Characteristic rupture height of the mediating air film beneath an impacting drop on atomically smooth mica

John Martin Kolinski, Ramin Kaviani

Before a droplet can contact a surface during impact, it must first displace the air beneath it. Over a wide range of impact velocities, the droplet first squeezes the air into a thin film, enhancing its resistance to drainage; this slows the progress of t ...

Reaction between propargyl radical and 1,3-butadiene to form five to seven membered rings. Theoretical study

Daniela Trogolo

Propargyl radical addition to 1,3-butadiene seems to be a promising channel to form 5-, 6-, and 7-membered rings. These are important steps in the growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and soot platelets. The reaction mechanism, involving 97 intermedi ...

NBI fast ion confinement in the helical core of MAST hybrid-like plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, David Pfefferlé, Cyril Misev

Energetic ions are found to be transported strongly from the core of MAST hybrid-like plasmas during long-lived mode (LLM) magnetohydrodynamic activity. The resulting impact on the neutral beam ion deposition and concurrent current drive is modelled usin ...

Polar ring galaxies as tests of gravity

Polar ring galaxies are ideal objects with which to study the three-dimensional shapes of galactic gravitational potentials since two rotation curves can be measured in two perpendicular planes. Observational studies have uncovered systematically larger ro ...

Connecting C-19 Norditerpenoids to C-20 Diterpenes: Total Syntheses of 6-Hydroxy-5,6-dehydrosugiol, 6-Hydroxysugiol, and Taiwaniaquinone H, and Formal Synthesis of Dichroanone

Rosario Scopelliti, Karl Gademann

Oxidation of the B-ring of abietane derivatives by Sharpless dihydroxylation gave the natural products 6-hydroxy-5,6-dehydrosugiol and 6-hydroxysugiol. Moreover, further oxidation gave a hydroxy dione derivative that provides a synthetic entry into the C-1 ...

Open-loop control of compressible afterbody flows using adjoint methods

Philippe Meliga

The flow past an axisymmetric body is generically unstable to a steady and a time-periodic global instability, the latter being thought to lead the low-frequency unsteadiness of the wake even at larger Reynolds numbers. The present paper examines how the g ...
