Using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) and higher order spectral analysis, we present the first measurements of phase space resolved coherent nonlinear interactions among the components of low frequency density fluctuations, (omega <=omega(ci)), in a linearly magnetized device. The bicoherence calculations employing the two point correlation technique suggest that there are two different coherent nonlinear wave-wave interactions in the measured spectrum. The first one, having a short correlation length and existing for slow moving ions, for which parallel to upsilon(i parallel to)parallel to <=parallel to upsilon(ith)parallel to, is an interaction between fluctuations below the electron drift frequency, omega(*). The second one is the strongest for fast moving ions, for which parallel to upsilon(i parallel to)parallel to >=parallel to upsilon(ith)parallel to, and is a mode coupling between the azimuthal drift wave modes, m=1 and m=2. Combining these bispectral results with earlier linear analysis based on the power spectra of the fluctuations, we suggest that the nonlinear coupling observed between the spectral components below omega(*) for the case of slow moving ions is associated with the anomalous kinetic component. For slow moving ions, as we increase the neutral collision frequencies, the nonlinear interaction observed for spectral components below omega(*) decreases and the harmonic mode coupling for omega(*) takes over.

Numerical analysis of radio frequency inductively coupled ion thruster and computation of its performance parameters Bozkurt, Erdal; Alemdaroğlu, Nafiz.; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) The main goal of this thesis is geometric and parametric analysis of a simulated cylin-drical two-gridded Radio Frequency Inductively Coupled (RF-ICP) ion thruster. Inaddition, instrumental performance of this thruster and the effects of a fixed shapeof the electrodes on ion trajectories are investigated. The simulations of the plasmaand the ion optics are performed by using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The firststep is checking the reliability of the software. Radial and axial simulation parametricresults...
Measurement of vector boson scattering and constraints on anomalous quartic couplings from events with four leptons and two jets in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2017-11-01) A measurement of vector boson scattering and constraints on anomalous quartic gauge couplings from events with two Z bosons and two jets are presented. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The search is performed in the fully leptonic final state ZZ -> lll'l', where l, l' = e or mu. The electroweak production of two Z bosons in association with two jets is measured w...
ANALYSIS OF MILLIMETER WAVE-GUIDES ON ANISOTROPIC SUBSTRATES USING THE 3-DIMENSIONAL TRANSMISSION-LINE MATRIX-METHOD BULUTAY, C; PRASAD, S (1993-06-01) Three-dimensional condensed asymmetrical node, variable grid, transmission-line matrix (TLM) method has been used in analyzing several millimeter waveguides on anisotropic substrates. The dispersion characteristics of image guides together with field and energy confinement properties at millimeter-wave frequencies have been investigated. Edge coupled microstrip line on a uniaxial substrate is analyzed for the even and odd mode dispersion characteristics. Finally the same analysis is repeated for bilateral f...
Investigation of rough surface scattering of electromagnetic waves using finite element method Aşırım, Özüm Emre; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Özgün, Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) This thesis analyzes the problem of electromagnetic wave scattering from rough surfaces using finite element method. Concepts like mesh generation and random rough surface generation will be discussed firstly. Then the fundamental concepts of the finite element method which are the functional form of a given partial differential equation, implementation of the element coefficient matrices, and the assemblage of elements will be discussed in detail. The rough surface and the overall mesh geometry will be imp...
A new differential formulation of acoustic scattering by rotationally symmetrical penetrable scatterers Günalp, Nilgün; TOSUN, H (1994-07-01) A new differential formulation is presented for acoustic wave scattering from rotationally symmetric penetrable bodies. The numerical implementation of this formulation is fairly simple, and comprises basically the construction of the state-transition matrix of a system of differential equations and the solution of a matrix equation. The validity and the accuracy of the numerical scheme are tested considering objects of known scattering behavior. Other numerical applications are also presented to demonstrat...
