Virial theorem for rotating self-gravitating Brownian particles and two-dimensional point vortices
Abstract. We derive the proper form of Virial theorem for a system of rotating self-gravitating Brownian particles. We show that, in the two-dimensional case, it takes a very simple form that can be used to obtain general results about the dynamics of the system without being required to solve the Smoluchowski-Poisson system explicitly. We also develop the analogy between selfgravitating system...
متن کاملRESEARCH NOTE - Virial coefficients of Onsager crosses
Onsager crosses are particles formed by rigidly connecting three perpendicular, elongated rods of length L and diameter D . We have investigated the behaviour of the virial coe cients of Onsager crosses as a function of the aspect ratio L /D of the rods. The interest in these particles stems from the fact that they should exhibit a cubatic liquid crystalline phase in the limit (L /D ) ® ¥ . It...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Brownian vortices
We introduce a stochastic model of two-dimensional Brownian vortices associated with the canonical ensemble. The point vortices evolve through their usual mutual advection but they experience in addition a random velocity and a systematic drift generated by the system as a whole. The statistical equilibrium state of this stochastic model is the Gibbs canonical distribution. We consider a single...
متن کاملVortices in Two-dimensional Nematics
Abstract. We study a two-dimensional model describing spatial variations of orientational ordering in nematic liquid crystals. In particular, we show that the spatially extended OnsagerMaier-Saupe free energy may be decomposed into Landau-de Gennes-type and relative entropy-type contributions. We then prove that in the high concentration limit the states of the system display characteristic vor...
متن کاملDynamics of Vortices in Two-Dimensional Magnets
Theories, simulations and experiments on vortex dynamics in quasi-two-dimensional magnetic materials are reviewed. These materials can be modelled by the classical two-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg model with XY (easy-plane) symmetry. There are two types of vortices, characterized by their polarization (a second topological charge in addition to the vorticity): Planar vortices have Newtoni...
