Generalization of space-filling bearings to arbitrary loop size
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model for space-filling packing of discs rolling sliplessly on each other is presented. This model is an extension of the model presented by Herrmann et al to a basic loop size of an arbitrary even number of discs. This model might have application in geophysics, dense granular flows and turbulence. We show the existence and uniqueness of such constructions, analytically, for loop size up to eight, and numerically for bigger basic loop sizes, and make precise the algorithm to construct them. A classification of the solution is also given and extensive studies of the fractal dimension are performed, showing that it varies considerably with the base loop size.

Obtaining the size distribution of fault gouges with polydisperse bearings.
We generalize a recent study of random space-filling bearings to a more realistic situation, where the spacing offset varies randomly during the space-filling procedure, and show that it reproduces well the size distributions observed in recent studies of real fault gouges. In particular, we show that the fractal dimensions of random polydisperse bearings sweep predominantly the low range of va...

In this study an analytical model for open loop pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) is presented. The model predicts the effect of different parameters such as evaporator temperature, length of evaporator, filling ratio, number of turn and tube diameter on PHP's performance. The governing equations in two phase flow including mass, momentum and energy equations are solved for both one dimensional liqu...
متن کاملRandom bearings and their stability.
Self-similar space-filling bearings have been proposed some time ago as models for the motion of tectonic plates and appearance of seismic gaps. These models have two features which, however, seem unrealistic, namely, high symmetry in the arrangement of the particles, and lack of a lower cutoff in the size of the particles. In this work, an algorithm for generating random bearings in both two a...
متن کاملHarmonious Hilbert curves and other extradimensional space-filling curves
This paper introduces a new way of generalizing Hilbert’s two-dimensional space-filling curve to arbitrary dimensions. The new curves, called harmonious Hilbert curves, have the unique property that for any d′ < d, the d-dimensional curve is compatible with the d′-dimensional curve with respect to the order in which the curves visit the points of any d′-dimensional axis-parallel space that cont...
متن کاملComplex networks from space-filling bearings.
Two-dimensional space-filling bearings are dense packings of disks that can rotate without slip. We consider the entire first family of bearings for loops of four disks and propose a hierarchical construction of their contact network. We provide analytic expressions for the clustering coefficient and degree distribution, revealing bipartite scale-free behavior with a tunable degree exponent dep...
