The dynamic processes by which the local magnetization relaxes or switches in response to changes in the applied field are unconventional and virtually unexplored. Periodic magnetic arrays not only provide excellent opportunities for new science but also constitute a promising candidate for new applications such as high-density, patterned magnetic memory for advanced computer designs in the next decade. Dr. Vitali Metlushko's research is concentrated on the interplay between the structure, magnetic and electric properties of low dimensional condensed matter, with emphasis on the collective behavior of nanostructured magnetic and composite materials. He received his Ph.D. from the Moscow State University in 1990. His advisor was Professor Victor Moshchalkov.
Infrared radiation is the primary mode of heat transfer in boilers and large furnaces.
Fires propagate to flammable material surrounding them by heating the material to pyrolyze it and then to ignition temperatures. Burning rates of pool fires are determined by the amount of heat feedback to the fuel surface. These results will be summarized before introducing the topic of turbulent premixed flame radiation. The first study of radiation properties of turbulent premixed flames will be described. This problem may not have been studied in the past because the radiation intensities from premixed flames are much lower than those from the non-premixed flames.
