We study experimentally the onset of Faraday waves near the endwalls of rectangular vessel containing two stably-stratified fluid layers, subject to horizontal oscillations. These subharmonic waves (SWs) are excited, because the horizontal…

Magnetic fields in upper main-sequence stars, white dwarfs, and neutron stars are known to persist for timescales comparable to their lifetimes. From a theoretical perspective this is problematic, as it can be shown that simple magnetic…
We discuss persistent currents for particles with internal degrees of freedom. The currents arise because of winding properties essential for the chaotic motion of the particles in a confined geometry. The currents do not change the…
