Singular sublimation of ice and snow crystals
Nature Communications, 2018 Ice sublimation is a common, yet little-studied, heat and mass transfer problem with climatic and industrial implications. Here, the authors show that the sublimation of ice crystals is purely diffusive and is unaffected by the underlying crystalline ...

An Analytical Investigation of Natural Convection of a Van Der Waals Gas over a Vertical Plate
Fluids, 2021 The study focused on a theoretical study of natural convection in a van der Waals gas near a vertical plate. A novel simplified form of the van der Waals equation derived in the study enabled analytical modeling of fluid flow and heat transfer ...

Dynamical criticality of spin-shear coupling in van der Waals antiferromagnets
Nature Communications, 2022 Van der Waals materials are characterized by two dimensional layers weakly held together by interlayer van der Waals forces. Here, the authors study how shear motions between these layers influence the magnetic properties of the van der Waals ...

Lifshitz theory of van der Waals pressure in dissipative media [PDF]
, 2010 We derive a first--principles method of determining the van der Waals or Casimir pressure in a dissipative and dispersive planar multilayered system by calculating the Maxwell stress tensor in a fictitious layer of vacuum, that is eventually made to ...

Dynamic van der Waals theory [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2007 We present a dynamic van der Waals theory starting with entropy and energy functional with gradient contributions. The resultant hydrodynamic equations contain the stress arising from the density gradient. It provides a general scheme of two-phase hydrodynamics involving the gas-liquid transition in nonuniform temperature.

Examination of a Theoretical Model of Streaming Potential Coupling Coefficient
International Journal of Geophysics, 2014 Seismoelectric effects and streaming potentials play an important role in geophysical applications. The key parameter for those phenomena is the streaming potential coupling coefficient, which is, for example, dependent on the zeta potential of the ...

Scale Dependence of the Retarded van der Waals Potential [PDF]
, 2012 We study the ground state energy for a system of two hydrogen atoms coupled to the quantized Maxwell field in the limit $\alpha \to 0$ together with the relative distance between the atoms increasing as $\alpha^{-\gamma} R$, $\gamma > 0$.

Damage due to ice crystallization
Scientific ReportsThe freezing of water is one of the major causes of mechanical damage in materials during wintertime; surprisingly this happens even in situations where water only partially saturates the material so that the ice has room to grow.
