Sorting prolate and oblate spheroids with a diatomic gas in a magnetic field
Ruben Lier
For a gas of diatomic particles with a nonzero magnetic moment, the Senftleben-Beenakker effect implies that transport can be affected by a magnetic field even when the particles a…
Machine Learning the H-theorem
Ruben Lier
The H-theorem provides a microscopic foundation for the Second Law of Thermodynamics and therefore occupies a central place in statistical physics. At the same time, its relation t…
Odd viscous flow past a sphere at low but nonzero Reynolds numbers
Ruben Lier
Measuring lift force on symmetrically shaped obstacles immersed in laminar flow is the quintessential way of signalling odd viscosity. For flow past cylinders, such a lift force do…
Hydrodynamics of thermal active matter
Jay Armas, Akash Jain, Ruben Lier
Active matter concerns many-body systems comprised of living or self-driven agents that collectively exhibit macroscopic phenomena distinct from conventional passive matter. Using…
