This paper presents a non-isotropic turbulence modeling of flows over bedforms. The Reynolds stress model is used for the turbulence closure. In the model, Launder, Reece, and Rodi's model and Hanjalic and Launder's model are employed f3r the pressure strain correlation term and the diffusion term, respectively. The mean flow and turbulence structures are simulated and compared with profiles measured in the experiments. The numerical solutions from two-equation turbulence models are also provided for comparisons. The Reynolds stress model yields the separation length of eddy similar to the other numerical results. Using the developed model, the resistance coefficients are also estimated for the flows at different Froude numbers. Karim's (1999) relationship is used to determine the bedform geometry. It is found that the values of the form drag and the skin friction are very similar to those obtained by the other turbulence models. meaning higher values of the form drag and lower values of the skin friction compared with the empirical formulas.

This study evaluates the permeability of cement-based composites, which are a mix of polyolefin fibers and silica fume. Test results indicate that permeability increases as the water/cementitious ratio increases. Silica fume in cement-based composites produced hydrated calcium silicate and filled the pores. However, permeability decreased as the addition of silica fume increased. Specimens containing polyolefin fibers also provided higher permeability resistance. The polyolefin fiber length did not have a significant effect on permeability. The decrease in the permeability is mainly due to the addition of silica fume and lower water/cementitious ratio. Addition of fibers marginally decreases the permeability. Incorporating polyolefin fiber and silica fume in composites achieved more significant decreases in permeability. The correlated test results reveal the interrelationship between them.

A mathematical model is developed for a batch reactor in which the free radical bulk copolymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile takes place. In this model, we introduce the free volume theory to quantify the diffusion controlled termination and propagation reactions, and develop a model for the chain length dependent termination reaction in the context of the pseudo kinetic rate constant method(PKRCM). The simulation results from this model are found to be in good agreement with experimental data under different copolymerization conditions. The present model can predict both the copolymer composition and the number and weight average molecular weights. These kinetic approaches provide greater insight into the performance of the batch reactor used for the free radical bulk copolymerization of styrene and acrylonitirle.

In order to realize full color display, two approaches were used. The first method is the patterning of red, green, and blue emitters using a selective deposition. Another approach is based on a white-emitting diode, from which the three primary colors could be obtained by micro-patterned color filters. White-light-emitting organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are attracting much attention recently due to potential applications such as backlights in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) or other illumination purposes. In order for the white OLEDs to be used as backlights in LCDs, the light emission should be bright and have Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). For obtaining white emission from OLEDs, different colours should be mixed with proper balances even though there are a few different methods for mixing colors. In this study, we will report a white organic electroluminescent device using exciton diffusion length concept.

Since the first report on long-term durable perovskite solar cell in 2012, a surge of interest in perovskite solar cell has been received due to its superb photovoltaic performance exceeding 20%. $MAPbI_3$ ($MA=CH_3NH_3$) perovskite film is able to be prepared simply by solution processesof either sequential two-step or single step procedure. Since $MAPbI_3$ shows balanced charge transport property with micrometer scale charge diffusion length, it can be applied to any kind of junction structures. Mostly studied structure is mesoscopic structure employing mesoporous oxide layer in perovskite film. Photovoltaic performance is primarilyin fluenced by the quality of perovskite film but interfaces are equally important. In this mini review, emergence and evolution of perovskite solar cell are described.

As technology advances with development of new materials, it is important to measure the thermal diffusivity of material and to predict the heat transfer in the solid subject to thermal processes. The measurement of thermal properties can be done in a non-contact way using photothermal displacement spectroscopy. In this work, the thermal diffusivity was measured by analyzing the magnitude and phase of deformation gradient. We proposed a new data analysis method based on the real part of deformation gradient as the pump-probe offset value. As the result, compared with the literature value, the measured thermal diffusivities of materials showed about 3 % error.

In this work was produced and analyzed a z-cut Ti:LiNbO$_{3}$ optical waveguide which applies for various optical devices.A waveguide channel with a thickness 8 .mu.m and a length 66,000.mu.m and a mach-zehnder interferometer type waveguide were fabricated at a diffusion temperature 1050.deg. C for 6-8hours in a wet $O_{2}$ environment. The resulting Ti:LiNbO$_{3}$ optical waveguide was measured to have a Ti-strip thickness of 950.angs. and low loss. Surfaces and cross-sections of a fabricated waveguide were analysed. The mode pattern anaysis revealed that the waveguide showed a single mode at a 1550nm wavelength. The effective dimension of the waveguide was calculated by measuring a gaussian profile; Wx=10.95.mu. and Wy=9.14.mu.m. a propagation loss, of 0.50dB/cm for a TM mode and 0.45dB/cm for a TE mode, was low enough to be accepatable for optical devices.

The mobility and diffusivity in an edge dislocation in an FCC crystal formed by the removal of one half of a (100) plane were evaluated in an applied field by analyzing a vacancy tight binding model using Stark's matrix technique. A model of an edge dislocation in an FCC crystal was constructed for a [100] Burgers vector where vacancy transport along the edge dislocation in an FCC crystal was constructed for a [100] Burgers vector where vacancy transport along the edge of the extrac half plane of ions was considered. The model considered a tight binding approximation of the vacancy to the compressed region of the core and carried the calculation to the limit of an infinite length of dislocation. The diffusivity and the ratio of mobility to diffusivity were found to increase without bounds in the limit where the correlation factor becomes zero. In contrast, as the correlation factor became unity, the diffusivity became zero and the ratio of mobility to diffusivity became unity associated with the uncorrelated limit of 1/kT. This implied that the phenomenon was not unique to the crystal structure but was unique to edge dislocations with vacancy tight binding.

A complete theoretical treatment of the photothermal displacement technique has been performed for thermal diffusivity measurement in semi-infinite solid materials. The influence of the parameters, such as radius and modulation frequency of the heating beam and the thermal diffusivity, was studied. Usually, thermal diffusivity was determined by the deformation angle and phase angle as the relative position between the heating and probe beams. In this study, we proposed the simple analysis method based on the real part of deformation gradient as the relative position between two beams. It is independent in the parameters such as power of heating beam, absorption coefficient, reflectivity, Poisson's ratio, and thermal expansion coefficient.

A complete theoretical treatment of the photothermal displacement technique has been performed for thermal diffusivity measurement in solid materials. The influence of parameters - radius and modulation frequency of pump beam and thickness of material - on the phase lag was studied. The phase decreases up to a certain position, then starts to increase and does have an asymptotic value. The position, where phase has the minimum value, is a function of thermal diffusion length thickness of sample, and radius of pump beam. A new method based on minimum phase lag is described to determine the thermal diffusivity of solid material.
