Molecular fluids show rich and complicated dynamics close to the glass transition. Some of these observations are related to the fact that translational and orientational degrees of freedom couple in nontrivial ways. A model system which…
In a counter-ion only charged fluid, Coulomb coupling is quantified by a single dimensionless parameter. Yet, the theoretical treatment of moderately to strongly coupled charged fluids is a difficult task, central to the understanding of a…
We discuss relative velocities and the collision rate of small particles suspended in a highly turbulent fluid. In the limit where the viscous damping is very weak, we estimate the relative velocities using the Kolmogorov cascade principle.
We investigate a quite strong turbulence in a supercritical fluid near a gas-liquid critical point. Specifically, we consider a case in which the Kolmogorov scale is much smaller than the equilibrium correlation length $\xi$. Although…
Strong correlations between equilibrium fluctuations of the configurational parts of pressure and energy are found in the Lennard-Jones liquid and other simple liquids, but not in hydrogen-bonding liquids like methanol and water. The…
Van der Waals interactions are ubiquitous and they play an important role for the stability of materials. Current understanding of this type of coupling is based on linear response theory, while optical nonlinearities are rarely considered…
