Particle velocities, equations

The topological (or Berry) phase [9,11,78] has been discussed in previous sections. The physical picture for it is that when a periodic force, slowly (adiabatically) varying in time, is applied to the system then, upon a full periodic evolution, the phase of the wave function may have a part that is independent of the amplitude of the force. This part exists in addition to that part of the phase that depends on the amplitude of the force and that contributes to the usual, dynamic phase. We shall now discuss whether a relativistic electron can have a Berry phase when this is absent in the framework of the Schrddinger equation, and vice versa. (We restrict the present discussion to the nearly nonrelativistic limit, when particle velocities are much smaller than c.)... 

A number of simulation methods based on Equation (7.115) have been described. Thess differ in the assumptions that are made about the nature of frictional and random forces A common simplifying assumption is that the collision frequency 7 is independent o time and position. The random force R(f) is often assumed to be uncorrelated with th particle velocities, positions and the forces acting on them, and to obey a Gaussiar distribution with zero mean. The force F, is assumed to be constant over the time step o the integration. 

The electrokinetic effect is one of the few experimental methods for estimating double-layer potentials. If two electrodes are placed in a coUoidal suspension, and a voltage is impressed across them, the particles move toward the electrode of opposite charge. For nonconducting soHd spherical particles, the equation controlling this motion is presented below, where u = velocity of particles Tf = viscosity of medium V = applied field, F/cm ... 

This equation is a reasonable model of electrokinetic behavior, although for theoretical studies many possible corrections must be considered. Correction must always be made for electrokinetic effects at the wall of the cell, since this wall also carries a double layer. There are corrections for the motion of solvated ions through the medium, surface and bulk conductivity of the particles, nonspherical shape of the particles, etc. The parameter zeta, determined by measuring the particle velocity and substituting in the above equation, is a measure of the potential at the so-called surface of shear, ie, the surface dividing the moving particle and its adherent layer of solution from the stationary bulk of the solution. This surface of shear ties at an indeterrninate distance from the tme particle surface. Thus, the measured zeta potential can be related only semiquantitatively to the curves of Figure 3. 

The drag force is exerted in a direction parallel to the fluid velocity. Equation (6-227) defines the drag coefficient. For some sohd bodies, such as aerofoils, a hft force component perpendicular to the liquid velocity is also exerted. For free-falling particles, hft forces are generally not important. However, even spherical particles experience lift forces in shear flows near solid surfaces. 

Equation (2.56) can be integrated to provide a means of determining the relationship between pressure and particle velocity for continuous flow... 

By plotting Hugoniot curves in the pressure-particle velocity plane (P-u diagrams), a number of interactions between surfaces, shocks, and rarefactions were solved graphically. Also, the equation for entropy on the Hugoniot was expanded in terms of specific volume to show that the Hugoniot and isentrope for a material is the same in the limit of small strains. Finally, the Riemann function was derived and used to define the Riemann Invarient. 

Prompt instrumentation is usually intended to measure quantities while uniaxial strain conditions still prevail, i.e., before the arrival of any lateral edge effects. The quantities of interest are nearly always the shock velocity or stress wave velocity, the material (particle) velocity behind the shock or throughout the wave, and the pressure behind the shock or throughout the wave. Knowledge of any two of these quantities allows one to calculate the pressure-volume-energy path followed by the specimen material during the experimental event, i.e., it provides basic information about the material s equation of state (EOS). Time-resolved temperature measurements can further define the equation-of-state characteristics. 

Thus, by using two VISARs, and by monitoring two beams at 6, both the longitudinal velocity and the shear-wave velocity can be determined simultaneously by solving the above two equations. With a lens delay leg VISAR (Amery, 1976), a precision in determining F(t) to 2% can be achieved. The longitudinal and transverse particle velocity profiles obtained in a study of aluminum are indicated in Fig. 3.12. 

Measurements from stress gauges, assuming equal accuracy and time resolution, are equivalent to measurements from particle velocity gauges in exploring a material s equation of state. Both piezoresistive and piezoelectric techniques have been used extensively in shock-compression science. 

The diagnostics applied to shock experiments can be characterized as either prompt or delayed. Prompt instrumentation measures shock velocity, particle velocity, stress history, or temperature during the initial few shock transits of the specimen, and leads to the basic equation of state information on the specimen material. Delayed instrumentation includes optical photography and flash X-rays of shock-compression events, as well as post-mortem examinations of shock-produced craters and soft-recovered debris material. 

Moreover, upon comparing (4.32) with (4.14), it can be seen that (Jeanloz and Grover, 1988) the Birch-Murnaghan equation (4.32) with a2 = 0 describes the isentropic equation of state provided the linear shock-particle velocity relation (4.5) describes the Hugoniot. In combination, these require that... 

If the Hugoniot of the flyer plate (.4) and the target (B) are known and expressed in the form of (4.7), the particle velocity Ui and pressure Pi of the shock state produced upon impact of a flyer plate at velocity, Ufp, may be calculated from the solution of the equation equating the shock pressures in the flyer and driver plate ... 

In Eulerian coordinates x and t, the mass and momentum conservation laws and material constitutive equation are given by (u = = particle velocity,, = longitudinal stress, and p = material density)... 

Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) codes dynamically position the mesh to optimize some feature of the solution. An ALE code has tremendous flexibility. It can treat part of the mesh in a Lagrangian fashion (mesh velocity equation to particle velocity), part of the mesh in an Eulerian fashion (mesh velocity equal to zero), and part in an intermediate fashion (arbitrary mesh velocity). All these techniques can be applied to different parts of the mesh at the same time as shown in Fig. 9.18. In particular, an element can be Lagrangian until the element distortion exceeds some criteria when the nodes are repositioned to minimize the distortion. 

Hugoniot data have been fitted by the equation = Cq + su + qu, where Uj is the shock velocity and the associated particle velocity. Griineisen parameters have been obtained from best estimates of zero pressure thermodynamic parameters, which are sometimes of dubious value. The pressures and velocities describing the valid range of the fits do not necessarily indicate the onset or completion of a transition. 

Shock-compressed solids and shock-compression processes have been described in this book from a perspective of solid state physics and solid state chemistry. This viewpoint has been developed independently from the traditional emphasis on mechanical deformation as determined from measurements of shock and particle velocities, or from time-resolved wave profiles. The physical and chemical studies show that the mechanical descriptions provide an overly restrictive basis for identifying and quantifying shock processes in solids. These equations of state or strength investigations are certainly necessary to the description of shock-compressed matter, and are of great value, but they are not sufficient to develop a fundamental understanding of the processes. 

The population balance in equation 2.86 employs the local instantaneous values of the velocity and concentration. In turbulent flow, there are fluctuations of the particle velocity as well as fluctuations of species and concentrations (Pope, 1979, 1985, 2000). Baldyga and Orciuch (1997, 2001) provide the appropriate generalization of the moment transformation equation 2.93 for the case of homogeneous and non-homogeneous turbulent particle flow by Reynolds averaging... 

Equation 2.101 enables calculation of local average quantities such as moments of the particle size distribution. Baldyaga and Orciuch (2001) review expressions for local instantaneous values of particle velocity and diffusivity of particles, Z)pT, required for its solution and recover the distribution using the method of Pope (1979). 

In Langevin dynamics, we simulate the effect of a solvent by making two modifications to equation 15.1. First of all, we take account of random collisions between the solute and the solvent by adding a random force R. It is usual to assume that there is no correlation between this random force and the particle velocities and positions, and it is often taken to obey a Gaussian distribution with zero mean. 

In its more advanced aspects, kinetic theory is based upon a description of the gas in terms of the probability of a particle having certain values of coordinates and velocity, at a given time. Particle interactions are developed by the ordinary laws of mechanics, and the results of these are averaged over the probability distribution. The probability distribution function that is used for a given macroscopic physical situation is determined by means of an equation, the Boltzmann transport equation, which describes the space, velocity, and time changes of the distribution function in terms of collisions between particles. This equation is usually solved to give the distribution function in terms of certain macroscopic functions thus, the macroscopic conditions imposed upon the gas are taken into account in the probability function description of the microscopic situation. 

In the derivation of the Boltzmann equation, it was noted that the distribution function must not change significantly in times of the order of a collision time, nor in distances of the order of the maximum range of the interparticle force. For the usual interatomic force laws (but not the Coulomb force, which is of importance in ionized gases), this distance is less than about 10 T cm the corresponding collision times, which are of the order of the force range divided by a characteristic particle velocity (of the order of 10 cm/sec for hydrogen at 300° C), is about 10 12 seconds. 

Expansion Polynomials.—The techniques to be discussed here for solving the Boltzmann equation involve the use of an expansion of the distribution function in a set of orthogonal polynomials in particle velocity space. The polynomials to be used are products of Sonine polynomials and spherical harmonics some of their properties will be discussed in this section, while the reason for their use will be left to Section 1.13.

By adopting the basic assumption that the probability density of the direction distribution of particle velocity vector is uniform in the whole space, i.e., 0(0,jS) =sin 0/4tt, the probability of collision between the wall and a particle located S away from the wall (see Fig. 7) can be expressed as the following equation ...

Equation (64) predicts correctly the increase in solid entrainment into thejet with increases in jet velocity and the decrease with increases in solid loading in a two-phase jet. Since neither the voidage nor the particle velocity inside thejet were measured, direct verification of Eq. (64) was not performed.
