Experimentalists now measure intense rotations of Lagrangian particles in turbulent flows by tracking their trajectories and Lagrangian-average velocity gradients at high Reynolds numbers. This paper formulates the dynamics of an orthonormal frame attached to each Lagrangian fluid particle undergoing three-axis rotations, by using quaternions in combination with Ertel’s theorem for frozen-in vo...

We have investigated the vortex dynamics in superconducting thin film devices with non-uniform patterns of artificial pinning centers (APCs). The magneto-transport properties of a conformal crystal and a randomly diluted APC pattern are compared with that of a triangular reference lattice. We have found that in both cases the magneto-resistance below the first matching field of the triangular r...

Abstract Thermally activated escape of a Brownian particle over potential barrier is well understood within Kramers theory. When subjected to an external magnetic field, the Lorentz force slows down dynamics via rescaling diffusion coefficient without affecting exponential dependence on height. Here, we study charged from two-dimensional truncated harmonic under influence due field. The driven ...

The paper examines the prospects of using laser plasmas for studying novel regimes of the magnetic field line reconnection and charged particle acceleration. Basic features of plasma dynamics in the three-dimensional configurations relevant to the formation of current sheets in a plasma are addressed by analyzing exact self-similar solutions of the magneto-hydrodynamics and electron magneto-hyd...

In the present article I would like to stress on the potential research agenda for lasting reforms in the area of computational fluid dynamics. On the theoretical frameworks, I have tried to propose that a scope for lots of research is needed in this area of stretching sheet in fluid dynamics. On the basis of varied problem domains carried out in various researches in the past, I have proposed ...

Ultrafast spin dynamics in ferromagnetic half-metallic compound Sr 2 FeMoO 6 is investigated by pump-probe measurements of magneto-optical Kerr effect. Anomalous thermal insulation between spins and electrons due to half-metallic nature of this material gives rise to a very slow spin relaxation from a few to several-hundred picosecond after the optical excitation. The optically detected magneti...
