    Notes: The dynamics and noise of a dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) with the McCumber parameter βc=2πR2IcC/Φ0 close to the unity (where Ic, R, C are the critical current, the shunt resistance, and the capacitance of the Josephson junctions comprising the SQUID, respectively, and Φ0=2.07×10−15 Wb is the magnetic flux quantum) integrated with a planar spiral input coil have been experimentally studied. The length of the spiral input coil was chosen to match its λ/4 microwave resonance frequency to the plasma resonance frequency of the SQUID. The input coil resonance enhances the overall quality factor Q of the Josephson oscillations in the SQUID and, as a result, increases the dynamic resistance Rd and the gradient of the flux-to-voltage characteristics ∂V/∂Φ without hysteresis. This relaxes the tolerance for the βc parameter, simplifies the technological process, and improves the yield of devices. A dc SQUID with loop inductance L=31.4 pH, βc=0.72, and a six turn input coil has demonstrated a nondistorted quasisinusoidal flux-to-voltage transfer function with an exceptionally large modulation depth of approximately 140 μV peak-to-peak. A spectral density of the intrinsic magnetic flux noise as low as 3.5×10−7 Φ0/Hz1/2 has been measured in the double stage configuration at a temperature of 4.2 K using direct read-out electronics. This corresponds to the intrinsic energy resolution of ε=12.5h. In combination with an intermediary transformer, the current resolution of the SQUID is as low as 1.25 pA/Hz1/2 with an input coil inductance of 58 nH. The coupled energy resolution is εc=45h in the white noise region. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Early work of Ricardo is described, in which squish is used in flat-head engines to generate turbulence levels comparable to those in overhead-valve engines, leading to rapid flame propagation, and suppressing knock. Work by NACA before World War II is described, in which turbulence levels were measured in overhead-valve engines, indicating indirectly that surprisingly high levels were achieved just before ignition, possibly due to a tumble instability. Finally, work of Obukhov of 30 years ago is described, in which instabilities of tumbling flow are investigated in ellipsoids crudely modeling the engine cylinder as the piston rises; this suggests that there is an instability leading to intense small-scale motion just before ignition. Suggestions for further work are given.

    Notes: The existing body of literature on particle transport by turbulent flow has concentrated on the behavior of spherical particles. However, the dispersed phase in several suspensions of industrial interest consists of nonspherical particles, in particular, flexible slender bodies or threads. The present work considers the problem of disorientation of initially aligned material lines in isotropic turbulence, an idealization which serves to test a general model for particle orientation effects in the transport of threads in turbulent flow. Results obtained from the model agree well with data.

    Notes: Low-dimensional models for the turbulent wall layer display an intermittent phenomenon with an ejection phase and a sweep phase that strongly resembles the bursting phenomenon observed in experimental flows. The probability distribution of inter-burst times has the observed shape [E. Stone and P. J. Holmes, Physica D 37, 20 (1989); SIAM J. Appl. Math. 50, 726 (1990); Phys. Lett. A 5, 29 (1991); P. J. Holmes and E. Stone, in Studies in Turbulence, edited by T. B. Gatski, S. Sarkar, and C. G. Speziale (Springer, Heidelberg, 1992)]. However, the time scales both for bursts and interburst durations are unrealistically long, a fact that was not appreciated until recently. We believe that the long time scales are due to the model's inclusion of only a single coherent structure, when in fact a succession of quasi-independent structures are being swept past the sensor in an experiment. A simple statistical model of this situation restores the magnitude of the observed bursting period, although there is a great deal of flexibility in the various parameters involved. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A low-dimensional model, using the proper orthogonal, or Karhunen–Loève decomposition, has been remarkably successful in representing the behavior of the wall region of a turbulent boundary layer. We briefly summarize this work. We may hope for similar success in other flows in which coherent structures play an important role, in particular flows with density fluctuations. We sketch an approach to such a decomposition for flows with density fluctuations, suggesting various alternatives which weigh the available information differently. In such a low-dimensional model, obtaining the empirical eigenfunctions poses a problem, since they can usually be determined only from extensive measurements or direct numerical simulations. However, recent work with energy method stability theory (modified by use of an anisotropic eddy viscosity and feedback to the mean profile) has been remarkably successful in predicting the form of the empirical eigenfunctions in the isothermal boundary layer. We present here preliminary results for sheared Rayleigh–Bénard convection; these results do not include anisotropic eddy viscosities and feedback, and do not predict directly the form of the POD eigenfunctions; however, a very satisfactory comparison can be made with the second order moments obtained from a DNS. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this paper we examine how the flow in the wall region can be predicted from realistic (partial) measurements. The underlying motivation of this study is the improvement of control schemes for near-wall flows. We propose a method based on the proper orthogonal decomposition which provides estimated amplitudes for the coherent structures (i.e., the large scales) of the flow from wall measurements. The method is tested for the direct numerical simulation of a minimal flow unit. The large scales obtained by reconstruction from wall data are compared to those of the velocity field in the wall layer. The dominant structures—the streamwise streaks—are well recovered, the cross-stream motions less so since they are associated with higher-order structures unaccounted for in our truncation. We defined "rescaled" eigenfunctions to try to improve the representation of the cross-stream components of the flow. Aliasing effects due to realistic (large) sensor spacings were examined. We find that the spanwise spacing is the limiting factor for the estimation, so that a realistic grid will affect the reconstruction by at least 20% compared to full wall information. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A novel miniature superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer with direct readout electronics has been developed. A high flux-to-voltage transfer factor of up to 2500 μV/Φ0 is achieved without additional positive feedback (Φ0 is the flux quantum). A flux resolution of 8×10−7 Φ0/Hz1/2, corresponding to a magnetic moment sensitivity of approximately 2×10−20 A m2/Hz1/2, has been measured. This magnetometer can be used to study the dynamic magnetization properties (including nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging) of micron and submicron size particles and for high-resolution surface magnetometry. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
