Spatial optimal responses to both inlet disturbances and harmonic external forcing for hypersonic flows over a blunt cone at nonzero angles of attack are obtained by efficiently solving the direct-adjoint equations with a parabolic…
The maximum energy to which cosmic rays can be accelerated at weakly-magnetised ultra-relativistic shocks is investigated. We demonstrate that for such shocks, in which the scattering of energetic particles is mediated exclusively by ion…
Low angular momentum accretion flows can have standing and oscillating shock waves. We study the region of the parameter space in which multiple sonic points occur in viscous flows in presence of various cooling effects such as…
We investigate the hydrodynamics of a variant of classical Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion: a totally absorbing sphere moves at various Mach numbers (3 and 10) relative to a medium, which is taken to be an ideal gas having a velocity…
Numerical simulations of magnetosonic wave formation driven by an expanding cylindrical piston are performed to get better physical insight into the initiation and evolution of large-scale coronal waves. Several very basic initial…
Compressible vortex rings, usually formed at the open end of a shock tube, often show interesting phenomena during their formation, evolution, and propagation depending on the shock Mach number (Ms) and exit flow conditions. The Mach number…
This study investigates the origin and sustenance of self induced oscillations of shock structures in a hypersonic flow over a double wedge configuration. Previously, various researchers have considered the double wedge flow configuration…
We have optimized the zero frequency first hyperpolarizability \beta of a one-dimensional piecewise linear potential well containing a single electron by adjusting the shape of that potential. With increasing numbers of parameters in the…
We derive upper bounds to free-space concentration of electromagnetic waves, mapping out the limits to maximum intensity for any spot size and optical beam-shaping device. For sub-diffraction-limited optical beams, our bounds suggest the…
One-dimensional numerical simulations based on hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian approach are performed to investigate the interactions between propagating shock waves and dispersed evaporating water droplets in two-phase gas-droplet flows.…
Liquid crystal elastomer films that morph into cones are strikingly capable lifters. Thus motivated, we combine theory, numerics, and experiments to reexamine the load-bearing capacity of conical shells. We show that a cone squashed between…
This work investigates the consequences of imposing a volume constraint on the maximum power that can be absorbed from progressive regular incident waves by an attenuating line absorber heaving in a travelling wave mode. Under assumptions…
Conical wire arrays with different opening angles are used as load of a 400kA, 1kA/ns generator. The differences in opening angle allow the study of the influence of the array geometry on the jet properties. The characterization of the jets…
Travelling wave in a helical wave guide is considered for electron acceleration. A first determination of the travelling wave modes using a partial wave expansion (PWE) and a point matching method is presented. It gives a rapid solution for…

We study the phase diagram of a system of spherical particles interacting in three dimensions through a potential consisting of a strict hard core plus a linear repulsive shoulder at larger distances. The phase diagram (obtained…
We have obtained a contiguous set of long-slit spectra of a shock wave in the Cygnus Loop to investigate its structure, which is far from the morphology predicted by 1D models. Proper motions from Hubble Space Telescope images combined with…
We consider the problem of 2D supersonic flow onto a solid wedge, or equivalently in a concave corner formed by two solid walls. For mild corners, there are two possible steady state solutions, one with a strong and one with a weak shock…
Using both analytic and numerical analyses of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations we theoretically investigate the electric conductivity of a conical channel, which in accordance with recent experiments exhibits a strong non-linear pressure…
The interaction of a shock wave with a localized constriction in a straight conduit is investigated by systematically varying the blockage ratio in the range 0.35-0.75, the normalized constriction length in the range 0.25-2, and the…
