Towards a Quantum Fluid Mechanical Theory of Turbulence
D. Drosdoff, A. Widom, J. Swain +3
Recent studies of turbulence in superfluid Helium indicate that turbulence in quantum fluids obeys a Kolmogorov scaling law. Such a law was previously attributed to classical solut…
Viscosity of High Energy Nuclear Fluids
V. Parihar, A. Widom, D. Drosdoff +1
Relativistic high energy heavy ion collision cross sections have been interpreted in terms of almost ideal liquid droplets of nuclear matter. The experimental low viscosity of thes…
Thermally Activated Processes in Polymer Glasses
V. Parihar, D. Drosdoff, A. Widom +1
A derivation is given for the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann thermal activation law for the glassy state of a bulk polymer. Our microscopic considerations involve the entropy of closed poly…
Snell's Law from an Elementary Particle Viewpoint
D. Drosdoff, A. Widom
Snell's law of light deflection between media with different indices of refraction is usually discussed in terms of the Maxwell electromagnetic wave theory. Snell's law may also be…
Quantum Drag Forces on a Sphere Moving Through a Rarefied Gas
D. Drosdoff, A. Widom, Y. N. Srivastava
As an application of quantum fluid mechanics, we consider the drag force exerted on a sphere by an ultra-dilute gas. Quantum mechanical diffraction scattering theory enters in that…
Electronic Detection of Gravitational Disturbances and Collective Coulomb Interactions
A. Widom, D. Drosdoff, S. Sivasubramanian +1
The cross section for a gravitational wave antenna to absorb a graviton may be directly expressed in terms of the non-local viscous response function of the metallic crystal. Cryst…
