Three-point odd-order correlations and four-point even-order correlations of the longitudinal velocity fluctuations in grid-generated turbulence have been measured using linearized hot-wire anemometry, digital sampling, and a high-speed digital computer. The measured correlations are compared with relations between higher-order correlations corresponding to non-Gaussian Gram-Charlier joint probability densities for three and four variables. The fourth-order, three-point Gram-Charlier distribution accurately describes the relation between measured odd-order three-point correlations. The measured fourth-order even-order correlations may be accurately predicted from the two-point correlation using Millionshtchikov's joint-Gaussian hypothesis, except for small values of the separations. The disagreement at small separations cannot be reduced through use of the Gram-Charlier approximation.

Two-point time correlations up to eighth order of longitudinal velocity fluctuations in grid-generated turbulence have been measured using linearized hot-wire anemometry, digital sampling, and a high-speed digital computer. A novel feature of the present measurements is the adoption of digital Fourier analysis, using the recently developed fast-Fourier transform method. The joint probability density function for the velocity fluctuations at two points separated in time is found to be significantly non-Gaussian. All measured even-order correlations are nearly identical with those reported by Frenkiel & Klebanoff (1967 a, b), and higher-order correlations may be accurately predicted from the second-order correlation by assuming a Gaussian joint probability density. All individual odd-order correlations are substantially different from those reported by Frenkiel & Klebanoff. In particular, all mean values of odd powers of the fluctuating velocity are nearly zero, and the correlations are nearly antisymmetrical functions of the time delay as would be the case for purely isotropic homogeneous turbulence. In spite of the large difference between the individual measured odd-order correlations and previous measurements, quantities such as the skewness and skewness factor derived from certain combinations of the correlations are found to be quite insensitive to observed differences in the form of the correlations and are very similar to previous measurements.

Abstract We consider a statistical model for finite-rank symmetric tensor factorization and prove a single-letter variational expression for its asymptotic mutual information when the tensor is of even order. The proof applies the adaptive interpolation method originally invented for rank-one factorization. Here we show how to extend the adaptive interpolation to finite-rank and even-order tensors. This requires new non-trivial ideas with respect to the current analysis in the literature. We also underline where the proof falls short when dealing with odd-order tensors.

Lowest-order cumulants provide important information on the shape of the emission source in femtoscopy. For the simple case of noninteracting identical particles, we show how the fourth-order source cumulant can be determined from measured cumulants in momentum space. The textbook Gram–Charlier series is found to be highly inaccurate, while the related Edgeworth series provides increasingly accurate estimates. Ordering of terms compatible with the Central Limit Theorem appears to play a crucial role even for non-Gaussian distributions.

Order Dispersion

The transmission speed of optical network strongly depends on the impact of higher order dispersion. In presence of coherent crosstalk, which cannot be otherwise controlled by optical filtering, the impact of higher order dispersions becomes more pronounced. In this paper, the general expressions, that describe pulse deformation due to second- and fourth-order dispersions in a single-mode fiber, are given. The responses for such even-order dispersions, in presence of coherent crosstalk, are characterized by waveforms with long trailing edges. The transmission quality of optical pulses, due to both individual and combined influence of second- and fourth-order dispersions, is studied in this paper. Finally, the pulse shape and eye diagrams are obtained.

Component Failures

During both running and wheel cut operations, wheels of railway vehicles and the friction rollers that support and drive the wheelset on a typical wheel cut lathe are subject to wear and hence are likely to develop out-of-round characteristics after sustained use. The resulting out-of-round wheels can significantly affect the ride quality and can potentially increase the incidence of fatigue-related component failures due to the resulting higher intensity loading cycles. Furthermore, the corresponding out-of-round characteristics of the lathe's friction rollers will continue to degrade the subsequent cut quality of wheels. For the analysis of the out-of-round characteristics caused by an underfloor wheel lathe used for the high-speed trains in China, a mathematical model based on a typical electric multiple unit (EMU) vehicle's wheelsets and their interactions with the wheel lathe friction rollers was established. Factors influencing the cut quality of the wheels, including the number of cuts, eccentricity forms of the friction rollers and the longitudinal spacing of the two rollers, have been analysed. The results show that two cuts can effectively remove the higher order polygon on the wheel surface. The eccentricity and phase angle of the friction rollers have no influence on the cut quality of higher order polygons, whereas they are the primary cause for the fourth-order polygons. The severity of the fourth-order polygon depends on the level and the phase of the eccentricity of the friction rollers. The space of the two rollers can also significantly affect the cut quality. Obtaining the theoretical and practical value for the maintenance of polygonised wheels using the underfloor lathe is the main outcome of this study.

Twin round and elliptic jets with nozzle spacing of S/d = 2.8 are investigated and the results are compared with those obtained from single jets. The measurements were performed at Re = 10000 using particle image velocimetry. The results show that the twin elliptic jets merge and combine faster than the round jets. However, the twin elliptic jets have lower spreading than their corresponding single jet but in the round jets it is opposite. The vortical structures obtained using swirling strength analysis are more intense in the elliptic jets compared with the round jets; consistent with their higher spreading. In the shear layers, the velocity skewness is considerably positive due to the diffusion of high-speed jet fluid towards the ambient. On the other hand, the streamwise skewness on the centerline is negative because of the entrainment of low-speed ambient fluid; resulting in centerline velocity decay. In addition, the joint and weighted joint probability density functions are used to understand the dominant events which contribute into the mixing of the jets with their surrounding fluid.

AbstractIn a finite Desarguesian plane of odd order, it was shown by Segre thirty years ago that a set of maximum size with at most two points on a line is a conic. Here, in a plane of odd or even order, sufficient conditions are given for a set with at most three points on a line to be a cubic curve. The case of an elliptic curve is of particular interest.

Abstract We formulate the two-point correlation function of primordial black holes (PBHs) at their formation time, based on the functional integration approach which has often been used in the context of halo clustering. We find that PBH clustering on super-Hubble scales could never be induced in the case where the initial primordial fluctuations are Gaussian, while it can be enhanced by the so-called local-type trispectrum (four-point correlation function) of the primordial curvature perturbations.
