Theory of droplet. Part 1: Renormalized laws of droplet vaporization in non-dilute sprays
The vaporization of a droplet, interacting with its neighbors in a non-dilute spray environment is examined as well as a vaporization scaling law established on the basis of a recently developed theory of renormalized droplet. The interacting droplet consists of a centrally located droplet and its vapor bubble which is surrounded by a cloud of droplets. The distribution of the droplets and the size of the cloud are characterized by a pair-distribution function. The vaporization of a droplet is retarded by the collective thermal quenching, the vapor concentration accumulated in the outer sphere, and by the limited percolative passages for mass, momentum and energy fluxes. The retardation is scaled by the local collective interaction parameters (group combustion number of renormalized droplet, droplet spacing, renormalization number and local ambient conditions). The numerical results of a selected case study reveal that the vaporization correction factor falls from unity monotonically as the group combustion number increases, and saturation is likely to occur when the group combustion number reaches 35 to 40 with interdroplet spacing of 7.5 diameters and an environment temperature of 500 K. The scaling law suggests that dense sprays can be classified into: (1) a diffusively dense cloud characterized by uniform thermal quenching in the cloud; (2) a stratified dense cloud characterized by a radial stratification in temperature by the differential thermal quenching of the cloud; or (3) a sharply dense cloud marked by fine structure in the quasi-droplet cloud and the corresponding variation in the correction factor due to the variation in the topological structure of the cloud characterized by a pair-distribution function of quasi-droplets
A note on Neuberger's double pass algorithm
We analyze Neuberger's double pass algorithm for the matrix-vector
multiplication R(H).Y (where R(H) is (n-1,n)-th degree rational polynomial of
positive definite operator H), and show that the number of floating point
operations is independent of the degree n, provided that the number of sites is
much larger than the number of iterations in the conjugate gradient. This
implies that the matrix-vector product can be approximated to very high precision with sufficiently large n,
without noticeably extra costs. Further, we show that there exists a threshold
such that the double pass is faster than the single pass for , where for most platforms.Comment: 18 pages, v3: CPU time formulas are obtained, to appear in Physical
Review
Topological Phases in Neuberger-Dirac operator
The response of the Neuberger-Dirac fermion operator D=\Id + V in the
topologically nontrivial background gauge field depends on the negative mass
parameter in the Wilson-Dirac fermion operator which enters
through the unitary operator . We classify
the topological phases of by comparing its index to the topological charge
of the smooth background gauge field. An exact discrete symmetry in the
topological phase diagram is proved for any gauge configurations. A formula for
the index of D in each topological phase is derived by obtaining the total
chiral charge of the zero modes in the exact solution of the free fermion
propagator.Comment: 27 pages, Latex, 3 figures, appendix A has been revise
Solutions of the Ginsparg-Wilson Relation
We analyze general solutions of the Ginsparg-Wilson relation for lattice
Dirac operators and formulate a necessary condition for such operators to have
non-zero index in the topologically nontrivial background gauge fields.Comment: 6 pages, latex, no figures, set T to 1 in eqs. (10)--(13
Flavor Mixing and the Permutation Symmetry among Generations
In the standard model, the permutation symmetry among the three generations
of fundamental fermions is usually regarded to be broken by the Higgs
couplings. It is found that the symmetry is restored if we include the mass
matrix parameters as physical variables which transform appropriately under the
symmetry operation. Known relations between these variables, such as the
renormalization group equations, as well as formulas for neutrino oscillations
(in vacuum and in matter), are shown to be covariant tensor equations under the
permutation symmetry group.Comment: 12 page
