Measuring the rheology of liquids typically requires precise control over shear rates and stresses. Here, we describe an alternative route for predicting the characteristic features of a power-law fluid by simply observing the capillary…
In this paper, we investigate the well-posedness of weak solutions to the time-fractional Fokker-Planck equation. Its dynamics is governed by anomalous diffusion, and we consider the most general case of space-time dependent forces.…
We study stationary solutions to the continuity equation for weakly compressible flows. These describe non-equilibrium steady states of weakly dissipative dynamical systems. Compressibility is a singular perturbation that changes the steady…
As was recently shown in Ref. 1, many eigenstates of a random Rydberg gas with resonant dipole-dipole interactions are highly delocalized. Although the high degree of delocalization is generic to various types of power-law interactions and…
