The marginal stability of MHD modes is discussed in application for high beta multiple mirror experiments planned at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. Flute modes are dangerous in axisymmetric systems with beta beta(cr). A. very low ballooning margin is predicted in multiple mirror with the large number of cells: beta(cr) less than or equal to pi(2) /N-2. For the number of cells N similar or equal to 10: beta(cr) similar or equal to 5%. Results of the calculations are discussed in the context of old and new multiple mirror experiments.

Multiphoton core ionization dynamics of polyatomic molecules
Toffolı, Danıele; Decleva, Piero (IOP Publishing, 2013-07-28)
The two-photon core ionization dynamics of gas-phase methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen have been studied with a recent implementation of the lowest order perturbation theory in the framework of density functional theory and a multicentric basis set expansion of bound and scattering states. Ionization cross sections and angular asymmetry parameters have been calculated for the case of a single radiation beam and for both linear and circular light polarizations in the fixed nuclei approximation. Expected ...
Computational analysis of a solar vortex
Mohiuddin, Abdullah; Uzgören, Eray; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2015-3)
This thesis investigates power generation opportunities by considering computational analysis of an experimental setup which is initially proposed to mimic dust devils in a controlled environment. The concept relies on buoyancy effect over a heated plate surrounded by vertical thin plates or vanes. Once the heated air starts rising, vertical vanes help surrounding air to flow inwards in a direction tangential to the vortex core to introduce swirl to the flow. Present study focuses on the computational fluid...
Investigating the effects of operational parameters on photofermentation in batch and semi-batch reactors and the applications of photofermentation in multi-stage energy systems
Akman, Melih Can; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Environmental Engineering (2018)
The aim of this thesis study was to investigate the effects of operational parameters on photofermentation in batch and semi-batch reactors, and the application of photofermentation in multi-stage energy systems. Firstly, three operational conditions of the substrate concentration, Volatile Suspended Solids (VSS) concentration and the light intensity leading to the maximization of hydrogen production in a single stage were optimized. The highest hydrogen production rate (HPR) of 1.04 mmol H2/L.h was achieve...
Numerical simulation of solidification kinetics in A356/SiCp composites for assessment of as-cast particle distribution
CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01)
The present work is aimed at studying the effect of solidification rate on reinforcement clustering in particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs) through numerical simulations and experimental studies. A macrotransport-solidification kinetics (MTSK) model was used to simulate the solidification kinetics of the PMMCs. The experimental validation of the numerical model was achieved through the Newtonian and Fourier thermal analysis methods. Results reveal that the MTSK model can be successfully used ...
RPA instabilities in finite nuclei at low density
Jacquot, B; Colonna, M; Ayik, S; Chomaz, P (Elsevier BV, 1997-05-12)
Early development of the instabilities in a dilute nuclear source is investigated using a finite temperature quantal RPA approach for different systems, The growth rates of the unstable collective modes are determined by solving a dispersion relation, which is obtained by parametrizing the transition density in terms of its multipole moments. Under typical conditions of a dilute finite system at moderate temperatures the dispersion relation exhibits an ultraviolet cut-off. As a result, only a finite number ...
