Intrinsic viscosity and the electrical polarizability of arbitrarily shaped objects.
The problem of calculating the electric polarizability tensor alpha(e) of objects of arbitrary shape has been reformulated in terms of path integration and implemented computationally. The method simultaneously yields the electrostatic capacity C and the equilibrium charge density. These functionals of particle shape are important in many materials science applications, including the conductivi...
متن کاملEffective viscosity properties of dilute suspensions of arbitrarily shaped particles
In this paper we derive high-order asymptotic expansions of the effective viscosity properties of a dilute periodic suspension composed of freely-suspended arbitrarily shaped particles dispersed in an incompressible Newtonian fluid. High-order terms are not only function of the viscous moment tensor but also of a distortion tensor that characterizes the periodic array. Mathematics subject class...
متن کاملBrownian motion of arbitrarily shaped particles in two dimensions.
We implement microfabricated boomerang particles with unequal arm lengths as a model for nonsymmetric particles and study their Brownian motion in a quasi-two-dimensional geometry by using high-precision single-particle motion tracking. We show that because of the coupling between translation and rotation, the mean squared displacements of a single asymmetric boomerang particle exhibit a nonlin...
متن کاملVector radiative transfer equation for arbitrarily shaped and arbitrarily oriented particles: a microphysical derivation from statistical electromagnetics.
The concepts of statistical electromagnetics are used to derive the general radiative transfer equation (RTE) that describes multiple scattering of polarized light by sparse discrete random media consisting of arbitrarily shaped and arbitrarily oriented particles. The derivation starts with the volume integral and Lippmann-Schwinger equations for the electric field scattered by a fixed N-partic...
متن کاملEquiphase-sphere approximation for analysis of light scattering by arbitrarily shaped nonspherical particles.
We extend the previously proposed concept of equiphase sphere (EPS) to analyze light-scattering properties of arbitrarily shaped particles. Our analyses based on the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin technique and numerical studies based on the finite-difference time-domain method demonstrate that a wide range of irregularly shaped particles can be approximated as their equivalent equiphase ellipsoids ...
