چکیده
In a recent experiment by Manoharan et al. [1], a small number N of spherical particles (diameter of about one micron) located at the surface of an oil droplet self-assemble due to the evaporation of the droplet. Such process leads to final packings of spheres which are unique and, for N ≤ 11, equivalent to the minimal second moment clusters as studied by Sloane et al. [2]. Because such simple experimental process could be used to generate building blocks of a given number of particles at the micron or even nanometer scale, it is of fundamental interest to determine the parameters responsible for the packing selection.

In the following, the collective dynamical behaviour of many convex and non-convex polyhedral bodies in space is described. To be able to simulate a high number of bodies, methods from Molecular Dynamics (MD) are frequently used. Here these methods are combined with collision detection methods and contact formulations adopted from Multibody Systems (MBS). The used methods are presented briefly ...

The major objective of this study was, using the modern numerical techniques, to investigate transport processes of heat and mass transfer within an infant incubator, were the premature newborn baby is nursed. This investigation consists of calculations of the air flow inside the incubator, including coupled heat transfer due to heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation and evaporation. Ob...

We consider pattern and attractor control in nonlinear dissipative systems. We develop an analytic approach to attractor control for neural, genetic networks systems of coupled oscillators and spatially extended systems. In particular, we apply this method for some systems of Ginzburg-Landau’s type and others.

A neutrally buoyant particle in pipe flow is known to undergo a radial migration for finite Reynolds number flows. This effect was first observed by Segré and Silberberg (1962), who noted a radial equilibrium position at a radius r = 0.6R in a pipe of radius R, in conditions of finite but low Re. These results have been extended to show that the equilibrium position of the particles is moved to...

This paper is concerned with the experimental identification of some chemoporoelastic parameters of a chemically reactive shale from data obtained in pore pressure transmission-chemical potential tests. The parameter identification is carried out by matching the observed pressure response with a theoretical solution of the experiment. This solution is obtained within the framework of Biot theor...
