Hydrodynamic interactions between nearby slender filaments
(IOP PublishingEPL (Europhysics Letters), 2016-11-28)
Cellular biology abound with filaments interacting through fluids, from intracellular microtubules, to rotating flagella and beating cilia. While previous work has demonstrated the complexity of capturing nonlocal hydrodynamic ...
Inelastic scattering of xenon atoms by quantized vortices in superfluids
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review B, 2016-11-01)
We study inelastic interactions of particles with quantized vortices in superfluids by using a semiclassical matter wave theory that is analogous to the Landau two-fluid equations, but allows for the vortex dynamics. The ...
Non-abelian 3$D$ bosonization and quantum Hall states
(SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2016-12-01)
Bosonization dualities relate two different Chern-Simons-matter theories, with bosonic matter on one side replaced by fermionic matter on the other. We first describe a more general class of non-Abelian bosonization ...
Ten questions about natural ventilation of non-domestic buildings
(ElsevierBuilding and Environment, 2016-10)
Throughout history, natural ventilation has remained the preferred choice for the majority of residential buildings, while, in commercial buildings, natural ventilation went from being the single option to somewhat of a ...
Impact of aperture separation on wind-driven single-sided natural ventilation
(ElsevierBuilding and Environment, 2016-11-01)
This paper presents a study of the impact of horizontal aperture separation in single-sided ventilation flows with two apertures (SS2). The study is based on wind tunnel measurements and dimensional analysis. The results ...
Phoretic flow induced by asymmetric confinement
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-06-28)
Internal phoretic flows due to the interactions of solid boundaries with local chemical gradients may be created using chemical patterning. Alternatively, we demonstrate here that internal flows might also be induced by ...
Near-wall diffusion tensor of an axisymmetric colloidal particle
(AIPJournal of Chemical Physics, 2016-07-20)
Hydrodynamic interactions with confining boundaries often lead to drastic changes in the diffusive behaviour of microparticles in suspensions. For axially symmetric particles, earlier numerical studies have suggested a ...
Light-induced self-assembly of active rectification devices.
(Science advances, 2016-04)
Lines of constant physics in a five-dimensional gauge-higgs unification scenario
(Proceedings of ScienceProceedings of Sciencehttps://pos.sissa.it/cgi-bin/reader/contribution.cgi?id=256/215, 2016-07-24)
We report on the progress in the study of a five-dimensional SU(2) Gauge-Higgs Unification model. In this non-perturbative study, the Higgs mechanism is triggered by the spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry. In the ...
Charmed Meson Scattering from Lattice QCD
(Proceedings of ScienceProceedings from the 8th International Workshop On Charm Physics, 2016-11-17)
State-of-the-art lattice QCD calculations of scattering amplitudes in coupled-channel Dπ, Dη and DsK¯ scattering, as well elastic DK scattering are discussed. The methodology employed allows a determination of the relevant ...
