This paper is concerned with an interaction problem between a full compressible, electrically conducting fluid and a thermoelastic shell in a two-dimensional setting. The shell is modelled by linear thermoelasticity equations, and…
In this work we examine thermodynamics of fluid with "molecules" represented by two fused hard spheres, decorated by the attractive square-well sites. Interactions between these sites are of short-range and cause association between the…
