The dynamics of confined glassforming liquids is discussed on the basis of the recent extension of the mode coupling theory for the liquid-glass transition to the model of the quenched-annealed binary mixture. It is in particular shown that, in confinement, the density correlation functions always decay to a non-zero infinite time value, even in the fluid state, and some clarification is given ...

We present experimental observations of the spatial distribution large inertial particles suspended in a turbulent swirling flow at high Reynolds number. The plastic are heavier than working fluid so that their dynamics results from competition between gravitation and agitation. Two suspension regimes observed. At low rotation rate confined near bottom for any size or density. rate, loosely con...

We investigate the properties of r-mode oscillations of a slowly rotating neutron star with a solid crust, by taking account of the effects of the Coriolis force. For the modal analysis we employ three-component neutron star models that are composed of a fluid core, a solid crust and a surface fluid ocean. For the three-component models, we find that there exist two kinds of r-modes, that is, t...
