Cosmic ray driven Galactic winds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The escape of cosmic rays from the Galaxy leads to a gradient in the cosmic ray pressure that acts as a force on the background plasma, in the direction opposite to the gravitational pull.

Acoustic treaming visualization in elastic spherical cavities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Flow visualizations are presented for acoustic streaming occurring inside spherical elastic cavities oscillating in an acoustic field. Streaming flows are visualized using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and results are observed for a range of values of

A New Numerical Scheme for Cosmic Ray Transport

open access: yes, 2017
Numerical solutions of the cosmic-ray (CR) magneto-hydrodynamic equations are dogged by a powerful numerical instability, which arises from the constraint that CRs can only stream down their gradient.

Spatio-temporal evolution of the nonresonant instability in shock precursors of young supernova remnants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A nonresonant cosmic-ray-current-driven instability may operate in the shock precursors of young supernova remnants and be responsible for magnetic-field amplification, plasma heating and turbulence.

Measurements of the steady streaming flow around oscillating spheres using 3D particle tracking velocimetry

open access: yes, 2007
Granular particles vibrated in a fluid have been found to exhibit self-organization with attractive and repulsive interactions between the particles. These interactions have been attributed to the steady streaming flow around oscillating particles.

Anisotropic Wetting Property of Superhydrophobic Surfaces and Electrokinetic Flow on Liquid-Filled Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Understanding the wetting property of rough surface is critical in guiding droplets and novel superhydrophobic surface design. The Cassie-Baxter model and Wenzel model are always used to describe the totally non-wetting and completely wetting states ...

Interfacial transport with mobile surface charges and consequences for ionic transport in carbon nanotubes

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we explore the effect of a finite surface charge mobility on the interfacial transport: conductance, streaming currents, electro- and diffusio-osmotic flows. We first show that the surface charge mobility modifies the hydrodynamic boundary

Nematic-Isotropic Interfaces Under Shear: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We present a large-scale molecular dynamics study of nematic-paranematic interfaces under shear. We use a model of soft repulsive ellipsoidal particles with well-known equilibrium properties, and consider interfaces which are oriented normal to the ...

On the Feeding Zone of Planetesimal Formation by the Streaming Instability

open access: yes, 2014
The streaming instability is a promising mechanism to overcome the barriers in direct dust growth and lead to the formation of planetesimals. Most previous studies of the streaming instability, however, were focused on a local region of a protoplanetary ...

Non-Maxwellian electron distribution functions due to self-generated turbulence in collisionless guide-field reconnection

open access: yes, 2016
Non-Maxwellian electron velocity space distribution functions (EVDF) are useful signatures of plasma conditions and non-local consequences of collisionless magnetic reconnection.
