In addition, Bödewadt flow is of paramount importance in fluid dynamics of rotating systems such as turbomachinery and geophysical flows. Moreover, nanofluid’s enhanced heat transfer properties can improve cooling efficiency in applications involving turbines and electronic systems. This study delves into the Bödewadt boundary layer flow of a Reiner-Rivlin fluid containing nanoparticles over a stationary porous disk under slip conditions. The two-phase Buongiorno model is employed, incorporating temperature-dependent diffusion coefficients for enhanced accuracy. To facilitate numerical simulations, the transport equations are converted into an ordinary differential system comprising four unknowns. In the present work, a highly reliable Keller-Box methodology is adopted which agrees very well with the MATLAB built-in program ‘bvp4c’. The computed 2-D and 3-D streamlines vividly capture the Bödewadt flow scenario with Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid. The principle aim to investigate the impact of non-Newtonian behaviour and slip on the flow pattern, while also examining the behavior of temperature/concentration field for nanoparticle working fluids. As thermophoretic diffusion increases, the thermal boundary layer thickens considerably, leading to a notable decrease in the cooling rate of the disk. In contrast, Brownian diffusion has only a minimal impact on the heat transport. In addition, wall suction effect is observed to significantly boost the disk’s cooling rate, though at the expanse of increasing skin friction coefficients. This study introduces linear and quadratic regression models designed to precisely predict both the surface drag and disk cooling rate, which are crucial factors in engineering processes.","PeriodicalId":20067,"journal":{"name":"Physica Scripta","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142257435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observably, the static anisotropic wetting and rolling of water droplets are more favourable in the parallel (or, striation) direction than in the perpendicular direction. Inspired from such water repellency of the sword lily leaf surface, here bio-mimicked polystyrene (PS) leaf construct is developed through a soft lithographic technique. Considering different water droplet sizes (4–10 μl) on natural lily leaf and bio-mimicked PS construct surfaces, the respective parallel (θ||) and perpendicular (θ⊥) water contact angles (WCAs) stand at, θ|| ∼143°–147°, θ⊥ ∼156°–169°; and θ|| ∼130°–139°, θ⊥ ∼142°–145°. Moreover, the specimens under study exhibit roll-off angles ranging, α|| ∼8°–23° (α⊥ ∼16°–41°) and α|| ∼21°–49° (α⊥ ∼40°–55°) along parallel (and perpendicular) directions; respectively. A noticeable difference in α⊥ and α|| values can be ascribed to the profound three-phase contact line (TCL) pinning along the perpendicular direction taking advantage of striation as means of barrier. The roll-off angles can also alter due to a variation in the droplet volume. The unusual anisotropic superhydrophobicity and unidirectional droplet roll-off can be attributed to the entrapped air within the micro-nano texture beneath the water droplet along with the pinning effect in the perpendicular direction caused by the striated heights.","PeriodicalId":20067,"journal":{"name":"Physica Scripta","volume":"1 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142257421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reflect the mapping ability of dark state polariton, we choose the odd and even bosonic coherent states as the probe field in EIT process, and employ spin squeezing, entanglement, and quantum correlation to characterize nonclassical correlations of atomic ensembles during the manipulation of the driving field. It is shown that the differences between the odd and even coherent states are comprehensively reflected in the three characterizations of nonclassical correlations generated through dark state polaritons. The even bosonic coherent states can perfectly transfer bosonic squeezing into atomic ensembles, resulting in spin squeezing. Although the odd bosonic coherent states cannot induce the spin squeezing, they have an advantage over the even bosonic coherent states in generating quantum entanglement and quantum correlations. Furthermore, we demonstrate that atomic ensembles can achieve significant spin squeezing with squeezing degree ∝ 1/N2/3 through the one-axis twisting (OAT) model and two-axis twisting (TAT) model under the large N limit with the low excitation conditions, and the EIT mechanism was used to transfer the generated spin squeezing to the bosonic field, providing a feasible strategy for obtaining significant bosonic squeezing.","PeriodicalId":20067,"journal":{"name":"Physica Scripta","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142257430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To accurately interpret the results of the dielectric response, the effect of temperature on the results in time and frequency domains, must be corrected. In this paper, firstly a 200 MVA transformer is selected as a test object and FDS and PDC tests are performed on it at different temperatures. Then, based on the FDS results performed on a transformer at different temperatures, the parameters of the insulation model have been estimated by using genetic algorithm (GA). Next, with the help of artificial neural network (ANN), the parameters of the insulation model, related to the different temperatures are transferred into the reference parameters. After that, the parameters of the transferred insulation model, the FDS curves are plotted and transferred to the reference temperature curve and the effect of temperature on them is compensated. By using the correlation of the time and frequency domain results, with the help of transferred insulation model parameters, the PDC results are also plotted and transmitted on the reference PDC curve. Finally, with such a method, the effect of temperature on the PDC results is compensated.","PeriodicalId":20067,"journal":{"name":"Physica Scripta","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142257431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the known optical properties of PVA and azo dyes individually, the combined effects of Su-IV doping in PVA on the material’s optical and nonlinear optical properties have not been thoroughly investigated. This study addresses this gap by exploring the interactions between PVA and Su-IV at various doping concentrations (0.1–0.8 wt%) and their subsequent impact on the material’s structural and optical characteristics. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to identify distinct vibrational groups within the composites, revealing that the incorporation of Su-IV induced random deviations in most absorption intensities compared to pristine PVA. Notably, new peaks at 519 and 444 cm−1 emerged, intensifying with increasing Su-IV concentrations, indicating significant interactions between the composite constituents. The optical properties were analyzed through transmittance and reflectance measurements, which uncovered new absorption peaks at 518 and 357 nm in PVA/Su-IV composites. These peaks correspond to electronic energy transitions of 2.4 and 3.6 eV, respectively, and their intensities increased with higher Su-IV content. Additionally, the indirect and direct bandgaps were decreased as Su-IV concentrations increased. The refractive index (n) analysis showed typical dispersion behavior between 850 and 2500 nm, aligning with the Wemple-DiDomenico (WDD) model. Furthermore, the oscillator parameters were calculated. Also, the nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ(3)) was boosted from 4.19 × 10−6 for pure PVA to 3.60 × 10−4 for the sample with 0.8 wt% Su-IV. The nonlinear refractive index (n2) was also measured at 8.55 × 10−2 for the doped sample. These findings demonstrate the potential of PVA/Su-IV composites for applications in nonlinear optics and photonics.","PeriodicalId":20067,"journal":{"name":"Physica Scripta","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142257482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
