چکیده
We consider extensions of excluded volume interactions for complex corpora that generalize simple rod-like particles. The Onsager equation can be defined for quite general configuration spaces, and the dimension reduction of the phase space in the limit of highly intense interaction can be shown. The formalism describes both freely articulated and interacting N-rods and the example of interacting 2-rods is given in detail.

متن کاملHölder Continuity of Solutions of 2D Navier-Stokes Equations with Singular Forcing
We discuss the regularity of solutions of 2D incompressible NavierStokes equations forced by singular forces. The problem is motivated by the study of complex fluids modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations coupled to a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation describing microscopic corpora embedded in the fluid. This leads naturally to bounded added stress and hence to W forcing of the Navier-Stokes equ...
متن کاملSmoluchowski Navier-Stokes Systems
We discuss equilibria, dynamics and regularity for Smoluchowski equations coupled to Navier-Stokes equations. Introduction We consider mixtures of fluids and microscopic inclusions. The microscopic inclusions are characterized by state variables m ∈ M , where M is a compact smooth Riemannian manifold without boundary. The simplest example is that of microscopic rods with directors m ∈ S. The mi...
متن کاملOn the high intensity limit of interacting corpora
We characterize the high intensity limits of minimal free energy states for interacting corpora – that is, for objects with finitely many degrees of freedom, such as articulated rods. These limits are measures supported on zero-level-sets of the interaction potential. We describe a selection mechanism for the limits that is mediated by evanescent entropic contributions. MSC 2000 classification ...
متن کامل8 On the zero temperature limit of interacting corpora
We characterize the zero-temperature limits of minimal free energy states for interacting corpora – that is, for objects with finitely many degrees of freedom, such as articulated rods. These limits are measures supported on zero-level-sets of the interaction potential. We describe a selection mechanism for the limits that is mediated by evanescent entropic contributions.
