Role of K/Bi disorder in the electronic structure of β -K2 Bi8 Se13
(2009)
We have carried out tunneling spectroscopy and first-principles studies for β -K2 Bi8 Se13, a promising thermoelectric material with partially disordered mixed K/Bi sites. The tunneling data, obtained with a scanning ...
A simplified structure-based model using standard turbulence scale equations: computation of rotating wall-bounded flows
(2006)
Two linear eddy-viscosity models, the v2-f and k-ω models, have been combined with an algebraic structure-based algorithm for the evaluation of the Reynolds stresses. This closure was originally designed as an integral ...
Rapidly sheared homogeneous stratified turbulence in a rotating frame
(2007)
Rapid distortion theory is applied to stratified homogeneous turbulence that is sheared in a rotating frame. Insight into the stabilizing and destabilizing effects of the combined stratification and frame rotation is gained ...
Nonlinear Distortion and Attenuation of Intense Acoustic Waves in Lossy Media Obeying a Frequency Power Law
(2000)
Nonlinear propagation of a periodic wave and a single pulse with a shack front through a lossy medium is studied theoretically. The medium is characterized by the frequency dependence of the attenuation coefficient obeying ...
Complex effects in Large Eddy Simulations

Preface
(2007)
Design under uncertainty and assessment of performance reliability of a dual-use medium truck with hydraulic-hybrid powertrain and fuel cell auxiliary power unit
(2005)
Medium trucks constitute a large market segment of the commercial transportation sector, and are also used widely for military tactical operations. Recent technological advances in hybrid powertrains and fuel cell auxiliary ...
Structure anisotropy in MHD turbulence subjected to mean shear and frame rotation
(Affiliation: Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, United StatesAffiliation: Center for Turbulence Research, NASA Ames Research Center, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Kassinos, S.C.Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprusemail: kassinos@ucy.ac.cy, 2005)
We consider homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a uniform external magnetic field while being sheared in fixed and rotating frames. We take both the frame-rotation axis and the applied magnetic ...
When structure makes a difference: Computation of rotating wall-bounded flows with an algebraic structure-based model
