In order to investigate the positional stability of a current-carrying plasma in an
l=2 stellarator field, we estimate the decay index of the vertical magnetic field when the stellarator field is applied. Experimental results show that the positional stability of a current-carrying plasma in the stellarator field is better than that of a tokamak plasma. Although the value of the decay index is negative, the plasma column is also positionally stable in the vertical direction, A following relationship (
Remark: Graphics omitted.) is experimentally confirmed, where δ
Bv is a change of the vertical magnetic field, δ
Δ is the displacement of the plasma column, (
Remark: Graphics omitted.) is the rotational transform angle of the helical field,
Bt is the toroidal magnetic field and
R is the major radius of the plasma column.

The method to study the effect of the plate moving in the homogeneous or isotropic turbulence is presented. The crucial point of this method is to solve the Orr-Sommerfeld like equation, which is satisfied by the kernel of the Wiener-Hermite expansion of the velocity field, under the inhomogeneous boundary condition. In the special case of constant mean flow, our method gives the same result as that of Hunt and Graham and succeeds in explaining the experimental results of Thomas and Hancock. The method is also applied to the case of non-uniform mean flow, where the shear effect comes up.

An extension of nonlinear evolution equations to higher orders is investigated. Included are (i) a higher order Sawada-Kotera equation which cannot be derived from the functional derivative of higher order conserved quantities of the Sawada-Kotera equation; (ii)
N-soliton solution and the inverse scattering form for the higher order Sawada-Kotera equation; (iii)
N-soliton solutions, the Bäcklund transformation and the inverse scattering form for higher order modified K-dV equations; (iv) a list of several bilinear equations some of which are conjectured to have 3-soliton solutions.

Gaseous flow in a rapidly rotating short cylinder is studied within the framework of a linear treatment. Since the aspect ratio of the cylinder is assumed to be of the order of
E1⁄2, where
E is the Ekman number, a viscous force is dominant throughout the flow region. Meridional flow is induced either by a temperature difference of the top and bottom end plates or by a differential rotation of the cylinder walls. The flow region is divided into an Ekman-layer like region and a corner region with the dimension of
E1⁄2×
E1⁄2. The equation governing the latter corner region is (
Δ3+
a4∂
2⁄∂
2)ψ=0, which is solved by an expansion technique.

The Bäcklund transformations of the higher-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations are derived on the basis of the bilinear transformation method. It is shown that these transformations are closely related to the quantities obtained from the functional derivative of conserved quantities of the modified KdV equation. The inverse scattering transforms of the higher-order KdV equations are also presented.

The theory described in an earlier paper [M. Takashima: J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.
47 (1979) 1321] is extended to include the possibility of overstability. Linear stability theory is applied to derive a time-dependent eigenvalue relationship which is then computed numerically. It is shown that depending on the values of various dimensionless parameters, instability can set in either as a stationary convection or as overstability.

Effects of perturbations on the soliton solutions of the K-dV equation are investigated. A system of equations which governs the slow modulation of the soliton solution is derived systematically from the non-secular conditions of the multiple time scale expansion. An equation which governs the time evolution of the non-soliton part is also obtained from the first order of the expansion. The results are applied to one soliton and two soliton problems. In addition, contributions of the non-soliton part to the modified conservation laws are investigated briefly.

As a two-dimensional model of blood flow in an artery with a branch, pulsatile flows of a viscous fluid in a channel with a branch are studied for various parameters (Reynolds number, ratio of flow rates downstream of bifurcation, and period of oscillation). The angle of bifurcation and the amplitude of oscillation are fixed. It is shown that for the case similar to blood flow in artery the amplitude of shearing stress variation is higher in the neighbourhood of downstream corner and downstream of upstream corner in side channel.

The recurrence of an initial waveform in a nonlinear LC circuit which is equivalent to the Toda lattice is studied experimentally. When initial wave amplitude is small enough, we find that the recurrence length is independent of wave amplitude, but is determined only by the frequency. The amplitude of the second harmonic wave is also observed as a function of the distance. The results of small wave amplitude agree with the theory of weak nonlinearity. As the wave amplitude is increased, the recurrence length becomes shorter in proportion to
A−1⁄2, where
A denotes the initial wave amplitude. Similarities and dissimilarities, between the recurrence in the discrete medium and that of the continuous system such as the Korteweg-de Vries equation are carefully examined.

Four anomalies in resistivity and specific heat in C
24Rb have been observed at temperatures (A) 60, (B) 110, (C) 165 and (D) ca. 210 K. The anomalies B and C arise from the structure phase transitions of the Rb atoms which have been revealed by Suzuki
et al. The anomalies A and D are suggested to come from the phase transitions analogous to those in C
24Cs, although the structural study has not been made.

c*. The incommensurate
c*-component, observed for the first time in the layered dichalcogenides, can be explained by the nesting of the Fermi surface undulated along the
c*-axis, such as calculated by Wooley and Wexler.
