On the basis of laboratory simulation a mechanism is established for the formation of the upper mantle convection spiral plumes from a hot point in the presence of a roll-type large-scale convective flow. The observed plume has horizontal…
The particle flux through a two micron diameter orifice into vacuum from a source chamber filled with solid He exhibits a striking periodic behavior similar to that of a geyser. This phenomenon is attributed to a periodic collapse of the…
We present a new particle based code with a multi-phase description of the ISM implemented in order to follow the chemo-dynamical evolution of galaxies. The multi-phase ISM consists of clouds (sticky particles) and diffuse gas (SPH):…
The moon-forming impact and the subsequent evolution of the proto-Earth is strongly dependent on the properties of materials at the extreme conditions generated by this violent collision. We examine the high pressure behavior of MgO, one of…
In Earth's mantle gravity instabilities initiated by density inversion lead to upwelling of hot materials as plumes. This study focuses upon the problem of their ascent dynamics to provide an explanation of the periodic multiple eruption…
In this work, the spallation processes in the ductile metals are systematically discussed in theory. By employing the phase transition theory and non-equilibrium transport theory, the spallation processes of ductile metals under dynamic…
The classical problem of thermal explosion is modified so that the chemically active gas is not at rest but is flowing in a long cylindrical pipe. Up to a certain section the heat-conducting walls of the pipe are held at low temperature so…
The line of phase equilibrium between the hot and cold phases of a plasma is derived from the intensity of thermal radiation as a function of the plasma density and temperature. The last function is obtained with the help of the condition…
Volcanic ash clouds often become multilayered and thin with distance from the vent. We explore one mechanism for development of this layered structure. We review data on the characteristics of turbulence layering in the free atmosphere, as…
A common situation in galactic and intergalactic gas involves cold dense gas in motion relative to hot diffuse gas. Kelvin-Helmholtz instability creates a turbulent mixing layer and populates the intermediate-temperature phase, which often…
Explosive energy release is a common phenomenon occurring in magnetized plasma systems ranging from laboratories, Earth's magnetosphere, the solar corona and astrophysical environments. Its physical explanation is usually attributed to…
The formula for the number density of vacancies in a solid under pressure is obtained. The mean number density of vacancies in a solid under stress or tension is also estimated. The dissolution of the vacancy gas in solids is shown to be…
Observations show that (i) multiple gas phases can coexist in the atmospheres of galaxies and clusters; (ii) these atmospheres may be significantly rotating in the inner parts, with typical velocities that approach or even exceed the local…
The melting of 2D dust clusters caused by one additional particle in the lower layer has experimentally been observed to undergo a two-step transition, which divides the phase of the cluster into three stages. The first transition is a jump…
We review the formation of large-scale heterogeneity in the solid Earth from the magma ocean phase to the present day, focusing on lower-mantle structure and evolution, as well as continental formation and its impact on interior-exterior…
Magma oceans are episodes of large-scale melting of the mantle of terrestrial planets. The energy delivered by the Moon-forming impact induced a deep magma ocean on the young Earth, corresponding to the last episode of core-mantle…
Mechanical relaxation behaviour of various natural volcanic glasses have been investigated in the temperature range RT-1200K using special low frequency flexure (f~0.63Hz) pendulum experiments. The rheological properties complex Young's…
The present paper seeks to determine the mechanism of flame acceleration and transition to detonation when a turbulent flame preceded by a shock interacts with a single obstruction in its path, taken as a cylindrical obstacle or a wall in…
We report experimental measurements of the acoustic emission associated with the bursting of a gas bubble at the free surface of a non-newtonian fluid. On account of the viscoelastic properties of the fluid, the bubble is generally…
We report the combined results of experiments and molecular dynamics simulations conducted to investigate superheating phenomena in vertically vibrated granular matter. Specifically, we consider a system of cubic particles densely packed in…
