Abstract The space missions designed to visit small bodies of the Solar System boosted the study of the dynamics around non-spherical bodies. In this vein, we study the dynamics around a class of objects classified by us as Non-Spherical Symmetric Bodies, including contact binaries, triaxial ellipsoids, spherical bodies with a mass anomaly, among others. In the current work, we address the results for a body with a mass anomaly. We apply the pendulum model to obtain the width of the spin-orbit resonances raised by non-asymmetric gravitational terms of the central object. The Poincaré surface of section technique is adopted to confront our analytical results and to study the system’s dynamics by varying the parameters of the central object. We verify the existence of two distinct regions around an object with a mass anomaly: a chaotic inner region that extends beyond the corotation radius and a stable outer region. In the latter, we identify structures remarkably similar to those of the classical restrict and planar 3-body problem in the Poincaré surface of sections, including asymmetric periodic orbits associated with 1:1+p resonances. We apply our results to a Chariklo with a mass anomaly, obtaining that Chariklo rings are probably related to first kind periodic orbits and not with 1:3 spin-orbit resonance, as proposed in the literature. We believe that our work presents the first tools for studying mass anomaly systems.

Abstract The flow inside cavities between co-rotating compressor discs of aero-engines is driven by buoyancy, with Grashof numbers exceeding 1013. This phenomenon creates a conjugate problem: the Nusselt numbers depend on the radial temperature distribution of the discs, and the disc temperatures depend on the Nusselt numbers. Furthermore, Coriolis forces in the rotating fluid generate cyclonic and anti-cyclonic circulations inside the cavity. Such flows are three-dimensional, unsteady and unstable, and it is a challenge to compute and measure the heat transfer from the discs to the axial throughflow in the compressor. In this paper, Nusselt numbers are experimentally determined from measurements of steady-state temperatures on the surfaces of both discs in a rotating cavity of the Bath Compressor-Cavity Rig. The data are collected over a range of engine-representative parameters and are the first results from a new experimental facility specifically designed to investigate buoyancy-induced flow. The radial distributions of disc temperature were collected under carefully-controlled thermal boundary conditions appropriate for analysis using a Bayesian model combined with the equations for a circular fin. The Owen-Tang buoyancy model has been used to compare predicted radial distributions of disc temperatures and Nusselt numbers with some of the experimentally determined values, taking account of radiation between the interior surfaces of the cavity. The experiments show that the average Nusselt numbers on the disc increase as the buoyancy forces increase. At high rotational speeds the temperature rise in the core, created by compressibility effects in the air, attenuates the heat transfer and there is a critical rotational Reynolds number for which the Nusselt number is a maximum. In the cavity, there is an inner region dominated by forced convection and an outer region dominated by buoyancy-induced flow. The inner region is a mixing region, in which entrained cold throughflow encounters hot flow from the Ekman layers on the discs. Consequently, the Nusselt numbers on the downstream disc in the inner region tend to be higher than those on the upstream disc.

AbstractWe consider two-dimensional mass transport to a finite absorbing strip in a uniform shear flow as a model of surface-based biosensors. The quantity of interest is the Sherwood number Sh, namely the dimensionless net flux onto the strip. Considering early-time absorption, it is a function of the Péclet number Pe and the Damköhler number Da, which, respectively, represent the characteristic magnitude of advection and reaction relative to diffusion. With a view towards modelling nanoscale biosensors, we consider the limit Pe«1. This singular limit is handled using matched asymptotic expansions, with an inner region on the scale of the strip, where mass transport is diffusively dominated, and an outer region at distances that scale as Pe-1/2, where advection enters the dominant balance. At the inner region, the mass concentration possesses a point-sink behaviour at large distances, proportional to Sh. A rescaled concentration, normalised using that number, thus possesses a universal logarithmic divergence; its leading-order correction represents a uniform background concentration. At the outer region, where advection by the shear flow enters the leading-order balance, the strip appears as a point singularity. Asymptotic matching with the concentration field in that region provides the Sherwood number as $${\rm{Sh}} = {\pi \over {\ln (2/{\rm{P}}{{\rm{e}}^{1/2}}) + 1.0559 + \beta }},$$ wherein β is the background concentration. The latter is determined by the solution of the canonical problem governing the rescaled inner concentration, and is accordingly a function of Da alone. Using elliptic-cylinder coordinates, we have obtained an exact solution of the canonical problem, valid for arbitrary values of Da. It is supplemented by approximate solutions for both small and large Da values, representing the respective limits of reaction- and transport-limited conditions.

ABSTRACT This article studies the secondary’s rotation in a synchronous binary asteroid system in which the secondary enters the 1:1 spin-orbit resonance. The model used is the planar full two-body problem, composed of a spherical primary plus a triaxial ellipsoid secondary. Compared with classical spin-orbit work, there are two differences: (1) influence of the secondary’s rotation on the mutual orbit is considered and (2) instead of the Hamiltonian approach, the approach of periodic orbits is adopted. Our studies find the following. (1) The genealogy of the two families of periodic orbits is the same as that of the families around triangular libration points in the restricted three-body problem. That is, the long-period family terminates on to a short-period orbit travelling N times. (2) In the limiting case where the secondary’s mass is negligible, our results can be reduced to classical spin-orbit theory, by equating the long-period orbit with free libration and the short-period orbit with the forced libration caused by orbit eccentricity. However, the two models show obvious differences when the secondary’s mass is non-negligible. (3) By studying the stability of periodic orbits for a specific binary asteroid system, we are able to obtain the maximum libration amplitude of the secondary (which is usually less than 90°) and the maximum mutual orbit eccentricity that does not break the secondary’s synchronous state. We also find an anti-correlation between the secondary’s libration amplitude and the orbit eccentricity. The (65803) Didymos system is taken as an example to show the results.

We explore the merging of resonant periodic orbits in the frame work of planar circular restricted three body problem with the help of Poincaré surface of section. We have studied the effect of solar radiation pressure on 4:3, 3:2 and 2:1 periodic orbits. It is found that radiation pressure helps in merging these orbits (4:3 and 3.2 into 1:1 resonance and 2:1 into 1:1 resonance). At the time of merging these orbits become near-circular. The period and size of these orbits reduce with the increase in radiation pressure.

Jupiter has four large regular satellites called the Galilean satellites: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The inner three of the Galilean satellites orbit in a 4:2:1 mean motion resonance; therefore their orbital configuration may originate from the stopping of the migration of Io near the bump in the surface density distribution and following resonant trapping of Europa and Ganymede. The formation mechanism of the bump near the orbit of the innermost satellite, Io, is not yet understood, however. Here, we show that photophoresis in the circumjovian disk could be the cause of the bump using analytic calculations of steady-state accretion disks. We propose that photophoresis in the circumjovian disk could stop the inward migration of dust particles near the orbit of Io. The resulting dust-depleted inner region would have a higher ionization fraction, and thus admit increased magnetorotational-instability-driven accretion stress in comparison to the outer region. The increase of the accretion stress at the photophoretic dust barrier would form a bump in the surface density distribution, halting the migration of Io.

Abstract This study investigates the mean flow and radial heat-transfer behaviors in semiclosed rotating disk cavity within the canned reactor coolant pump. The flow in the semiclosed cavity contains the Stewartson type flow at inner region and the Batchelor type flow at outer region. The heat is radially transported from the outer rim of the semiclosed disk cavity to discharge-hole through the nondirect discharge (ND) portion of the superimposed flow from inlet. The effects of rotating Reynolds numbers, cavity aspect ratio and radial location of discharge-hole on the discharge ratio, pumping mass flow rate, local wall shear stress and radial heat-transfer coefficient are examined in the semiclosed rotating cavity flow, respectively. Based on the radial heat transfer behaviors of pumping secondary flow, an equivalent thermal network is proposed and validated by experiments, which can effectively predict the radial temperature distribution from the discharge hole to periphery with the viscous-heating and nonisothermal effects.

We investigated the dynamical reaction of the central region of galaxies to a falling massive black hole by N-body simulations. As the initial galaxy model, we used an isothermal King model and placed a massive black hole at around the half-mass radius of the galaxy. We found that the central core of the galaxy is destroyed by the heating due to the black hole and a very weak density cusp (ρ ∝ r−α, with α ∼ 0.5) is formed around the center. This result is consistent with recent observations of large elliptical galaxies by Hubble Space Telescope (Lauer et al. 1995; Byun et al. 1996; Gebhardt et al. 1996; Faber et al. 1996; Kormendy et al. 1996). The radius of the weak cusp region is large for large black hole mass. The velocity of the stars become tangentially anisotropic in the inner region, while in the outer region the stars have radially anisotropic velocity dispersion. Our result naturally explains the mechanism of the formation of the weak cusp found in the previous simulations of galaxy merging, and implies that the weak cusp observed in large elliptical galaxies may be formed by the heating process by sinking black holes during merging events.

Proso millet, a grain which is principally consumed in cooked form, is favored by consumers because of its rich nutritional value. However, the changes in morphological and physicochemical properties of proso millet grains occurring during the cooking process have rarely been reported. In this study, we investigated the changes in morphological and physicochemical properties of cooked waxy and non-waxy proso millets. During the cooking process, starch granules in the grains were gradually gelatinized starting from the outer region to the inner region and were gelatinized earlier in waxy proso millet than in non-waxy proso millet. Many filamentous network structures were observed in the cross sections of cooked waxy proso millet. As the cooking time increased, the long- and short-range, ordered structures of proso millets were gradually disrupted, and the ordered structures were fully disrupted by 20 min of cooking. In both waxy and non-waxy proso millets, thermal and pasting properties significantly changed with an increase in the cooking time. This study provides useful information for the processing of proso millet in the food industry.

We develop a new model for a spherically symmetric dark matter fluid sphere containing two regions: (i) Isotropic inner region with constant density and (ii) Anisotropic outer region. We solve the system of field equation by assuming a particular density profile along with a linear equation of state. The obtained solutions are well-behaved and physically acceptable which represent equilibrium and stable matter configuration by satisfying the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff (TOV) equation and causality condition, condition on adiabatic index, Harrison–Zeldovich–Novikov criterion, respectively. We consider the compact star EXO 1785-248 (Mass [Formula: see text] and radius R[Formula: see text]8.8 km) to analyze our solutions by graphical demonstrations.

Electron microscopy revealed that numerous spherical or ellipsoidal globules of reserve nutrient material fill the chlamydospore cells, with cytoplasm as a thin film between these globules. The basal cell of the chain is not a chlamydospore; it is filled with cytoplasm and does not contain these globules. Its plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, lomasomes, and endoplasmic reticulum are evident in ultra-thin section. The walls of chlamydospore cells are thick and without distinct layers, except for an electron-dense outer region and a more electron-transparent inner region. Chlamydospore cells in the chain are separated by a very thin electron-transparent binding layer. A thin two-layered envelope surrounds the entire chain. When chlamydospore chains are treated with chitinase, this envelope remains attached around single separated cells, rather than dissolving away. Cytoplasm of cells in the chain is continuous through septal pores. The end walls of the cells become the opercula after the cells are freed from the chain. The germ tube always emerges at the side where the operculum opens, never through the septal pore.
