”Centrifugal force: A gedanken experiment”—new surprises
نویسنده
چکیده
A recently proposed gedanken experiment [G.Z. Machabeli and A.D. Rogava. Phys. Rev. A 50, 98 (1994)], exhibiting surprising behavior, is reexamined. A description of this behavior in terms of the laboratory inertial frame is presented, avoiding uncertainties arising due to a definition of a centrifugal force in relativity. The surprising analogy with the radial geodesic motion in Schwarzschild geometry is found. The definition of the centrifugal force, suggested by J.C. Miller and M.A. Abramowicz, is discussed. 03.30.+p, 04.20.Cv, 95.30.Sf, 97.60.Gb Typeset using REVTEX 1

Effect of the centrifugal force on domain chaos in Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Experiments and simulations from a variety of sample sizes indicated that the centrifugal force significantly affects the domain-chaos state observed in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection-patterns. In a large-aspect-ratio sample, we observed a hybrid state consisting of domain chaos close to the sample center, surrounded by an annulus of nearly stationary nearly radial rolls populated by occas...
متن کاملAdaptive Nonlinear Control of a Ball and Beam System Using the Centrifugal Force Term
There have been several results on the nonlinear control of a ball and beam system. However, the existing methods often consider a simplified model, and particularly they neglect the centrifugal force term. In this paper, we propose a full-model based adaptive state feedback controller with dynamic gain in order to control the ball and beam system using the centrifugal force term. The dynamic g...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation on Effects of Electromagnetic Force on the Centrifugal Casting Process of High Speed Steel Roll
A three-dimensional mathematical and physical model coupling with the heat transfer and the flow of molten metal in the centrifugal casting of the high speed steel roll was established by using CFD software FLUENT. It can be used to analyze the distribution of the temperature filed and the flow filed in the centrifugal casting under the gravity, the electromagnetic stirring force and the centri...
متن کاملSedimentation for Analysis and Separation of Macromolecules
A ‘centrifugal force’ as experienced by particles in a centrifuge actually reflects the natural tendency of the particle to move in a straight line in the absence of external forces. If we view the experiment in the (fixed) reference frame of the laboratory, we observe that the particle is deflected from a linear trajectory by a centripetal force (directed toward the central axis of the rotor)....
متن کاملTravelling circular waves in axisymmetric rotating convection
Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a finite rotating cylinder of moderate aspect ratio (radius four times the depth) is investigated numerically for a fluid of Prandtl number equal to 7 (corresponding essentially to water). We consider the effects of rotation from both the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force and find that the centrifugal force plays a significant dynamic role. In this initial s...
