Numerical Investigation of Contact Burning in an Air-Breathing Continuous Rotating Detonation Engine by Dapeng Xiong, Mingbo Sun, Haoyang Peng, Yanan Wang, Yixin Yang, Hongbo Wang, Jiangfei Yu, Zhenguo Wang

“…Three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations of a continuous rotating detonation engine are carried out with an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver. The second-order upwind advection upstream splitting method and second-order Runge-Kutta method are used to discretize space and time terms, and detailed 9-species 19-step hydrogen-oxygen reactions are applied in this study. …”

Influence of injection angles on flow structures and mixing properties in a supersonic combustor at low Mach supersonic crossflow by Lin Zhang, Jianhan Liang, Yi Wang, Wei Zhao, Leichao Yang

“…Furthermore, the counter-rotating vortex pairs (CVP) are constricted by the inclination of the injection, giving rise to a decrease in jet-cavity interaction. Although inclined injection exhibits favorable performance in backpressure resistance at low Mach supersonic crossflow, it presents a greater challenge in terms of ignition, thus necessitating meticulous design considerations.…”

Hemoptysis due to Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation after Coil Embolization during Long-Term Follow-Up by Masashi Shimohira, Kenji Iwata, Kengo Ohta, Yusuke Sawada, Takeshi Hashimoto, Katsuhiro Okuda, Ryoichi Nakanishi, Yuta Shibamoto

“…A 28-year-old man with a history of coil embolization of multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations presented with hemoptysis 11 years after initial embolization. A cavity lesion in the left upper lobe, which was accompanied by deformed coils and ground-glass opacity, was considered responsible for hemoptysis. …”

Absorption loss and Kerr nonlinearity in barium titanate waveguides by Annina Riedhauser, Charles Möhl, Johannes Schading, Daniele Caimi, David I. Indolese, Thomas M. Karg, Paul Seidler

“…Material absorption sets a lower limit to optical loss and is thus a crucial property to determine, particularly for integrated photonic devices. Using cavity-enhanced photothermal spectroscopy, we measure the absorption loss of BaTiO3 ridge waveguides at wavelengths near 1550 nm to be αabs = 10.9−0.4+5.8 dB m−1, well below the propagation losses due to other sources, such as scattering. …”
