The influence of confinement onto the inviscid and incompressible linear stability of the family of wakes introduced by Monkewitz [Phys. Fluids 31, 999 (1988)] is examined. The nondimensional parameters of the model, the velocity ratio Λ, defined as ratio ...
Reductive biostimulation is currently being explored as a possible remediation strategy for U-contaminated groundwater, and is being investigated at a field site in Rifle, CO, USA. The long-term stability of the resulting U(IV) phases is a key component of ...
Sheared toroidal rotation is found to increase the ideal external kink stability limit, thought to be the ultimate performance limit in fusion tokamaks. However, at rotation speeds approaching a significant fraction of the Alfv´en speed, the toroidal rotat ...
Event-based control is an alternative to traditional control where new measurements are sampled only if critical events occur. This not only allows to reduce the control effort but it satisfies nowadays application requirements, such for example reduction ...
In this thesis, the transverse and longitudinal beam properties of the PHIN photoinjector are characterized. The objective of the research is to demonstrate the reliable and stable production of a 1.3 µs long bunch train, with 2.33 nC charge per bunch and ...
We use ab initio density functional calculations to investigate the structural stability and vibrational spectra of small boron aggregates in different charge states. In search of candidates for the largest stable 2D boron aggregates, we focus on systems w ...
This paper reports the results of recent experiments performed on the JET tokamak on Alfven eigenmodes (AEs) with toroidal mode number (n) in the range n=3—15. The stability properties of these medium-n AEs are investigated experimentally using a new set o ...

We prove nonlinear stability of the fundamental self-similar solution of the wave equation with a focusing power nonlinearity tt-=p for [image omitted] in the radial case. The proof is based on a semigroup formulation of the wave equation in similarity coo ...
We present a rigorous functional analytic setting to study the radial wave equation in similarity coordinates. As an application we analyze linear stability of the fundamental self-similar solution of the wave equation with a focusing power nonlinearity. T ...
