The paper is devoted to the problem of the determination of regular and thermal forces acting on microscopic and smaller objects in fluids. One of the methods how regular forces are determined is the measurement of the drift velocity of…

The standing wave model describes the well-known phenomenon of superconductivity in a new way [1]. Starting from a new definition of superconductivity, a microscopic London relation is derived from first principles. The relation between the…

A theory accounting for the dynamical aspects of the superfluid response of one dimensional (1D) quantum fluids is reported. In long 1D systems the onset of superfluidity is related to the dynamical suppression of quantum phase slips at low…

We report a counter-intuitive self-heating effect of helium-4 superflow. This fundamentally unusual heating effect bears a phenomenological resemblance to the Peltier effect of electric current across two different conductors. It reveals…

In a Galilean superfluid, the depletion of superfluid density with rising temperature can be attributed to thermally excited non-interacting phonons. For systems without Galilean symmetry, it has been shown [1] that ``phonon wind" is no…

The motion of a fluid induced by thermal gradients in the absence of driving forces is known as thermo-osmosis. The physical explanation of this phenomenon stems from the emergence of gradients in the tangential pressure due to the presence…

Superfluid $T_c$ of liquid helium-3 and its pressure dependence are calculated by using a relation obtained from our macro-orbital microscopic theory. The results agree closely with experiments. This underlines the accuracy of our relation…

With the discussion of three examples, we aim at clarifying the concept of energy transfer associated with dissipation in mechanics and in thermodynamics. The dissipation effects due to dissipative forces, such as the friction force between…

Thermal gradients lead to macroscopic fluid motion if a confining surface is present along the gradient. This fundamental nonequilibrium effect, known as thermo-osmosis, is held responsible for particle thermophoresis in colloidal…

In a recent paper, Liu, Zhu and Wu (2015, {\it J. Fluid Mech.} {\bf 784}: 304) present a force theory for a body in a two-dimensional, viscous, compressible and steady flow. In this companion paper we do the same for three-dimensional flow.…

A unified formulation of the density functional theory is constructed on the foundations of entropic inference in both the classical and the quantum regimes. The theory is introduced as an application of entropic inference for inhomogeneous…

The problem of surface effects at a fluid boundary created by the force field of finite value is investigated. A classical simple fluid with a locally introduced field imitating a permeable solid is considered. The cases of micro- and…

The hydrodynamic description of a superfluid is usually based on a two-fluid picture. In this thesis, basic properties of such a relativistic two-fluid system are derived from the underlying microscopic physics of a complex scalar quantum…

Building on a recently improved understanding of the problem of heat flow in general relativity, we develop a hydrodynamical model for coupled finite temperature superfluids. The formalism is designed with the dynamics of the outer core of…

Superfluidity is a fascinating phenomenon that, at the macroscopic scale, leads to dissipationless flow and the emergence of vortices. While these macroscopic manifestations of superfluidity are well described by theories that have their…

The fluctuation theorem is a pivotal result of statistical physics. It quantifies the probability of observing fluctuations which are in violation of the second law of thermodynamics. More specifically, it quantifies the ratio of the…

Experimental data were used to support a new concept of osmotic force and a new osmotic law that can explain the osmotic process without the difficulties encountered with van't Hoff osmotic pressure theory. Derived new osmotic formula with…

Diffusivity, a measure for how rapidly a fluid self-mixes, shows an intimate, but seemingly fragmented, connection to thermodynamics. On one hand, the "configurational" contribution to entropy (related to the number of mechanically-stable…

I present here a microscopic theory for the superfluidity of $^4$He (He II) derived from experiments, and answer its essential questions. With a "momenton" model, the superfluid is shown to feature as a "harmonic superfluid". In which a new…

We calculate a force due to zero-temperature quantum fluctuations on a stationary object in a moving superfluid flow. We model the object by a localized potential varying only in the flow direction and model the flow by a three-dimensional…
