We study segregation of an impurity in a driven granular fluid under two types of \emph{steady} states. In the first state, the granular gas is driven by a stochastic volume force field with a Fourier-type profile while in the second state,…
Diffusion coefficients of energetic charged particles in turbulent magnetic fields are a fundamental aspect of diffusive transport theory but remain incompletely understood. In this work, we use quasi-linear theory to evaluate the spatial…
We consider Taylor dispersion for tracer particles in micro-fluidic planar channels with strong confinement. In this context, the channel walls modify the local diffusivity tensor and also interactions between the tracer particles and the…
This study introduces a novel method to investigate in-situ light transport within optically thick ensembles of cold atoms, exploiting the internal structure of alkaline-earth metals. A method for creating an optical excitation at the…
We present a compact high-resolution gravity gradiometer based on dual Rb-85 atom interferometers using stimulated Raman transitions. A baseline L=44.5 cm and an interrogation time T=130 ms are realized in a sensor head with volume of less…
High precision measurements were made of reduced mobility, lateral and longitudinal diffusion of CS2- negative ions in 40 Torr CS2 and a 30 - 10 Torr CS2 - CF4 gas mixture. The reduced mobility was found to be 353.0 +/- 0.5 cm^2 Torr / s V…
The diffusion coefficient--a measure of dissipation, and the entropy--a measure of fluctuation are found to be intimately correlated in many physical systems. Unlike the fluctuation dissipation theorem in linear response theory, the…
Motivated by recent work on approximation of diffusion equations by deterministic interacting particle systems, we develop a nonlocal approximation for a range of linear and nonlinear diffusion equations and prove convergence of the method…
The ambipolar carrier diffusion in bulk GaAs is studied by using an ultrafast pump-probe technique with a high spatial resolution. Carriers with a point-like spatial profile are excited by a tightly focused pump laser pulse. The…
The paper describes a study of wet foams in microgravity whose bubble size distribution evolves due to diffusive gas exchange. We focus on the comparison between the size of bubbles determined from images of the foam surface and the size of…
We investigate experimentally phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion of micron-size solid particles in an inhomogeneous convective turbulence forced by one vertically-oriented oscillating grid in an air flow. This effect causes formation…
We present an effective stochastic advection-diffusion-reaction (SADR) model that explains incomplete mixing typically observed in transport with bimolecular reactions. Unlike traditional advection-dispersion-reaction models, the SADR model…
We present a methodology that combines Mach-Zehnder interferometry, a custom relative humidity (RH) controlled chamber, and a confined two-dimensional droplet geometry to enable precise investigations of drying of complex fluids and the…
The time dependency of the diffusion coefficient of particles in porous media is an efficient probe of their geometry. The analysis of this quantity, measured e.g. by nuclear magnetic resonance (PGSE-NMR), can provide rich information…
Recent studies have shown that in the presence of noise both fronts propagating into a metastable state and so-called pushed fronts propagating into an unstable state, exhibit diffusive wandering about the average position. In this paper we…
We have measured the mass diffusion coefficient D of 3He in superfluid 4He at temperatures lower than were previously possible. The experimental technique utilizes scintillation light produced when neutron react with 3He nuclei, and allows…
Tungsten is a promising candidate material for plasma-facing armour components in future fusion reactors. A key concern is irradiation-induced degradation of its normally excellent thermal transport properties. In this comprehensive study,…
We introduce in this paper a strategy to prove gradient estimates for some infinite-dimensional diffusions on $L_2$-Wasserstein spaces. For a specific example of a diffusion on the $L_2$-Wasserstein space of the torus, we get a…
We study the inverse problem of locating gas leaks from line-of-sight concentration measurements using a convection-diffusion model with the source term a Radon measure. By imposing sparsity-promoting regularisation on this measure, we…
This study explores the use of synchrotron measurements as a nanometrology tool for blazed gratings. In grazing incidence geometry, one can measure both the conical diffraction and the diffuse scattering on the grating simultaneously in a…
