Stress field around arbitrarily shaped cracks in two-dimensional elastic materials
Eran Bouchbinder, Joachim Mathiesen, Itamar Procaccia
The calculation of the stress field around an arbitrarily shaped crack in an infinite two-dimensional elastic medium is a mathematically daunting problem. With the exception of few…
Drag Reduction by Polymers in Wall Bounded Turbulence
Victor S. L'vov, Anna Pomyalov, Itamar Procaccia +1
We address the mechanism of drag reduction by polymers in turbulent wall bounded flows. On the basis of the equations of fluid mechanics we present a quantitative derivation of the…
On the Fractal Dimension of the Visible Universe
Jean-Pierre Eckmann, Esa Järvenpää, Maarit Järvenpää +1
Estimates of the fractal dimension of the set of galaxies in the universe, based on ever improving data sets, tend to settle on . This result raised a raging debate…
