Toward understanding the physical underpinnings of spatial and spectral morphologies of pulsar wind nebulae

open access: yes, 2017
We discuss the observational properties of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) linking them to the injected (at the termination shock) electron spectral energy distribution and parameters of pulsar magnetospheres.

Research on bulbous bow optimization based on the improved PSO algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesChina Ocean Engineering, 2017
On order to reduce the total resistance of a hull, an optimization framework for the bulbous bow optimization was presented. The total resistance in calm water was selected as the objective function, and the overset mesh technique was used for mesh generation. RANS method was used to calculate the total resistance of the hull.
