AbstractNonlinear coupling of the motion in the three spatial degrees of freedom of a cold fluid electron–positron plasma is investigated. Exact solutions describing expanding flows with oscillations are obtained. It is found that the energy in the irrotational flow component is in general transferred to the rotational components, but not in the reversed direction. Furthermore, since the density evolution need not be related to all the three flow components, oscillations in one or two of the flow fields can be purely electromagnetic and are not accompanied by density oscillations.

Plunging Breaker

Three velocity components of water particles in a plunging breaker over a horizontal step on the bed of a two-dimensional laboratory wave tank have been determined simultaneously by means of an elaborate flowmeter that measures the flow drag on three ‘tension threads’, with each recording a separate flow component.It is found that all three of the r.m.s. values in the plunging breaker become maximum at x/L ≈ 0·7, where x is the distance from the breaking point to the shore and L is the wavelength. It is found that both the velocity and r.m.s. values of the transverse flow component generated by the shoaling and wave breaking become comparable to those of the other two flow components.On the basis of spectral analyses it is found that major wave frequencies in both the longitudinal and vertical flow components of the original two-dimensional wave survive even after experiencing relatively strong shoaling and wave breaking, and part of the original wave energy is transferred to the transverse flow component and is located at these major frequencies. It is found that the majority of the higher-harmonic-frequency components (or turbulent fluctuations) are generated in the shoaling process and that the wave breaking provides a relatively minor contribution to the generation. Finally, it is found that, through the shoaling and wave breaking, the original wave energy is transported to a frequency range lower than the primary wave frequency (negative cascade), as well as to the higher frequency range (positive cascade) in each flow component.

Mechanically Stabilized

Compact linear collider (CLIC) is a study for a future electron–positron collider that would allow physicists to explore a new energy region beyond the capabilities of today's particle accelerators. The demanding transverse and vertical beam sizes and emittance specifications are resulting in stringent alignment and a nanometre stability requirement. In the current feasibility study, the main beam quadrupole magnets have to be actively pre-aligned with a precision of 1 µm in five degrees of freedom before being mechanically stabilized to the nanometre scale above 1 Hz. This contribution describes the approach of performing this active pre-alignment based on an eccentric cam system. In order to limit the amplification of the vibration sources at resonant frequencies, a sufficiently high eigenfrequency is required. Therefore, the contact region between cam and support was optimized for adequate stiffness based on the Hertzian theory. Furthermore, practical tests performed on a single-degree-of-freedom mockup will show the limitation factors and further improvements required for successful integration in a full-scale quadrupole mockup presently under design.

This report concerns the development of a relationship between the human mechanical impedance and the coupling of the human center of mass to the environment. The mechanical impedance is a common analysis tool in biomechanics while the analysis of the coupling of the center of mass to the environment is technically more difficult, if not impossible. The development is based on linear, passive, isotropic theory and shows that the transfer function which expresses the relation between the motion of the center of mass and the motion of the source is similar to a linear second order mechanical system in each of the translational spatial degrees of freedom.

We investigate the internal-state Bell nonlocal entanglement dynamics, as measured by CHSH inequality of two atoms interacting with a vacuum multi-mode noise field by taking into account the spatial degrees of freedom of the two atoms. The dynamics of Bell nonlocality of the atoms with the atomic internal states being initially in a Werner-type state is studied, by deriving the analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation, and tracing over the degrees of freedom of the field and the external motion of the two atoms. In addition, through comparison with entanglement as measured by concurrence, we find that the survival time of entanglement is much longer than that of the Bell-inequality violation. And the comparison of the quantum correlation time between two Werner-type states is discussed.
