Attempted density blowup in a freely cooling dilute granular gas: hydrodynamics versus molecular dynamics
Andrea Puglisi, Michael Assaf, Itzhak Fouxon +1
It has been recently shown (Fouxon et al. 2007) that, in the framework of ideal granular hydrodynamics (IGHD), an initially smooth hydrodynamic flow of a granular gas can produce a…
Formation of density singularities in ideal hydrodynamics of freely cooling inelastic gases: a family of exact solutions
Itzhak Fouxon, Baruch Meerson, Michael Assaf +1
We employ granular hydrodynamics to investigate a paradigmatic problem of clustering of particles in a freely cooling dilute granular gas. We consider large-scale hydrodynamic moti…
Spectral theory of metastability and extinction in birth-death systems
Michael Assaf, Baruch Meerson
We suggest a general spectral method for calculating statistics of multi-step birth-death processes and chemical reactions of the type mA->nA (m and n are positive integers) which…
Formation and evolution of density singularities in hydrodynamics of inelastic gases
Itzhak Fouxon, Baruch Meerson, Michael Assaf +1
We use ideal hydrodynamics to investigate clustering in a gas of inelastically colliding spheres. The hydrodynamic equations exhibit a new type of finite-time density blowup, where…
Spectral formulation and WKB approximation for rare-event statistics in reaction systems
Michael Assaf, Baruch Meerson
We develop a spectral formulation and a stationary WKB approximation for calculating the probabilities of rare events (large deviations from the mean) in systems of reacting partic…
Experimental Study of Parametric Autoresonance in Faraday Waves
Oded Ben-David, Michael Assaf, Jay Fineberg +1
The excitation of large amplitude nonlinear waves is achieved via parametric autoresonance of Faraday waves. We experimentally demonstrate that phase locking to low amplitude drivi…
