Anomalous surface waves from Lop Nor nuclear explosions: Observations and numerical modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Surface waves from the Chinese test site of Lop Nor are analyzed using long-period and broadband stations located at regional and teleseismic distances and at different azimuths. For most azimuths, strong Love waves between 0.02 and 0.045 Hz are observed

"Ultimate state" of two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection between free-slip fixed temperature boundaries

open access: yes, 2011
Rigorous upper limits on the vertical heat transport in two dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection between stress-free isothermal boundaries are derived from the Boussinesq approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The Nusselt number Nu is bounded in

Prandtl and Rayleigh numbers dependences in Rayleigh-Bénard convection [PDF]

open access: yesEurophysics Letters (EPL), 2002
Using low-temperature gaseous helium close to the critical point, we investigate the Prandtl-number dependence of the effective heat conductivity (Nusselt number) for a 1/2 aspect ratio Rayleigh-Benard cell. Very weak dependence is observed in the range 0.7 < Pr < 21; 2 × 108 < Ra < 2 × 1010: the absolute value of the average logarithmic slope δ = (∂ln

The 2008 Election: A Preregistered Replication Analysis

open access: yesStatistics and Public Policy, 2017
We present an increasingly stringent set of replications, a multilevel regression and poststratification analysis of polls from the 2008 U.S. presidential election campaign, focusing on a set of plots showing the estimated Republican vote share for ...

Rayleigh-Taylor instability and mushroom-pattern formation in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate

open access: yes, 2009
The Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the interface in an immiscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensate is investigated using the mean-field and Bogoliubov theories.

Spectral analysis of boundary layers in Rayleigh-Benard convection

open access: yes, 2007
A combined experimental and numerical study of the boundary layer in a 4:1 aspect-ratio Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard cell over a four-decade range of Rayleigh numbers has been undertaken aimed at gaining a better insight into the character of the boundary layers.

Simulation of the growth of the 3D Rayleigh-Taylor instability in Supernova Remnants using an expanding reference frame [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Context: The Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities generated by the deceleration of a supernova remnant during the ejecta-dominated phase are known to produce finger-like structures in the matter distribution which modify the geometry of the remnant.

Measurement of Rayleigh Wave Beams Using Angle Beam Wedge Transducers as the Transmitter and Receiver with Consideration of Beam Spreading

open access: yesSensors, 2017
A theoretical model, along with experimental verification, is developed to describe the generation, propagation and reception of a Rayleigh wave using angle beam wedge transducers. The Rayleigh wave generation process using an angle beam wedge transducer

Fault-tolerant and finite-error localization for point emitters within the diffraction limit

open access: yes, 2016
We implement an estimator for determining the separation between two incoherent point sources. This estimator relies on image inversion interferometry and when used with the appropriate data analytics, it yields an estimate of the separation with finite ...

The Rayleigh Function [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1963
We propose to call O2n(V) the Rayleigh function of order 2n. The Rayleigh functions of odd orders are identically zero. These functions were first used by Euler to determine the three smallest zeros of J0(2 Vz); and Rayleigh, independently, calculated the smallest positive zero of J,(z) with the aid of these functions.
