Certain recent semi-classical theories of spin-half quantum plasmas are examined with regard to their internal consistency, physical applicability and relevance to fusion, astrophysical and condensed matter plasmas. It is shown that the…
This work presents a comparative study of the best models available to describe granular fluids in order to investigate the extent to which it makes sense to speak about a liquid-gas transition in a system of particles that present no…
Drift-reduced plasma fluid models are commonly used in plasma physics for analytics and simulations; however, the validity of such models must be verified for the regions of parameter space in which tokamak plasmas exist. By looking at the…
The ambipolar diffusion approximation is used to model partially ionised plasma dynamics in a single fluid setting. To correctly apply the commonly used version of ambipolar diffusion, a set of criteria should be satisfied including the…
When modeling astrophysical fluid flows, it is often appropriate to discard the canonical magnetohydrodynamic approximation thereby freeing the magnetic field to diffuse with respect to the bulk velocity field. As a consequence, however,…
This comment is devoted to the paper "Exact solutions of nonlinear diffusion-convection-reaction equation: A Lie symmetry approach" (CNSNS, vol. 67 (2019), 253-263) in which several results are not new because were derived much earlier.…
Real data are constrained to finite sampling rates, which calls for a suitable mathematical description of the corrections to the finite-time estimations of the dynamic equations. Often in the literature, lower order discrete time…
In this paper, two approaches for modeling three-component fluid flows using diffusive interface method are discussed. Thermodynamic consistency of the proposed models is preserved when using an energetic variational framework to derive the…
Lagrangian motions of fluid particles in a general velocity field oscillating in time are studied with the use of the two-timing method. Our aims are: (i) to calculate systematically the most general and practically usable asymptotic…
Inconsistencies are pointed out in a recent proposal [L. Diosi, Phys. Rev. A 80, 064104 (2009); arXiv:0905.3908v1] for a quantum version of the classical linear Boltzmann equation.
A detailed description and validation of a recently developed integration scheme is here reported for one- and two-dimensional reaction-diffusion models. As paradigmatic examples of this class of partial differential equations the complex…
The problem of reconstructing the time dependence of the dynamic pressure of a plasma jet impinging on one end of a solid rod based on the measured displacement of the opposite end has been solved. This solution allows for a reduction in…
This article is an invitation. It is, first, an invitation to consider as a subject worthy of attention the wide range of situations where small discrete elements, either bubbles, droplets or solid particles, are embedded in turbulent…
We study the time-averaged flow in a model of particles that randomly hop on a finite directed graph. In the limit as the number of particles and the time window go to infinity but the graph remains finite, the large-deviation rate…
We consider diffusive lattice gases on a ring and analyze the stability of their density profiles conditionally to a current deviation. Depending on the current, one observes a phase transition between a regime where the density remains…
We comment on a recent paper by Li and Wang [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 044301 (2003)], and argue that their results violate the non-existence of a characteristic time scale in subdiffusive systems.
We study a model describing the slow flow of a fluid through a deformable, porous, elastic solid undergoing small deformations. The stress-strain relationship of the solid incorporates nonlinear effects, formulated as a perturbation of the…
The pressure-correction method is a well established approach for simulating unsteady, incompressible fluids. It is well-known that implicit discretization of the time derivative in the momentum equation e.g. using a backward…
I derive a temporally propagated uni-directional optical pulse equation valid in the few cycle limit. Temporal propagation is advantageous because it naturally preserves causality, unlike the competing spatially propagated models. The exact…
A fundamental problem in plasma physics, space science, and astrophysics is the transport of energetic particles interacting with stochastic magnetic fields. In particular the motion of particles across a large scale magnetic field is…
