One-to-one relationship between low latitude whistlers and conjugate source lightning discharges and their propagation characteristics

One-to-one relation with its causative lightning discharges and propagation features of night-time whistlers recorded at low-latitude station, Allahabad (geomag. lat. 16.05°N, L = 1.08), India, from continuous observations made during 1–7 April, 2011 have been studied. The whistler observations were made using the Automatic Whistler Detector (AWD) system and AWESOME VLF receiver. The causative lightning strikes of whistlers were checked in data provided by World-Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN). A total of 32 whistlers were observed out of which 23 were correlated with their causative lightnings in and around the conjugate location (geom. lat. 9.87°S) of Allahabad. A multi-flash whistler is also observed on 1 April with dispersions 15.3, 17.5 and 13.6 s^1/2. About 70% (23 out of 32) whistlers were correlated with the WWLLN detected causative lightnings in the conjugate region which supports the ducted mode of propagation at low latitude. The multi-flash and short whistlers also propagated most likely in the ducted mode to this station.     

有限边界对激光弯曲温度场的影响

通过激光点光源辐照板条表面温度场的试验和数值模拟,探讨了激光弯曲成形技术中板条内部热传导的规律,试验表明材料边界与周围环境之间的传热和其对内部材料的热传导对激光辐照下的板条表面温度场的影响显著,并可能导致材料在激光辐照下的热传导规律与经典的傅里叶热传导定律不相符合.通过将试验结果和现有理论的比较,建立了符合实际情况的有限元数值模型,进而分析了激光加工工艺参数对其温度变化的影响.
