Linear and nonlinear dynamics of cylindrically and spherically expanding detonation waves

open access: yes, 2005
The nonlinear stability of cylindrically and spherically expanding detonation waves is investigated using numerical simulations for both directly (blast) initiated detonations and cases where the simulations are initialized by placing quasi-steady ...

The Mechanism of Resonant Amplification of One-Dimensional Detonation Propagating in a Non-Uniform Mixture

open access: yesComputation
The propagation of detonation waves (i.e., supersonic combustion waves) in non-uniform gaseous mixtures has become a matter of interest over the past several years due to the development of rotating detonation engines.

POSS Polyimide Composite Sealed Triple‐Junction GaAs Thin‐Film Solar Cell for Long‐Term Low Earth Orbit Serve

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultrathin oxide layer and ultraviolet absorbent are introduced into polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) polyimide to improve the transmittance conservation and realize near zero mass loss against ultraviolet and atomic oxygen exposures. The POSS polyimide composite sealed triple‐junction GaAs thin‐film solar cell exhibits enhanced endurance of ...

An exact particle method for scalar conservation laws and its application to stiff reaction kinetics

open access: yes, 2010
An "exact" method for scalar one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws is presented. The approach is based on the evolution of shock particles, separated by local similarity solutions.

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Nebular Spectra and Explosion Asymmetry of Type Ia Supernovae

open access: yes, 2009
The spectral signatures of asymmetry in Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) explosions are investigated, using a sample of late-time nebular spectra. First, a kinematical model is constructed for SN Ia 2003hv, which can account for the main features in its optical,
