise because they are generically produced by sums of many independent noise processes, scaling noises have an analogous universal behavior arising from nonlinear mixing of processes. We show that low frequency speech is consistent with these ideas, and use the measured parameters to produce stochastic speech simulations which are strikingly similar to real speech.

The results of experimental study of excitation of localized in time and space controlled disturbances (wave packets) in a supersonic swept-wing boundary layer are presented. The experiments were performed at Mach number M = 2 on the model of wing with a lenticular profile and a 40 degrees sweep angle of the leading edge at zero angle of attack. Wave packets were generated by a pulse electric discharge on the surface of the model. A structure of controlled wave packet was studied. It was found that the wave packet has an asymmetric shape. Comparison with the case of twodimensional boundary layer was done.

In this paper, aC0nonconforming quadrilateral element is proposed to solve the fourth-order elliptic singular perturbation problem. For each convex quadrilateralQ, the shape function space is the union ofS21(Q*) and a bubble space. The degrees of freedom are defined by the values at vertices and midpoints on the edges, and the mean values of integrals of normal derivatives over edges. The local basis functions of our element can be expressed explicitly by a new reference quadrilateral rather than by solving a linear system. It is shown that the method converges uniformly in the perturbation parameter. Lastly, numerical tests verify the convergence analysis.
