Simple Viscous Flows: from Boundary Layers to the Renormalization Group
John Veysey, Nigel Goldenfeld
The seemingly simple problem of determining the drag on a body moving through a very viscous fluid has, for over 150 years, been a source of theoretical confusion, mathematical par…
Ordering dynamics in Type-II superconductors
Nicholas Guttenberg, Nigel Goldenfeld
We use analytic and numerical methods to analyze the dynamics of vortices following the quench of a Type-II superconductor under the application of an external magnetic field. In t…
Collective evolution and the genetic code
Kalin Vetsigian, Carl Woese, Nigel Goldenfeld
A dynamical theory for the evolution of the genetic code is presented, which accounts for its universality and optimality. The central concept is that a variety of collective, but…
Critical behavior of Griffiths ferromagnets
Pak Yuen Chan, Nigel Goldenfeld, Myron Salamon
From a heuristic calculation of the leading order essential singularity in the distribution of Yang-Lee zeroes, we obtain new scaling relations near the ferromagnetic-Griffiths tra…
Renormalization group theory for the phase field crystal equation
Badrinarayan P. Athreya, Nigel Goldenfeld, Jonathan A. Dantzig
We derive a set of rotationally covariant amplitude equations for use in multiscale simulation of the two dimensional phase field crystal (PFC) model by a variety of renormalizatio…
Dynamics of precipitation pattern formation at geothermal hot springs
Nigel Goldenfeld, Pak Yuen Chan, John Veysey
We formulate and model the dynamics of spatial patterns arising during the precipitation of calcium carbonate from a supersaturated shallow water flow. The model describes the form…
