: In this paper, we use an atomistic approach to investigate strain distributions, single particle and many body electronic properties of InAs/InP nanowire quantum dots with substrate orientation varying from [111] to high-index [119], and compared with [001] case. We show that single particle gap for high-index [11k] substrates is increased with respect to [111] and [001] cases, and oscillates...

In this paper, we study biased diffusion of point Brownian particles in a three-dimensional comb-like structure formed by a main cylindrical tube with identical periodic cylindrical dead ends. It is assumed that the dead ends are thin cylinders whose radius is much smaller than both the radius of the main tube and the distance between neighboring dead ends. It is also assumed that in the main t...

The three-field reduced fluid model was extended to describe the resistive drift wave turbulence in magnetized cylindrical plasmas. There include multiple energy exchange paths, and two kinds of nonlinear steady states were obtained in simulations with a fixed particle source: one with a zonal flow generated by modulational coupling of various unstable modes, which suppress transport, and the o...

langevin equation for a nano-particle suspended in a laminar fluid flow was analytically studied. the brownian motion generated from molecular bombardment was taken as a wiener stochastic process and approximated by a gaussian white noise. euler-maruyama method was used to solve the langevin equation numerically. the accuracy of brownian simulation was checked by performing a series of simulati...

The dynamics of particle–particle collisions in a viscous fluid are numerically investigated. A distributed-Lagrange-multiplier-based computational method in a solid-fluid system is developed and a collision strategy for general shape objects is presented. In earlier methods, a repulsive force is applied to the particles when their separation is less than a critical value and, depending on the ...

Electromagnetic processes associated with a charged particle moving in a strong circular magnetic field are considered in cylindrical coordinates. We investigate the relation between the vacuum curvature emission and Cherenkov emission and argue that, for the superluminal motion of a particle in the inhomogeneous magnetic field in a dielectric, the combined effects of magnetic field inhomogenei...

The conversion and utilization of biomass as an alternative source of energy have been subjects of interest in various countries, but technical barriers to the technology and design of conversion plants have considerably impeded the development and use of alternative power sources. Theoretical studies on the conversion process enhance our understanding of the thermochemical conversion of solid ...

In rotating filtration, which is based on supercritical cylindrical Couette flow with a rotating porous inner cylinder, the motion of particles in the suspension depends on both centrifugal sedimentation and transport due to the vortical motion of Taylor vortices. We have simulated the motion of dilute, rigid, spherical particles in Taylor Couette flow using computational particle tracking in a...

The upflow microbial fuel cell (MFC) system with membrane-free air-cathode was developed, and landfill leachate as fuel. The anode was made of stainless steel mesh filled with activated carbon, and carbon felt as the cathode. Electricity production performance of MFC with cylindrical stainless steel mesh anode filled with 0 (unfilled), 1mm, and 3mm cylindrical activated carbon particles was inv...

A numerical simulation of the Mechanofusion (MF) device, which is used for powder surface modification (dry particle coating, mixing, etc.), is carried out using the discrete element modeling (DEM) technique. An existing, widely used, cohesionless contact model (Walton– Braun) is used for two-dimensional simulation studies, in which the particles are assumed to be frictional, elastic-plastic sp...
