Numerical simulations studies of the convective instability onset in a supercritical fluid
Akira Furukawa, Horst Meyer, Akira Onuki
Numerical simulation studies in 2D with the addition of noise are reported for the convection of a supercritical fluid,3He, in a Rayleigh-Be'nard cell where the fluid parameters an…
Spatio-temporal structures in sheared polymer systems
Akira Furukawa, Akira Onuki
We investigate spatio-temporal structures in sheared polymer systems by solving a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model in two dimensions. (i) In polymer solutions above the coexist…
Sheared Solid Materials
Akira Onuki, Akira Furukawa, Akihiko Minam
We present a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model of nonlinear elasticity in solid materials. We assume that the elastic energy density is a periodic function of the shear and tetr…
A Simple Model for Sheared Granular Layers
Akira Furukawa, Hisao Hayakawa
We phenomenologically investigate stick-slip motion of sheared granular layers. Our phenomenology is constructed in the context of nucleation-and-growth of the fluidized area which…
