Basset-Boussinesq history force of a fluid sphere

An efficient, second order method for the approximation of the Basset history force

The hydrodynamic forces exerted by a fluid on small isolated rigid spherical particles are usually well described by the Maxey-Riley (MR) equation. The most time-consuming contribution in the MR equation is the Basset history force which is a well-known problem for many-particle simulations in turbulence. In this paper a novel numerical approach is proposed for the computation of the Basset his...

the pathology of historical texts translation: a study of persian translations of 7th volume of cambridge history of iran

ترجمه با گسترش زبان آغاز شده و اهمیت آن روز به روز افزایش می یابد، و برای اولین بار به عنوان شاخه ای از دانش و روشی برای انتقال علوم، فرهنگ و تجربه در در دوره قاجار در ایران آغاز شد. در حقیقت متون تاریخی از اولین متونی هستند که در ایران ترجمه شدند چرا که به سیاستمداران آن دوره کمک می کردند تا به علل موفقیت جهان غرب و پیشرفت هایشان در طول تاریخ پی ببرند، بنابراین به تدریج ترجمه این گونه متون رون...

Capillary force on a micrometric sphere trapped at a fluid interface exhibiting arbitrary curvature gradients.

We report theoretical predictions and measurements of the capillary force acting on a spherical colloid smaller than the capillary length that is placed on a curved fluid interface of arbitrary shape. By coupling direct imaging and interferometry, we are able to measure the in situ colloid contact angle and to correlate its position with respect to the interface curvature. Extremely tiny capill...

Gaussian statistics of the hard-sphere fluid

By computer simulation of the hard-sphere fluid, we have determined the probabilities of observing N molecular centers within molecular sized volumes of the fluid. These probability distributions are found to be almost exactly Gaussian at medium densities. A maximum entropy prediction constructed from knowledge of the first two moments of the distribution and a prior distribution consistent wit...
