A lattice gas model for thermohydrodynamics

The lattice gas model is extended to include a temperature variable in order to study thermohydrodynamics, the combination of fluid dynamics and heat transfer. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are derived using a Chapman-Enskog expansion. Heat conduction and convection problems are investigated, including Bénard convection. It is shown that the usual rescaling procedure can be avoided by controlling the temperature.     

Solution of Müller's paradox of frame dependence in mixtures of polymeric liquid crystals

Recently, there appeared in this journal a short review article by Müller ((2002), 14: 227–229), in which it was argued that the internal energy of a reacting mixture of liquid crystals should not be an objective quantity (i.e., a quantity independent of the referential frame). Such a paradoxical conclusion has revealed the urging necessity for a better comprehension of the interactions taking place in structured mixtures, specially when referred to non-inertial observers. This work shows that Müller's paradox is avoided when all inertial effects are carefully accounted for. Further, it predicts interesting phenomena without analogue in reacting mixtures of structureless fluids: internal inertial effects, produced by a combination of mass exchanges (e.g. by chemical reactions or phase changes) with the extra degrees of freedom posed by the microstructure. Such effects clarify the reasons why inertial forces and couples acting on a mixture do not always coincide with the sum of the inertial forces and couples exerted upon its individual constituents. The present conclusions establish a reinterpretation of some fundamental concepts of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics, including a deeper understanding of the manner in which total energy and momenta are conserved in complex media.

Chapter 3 Translation invariance in data envelopment analysis: A generalization

In this paper, we undertake a revision and a generalization of the results contained in the only paper so far published on the matter of translation invariance by allowing inputs and outputs to take not only zero but negative values. This broadens the field of application of the DEA methodology.

Scaling laws for plasma transport due toη i-driven turbulence

The scale invariance technique has been employed to discuss theη _i-driven turbulent transport under a new fluid model developed by Kimet al [1]. Our analysis reveals that the finite Larmour radius effect plays a decisive role to determine the scaling behaviour of the energy transport under the new fluid model. However, the overall scaling of the transport coefficient remains unchanged as compared to that derived by Connor [2] under the traditional fluid model. The approximations considered by Connor [2] are qualified with additional requirements within the new fluid approach. In the dissipative case, which has not been discussed earlier, additional constraints on the power scaling laws of the transport properties are imposed due to the dissipative mechanisms in the basic governing equations.
