Three-dimensional kinetic simulations of relativistic magnetostatic equilibria

On the Existence of Three-dimensional Hydrostatic and Magnetostatic Equilibria of Self-gravitating Fluid Bodies

We develop an analytical spectral method to solve the equations of equilibrium for a self-gravitating, magnetized fluid body, under the only hypotheses that (a) the equation of state is isothermal, (b) the configuration is scale-free, and (c) the body is electrically neutral. All physical variables are represented as series of scalar and vector spherical harmonics of degree l and order m, and t...

Parallel computation of three-dimensional nonlinear magnetostatic problems

We describe a general-purpose parallel electromagnetic code for computing accurate solutions to large computationally demanding, 3D, nonlinear magnetostatic problems. The code, CORAL, is based on a volume integral equation formulation. Using an IBM SP parallel computer and iterative solution methods, we successfully solved the dense linear systems inherent in such formulations. A key component ...

Computational simulations of nanoparticle transport in a three-dimensional capillary network

Objective(s): Multifunctional nanomedicine is the new generation of medicine, which is remarkably promising and associated with the minimum toxicity of targeted therapy. Distribution and transport of nanoparticles (NPs) in the blood flow are essential to the evaluation of delivery efficacy. Materials and Methods: In the present study, we initially designed a phantom based on Murray’s mini...

Three-dimensional simulations of jets

We present three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of an hydrodynamical supersonic jet, comparing them to analogous results obtained in two dimensions. The differences seen between three-dimensional and two-dimensional jet evolution including faster evolution, enhanced mixing and larger jet momentum depletion, are interpreted in terms of specific physical differences between these two ca...
