  • The lag–luminosity correlation in time-resolved episodes of long gamma-ray bursts

    Creator:
    Kowash, Samuel J.
    Abstract:
    We present an analysis of the relationship between spectral lag and luminosity in time-resolved segments of long gamma-ray bursts detected by BATSE, an experiment aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory satellite. For full bursts, there is a well-established correlation between the lag, which is easily computed, and the total burst...

  • Seasonal and Solar Cycle Variations in High-Probability Reconnection Regions on the Dayside Magnetopause

    Creator:
    Griffiths, Scott T.
    Abstract:
    Future satellite missions like NASA’s upcoming Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission are targeting reconnection diffusion regions at the Earth’s magnetopause. These diffusion regions are small compared to the total surface area of the magnetopause. Furthermore, the location of the diffusion region depends on external parameters such as the current state of...

  • Boundary layer transition

    Creator:
    Bakhshi, Vidya Sagar
    Abstract:
    Transition phenomena commonly occur in nature. These arise either due to structural or behavioral changes in the medium. Examples for these abound in all applied sciences and to mention a few of these, we have, boundary layer, elastic-plastic deformation, and shocks. The present work is devoted to the study of...

  • Virtual Element Methods for Magnetohydrodynamics on General Polygonal and Polyhedral Meshes

    Creator:
    Naranjo, Sebastián
    Abstract:
    The aim of this dissertation is to construct a virtual element method (VEM) for models in magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), an area that studies the behavior and properties of electrically conducting fluids such as a plasma. MHD models are a coupling of the Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetics and models for fluid flow....
