We harness the momentum of light resonating inside a micro-droplet cavity, to experimentally generate micro-flows within the envelope of the drop. We 3D map these optically induced flows by using fluorescent nanoparticles; which reveals…
Objects that move in response to the actions of a main character often make an important contribution to the visual richness of an animated scene. We use the term "secondary motion" to refer to passive motions generated in response to the…
We study moduli of planar ring domains whose complements are linear segments and establish formulas for their moduli in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic functions. Numerical tests are carried out to illuminate our results.
Quantum systems can show qualitatively new forms of behavior when they are driven by fast time-periodic modulations. In the limit of large driving frequency, the long-time dynamics of such systems can often be described by a…
Elliptic functions are largely studied and standardized mathematical objects. The two usual approaches are due to Jacobi and Weierstrass. From a contour integral which allowed us to unify many summation formulae (Euler-MacLaurin, Poisson,…
