We illustrate an atomistic periodic two-dimensional stationary shear flow, $u_x = \langle \ \dot x \ \rangle = \dot \epsilon y$, using the simplest possible example, the periodic shear of just two particles ! We use a short-ranged…
Flows on the moduli space of the algebraic Riemann surfaces, preserving the periods of the corresponding solutions of the soliton equations are studied. We show that these flows are gradient with respect to some indefinite symmetric flat…
A physically-based method to derive well-posed instances of the two-fluid transport equations for two-phase flow, from the Hamilton principle, is presented. The state of the two-fluid flow is represented by the superficial velocity and the…
The evolution of the discrete Wigner function is formally similar to a probabilistic process, but the transition probabilities, like the discrete Wigner function itself, can be negative. We investigate these transition probabilities, as…
A nonequilibrium statistical operator method is developed for ensembles of particles obeying non-Hamiltonian equations of motion in classical phase space. The main consequences of non-zero compressibility of phase space are examined in…
We investigate the sedimentation properties of quasi-neutrally buoyant inertial particles carried by incompressible zero-mean fluid flows. We obtain generic formulae for the terminal velocity in generic space-and-time periodic (or steady)…
We discuss the implications of a model of noncommutative Quantum Mechanics where noncommutativity is extended to the phase space. We analyze how this model affects the problem of the two-dimensional gravitational quantum well and use the…
We investigate a one dimensional flow described with the non-compressible coupled Euler and non-compressible Navier-Stokes equations in Cartesian coordinate systems. We couple the two fluids through the continuity equation where different…
A quantum state can be written in phase space, but the resulting object is not generally the probability density of a positive stochastic process on ordinary phase space. We spell this out for Wigner dynamics. If a positive phase-space…
The concept of phase space distribution functions and their evolution is used in the case of en enlarged phase space. In particular, we include the intrinsic spin of particles and present a quantum kinetic evolution equation for a scalar…
The classical Helmholtz problem is applied for modelling the axisymmetric inviscid cusp-ended separated flow around a sphere. Two coordinate systems are employed: polar for initial calculations and parabolic the latter being more suitable…
Motivated by the conjectured Penrose inequality and by the work of Hawking, Geroch, Huisken and Ilmanen in the null and the Riemannian case, we examine necessary conditions on flows of two-surfaces in spacetime under which the Hawking…
Within quantum mechanics which works with parity-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians we study the tunneling in a symmetric double well formed by two delta functions with complex conjugate strengths. The model is exactly solvable and exhibits…
We extend the Wigner-Weyl-Moyal phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics to general curved configuration spaces. The underlying phase space is based on the chosen coordinates of the manifold and their canonically conjugate momenta. The…
We develop a quantum kinetic theory of two-dimensional electron gases in which exchange is treated self-consistently at the Hartree-Fock level and enters as a nonlocal, momentum-dependent field in phase space. By starting from the Coulomb…
We apply the method of flow equations to describe quantum systems subject to a time-periodic drive with a time-dependent envelope. The driven Hamiltonian is expressed in terms of its constituent Fourier harmonics with amplitudes that may…
We give a formulation of quantum ergodicity for Pauli Hamiltonians with arbitrary spin in terms of a Wigner-Weyl calculus. The corresponding classical phase space is the direct product of the phase space of the translational degrees of…
In this manuscript we study the Wehrl entropy of entangled oscillators. This semiclassical entropy associated with the phase-space description of quantum mechanics can be used for formulating uncertainty relations and for a quantification…
We numerically demonstrate the unidirectional flow of flat-top solitons when interacting with two reflectionless potential wells with slightly different depths. The system is described by a nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with dual…
Particles moving inside a fluid near, and interacting with, invariant manifolds is a common phenomenon in a wide variety of applications. One elementary question is whether we can determine once a particle has entered a neighbourhood of an…
