Perturbational finite volume scheme for the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations

Starting from the second-order finite volume scheme,though numerical value perturbation of the cell facial fluxes, the perturbational finite volume (PFV) scheme of the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations for compressible flow is developed in this paper. The central PFV scheme is used to compute the one-dimensional NS equations with shock wave.Numerical results show that the PFV scheme can obtain essentially non-oscillatory solution.

Navier-Stokes(NS)方程组差分计算中的物理和网格尺度效应及NS方程组的简化

对于高Re数流动计算,在通常二阶精度NS差分格式和网格数条件下,存在某些粘性项落入修正微分方程截断误差项的问题。这类NS方程组计算实际是计算某种简化NS方程组,而且重复计算误差物理粘性项既浪费机时和内存,误差积累又会对数值解产生不可预测的影响。避免上述缺陷的办法一个是提高NS差分格式的精度,另一个是丢掉可能落入截断误差项的物理粘性项,把NS方程组简化为广义NS方程组。广义NS计算避免了误差物理粘性项误差积累对数值解的不可知影响,又可节省内存和机时,对高Re数流体工程计算很有好处。利用广义NS方程组计算超声速绕前向和后向台阶流动的结果表明:广义NS方程组与NS方程组的数值结果很好相符。

Imaging properties of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscope

The coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscope with the combination of confocal and CARS techniques is a remarkable alternative for imaging chemical or biological specimens that neither fluoresce nor tolerate labelling. CARS is a nonlinear optical process, the imaging properties of CARS microscopy will be very different from the conventional confocal microscope. In this paper, the intensity distribution and the polarization property of the optical field near the focus was calculated. By using the Green function, the precise analytic solution to the wave equation of a Hertzian dipole source was obtained. We found that the intensity distributions vary considerably with the different experimental configurations and the different specimen shapes. So the conventional description of microscope (e.g. the point spread function) will fail to describe the imaging properties of the CARS microscope.

The intensity distributions of collected signals in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy with the combining of confocal and CARS techniques is a remarkable alternative for imaging chemical or biological specimens that neither fluoresce nor tolerate labeling. The CARS is a nonlinear optical process, the imaging properties of CARS microscopy will be very different from the conventional confocal microscopy. In this paper, we calculated the propagation of CARS signals by using the wave equation in medium and the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA), and find that the intensity angular distributions vary considerably with the different experimental configurations and the different specimen shapes. So the conventional description of microscopy (e.g.. the point spread function) will fail to descript the imaging properties of CARS microscopy. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
