From thin plates to Ahmed bodies: linear and weakly nonlinear stability of rectangular prisms

Edouard Boujo, Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna

We study the stability of laminar wakes past three-dimensional rectangular prisms. The width-to-height ratio is set to W/H = 1.2, while the length-to-height ratio 1/6 < L/H < 3 covers a wide range of geometries from thin plates to elongated Ahmed bodies. F ...

Acoustic dispersive prism

Juan Ramon Mosig, Hervé Lissek, Sami Driss Karkar, Seyyed Hussein Seyyed Esfahlani

The optical dispersive prism is a well-studied element, which allows separating white light into its constituent spectral colors, and stands in nature as water droplets. In analogy to this definition, the acoustic dispersive prism should be an acoustic dev ...

Optical prism for creating multiple views of an image

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Stefan Geissbuehler

Optical prism comprising two external parallel and reflecting surfaces, one internal interface, parallel to said surfaces and acting as light splitter; said prism furthermore comprising an entrance side forming an angle β with respect to said interface and ...

Two-dimensional polymer grating and prism on Bloch surface waves platform

Hans Peter Herzig, Elsie Barakat, Libo Yu, Joab Di Francesco

A one-dimensional photonic crystal sustaining Bloch Surface Waves (BSWs) is used as a platform for two-dimensional integrated optics. The dielectric platform shows low loss, long propagation distance and high surface field enhancement. In order to study th ...

PRISM: Recovery of the primordial spectrum from Planck data

Anaïs Marie Rassat

Aim. The primordial power spectrum describes the initial perturbations that seeded the large-scale structure we observe today. It provides an indirect probe of inflation or other structure-formation mechanisms. In this Letter, we recover the primordial pow ...

Phase-Shift Master-Slave Mechanisms for High Angular-Speed Wedge-Prism Systems

Reymond Clavel, Olivier Chappuis

Laser micro-machining requires high dynamic laser spot trajectory and accuracy to control the laser beam scanning. A well-known technique to scan a laser beam over a specimen is to use a pair of wedge-prisms. However, it is difficult to master-slave the ph ...

Limits and artefacts of reflective imaging goniophotometers for complex solar façade systems

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

The design of systems for solar light collection, modulation and/or distribution requires a thorough knowledge of their optical properties. The angular distribution of the scattered incident light flux, described by the Bidirectional Scattering Distributio ...

Droplet impact and the dynamics of rapidly moving contact lines

John Martin Kolinski

When a~~liquid drop approaches a flat solid surface, the air~~beneath it is compressed,~~flattening the bottom of the drop and~~forcing initial contact to occur in a~~ring-shape, trapping a pocket~~of air in its center as two wetting fronts~~rapidly expand both~~o ...

Rehabilitating patients with left spatial neglect by prism exposure during a visuomotor activity

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

OBJECTIVE: Adaptation to prisms displacing the visual scene rightward is a therapeutic tool for left unilateral spatial neglect (USN). We aimed at comparing the effects of the classic adaptation procedure (repeated pointing toward visual targets, control t ...

Experimental investigation on the connection between flow fluctuations and vorticity dynamics in the near wake of a triangular prism placed vertically on a plane

Giacomo Valerio Iungo

Experiments are carried out to investigate on the connection between flow fluctuations and dynamics of different vorticity structures in the wake of an equilateral triangular prism placed vertically on a plane with its apex edge against the incoming flow. ...
