We propose a modified direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, which extends the validity of DSMC from rarefied to dense system of hard spheres (HSs). To assess this adapted method, transport properties of hard-sphere ...

We argue that the current heterogeneous computing environment mimics a complex nonlinear system which needs to borrow the concept of time-scale separation and the delayed difference approach from statistical mechanics and ...

Cumulus clouds, which are among the largest sources of uncertainty in climate change science and tropical circulation, have to-date resisted the numerous attempts made during the last six decades to unravel their cloud-scale ...

Most classical work on the hydrodynamics of low-Reynolds-number swimming addresses deterministic locomotion in quiescent environments. Thermal fluctuations in fluids are known to lead to a Brownian loss of the swimming ...

In 1880 Lord Kelvin analysed the linearized inviscid oscillations of a Rankine vortex as part of a theory of vortex atoms. These eponymously named neutrally stable modes are, however, exceptional regular oscillations that ...

Current approaches to Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) are computationally quite expensive for most realistic scientific and engineering applications of Fluid Dynamics such as automobiles or atmospheric flows. The Lattice ...

We present a phenomenological description of the hydrodynamics in terms of the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation for one-particle distribution function. Similar to the Boltzmann equation or the Bhatnager-Gross-Krook (BGK) model, ...
