Wave-Flow Interactions and Acoustic Streaming
Clifford E. Chafin
The interaction of waves and flows is a challenging topic where a complete resolution has been frustrated by the essential nonlinear features in the hydrodynamic case. Even in the…
Thermalization of Gases: A First Principles Approach
Clifford Chafin
Previous approaches of emergent thermalization for condensed matter based on typical wavefunctions are extended to generate an intrinsically quantum theory of gases. Gases are fund…
Two Experimental Tests to Distinguish Decoherence from the Slicing Theory of Measurement
Clifford Chafin
Here we propose a pair of experiments to distinguish the recently proposed "slicing theory" of quantum measurement, which gives a transient many worlds picture, and decoherence. Si…
Hydrodynamic fluctuations and the minimum shear viscosity of the dilute Fermi gas at unitarity
Clifford Chafin, Thomas Schaefer
We study hydrodynamic fluctuations in a non-relativistic fluid. We show that in three dimensions fluctuations lead to a minimum in the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio $η/s…
