Bell-Plesset effects for an accelerating interface with contiguous density gradients

An automatic collector for density gradients

Accelerating resolution-of-the-identity second-order Møller-Plesset quantum chemistry calculations with graphical processing units.

The modification of a general purpose code for quantum mechanical calculations of molecular properties (Q-Chem) to use a graphical processing unit (GPU) is reported. A 4.3x speedup of the resolution-of-the-identity second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (RI-MP2) execution time is observed in single point energy calculations of linear alkanes. The code modification is accomplished using...

an experimental study of turbulent mixing near a density interface

the entrainment of a stably stratified layer into a turbulent mixed layer in a confined region has been studied in the laboratory for different richardson numbers, ri. the results include direct observation of turbulent characteristics and density measurements using two high precision salinity meters. the measurements include turbulence intensity, scale of eddies near the interface and energy s...

Global axisymmetric Magnetorotational Instability with density gradients

We examine global incompressible axisymmetric perturbations of a differentially rotating MHD plasma with radial density gradients. It is shown that the standard magnetorotational instability, (MRI) criterion drawn from the local dispersion relation is often misleading. If the equilibrium magnetic field is either purely axial or purely toroidal, the problem reduces to finding the global radial e...

Freeze-cutting of density gradients.

There are numerous techniques for sampling density gradients in experiments involving the preparative ultracentrifuge. Among the sampling procedures used are: drawing liquid samples from the top of the density gradient with modified pipettes (J. B. Sinclair et al., Phytopathology 47:372, 1957), displacement through the top of the density gradient (E. Huff, H. Oxley, and C. S. Silverman, J. Bact...
