A detailed analysis of poloidal mode structures in the SFEMaNS code indicates that MRI, rather than Ekman circulation or Rayleigh instability, dominates the fluid behavior in the region where MRI is expected.In this paper, the rotational part of the disturbance flow field caused by viscous Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) at the cylindrical interface is considered, and the most unstable mode is revealed to be three-dimensional for interfaces of small radii R. With an increase in R, the azimuthal wave number of the most unstable mode increases step by step, and the corresponding axial wave number increases as well at each step of the azimuthal wave number. When the amplitude of the wave-number vector is much larger or much smaller than 1/R, the cylindrical RTI is close to the semi-infinite planar viscous RTI limit or the finite-thickness creeping-flow RTI limit, respectively. The effect of the viscosity ratio is double-edged; it may enhance or suppress the cylindrical RTI, depending on R and the amplitude range of the wave-number vector.We examine directional locking effects in an assembly of disks driven through a square array of obstacles as the angle of drive rotates from 0^∘ to 90^∘. For increasing disk densities, the system exhibits a series of different dynamic patterns along certain locking directions, including one-dimensional or multiple-row chain phases and density-modulated phases. For nonlocking driving directions, the disks form disordered patterns or clusters. When the obstacles are small or far apart, a large number of locking phases appear; however, as the number of disks increases, the number of possible locking phases drops due to the increasing frequency of collisions between the disks and obstacles. For dense arrays or large obstacles, we find an increased clogging effect in which immobile and moving disks coexist.Nonlinear dispersion relation for the finite-amplitude dust acoustic modes is obtained taking into account resonant particle trapping in the wave. The kinetic model predicts a frequency shift scaling ∝sqrt[ϕ] relative to the linear dispersion relation with ϕ being the wave amplitude of the electrostatic potential. The species contributions to the nonlinear frequency shift have opposite sign positive for trapped electrons and ions and negative for particles. It is shown that the relative importance of these contributions depends on the electron-to-ion or particle temperature ratio, particle charge, and Havnes parameter. In typical complex plasma experiments, the kinetic frequency shift is dominated by the positive ion contribution. As a result, the nonlinear modification of the dispersion relation affects the wave dispersion properties and may provide the acoustic-like behavior to the wave number domain kλ_Di∼1.We develop a mathematical framework to study the economic impact of infectious diseases by integrating epidemiological dynamics with a kinetic model of wealth exchange. The multiagent description leads to the study of the evolution over time of a system of kinetic equations for the wealth densities of susceptible, infectious, and recovered individuals, whose proportions are driven by a classical compartmental model in epidemiology. Explicit calculations show that the spread of the disease seriously affects the distribution of wealth, which, unlike the situation in the absence of epidemics, can converge toward a stationary state with a bimodal form. Furthermore, simulations confirm the ability of the model to describe different phenomenon characteristics of economic trends in situations compromised by the rapid spread of an epidemic, such as the unequal impact on the various wealth classes and the risk of a shrinking middle class.Current epidemiological models can in principle model the temporal evolution of a pandemic. However, any such model will rely on parameters that are unknown, which in practice are estimated using stochastic and poorly measured quantities. As a result, an early prediction of the long-term evolution of a pandemic will quickly lose relevance, while a late model will be too late to be useful for disaster management. Unless a model is designed to be adaptive, it is bound either to lose relevance over time, or lose trust and thus not have a second chance for retraining. We propose a strategy for estimating the number of infections and the number of deaths, that does away with time-series modeling, and instead makes use of a "phase portrait approach." We demonstrate that, with this approach, there is a universality to the evolution of the disease across countries, that can then be used to make reliable predictions. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pentetic-acid.html selleck] These same models can also be used to plan the requirements for critical resources during the pandemic. The approach is designed for simplicity of interpretation, and adaptivity over time. Using our model, we predict the number of infections and deaths in Italy and New York State, based on an adaptive algorithm which uses early available data, and show that our predictions closely match the actual outcomes. We also carry out a similar exercise for India, where in addition to projecting the number of infections and deaths, we also project the expected range of critical resource requirements for hospitalizations in a location.We report the results of simulations of rigid colloidal helices suspended in a shear flow, using dissipative particle dynamics for a coarse-grained representation of the suspending fluid, as well as deterministic trajectories of non-Brownian helices calculated from the resistance tensor derived under the slender-body approximation. The shear flow produces nonuniform rotation of the helices, similarly to other high aspect ratio particles, such that more elongated helices spend more time aligned with the fluid velocity. We introduce a geometric effective aspect ratio calculated directly from the helix geometry and a dynamical effective aspect ratio derived from the trajectories of the particles and find that the two effective aspect ratios are approximately equal over the entire parameter range tested. We also describe observed transient deflections of the helical axis into the vorticity direction that can occur when the helix is rotating through the gradient direction and that depend on the rotation of the helix about its axis.
