PRESSURE UPON VERTICAL WALLS FROM OVERTOPPING WAVES

Natural Convection Heat Transfer From Horizontal Cylinders in a Vertical Arra Confined Between Parallel Walls

Laminar natural convection from an array of horizontal isothermal cylinders confined between two vertical walls, at low Rayleigh numbers, is investigated by theoretical and numerical methods. The height of the walls is kept constant, however, number of the cylinders and their spacing, the distance between the walls and Rayleigh number have been varied. The optimal spacing (confining walls) and ...

A Review of Gravitational Waves from Cosmic Domain Walls

In this contribution, we discuss the cosmological scenario where unstable domain walls are formed in the early universe and their late-time annihilation produces a significant amount of gravitational waves. After describing cosmological constraints on long-lived domain walls, we estimate the typical amplitude and frequency of gravitational waves observed today. We also review possible extension...

Interaction of gravitational waves with domain walls

We study the gravitational perturbations of thick domain walls. The refraction index and spin properties of the solutions interior to the wall are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the gravitational waves suffer a refraction process by domain walls. The reflection and transmission coefficients are derived in the thin wall limit. In relation to the spin content, it is shown that the ‘×’ helic...
