Non-inertial regime

Using the characteristic parameters shown in the figure, critical transition diameters were calculated. The values obtained were 570 microns for transition from non-inertial to inertial and 1140 microns from inertial to coating, and are seen to be within a factor of 1.5-2 of the experimental data which, in view of the approximate nature of these calculations, is quite remarkable. The constant rate of growth in the non-inertial regime also implies that only growth by nucleation occurred and that coalescence (see Fig. 12) was not prevalent. 

It can be seen from the tables and from Fig. 2.a. that the addition of small amount of acetonitrile in benzene speeds up the initial decay of the solvent response, usually assigned to inertial motions [6], On the other hand, the solvent response at times longer than 1 ps is at first only slightly modified by the presence of acetonitrile. Only large amount of acetonitrile lead to a faster decay of the solvent response function in this non-inertial regime. 

Low-frequency acquisition of the curves corresponds to a non-inertial regime wherein the mass of the cantilever does not play any role and the system can be treated as two springs in series. The in-phase and out-of-phase mechanical response of the cantilever in FMM-SFM was interpreted in terms of stiffness and damping properties of the sample, respectively [125,126]. This interpretation works rather good for compliant materials, but can be problematic for stiff samples. Assuming low damping, the cantilever response (Eqs. 9 and 10) below the resonance frequency (O0 for the case of is given by... 

The exponents a and in Equation (13.19) are dependent on granule deform-ability and on the granule volumes u and v. In the case of small feed particles in the non-inertial regime, P reduces to the size-independent rate constant Po and the coalescence rate is independent of granule size. Under these conditions the mean granule size increases exponentially with time. Coalescence stops ( = 0) when the critical Stokes number is reached. 

Explain the non-inertial, inertial, and coating regimes of granule granule growth. What happens to the maximum granule size as (a) the approach velocity increases, (b) the viscosity increases ... 

In other words, if we are exploring the low-friction regime, the interplay of non-Markovian statistics and external field renders the system still more inertial, thereby widening the range of validity of the formula provided by Kramers for the low-friction regime provided that y be replaced by... 

Figure 3 presents a comparison of the non-equilibrium solvent response functions, Eq (1), for both the photoexcitation ("up") and non-adiabatic ("down") transitions (cf. Fig. 2). The two traces are markedly different the inertial component for the downwards transition is faster and accounts for a much larger total percentage of the total solvation response than that following photoexcitation. The solvent molecular motions underlying the upwards dynamics have been explored in detail in previous work, where it was also determined that the solvent response falls within the linear regime. Unfortunately, the relatively small amount of time the electron spends in the excited state prevents the calculation of the equilibrium excited state solvent response function due to poor statistics, leaving the matter of linear response for the downwards S(t) unresolved. Whether the radiationless transition obeys linear response or not, it is clear that the upward and downwards solvation response behave very differently, due in part to the very different equilibrium solvation structures of the ground and excited state species. Interestingly, the downwards S(t), with its much larger inertial component, resembles the aqueous solvation response computed in other simulation studies, and bears a striking similarity to that recently determined in experimental work based on a combination of depolarized Raman and optical Kerr effect data. ...

The distribution of a decaying scalar field advected by a turbulent flow was studied by Corrsin (1961) who generalized the Obukhov-Corrsin theory of passive scalar turbulence for the linear decay problem F(C) = S(x) — bC. As in the case of the passive non-decaying scalar field, depending on the length scales considered, one can identify inertial-convective and viscous-convective regimes with qualitatively different characteristics.
