Finite- time scaling and leading corrections to the scaling are considered. We also show that the instability exponents of the first-order phase transitions are equivalent to those of the Yang-Lee edge singularity, and employ the latter to improve our estimates of the former. The outcomes agree well with existing numerical results.展开更多

These transitions are found to exhibit rich phenomena, though they are controlled by a single complex-conjugate pair of imaginary fixed points of φ3 theory. Scaling theories and renormalization group theories are developed to account for the phenomena, and three universality classes with their own hysteresis exponents are found： a field-like thermal class, a partly thermal class, and a purely thermal class, designated, respectively, as Thermal Classes I, II, and III. The first two classes arise from the opposite limits of the scaling forms proposed and may cross over to each other depending on the temperature sweep rate. They are both described by a massless model and a purely massive model, both of which are equivalent and are derived from φ3 theory via symmetry. Thermal Class III characterizes the cooling transitions in the absence of applied external fields and is described by purely thermal models, which include cases in which the order parameters possess different symmetries and thus exhibit different universality classes. For the purely thermal models whose free energies contain odd-symmetry terms, Thermal Class III emerges only at the mean-field level and is identical to Thermal Class II. Fluctuations change the model into the other two models. Using the extant three- and two- loop results for the static and dynamic exponents for the Yang-Lee edge singularity, respectively, which falls into the same universality class as φ3 theory, we estimate the thermal hysteresis exponents of the various classes to the same precision. Comparisons with numerical results and experiments are briefly discussed.展开更多

We focus our attention to the perturbation on initial binding energy. The solutions are obtained constructively under the entropy conditions. It can be found that the solutions are essentially different from the corresponding Riemann solutions for some cases. Especially, two important phenomena are observed： the transition from detonation to deflagration followed by a shock, which appears in the numerical simulations [7, 27]; the transition from deflagration to detonation （DDT）, which is one of the core problems in gas dynamic combustion.展开更多

Different from the original problem, the prescribed random velocity field is non-Gaussian and σ correlated in time, and its introduction is inspired by She and Levveque （Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 336 （1994））. For comparison, we also give the passive scalar advected by the Gaussian random velocity field. The anomalous scaling exponents H（p） of passive scalar advected by these two kinds of random velocities above are determined for structure function with values of p up to 15 by Monte Carlo simulations of the random shell model, with Gear methods used to solve the stochastic differential equations. We find that the H（p） advected by the non-Gaussian random velocity is not more anomalous than that advected by the Gaussian random velocity. Whether the advecting velocity is non-Gaussian or Gaussian, similar scaling exponents of passive scalar are obtained with the same molecular diffusivity.展开更多

The improved scheme equals to embed hiding data based on an actual image. In order to withstand amplitude scaling attack, the Watson perceptual model was redefined, and the improved scheme using the new definition can insure quantization step size in decoder that is proportional to amplitude scaling attack factor. The performance of the improved scheme outperforms that of SCS with fixed quantization step size. The improved scheme combines information theory and visual model.展开更多

If the scalar field says for an inflaton, as presented by Padmanabhan only depends upon time, of course, this means that no scalar field contributing to a fifth force our proposal in the neighborhood of Planck time is to turn the time into being equal to r/[constant times c]. This is in the neighborhood of Planck time. Then having done that, consider the initially Plank regime inflaton field as being spatially varying and from there apply a fifth force as a way to help initiate black hole production and possibly Gravitons.展开更多

With numerical simulations on the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada （GOY） shell model, we show that the correlation function decays exponentially. The advecting velocity field is regarded as a colored noise field, which is spatially and temporally correlative. For comparison, we are also given the scaling exponents of passive scalars obtained by the Gaussian random velocity field, the multi-dimensional normal velocity field and the She-Leveque velocity field, introduced by She, et al. We observe that extended self-similarity sealing exponents H（p）/H（2） of passive scalar obtained by the colored noise field are more anomalous than those obtained by the other three velocity fields.展开更多

A backward Lagrangian stochastic （LS） dispersion model and a large eddy simulation （LES） model are used in the investigation. Typical characteristics of the CBL and their responses to the surface heterogeneity are resolved from the LES. Then the turbulence fields are used to drive the backward LS dispersion. To remedy the spoiled description of the turbulence near the surface, MoninObukhov similarity is applied to the lowest LES level and the surface for the modeling of the backward LS dispersion. Simulation results show that the footprint within approximately 1 km upwind predominates in the total contribution. But influence from farther distances also exists and is even slightly greater than that from closer locations. Surface heterogeneity may change the footprint pattern to a certain degree. A comparison to three analytical models provides a validation of the footprint simulations, which shows the possible influence of along-wind turbulence and the large eddies in the CBL, as well as the surface heterogeneity.展开更多
