Thermal radiation plays an important role in combustion systems due to its significant effect on the energy evolution. Radiation modeling in combustion simulations needs expensive computational resources due to high complexity of the radiative transfer equation and highly variations of the spectral radiative properties. Traditional numerical methods for the radiation modeling have many simplified and approximated models, but they are still suffering from the irreconcilable conflict between the accuracy and efficiency. This work investigates the capability of machine learning for predicting radiative heat transfer in combustion scenarios. Two machine learning models, UNet model and Fourier network operator (FNO) model are designed to learn radiative heat transfer directly from the temperature and concentrations fields. Their performances are tested for a turbulent diffusion flame. Results show that both UNet and FNO performs well for emulating the radiative heat source for the considered flame, with relative errors generally smaller than 0.3 %. The two models have similar accuracies. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using UNet and FNO models as surrogate model for non-gray gas radiative heat transfer in combustion system, but they need further investigations for more complex combustion scenarios.

In the present work, we measured the O2-broadening coefficients of the absorption lines in the ν2 and ν5 bands of methyl bromide at room temperature (T = 295 K) using a high-resolution Fourier Transform spectrometer. Eight spectra were recorded at pressures ranging from 2.0 to 6.5 Torr for the active gas and from 3 to 90 Torr for the perturber gas. The line shape parameters were obtained by fitting Voigt and Galatry profiles to the measured line shapes, allowing the determination of the O2-broadening coefficients for the branches over the 1250 – 1622 cm-1 wavenumbers range. This range covers 1451 measured transitions with 2 ≤ J ≤ 54 and 0 ≤ K ≤ 10. These data, combined with previously measured N2-broadening coefficients, were used to determine the air-broadening coefficients of the ν2 and ν5 bands. Finally, an empirical model was used to fit the broadening coefficients of the two bands. On average, the empirical expression reproduces successfully the measured broadening coefficients.

Considering scattering in radiative transfer calculations often leads to extensively long computation times that can be prohibitive, especially in the operational context of satellite missions. Over time, numerous methods were developed to accelerate scattering calculations. In this paper, based and further built upon the work of O’Dell [1], we describe the implementation of the Low-Stream Interpolation acceleration technique in the 4A/OP radiative transfer model. The method’s acceleration relies on the execution of computationally expensive calculations only for representative points, which represent the regions in the gas absorption optical depth space called “bins”. For all other points the calculation is performed at a low accuracy and by subsequent interpolation. We have considered a number of method’s aspects, and introduced various modifications in order to optimise its accuracy and computation time. This includes: a) an extension of the method to Jacobians, b) modifications of bin and sub-bin divisions, c) implementation of automatic binning and its comparison to fixed bins, d) improvement of the computation of representative points, e) improvement of the definition of “significant scattering” used by the method, f) avoiding the redundancy of high-accuracy computation at large gas absorption optical depths, g) optimisations of the method computation domain size and h) evaluations of various possible accelerations of low-accuracy calculations. We applied the method on the MicroCarb O2 and CO2 bands in near-infrared and shortwave-infrared over a large variety of geophysical cases and discussed the impacts of the modifications and the overall performance. We confirmed that the Low-Stream Interpolation is a powerful technique to accelerate the scattering calculations and, in our model, it provided relative accuracies on polarised and unpolarised radiances and Jacobians lower than 0.05 % with acceleration of 10–50 times.

In this study, we explored the spectral characteristics of radiance data collected by the Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS) aboard the Feng-Yun-4B (FY-4B) geostationary meteorological satellite. We compared GIIRS brightness temperature observations with the first guess from the regional numerical weather forecast model of the Japan Meteorological Agency, and analyzed the bias errors in brightness temperature under clear-sky conditions. In the longwave band, we observed checkerboard patterns of bias error distributions in the CO2 channel. Focusing on the imaginary signals from the radiance data obtained through interferometry with a Fourier transform spectrometer, we believe that the observed bias errors are primarily attributed to electrical factors rather than GIIRS interferometry itself, and most of these errors can be corrected by estimating them in advance. Conversely, in the midwave band, we observed concave bias error distributions in the GIIRS instrument’s dwell, indicating that these may be related to GIIRS interferometry. Additionally, we examined the characteristics of the imaginary signal under cloudy conditions by comparing it with the cloud physical property products from Himawari-9. It was observed that large imaginary signals tended to appear in GIIRS data for scenes with high clouds and low brightness temperatures. This indicates that the imaginary signal could serve as auxiliary information for assessing whether observations are influenced by clouds, particularly high clouds including optically thin cirrus clouds. For the quantitative use of GIIRS data, it is important to consider these bias errors and perform quality control using the imaginary signal.

The ultraviolet spectrum of Gd I in the 305–325 nm range was studied using resonance ionization spectroscopy, revealing 196 transition lines, including 66 strong ones. The lower and upper energy levels were assigned to 190 lines by combining available reference data with pump–probe verification, 172 of which are reported for the first time. Seventeen new even-parity high-lying excited states were also identified. The strong lines reported here will contribute to future studies of Gd I Rydberg and autoionization states and enable two-color, two-step photoionization pathways for isotope separation and resonance ionization mass spectrometry analysis.

This work focuses on the study of the electromagnetic density spectral function (DSF) near a graphene–dielectric cavity. The cavity is formed in the space confined by the base of a dielectric micro-cube and a planar graphene sheet covering a dielectric substrate. The size and refractive index of the micro-cube, the constitutive parameters of graphene, and the gap between the dielectric cube and the graphene sheet determine the modifications to the DSF. We have developed a method based on the coupled dipole approximation (CDA), incorporating the surface Green’s tensor to account for the scattering processes with the graphene substrate, thereby rigorously modeling the electromagnetic problem. Our results reveal three well-distinguishable peaks in the DSF spectrum, which are attributed to the isolated micro-cube, the graphene substrate, and their mutual interaction. Specific parameters allow for the selective tuning of an individual peak’s properties, with minimal crosstalk to other spectral features. Using simple physical arguments related to the kinetic characteristics of surface plasmons (SPs) on graphene, we explain the key dependencies on constitutive and geometrical parameters.

In this work, the high-resolution far infrared (FIR) and infrared (IR) spectrum of ethyl alcohol has been recorded in the range 50–1200 cm-1, with an excellent signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, using a synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform spectrometer. This spectrum, along with the spectrum obtained earlier with a conventional Fourier transform spectrometer in the range 15–350 cm-1, has been utilized to assign many ∆K=±1 transitions from the trans- or anti and gauche-states in the ground state to connect the lowest lying state (o2) for the first excited OH torsional vibrational band. Since the transitions originating from the trans- states are the strongest mode, the terminating state is termed trans (anti) State (o2). However, this state has odd parity. In addition, many millimeter (MMW) wave transitions have been measured elsewhere and assigned. The assignments have been rigorously confirmed using several complementary methods. An expanded appendix (Appendix-1) of about 8000 accurate wavenumbers of assigned transitions in the millimeter (MMW), FIR, and IR regions has been prepared and is being submitted as a depository. The assignments allowed indirect energy differences between the trans- and gauche states in the ground state, which are not otherwise obtainable via dipole selection rules. The accurate wavenumbers should help detect ethanol in interstellar space, particularly using the IR telescopes, and for further studies on intricate interactions between the various vibrational modes and rotation. This is the first time high-resolution studies have been performed in the elusive excited torsional state of ethyl alcohol. The reported transition wavenumber should have an uncertainty of less than ±0.0002 cm-1

In this study, level energies, their radiative lifetimes and Landé g-factors, wavelengths, transition probabilities, weighted oscillator strengths and line strengths for electric dipole (E1) and electric quadrupole (E2) transitions of sodium-like zirconium (Zr(Zr XXX), Z = 40) are determined. Four atomic codes are used in the calculations: the pseudo-relativistic Hartree–Fock code, including superposition of configurations with relativistic corrections (Cowan’s HFR method), the multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock (MCHF) method within the framework of Breit–Pauli relativistic corrections, the AUTOSTRUCTURE code, which includes Breit interactions and quantum electrodynamics contributions, and the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP) based on a fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) method. Our data set is compared with other results available in the literature. Furthermore, we present new atomic data for Zr, which have not been published previously. The present results are reported as reference points for future calculations and measurements.
