Abstract

Stefan problems, or free boundary problems, in the phase change process occur in many engineering problems. This paper develops a compact formula for a two-phase melting process in a one-dimensional semi-infinite slab with a novel approach. Unlike the classic Stefan problem, the novel approach considers volume change (or density difference) and the net-sensible-heat of the two phases. Furthermore, an analytical solution is proposed. To illustrate, the melting process of ice-water in a pipe is investigated. The results have been validated through an exact solution and comparisons with other relevant models. A special case of a one-phase problem is also proposed. The proposed model can be used as an alternative tool for engineers in estimating the position of the melt-front, depending on the dominant effect on the phase change process.

Abstract

The interfacial transition zone (ITZ) is the weakest phase in concrete, characterised by higher porosity and being prone to microcrack formation. Additionally, the ITZ is created when dispersed fibre reinforcement is present. Although fibres improve flexural strength, they can negatively impact other properties. This research investigates the ITZ of fibre-reinforced concrete where macro-basalt fibres (BFs) and oil shale ash (OSA), as an SCM, were used with the aim of modifying the properties of concrete, enhancing the ITZ, and reducing its carbon footprint. Six different concrete mixes with OSA doses between 10% and 30% and a constant BF dose of 8.0 kg per 1 m3 of concrete were prepared and tested. The ITZ was analysed with SEM images and verified through its mechanical properties. The results showed that the presence of OSA improved bonding and densified the microstructure of the paste, especially in the ITZ, resulting in a nearly constant flexural strength at up to a 20% replacement and only a 6.7% decrease in compressive strength while reducing the global warming potential by 19.24 kg CO2 equivalent in the mix with 10% OSA replacement. Higher replacement ratios had a negative impact on the mechanical properties, as the OSA had not reacted entirely and served partly as an inert filler.

Abstract

Hazard assessment of remote volcanic islands provides many challenges compared to other volcanoes and volcanic fields. Here we present the first systematic volcanic hazard assessment of Jan Mayen Island, a remote island located in the North-Atlantic Ocean and home to the northernmost active subaerial volcano in the world (Beerenberg Volcano), and we discuss some of the challenges and characteristics of performing a volcanic hazard assessment of a remote volcanic island. Jan Mayen has had at least five eruptions since its discovery at the start of the 17th century. Its Holocene volcanism is mainly characterized by eruptions with styles ranging from Hawaiian to Strombolian, but also by lava domes and Surtseyan eruptions. Based on field data, remote images, topographic data, past data, and computer simulations, our study evaluates the spatial probability of new vents opening, estimates eruption recurrence rates, simulates various eruption scenarios, and produces hazard maps for the different scenarios. This work shows where the hazards of ash fall, and lava flows are more likely to affect the built infrastructure on Jan Mayen Island. This hazard assessment will assist emergency planning and the determination of future land use on the island.

Abstract

Alternative to traditional concrete, sustainable concrete reduces cement content, waste management issues, and CO2 emissions. To achieve sustainable concrete, waste materials can be used as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to partially replace cement. Fly ash, ground-granulated blast furnace slag, and silica fume have been heavily studied as SCMs. However, due to the retirement of coal-fired power plants and switching to renewable energy, existing SCMs are losing their dominance. With SCMs becoming more widely accepted as partial cement substitutes, there is fear that the current supply will not meet future demand. As a result, researchers have been looking for alternative SCMs. The circular economy can be achieved by reusing non-hazardous construction and demolition materials, timber, and metal/steel production waste as SCMs. This article discusses emerging SCMs, reactivity evaluation methods, their limitations, and treatment methods that may improve reactivity. Emerging SCMs can replace existing SCMs in quantity, but their supply to cement factories and low reactivity due to stable crystallinity hinders their use. Among treatment methods, particle size reduction effectively enhances reactivity; however, very fine SCM may increase the overall water demand due to the large surface area. Decades-old reactivity evaluation methods have relatively weak correlations and thus misreport the reactivity of SCMs. Newer R3 models, such as calorimetry and bound water, give the best correlations (R ≥ 0.85) for 28-day relative strength and better performance. Additionally, more concrete testing with emerging SCMs under different durability and environmental protection conditions is required and life cycle assessments are needed to determine their regional environmental impact.

5. Artificial Thawing of Frozen Ground: A Review

Abstract

Understanding the freezing and thawing processes in porous media such as soils is important, especially in regions experiencing seasonal frost or permafrost. These processes have a wide range of implications as diverse as how to maintain the structural integrity of roads, railways, pipelines, and buildings, to when to plant seeds during the growth season. Thawing of frozen ground is the opposite process of ground freezing but has not received nearly as much attention as the latter in research studies or field experiments. Accurately predicting thaw depth or thaw rate is a challenging task. Many mathematical models have been proposed to describe the thawing process, with different perspectives and complexity. This paper provides an overview of historical modeling efforts made for predicting heat and mass transfer during thawing. Assumptions and premises for each model are discussed, as well as limitations and some applications. In addition, this paper reviews historical and modern approaches to thawing of frozen ground in cold regions, lists pros and cons of each method, and gives examples of applications. The review shows the need for further research and more accurate models, specifically for predicting thaw depth and thaw rates in frozen ground subjected to artificial thawing.

Abstract

The Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter (WALOP)-South instrument is an upcoming wide-field and high-accuracy optical polarimeter to be used as a survey instrument for carrying out the Polar-Areas Stellar Imaging in Polarization High Accuracy Experiment (PASIPHAE) program. Designed to operate as a one-shot four-channel and four-camera imaging polarimeter, it will have a field of view of $35\times 35$ arcminutes and will measure the Stokes parameters $I$, $q$, and $u$ in a single exposure in the SDSS-r broadband filter. The design goal for the instrument is to achieve an overall polarimetric measurement accuracy of 0.1 % over the entire field of view. We present here the complete polarimetric modeling of the instrument, characterizing the amount and sources of instrumental polarization. To accurately retrieve the real Stokes parameters of a source from the measured values, we have developed a calibration method for the instrument. Using this calibration method and simulated data, we demonstrate how to correct instrumental polarization and obtain 0.1 % accuracy in the degree of polarization, $p$. Additionally, we tested and validated the calibration method by implementing it on a table-top WALOP-like test-bed polarimeter in the laboratory., 34 pages, 24 figures.

Abstract

Two unique wide-field and high-accuracy polarimeters named WALOP (Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter)- North and WALOP-South are currently under development at the Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), India, to create a large area optical polarization map of the sky for the upcoming PASIPHAE sky survey. These instruments are designed to achieve a linear polarimetric measurement accuracy of 0.1% across a field of view (FoV) of 30×30 arcminutes. The WALOP-South instrument will be installed first on a 1 m telescope at the Sutherland Observatory, where the temperatures during the night can vary between 10 to -5°C. These temperature variations and the instrument’s pointing to various non-zenithal positions in the sky can introduce stress birefringence in the lenses, leading to time-varying instrumental polarization. This work estimates stress-induced birefringence due to thermal, and gravity stresses on WALOP-South lenses. Using the optomechanical model of the WALOP-South, we carried out Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations in SolidWorks software to estimate the stresses for various scenarios of temperature, telescope pointing airmass, and lens mount material (aluminum and titanium). Further, we use the stress tensor analysis to estimate the principal stresses and their directions and consequent birefringence and retardance introduced in the lenses. The stressinduced birefringence will change the optical path length for orthogonal polarization states of the beam passing through the lenses and introduce phase retardation. Overall, with the lens mount design of the instrument, we find that the retardation and consequent instrumental polarization will be within the instrumental accuracy requirements. Additionally, the stress birefringence is found to be higher for aluminum compared to titanium mounts. We further incorporated this retardance in the instrument Mueller matrix estimation to understand its effects on the polarization measurements.

Abstract

Event: SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2020, Online.-- et al., LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led Strategic Large-Class mission designed to search for the existence of the primordial gravitational waves produced during the inflationary phase of the Universe, through the measurements of their imprint onto the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). These measurements, requiring unprecedented sensitivity, will be performed over the full sky, at large angular scales, and over 15 frequency bands from 34 GHz to 448 GHz. The LiteBIRD instruments consist of three telescopes, namely the Low-, Medium-and High-Frequency Telescope (respectively LFT, MFT and HFT). We present in this paper an overview of the design of the Medium-Frequency Telescope (89{224 GHz) and the High-Frequency Telescope (166{448 GHz), the so-called MHFT, under European responsibility, which are two cryogenic refractive telescopes cooled down to 5 K. They include a continuous rotating half-wave plate as the first optical element, two high-density polyethylene (HDPE) lenses and more than three thousand transition-edge sensor (TES) detectors cooled to 100 mK. We provide an overview of the concept design and the remaining specific challenges that we have to face in order to achieve the scientific goals of LiteBIRD., This work is supported in Japan by ISAS/JAXA for Pre-Phase A2 studies, by the acceleration program of JAXA research and development directorate, by the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) of MEXT, by the JSPS Core-to-Core Program of A.

Abstract

Event: SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2020, Online.-- et al., LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission for primordial cosmology and fundamental physics. JAXA selected LiteBIRD in May 2019 as a strategic large-class (L-class) mission, with its expected launch in the late 2020s using JAXA’s H3 rocket. LiteBIRD plans to map the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization over the full sky with unprecedented precision. Its main scientific objective is to carry out a definitive search for the signal from cosmic inflation, either making a discovery or ruling out well-motivated inflationary models. The measurements of LiteBIRD will also provide us with an insight into the quantum nature of gravity and other new physics beyond the standard models of particle physics and cosmology. To this end, LiteBIRD will perform full-sky surveys for three years at the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2 for 15 frequency bands between 34 and 448 GHz with three telescopes, to achieve a total sensitivity of 2.16 µK-arcmin with a typical angular resolution of 0.5◦ at 100 GHz. We provide an overview of the LiteBIRD project, including scientific objectives, mission requirements, top-level system requirements, operation concept, and expected scientific outcomes., This work is supported in Japan by ISAS/JAXA for Pre-Phase A2 studies, by the acceleration program of JAXA research and development directorate, by the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) of MEXT, by the JSPS Core-to-Core Program of A.

Abstract

The island of Jan Mayen in the North Atlantic Ocean is home to the world’s northernmost active subaerial volcano, Beerenberg. Of the five known historical eruptions on the island, the locations of two eruptions (1732 and 1818) have not been accurately located. It is known that the 1732 and 1818 eruptions occurred on the south flank of Beerenberg, and several eruption sites have been proposed for these events. Here we show that the tuff cone of Eggoya on the SW flank of Beerenberg was the site of the 1732 eruption, based on interpretation of the deposits, field relations and historical sources. We further describe the deposits from the eruption and show that Eggoya is the largest explosive eruption described from Jan Mayen, emplacing at least at least 0.3–0.4 km3 (VEI 4) of basanitic tephra up to distances of at least 111 km from Jan Mayen and covering a minimum area of around 500 km2 within the 2-cm isopach. We also present our eruption scenario and show that this was an emergent Surtseyan eruption with activity shifting between tephra jetting, continuous uprush and more magmatic phases.
