Fermi acceleration in rotating drums
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider hard balls in a bounded rotating drum. If there is no gravitation then Fermi acceleration, i.e., the energy of remains forever. gravitation, acceleration may arise. A number explicit formulas for system without are given. Some these based on an realization, which we derive, well-known microcanonical ensemble measure.

Fermi Acceleration
Fermi acceleration is a mechanism, first suggested by Enrico Fermi in 1949, to explain heating of particles in cosmic rays. Fermi studied charged particles being reflected by the moving interstellar magnetic field and either gaining or losing energy, depending on whether the ”magnetic mirror” is approaching or receding. In a typical environment, Fermi argued, the probability of a head-on collis...
متن کاملRapidly rotating fermi gases
We show that the density profile of a Fermi gas in rapidly rotating potential will develop prominent features reflecting the underlying Landau-level-like energy spectrum. Depending on the aspect ratio of the trap, these features can be a sequence of ellipsoidal volumes or a sequence of quantized steps.
متن کاملUnsteady flow in rotating drums using laser Doppler velocimetry
Non-destructive measurements by laser Doppler velocimetry is employed to study unsteady flow in a hollow drum filled with liquid. The drum is suddenly accelerated from rest or is suddenly decelerated from a steady rotation to rest. Pure water and glycerin-water mixtures are used as the test liquid in which polyethylenelatex particles are mixed as the light scattering tracer. The boundary layer ...
متن کاملGranular flow in partially filled slowly rotating drums
In many industrial processes granular materials are mixed together in partially filled slowly rotating drums. In this paper a general theoretical framework is developed for the quasi-two-dimensional motion of granular material in a rotating drum. The key assumption is that the body can be divided into a fluid-like and a solid-like region, that are separated by a non-material singular surface at...
متن کاملFermi acceleration in astrophysical jets
We consider the acceleration of energetic particles by Fermi processes (i.e., diffusive shock acceleration, second order Fermi acceleration, and gradual shear acceleration) in relativistic astrophysical jets, with particular attention given to recent progress in the field of viscous shear acceleration. We analyze the associated acceleration timescales and the resulting particle distributions, a...
