AI-Driven Optimization of Multilayer Thin-Film Structures for Advanced Optical Applications by Emad Alkhazraji, Sani Mukhtar, Haitham Khaled, Jaime Viegas

“…Designing multilayer thin-film structures with tailored optical responses is a complex and computationally intensive task, often requiring repeated simulations and limited physical intuition about the role of each layer. In this study, we propose a data-driven framework that leverages a fully connected neural network (FCNN) as a surrogate model to accelerate and interpret the design of a high-reflectivity multilayer structure composed of alternating Ta2O5 and MgF2 layers. …”

Investigation of acoustic properties of snow-covered sea ice by R. A. Balakin, G. I. Vilkov

“…Acoustic characteristics were measured repeatedly during several seasons of each year from 2010 to 2017. This investigation made possible to obtain statistical estimates of the distributions of the reflection coefficient of the sound and the quantitative values of broadening of the frequency spectrum of acoustic signals depending on the angle of incidence of the acoustic rays, the nature of the irregularities and the structure of the reflective surfaces of ice and snow cover thickness and the drift speed. …”

Hybrid Artificial Boundary Conditions for the Application of Blunt-Body Aerodynamic Noise Prediction by Ruixian MA, Zhansheng LIU, Con J. DOOLAN, Danielle J. MOREAU, Michał CZARNECKI

“…Large eddy simulation (LES) and FW-H acoustic analogy method are implemented to predict the far-field noise, and the sensitivities of each approach to the HABC are compared. In the LES computed propagation field of the fluctuation pressure and the frequency-domain results, the spurious reflections at edges are found to be significantly eliminated by the HABC through the effective dissipation of incident waves along the wave-front direction in the ADL. …”
