Stirring two grains of sand*
Consider two unit balls in a d-dimensional flat torus with edge length r, for d ≥ 2. The balls do not move by themselves but they are pushed by a Brownian motion. The balls never intersect—they reflect if they touch. It is proved that the joint distribution of the processes representing the centers of the balls converges to the distribution of two independent Brownian motions when r →∞, assumin...
متن کاملBiofilm origin of clay-coated sand grains
The presence of clay-sized particles and clay minerals in modern sands and ancient sandstones has long presented an interesting problem, because primary depositional processes tend to lead to physical separation of fineand coarse-grained materials. Numerous processes have been invoked to explain the common presence of clay minerals in sandstones, including infiltration, the codeposition of floc...
متن کاملOptical vortex solitons: experiment versus theory
We present a brief overview of recent experimental and theoretical results on optical vortex solitons (in particular, those recently obtained at the Australian National University). Special attention is paid to a direct comparison between the experimental data on the structure and motion of vortex solitons created as localized structures in a diffracting Gaussian beam and the theory based on th...
متن کاملRing dark solitary waves: experiment versus theory.
Experimental results on optical ring dark solitary wave dynamics are presented, emphasizing the interplay between initial dark beam contrast, total phase shift, background-beam intensity, and saturation of the nonlinearity. The results are found to confirm qualitatively the existing analytical theory and are in agreement with the numerical simulations carried out.
متن کاملQuantifying stochastic resonance: theory versus experiment.
We discuss different quantifiers of stochastic resonance (SR) and how far they are mathematically related with each other. Specifically, we address bona fide SR in terms of the areas of the hysteresis loops and of the first peaks in the residence time distributions. We demonstrate a surprisingly good agreement of these two SR quantifiers experimentally for colloidal particles in periodically mo...
