Two-dimensional motion

The bifurcational diagram (fig. 44) shows how the (Qo,li) plane breaks up into domains of different behavior of the instanton. In the Arrhenius region at T> classical transitions take place throughout both saddle points. When T < 7 2 the extremal trajectory is a one-dimensional instanton, which crosses the maximum barrier point, Q = q = 0. Domains (i) and (iii) are separated by domain (ii), where quantum two-dimensional motion occurs. The crossover temperatures, Tci and J c2> depend on AV. When AV Vq domain (ii) is narrow (Tci — 7 2), so that in the classical regime the transfer is stepwise, while the quantum motion is a two-proton concerted transfer. This is the case when the tunneling path differs from the classical one. The concerted transfer changes into the two-dimensional motion at the critical value of parameter That is, when... 

For indirect atomic adsorption, the transition state is that of two-dimensional motion over the surface. 

In the general case, the direction of movement of the particle relative to the fluid may not be parallel with the direction of the external and buoyant forces, and the drag force then creates an angle with the other two. This is known as two-dimensional motion. In this situation, the drag force must be resolved into two components, which complicates the treatment of particle mechanics. This presentation considers only the one-dimensional case in which the lines of action of all forces acting on the particle are collinear. 

Detonation Wave, Two-Dimensional. Under this term is known a wave generated by the lateral dispersion of a detonating substance, in other words, the two dimensional motion of the detonation products. Two- dimensional deton waves may be either stationary or unsteady. Various numerical methods have been applied to the solution of a stationary wave and of the distribution of the fluid properties behind a steadily expanding cylindrical detonation wave as described in Refs 56a, 60, 63a, 74, 93a 93b...

In other words, the peculiarity of the two-dimensional motion which has led to the zero survival probability of correlated pairs, equation (3.2.26), for randomly distributed particles consists of the complete zerofication of the reaction rate at a great time, K(oo) = 0. The logarithmic dependence of the reaction rate on time does not considerably affect the asymptotic behaviour of macroscopic concentrations. Introducing the critical exponent a...

In two-dimensional motion, in the plane and spherical cases with scalar resistivity, a dynamo is impossible, and in the general two-dimensional case, if it is possible, it will prove to be slow (with a characteristic time tending to infinity for fixed l, v and for Rm — oo). For small Rm an effective dynamo is possible for two-dimensional motion as well (excluding the plane and spherical cases). 

It is clear that in the limit of complete frozenness of the magnetic field (vm — 0), the results obtained can also be generalized to two-dimensional motions of a more general type. It is easy to check, for instance, that in motion along spherical or cylindrical surfaces the equation for the radial component is decoupled, and this field component is conserved in each fluid particle. It is simplest and most intuitive to use the property that, if the magnetic field is frozen into the fluid, Hr behaves like Sr, which is conserved due to the condition vr = 0. 

Consider a particle, with the two-dimensional motion confined to a square box. By analogy to the one-dimensional problem (see Section 2.3), we put the potential energy equal to zero within the box,... 

When adsorption takes place, the gas molecules are restricted to two-dimensional motion. Gas adsorption processes are, therefore, accompanied by a decrease in entropy. Since adsorption also involves a decrease in free energy, then, from the thermodynamic relationship,...

Because it is easier to develop special cases for particle motion from the equations covering two-dimensional motion, we shall begin by discussing the motion of a particle in a plane with rectangular coordinate axes x, y. 

These are the equations for two-dimensional motion. We see that the acceleration along either axis comprises the actual vector velocity along the corresponding axis and the actual velocity along the tangent to the point v. Eqs (2-18) and (2-19) cannot be solved explicitly and we must resort to a method of approximations, an example of which will be given. Write the equation in incremental form, as follows ... 

We consider the laminar two-dimensional motion of fluid past a hot semi-infinite plate, with the free stream velocity and temperature denoted by, Uoo and Too- We will focus our attention on the top of the plate, for which the temperature is T - that is greater than Too, while assuming the leading edge of the plate as the stagnation point. Governing equations are written in dimensional form (indicated by the quantities with asterisk), along with the Boussinesq approximation to represent the buoyancy effect,... 

The most comprehensive survey of physical adsorption remains the work of Brunauer (1). It is quite significant that the only reference to entropy in this masterful monograph published in 1943 is in a broad qualitative statement. It is pointed out that since gas molecules move freely in three dimensions and since adsorbed molecules are, at best, restricted to two-dimensional motion, the adsorption process is accompanied by a decrease in entropy. Further, since the change in free energy AF must be negative for adsorption to take place, AH the heat of adsorption, must be negative. It is therefore concluded that all adsorption processes are exothermic. 

In the second subsection (Section V, B), we describe the two-dimensional motion and collisions of dozens of receptors and effectors that results in activated effectors and thus the initial stages of signal transduction. For simplicity, receptors and effectors are constrained to move on a lattice the random motion of each is determined by choosing random numbers according to a Monte Carlo scheme, yielding a dynamic computer simulation.

The collision dynamics for two particles whose interaction depends only on the distance between the center of the particles can be readily quantified in terms of classical mechanics. This problem is equivalent to the two-dimensional motion of a particle with a velocity equal to the relative velocity of the two particles, and a mass equal to the reduced mass of the two particles, rn = m ni2/ mi + m2). The total energy and angular momentum of this system are constant, and these two quantities can be used to completely define the system. The total energy E is... 

Two-dimensional motion can be rationally treated in the familiar lubrication approximation , assuming the characteristic scale in the vertical direction (normal to the solid surface) to be much smaller than that in the horizontal (parallel) direction. When the interface is weakly inclined and curved, the density is weakly dependent on the coordinate x directed along the solid surface. The velocities v,u corresponding to weak disequilibrium of the phase field considered above will be consistently scaled if one assumes 9- = 0(1), dx = 0 VS), u = 0(<5 / ), v = O(S ). It is further necessary for consistent scaling of the hydrodynamic equations that the constant part of the chemical potential p, associated with interfacial curvature, disjoining potential, and external forces and weakly dependent on x, be of 0((5), while the dynamic part varying in the vertical direction and responsible for motion across isoclensity levels, be of O(J ). We can assume therefore that p H- V is independent of z.

Mathematical models for describing the droplet dynamics in microchannels can turn out to be substantially more involved in case the multi-dimensionalities in the flow patterns need to be adequately resolved. One can demonstrate such a situation by describing the two-dimensional motion of a deformable droplet in a microchannel. The initial position and shape of the droplet are geometrically specified. Viscosity of the droplet is taken to be rn, and that of the continuous phase is taken to be ric- For simplicity, the density of the two phases is taken to be the same (= p). The equations governing the flow-field in the microchannel, in this case, can be described as... 

Equation 11.35 shows that even though we call this system two-dimensional motion, in polar coordinates only one coordinate is changing the angle (f>. Equation 11.35 is a simple second-order differential equation that has known analytic solutions for which is what we are trying to find. The possible expressions for are... 

The process of mixing two liquids to the molecular level is extremely complex, even under conditions of laminar motion, and takes on additional complexity when the liquids react chemically. As a consequence the relatively simple example treated here has the advantage of providing a transparent, but incisive, description of the processes that are essential in more complex situations. We consider a two-dimensional motion in which, initially, two different liquids are situated respectively in the upper and lower half-planes. At the start of motion a vortex is imposed at the origin. The interface between the two liquids, across which molecular diffusion is taking place, is distorted and stretched in a manner resembling a conventional stirring process in liquids.
