Physical-layer security transmission method based on spatial modulation with finite alphabet inputs by Bo CUI, Lu LIU, Xiang-yu LI, Liang JIN

“…Addressing the problem of wireless physical layer security transmission for finite alphabet input systems,a spatial modulation secure transmission method is proposed.On the basis of information theory,the method utilizes the receive antenna indices of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system to bear information,and randomizes the eavesdropper’s equivalent channel by switching the receive antennas,which can guarantee physical layer security transmission.First,the different receiving performances of the legitimate user and eavesdropper are analyzed in the spatial modulation secure transmission system.Second,the mutual information and secrecy mutual information of the transmission system are calculated,and two sufficient conditions that ensure positive secrecy mutual information are pointed out.Finally,an estimation algorithm of mutual information is provided.Moreover,the symmetry of finite alphabet set is exploited to decrease the computational complexity.Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results verify the availability of the security transmission method.…”

CFD for turbulence: from fundamentals to geophysics and astrophysics by Cambon, Claude, Alvarez Laguna, Alejandro, Zhou, Ye

“…In this paper, we review the role of CFD in the study of turbulence through both direct numerical simulations and the resolution of statistical multi-scale theories. With a historical perspective, we will discuss the evolution of the numerical modeling of turbulence from the first numerical experiments as proposed by Orszag and Patterson [1] to complex geophysical and plasma simulations where body forces such as Coriolis, the buoyancy force, or the Lorentz force can introduce strong anisotropies. …”

A Flexible Polynomial Expansion Method for Response Analysis with Random Parameters by Rugao Gao, Keping Zhou, Yun Lin

“…The generalized Polynomial Chaos Expansion Method (gPCEM), which is a random uncertainty analysis method by employing the orthogonal polynomial bases from the Askey scheme to represent the random space, has been widely used in engineering applications due to its good performance in both computational efficiency and accuracy. But in gPCEM, a nonlinear transformation of random variables should always be used to adapt the generalized Polynomial Chaos theory for the analysis of random problems with complicated probability distributions, which may introduce nonlinearity in the procedure of random uncertainty propagation as well as leading to approximation errors on the probability distribution function (PDF) of random variables. …”
