A calculation of the bulk viscosity for the massive Gross-Neveu model at zero fermion chemical potential is presented in the large-$N$ limit. This model resembles QCD in many important aspects: it is asymptotically free, has a dynamically…

We investigate freely expanding viscoelastic sheets. The sheets are produced by the impact of drops on a quartz plate covered with a thin layer of liquid nitrogen that suppresses shear viscous dissipation as a result of the cold Leidenfrost…
Tidal tails composed of stars should be unstable to the Jeans instability and this can cause them to look like beads on a string. The Jeans wavelength and tail diameter determine the wavelength and growth rate of the fastest growing…
The manuscript focuses on the theoretical stability analysis of the viscous liquid over a vibrating inclined rigid bed when the fluid undergoes an impact of odd viscosity. Such an impact emerges in the classical fluid owing to the broken…
