(Cambridge University Press, 2005)Based on a general theory of detonation waves with an embedded sonic locus that we have previously developed, we carry out asymptotic analysis of weakly curved slowly varying detonation waves and show that the theory ...

(American Institute of Physics, 2003-12-22)We use a continuum model to investigate the isochoric axial contraction and expansion of a right circular cylindrical specimen composed of a nematic elastomer that is cross-linked in a uniaxial state and then annealed. ...

(American Institute of Physics, 2003-11)A direct numerical simulation ~DNS! is used to study the effect of a freestream isotropic turbulent flow on the drag and lift forces on a spherical particle. The particle diameter is about 1.5–10 times the Kolmogorov ...

(American Institute of Physics, 2001-01)When a solid sphere impacts on a deep layer of granular medium, it generates an ejecta sheet and a transient axisymmetric crater. The gravity-driven radial collapse of this crater generates a pressure spike, as the cavity ...

(American Institute of Physics, 2006)In a nematic elastomer the deformation of the polymer network chains is coupled to the orientational order of the mesogenic groups. Statistical arguments have derived the so-called neoclassical free energy that models this ...

(American Physical Society, 2005)In many applications a sustained, localized turbulent flow scours a cohesionless granular bed to form a pothole. Here we use similarity methods to derive a theoretical formula for the equilibrium depth of the pothole. ...

(Cambridge University Press, 2006)We consider the problem of nonlinear oscillatory convection in a horizontal mushy layer rotating about a vertical axis. Under a near-eutectic approximation and the limit of large far-field temperature, we determine the ...

On nonlinear convection in mushy layers. Part 1: Oscillatory modes of convection. With Corrigendums (Cambridge University Press, 2002)We consider the problem of nonlinear convection in horizontal mushy layers during the solidification of binary alloys. We analyse the oscillatory modes of convection in the form of two- and three-dimensional travelling ...

(American Institute of Physics, 2004-10)In this work we investigate the dynamics of self-sustained detonation waves that have an embedded information boundary such that the dynamics is influenced only by a finite region adjacent to the lead shock. We introduce ...

(American Physical Society, 2004-11)We model the radial segregation patterns that form in a thin rotating drum partially filled with beads of two sizes. We predict that the waviness (or amplitude-to-wavelength ratio, denoted w) of a pattern should be subjected ...
