Gotowa bibliografia na temat „Anomalous hydrodynamics”

In this paper, we study anomalous hydrodynamics with a dyonic charge. We show that the local second law of thermodynamics constrains the structure of the anomaly in addition to the structure of the hydrodynamic constitutive equations. In particular, we show that not only the usual [Formula: see text] term but also [Formula: see text] term should be present in the anomaly with a specific coefficient for the local entropy production to be positive definite.

The thermal regime of Algeria and Tunisia and its relation to hydrodynamics is studied by means of available geological and geothermal, and petroleum data. Heat flow densities in the area range from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. Several Paleozoic to Tertiary aquifers have been identified, together with potential recharge and discharge areas. The area is a transition zone between the African and European plates. The more tectonically active northern Alpine domain does not exhibit an obvious geothermal trend, and high heat flow anomalies that occur there may be related to structure rather than hydrodynamics. The more stable southern Saharan tectonic domain, with background heat flow of approximately [Formula: see text], exhibits anomalous zones correlated to the hydrodynamic regime with low values in recharge areas (Algerian Tinrhert and High Plateaux) and values in discharge areas (Tunisian Jeffara and Algerian Tademait). The hydrodynamic perturbation to the normal heat flow is estimated to be as great as [Formula: see text] in recharge and discharge zones.

Identifying universal properties of nonequilibrium quantum states is a major challenge in modern physics. A fascinating prediction is that classical hydrodynamics emerges universally in the evolution of any interacting quantum system. We experimentally probed the quantum dynamics of 51 individually controlled ions, realizing a long-range interacting spin chain. By measuring space-time–resolved correlation functions in an infinite temperature state, we observed a whole family of hydrodynamic universality classes, ranging from normal diffusion to anomalous superdiffusion, that are described by Lévy flights. We extracted the transport coefficients of the hydrodynamic theory, reflecting the microscopic properties of the system. Our observations demonstrate the potential for engineered quantum systems to provide key insights into universal properties of nonequilibrium states of quantum matter.

Brillouin spectroscopy probes the thermally generated pressure fluctuations (sound waves) which propagate in a material. The resulting information on sound velocity and absorption provides a fast and efficient method of monitoring high frequency (GHz) dynamics in the system being studied. In certain cases, structural information may also be inferred from changes in the Brillouin spectrum as a function of temperature, pressure or composition (in the case of multi-component systems). The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to integrate Brillouin spectroscopy into current soft condensed matter research projects at Edinburgh, namely (i) hydration in methanol-water mixtures and (ii) the behaviour of hard-sphere colloidal dispersions. A Brillouin spectrometer based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer was developed and tested, resulting in a high-resolution instrument operating at variable scattering vector (exchanged momentum), temperature and pressure. The technical aspects of this work were carried out in collaboration with a colleague. Data analysis routines were designed and implemented, enabling calibrated Brillouin spectra to be produced automatically from raw experimental data. Excellent agreement with results on several materials studied in the literature confirmed the accuracy and sensitivity of the spectrometer. The molecular details of hydration in methanol-water mixtures are of great interest due to the prototypical amphiphilic nature of the methanol molecule. The effect of deep cooling on the Brillouin spectrum across a wide range of methanol concentrations was studied in detail, resulting in the first observation of an anomalous increase in sound velocity and maximum in sound absorption at intermediate compositions. A similar effect was then found at higher temperature in aqueous tertiary butanol, and was identified in a brief survey of several other aqueous solutions. High pressure Brillouin spectra indicate that this anomalous behaviour may also be present in pure water. It is suggested that these novel effects may be due to the presence of a relatively unperturbed water structure in the aqueous solutions studied, even at quite high solute concentration. Preliminary results from a neutron diffraction experiment performed on a 40% by mass methanol-water mixture were consistent with this hypothesis. Brillouin spectroscopy was also used to study the propagation of high frequency sound in monodisperse colloidal suspensions of sub-micron hard spheres. A second longitudinal sound mode was observed for scattering vectors of magnitude greater than pi/d where d is the diameter of the spheres. These results are the first reproduction and extension of the pioneering work in the field, which identified the additional mode with a surface acoustic excitation, propagating between adjacent spheres via an evanescent wave in the solvent. The new results show that the second mode is extinguished at a particular scattering vector - an effect not reported previously. It is suggested that this extinction is due to the minimum in the form factor for elastic scattering from a single sphere.

abstract: Chiral symmetry and its anomalous and spontaneous breaking play an important role in particle physics, where it explains the origin of pion and hadron mass hierarchy among other things. Despite its microscopic origin chirality may also lead to observable effects in macroscopic physical systems -- relativistic plasmas made of chiral (spin-$\frac{1}{2}$) particles. Such plasmas are called \textit{chiral}. The effects include non-dissipative currents in external fields that could be present even in quasi-equilibrium, such as the chiral magnetic (CME) and separation (CSE) effects, as well as a number of inherently chiral collective modes called the chiral magnetic (CMW) and vortical (CVW) waves. Applications of chiral plasmas are truly interdisciplinary, ranging from hot plasma filling the early Universe, to dense matter in neutron stars, to electronic band structures in Dirac and Weyl semimetals, to quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions. The main focus of this dissertation is a search for traces of chiral physics in the spectrum of collective modes in chiral plasmas. I start from relativistic chiral kinetic theory and derive first- and second-order chiral hydrodynamics. Then I establish key features of an equilibrium state that describes many physical chiral systems and use it to find the full spectrum of collective modes in high-temperature and high-density cases. Finally, I consider in detail the fate of the two inherently chiral waves, namely the CMW and the CVW, and determine their detection prospects. The main results of this dissertation are the formulation of a fully covariant dissipative chiral hydrodynamics and the calculation of the spectrum of collective modes in chiral plasmas. It is found that the dissipative effects and dynamical electromagnetism play an important role in most cases. In particular, it is found that both the CMW and the CVW are heavily damped by the usual Ohmic dissipation in charged plasmas and the diffusion effects in neutral plasmas. These findings prompt a search for new physical observables in heavy-ion collisions, as well as a revision of potential applications of chiral theories in cosmology and solid-state physics.

This thesis deals with several aspects of translational and reorientational dynamics of water molecules confined inside narrow carbon nanotubes. Water molecules confined in a non-polar, nanoscopic pore exhibit extremely unusual structural and dynamical properties. Adding to the list of anomalies which are already present in bulk liquid water, the confined water “chains” and “shells” springs many more surprises. The relatively weak interaction with the surrounding walls in conjuction with the strong inter-water hydrogen bonds lead o several novel structural and dynamical features, very special to this “strange” phase of water. In this thesis, we present our findings on the detailed molecular level description of translational and reorientational dynamics of this novel phase of anomalously “soft” water. Chapter 1 introduces the varied theoretical, numerical and experimental attempts to demystify the properties of bulk, interfacial and confined water. It also motivates the aspects of diffusion in low dimensional systems, which are often termed “anomalous”. In Chapter 2, we study the structure and dynamics of water molecules inside an open ended carbon nanotube placed in a bath of water molecules. The size of the nanotube allows only a single file of water molecules inside the nanotube. The water molecules inside the nanotube show solid-like ordering at room temperature, which we quantify by calculating the pair correlation function. It is shown that even for the longest observation times, the mode of diffusion of the water molecules inside the nanotube is Fickian and not sub-diffusive. We also propose a one-dimensional random walk model for the diffusion of the water molecules inside the nanotube. We find good agreement between the mean-square displacements calculated from the random walk model and from MD simulations, thereby confirming that the water molecules undergo normal-mode diffusion inside the nanotube. We attribute this behavior to strong positional correlations that cause all the water molecules inside the nanotube to move collectively as a single object. The average residence time of the water molecules inside the nanotube is shown to scale quadratically with the nanotube length. In Chapter 3, we study the diffusion of water molecules confined inside narrow (6,6) carbon nanorings. The water molecules form two oppositely polarised clusters. It is shown that the effective interaction between these two clusters is repulsive in nature. The computed mean-squared displacement (MSD) clearly shows a scaling with time, which is consistent with single file diffusion (SFD). The time up to which the water molecules undergo SFD is shown to be the lifetime of the water molecules inside these clusters. The inter-cluster repulsive interactions are electrostatic and hence long-ranged, which is in complete contrast with shorter ranged steric repulsion in other systems which exhibit SFD. In Chapter 4, we study the anisotropic orientational dynamics of water molecules confined in narrow carbon nanotubes and nanorings. We find that confinement leads to strong anisotropy in the orientational relaxation. The relaxation of the aligned dipole moments, occurring on a timescale of nanoseconds, is three order of magnitude slower than that of bulk water. In contrast, the relaxation of the vector joining the two hydrogens is ten times faster compared to bulk, with a timescale of about 150 femtoseconds. The slow dipolar relaxation is mediated by the hopping of orientational defects, which are nucleated by the water molecules outside the tube, across the linear water chain. In Chapter 5, we study the reorientational dynamics of water molecules confined inside narrow carbon nanotubes immersed in a bath of water. Our simulations show that the confined water molecules exhibit bistability in their reorientational relaxation, which proceeds by angular jumps between the two stable states. The energy barrier between these two states is about 2kBT. The effect of non-Markovian jumps shows up in the ratio of the timescales o the first and second order reorientational correlation functions, which exceeds the value of the ratio in the diffusive limit. The analytical solution of a proposed model is also presented, which qualitatively explains this “unusual” relaxation. These results will have important implications in understanding proton conduction in water-filled ion channels. In Chapter 6, we report the thermodynamic aspects of the translational and re-orientational dynamics of the strongly confined water molecules. Considering the energetics it is surprising that the water molecules spontaneously fill up the nanotube. Thus the thermodynamics of entry of water molecules in the hydrophobic cavity of nanotube. This is generally attributed to the rotational entropy gain by the water molecules on entering the tube, a fact which has not been demonstrated quantitatively so far. We show that the gain in rotational component of the entropy compensates the loss of energy of the water molecules upon entering the nanotube. In Chapter 7, we conclude by summarising the work done in the previous chapters and discuss the future course of actions. We would like to extend the studies on the diffusion of water inside finite nanotubes in the presence of bathwater outside, to nanotube lengths, where it is possible to observe the cross-over from an initial “single file” to and eventual, centre of mass dominated, “normal” diffusion. The mean field estimate of the length of the nanotube required so that one observes a crossover from the initial “single file” to “normal” diffusion at 100 ps is about 700 ˚A. Simulation of such a system would possibly provide an unambiguous answer to the question, whether it is possible to observe SFD in finite carbon nanotubes, filled with water. Regarding the reorientational dynamics, we would like to extend our understanding of the reorientational relaxation of water chains to more more complicated structures. Depending on the diameter of the confining nanotube water molecules form polygons of ice. In the present situation each water molecule can be in only two possible states of orientation. Hence, it would be interesting to predict the reorientational dynamics for other ice structures, where each water molecule can be more “orientational states”. In Chapter 8, we report a work which is unrelated to the rest of this thesis. The work has been done in collaboration with Prof. T. V. Ramakrishnan and Prof. Vijay B. Shenoy. We report a novel method for the calculation of elastic constants of a solid in the frame work of Ramakrishnan-Youssouf density functional theory. The structural aspect of the liquid to solid transition and how it affects the elastic constants of the solids is brought out very clearly. The calculation is analytical and we obtain explicit expressions for the elastic constants. The description of the solid is in terms of the structure factor, S(G), of the coexisting liquid. The elastic constants are expressed as a function of equilibrium parameters, such as c(0), relatedto the compressibility of the liquid. Another important quantity on which the elastic constants depend is the curvature, c"(|G|), of c(|q|)curve at its peak (q= G). These quantities are known experimentally for many systems, and can also be calculated accurately. The shear modulus depends only on c"(|G|), while the bulk modulus has contributions from both c"(|G|) and c(0). The obtained elastic constants do not satisfy the Cauchy relations, in that C12 is not equal to C44. Calculations have been performed for two-dimensional square and triangular lattices as well as bcc and fcc lattices in three dimensions. It is seen that in order to get good agreement between the theoretical and the experimental results of the elastic constants, three body correlations have to be introduced in the calculations for the bcc and the fcc lattices. For the last, in which two shells of reciprocal lattice vectors are appropriate, we point out the modifications needed for choosing the lattice parameter in the unstrained freezing problem. We obtain a new, first principles, quasiuniversal relation for elastic constants, scaled by the melting temperature, that is experimentally satisfied. It is similar to the famous Verlet criterion that S(|G|) = 2.9 at freezing and is free of some of the unphysical aspects of previous work.

In this thesis we have studied broadly two aspects of thermal field theory. We began by examining how the macroscopic system (described by relativistic hydrodynamics) behalves in presence of microscopic anomalies. We are able to relate macroscopic transport coefficients to the anomalous conservation equations of the microscopic theory. It is to be noted that, using the perturbative methods that we develop, we are able to relate both the mixed and pure gravitational anomalies to their respective transport coe fficients. Our results agree with other methods used to study this relationship. Using our perturbative approach, we are also able to understand the breakdown of the replacement rule for gravitino systems. Global anomalies instead of perturbative anomalies can also be used to x the macroscopic transport coefficients. By computing the global anomalies associated with particular systems, we were able to write down thermal effective actions which reproduce the anomalies. We show that such effective actions can be used to compute the transport coefficients and obtain a match with our perturbative results. We also provide a topological understanding of the replacement rule. As a further check of our formalism, we compute perturbatively using the formalism developed in [11], the anomalous transport coefficient (corresponding to pure gravitational anomaly) for self dual tensors in d = 6 and obtain a match with the global anomaly result. In the second part of the thesis we look at constraints that can be placed on spectral densities in a conformal field theory at fi nite temperature. Sum rules provide important constraints on spectral densities of any quantum field theory. We relate the weighted integral of spectral densities over frequency to the energy density of the theory. We show that the proportionality constant can be written down in terms of Hofman-Maldacena variables t2 and t4, which determine the three point function of stress tensors of a parity preserving CFT. For CFTs dual to two derivative Einstein gravity, we nd agreement of our sum rule derived from general conformal invariance with holographic methods. We also obtain correction to the holographic shear sum rule for theories with quadratic curvature corrections to the Einstein gravity. We extend the conformal collider physics formalism developed by Maldacena et al to study three point functions involving a stress tensor T, a U(1) current j, in 2 + 1 dimensional parity violating conformal field theories. We show that large N Chern Simons theories coupled to fundamental fermions/ bosons saturate our derived bounds. This is consistent with the observations that the scaling dimensions of spin operators in these theories saturate the unitarity bound ( s s + 1) and hence perhaps the conformal collider bounds as well.

The knowledge of the fundamental aspects of hydrodynamics at microscales is an exciting challenge. Some authors have published conflicting results concerning the friction and the thermal exchange coefficients, the transition to a turbulent flow regime (Qu et al. 2000, Mala and Di 1999, Papautsky et al. 1999). Some explanations, based on surface effects, have been proposed, but microeffects, if they are, are probably hidden by experimental artefacts. We aim at performing local measurements of pressure drops in monophasic microstreams. Precedent works (Baviere et al. 2003) have shown that a great care has to be taken with the intrepretation of anomalous or unexpected results, and that the metrological set up of these experiments is crucial. We have performed and tested cupro-nickel strain gauges micromachined on different sorts of silicon nitride membranes. The design of the gauges obeys an electrical Wheatstone bridge configuration. The experimental signals are in good agreement with the expected electromechanical response of the bridge. The sensitivity ranges from 50 to 100 μV/V/bar with a thermal drift below 0.011%.°C−1. Such sensors have been integrated along smooth and rough silicon microchannels with hydraulic diameter of 15 μm, and no deviation from the laminar regime has been observed with such local pressure sensors. The micromachining of these devices is described and the first local pressure drops measurements performed with deionized water of low electrical resistivity are presented and discussed.

The objective of this work is to investigate the performance of two pairs of negative dihedral surface-piercing (SP) hydrofoils designed especially for an unmanned surface vessel with a top speed of 120 knots in sea state two. Physical modeling of a 1/6-scaled model of the SP hydrofoil was conducted at the free-surface cavitation tunnel at the Technical University of Berlin (TUB). The SP hydrofoil feature a new type of super-cavitating profile with an annex tapered trailing edge to achieve good efficiencies in foil born conditions (60–120 knots, super-cavitating/ super-ventilated regimes), as well as at take-off speeds (25–40 knots, wetted and/or partial-cavitating regimes). Preliminary results showed interesting anomalies in the trends of the measured forces with respect to the cavitation number and angle of attack for a wide range of inflow speeds. Details of the experimental study are presented along with numerical predictions obtained using finite volume RANSE solver with a volume of fluid technique to allow for a mixture flow with air/vapor and water phases. Explanation of the anomalies in the hydrodynamic performance is given.

Geochemical and hydrogeological oil and gas exploration was carried out in the west of the Siberian platform in the basin of the river Podkamennaya Tun-guska, where 6 thousand groundwater sources and streams have been studied. The main informative hydrogeochemical indicators in the Tunguska basin in the upper hydrodynamic zone are: the type of water, the nature of mineralization, the content of chlorides, sulfates, bromine, iodine, some organic substances and microelements, as well as an indicator of water metamorphization. 150 hydrogeochemical anomalies associated mainly with geodynamic active zones have been established. In general, all the studied hydrogeochemical indicators indicate a good closure of deep horizons and a favorable environment for the preservation of deposits in the depths of local positive structures.

A description is given of the wave processes in the interaction of the tail of the Earth's magnetosphere with the dusty exosphere of the Moon. The significance of the lower-hybrid waves appears in this case. It is found that the development of linear hydrodynamic instability leads to the excitation of the lower-hybrid waves. Furthermore, the development of the instability is due to the relative motion of magnetosphere ions and charged dust particles. The processes of development of lower-hybrid turbulence, which is considered from the standpoint of strong turbulence, are investigated. Based on wave-ion interaction, the effective collision frequency which characterizes the anomalous loss of ion momentum is determined. Moreover, the electric fields which arise in the region of interaction of the dusty plasma near the Moon and the Earth's magnetosphere are evaluated. The excitation of the electric fields produced due to the development of lower-hybrid turbulence is thought to play a significant role from the viewpoint of the electric field pattern at the Moon. The effects of lower-hybrid turbulence in the near-surface lunar dusty plasma should be taken into account when interpreting the observational data.

Now many laboratories pay a great attention to investigation of ultrashort laser pulse-matter interaction. We consider this interaction with condenced targets in vacuum. In this paper the results of absorption and conversion efficiency into X-ray are presented for a broad range of experimental parameters. The situation is studied when the contrast of laser pulse is sufficiently high. We have developed a simulation code for investigation of this interaction by the solution of Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation for electron distribution function. Our study of heating process of dense plasma predicts high heating rate of electrons due to heat conductivity inhibition in the regime of anomal skin effect. The most common regim of the normal skin effect with continuous density profile at the plasma-vacuum boundary has been studied via numerical simulations, using our code. We have presented the numerical results and the approximate analytical solutions of the P-polarized radiation absorption problem with the parameters of extinguishing and density lying in sufficiently broad ranges. Our results predict absorption efficiency values, which are in agreement with our and another numerical data and experimental results too. We include full radiation terms (bremsstrahlung, recombination and line mechanisms) in the description of the decay phase high dense plasma targets. The hydrodynamic simulations with radiation transport are conducted to study the X-ray emmission and plasma cooling after the end of the laser pulse. The conversion efficiency into X-rays is shown to fall with laser intensity for light target materials in conditions, when invers bremsstrahlung absorption is dominant. On the other hand, when anomalous absorption prevails and havy target material is used, the conversion efficiency increases with laser intensity.
