Granular flows in a narrow pipe are studied numerically by the model taking account of hydrodynamic effects of fluid surrounding particles. In the simulations density waves are observed over the wide range of the Stokes number, which represents the inertial effect of particles. The mechanisms of formation of the density waves are considered and two types of density waves, which are observed in ...

The wide-stream impaction on a class of semi-infinite twodimensional symmetric bodies having flat or circular-arc noses placed in a uniform potential flow of aerosols is investigated. The governing Stokes equations of motion are nonlinear differential equations involving a parameter called the Stokes number. The study calculates analytically the critical value of the Stokes number on the centre...

In this paper a description of the small-h̄ limit of loci of zeros of fundamental solutions for polynomial potentials is given. The considered cases of the potentials are bounded to the ones which provided us with simple turning points only. Among the latter potentials still several cases of Stokes graphs the potentials provide us with are distinguished, i.e. the general non-critical Stokes grap...

Accurate evaluation of damping in laterally oscillating microstructures is challenging due to the complex flow behavior. In addition, device fabrication techniques and surface properties will have an important effect on the flow characteristics. Although kinetic approaches such as the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method and directly solving the Boltzmann equation can address these chall...

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is a well-known Raman scattering process that occurs when Stokes, anti-Stokes and pump waves are properly phase-matched. Using a quantum-field approach with Langevin noise sources, we calculate the noise figure for wavelength conversion between the Stokes and anti-Stokes waves in CARS and show its dependence on phase mismatch. Under phase matched con...

We derive macroscopic dynamics for self-propelled particles in a fluid. The starting point is a coupled Vicsek-Stokes system. The Vicsek model describes selfpropelled agents interacting through alignment. It provides a phenomenological description of hydrodynamic interactions between agents at high density. Stokes equations describe a low Reynolds number fluid. These two dynamics are coupled by...

We derive upper bounds for the number of asymptotic degrees (determining modes and nodes) of freedom for the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes system and Navier-Stokes system with damping. In the first case we obtain the previously known estimates in an explicit form, which are larger than the fractal dimension of the global attractor. However, for the Navier–Stokes system with damping our estimate...
