A Concept of Linear Thermal Circulator Based on Coriolis forces

Huanan Li, Tsampikos Kottos

We show that the presence of a Coriolis force in a rotating linear lattice imposes a non-reciprocal propagation of the phononic heat carriers. Using this effect we propose the conc…

Turbulence decay and cloud core relaxation in molecular clouds

Yang Gao, Haitao Xu, Chung K. Law

The turbulent motion within molecular clouds is a key factor controlling star formation. Turbulence supports molecular cloud cores from evolving to gravitational collapse and hence…

Thermal Boundary Layer Equation for Turbulent Rayleigh-Benard Convection

Olga Shishkina, Susanne Horn, Sebastian Wagner +1

We report a new thermal boundary layer equation for turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection for Prandtl number Pr>1 that takes into account the effect of turbulent fluctuations. These…

Spatio-temporal spectra in the logarithmic layer of wall turbulence: large-eddy simulations and simple models

Michael Wilczek, Richard J. A. M. Stevens, Charles Meneveau

Motivated by the need to characterize the spatio-temporal structure of turbulence in wall-bounded flows, we study wavenumber-frequency spectra of the streamwise velocity component…

Possible Origin of Stagnation and Variability of Earth's Biodiversity

Frank Stollmeier, Theo Geisel, Jan Nagler

The magnitude and variability of Earth's biodiversity have puzzled scientists ever since paleontologic fossil databases became available. We identify and study a model of interdepe…

An introduction to the Ginzburg-Landau theory of phase transitions and nonequilibrium patterns

P. C. Hohenberg, A. P. Krekhov

This paper presents an introduction to phase transitions and critical phenomena on the one hand, and nonequilibrium patterns on the other, using the Ginzburg-Landau theory as a uni…
