Chiral sedimentation of extended objects in viscous media.
We study theoretically the chirality of a generic rigid object's sedimentation in a fluid under gravity in the low Reynolds number regime. We represent the object as a collection of small Stokes spheres or stokeslets and the gravitational force as a constant point force applied at an arbitrary point of the object. For a generic configuration of stokeslets and forcing point, the motion takes a s...
متن کاملAuxiliary Potentials In Chiral Media
In the present paper, the expressions for scalar and vector potentials in lossless isotropic chiral media are analyzed. Propagating eigenvalues of these potentials are then obtained. Furthermore by decomposition of sources and fields in a chiral medium, we introduce the auxiliary right-and left-handed potentials and find the associated fields. These potentials are used to solve the problem of a...
متن کاملStability of Rarefaction Waves in Viscous Media
We study the time-asymptotic behavior of weak rarefaction waves of systems with strictly hyperbolic ux functions in one dimensional viscous uids. Our main result is to show that solutions of perturbed rarefaction data converge to an approximate, \Burgers"-rarefaction wave, for initial perturbations w 0 with small mass and localized as w 0 (x) = O(jxj ?1). The proof proceeds by iteration of a po...
متن کاملExtended Objects in MQCD
N = 1 supersymmetric QCD is considered using the recently proposed picture of it as the world volume theory of a single M-theory fivebrane with two of its dimensions wrapped on a Riemann surface. The conditions under which a second M-theory brane can be introduced preserving some supersymmetry are analysed. Such configurations represent BPS saturated extended objects in the quantum field theory...
متن کاملQuasi-Static Theory for Uniaxial Chiral Omega Media
The problem of unbounded uniaxial chiral omega media in the presence of both static electric and magnetic point charges is investigated. For this purpose scalar electric and magnetic potentials in these media are introduced. Using these potentials, the corresponding electric and magnetic fields are determined. The similar problem of static electric and magnetic current sources with the goal of ...
