Stochastic Flights of Propellers
Kilometer-sized moonlets in Saturn’s A ring create S-shaped wakes called “propellers” in surrounding material. The Cassini spacecraft has tracked the motions of propellers for several years and finds that they deviate from Keplerian orbits having constant semimajor axes. The inferred orbital migration is known to switch sign. We show using a statistical test that the time series of orbital long...
متن کاملOn the maximum efficiency of the propeller mass-ejection mechanism
Aims. We derive simple estimates of the maximum efficiency with which matter can be ejected by the propeller mechanism in disk-fed, rotating magnetic neutron stars. Some binary evolution scenarios envisage that this mechanism is responsible for expelling to infinity the mass inflowing at a low rate from the companion star, therefore limiting the total amount of mass that can be accreted by the ...
متن کاملOn the Practical Efficiency of Various Maximum Flow Algorithms
We investigate the practical efficiency of various maximum flow algorithms by a great number of systematica11y-designed computational experiments, where we develop and summarize the techniques useful for solving the problem in practice. The methods implemented are depth-fIrst search, breadth-fIrst search, Dinic's, Karzanov's, three Indians' and Galil and Naamad's. We conclude that, among the im...
متن کاملConfinement-induced enhancement of diffusiophoretic forces on self-propellers
We study the effect of spatial confinement on the strength of propulsive diffusiophoretic forces acting on a particle that generates density gradients by exploiting the chemical free energy of its environment. Using a recently proposed simple model of a self-propelling device driven by chemical reactions taking place on some parts of its surface, we demonstrate that the force significantly incr...
متن کاملEfficiency of molecular motors at maximum power
Molecular motors transduce chemical energy obtained from hydrolizing ATP into mechanical work exerted against an external force. We calculate their efficiency at maximum power output for two simple generic models and show that the qualitative behaviour depends crucially on the position of the transition state or, equivalently, on the load distribution factor. Specifically, we find a transition ...
