Ballistic Motion of a Tracer Particle Coupled to a Bose gas
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the motion of a heavy tracer particle weakly coupled to a dense interacting Bose gas exhibiting Bose-Einstein condensation. In the so-called mean-field limit, the dynamics of this system approaches one determined by nonlinear Hamiltonian evolution equations. We derive the effective dynamics of the tracer particle, which is described by a non-linear integro-differential equation with memory, and prove that if the initial speed of the tracer particle is below the speed of sound in the Bose gas the motion of the particle approaches an inertial motion at constant velocity at large times.

We study the motion of a heavy tracer particle weakly coupled to a dense, weakly interacting Bose gas exhibiting Bose-Einstein condensation. In the so-called mean-field limit, the dynamics of this system approaches one determined by nonlinear Hamiltonian evolution equations. We prove that if the initial speed of the tracer particle is above the speed of sound in the Bose gas, and for a suitable...
متن کاملUniversal large deviations for the tagged particle in single-file motion.
We consider a gas of point particles moving in a one-dimensional channel with a hard-core interparticle interaction that prevents particle crossings--this is called single-file motion. Starting from equilibrium initial conditions we observe the motion of a tagged particle. It is well known that if the individual particle dynamics is diffusive, then the tagged particle motion is subdiffusive, wh...
متن کاملDirect measurement of the ballistic motion of a freely floating colloid in Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids.
A thermal colloid suspended in a liquid will transition from a short-time ballistic motion to a long-time diffusive motion. However, the transition between ballistic and diffusive motion is highly dependent on the properties and structure of the particular liquid. We directly observe a free floating tracer particle's ballistic motion and its transition to the long-time regime in both a Newtonia...

In this study, forced-vibration analysis of a coupled system of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) subjected to the moving nano-particle is carried out based on nonlocal elasticity theory of orthotropic plate. Two SLGSs are coupled with elastic medium which is simulated by Pasternak and Visco-Pasternak models. Using Hamilton’s principle, governing differential equations of motion are derive...
متن کاملEffects of coupling on turbulent gas-particle boundary layer flows at borderline volume fractions using kinetic theory
This study is concerned with the prediction of particles’ velocity in a dilute turbulent gas-solidboundary layer flow using a fully Eulerian two-fluid model. The closures required for equationsdescribing the particulate phase are derived from the kinetic theory of granular flows. Gas phaseturbulence is modeled by one-equation model and solid phase turbulence by MLH theory. Resultsof one-way and...
