We study the generalized Forchheimer flows of slightly compressible fluids in rotating porous media. In the problem's model, the varying density in the Coriolis force is fully accounted for without any simplifications. It results in a…

The properties of a nonrelativistic charged particle in two dimensions in the presence of an arbitrary number of nonquantized magnetic fluxes are investigated in free space as well as in a uniform magnetic field. The fluxes are represented…

In analysing fluid forces on a moving body, a natural approach is to seek a component due to viscosity and an `inviscid' remainder. It is also attractive to decompose the velocity field into irrotational and rotational parts, and apportion…

We study the effective forces acting between colloidal particles trapped at a fluid interface which itself is exposed to a pressure field. To this end we apply what we call the ``force approach'', which relies solely on the condition of…

The main object of the proposed theory is not a pseudometric, but a symmetric affine connection on the Minkowski space. The coefficients of this connection have one upper and two lower indices. These coefficients are symmetric with respect…

In two-dimensional space-time, point particles can experience a geometric, dimension-specific gravity force, which modifies the usual geodesic equation of motion and provides a link between the cosmological constant and the vacuum…

Many-body theory is largely based on self-consistent equations that are constructed in terms of the physical quantity of interest itself, for example the density. Therefore, the calculation of important properties such as total energies or…

We argue that in a nonlinear gravity theory, which according to well-known results is dynamically equivalent to a self-gravitating scalar field in General Relativity, the true physical variables are exactly those which describe the…

We construct a simple physical model of a particle moving on the infinite noncommutative 2-plane. The model consists of a pair of opposite charges moving in a strong magnetic field. In addition, the charges are connected by a spring. In the…

Particles bound to an interface interact because they deform its shape. The stresses that result are fully encoded in the geometry and described by a divergence-free surface stress tensor. This stress tensor can be used to express the force…

In the Newtonian limit of $f(R)$ gravity, for an isolated self-gravitating system consisting of $N$ extended fluid bodies, the inter-body dynamics are studied by applying the symmetric and trace-free formalism in terms of irreducible…

We consider the statistical properties of the gravitational field F in an infinite one-dimensional homogeneous Poisson distribution of particles, using an exponential cut-off of the pair interaction to control and study the divergences…

The effect of non-commutativity on electromagnetic waves violates Lorentz invariance: in the presence of a background magnetic induction field b, the velocity for propagation transverse to b differs from c, while propagation along b is…

A flexoelectric peridynamic (PD) theory is proposed. Using the PD framework, the formulation introduces, perhaps for the first time, a nanoscale flexoelectric coupling that entails non-uniform strain in centrosymmetric dielectrics. This…

We consider the geometry of the space of Borel measures endowed with a distance that is defined by generalizing the dynamical formulation of the Wasserstein distance to concave, nonlinear mobilities. We investigate the energy landscape of…

When a small, uncharged, compact object is immersed in an external background spacetime, at zeroth order in its mass it moves as a test particle in the background. At linear order, its own gravitational field alters the geometry around it,…

The effect of boundaries on the force distributions in granular media is illustrated by simulations of 2D packings of frictionless, Hertzian spheres. To elucidate discrepancies between experimental observations and theoretical predictions,…

I show how prior work with R. Wald on geodesic motion in general relativity can be generalized to classical field theories of a metric and other tensor fields on four-dimensional spacetime that 1) are second-order and 2) follow from a…

The distribution P(F) of contact forces F in a homogeneous isotropic disordered granular sample subject to uniform triaxial stress field is studied using a model where forces propagate and collide. Collisions occur at grain and obey given…

The radiation force exerted on an object by an acoustic wave is a widely studied phenomenon since the early work of Rayleigh, Langevin and Brillouin and has led in the last decade to tremendous developments for acoustic micromanipulation.…
