On the derivation of some fundamental expressions for the average stress tensor in systems of interacting particles
نویسنده
چکیده
The so-called generalized Kramers-Kirkwood expression for the average stress tensor of a system of interacting point particles, derived by Bird and Curtiss on using a phase-space-kinetic formalism has been reconsidered from different points of view. First a derivation based upon volume averaging is discussed, and after that a derivation based upon a virtual work principle. The latter approach offers the possibility of distinguishing reversible (including thermodynamic and Brownian) and dissipative forces and stresses by using a projection operator, associated with the constraints of the system.

Dielectrophoretic effect of nonuniform electric fields on the protoplast cell
In recent years, dielectrophoresis based microfluidics systems have been used to manipulate colloids, inert particles, and biological microparticles, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cancer cells, bacteria, yeast, microorganisms, proteins, DNA, etc. In the current study the governing electric potential equations have been solved in the presence of cell for the purpose of ...
متن کاملSymmetric curvature tensor
Recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. Using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. This concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and Laplacian of vector fields. This concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discu...

متن کاملCalculation of the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of relativistic accretion flows in the Kerr metric.
In this paper, we calculate the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of the relativistic accretion ows in the Kerr metric, overall and without any approximation. We obtain the relations of all components of the relativistic bulk and shear tensor in terms of components of four-velocity and its derivatives, Christoffel symbols and metric components in the BLF. Then, these components are deri...

The tensor product is the fundemental ingredient for extending one-dimensional techniques of filtering and compression in signal preprocessing to higher dimensions. Woven frames play a crucial role in signal preprocessing and distributed data processing. Motivated by these facts, we have investigated the tensor product of woven frames and presented some of their properties. Besides...
