Abstract We study the influence of real structure of electromagnetic ion-cyclotron wave packets in the Earth’s radiation belts on precipitation of relativistic electrons. Automatic algorithm is used to distinguish isolated elements (wave packets) and obtain their amplitude and frequency profiles from satellite observations by Van Allen Probe B. We focus on rising-tone EMIC wave packets in the proton band, with a maximum amplitude of 1.2-1.6 nT. The resonant interaction of the considered wave packets with relativistic electrons 1.5-9 MeV is studied by numerical simulations. The precipitating fluxes are formed as a result of both linear and nonlinear interaction; for energies 2-5 MeV precipitating fluxes are close to the strong diffusion limit. The evolution of precipitating fluxes is influenced by generation of higher-frequency waves at the packet trailing edge near the equator and dissipation of lower-frequency waves in the He+ cyclotron resonance region at the leading edge. The wave packet amplitude modulation leads to a significant change of precipitated particles energy spectrum during short intervals of less than 1 minute. For short time intervals about 10-15 s, the approximation of each local amplitude maximum of the wave packet by a Gaussian amplitude profile and a linear frequency drift gives a satisfactory description of the resonant interaction.

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.

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.

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.

The interaction between an 8:1 aspect ratio rectangular jet and a flat plate, placed parallel to the jet, is addressed in this study. At high subsonic conditions and for certain relative locations of the plate, a resonance takes place with accompanying audible tones. Even when the tone is not audible the sound pressure level spectra are often marked by conspicuous peaks. The frequencies of these peaks, as functions of the plate’s length, its location relative to the jet as well as jet Mach number, are studied in an effort to understand the flow mechanism. It is demonstrated that the tones are not due to a simple feedback between the nozzle exit and the plate’s trailing edge; the leading edge also comes into play in determining the frequency. With parametric variation, it is found that there is an order in the most energetic spectral peaks; their frequencies cluster in distinct bands. The lowest frequency band is explained by an acoustic feedback involving diffraction at the plate’s leading edge. Under the resonant condition, a periodic flapping motion of the jet column is seen when viewed in a direction parallel to the plate. Phase-averaged Mach number data on a cross-stream plane near the plate’s trailing edge illustrate that the jet cross-section goes through large contortions within the period of the tone. Farther downstream a clear ‘axis switching’ takes place for the time-averaged cross-section of the jet that does not occur otherwise for a non-resonant condition.
